Ya so i'm on a home network. My computer is *.*.*.101, other one is *.*.*.100, the router is *.*.*.1, and I just did a port scan and it's finding *.*.*.255

Is this a reserved IP address that the router also uses? It's a wireless network so I just wanna makes sure its not someone else.

.255 is the broadcast address. It's a reserved address that no device can take. It's nothing to worry about.
