Chapter 12
I sat in Tristin's kitchen eating some pasta he'd made us and looked at all the pictures on the wall. They were either of Tristin, Trisin and his mum, or a family photo. There were non of just Tristin and his dad. He was talking to me about the film 'Avatar' which i'd never seen before so I just nodded and said 'yeah' in appropriate places. All I could think of while he was talking to me was 'god you're so gorgeous' .
Then my mobile rang. "Hello?"
"Kate where the hell are you?" It was my mum sounding very stressed.
"I'm at Tristin's house, why?"
"You were meant to be home at 7:00pm so we could go out for dinner tonight?" Oh shit.
"Oh god sorry mum i'll be right home."
"You better be, you've got 15 minutes." I put the phone down and looked up at Tristin who was giving me a very confused look. "I'm sorry that was my mum, she wants me."
"No worries, i'll whip you home then i'll meet Scott and Damien to see the game." He said it so casually that it made me sad, was this just a casual thing for him, because for me, I was really disappointed to go.

As we pulled up to my house I noticed we'd been 20 minutes instead of 15. I quickly undid my seat belt and grabbed my bag.
"Well you better hurry, you don't want to miss the Vampire Diaries or any of that!"
"You watch that too?!" I said excitedly. He gave me a smile to symbolise he'd been joking.
"Yeah totally, i'm team Edward." He was wrong, so very wrong. But I wasn't going to correct him.
As I turned to get out I felt two strong hands grip my waits. He whipped me round to face him. I braced my self for another amazing kiss, but instead he just kissed me on the cheek. I smiled slightly then got out. Well. It was better than nothing

It was my second weekend in LA and I expected it to be the same as my last one. Homework, wall-mart, Internet. But as I woke up I noticed my phone flashing showing me I had a message.
It was from Elena-
'Hey Kateee, fancy going Malibu today? xoxox'
I smiled at the screen, Elena lived near Malibu and had been telling me about the amazing shops there, and it also had a skate park where Jacob just so happened to hang out. I replied instantly confirming then hopped in the shower.
As I scrunched the shampoo in to my hair I couldn't help but remember the way Tristin's hair smelt of Aussie Shampoo, and they way his lips tasted of the coke we'd been drinking. As I got out and walked back in to my room I was stunned to find my mum sitting on my bed.
"What are you doing?!"
"Good morning to you too." She said sarcastically. "I'm going to go to to wall-mart again today, fancy coming."
"Actually I have plans."
She smiled "You seem to have fitted in well."
"Yeah I guess." I said whilst using my towel to dry my hair.
"Who are you meeting."
"Elena, we're going to Malibu."
"How are you getting there."
"She's going to pick me up." I was now in the middle of deciding what to wear. Trousers or a skirt?
"Oh yeah, that reminds me. You could start taking driving lessons, you know, if you wanted to."
I turned and looked at her in amazement. "Are you serious?" She nodded. "Oh my god thank you thank you thank you!" I said with imense happiness jumping up and down hugging her.
"I know the laws are different here and I don't want you to feel left out from your friends."
"Yeah, that would be great." She smiled then walked out. I was even more exited for the day than I already was.
I decided on another pink skirt but this time with a white bralett and a denim jacked, complete with my lace boots again. Just as i'd finished doing my make up I heard Elena pull up outside. I opened my window and yelled her to wait inside as she walked down the stone path. I grabbed my bag, hair sprayed my hair and I was ready.

As we walked around all the shops I was amazed at how different American shops were. The only shop I recognised was Forever 21 and i'm pretty sure there is only 1 in the whole of England. We bought a few things then decided to get some lunch and McDonalds. It massive, almost as big as the ones in London and the menu was huge. As we sat down to eat Elena began asking me questions about Tristin.
"So, have you kissed yet?" I tried not smile and give it away. "I know that look!" She said excitedly. "You have haven't you!"
"Maybe a little, well, just the once."
"And how was it?"
"Ah-may-zing." We broke out in hysterical girlie laughing.
"Was he a good kisser did he bite you lips, oooh did he pull your hair?"
"Yes, no and a little." We began going in to detail when I looked out the window across the the mall to an expensive looking boutique.
Was that Tristin?
It was.
And who was that with him?
Was that?
Destiny?
