: RING RING RING: Rory rolled over to hit her alarm clock.
"God, the summer is over all ready!" she wasn't ready for her junior year. She got up and threw on her uniform.
"Same thing everyday!" She walked into the kitchen to see coffee all ready made and a note.
Hey kid-
Good luck! Looks like the first day of hell. You're a strong kid, you can do this!
Love you!
Mom
She poured some coffee in a mug and went to her car. Emily wouldn't take no for an answer and bought Rory a for mustang convertible.
There safe and cool! Rory remembered what her grandmother had said. Thinking of Emily even saying 'cool' always made her smile. She threw her bag in and drove off. She dreaded seeing Paris, Tristan, and every one else. She and dean were happy, for a while. And then the shit hit the fan. Rory found out the he had been cheating on her. She dumped a thing of OJ over his head and yelled. Luke threw him, literally, out of the dinner. She was getting over it though.
"May be there will be some new kids.... I could make friends..." she gave herself a quick pep talk before pulling into the Chilton parking lot. Her grandmother had made sure she had a 'good' parking spot. In the front. Which is where the rich kids park. The richer you are the closer to the door your car sat. She pulled up, her grand mother talked to the dean and Rory was 5th spot! She laughed to her self as she pulled up.
I should be 234th! Two more years! She got out and leaned over the side to grabbed her stuff. She began to walk to the door when a guy on a motorcycle cut her off.
"No, that's fine. KILL ME!" she yelled and began to walk again.
"Hey!" She turned around. The guy took of his helmet. She hadn't seen him before. And he was too old to be a freshman.
"Yea."
"Where is spot 6?"
"Right before 5! If you hit 7 you went to far!" she turned around again.
"GILMORE?" Rory froze and then turned slowly.
"How do you know me?"
"I know a lot more then you think..."
"Right.... How do you know me?"
"Time... only time will tell...."
"Ok, oh wise one!"
"Wait up." He pulled in and grabs his bag.
"What?"
"Walk me to my class?"
"Isn't the guy the one who does that for the girl?"
"Fine, can I walk you to YOUR class?"
"Do you know where the hell your even going?"
"I been here before..."
"Fine, who are you. And how do you know my name?"
"Walk?"
"Only if I get an answer..."
"Fine, one..." He began to walk. Rory didn't get it. She had never seen him before, but he knew her...
"So...."
"I'm Jason."
"O...K.... Jason... how do you know me..."
"Ahh, I said one answer. You asked who I was and I answer."
There was something charming about him. "Fine, and how do I find out more?"
"Every time you let me walk you to a class you get an answer."
"What do you want from me?"
"Ahh Ahh Ahh... You will find that out next passing period."
"I got home room with baker. What about you?"
"Baker..." They turned into the room. Tristan sat there with his usual harem surrounding him. He eyes caught Rory, but a moment later they caught the guy talking to her.
Who's this punk? He stood up.
"Rory...."
"Ugh... Tristan...."
"Hey, who's your friend?"
"Not that it is any of your business, but his name is Jason..."
"Jason, as in Jason Hunter?"
"One and only..." He walked right past him into a seat next to Rory.
"This seat is taken..." Tristan stood in front of the desk.
"Yea... by me..."
"Good morning class! Would every one take a seat?" He walked to his desk. "Mr. Du Gray! Now please." There was one last glare and then Tristan took a seat.
The bell rang and Tristan was off.
I'm going to find out more about this kid...
"So, I get one more answer? WAIT! I know your kinda, if you would have said yes, that would be an answer."
He smiled, she was fast.
"How did you know my name?"
"I knew you a long time ago..."
"Huh?"
"Fine you can have two answers. My parents knew your grandparents. We meet as children..."
"O...K..."
"Passing period...."
"Fine, what's your next class?"
"What's yours?"
"History with Carlson."
"Me too."
"Are you just going to come to all my classes?"
"I get to pick my classes."
~*~ Tristan ~*~
"So what do you know about this guy?" he asked
"Not much, but I'll find out..."
"Good..."
TBC
So is this guy going to be a good boy or a bad boy? Which do you want? E-mail me!
The period ended and Rory and Jason were off yet again. Tristan was behind them when Jack cut him off.
"Hey, I found out more about your boy..."
"What's?"
"5 schools last year."
"Army Brat?"
"Nope, kick out off all five!"
"For what?!?!"
"Most of it was violence..."
"Thanks.... Any more info you get?"
"Straight to you..."
They slapped hands and Tristan was off.
~*~ Rory and Jason ~*~
" What do you want from me?"
"Is that your question?"
"Yes."
"I want some one to talk to, a friend type person...."
"Friend type?" She rose on eyebrow.
"Passing period my dear..."
She smiled. This guy is so.... Arrogant and sweet at the same time. He reminds me off.... Oh god. Don't do this Rory. But he does. This boy is Tristan and Dean mixed! She looked up at him.
"What?" He looked at her questionably.
"Nothing... Lunch?"
"Yea, is the food crap?"
"It's decent. We do wonder why more of our money can't go to the food."
"We should do something about it..."
"Yea..."
"Well, who is the most popular person at this school?"
"Ugh..."
"What?"
"Tristan Du Gray...."
"That jerks from home room?"
"One and Only!"
"He likes you...."
"No!"
"Yes..."
"Ok, Why did we bring Tristan in to this conversation?"
"Because if we want to make a difference we need him."
"Ugh! I rather go with out coffee then work with him!"
"Coffee? Of all things you pick coffee?"
"Hey! If you knew me better you would know coffee is like air to me!"
"Whoo Whoo!" He held his hands up. "Calm down..."
"So where did you come from?"
"Chicago, I wish I was there now!"
"Why did you come here?"
" Just did."
"Where do you live now? Heart ford?"
"No it is some little town.... Right next to a town called stars...."
"Hollow?!?!"
"Yea. They told us we are on the rim or Heart ford and the stars place."
"So you are REALLY close to where I live..."
"Really?"
"I live in Stars Hollow..."
"Nice to know..."
"We better get going to our next class...."
"Yea..."
I don't know what it is about this guy...
~*~ Tristan ~*~
"Hey!" Jack came running up to him.
"Yea?"
"This Jason dude, big trouble. I mean more then... well.... Us...." He laughed
"Why so much trouble?"
"This dude was in a school for the 'troubled' kids. He was involved in a beating. They say he wasn't doing the beating, but he was defiantly there... and not stopping it."
"Thanks dude..."
"No problem"
How the hell do I tell Rory? She won't believe me!
School ended, Tristan figured that he would have to be nice for a while before trying to convince her that Jason was a butt hole.
~*~ Stars Hollow ~*~
" So this is your town...."
"Yup...."
They walked past Docy's market.
"Oh God, I really don't want to see him, come on...."
Dean was about to come out of the door. Rory grabbed his hand and turned fast so that by the time Dean looked up he only saw their backs.
"Couldn't be.... Could it?" Dean said to him self.
Rory and Jason went into Luke's.
"Hey Luke...."
"Rory, who the punk?"
"Jason... He's my first friend at Chilton so be nice!"
"What do you want?"
"Coffee please?"
"That stuff will kill you!" Jason said.
"Thank you!" Luke said.
"Ok, you two. With the holy-er-then-thow! I WANT COFFEE! I will get my mom over here!" Rory looked at Luke.
"Fine! What about you kid?"
"Ice tea?"
"Good choice!"
They sat down at a table in the window. Dean walked by and looked in.
Holy Shit! Dean knew him.
TBC
"I mean, Chilton is a... AHHH!" Rory glanced out the window and saw Dean standing there.
"What?" Jason look at her oddly.
"Dean!" She stood up and went out side. "What in the world do you want?"
"Rory, that kid is bad news!" But if I tell her the truth she'll think im a creep too!
"What are you talking about!" He grabbed her arm and took her aside.
"I have a bad feeling about this guy."
"Dean, we aren't dating any more. For god sakes you never talked to me the entire summer! And now you think you have a right to tell me who and isn't a good person. And who I should hang with!" She couldn't believe him.
Dean looked over Rory's shoulder at Jason. He knew that he knew who he was, and what they had done. Dean didn't know why he was here, but he was going to find out.
"Fine..." He went off to think.
"Who was that dork?"
"Dean... my ex..."
"Ahhh, I got it now...."
"Hey I got a lot of studying to do. Can you get home fine by your self?"
"Yea, see yea tomorrow!"
"Try not to hit me...."
"I'll try...." And he drove off.
Rory was happy that she finally had a friend at Chilton. She had only known him for a day, but she felt like she had known him before. She couldn't shake that eerie feeling that he was just like the two men in her life who hurt her the most. Over the next two weeks they grew closer and those qualities of Tristan and dean were only shown more.
"Her Rory!" Tristan came running down the hall.
"Hey..." This is weird he has been really nice lately... wonder why. Who cares! As long as he is not acting like he did before!
"Can I barrow your notes from Malone's class?"
"I really really need um to study for the test..."
"I'll copy um and give um to you at the end of the day..."
"O...K...."
"Meet me at the front doors right after school..."
"K, see ya then."
This is perfect. I'll be late and she'll have no one around her so I have a chance to talk to her!
Rory sat on the steeps out side, she had already said her good-byes to Jason and was left waiting for Tristan. Tristan had already copied the notes and stood waiting for Jason to leave. He saw Rory's face grow tense and frustrated. He pretended to have been running from the other end of the school and flew out the doors.
"Rory!"
"To late! God, couldn't you be on time for once in your life! Now how do I get home!"
"You have a car what's the big deal?"
"My car being worked on. Therefore I had to take the bus..."
"Oh..... I could drive you..."
"Get in to your car. And put my life in your hands! I think not!"
"How are you going to then? Walk?"
"I could use it!"
"Trust me you don't.... " She blushed realizing his complement. "I made you miss it and not I will drive you home..."
"Kill me and I will hunt you down in my after life!"
"Woo! I got it! Drive slow...."
"Who said anything about slow? I just don't want to kill us. Fast is good. You have a Jag man! Use the power you got under the hood!"
He looked at her like she had three heads.
"I like cars..." He raised one eyebrow. "What! I was waiting in the doctors' office and they only had car magazines. And I got hooked!"
he just smiled and started to walk. She picked up her things and followed. Her eyes scanned for his sleek black car, but couldn't find it.
"Where's your car?"
"Right there..." He pointed to a car she had never seen before.
"That's not your car!"
"Umm, yea, it is... I think I know what I drove here this morning...."
"NO! Your cars a black Jag!"
"I a spoiled rich boy, I have more then one car...."
"And how many do you have?"
"All mine or that I drive..."
"Both..."
"All mine 4 I can drive um all..."
"All equals?"
"13...."
"13! Good God man!"
"You should come and see um some time. The car buff that you are..." He said mockingly.
"Ha ha ha. Better watch what you say, I might take you up on that..."
"Get in..."
"Fine..."
"What is this!" The car stereo went on. "This music sucks..."
"Hey! I like this!"
"Oh yea! Germen heavy metal! Great music! You cant even under stand them!"
"Maybe you cant..."
"You speak germen?"
"Yea, there's a CD case by your feet, you can put something you like better in."
She reached down and grabbed it.
"Heavy Metal.... Eminem... Dre... BRITNEY SPEARS!"
"WHAT?! Who put that in there!" He said with a shocked look on his face.
"Whatever! Here we go..." She pushed eject. Looked at the CD and threw it in the back of the car.
"HEY! It was giving me a head ache just looking at the CD!"
"Oh and we wouldn't want you in any pain!" She popped a CD in.
"What is it?"
Place lyrics
"You like Sum!" He was amazed.
"Yea! I saw them in concert with Blink 182 and I was hooked!"
"*You* Like Sum!"
"Yes, we have established that."
"And you are full of surprises. I guess you never really know what people are like."
"Yea..."
"I mean look at Jason...."
"What the hell are you talking about!" Her eyes stares at him with rage in them.
TBC
"Nothing, I mean he's a nice guy...."
"But..."
"No but."
"With Tristan there is always a but!"
"He had a fuck up past."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"About his past..."
"NO I DON'T KNOW! And it you don't tell me I will kill you!"
"Good God women!"
"What the hell did Jason do?"
"He was with a bunch of guy that almost beat a guy to death."
"What?"
"He was with some guys and they beat a guy. The report didn't say he did the beating but he was there... The guy who did the beating was...a.... Daniel Green... or some color..."
"What... no way.... And how the hell do you know this anyway?"
"I check all the new people out, and plus he was friends with you. I wanted to make sure he was a good guy..."
"And... what else did you find?"
"Nothing..."
"With Tristan THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE!" they laughed alittle.
"He was kicked out of 5 schools in one year."
"For what?"
"Mostly violence... They sent him to a school for the disturbed in Chicago."
Just then Jason words rang though her head.
'"So where did you come from?"
"Chicago, I wish I was there now!"
"Why did you come here?"
" Just did."
"Rory?" Tristan shacked her.
"What?"
"You ok? You looked a little dazed..."
"I was just thinking."
"About?"
"Chicago..."
"Yea, well, he got out and moved here. No one really knows why."
"And how do you find these things out?"
"I have people..."
"People..." she side with a slight grin on her face.
"Yes People! What I'm not allowed to have people?"
"It just sounds funny."
He just smiled at her and drove some more.
"Are we getting close to your house or are we making this a road trip?"
"Wait..." She looked behind her. "We pasted it..."
"We? It have no idea where I'm going!"
"Just turn around Mr. People...." She said and smiled.
"You got it."
"Har Har Har..."
"Turn there..."
"Is that a chicken?"
"No... a rooster!"
"Oh much better..."
"Left..."
"K..."
"The one right there..."
She got out.
"Thanks.."
"Hey, it's the lest I could do."
"Uh... Tristan?"
"Yea?"
"Do you think he's changed?"
"I really don't know..."
"I feel weird now. I mean what if he does something again? Or to me?"
"I wont let that happen..." He said with a grin, but his eyes. They gave him away. She knew he was telling the truth.
He was about to pull away.
"HEY!" Rory yelled.
TBC
Tristan looked over his shoulder at Rory.
"Yea?"
"You want to get some food?"
"Sure..." He stopped his car and got out. "That little dinner you're always talking about?"
"Yup. Luke's!"
"Fine with me...."
They began to walk.
"So what made you invite me to dinner?"
"I don't know...."
"Yea you do. Rory never does anything with out a reason...."
She smiled. "Just felt like it I guess...."
"Hey, it's fine with me. Going back to an empty house for dinner isn't too fun..."
"Empty?"
"Yea, well my folks are in some other country...."
"You don't know?"
"I kinda lose track. They will tell me a day before they leave most of the time...."
"Most of the time?"
" I get notes or one of the maids tell me...."
"That has to suck...."
"Suck? I get anything I want anytime I want.... How could that suck?" He said in such away Rory knew on the inside he was hurting, bad.
"Well, now we have each other...." She didn't think about the words before they came out of her mouth.
He just smiled.
"So what's so great about this place any way?"
"It's has the BEST coffee...."
"Coffee?"
"Yup...."
"So you go there for a whole meal just so you can have the coffee."
"Yup"
"your insane?"
"Insane no.... addicted yes...."
"Have you ever thought of kicking this habit?"
"NO!"
"Geez. Fine I'll leave you and your coffee addiction alone...."
"Good boy!" She stood on her tip toes and patted him on the top of his head.
"Very funny...."
"I thought so...."
"Why hello Rory...." Miss Patty said coming up to them.
"Hey Miss Patty."
"And who is this handsome young man?"
"This is..."
"Tristan Du Gray... It's a pleasure to meet you..." He said taking her hand and kissing it.
"Ohh, this ones good. He's a keeper..." She said before going back inside and dialing her cell phone.
Rory smirked at him.
"What?" He asked with a over expression of surprise on his face.
"You are such a.... pimp.... no.... player.... no...."
"Charmer?"
"I have a few more colorful adjectives, but yea that's one of them...."
"Yea, sure...."
"Oh come on!"
"What, I was thought to be a gentle men!"
"GENTEL MEN! You? Riiiiggghhht..."
"What, have I ever tried anything on you?"
"No, but making out with random girls on my locker.... Not a gentle men thing to do..."
"Duly noted..." he said putting his hand to his fore head.
"so do you want the school year to start?"
"Nope, I hate acting for people...."
"Huh?"
"Nothing..." She knew what he meant, he did put a act on for the girls and people at school.
They were in font of Luke's now. Rory looked in the window.
"Oh Tristan. I forgot to tell you...."
TBC
Tristan looked over his shoulder at Rory.
"Yea?"
"You want to get some food?"
"Sure..." He stopped his car and got out. "That little dinner you're always talking about?"

"Rory, who the punk?"
"Jason... He's my first friend at Chilton so be nice!"
"What do you want?"
"Coffee please?"
"That stuff will kill you!" Jason said.
"Thank you!" Luke said.
"Ok, you two. With the holy-er-then-thow! I WANT COFFEE! I will get my mom over here!" Rory looked at Luke.
"Fine! What about you kid?"
"Ice tea?"
"Good choice!"
They sat down at a table in the window. Dean walked by and looked in.
Holy Shit! Dean knew him.
TBC
"I mean, Chilton is a... AHHH!" Rory glanced out the window and saw Dean standing there.
"What?" Jason look at her oddly.
"Dean!" She stood up and went out side. "What in the world do you want?"
"Rory, that kid is bad news!" But if I tell her the truth she'll think im a creep too!
"What are you talking about!" He grabbed her arm and took her aside.
"I have a bad feeling about this guy."
"Dean, we aren't dating any more. For god sakes you never talked to me the entire summer! And now you think you have a right to tell me who and isn't a good person. And who I should hang with!" She couldn't believe him.
Dean looked over Rory's shoulder at Jason. He knew that he knew who he was, and what they had done. Dean didn't know why he was here, but he was going to find out.
"Fine..." He went off to think.
"Who was that dork?"
"Dean... my ex..."
"Ahhh, I got it now...."
"Hey I got a lot of studying to do. Can you get home fine by your self?"
"Yea, see yea tomorrow!"
"Try not to hit me...."
"I'll try...." And he drove off.
Rory was happy that she finally had a friend at Chilton. She had only known him for a day, but she felt like she had known him before. She couldn't shake that eerie feeling that he was just like the two men in her life who hurt her the most. Over the next two weeks they grew closer and those qualities of Tristan and dean were only shown more.
"Her Rory!" Tristan came running down the hall.
"Hey..." This is weird he has been really nice lately... wonder why. Who cares! As long as he is not acting like he did before!
"Can I barrow your notes from Malone's class?"
"I really really need um to study for the test..."
"I'll copy um and give um to you at the end of the day..."
"O...K...."
"Meet me at the front doors right after school..."
"K, see ya then."
This is perfect. I'll be late and she'll have no one around her so I have a chance to talk to her!
Rory sat on the steeps out side, she had already said her good-byes to Jason and was left waiting for Tristan. Tristan had already copied the notes and stood waiting for Jason to leave. He saw Rory's face grow tense and frustrated. He pretended to have been running from the other end of the school and flew out the doors.
"Rory!"
"To late! God, couldn't you be on time for once in your life! Now how do I get home!"
"You have a car what's the big deal?"
"My car being worked on. Therefore I had to take the bus..."
"Oh..... I could drive you..."
"Get in to your car. And put my life in your hands! I think not!"
"How are you going to then? Walk?"
"I could use it!"
"Trust me you don't.... " She blushed realizing his complement. "I made you miss it and not I will drive you home..."
"Kill me and I will hunt you down in my after life!"
"Woo! I got it! Drive slow...."
"Who said anything about slow? I just don't want to kill us. Fast is good. You have a Jag man! Use the power you got under the hood!"
He looked at her like she had three heads.
"I like cars..." He raised one eyebrow. "What! I was waiting in the doctors' office and they only had car magazines. And I got hooked!"
he just smiled and started to walk. She picked up her things and followed. Her eyes scanned for his sleek black car, but couldn't find it.
"Where's your car?"
"Right there..." He pointed to a car she had never seen before.
"That's not your car!"
"Umm, yea, it is... I think I know what I drove here this morning...."
"NO! Your cars a black Jag!"
"I a spoiled rich boy, I have more then one car...."
"And how many do you have?"
"All mine or that I drive..."
"Both..."
"All mine 4 I can drive um all..."
"All equals?"
"13...."
"13! Good God man!"
"You should come and see um some time. The car buff that you are..." He said mockingly.
"Ha ha ha. Better watch what you say, I might take you up on that..."
"Get in..."
"Fine..."
"What is this!" The car stereo went on. "This music sucks..."
"Hey! I like this!"
"Oh yea! Germen heavy metal! Great music! You cant even under stand them!"
"Maybe you cant..."
"You speak germen?"
"Yea, there's a CD case by your feet, you can put something you like better in."
She reached down and grabbed it.
"Heavy Metal.... Eminem... Dre... BRITNEY SPEARS!"
"WHAT?! Who put that in there!" He said with a shocked look on his face.
"Whatever! Here we go..." She pushed eject. Looked at the CD and threw it in the back of the car.
"HEY! It was giving me a head ache just looking at the CD!"
"Oh and we wouldn't want you in any pain!" She popped a CD in.
"What is it?"
Place lyrics
"You like Sum!" He was amazed.
"Yea! I saw them in concert with Blink 182 and I was hooked!"
"*You* Like Sum!"
"Yes, we have established that."
"And you are full of surprises. I guess you never really know what people are like."
"Yea..."
"I mean look at Jason...."
"What the hell are you talking about!" Her eyes stares at him with rage in them.
TBC
"Nothing, I mean he's a nice guy...."
"But..."
"No but."
"With Tristan there is always a but!"
"He had a fuck up past."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"About his past..."
"NO I DON'T KNOW! And it you don't tell me I will kill you!"
"Good God women!"
"What the hell did Jason do?"
"He was with a bunch of guy that almost beat a guy to death."
"What?"
"He was with some guys and they beat a guy. The report didn't say he did the beating but he was there... The guy who did the beating was...a.... Daniel Green... or some color..."
"What... no way.... And how the hell do you know this anyway?"
"I check all the new people out, and plus he was friends with you. I wanted to make sure he was a good guy..."
"And... what else did you find?"
"Nothing..."
"With Tristan THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE!" they laughed alittle.
"He was kicked out of 5 schools in one year."
"For what?"
"Mostly violence... They sent him to a school for the disturbed in Chicago."
Just then Jason words rang though her head.
'"So where did you come from?"
"Chicago, I wish I was there now!"
"Why did you come here?"
" Just did."
"Rory?" Tristan shacked her.
"What?"
"You ok? You looked a little dazed..."
"I was just thinking."
"About?"
"Chicago..."
"Yea, well, he got out and moved here. No one really knows why."
"And how do you find these things out?"
"I have people..."
"People..." she side with a slight grin on her face.
"Yes People! What I'm not allowed to have people?"
"It just sounds funny."
He just smiled at her and drove some more.
"Are we getting close to your house or are we making this a road trip?"
"Wait..." She looked behind her. "We pasted it..."
"We? It have no idea where I'm going!"
"Just turn around Mr. People...." She said and smiled.
"You got it."
"Har Har Har..."
"Turn there..."
"Is that a chicken?"
"No... a rooster!"
"Oh much better..."
"Left..."
"K..."
"The one right there..."
She got out.
"Thanks.."
"Hey, it's the lest I could do."
"Uh... Tristan?"
"Yea?"
"Do you think he's changed?"
"I really don't know..."
"I feel weird now. I mean what if he does something again? Or to me?"
"I wont let that happen..." He said with a grin, but his eyes. They gave him away. She knew he was telling the truth.
He was about to pull away.
"HEY!" Rory yelled.
TBC
Tristan looked over his shoulder at Rory.
"Yea?"
"You want to get some food?"
"Sure..." He stopped his car and got out. "That little dinner you're always talking about?"
"Yup. Luke's!"
"Fine with me...."
They began to walk.
"So what made you invite me to dinner?"
"I don't know...."
"Yea you do. Rory never does anything with out a reason...."
She smiled. "Just felt like it I guess...."
"Hey, it's fine with me. Going back to an empty house for dinner isn't too fun..."
"Empty?"
"Yea, well my folks are in some other country...."
"You don't know?"
"I kinda lose track. They will tell me a day before they leave most of the time...."
"Most of the time?"
" I get notes or one of the maids tell me...."
"That has to suck...."
"Suck? I get anything I want anytime I want.... How could that suck?" He said in such away Rory knew on the inside he was hurting, bad.
"Well, now we have each other...." She didn't think about the words before they came out of her mouth.
He just smiled.
"So what's so great about this place any way?"
"It's has the BEST coffee...."
"Coffee?"
"Yup...."
"So you go there for a whole meal just so you can have the coffee."
"Yup"
"your insane?"
"Insane no.... addicted yes...."
"Have you ever thought of kicking this habit?"
"NO!"
"Geez. Fine I'll leave you and your coffee addiction alone...."
"Good boy!" She stood on her tip toes and patted him on the top of his head.
"Very funny...."
"I thought so...."
"Why hello Rory...." Miss Patty said coming up to them.
"Hey Miss Patty."
"And who is this handsome young man?"
"This is..."
"Tristan Du Gray... It's a pleasure to meet you..." He said taking her hand and kissing it.
"Ohh, this ones good. He's a keeper..." She said before going back inside and dialing her cell phone.
Rory smirked at him.
"What?" He asked with a over expression of surprise on his face.
"You are such a.... pimp.... no.... player.... no...."
"Charmer?"
"I have a few more colorful adjectives, but yea that's one of them...."
"Yea, sure...."
"Oh come on!"
"What, I was thought to be a gentle men!"
"GENTEL MEN! You? Riiiiggghhht..."
"What, have I ever tried anything on you?"
"No, but making out with random girls on my locker.... Not a gentle men thing to do..."
"Duly noted..." he said putting his hand to his fore head.
"so do you want the school year to start?"
"Nope, I hate acting for people...."
"Huh?"
"Nothing..." She knew what he meant, he did put a act on for the girls and people at school.
They were in font of Luke's now. Rory looked in the window.
"Oh Tristan. I forgot to tell you...."
