Tristan suddenly glanced up as Rory entered the diner. Rory saw Jess walk
out of the kitchen and just waved and walked out with Tristan. She'd
explain it to him later. Tristan came first, at the moment.
As they walked down the street, Rory thought how glad she was that Tristan had come back for her. Even though she had treated him so badly during his time at Chilton, she had missed him. She could see that he had changed and she liked those changes.
Finally, they arrived at the creek where Rory had been so many times with Jess. Tristan had heard that this was a romantic spot and decided to take Rory there for their "first date". Tristan wasn't sure but he thought it was a date.
Did she? he thought. Well, he was enjoying himself and she looked as if she was too. It was weird for him, usually it was all clear-cut with girls. He knew when they were going out together as just friends and he knew when it was a date.
This time, he didn't. Was Jess her boyfriend? Was this a date? Tristan began to think of a million questions to ask her but his new friendship with her prevented him from doing so. He just didn't want to ruin this, quiet yet. He would wait a bit and then plan on getting her back.
"Tristan, why are you smiling?" said Rory.
"Oh, nothing. I was just noticing how beautiful it is here", said Tristan. He wish he could tell her he was thinking about the kiss they shared last year but now wasn't the right time. He would tell her later when the time was right about how he felt about that kiss.
"So, how do you like military school?" Rory asked, chewing on her sandwich.
"Well, they're aren't a lot a girls and if they are there, they're either ugly or gay. Not that I don't have anything against them, it's just that I can't date gay girls. Otherwise, it's okay", said Tristan.
"Good. Chilton hasn't changed much since you left".
"Glad to hear of it".
"Tristan, you have to understand something. I know you came back for me but even though Jess and I aren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend, I like him a lot and nothing is going to change that. I used to have feelings for you but I don't anymore so I just want to remain friends", said Rory.
"Sure, I understand", said an upset Tristan. He was trying to hide it but he didn't know if he doing a good job hiding it.
"Look, I got to go. Bye. I'll see you at the diner tomorrow", said Rory as she began to walk out.
Tristan gathered up the picnic and put in the basket. He was still there, dangling his feet in the clear calm water and thinking about Rory when the sun set many hours later.
