Author's Note: Okay, sorry for the delay. I have to fixed my other computer just to send you this one. But I guess that won't do. So here's chapter 4. It's kinda fast. And unlike the other two chapters I've written, I'm feeling a little different so I didn't put much jokes on it. Any way thanks to X Lopez, he offered to edit my work. Look bro, I'll send you the next chapter as soon as I finish it. I just hope I can. And by the way, I'm running low on output. So please send me e-mails (God, I sound desparate).
This is for ML. I love you the first time I saw you.

Chapter 4: How to read the cover
Tristan's POV
"Hey Tristan, the guys will have a party tonight. Why don't you come?" Gary said.
"Um, I don't feel so good. Maybe next time."
"Yeah like your always ditching us. What's up with you man?"
"Look I just don't feel so good okay?" With that Tristan left the room and went to the halls.
What am I doing? God I am such an ass for even thinking about this. I mean I could live a normal life like other kids do but why do I always go back here. Urgh! Why does Maya have to leave me? And that Derrick! I hate him for lying to me all these months. I hate her. I hate him. God, I hate the world.
Just then Tristan stopped in his tracks. For a single second everything vanished except for that person sitting at the table talking to a girl. Suddenly he could hear his heart pounding faster and faster by the second. His breathing became hard and a moment of bliss overpowered him.
Wow. smiling God he really is cute even from here. That angular face. Those blue eyes. That blond hair. That name.... er what's his name again? Oh yeah Terrence. Terrence. Such beautiful name. What beauty. But why? Why am I always drawn to him? I've never felt like this to a man before. But neither have I felt so much lust, or love? Is this wrong?
But then he was shaken into reality, "Oops, I'm really sorry." A girl with long straight hair and chic dress suddenly bumped him. She then smiled at him with those impeccable lips.
"Oh, no big deal. I was in your way Jane" Tristan said while he caught her friends making a thumbs up remark. Well, the whole cheerleading team was there bringing out support to their royal captain, Jane.
"So, Tristan do you have any plans for tonight? The guys have asked me to come to their party and I said yes," After that she flopped her hair like a whirlwind in slow motion seducing Tristan all the way.
"Um, I don't want to sound rude but well, I'm kinda sick right now."
"Oh are you still hurt about your break-up with Maya? Forget about her and move on with your life. There are other girls out there who are dying to be your girlfriend like m...." She then licked her mouth sensually. Suddenly Tristan felt awkward about the whole situation being seduced in the hallways where other people can see them.
"Yeah, well thanks. I should really get going right now." He then left her. His mind kept telling him he should go back and apologize but his heart was telling another. He walked back to the cafeteria where he saw Terrence but he was no longer there. "Damn."
Terrence's POV
Sweat kept running through Terrence's forehead. His body was growing pale. He can almost hear his breath under all silence. "Cathlyn I can't take this anymore."
"Shhh. Just keep quiet and don't move so much."
"But Cat I don't want to do this. Please, I can't."
"God Terrence you sound like we're having sex. Now just sit down there and let's wait for Tristan in the car. He'll be coming out in a few minutes from practice okay?"
Look I don't have to give you the details why I would rather have my hair charred than to be with that bully...Tristan sigh I hate that Mr. Tyler. Doesn't he know that I'm going to be mutilated in a couple of seconds? Urgh!
Cathlyn quickly snapped her binoculars and said to me, "The target has been located. Wow, he looks way cuter from here."
I turned around and well, you know... died. I mean Cathlyn was right. He's not only cute. He looks... yummy! He took his car and drove to his house while we stalked him from behind. I don't know but I've got the feeling Cathlyn was enjoying the whole espionage thing. Then suddenly the car stopped to a house, no I'm sorry for my inappropriateness a huge MANSION! We both looked at each other with our shocked faces.
"Not only is he a fox, he's got the money to go with it. Is he available?" I glared at her. I don't know if it's jealousy or just my unreliable instinct.
"Look, what do I do? He's expecting that a member from the amity club would be there. And I'm here, looking all stupid. Saying stupid things."
"Okay, just relax. We've got everything planned out right? Here take this." By then she began to take out everything in her bag. Wow, this girl is armed. >From pepper spray to electrical taisers, I thought Cathlyn and Buffy are relatives. She then pulled out wires and placed them on my ears. "There, everything's set. You'll be able to communicate through me and me to you. If anything happens just scream and I'll kick ass okay?"
"Okay," I then slipped off the car to the front of Tristan's house. I rang the odd looking doorbell three times and was greeted by an irritated look from what I think was the butler.
"Welcome. Master Tristan is expecting you. Come in." All the while the butler said this with a monotonous tone. Like giving a speech to a mosquito. I felt very welcomed.
"Okay I'm in," I said to Cathlyn on the other line. While I was being lead to a flight of stairs by the butler, Cathlyn kept reminding me to act cool. Just think of him as a patient who needs your help was Cathlyn's advise. How could I be calm when every step I take is like one step closer to hell? Urgh! Finally, the butler left me at the top and said that I should take the room far left. Well, I did but when I got there, I didn't expect what I saw. It was Tristan, on the side of the bed with his back turned to me. There was only one light in the room and I can feel the emptiness around me.
"So why do you want to help me?" Tristan said still not facing me. This is way too eerie.
"I've come to help you in your problems. The amity club said you've been missing classes and stuff. And..."
Tell him he needs your help, Cathlyn said
"And you need my help..." God I'm totally trembling right now.
"Oh, did I ask for any? Look why don't you just leave me alone and..." he then spun around and was cut off. His angry face was changed and we just stared at each other for a long time. I was the one who broke off the stare and looked at my shoes instead.
Introduce first yourself dumbass, Cathlyn kept nagging me on the other line.
"Um, I'm Terrence remember?"
"Yeah, I remember. So your one of them huh?"
"Yeah," Wow, this has got to be the most intelligent conversation I have ever had.
Okay, now go to him and make him tell his story. And don't push it Terrence
I don't what came over me this time. maybe it's the weather, the moon, the shape of earth, I don't know. Suddenly I felt his pain. He was crying all this time and it was glittering in the light. I just found myself beside him and looking straight into his green eyes. You know what they say that the eyes are windows to the soul. I guess it's true then. That moment, I saw the true Tristan.
And then he poured it all to me. All his pain and sorrows. It was about Maya. I knew there was something about her from the incident. I guess they were really in love with each other. He said that they were an item back then and they decided to spend their lives together. But one day Maya had to leave for a year to stay at his parents. He waited her then but time past by and a year turned into two years and three. By the time she got back, he found a different Maya. They began to grow apart. He first suspected that there was somebody else. he just doesn't know who. And when he saw Derek and Maya together, he was crushed.
I don't know what to say when he told me this. I felt real pain for him. I don't know why but it seems that every time he cries I feel like I'm gonna turn up the water works. But no, this isn't about me, its about Tristan. What do I do now? Tell him that everything is going to be all right? Tell him that I'll be there for him whenever he needs someone to cry on? Fuck! I don't see how any of these words could comfort his pain right now. Gee, Terrence, you're going to be really great in the amity club. Urgh!
So after all that he just stared at me again with, yep, you guessed it, those green eyes. Damn! Why does he have those wonderful eyes. And why the heck do I fall for them every time I see him? Urgh! But then he smiled. No, no not the ordinary smile. It's the one that makes you feel all mushy inside. Like you can almost see fireworks and stars. Okay, I may be exaggerating a little but hey, he's a god!
"Why are you smiling?" I said
"Nothing its just that I didn't notice you had blue eyes. I mean with those glasses and stuff. Its beautiful," What? Did he just say what I think he said? Um.... nah....
Okay, so why is he staring again. Now he's moving closer. Closer. Closer. Hey, stop that! Now he's reaching his hand. What the fuck? He's taking off my glasses! Just then did I realize what he would do. I quickly stood up from him and when I try to walk away, I tumbled backwards.
"Ahhhh!" I screamed. I think Cathlyn's wires are broken cause it made a loud bleep that deafened my ears.
"Are you okay?" Tristan said
"Um, fine. I'm fine. I just want to go to the washroom and..." Tristan then pointed out where it was. I immediately left him there. Damn Cathlyn and her wires! That really hurt. I then remove all her nifty gadgets and placed them in my pocket.
"You okay in there?" he yelled behind the door.
"Yeah, just a sec" Damn! Got to get fixed.
"Sorry. I was just...." As I opened the washroom Tristan's door was suddenly banged. I look to see who it was but I quickly knew that voice.
"Freeze FBI!" a woman with a pepper spray in her hand called. The butler was behind her and made a look that said 'she was just too strong' and kept panting his breath. I turned around and looked at Tristan who kinda got confused too.
"It's okay Cathlyn everything is under control. We have the right to remain silent." But she kept her eyes over the room examining it like some crime scene in CSI. "Its okay Tristan. She's a friend. Now can we all put the pepper spray down real slowly. Yes, that's it good girl, now give it to me, that's it." She was still hesitant at first but I grabbed it away from her.
After that we all calmed down. the butler kept cursing under his breath about how Cathlyn literally back flipped and hit him while she was getting in the house. I wasn't surprised at all since she's a Charlie's Angels fan. Tristan made us sit down at his couch and began to interrogate us. Suddenly I felt like the patient here.
"So you two know each other?"
"Yeah. Well we're best friends if that's what you mean," I answered. Cathlyn just hit me with the elbow and looked at me that said 'Would you please stop and let me do all the talking?'.
"Yes, we know each other. No we are not going out. Yes I am single. And yes treating me to dinner would be fine thank you. I'm Cathlyn by the way." Oh, good now she's flirting with him. How nice. Tristan just chuckled. Did I ever mention he had dimples? Wow, that is so cute.
"And I'm Tristan. So why the sudden appearance?" You know somehow I felt Tristan was at ease now. He seems to have forgotten everything. Figuring out that it was okay, we explained to him what we had planned. That I go to his house while I call Cathlyn for back up. He was certainly laughing the whole time. I like making him smile and laugh. It brings out the cuteness in him. Okay, there I go again. Would anyone want to throw bolts of lightning at me? Please?
Well, I looked at my watch and its almost late. Grandma we'll be worried sick. And besides, I think my work here is done. I mean look at those two. They seem like they are comfortable with each other. I really don't want to be the third wheel. So I guess its time.
"Hey guys it's getting late I really should get going" I said as I picked up my stuff.
"Wait I'll drive you," Cathlyn offered.
"No, you stay here and keep Tristan company," She kept refusing but then she finally gave in. I smiled at Tristan and waved bye.
Soon I was on the road. Alone again. The moments kept rushing through me. Today, I met Tristan. I mean not just by knowing his name but his innermost secrets. I really don't know what to think of him now. I mean I really thought he would pounce on me when he took off my glasses. But then I have this strange feeling that when I'm with him everything is going to be just perfect. Urgh! I'm really confused. Hey wise guy upstairs! Isn't this the part where you tell me confusion leads to hate. Hate leads to anger. Anger leads to...... Tristan? I don't know. There, it's the confusion thing again. I think I'm falling.... er......
Come rain dont shine
