Author's note: Well, luckily, this chapter is longer. I'm working on this instead of my homework... Haha...

Jamie's motorcycle had broken down, and since he hadn't had a chance to look at it yet, Tyler was going to give him a ride from school to the station.
"Thanks," Jamie said getting into Tyler's white truck.
"No problem," Tyler replied. "Do you mind if I make a quick stop at my house? I need to drop something off for my mom."
"Sure." Jamie looked out the window. "Hey," he said and pointed. "Isn't that the new girl?"
The "new girl" was walking home from school.
Tyler glanced out the window to where Tyler was pointing. "Yeah. Uh, Chloe. She just moved in next door."
"Really?"
Tyler stopped at the red light. "Yeah."
"Hey, Chloe!" Jamie yelled out the window.
Tyler gave him a "What the hell are you doing?" look.
"Chloe!" Jamie yelled again.
Chloe turned around, looking for who had called her name.
"You want a ride?" Jamie asked.
Chloe hesitated. She didn't recognize him, and she didn't want to get into a car with people she didn't know.
"We're going right by your house, since you live by Tyler, right? So, we figured we would give you a lift over there," Jamie tired to persuade her.
Tyler leaned forward and gave a little wave to Chloe, just to show her that he was actually there.
By this time, the stop light had turned green. The people behind Tyler's truck began to honk in anger and annoyance.
"We're going, we're going!" Jamie called to the people honking their horns. He looked expectantly at Chloe, waiting for her answer.
Pressured, Chloe quickly thought of how long the walk ahead of her would be. "Uh, sure..."
Jamie opened the car door and slid over to make room for Chloe.
As soon as Cloe had gotten into the car and shut the door, Tyler hit the gas. The people behind him were pissed.
"Thanks." Chloe buckled her seat belt.
"No problem," Tyler and Jamie said simultaneously.
"I'm Jamie Waite, and I think you already know Tyler."
"Yeah, actually. I'm Chloe Andrews, but I'm guessing you already know that..."
An awkward silence followed. Somehow, talking to Chloe almost made Jamie... shy...
Thankfully, they reached Chloe's house pretty quickly.
"Thanks again for the ride," Chloe said getting out of the car and shutting the door. She smiled.
Jamie smiled back. "Any time."
Tyler rolled his eyes, but no one saw him. Jamie was too preoccupied with watching Chloe walk up to her front door. He watched her go inside as Tyler pulled into his own driveway.
"Obsess much?" Tyler asked as he got out of the car to run inside quick.
Author's note: Well, this chapter is somewhat longer. Don't worry though, I'm sure I'll update soon. I wrote it during study hall, and it looked A LOT longer on paper...
