Hey ppl – thankyou so much for the reviews they get me motivated so keep sending them in! I will try and keep the flashbacks coming but I find flashbacks can get confusing and interrupt the flow of the story but I will try my best just cos u liked them!
The tyres of Jays BMW screeched over the loose stones of the DuGrey driveway as he drove out of the gates
"Aren't you forgetting something?" asked Elle as she switched radio stations
"Damn!" yelled Jay as he slapped his hands against the steering wheel and pulled the car into reverse
"Not cool man, not cool!" said their neighbour Ryan as he threw his backpack into the back of the car and jumped in
"Like you'd know what cool was" said Jay to his best friend
Elle slapped him on the arm
Ryan adjusted his collar and pulled a book from his backpack
"Dude what is it with you and books?" asked Jay looking at him in the rear-view mirror
"What are you reading Ry?" asked Elle turning to face him
Ryan, as usual, began stammering when faced with Elle's beauty
"Um… well…. it's a modern exploration of the hidden subtext…"
Jay coughed disbelievingly
"…ok it's a gaming magazine" he said pulling the magazine from the book
"Nice" said Elle and turned back to the radio
Ryan folded the magazine back into his bag as they pulled up to the gates of Chilton
"Welcome to the Kingdom people" said Jay as he pulled the car smoothly into his unofficial parking space
Immediately the car was swarmed with Chiltonites, people whom the others liked to call the "beautiful people"
Jay's people
"Jay my man!" said Dave hi-fiveing Jay as he got out of the car
"Elle, a pleasure as always" said Theo opening the car door for her
"Thanks" said Elle as her friends Jody and Si showed up beside her
"So did you hear about Diane Waters's moms nose job? Apparently it got smashed up because she was bonking her hot male nurse!" said Jody gleefully
"Is Diane here today?" asked Elle, horrified
"No the poor thing couldn't face everyone!" said Si "It's the biggest PTA scandal since Mr Mantron came out of the closet at a parent teacher conference"
"So Jay, still got Chrissie on the string?" asked Theo
"Only a matter of time before he's over it" said Dave
"Boys, boys! Its not about the duration!" said Jay grinning "It's about that" he said
All four pairs of eyes zeroed in on Chrissie Simmonds who was at this very moment bending over a lunch table in the middle of the quad, chatting to friends
All four boys groaned
"She is hot!" said Dave slapping Jay on the back
"Definitely, definitely hot" said Ryan, his eyes still on Chrissie
"C'mon guys, learn from the master"
"Mr DuGrey?"
Marlene's voice came over the phone system "It's a call from Mrs DuGrey, I mean! Mrs Gilmore!"
"Put her through thanks Marlene"
"Hello?"
"Hey Tris"
God, he loved it when she called him that
"I was just checking in to see how the kids are"
"Great, great umm… Elle's grades are still phenomenal and Jay hasn't been in detention for a week and a half now"
"That's great… and what about girlfriends and boyfriends?"
"Elle's still beating every guy off with a stick and I'm helping her, and Jay is seeing a lovely girl called Chrissie"
"I give it three days; he's just like his father"
"When are we going to tell them?"
"Do we have to?"
"You don't think your parents will want to know that they're irresponsible playboy son has finally proposed to a suitable stable girl who has accepted?"
"Na, they wouldn't want to know that!" he said beginning to kiss her neck
"Tris! I'm serious, it must have been so hard for your parents"
"I don't like the sound of this"
"It must have been so hard for them, having a son who had so many different girlfriends in high school that he made Hugh Hefner look respectable"
"I was not that bad!"
"Please, you had to fight through the swarms of girl's surrounding you just to get a chance to annoy me!"
"That just shows my animal magnetism! I had no control over them!"
"One word from the King and they would have fainted, you could have had any girl you wanted in that school with your charm"
"Now you're just flattering me, besides I've got the only girl I'll ever want right here in my arms" he said kissing the top of her head
"Well that's all I have to report"
"Ok well I'll try to fly home next Friday for dinner"
"Sure, I'll see you then"
"Ok, well, bye"
"Bye"
It seemed to get harder every day
Did we like that? Don't judge Jay too harshly because he's gone through a lot since his parents divorce and with Tristan's looks he would of course be irresistible. Elle may seem a tad vain but just wait and I've based Ryan around Seth from the OC because I adore him soooo much! We only just got the OC in Australia and I'm already addicted after 2 episodes! Review and suggest plz plz plz!
