1.1 Chapter 11

~Kitchen~

"What was all that weird dancing in here?" Tristan asked laughing.

"Oh, we were just really happy about Lane's 3 days of freedom."

"So are we ready to go?"

"Yeah."

Rory was glad Lane was riding with them. If she weren't, there would be huge awkwardness between her and Tristan along the ride there. Actually, if Lane weren't going, then she wouldn't have invited Tristan at all.

~Car~

Rory turned to Tristan.

"You do know how to get there, right?"

"Of course. I've been there before many times."

"Good."

Other than those words, there was silence until Tristan turned on the radio. It turned on to 105.1, the classical channel. He immediately changed it to another channel, 102.7 KIISFM.

Nobody knew that he liked to listen to classical music. It helped clear his mind when he was driving.

Just then Michelle Branch's "Everywhere" came on.

"I love this song!" exclaimed Rory and Lane together, and then started singing along.

Tristan then started to laugh towards Rory.

"What? Is there something wrong with my singing?"

"Uh, yeah, you're singing out of tune."

She pouted.

He tried to keep a serious face but her pout made him burst out laughing; which made her slap his arm jokingly.

Lane laughed, watching them. They definitely are attracted to each other. She thought. They're oblivious to one another's attraction to the other.

"Fine then, you try to sing." Rory challenged.

"No thanks"

"Why? Are you afraid you won't sing better than I do?"

"Of course not. I'll sing way better than you. But I just don't like singing in public."

"Fine" Rory replied.

Tristan was surprised that she gave up so easily.

Lane was sitting in the back observing the pair's banter.
