A/N: Okay guys. Do you remember that really dumb fic that I had out for a little while called "There's Sumthin About Mary"? Well I removed that one because I decided it was dumb. This is my first attempt at a Trory so no flames please.

Summary: Tristan returned to Chilton for Senior year. Romance with Rory ensues.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

Rory ran down the hall and slid to a halt. She overslept and was now late for her first class. She started turning the combination for her locker. "Come on, come on." She grumbled. Nothing. She tried this at least five more times until a hand reached over her and banged twice and her locker popped open. She was so grateful that she was about to hug the person who did it.

"Thank you so mu-" she stopped in midsentance (is that even a word? Okay on with the story) when she saw who it was.

"What are you doing here Tristan?" she said, very surprised. He smirked.

"Glad to see you missed me Mary." He said. Rory inwardly rolled her eyes. He hadn't changed much. Still wore his trademark smirk. He still had his tie loose around his neck. He still had those amazing blue eyes. Wait, did I just think he had amazing eyes, Rory thought. She shook that thought out of her head. She noticed that the only thing that had changed was his hair. Instead of it usually standing on end, sticking out this way and that, it barely peeked above his scalp. She snorted.

"What?" he asked confused.

"Nothing, I was just thinking how strange you look with a buzz cut." Tristan rolled his eyes. Rory stood on her tip toes and ran her hand across his head. "Smooth." She said.

"You never answered my question, what are you doing here?" she asked now remembering that he wasn't supposed to be there.

"Parents took me out of military school and voila! Here I am." He smirked then said, "Shouldn't you be in class?"

Rory slapped her hand to her head, remembering that she was supposed to be in class and she took off down the hall way. Tristan just stood there, shaking his head silently. Rory Gilmore, we meet again, he thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

After school, Rory stomped into Luke's. Jess was at the counter and Rory resisted the urge to head right back out again.

"H-hi Jess" she stammered. Everyone knew that Jess had feelings for Rory. After the kiss, Rory broke it off with Dean out of guilt for what she had done. She still liked Jess as a friend but she wasn't sure if it was something more. Inevitably, she had broken Jess's heart.

"Rory." He replied curtly. He was upset at Rory for not giving him a chance. "Coffee." He stated, more than asked. She nodded and he turned to the coffee pot.

She drained her mug then smiled, when he didn't do anything she just cleared her throught. "Um, I guess I see you later." She said, trying to start a conversation.

"Whatever" he replied heading up the stairs. Rory just sighed and thought, This is going to be one interesting senior year.
