PS. edited 2 fix spacing probs & to fix Tristin
to Tristan.
The summer that had turned out so promising had quickly gone down the gutter. At the beginning it was perfect. Dean and I were together, Lane was here, my mom was in love and her and my grandparents had come to some sort of mutual agreement. By the end of the summer everything was a mess. Dean and I had broken up after I had caught him kissing another girl. I hadn't really loved him but it still hurt me. Then Lane moved away to Korea since her mom's mom was very ill and they had to take care of her. So now I was going back to Chilton, my best friend gone, my boyfriend gone, and to top it all off, I was going to have to spend another year with Paris and Tristan. I had not seen Tristan since finals, where we avoided each other. I knew he was hurt when I said I hated him, and that was a lie but I had never bothered to tell him that. Paris probably still hated me for thinking I went to the concert with Tristan. One decent thing that had come out of the summer was my grandparents had bought me a SUV. So now I stood outside the school, in the same old uniform. I took a few deep breaths and then got out of the car. I walked into the school, totally unaware of everyone else, and made my way to my locker. I threw some of my extra junk in it and slammed it shut. Unfortunately my first class was with Mr. Medina, so I had to face him. I knew he was heartbroken when my mom said no to him. I had wanted just to avoid him the entire year but I got stuck in his class again. I walked into the class, which was already half full, with everyone having huge smiles on their faces, chatting loudly. I took a seat near the window in the very back row, hoping to somewhat hide from Max, I mean Mr. Medina. The bell rang and everyone sat down. Madeleine sat in front of me, but didn't say anything other then hi to me. "Welcome back to Chilton! For those of you who did not have me
last year I am Mr. Medina and this is English."
"Well hello, Mr. Dugrey. How wonderful of you to grace us with your presence. Late on the first day is always a good sign. Take a seat, and of course be here after school for detention." "Whatever" he mumbled, making his way down the aisle. He sat down
next to Madeleine, with his legs stretched out in the aisle. He didn't
even bother to take out his notebook; he just stared blankly ahead.
I wrote him a note and when Mr. Medina wrote something on the board I tossed
it onto his desk. I watched him open it and he just crumbled it back
up. I was going to write another but just left it. He obviously
didn't want to hear from me. I turned my attention back to Mr. Medina
but found it harder to concentrate. Tristan started invading my thoughts.
"Hi!" she said cheerfully. "Hi." "So you're Rory right?" "Yep."
"Good. I'm just the worst with names. I'm surprised I remembered
yours. Who do you hang out with here? I
"I don't hang out with people here." "Oh you can't be serious!" "I hung out briefly with Paris, Madeleine and Louise but now they hate me." "Ouch. That's not a huge loss though." I had to laugh at that comment. "Didn't you hang with Tristan? Weren't you the girl that he had the biggest crush on?" I blushed and said "I sometimes did but he hates me now. The crush part I don't know." "He's changed so much! Something happened during the summer.
He just like lost interest in everything. Won't
"I wondered why he's acting different." "No one knows what exactly happened to him, but he's gone total slacker." I was about to fish for some more details but the teacher interrupted
me. Unlike Mr. Medina we charged right into the work, and quickly
I had taken a few pages of notes. She ended the class off with a
paired assignment. Amy asked me to be her partner and I agreed.
She also asked if I wanted to sit with her and her friends during lunch,
which I just said maybe. It would be nice to have someone to talk
to at the school but I also enjoyed my privacy.
The bell rang and I quickly left. I threw my books into my locker and grabbed my usual handy book, which was Pride and Prejudice, which is one of my favourites. I went to the cafeteria and got in line for food. I gave them my lunch ticket and got a tray. The food was halfway decent here, and I had something that resembled a burger, with jello, an apple and coffee. I saw Amy, who was waving me over, so I decided to sit with her. "Hey Rory!" she said, scooting over so I could sit next to her. "Hey." "Do you know everyone here?" she asked. "Some" I said looking around the table, some had been in a few of my classes. "Okay well that's Jen, Krista, Carla, Melanie and then that's Andrew, Mark, Will, and Karl." Everyone said hi or nodded to me. "We're just discussing our good or bad classes so far" Jen told me. "I'm so glad I got Mr. Medina! He's the best teacher!" Melanie said. "And he's not too bad on the eyes" Krista added. "Oh god, not the hotness of teachers again" Mark moaned. I had to laugh at that. "Who do you have Rory?" Carla asked. "Medina, Dawnes, Black and after lunch I have Raynes and Mclean." "You got lucky!" Andrew told me. "Depends…some are decent" Krista argued. We debated over teachers for most of lunch, and they were all decent people. They were a little more superficial then other people I prefer to hang out with but all of them had interesting things about them. Krista was apparently an amazing singer who loves oldies and mixing types of music. We talked about music for a bit, since most of our faves were the same. Melanie LOVES clothes, and whenever we got into something she had to know what they were wearing, which I don't usually like but she had showed me some sketches and the clothes were really nice. "I got to do a couple things before class" I said getting up. "I'll see you next period" Amy and Mark said before turning back to
the conversation. I dumped my tray and left the cafeteria.
I went to the bathroom then to my locker. As I went up the stairs
to the second floor I saw Tristan and his friends hanging outside.
They were surrounded by a cloud of smoke. I continued up the stairs
to my locker and grabbed my books. When I went back down the stairs
I stopped again at the window, staring out at Tristan. He looked
so comfortable, so at ease, I actually envied him. I mean I'm always
so stressed over grades and worried, but he looked like he didn't have
a care in the world. I saw him start to look up so I quickly hurried
down the stairs and to my class
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Part 2~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I had that feeling I was being watched. I looked up at the school and saw Rory Gilmore's face for a split second, then it disappeared. It still hurt to see her. That day in the courtyard when she said "I hate him" referring to me, broke my heart. I actually thought she was returning the feelings I had for her, but it was the opposite. Over the summer, I stopped caring about anything and everything. I started hanging out with the people I used to call the slackers. I spent most of my time just chilling, and relaxing. I'd gone out with a string of girls over the summer, but each one came no where near to Rory. I had decided this year to be cold to her. She had hurt me and I didn't want that to happen again. When she tossed that note to me saying she was sorry for what she said I didn't care. "Tristan? You wanna smoke?" Charlie asked. "Yeah" I said grabbing the smoke from him, and taking a long drag.
I pushed Rory to the back of my mind. She
"Oh, Kristin's having a big blow out Friday. We going or what?" Brad asked. "I'm in" I said, wanting to go anywhere. "Same" Charlie, Chad, Rachel and Sue all said. I knew Rory wouldn't go. She was never into any part of the party scene, hardcore or not. "Tris? You going to your next class?" Rachel asked, coming over and sitting next to me on the ledge. "I probably should, it's the first day and all. My parents are already on my butt for slacking everywhere else." "Do you really care what your parents think?" "Not really, except for the fact that they control my trust fund." "Well would one class hurt? I thought we could have some fun…" she said with a twinkle in her eye. "Tomorrow, k?" I said. "Whatever" she said, hopping down and going to talk with Charlie. Rachel looks for fun wherever she can get it, which can come in handy many times. The bell rang and I lazily got up to head into the school. Most
of us were going to class, but Rachel and Charlie were busy making out.
I walked into the school and headed to my class. I hated this school,
I hated being here, but luckily my smarts come pretty natural so I can
pretty much float through this year. The less I think the better.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Part 3 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~~* I walked into the house, alone. I was filled with energy having stopped off at Luke's for coffee. I knew my mom was at work so I started on my homework right away. I got onto my computer and logged into my school account. Chilton went even more high tech this year, creating a virtual web site. Each student had their own account with all the information they would need. You could check out the class board, where homework was posted every day to help you if you missed a day. You could check out the library online for references. Their was also an email account, chat room, and Instant messaging. It was neat since you could find people to help you when you got stuck. Halfway through my Shakespeare homework I got an instant message from ~JA*m*yJ~saying hey. *~*rOrY*~: Hey! ~JA*m*yJ~: doing hwk? *~*rOrY*~: yep L ~JA*m*yJ~: when do u wanna get together for chem.? *~*rOrY*~: weekend? Isn't it due mon? ~JA*m*yJ~: how about fri after school? Then we can go to the party *~*rOrY*~: party? ~JA*m*yJ~: yah @ kristin's. u HAVE to come…I'll shoot u if you don't *~*rOrY*~: what an invitation! How can I turn that one down?? ~JA*m*yJ~: u cant J that's the point *~*rOrY*~: ill go if tomorrow sometime we split up some of the chem.
work and then on fri we put it all
~JA*m*yJ~: deal *shake* *~*rOrY*~: *shake* *~*rOrY*~: I g2g and get working again…ill c u tomorrow ~JA*m*yJ~: bye! Have fun!! I wasn't totally sure about the party but it might be fun. I need to get out more since my social life has gone down the tubes. I finished my homework off quickly and just as I finished the phone rang. "Hello?" "Is this the house of the insane?" "Hi mom." "I'll take that as a yes." "Yes." "I need coffee!" "Luke's?" "10?" she asked, meaning in 10 minutes. "Sure." "Grab some money, I wasted mine." "On…?" "You don't wanna know." "Gotcha." I hung up the phone and went to my room to change out of my uniform. I grabbed money from my mom's room and walked to Luke's. I loved walking through the town. It was so small and quaint. I ran into Miss Patty who quizzed me on my first day. I passed Doose's Market, and I refused to look in. I hurried into Luke's and went right up to the counter. "Hey Rory" Luke said. "Coffee…" "No." "Why?" "Because you've had to much." "I haven't even been here today!" "Fine" he said pouring me a cup. My mom came running in through the door and grabbed my cup of coffee and quickly chugged it. "Okay you better have a REALLY good reason to be stealing my coffee like that…" I warned. "I do!" she said, smiling all of a sudden. "And it would be…?" "I was dying of thirst and I needed to have something or I would pass out." "Try again." "I needed energy to tell you something." "Again…" "Fine, I was having a coffee lacking feeling." "Better. Luke can I get another one?" "What happened to the one I just poured?" I pointed to my mom who was trying to drain the last couple drips out of the mug. He poured me one without question. "Bad day?" I asked her. "Yes. Michel went crazy on some guests, it was like hell day with guests AND your grandmother called me, to remind me of our wonderful dinner this Friday." "Uh oh." "What?" "I can't go on Friday. I made plans to do an assignment and then there's a party." "No! Leaving me alone with your grandparents for a whole night?? That's like signing my death sentence!'" "You'll live. I have to do the homework though." "Whatever, that's just your excuse." We had supper with my mom and Luke flirting as usual. I wish they would just go out already, its getting annoying knowing that they both like one another but do nothing about it. "Mom ask Luke out" I said bluntly on the way home. "WHAT?" "He likes you, you like him. Its simple." "Rory! I do not need your advice on my love life!" "Well you need it." "No I don't!" "Yes you do. You dumped Max, and you need to move on with your life." "It's not that simple!" "Yes it is" "No" "Yes" We argued on like that till we got home. "I'm going to read" I said. "Fine." The rest of the week went on well at school, bad at home. My mom
and I were arguing over every little thing. At school I became pretty
good friends with Amy and all her friends. I couldn't help myself
from sneaking looks at Tristan, but he ignored me. I actually missed
his teasing in a way. By the end of the week I was glad to be going
to the party. I needed some mindless fun for awhile.
Part 4 I pulled into Amy's driveway after following her home after school. "Nice place!" I said. "Yeah I guess so. Its not that great. Come on! Lets get
to work so we can get ready for the party!" she said,
I barely got to look at the surroundings before I was dragged up the stairs and into her room. Her room was not what I expected. It was done all in green, and was very neat. She threw her stuff on the bed and then I followed her into the corner. "Okay this is my study area" she said pointing at the pillows on the floor and the desk covered in everything but work. "Interesting…" "What? It keeps me from working." "Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?" "Meh…I don't really care." "Okay lets get started…" It took us about an hour and a half to put our parts together. I was supposed to put the final touches on it when I got home. "Now onto party clothes!" she said with a glazed over look in her eyes. "Oh no!" "It's not that bad! I promise." "It better not be." "Melanie's coming over once I call her, to help us." "Okay, call her." Amy whipped out a phone from her desk and was on it in a matter of seconds. "Hey Mel…we're done…get over here…yeah…just get here…bring it…bye!" "That was quick." "When it comes to Mel and clothes I have to be quick or else I'll be on the phone for a couple hours." "I only brought a few things…they're in my car." "Don't worry. You're about my size, so we'll just find something in my closet. Lets start looking!" She hit a button on the wall and a part of the wall slid open. "Okay that's just cool" I said. She let me go in first and I was just amazed. The place was the
size of my room. All around the walls were racks
I just looked at Amy with an amazed look. "What? I like to shop. That's not a bad thing!" "No its not. Just if you're OBSESSIVE!" "I'm not that bad! You should see Mel's! Now that is a closet!" "It's probably the size of your bedroom right?" "Yeah somewhere around there. Just look around and see if anything catches your eye." I glanced around and was overwhelmed. "You really want me to pick one thing?" "Or Mel and I could make you over!" she said, getting all excited. "I don't know…depends on where you are going to go with it." "Oh we'll go nice and simple. Your normal style, just more relaxed." "I guess so." She started jumping up and down. "I'M HERE!!" a voice rang in from the bedroom. "Closet!" Amy yelled back. That reminded me of Lane and mine locator game in her antique shop. Melanie appeared at the doorway carrying a little train case. "What's in there?" I asked. "Makeup." "She said yes" Amy said. "Oh no…you two had this planned?" I moaned. Both of them nodded. "Okay you go and sit on the bed and we'll be out in like 5 minutes" Melanie told me. "How come I have a bad feeling…" "Don't worry! We won't turn you into the Chilton slut!" Amy called out as I left. "Oh that made me feel SO much better" I said sarcastically. I jumped onto the bed and just waited. I could hear them giggling and finally they emerged. "We have the PERFECT outfit!" "You are going to love it" Amy added. "Show." They held up a black tank top with red roses on it, a black mini skirt and red fish net things. "What are the net things for?" "Your arms…" "No way." "Trust me, it'll look awesome!" Melanie promised. "At least try it on." I grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom to change. I took my time, adjusting it so that it wasn't too risqué. I finally looked into the mirror, and it looked good. "Hurry up!" Melanie whined. "Chill, I'm coming" I said opening the door. When I walked out, both of them had changed already. Amy was wearing a blue Hawaiian dress and Melanie had on a purple print t-shirt with black flares. "YES! It looks great!" Amy said. "You are so not changing" Melanie added. "Well can I get some shoes though?" I joked. Amy tossed me a pair of black, chunky platforms which I slipped on. "Now onto makeup!" Amy said. After another hour we were all ready to go. "I have to take my car since I have to make sure I get home" I said. "Here we'll all just go with you. I'm sure we can get someone to give us a ride" Amy said. We climbed into the car and Melanie and Amy argued over the directions to the house. Finally we pulled into the driveway, which was already filled with cars. "Looks like the place is packed already" I said. "Oh that's only the beginning…when no parents is mentioned the whole school shows up" Melanie told me as we made our way to the open front door. Once we got inside we found Andrew, Mark and Krista hanging out. We danced for a bit in a big group but then I got thirsty. When I went to the table I asked for a coke. The guy handed me it. I was dying of thirst so I chugged it pretty quickly. It didn't taste quite like a coke but it didn't matter. I got another and sipped it while making my way back to the group. I saw Tristin, hanging out in a room with a bunch of couches. Again a cloud of smoke surrounded them. I thought of the last time I was at a Chilton party and I had ended up kissing him. All of a sudden someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned and saw Andrew. "Oh, you scared me!" "Sorry. I was sent to make sure you didn't get lost." "Nope just thinking." "Parties aren't exactly for thinking." "I know." "Wanna dance?" he asked as a slow song came on. I put my drink down and he led me onto the dance floor. While dancing I felt a bit dizzy but ignored it. It felt nice to be in strong arms again. Andrew reminded me a bit of Dean, with dark brown hair and eyes but Andrew was more prep look then laid back. He was entertaining though and he even made me laugh when we were dancing. When the song ended I went and got another drink and I made my way with Andrew back to everyone else. "Having fun?" Krista asked. "Yeah its decent" I said. "Only decent? A Chilton party is just decent?" "Well its only been on for a couple hours…" I joked. "Good answer." "Besides she's only danced with Andrew, that would make any party go
downhill" Mark joked, elbowing
"Ouch! That one had to hurt" Krista said. "I'm going to go and sit down for a minute" I said walking into one
of the sitting room areas. I sat down in one of
"Well look who's here…" a sing song voice came from behind me. "Yeah I'm here. You can celebrate, I won't tell anyone" I said looking up at Paris, Madeleine and Louise. "Your mom telling you to be here again?" I asked to a cold faced Paris. She didn't bother to respond but Louise just said "How'd you get in?" "I came with some people." "Sure you did. And I can see them right now" Paris joked. "So do you have something worthwhile to say or are you just here to try and bug me?" "Where's your boy?" Madeleine asked. "He's not my boy anymore." "Oh, too bad. Can I get his number" Louise asked before Paris elbowed her. "You can have Tristan now. He's turned into such a slacker" Paris said rudely. "Yeah like you ever had him" I said standing up. I wobbled a bit but just walked outside. The air felt nice. I took a deep breath and walked to the ledge. The garden was gorgeous looking, and you could see it all. I looked around and saw Tristan, all alone. Some courage in me, made my legs walk over to him. He just looked up, and into my eyes, not saying or doing anything. "I don't hate you, you know" I said. Still no move by him. "Why are you doing this? Are you trying to get back at someone? You are so smart, so why would you waste it?" "Rory, you just don't get it" he said, standing fully up, and walking away. He still towered over me. "What don't I get" I said walking after him. "Everything" he said, still walking I stumbled and fell onto a lawn chair. He turned around and just glared at me. "At least I have some grace I said," trying to stand up, but I still stumbled, landing back on the chair. "You fine?" he asked, very disinterested. "Yes I'm just peachy" I said, trying again to stand up. This time I did, but I wobbled a lot. "You don't look peachy…you look a nice shade of purple right now…" he said. A wave of nausea swept over me and I leaned over the rail, gagging. I felt a hand sweep my hair back but pretty much ignored it. After a few minutes I felt better and turned around. Tristan was standing next to me. "You okay?" he asked simply. "I hope so." "Have a little too much to drink?" "What?" "Alcohol. That's usually the cause of the uneasy walking and the barfing over the balcony." "All I had was coke…" "Stay here…" he said. "No. I need to get home…" "Fine then, follow me and we'll find your ride. Can you walk?" "Yes I can walk" I said stubbornly. I followed him inside, although he had to steady me a couple times. I paid barely any attention to the people or what was around me. All I concentrated on was Tristan's back. He stopped and I heard him ask for a coke. "I don't need another coke…" I muttered. "I know you don't" he said taking one from the guy behind the bar.
I watched him sip it. He muttered something
"Tristan…" I muttered before everything went black. TRISTaN'S POV: I sipped the drink and immidiatly tasted the rum in it. "God how could she have not noticed it" I said. I started to turn around when I heard her mutter something and I saw her fall to the ground. I immediately checked on her, and she was breathing. She must of just passed out. I lifted her off the ground and carried her. I knew she hung out with Amy so I walked around trying to find her. "Tristan, man why you carrying that chick around?" Charlie asked, walking up with his arm around a girl we sometimes hung around with, Sam. "You coming to Racheal's?" "Probably." "You know she wants you to come…" "Yeah, I gotta take care of this first." "Yeah, see you there" he said walking away, slapping my back. I continued looking for Amy but never saw her. The only option I could think of was to take her to my place. I don't know where she lives. I carried her outside and put her in the passenger seat. She opened her eyes so I just told her to go to sleep. She dozed back off. I climbed into the front door and drove off. I figured I would just find her number in the phone book. My house was just down the street from Kristin, so it only took a couple minutes to get to my place. Just sitting there in the car, I looked at her. It hurt to look at her, yet at the same time I had to do it. She had hurt me so bad but I still had such strong feelings for her. She looked so angelic lying there. I finally got out and opened her door. "Rory! Rory! Wake up! Hello…rory…earth to Rory" I said to her, lightly tapping her on the face. She moaned and turned her head towards me, and opened her eyes. "Where am I?" "My house." "What?…Why?…Where's my car?" "Fuck! You have a car?" She nodded. "I'll get it picked up. Pass me your purse." She slowly slipped it over her head and passed it to me. I shoved things like a big book around and finally found her keys. I ran them into the butler, so he and someone else could run and get the car. As I walked back to the car I actually felt my old nerves coming back, from whenever I was around her last year. I tried to shake them off but couldn't. When I got to the car she was just staring into space. "Rory?" I said softly. All I got in response was a half mumble. I could tell she was exhausted so I lifted her out of the car and took her inside. My parents were out at some function and would probably stumble in around dawn. I took her up the stairs and laid her on my bed. She immediately hugged the pillows. I threw myself down on the couch next to my bed. I still had her purse, so I looked through it for her phone. I found it and quickly scrolled through the memory list. I saw that stupid boyfriend of hers name on the list and anger started to come over me, but I knew I had to call her mom or she would probably freak out. I finally found it and hit the Talk button. They must have caller ID because she answered "Hey coffee princess…you missed out on an interesting dinner tonight." "Sorry, but I'm not the coffee princes, I'm…" "Dead meat! Who are you and why do you have my daughters cell phone? Where is she?" "Calm down Mrs. Gilmore, my names Tristan Dug…" "Evil one…continue." "What?" "Just continue!!" "Um, we were at a party and Rory was slipped a lot of rum in her coke and she passed out." "WHAT!?!?!?!?" she screamed, and I had to hold the phone away from my ear. "She's at my house sleeping. I would have taken her home
but one, she has her car, two, I don't know where
There was a long silence, but I didn't risk saying anything. I've dealt with some of my old girlfriends freaked out mothers, and knew even the slightest thing would set them off. "Fine, then. She can stay there tonight. You do ONE THING TO HER and…" "I'll be killed, rot in hell, never see another living thing…etc.etc. Did I miss anything?" "Smart kid. And yes you did. The fact that you will be hunted
down by everyone I know and will have to suffer
"Don't worry Mrs. Gilmore…" "Call me Miss Gilmore." "Fine." "I'm going to go now, but you've been warned! Tell Rory to call
me in the morning!! FI she doesn't, I will kill
"Bye" I said, happy to get off the phone with her. I slid the phone back into the purse. My phone rang, and I quickly grabbed it, not wanting it to wake Rory up. "Sup?…" I said. "Man, where are you?" I heard Charlie say. "Got tied up." "You are missing a killer after party! Get your butt over here. The ladies are missing you." "Got stuff to do." "What stuff?" "I got a girl here" I said, knowing that would chill him out. "Ah, understood. Far yet?" "Not yet. It makes it even harder when I'm on the phone with you." "Sorry to ruin it. See you tomorrow then?" "Yeah. We hanging at…?" "Chris's. Guys only." "Gotcha." "I'll leave you to your lady…hey is it that chick you were carrying at the party?" "Bye Charlie" I said clicking the phone off. I made the couch somewhat sleep-able and tried to get to sleep. I loved and hated the fact that she was there. I had spent the first part of the summer forgetting about her, and now she was back. Well she wasn't going to affect me. Tomorrow she would wake up, leave and from then on the only time I'll see her is in class or just in passing. Rory Gilmore means nothing to me…at least that's what I need to think. Part 5: The Morning After Rory's POV: I woke up with my head aching. As my mind started to work I realized I wasn't in my bed. The sheets were blue. I sat up in a hurry and saw Tristan lying down on the couch near the bed. "Oh god! What did I do last night?" I thought. I tried to remember, but all I really remembered was dancing with Andrew, and trying to talk to Tristan on the balcony. I couldn't remember anything after that. I looked down, and I still had all my clothes on, and they were just they way they were before, except wrinkled. "TRISTAN!" I yelled at him. He sat right up and looked over at me, blinking wildly. "What the fuck?" he said. "Why am I here?" "Give me a minute…" "I WANT TO KNOW NOW!" "Chill out." "I will not chill out! Why am I in your bed?" "You wanted to be" he said with a smirking smile. I threw a pillow at him. "No. The coke you were drinking last night had rum in it. You passed out, I didn't know where you lived so here you are. Oh, call your mom." "My mom knows I'm here!?!" I exclaimed, shocked. Knowing her she would have ordered me home. "Yes. I called her." I jumped off the bed and grabbed my purse. I sat back down on the bed and quickly dialled my mom. "Rory???" "Hi mom." "Are you okay? What happened?" "I'm fine, I think. My head just really hurts. I don't really know what happened. I barely remember anything from last night." "I swear, I'm going to kill whoever did this…" "I'm already planning on it." "Well just come home." "Yeah I'll leave right now…oh crap! My cars still at Kristins!" "No its not, I got someone to bring it here last night" Tristan interrupted. "Never mind. I'll be there soon." "Love you." "Love you too." I hung the phone up and threw it in my purse. I rummaged around for the keys but didn't find them. "Keys?" I asked, looking up at him. "In the car." "Thanks" I said walking out. "Think you can find the way out?" he asked. "I'm not stupid." "Fine, get lost on your own then…" "I will" I said leaving the room. I turned around and poked my head back into he room. "Hey Tristan?" "Get lost already?" he asked without even turning around. "Nope. Um, why'd you help me?" "I just did" he said coldly. "Did I do something?" "Just leave Mary." That shocked me. I left the room and quickly hurried out of the house. I got into the car and drove away, wondering what I had done to him. Hour later (Rory and her mom already had talked and were happy) I sat down at my computer and logged onto Chilton. You have 3 new emails. I clicked on it and up popped an email from Amy. OMG RORY!! What happened to you? You just like disappeared at
the party! Email me or call me when you get this!! I looked in the
lot for your car but didn't see it!!! I hope you are okay, cuz some1 said
they saw u with Tristan on the balcony. Plz call or email!!!
I hit the reply button and sent her a short and sweet email. The other messages were from Krista and Andrew, both, which basically said the same things that Amy had asked. I wrote them short and quick responses, then got on with my homework. Tristan still was in the back of my mind, but I didn't let it come forward. Later That Night: "Come on Rory!!" "No." "Please?" "No." "With a cherry on top?" "I don't even like cherries…" "YES YOU DO!!" "Fine." "You lied & cheated! Therefore you must come!" "If you make me come its labour!" "No its not. I'm your mother, giving you orders. You must
come to Luke's and get supper. What are you going
"We have something in here…" "No we don't and you know it." I knew that was true but didn't want to give in. "HA! Gotcha!! You gotta come!" my mom said, grabbing my arm, and literally
dragging me out of my room and
"Can I at least put shoes on first please?" "Fine…but you have to hurry…only 20 seconds." I grabbed a pair of sneakers and slipped them onto my feet right before my mom dragged me outside the house. "What's the hurry?" I asked. "There's no hurry" she lied. "Yes there is… you cant hid it so just tell me now, and save us both the trouble." "Fine. Sookie found out that Luke was thinking of asking me out tonight and I haven't really had a chance to go by there today…" "So you thought it would look normal if you took me there for supper…" She nodded. "Well, I'll go just slow down!" I said as she was quickly getting ahead of me. "Can't!" "Your in love" I said and she stopped dead in her tracks. "What?" "Your in love" I said. She just got a silly look on her face, and continued walking Part 6: I just saw "Run Away Little Boy" where Tristan leaves for military
school. I decided I'd mix this in with the story since some of the
things in that ep were going to somewhat be in this story. Part of
this part is copied from the show, the last scene with Rory and Tristin.
Tristan had avoided me every time I tried to talk to him, or get near
him in the past week and a half. He was in and out of class, getting
suspended for getting caught doing the stupid things. His friend,
Charlie was his partner in crime, along with a girl I have never met, Rachael.
Those 3 and a few other people, the slackers, had brought their trouble
making up a notch lately, and they were barely seen in a classroom.
"Rory! You in there?" Amy asked me before the first bell. "I think I'm in here somewhere…" I joked. "Good. Cause I need help!!" "Andrew?" I asked. Amy had asked Andrew out, knowing I didn't like him, and they had been going out since the party a month ago. "Yeah." "What's the problem this time?" "Okay, he wants to go…farther with me…and I'm not sure I want to, but I don't want him to think I don't care or something like that." "This again?" "Yes!! This again…" "Okay, simply tell him how you feel, and end it with something like "maybe someday" That should hold him off a bit." "That's what Jen said…" "Then it must be what you should say!" "I hate being out voted on this one?" "Oh yeah and your first plan of slapping him, and then making out with him, made SO much more sense?" "It did!!" "Well, we can debate this later. I got to get to my locker before first." "Bye" she said, walking in the opposite direction, practically skipping. I had to laugh at that. Lately I've distanced myself a bit from everyone else in the group, but Amy won't let me. I walked down the hall and found Tristan, who was wearing a non-chilton uniform, taking stuff out of his locker and into a box. I decided I'd try and see what he was up to now. "Why are you packing up?" I asked, leaning on the locker next to his. He stood up fully and glared at me. "Shipped off." "What? Why?" "Got into trouble." "Doing what?" "With Rachael and Charlie and Charlie's grandfathers safe…" "Ohh" I said, shocked. "Charlie had a key, it should have taken no time, but there was a hidden alarm…" "You broke into Charlie's grandfathers safe?? Are you crazy?" He just shrugged. "So what's happening to you now?" "Getting shipped to a military school in North Carolina" he said looking depressed. "And you can't do anything?" "Nope. Cops said our parents make the decision. They said if I do well I MIGHT get back here next year…" "Why would you do this?" "I don't know. I just did." The bell rang and the halls quickly emptied but I stood there. "I gotta go" he said picking up the box. "Bye" I said meekly, still surprised. He started to walk down the hall, but then turned. "Take care of yourself…Mary" he said, with that half-smirk of his. I couldn't help but give him a half smile back. He then turned
and walked down the hall. I stood there for a minute, until I saw
a teacher walk down the hall. I couldn't believe Tristan did something
that stupid. He has
I hurried into my English class, with a glaring from Mr. Medina. He
gave me a detention, but I was barely listening. I know I haven't
talked to Tristan like at all, but still, just seeing his empty seat, ran
a number of emotions through me. Even Dean never gave me so many
mixed emotions at once. I actually think I'm going to miss him.
I never really did thank him for that one night. If only he hadn't
become such a burnout…things might have been different now.
"Oh my god!! Did you hear about Tristan?" Amy asked once I sat down. I just nodded my head, afraid if I said anything she'd see right through it. "I can't believe they did that!" She rambled on a bit, and I inputed the usual yeah, every so often but my mind was somewhere else…it was somewhere far away, with Tristan Tristan's POV…his journal (or venting) I could have killed my parents for sending me to military school. What would it do that Chilton didn't? I'm on the plane, heading down to NC, unfortunately. But I was pretty stupid to believe we could have pulled off the stealing. I just didn't think the cops would come. Charlie and Rachael are getting off relatively light, which makes it worse since it was their idea. Now I was leaving everything. That last minute with her reminded me a bit about how I USED to feel about her. That's in the past though. I don't care about her anymore…the past is the past, and the future is, well, its in NC. Part 7: The Trip NOTES: Jess is alive!!!! He lives with Luke, and has pulled pranks all of Stars Hollow. Rory and him are sort of friends, since Luke and Lorelei have started to get closer. NOT FULLY DATING YET!!(im not wasting time doing the whole they are about to/they aren't thing with them) Beginning of December… Friday @ grandparents for dinner… "So, Rory how was school this week?" my grandmother asked. "It was fine." "You ready for finals?" "They aren't till January" my mom interrupted. "It never hurts to be prepared." "Well why should she crowd her head with information now when she's just going to learn more boring info…" "I'm not going to argue with you tonight Lorelei. Once Richard gets off the phone I have some very good news for you two…" "Good from your point of view, or good from my point of view?" my mom asked. "I think both." "What is it grandma?" I asked before my mom could say something. "Just wait a little longer." "Come on…you gotta tell us, or I'll keep bugging you, and you'll go crazy and pass out, and then we'll never find out because you'll be in the hospital unable to talk and dad will be so striken with grief he can't tell us, so no one wins" my mom said. "That would not happen Lorelei…" "But it could…you can't prove it wont…" "If I had the time and the patience, I would." "But you don't so I'm right and you should tell us" my mom said, happy she won. Just then my grandfather came into the room. "It doesn't matter now, your fathers here. You just wasted all that time arguing for nothing…" "Just tell us…please?" "Tell them what Emily?" my grandfather asked, sitting down. "Richard!! How can you not remember? I told you less then 2 hours ago…" "Oh! That news…" "Yes that news…" "Care to tell the rest of us what that news is…" my mom interrupted. "You've waited long enough…"my grandma started before my mom interrpted saying "Yes we have." "Do you want to know or not?" "I want to know." "Then be good." I tried not to laugh at how immature my mom was acting. "I was about to say that your father and I have booked us four on a Caribbean cruise for the week of Christmas." "No way!!" I screamed. I jumped out of my chair and hugged them both while my mom just sat there. "Mom aren't you happy?" I asked. "I promised Luke that we would do all the Christmas stuff with Jess and him, since its their first Christmas together…" "Doesn't Jess want to go see his mom?" my grandfather asked. "She can't afford to get him the ticket there and back, plus she says
it will undo all the good that Luke has done to
"Well, they can just come to…" my grandma said simply. All three of us said "What!?!?!" "Its only two more tickets…and we really want this to be a family thing.
You guys consider Luke family so he's
Both my mom and myself were shocked that she was being so easy going about this. "Why are you doing this?" my mom came right out and asked. "I thought it would be nice for a change. Besides a few families from around here are going as well." "AHHA!!" my mom said. "Ah ha what?" "I knew their had to be some motive behind this…" "What motive? Is it a crime to want to spend a week with my daughter and granddaughter?" "When its coming from you it is…" "Fine Lorelei, this entire trip is an evil plan. Just come okay?
I'll have Richards secretary type up all the
"What I need to know?" "What kind of clothes to bring, what not to bring…" "Why such a care in what we look like?" "Just because." "Because why?" "Lorelei!" "Emily!" I had to hold back my giggles. "Just bring a few nice, decent things, please?" "Fine, I'll see if I have something in my 'old gifts, shoved in the corner, never going to wear' portion of my closet." "Yes, probably next to your 'wear just to annoy my dear mother' part." "Nope. That part is on the OTHER side of the closet."
