Quiet Please, There's A Lady On Stage
Boys were stupid. Tristin wouldn't leave her alone and Dean couldn't take no for an answer. Rory's mind startedto vent...Why does he have to watch the stupid play? Why does he think he has a right? It's nothing to do with him. It's just school!
But then she knew that Tristin had probably sought him out on purpose, to goad him, so maybe that made it okay for Dean to be jealous? No it's not! He should trust her enough to know that there was nothing going on. She never had any intention of kissing Tristin again for fun...but right at that moment she didn't have much desire to kiss Dean either.
It all made her head hurt too much. During a break in rehearsal she slipped away from Miss Patty's studio, to stand in the darkness of the town square. She could see a crazy haired figure wiping the tables down in Luke's and for a second she forgot about Crazy-Possesive Dean and Give-Me A-Bigger-Spoon-To-Stir-Up-Trouble Tristin. She began wondering what it would be like to kiss someone else entirely....just for a second... Some seconds can last longer than others. She went back inside when she realised her face was getting uncomfortably warm.
