The rest of te ride was silent. Not a word was spoken, but then again, it felt like Damien had just spilled out his deep dark thoughts of Ryan. When he did finally speak, he began to say how much he liked and appreciated Alex, but that turned sour quickly. Out of everything Damien had just said, the boyfriends thing struck Alex down hard. "I... I...." Damien left the car before Alex could could even manage a sentence. Alex quickly gathered his emotions and bottled them up. He exited the car and followed Damien into the store. "Well, forget about him. He's not here right now, but I am. Your friend. And your friends says you need a costume. Like now. What do you want?" Alex asked with a smile, trying to hold down his upset feelings and brighten up the mood.

Ryan bit his lip, watching as Reilly walked to his car. He felt he was already dating her, but he knew otherwise. He followed her to the car and started the car. "Books? I don't read to many. It's a little hard to when you live a lone." Ryan replied with a shrug. It was either taking care of himself or hanging out with his friends, but books were not really on his to do list. At least not yet. They might be now... Just for this girl. "And you? You must read a lot." He only guessed that because of the way she speaks. He's met a couple of geniuses in his day, and her speech reminded him of theirs.
