Paring R/T and L/L

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any thing affiliated with it. Nor do I own Chad, oh the things I would do if I did. ;-).

I know Rory is not going to Harvard but like my other story I just found them. I packed them away when I moved three years ago and just recently found them. In the garage. So yeah I am posting them now. I hope you enjoy.

Harvard

' I can't believe I am here' Rory Gilmore thought as she sat on a blanket under a tree at Harvard University. Sitting next to her was Paris Gellar, her one time rival and now one of her best friends.

"Rory, what is wrong with you? You hardly toughed your coffee." Paris asked her.

"Oh, I was just thinking of how we got here." Answered Rory, taking a sip of her now cold coffee.

"Well we have four years here, and I refuse to hang out with you if you keep acting like this." Paris said in true Paris fashion.

"I think I miss Chilton." Rory told her pouting.

"Rory, we left in June, it is only August. Besides how can you miss that place you refer to as Hell?" Paris asked with a smile.

"My mom is the one who called Chilton Hell, and you know as well as I the once Lorelai Gilmore makes up a name you stick with it." Rory told her.

"I know what you mean, about the missing Chilton thing, I mean we wouldn't be friends if it wasn't for "Hell". " Paris responded.

"Yeah, well that didn't have such a smooth start. You were mean to me for the first year and a half." Rory said as she looked at Paris with a smile.

"Hey, I thought you were after Tristan, and the only real threat for number one in the class. But then Tristan left and I got over it. Besides I have Kyle now." Paris told her, knowing what she would say next.

"I don't know how many times I told you I wasn't onto him." Rory said," Besides I had Dean."

"Like I said he left and then the only battle I had left with you was for the top grades, which I didn't win either, we tied." Paris retorted.

"Speaking of Tristan, did you ever hear from him?" Rory asked.

"No, he was pretty much not seen after the safe incident. As far as I know he never came back." Paris said, and then added, "I am surprised he didn't try to contact you."

"Why? We weren't exactly friends." Rory said, but knowing what was coming added, "The next words out of your mouth better not be he had a thing for you."

"It so true! I had never seen him try so hard for a girl. He never had to." Paris responded.

"He didn't have a thing for me." Rory said in a finial tone.

"Yes he did, I wasn't blind. I saw the way he looked at you." She said "He never called anyone Mary for that long, if he ever had before."

"He called me Mary to annoy me, and it worked." Rory said, getting flustered. "I do miss him though. He was sort of nice when he said goodbye to me. To tell you the truth I did think he was cute. Maybe if he wasn't so persistent and pushy and there was no Dean then maybe I would have gone out with him."

"So, say you saw him again, what would you do?" Paris asked looking past her, though it went unnoticed by the latter.

"These are offaly strange questions, is there something you would like to share with the class" Rory asked her.

"No, I just miss him too. I have known him all my life. We grew up together. I thought you weren't interested in him?" Paris asked raising an eyebrow.

"I wasn't blind either. I could see how attractive he was."

"Awww, Mary thought I was attractive." Came a male voice from behind Rory that could only be…

"Tristan?" Rory asked turning around to the voice.

When she saw it was indeed Tristan DuGray, she leapt off her blanket and ran to him jumping in his arms for a hug.

"Jeez, Mary had I known I would get this kind of greeting I would have come back ages ago." Tristan said hugging her back. "Seriously I missed you Rory."

"We were just talking about you." Paris said getting up to give him a hug." Rory must have really missed you, she threw her coffee aside and everything."

"It was cold anyway, so how about we go get some fresh coffee and catch up?" Rory asked.

Paris looked at Tristan and then at Rory.

"I can't go, I told Kyle I would call him. Why don't you two go ahead?" Paris said gathering her coffee cup and the now empty blanket.

"I'm free. That is if you don't mind it being just the two of us." Tristan said with a smirk.

"That's fine. I will see you at home Paris." Rory said as an answer.

They said their goodbyes and then went their separate ways.

Coffee Shop

After getting their coffee's Rory and Tristan sat down on the patio. They fell into an easy conversation.

"So what's been happening since I left. Did you guys fail the project? " Tristan asked.

"No, we ended up getting an A. Paris played Romeo and because of it Ms. Mattews thought that it was inspired to stray from the classic of Romeo played by a guy." Rory answered.

"I missed you and Paris kissing?" Tristan asked.

"No she "died" before that" Rory told him rolling her eyes.

"So how did you and Paris become friends?"

"Well after you left, and I was no longer a threat to her romantic interest it wasn't too hard."

"Are you saying it was my fault she hated you?"

"Yes! You constantly hit on me. And you knew Paris had a huge crush on you. So she was mad when I was "mean" to you."

Tristan decided it was time to change the subject and answer the one question he really wanted to know.

"So how is Bagboy?" Tristan asked not being able to keep the disdain from his voice.

"Dean and I broke up last year." Rory answered unaffected.

"I am sorry." Tristan said this time trying to sound sympathetic.

"No your not. I know you hated him just as much as he hated you. Anyway it was because I liked this guy named Jess. I ended up dating him for about two months before we broke up mutually. " Rory told him.

"So your single now?" Tristan asked.

"Yes, no attachments romantically." Rory responded. "Why do you ask?"

"No reason really just asking." Tristan replied running a hand through his hair.

"Your hair is shorter." Rory commented.

"They like to keep it short in military school." Tristan told her. "Where are you living?"

"Grandma bought me an apartment, of course my mom threw a fit." Rory informed him.

"Not staying in the dorms?" He asked.

"No Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't allow that. Something about getting sick to much and not being appropriate." Rory said.

"Yeah I am getting an apartment too. I just need to find one. Do you have any roommates?" He inquired.

"Yeah, I am sharing a two bedroom with Paris." Rory said, then looking at her watch added,

"I have to go. I need to call Lane and my mom. I call every Friday at 5:00."

"Ok, I should get going too. It was nice seeing you again" He told her.

"Yeah you too, we should so it again sometime." She said back

"Sounds good to me. I am going left. So I'll see you latter?"

"Yeah, here is my number call me sometime." Rory said as they hugged and walked off in opposite directions.

Okay so there you go. There is the first chapter. I hope you liked it. Please review.
