Chapter 10
The rest of the day, Andrew spent in his room playing his guitar, writing lyrics, and doing his homework.

He just wasn't in the mood to be around people. He did, however, come down for dinner. He didn't say much, though.

After dinner, when Andrew was walking up the stairs when the phone rang. After a couple of rings someone must have picked up.

Then his mother yelled from downstairs,"Andrew! Phone!"

After a sigh, Andrew walked the rest the the way to his room and picked up the phone.

"Ok, mom! I have it!" he yelled downstairs away from the receiver.

"Hello?" he said into the receiver.

"Hey, Andy," Dean said.

"Hey, man, whats up?" Andrew asked walking to his window.

"Not much..Andy it seemed like something was bothering you afterschool...did something happen?" Dean asked.

"Andrea already tried to talk to me about it and I just can't tell her," Andrew said into the phone.

"Ah, so it is about Kelly."

"How did you know?"

"Because I can tell. Now tell me what happened," Dean said.

"Ok, well, I was walking to the parking lot to meet you and Andrea afterschool and, well, I saw Kelly...and Dave. They were flirting

and it wasn't a great feeling that I got watching them," Andrew explained.

"Whoa, did Kelly look like she was liking him?"

"I don't know. Maybe. Probably."

"Thats just weird, man. It seemed like she was liking you. It really did.." Dean said.

"I just can't get my mind off of her."

"Well, maybe you just have to let it go."

"What?" Andrew asked.

"You know..let it go. I mean, maybe you and Kelly, well, maybe you should just forget about her," Dean said carefully.

"Forget anout Kelly?"

"Don't you want Kelly to be happy?" Dean asked.

"Yeah," Andrew said simply.

"Your miserable now, I know, but maybe you should break away from her for a while. Work on your music, or work on motocross. YOu have the

opportunity to race in Europe! That is a once in a life time opportunity pretty much!" Dean said.

"I don't know, Dean. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Ok, can you get ANdrea? I want to talk to her," Dean said.

"K, one second," Andrew said.

Andrew walked over to his door and opened it. Then he yelled,"ANDREA! DEAN IS ON THE PHONE!"

After hearing that Andrea had picked up the phone, Andrea hung his phone up, and sat in his chair. He didn't want to just sit down and

watch Kelly be with another guy, but if that is what she wanted..then maybe he should just let her be with Dave.

"Whatever would make her happy, even if she would be dating one of my good friends.." he said to himself.

The next day, Andrew got up rather on the early side and showered. After he was dressed he got all of his stuff ready for the day. He brought his

back pack, and guitar downstairs. Then he had breakfast and waited for Dean to arrive to bring him and Andrea to school.

When he was sitting on the couch waiting, his father came in.

"Morning, Andrew, have you thought about Europe next summer?" he asked standing in front of him.

"Um, yeah. I think I will go, dad," Andrew said.

"Great! I will tell them today!" Mr. Carson said with a big smile.

When Mr. Carson left, ANdrew was left with his thoughts.

'Yes, this is the right choice. I love motocross. It is a great opportunity...best of all..it should keep my mind off of Kelly,' he thought.
A/N: Next chapter will have ANdrew in school and his audition and a little surprise before that maybe.. :-)

Review please?
