Don't Trip

Trip Fontaine is an interesting character in this book, in some ways he is similar to the boys, but he "never mixed up the Lisbon girls so theres a difference" (75). As a character he is described at first as that smooth guy who did whatever he wanted to. For some reason, (I don't know what it is) "he didn't understand how she had bewitched him, nor having done so she promptly forgot his existence, and in desperate moods he asked his mirror why the only girl he was crazy about was the only girl not crazy about him. (76).  Why doesn't Lux like Trip? She doesn't seem like the person who would go for him however given his prior description it seems a little weird that she doesn't want to acknowledge him. Why does she eventually acknowledge him and agree to hang out with him even if the scene is really weird ? It seems almost out of obligation she does so. He is far more vocal than the boys about to Lux but the boys seem to have a deeper interest.
