Chapter Six
Quite the Meeting...I Guess
Tristin and I were walking back to the park
"Is Stars Hollow always like this?" Tristin asked quietly.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, it is." I licked my ice vanilla cream cone while trying to hold Crystal's cone steady.
"I mean everyone's staring at us."
"They're trying to get to know you. Get the 411 on ya and then gossip." I saw Miss Patty hiding behind her barn doors.
We walked in silence for a while.
"Worse than the Chilton hotline?" Tristin asked. It took me a minute to register what was he was talking about.
"Oh yea, much worse." I said slowly while eating my ice cream.
"All little slow there, Ror." Tristin chuckled.
"Yeah," I nodded as we reached the park entrance.
"So, I'm gonna go give this to Tina and uh yea." Tristin pointed to Christina...Tina's direction.
"Okay?" I laughed. I turned and headed for the sandbox. There waiting was Crystal bouncing up and down.
"Did you get me ice cweam?"
"Yes, I got you ice cream." I handed her the slightly melting strawberry ice cream.
Crystal's eyes lit up when she saw the ice cream. "Thank you."
"Your welcome." I turned around to sit at a bench and saw Lane walking towards me.
"Lane! How was camp?"
"It was great. Guess who I saw?" Lane was grinning from ear to ear, literally.
I smiled, it wasn't hard to figure out. "Henry."
"Yes! We hung out like the whole time."
"I'd believe so." Actually I know so...I mean they're so cute together.
"Hey, you must be Lane." Tristin said walking up to us.
"You...you know who I am?"
"Oh, yeah...you see Henry talks about you in his sleep." Tristin told Lane.
Lane turned red. "He does not."
Tristin winked at me. "I know he does."
"Okay...so you go to Chilton huh?"
Tristin nodded, "Yeah, I'm Tristin."
Lane's jaw dropped. "You're Tristin?"
"Yeah."
"And you're hanging out with him?" Lane asked me.
"Well...uh...yea I guess." I said.
"Excuse us for a moment." Lane said pulling me aside. "Why didn't you tell me Tristin was hot?"
"I didn't tell you because he is not hot." To someone else he can be hot but no, not me.
"Rory."
"He's cute, I guess."
"And you never told me be that because?"
"You're not supposed to think that the person that made your life a living hell, cute or hot or anything like that."
Lane looked at her watch. "I'll call you tonight. Bye Tristin."
"Bye." Tristin waved.
"Bye." Lane waved to me heading home.
"Bye." I waved back.
"So that was Lane huh?" Tristin asked finishing off his cone.
"That was Lane." I agreed taking a bite into the cone.
"Quite the meeting."
"I guess." I shrugged.
