"What are you doing here", she asked.
"I'm back on vacation from military school. Since you were always talking about this place and this town, I decided to check it out for myself. I discovered how nice it was and decided to work here", he said.
"But Luke said you were a friend of …"
"Jess. He asked me if I was and I was yes because I thought it would help me get a job here", he interrupted.
"But why do you need a job? Your parents pay for everything", she asked.
"Not anymore. I'm still paying for the damage I caused during my 'wild streak'. At school, I had a job in the office filing papers. Imagine that".
"Wow! You've really changed. I'm glad. Hey, I know I'll see you a lot here but you want to get together anytime soon?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure. You sure your boyfriend, Dan or whatever his name is won't mind?" said Tristan.
"Dean won't mind. We kind of just broke up".
"Sorry. We're just old friends anyway", said Tristan hoping that things weren't going to stay that way.
The only reason he had come back was her. All those months at school and he had missed her. Even though he had other girls in his life, nobody could compare to her. The way she said "Tristan, leave me alone" or walked away when he called her Mary, that was what he missed the most, calling her Mary. He knew she hated it but deep inside really loved it.
"Mary, can I get you some coffee?"
"Actually, I just got some but thanks anyway. I have to go meet a guy. We're working on a project for school. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Bye" she said as she walked out and began heading to the bookstore.
