Right kind of Wrong

By faith.

Tristan sat outside on a cold bench at the Chilton grounds. He always waited there for her bus to pull up. Finally, It did.

"Rory!" he ran up to her

"Hey Evil One" she gave him a hug

"How was your weekend?"

"Eh.. it was alright, I went to the movies with Dean"

"Sounds like fun"

"It was, how was Italy?"

Tristan had to go to Italy with his father to see how their office runs there. They wanted him to stay longer, but he said he needed to get back to school when it was really "her" he wanted to get back to.

"it was boring, I missed calling you"

"Me too, but Im sure Dean loved it"

"Yeah, probably, why are you still with him again?"

"UGH! we've been over this, he may be protective, well alittle TOO protective, but I love him."

"Just checkin" he led them to their class room door and held it open

"Thank you good sir" she stepped in

"Okay class, we're going to be working on a project" Mr. Medina started as groans went all over the room

"the assignment is to find in your group of people That I will assign, to compare your lives. I dont mean Parents, favorite colors and stuff like that, I mean the more in depth stuff. You will do an oral report in class. The groups are: Justin, Lance, Abby, Tiffany, Heather, and adam. Group 2- Paris, Madelline, Louise, Tristan, Rory and Dean.

"Dean?" Tristan asked

"Oh yes, we have a new student coming soon"

Just then , Dean walked in... Rory's dean.

"Dean?" Rory asked unsure of what she saw

"Hey!" Dean came over and hugged her

"Dean, what the hell are you doing here? " Rory said.. she was mad, more than that, furious.

"My mom said that I wasnt applying myself to my studies enough and she knows about Chilton, so here I am."

"Why the hell didnt you tell me?"

"Rory, calm down, I just found out yesterday"

"You swear?"

"Yeah"

"Okay, come on, you're in my group."

"Hey cutie" mad said

"Hey" a grin came across his face as he put his arm around rory.

"Mad, this is my boyfriend Dean, Dean, this is Mad"

"How long you been together?"

"2 years" Dean said proudly

Tristan sat down next to Rory

"Hey Ror, can you help me with trig after school?"

"Sure, can you take me home?"

"Absolutely"

"and.."

"Coffee" he interrupted her

"Good boy"

"I know the drill" he sighed

The rest of the day went by okay. Rory only had 1st period with Dean. Tristan had 1st and 5th with him, athletics. The rest however, Rory and Tristan had together.

LIBRARY

Rory was sitting down reading a book when Tristan walked up

"Earth To Rory?" Tristan tried

"Huh?" she looked up

"Hey Angel"

"Hey" she smiled

"Ready?"

"Yeah, show me what you need help with"

an hour passed when Tristan and Rory worked through all the problems.

COFFEE HOUSE

"I need 2 extra large coffees, and a medium coffee"

"Oooh.. I get 2 today?"

"Yeah."

"that'll be $6.82" the cashier told him

Tristan paid and took their drinks to the table. he sat and watched rory for awhile.

"What?" Rory asked after she downed her first cup

"nothing.. its been a long day"

"Yeah, no kidding, I cant believe Dean goes to school with us"

"I know"

" You know this means we cant be seen together anymore"

"I know." he sighed

"we'll make it work- you're still my best friend.. besides lane that is..well she needs to get back from Bible camp first"

"you're always mine"

GILMORE HOUSE

"mom! Im home"

"hey babe- study date again?"

"Yeah, Tris needed help with his trig."

"Oooh. How was school?"

"Long.. Dean goes there now"

"WHAT?"

"I know.."

"Hows that going to end out with you and Tristan spending as much time as yall do together?"

"we decided we'd make it work, hes still my best friend there"

"babe, you know Deans going to make you choose sooner or later"

"What? Dean is my boyfriend, Tristan is my best friend.. end of story"

"whatever you say hon"

"Im serious mom! hes just a friend"

"so was dean all over you today?"

"yes... " she looked down

"whats wrong?"

"Its just. maybe I should break up with Dean.. I mean Im not happy as much anymore"

"Thank GOD!" Lorelai screamed

"What? I thought you loved dean, you keep saying Dean is the greatest"

"I do like him, but hes not making you happy anymore, and he needs to do that, and hes always all over you, and way overprotective"

"I dont know.. Im going to think about It for awhile."

"Your choice babe"

2 days later at chilton!!!

Rory had been doing ok with Dean being there, but he followed her around everywhere. He ate with her and always all over her, especially when Tristan was around. There were some good news.. well in part.. and some bad news. The good is that she got to get away for Dean now for Choir. The bad is that she hates to sing in public but she has to because its Satans latest "thing" of the week to make her do.

"Hey Ror" Tris said while sitting down at their lunch table

"HEY!" Rory said .. deffinately relieved it wasnt dean.

"I hear Satan made you sign up for choir"

"Yeah.. that he did"

"Well, if you need help, I did it freshman and sophomore year.."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind..but I hate to sing in public, only my moms heard me sing."

"So thats why I have never in my life heard you sing?"

"Pretty much."

"are you any good?"

"I dont know"

"only one way to find out" he wiggled his eye brows

"NO! You are my best friend.. I dont want to make a fool of myself in front of you"

"Hey Ror" Dean came behind them

"Dean!" she was surprised to hear his voice, and jumped

"Hey.. why the pissed face?"

"Satan made her join choir" Tristan informed him

"Oh." Dean said as he put his arm around Rory.. to which she rolled her eyes- she THOUGHT no one saw her....

HOME

"MOM! Im home!" she yelled

"Coming!" she screamed

Lorelai came running out of her room and down the stairs and jumped on the couch. "Im here". she announced

"okay..how many cups of coffee?"

"Only two.." she lied

"MOM..."

"okay, okay I stopped counting after 6"

" no fair, I need to catch up"

"bad day?"

"the worst"

"tell me about it?"

"Satan called me into his ugly office again"

"oooh"

"I have to do choir!"

"OH MY GOD. Rory, im so sorry, I know you must hate this"

"I do"

"You have a beautiful voice.. just try.. please? I'll come and watch you every time you have to sing in public"

""I guess" she shrugged

Rory went into her room and decided to pick out some music. Lorelai quicly came in and insisted "on my own"

"Mom.. you've seen dawsons creek way too many times" she accused

"Awww.. I know but Ive heard you sing it, its good. Just watch that video again of Joey singing it, and you can practice with it." she was like a 2 year old making things up off the top of her head

"maybe later.. for now Im going to try "the girl inside"

"From get over it?"

"yeah.. thats the one" she popped in the music

Take a look, here I am cant you see? one simple smile from you could- set me free.

so if you take a look, let your heart be your guide i'll show you love, if you take a look, at the girl inside.

"that was great!" loreali clapped

"Really?"

"Yeah.. but you REALLY should practice infrot of other people besides me"

"No No No"
