"Come on." Riley said, grabbing his bag, motioning for Hallie to follow. 'What am I getting myself into?' Hallie thought but followed anyway. He stopped and waited for the rest of his friends to get off, as they talked for awhile. When they finally came, The girl with the red streaks looked her up and down, nodding her approval.
"Introductions." She said. "You already know Riley, I'm Tilley, she Samantha and the perv over there is Aaron."
"I resent that comment." Aaron said, shouldering his backpack. "Lets get something to eat, I'm starving!" So they went to everyone's favorite restaurant; Fuddruckers (A/N: They have the BEST cheeseburgers!)
"So, Hallie, were are you staying?" Riley asked, taking a bite of his burger. She swallowed her fry.
"Oh, well um I don't really know." She said. "I was just going to stay at a hotel, or something." Aaron almost chocked on his burger.
"No you can't stay at a hotel, you should stay with Riley and me!" He said happily. Riley smacked him on the head, and Tilly wiped her head around and pulled the fry right out of her mouth.
"No she won't you rapist!" She yelled. Aaron laughed and held up his hands in surrender.
"I was just trying to be hospitable!"
"Yeah, hospitable my butt! You can stay with Sam and me." Tilly said. Sam glared daggers at Tilly, then Hallie, but no one seemed to notice.
"So, you play guitar?" Riley asked. Hallie nodded.
"Yeah a little." She replied.
"That's cool." Riley. "We've got a band going ourselves." Hallie looked at him in surprise.
"Oh really? What's it called?" Tilly glanced at Riley and gave him an I-Know-something-you-don't-know look.
"The Unmasked." Tilly said.
"In fact." Riley said. "We're playing tonight, if you want to watch or something." Samantha looked up in shock at Riley and then glared at Hallie. But apparently she didn't notice because she agreed.
Tilly, who had been examining the two very closely decided she had to go to the bathroom and asked, no told Hallie to come with her. 'Your a big girl you can go yourself.' She thought to herself, but went anyway and almost tripped over Samantha's leg that had mysteriously materialized in her path.
X Samantha's P.O.V X
Witch. I hate her. How dare she! Little miss 'Oh I'm so alone, I have no where to go. Can I stay with you Riley?' God I can't believe that little ho is trying to take Riley from me! Any now she's going to be living with me! I HATE HER!
Slut! Ho! She's not even that pretty. She looks like she hasn't had a shower in days, and she's chubby. Little miss 'Oh I love emo music! Yes my life has been so tragic I'm running away, when the real tragedy is that I'm such a whore!' I hate her!
"What' ticking you off?" Aaron asked. I glared at him.
"Nothing."
X End P.O.V X
Tilly sat on one of the sinks glancing down at her chipping black nail polish.
"Sam hates you." She said nonchalantly.
"Yeah I kind of figured that." She said, noting all the death glares she had received and near tripping experiences.
"But I don't." She said. Turning her attention to the mirror.
"Good to know."
"And apparently neither does Riley." She said slyly looking at her expression. Hallie raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Really now?"
"Well duh! He was so flirting with you." Hallie was confused. She tried to wrap her mind around it but dismissed the thought.
"No he wasn't. He was just being nice." Hallie said. Tilly rolled her eyes and turned around from the mirror.
"No offense , Hal, but your kind of stupid when it comes to guys." She said.
"Don't you have to pee?" Hallie asked, trying to change the subject..
"Oh I already did." Tilly said then started laughing at her shocked expression. "I'm kidding!" She laughed as she walked into the stall.
"Oh. Ha, ha, ha."

"Welcome to our humble abode." Tilly said prancing into the small apartment. Tilly gave her a tour, while Samantha locked herself in her room. Hallie walked into the room that was going to be hers. It was kind of small but she didn't care, She set her guitar in the corner, and her bag on the air mattress.
"It's not much but, whatever you know?" Tilly said. Hallie nodded.
"Thanks." Hallie.
"yeah, if your hungry help your self to whatever you want." She said, and went onto the computer. Around five o'clock, she was hungry, so she found a small box of fish, and stuck it in the oven to cook. A little while later Hallie took it out of the oven , and then decided that it looked to nasty to eat. Just as she was about to throw it away, when Samantha came out eyes blazing, and yelling at her in German. Tilly came out to see what the commotion was about, and glanced at the fish thing.
"Oh no." Tilly said "She hates fish. It's a funny story really you see -"
"No!" Samantha yelled. "That's the last straw. I'm going back to Germany." She said. She ran into her room, hearing tons of slamming around, she emerged with a suitcase, two bags and a box. She was still muttering in German and slammed the door. Five minutes later Tilly looked down at the thing that was supposed to be fish.
"Your not really going to eat that are you?" Tilly asked.
"Wha... No. Aren't you upset?" Tilly shrugged.
"Nope. She never paid her half of the rent. And she was kind of a psycho, and not the cool kind either. She was freakin' crazy!" Hallie laughed a little.
"I'm really sorry though. I mean"
"Well for starters we just lost our guitar player."
"Oh I'm sorry! If there's anything I can do to make it up-"
"You play right?" Tilly asked looking for something.
"Play what? Guitar? Yea a little but"
"Good. You can borrow Riley's electric guitar. Come on." She said grabbing her car keys. "We gotta head over to Aarons for practice."
X
"WE WHAT!" Aaron yelled, from the basement of his house where they practiced.
"Is aid Sam went back to Germany." Tilly repeated slowly like talking to an 8 year old instead of and 18 year.
"Why!" He asked half whining half yelling.
"Apparently she doesn't like fish." Hallie quipped.
"Oh no, you didn't tell her the story did you?" Aaron asked.
"No but I am now, you see what happened was-"
"NO!" Aaron yelled running over to Hallie and covering her ears. "You will not poison her fragile and innocent mind!" He yelled.
"What?" Hallie asked.
"Trust me, you don't want to know. I didn't want to know but she told me and now I'm telling you , you don't wanna know." A few minutes later Riley came upon finding the microphone chord and looked around.
"Where's Sam?" He asked. So Tilly told him the whole story.
"And now, Hallie is going to play in her place." She said finishing up.
"Ok good." He said and handed her his old electric. "You can borrow this one for now. " He said, and then they practiced. And practiced and practiced and-
"Hey wait. Hey hold up." Hallie said. Riley turned around to look at her. "I don't know this chord."
"Which one?" He asked walking over. "Oh that one? Yea most people don't." He said and moved her fingers on the fret board where they were supposed to be. "Alright now strum." He said. It came out as a dull buzz sound. Riley laughed. "Well that's one way. You have to press your fingers down harder, and keep this finger on the 6th fret 3rd string." 'Wow way to close for comfort.' Hallie thought. His black hair hung over his eyes. HE IS SO HOT! "Alright, try it again." He said. Hallie stummed and it came out beautifully. "Good job." He said looking up at her. Wow he's got really nice eyes...
"Um, yeah I got it." She said, swallowing hard.
"K. Good" He said and let go of her hand immediately when he heard Tilly snickering in the background. "Alright, everyone start from the beginning." He said. Hallie rearranged her fingers to the first chord and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Don't get attached to anyone! Hallie told herself. Too late.
A/N: Ooo is there a romance budding? I don't know. Alright Haldir will be in the next chappie I promise. I just had to get the plot going. Alright. R&R please.
