A/N: So here I was in the middle of writing out another story when my muse decided to add a whole bunch of stuff to the said story and she wouldn't let me go back to writing the story that I was working on... Hence why I'm now going to be doing this story besides three others... LOL... My muse is just... awesome... * mutters * I was doing so fine until the little devil got another idea... * clears throat and looks around * Okay sorry about that people... Now onto the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own GG... * mutters * hell I don't even own my muse right now!

Rory Gilmore was frustrated and she hated being frustrated. Besides that because she had been running late today she had only had one cup of coffee and she was in need of some badly. To top it off Tristan Dugray was back at Chilton's and he was already constantly making plays for her. She wasn't sure what to do about them or if she should do anything about them. She felt bad when he left to go to Military school but she had to admit that he came back hotter than ever and to her in a lot of ways he was a changed boy.

While she still thought him cocky and arrogant she had to admit that he was also well sweet sometimes for a lack of a better word. There had been a couple of times this week when she had had to deal with some idiot who didn't like the fact that she told them to leave her alone or back off and every single time that happened Tristan was right there making sure that said person would leave her alone. Then again there were the times when she just wanted to slap that smirk off of his face and that is usually when he is talking to her or hinting at something sexual.

She wasn't sure why but today she was feeling uneasy. It was as if she knew that something was going to happen today but she wasn't sure what. She let out another sigh as she thought about the fact that she still had an hour and fifteen minutes until lunch. She just hoped that the hour and fifteen minutes would pass quickly because if it didn't then she wouldn't be held responsible for her actions.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Tristan standing at her locker. She quickly made the rest of the way to her locker and after fiddling with it for about a minute she got it to open. She put the book that was in her hand in her locker and grabbed out the book she would need for her next class and shut her locker. She felt Tristan's eyes on her and knew that he would continue to look at her until she finally looked at him so with that thought in mind she finally turned her head and raised an eyebrow.

"Hey Mary." Tristan said with a smirk.

Rory once again rolled her eyes. "Hey Tristan what can I do for you today?"

Tristan got a gleam in his eye and said "Well you could come with me to an empty classroom and kiss me."

Rory sighed and closed her eyes because she knew she walked right into that one. "It's not going to happen Tristan. If you don't get going now you're going to be late to class."

Tristan sighed dramatically and said "If I'm going to be late so are you since we both have the same class. Lets walk and talk since I know how you hate to be late to class."

Rory shook her head and started walking but she knew that Tristan would follow her. After all they did this day in and day out since he returned. She actually didn't mind their banter or the fact that he loved to tease her while they walked to class but there was no way that she was going to admit that. Just like there was no way that she was going to admit that she liked Tristan and had before he left for Military school and that what she felt for him has just grown since his return. She silently groaned as she thought about that and wondered if it just wouldn't be easier to give in to Tristan because every day she was drained.

Tristan looked over at Rory and said "Mary are you okay?"

Rory looked over at Tristan and could see the concern in eyes. "I'm fine Tristan. It's just I was running late today and only had one cup of coffee and then to top it off I had to deal with an idiot an on the bus today. Plus for some reason I've been feeling real uneasy today and I don't know why."

Tristan was surprised that Rory actually opened up to him and that showed clearly on his face for a second before his trademark smirk appeared on his face and he threw his arm around her shoulder and said "Don't worry Mare nothing will happen today. I'll buy you a cup of coffee at lunch. I know how much you like your coffee."

Rory and Tristan were both surprised when she didn't try to pull out from under his arm or that she didn't shrug his arm from around her like she normally would. Both as they walked in silence for a few seconds were thinking about what that could possibly mean for them by themselves. They both saw people looking at them in surprise but they ignored the looks and continued walking.

As they neared the classroom door Rory finally looked at Tristan and said with a smile "I'll hold you to that Tristan. I really do need some more coffee before I go crazy."

Tristan laughed and guided Rory into their class with his arm still around her shoulder and said "Hold me to that Mary. By the way how is Stock boy doing?"

Rory sighed and sat down in the seat that Tristan had led her to and then looked over her shoulder at him as he sat down behind her and shook her head. "I don't know how Dean is doing and I really don't care. I quit caring after finding him making out with random girls while dating me."

Tristan looked at Rory in shock and his mouth dropped slightly opened. "He cheated on you? I'll hurt that asshole!"

Rory smiled faintly at Tristan and shook her head again. "Please Tristan for me don't. I could really care less about Dean but what has me concerned is he doesn't seem to be taking the fact that I refuse to talk to him, answer his calls or see him. Every time I turn around it's like he's right there. Last night when I was trying to sleep he actually tried to open up my bedroom window."

As Tristan listened to Rory talk he got a sinking feeling in his stomach. He saw the fear that Rory was trying to hide and all of his protective instincts came to the forefront because hell he would admit it he liked Rory a lot and he considered her his Mary and there wasn't a chance in hell he was going to let Stock Boy get away with doing this to her.

Just as he opened his mouth to say something to her the bell rang and that is when all hell broke loose as a boy walked into the classroom that didn't belong in the class or even at Chilton's and the teacher Mr. Parker looked at the boy and said "What are you doing in here? You don't belong in this class."

The boy looked at the teacher and pulled a gun out of the hoodie he was wearing and said "Sit down and shut the fuck up. I'm here for Rory."

Rory paled as she finally noticed who it was that walked into the classroom and she paled even further when a shot was fired.
