Hi! This is my first fic so sorry about the crapness!! I'm a huge Trory fan, so that kinda indicates the way of this story. Please review coz I need as much feedback as possible so I can improve!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Gilmore Girls. Bla bla bla
"Mini-Me, I'm leaving for work! Try to wake up before you get to hell!"
Lorelai's voice rang up the stairs, echoing in Rory's head.
"Rrrr…must…have…coffee…" Rory haphazardly swung her arms around hoping to hit a cup of coffee. "Jackpot"
The next half hour was spent rushing around getting ready, at the same time desperately trying to remember the formula's she was memorising the night before. Last minute cramming had become a routine Sunday night event.
Each week was beginning to be exactly the same.
Monday-Thursday: Survive Chilton
Friday: Chilton party
Saturday: Chilton Party
Sunday: Cram all night for exams
Trying to keep her eyes open, Rory walked out the door. She remembered Friday night, smirked and sighed to herself
"Eh, take the good with the bad." Madeline beeped the horn and Rory instinctively beamed a smile and got in the car.
"Hey Rory, ready for chem.?"
"Lets hope so"
"You will never guess what I heard from Tanya last night. She said…."
"Wait Wait…The silicone has gone to her head and that's why she can't think properly?"
"Close. Her cousin Trent was at the same Military school as Tristan."
"Hmm… was?"
"Yeh apparently Tristan's out and is coming back to Chilton today."
"How exciting. The King returns."
"He's supposed to be a whole new person"
"Oh, I hope he's James Marsden, I love him!"
The bell rang and Rory, Madeline, Louise, Tanya, Katie, May and Jane left the carpark and began walking to class. Their conversation continued as they strolled down the halls, with most guys at their lockers turning to watch them go past. They approached where the Jocks hung around and the chattering turned to whispers and nudging.
"And then of course I said…" Rory stopped abruptly as Madeline nudged her in the ribs.
"Look up ahead" Madeline muttered with clenched teeth.
On sighting the recently returned Tristan, Rory remained composed. The guys stopped talking as the girls approached.
Louise and Madeline both disappeared with their current flings. Rory turned to face Tristan.
"Rory…"Tristan said soothly maintaining eye contact.
Rory looked him up and down, making sure he noticed her actions.
"Huh, interesting" She then turned and walked to their table.
Tristan was left stunned. He expected a witty comment, or a degrading insult, instead he got was a very confusing non-mary come back.
He turned to face his friends and smiled, pleased with himself.
Tristan began walking down the hall with a friend he'd known forever, Mike.
"Dugrey you're in trouble"
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"I saw that look last time you were here"
"There is no look… I am lookless"
"Sure… She's got you wrapped around her finger"
"Who?"
"You never got over her did you?"
"I have no idea who or what you are talking about."
"She's changed man. You might be surprised. Just warning you."
"Whatever, Seeya later"
"Yeh, later"
Louise, Madeline and Rory came out of their chem. exam, followed by Paris.
"So, how did you go?" Paris asked neurotically.
"Good enough" they replied in unison
Paris rolled her eyes and walked away.
"You have so got to tell use what happened when we were.. uh.. occupied" Louise insisted.
"Happened with what?"
"Cut the dumb act, we're short on time. What'd you say?'
"He said Rory, and I said interesting"
"That's it?"
"Yup"
"Every word?"
"Yup"
"Interesting? Huh I should try that. Did he seem surprised?'
"More so after our 'conversation'"
"I bet he did… This will be fun"
Rory left Louise and Madeline with the rest of the group to go to her locker. She leaned her head on top of the locker. Her eyes drooped and she leant on the locker to keep her standing.
Her eyes oped abruptly as she felt a strong hand rest on her waist.
"Didn't mean to scare you, Rory" Tristan whispered in her ear, pushing her closer to the locker.
"Don't worry, you didn't"
"I never worry…" Tristan began breathing softly on her neck. "Seems things have changed since I left"
"The world doesn't stop when you aren't around, Bible boy"
"Doesn't seem as appropriate to call you Mary now. I've heard a fair few stories…" Tristan said smirking and stroking his thumb on her hip.
"Too bad, I was starting to like the name" Rory said, starting to feel tense. She wasn't sure if it was lack of sleep or the chem. exam she was sure she'd falie, but she was having trouble staying in control.
{No-one's home, its ok}
"What?" Rory said startled. Tristan turned her to face him.
"I asked if you were ok, you seemed kinda zoned, you aren't doing…"
"No, no… Chemistry exam, killers, you know" Rory said, crinkling her forehead.
"Well chemistry can be that way" Tristan replied stroking her cheek.
Rory smirked and put her finger to his lips.
"I'm going to be late. I'm sure I'll see you later" Rory said with a smile and walked to her next class.
Tristan ran up behind her.
"Actually I think we're in the same class next"
"English with Ms Walsh?"
"Yup"
"What a coincidence"
"Must be fate…"
