~*~*~*~ Chapter 2~*~*~*~
"How long does it take someone to get their hair gel out of the bus?" Jesse asked the other guys of Dream Street. They were all in a hotel room waiting for Chris to return.

"Hey, it's Chris. He has a lot of hair stuff, remember that." Greg laughed at the thought of Chris carrying an armful of hair gel bottles down the hall. The guys always joked about Chris and his hair.

"He better get back soon. We have to get up early tomorrow, and he has to de-gel his hair." Frankie joked.
"Oh, I am so sorry. Are you okay?" Chris helped the girl off the floor. He noticed that her pretty reddish brown hair was a mess and he hoped his hair didn't look like that. Chris wanted t o make a good impression on her. She's cute, even though she's such a mess ... me and my gel bottles! Chris thought to himself.

Kylie slowly got up and took a good look around. What is with all the hair gel? she wondered. Then, she noticed there was a shadow hovering over her. Looking up, she saw Chris and sweetly smiled at him. The first things she noticed about him were his hazel eyes and his spiky hair ( of course ). Kylie could feel her heart skip a beat.

"Are you okay?" Chris asked again.

"Umm ... yeah, I think."

"Sorry, I guess I must've dropped a few bottles here and there."

"No, I wasn't looking. I was looking for the key card to my room."

"You mean this?" Chris bent over and picked up the card lying on the hotel's carpeting. He handed it to her.

"Thanks ... umm ..."

"Chris."

"Thanks, Chris." There was silence for a moment.

"And you are?"

"The girl who tripped over your hair gel." she laughed.

"I know, I meant your name." he laughed. He has the cutest laugh, she thought.

"I'm just messin with you. I'm Kylie." More silence. "Well, umm ... yeah, I guess I better get going. It was nice meeting you, Chris."

"You, too. I'll see you around." Chris smiled and the two went in their separate ways.

Kylie smiled to herself as she found her way to her room. She opened the door and found McKenzie, Becca and Kori watching TV.

"Where have you been?" all three girls asked in unison.
"Where have you been?" Jesse, Matt, Greg and Frankie asked as Chris walked into the room. Chris put his hair stuff on the table and threw his denim jacket on the chair.

"I umm ... kinda tripped a girl."

"Chris, when we said that girls fall head over heels for you, we didn't mean literally." the guys laughed at Matt's joke.

"Yeah, but see, she tripped over my bottles of hair gel." he told his friends what happened. They all thought it was pretty funny.

"Did you get her name? Was she ugly? How did she look?" Frankie asked.

"Yeah, her name's Kylie. No, she wasn't ugly ... not at all. She was real pretty, you guys would've thought so too." Chris let out a deep sigh and pictured Kylie in his mind.

"Chris wants her." Jesse said.

"I want to go out with her."

"Chris is in love." Matt announced.

"Ooooooh, Chris is in love. Chris loves Kylie. Chris is in loooooove." the rest of the guys chanted. Chris picked up a pillow and threw it at Matt.

"But really, the best thing about her is that she doesn't realize that you're from Dream Street." Frankie pointed out.

"Yeah, really." Chris agreed.
"So really, where were you?" Becca was growing impatient.

"Well, to make a long story short, I guess you could kinda say that I met this guys. His name's Chris - he's really hot too!"

"Wait, he's in this hotel?"

"Yeah."

"Well, let's track him down!!!!" Becca picked up the phone.

"No, really, that's okay!" Kylie laughed.

"Did he ask you out or anything?"

"Nope, I just got his name. Then we left."

"That was it?! You should've stayed a while and flirted with him."

"No, I don't think he was interested anyway." But I was, Kylie thought.

"Well, go to sleep now. We decided to stay in Pine Valley tomorrow and see what's around here." Kori informed.

K ylie hoped she would see Chris again. She couldn't seem to get him off her mind and Chris couldn't get her off his mind.
