CHAPTER 3
In the SUV and Asking Who That Was and What Was the Rush
"TRISTAN!" Rory yelled as she came to the edge of her front yard.
Tristan spun around so fast that he tripped on his way up the stairs and almost fell down. By that time, Rory had gotten to the stairs and she put out her arms to catch him, but it was no use, she couldn't hold up Tristan, he weighed almost two times as much as her. Rory landed on her knees but Tristan remained standing, well standind after he got his balance back.
"Rory, are you okay?" Tristan asked as he pulled her up.
"Ya I'm fine. are you okay?" Rory asked while feeling her cheeks getting warm again.
'how could I have done that? I should've just thrown myself down on the steps, it probably would've had the same effect' Rory thought to herself angrily.
"I'm good. Even better now that your hear" Tristan said.
'he's flirting with me' Rory thought to herself
'I'm flirting with her, slow down DuGrey, don't scare her off , her cheeks are going red. how cute! she might be a little embarrsed about 'falling', change the topic'
"Are you ready? or did you have to do something before we leave?" Tristan asked quickly but smoothly
"um, I just want to go inside and check the messages and stuff, is that okay? or do you think we'll be late for the game?"
Tristan quickly looked at his watch
"We can spare about 10 minutes. Is that enough time?"
"tons. I'll be done in 2 minutes"
Rory ran inside the house and Tristan followed her. He quietly stood just inside the house. He watched her run up to the bathroom, she came out wearing a light blue sweater which made her look even more angelic. ! minute down. Then she ran into the kitchen and pushed the play button on the ansering machine.
"Babette here - "
Rory cut her off and went to the next message
"Hey Ro-"
Rory hit the machine hard and quickly turned her back to it, so that she was facing Tristan, she hadn't known that Tristan was there, she was hoping that Tristan didn't hear Dean's voice on the maching.
"um, I'm ready to go"
Tristan looked at his watch again
"and with 30 seconds to spare! lets go!" Tristan said enthustically
Tristan grabbed Rory's and ran out of the house. Tristan was so excited about being able to go the basketball game with Rory, maybe this could devlope into a relationship.....
'don't get ahead of yourself now DuGrey, just use what you have'
Tristan got in the drivers seat of the SUV and looked over at Rory
"lets get pumped up for the game!" Tristan said to Rory
Tristan turned on his CD player and out came DaRude's 'Sandstorm'. Rory smiled and so did Tristan, he turned up the base and headed off to the Chilton senior basketball game.
They were 5 blocks away from Chilton when Tristan got the sudden urge to ask Rory a question. Tristan turned down the CD player at the red light and faced Rory.
"Rory?"
"yeah?"
"um, this may be none of my business, but who was that on your answering machine?"
"Babette? oh she's our next door neighbor, she's this short lady with a - "
"no not her" Tristan had cut her off "the other message, the one you turned off really quckly. even before he could say you name"
"I don't know, it wasn't important"
Tristan noticed the light had turned green and he turned the corner onto Chilton Street.
They were now one block away from Chilton and he still wanted to know.
"Rory?"
"yeah?"
"are you dating someone? that person, no that guy, who left a messdage for you?"
"what? no Tristan"
By that time they had parked in the school parking lot and Rory was getting nervous. How had she managed to ALMOST let it slip to either of the guys about the other!!??
Rory jumped out of the SUV and spoke quickly
"come on Tristan! I'm pumped for the game. Are you going to join me?!" Rory asked excitedly
"sure"
Tristan locked the SUV from his key-chain and he grabbed Rorys hand and they ran into the building screaming for Chilton along with the other supporters.
