One Missed Call From Tristan

Call Seventeen.

*Piper calling from her phone to Keith's phone at 10:21 p.m. February 25th.*

Keith: "Hello?"

Piper: "Hi, Keith. It's Piper."

Keith: "Yeah I know."

Piper: "Is this a bad time?"

Keith: "Not really... I mean I was just spending time with my girlfriend.."

Piper: " Oh! Sorry I'll -"

Keith: "I'm joking, I don't have a girlfriend. Anyway, what's up?"

Piper: "Oh, well I talked to Tristan today."

Keith: " And?"

Piper: "And he lied again. I asked him what he'd been up to and he said all he did was school and stayed home all the time. I really wished he just open up to me already!"

Keith: "Guys don't 'just open up' that easily but I understand where you're coming from."

Piper: " I just don't get him. He has two friends that really care about him yet he just wants to go through all of this alone."

Keith: *sighing* " I guess he's use to being alone in situations now. I mean it was the same way after my mom died, but eventually I came out of it and finally talked about it."

Piper: *pouting* "I think it would be harder on him, just a little anyway. Ya know with his dad just leaving the way he did and then the divorce and everything. I just feel so bad for him and I want to give him the world's longest and largest hug and tell him it's going to be alright and, and, I don't know! Just make sure he had a shoulder to cry on. Or at least someone to talk to."

Keith: *smirking* "Yeah, I'm more than sure he'd love that."

Piper: " Meaning?"

Keith: "Oh nothing, little oblivious girl."

Piper: " I'm not oblivious, nor am I little!"

Keith: " You are oblivious.  And aren't you, like what fourteen? That's little to me."

Piper: " Whatever. I can see why you and Tristan are friends. Anyway, I have to go - I'm at a sleep over and I've been hogging the bathroom. Bye!"

Keith: "Okay, bye."

*End of phone call at 10:33 p.m.*
