A/N: So in this story, Rory has been going to schools in Hartford her whole life, but she lives in Stars Hollow. Emily insisted upon her having the best education and well, the elder Gilmores are paying for it. She grew up with Tristan, Finn, Logan, Colin, Stephanie, Paris, etc. Currently, they are in their junior year. Oh and I own nothing. Sadly. But, if I owned CMM, hehe oh the dirty things I'd do. But, then again, I'd upset my boyfriend. Anyway on to the story. Oh and by the way, this is my first Trory so please be nice.

Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, more commonly known as Rory to her friends and family, to bare any confusion since well her mother and great-grandmother are both also Lorelai's, was walking in the hallway on her way to her locker when she was pulled into a class room by two familiar hands.

"Finnegan! What the hell are you doing?"

"Nothing Love, I just wanted to see if you would come with me."

"Finn, I love you." She puts her hand up. "As a friend, but no; I've got to get home. I'll hang out with you later, promise." She takes his hand and pulls him out of the classroom and heads to her locker with him. "And you're going to go to class too."

He whines and puts his arm around her shoulder. "But Love, why go home and do homework? Take a break."

She gets to her locker and fights with it to get it open. "Homework is fun; please Finny?" She turns and pouts at him, giving him the puppy eyes.

He sighs. "Alright, fine I'll go but you're going to make it up to me later." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, grinning.

She grins and leans up and kisses his cheek. "I always do. Now go so I can persuade Fernando to open for me."

He chuckles. "Alright Love, I'll see you soon." He walks away, putting his arm around Stephanie's shoulders as she passes them by.

Tristan walks up behind Rory as she fights with 'Fernando', trying to get him to open.

"Come on Fernando, open up. I really need you to do this for me."

"Well Mare, looks like I've got to warn Bagboy about this rendezvous you've got going on."

She turns and glares at him. "Funny. He won't open. Open him please?" She pouts and bats her eyelashes.

It was common knowledge that Rory had both Finn and Tristan wrapped around her finger. She had Logan and Colin too, but everyone knew that Finn and Rory were inseparable and they were more like brother and sister. But when it came to Tristan, everyone, but Rory, knew that Tristan really liked her, more then any of his one night stands. It was also common knowledge that Tristan, Finn, and Logan didn't like Dean. They never said anything about it to Rory though, not wanting to get on her bad side.

Tristan smirks and wraps his arm around Rory's waist and opens her locker with his one hand. "There. Now, I'm going to have to talk to Fernando again so he'll open for you every time."

Rory grins and hugs Tristan. "Thank you Tris. Now, get your arm out from around my waist, thank you." She pushes his arm away and gets the rest of her books.

Meanwhile, Tristan decides to have some fun. He steps into the middle of the hallway and looks at Rory. "Rory, I can't keep this charade up any longer. We need to tell people about us."

Rory turns and glares at him, deciding to play along. "Tristan, there is no us anymore! I can't do this anymore."

"That's not what you said last night. Last night you told me I was your only one, that you couldn't love anyone else but me."

"I don't love you Tristan. I lied last night."

He steps closer to her and looks in her eyes. "You lied? You never lie. So you're standing here, telling me that our whole relationship has been a lie?"

She nods and looks at him. "I've been lying. I've been seeing Dean the whole time; I never broke it off with him."

"Well, then we'll have to get you to then, won't we?" He leans down and kisses her passionately. What the hell am I doing? Is she kissing me back?

What the hell is he doing? Wow, he's a good kisser. She was kissing him back, they has both felt the sparks. Rory pulls away from him and runs down the hall as fast as she can. What was I thinking? Did I really just kiss Tristan Dugrey? I'm with Dean, well, sort of. He cheated on me, with that cheerleader. Ug, what am I going to do? Rory was sitting at the bus stop waiting for her bus; she had refused her grandparents' offer of a car. She was deep in thought when Tristan sat down next to her and nudged her.

"Penny for your thoughts Mare?"

She jumps in the air and glares at him. "No, I'm waiting for the bus." She stares at her shoes and bites her lip.

"Let me take you home, please?"

She looks at him and nods. "Alright."

He takes her hand and walks her to his car. He notes that she doesn't remove her hand and shrugs it off as her not paying attention. He opens the door for her and takes her bag and puts it in the back. He notices she's staring off into space so he crouches down next to her. "I'm sorry about kissing you."

She was staring out into space. "He's cheating on me. I wouldn't sleep with him, so he found someone who would. He doesn't know I know."

Tristan was taken back by her comment and put a hand on her shoulder. "Rory, who's cheating on you?"

"Dean." She spit his name out so coldly, so harshly. "Tristan, I…I wanted that kiss, so don't be sorry about it. Can you just take me home?"

He nods. "Of course Rory." He was confused to say the least. Why didn't she break up with him? She deserved much better, but was he better for her? He didn't think he was. He stands up and gets in the car and pulls out of the parking lot and heads to Stars Hollow.

Rory was playing with the bracelet she had on when she ripped it off and opened the window and threw it out. She closed the window back up and stared outside. "I saw them kissing, when I was on my way to see him, I knew he was getting off of work so I wanted to surprise him. I guess I was the one who was surprised."

Tristan reached over and squeezed her hand. "I'm sorry Mare."

She shrugs. "Don't be. I just don't have the guts to break up with him."

"Why not?"

"He was a good first boyfriend to me. It's stupid, but I don't know the real reason."

"Maybe you should."

She chuckles sadly. "I know you guys don't like him. I guess then I'd have to tell Dean I know about him cheating on me and I don't want to. It makes me feel bad."

"Rory, don't blame yourself. Dean is an idiot for doing that to you."

She nods and looks back out the window as they arrive in Stars Hollow. Rory looks over at Stars Hollow High and gasps. She sees Dean making out with the blonde bimbo against a tree. She looks away, trying not to cry.

"Rory, I'm stopping the car and you're going to get out and talk to him. Break up with him."

"Will you come with me?"

He nods. "If you need me to I will."

She nods as Tristan parks the car. They get out and Rory walks up to Dean and clears her throat. "Hey Dean."

Dean backs away from the girl and looks at Rory. "Rory, this isn't what it looks like."

"Really Dean. Then tell me, what is it?"

"Well, you see Lindsey and I were just talking."

"Right, that's what the lingo for it is now. Some people call it cheating. Dean, you're cheating on me! How could you?"

Dean takes too long to answer which causes Rory to slap him. "We're done Dean." She walks away and gets back into Tristan's car.

Tristan looks at Dean. "You're lucky I respect Rory and want to make sure she's ok. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to use some vital organs." He spits and walks away from Dean and gets back into the car and looks over at Rory who's crying. "Ror, he's not worth it."

She nods and wipes her eyes. "I just want to go home."

He nods. "Ok. Want me to get some coffee at Luke's for you?"

She smiles some and nods. "Please?"

"Anything else?"

"Pie."

He smiles. "Ok." He squeezes her hand and gets out. He locks the doors and goes into Luke's. Tristan and Finn were both common people to see around Stars Hollow so when he came running into Luke's, Luke wasn't shocked. "I need some pie and two coffees to go Luke, thanks." Tristan sits at the counter and rubs his hand over his face.

Luke fills two to-go-cups with coffee and gets two pieces of pie and puts them in a container and hands everything to Tristan. "What's going on?"

"Dean and Rory just broke up. I'm trying to get Rory to feel better."

Luke did a double take and put his hands on the counter and looked at Tristan. "Rory and Dean broke up? When? How?"

"Just now. Rory broke up with him; he was cheating on her."

"Dean was cheating on Rory!" Luke was angry now. "Where is he?"

"Luke, I took care of it and so did Rory. Let me just get this to her then get her home." He puts some money on the counter and Luke pushes it back to him.

"Don't worry; just go take care of her."

Tristan nods and takes the money back and grabs the stuff. "Thanks Luke." He walks out of the diner and back into his car. He hands Rory one of the coffees and puts the other in the cup holder. He pulls away from the curb and looks over at Rory. "Luke wants to kill Dean."

Rory drinks some of her coffee and chuckles. "I figured he would want to. You know what, I don't care anymore. He's not worth it."

Tristan looks at her. "Rory, you sure?"

She nods and finishes her coffee. "I am. No reason to be upset."

Tristan raises his eyebrow and shakes his head. "If you say so." They pull up to the front of Rory's house and he parks. "Want me to come in?"

She nods. "Yes, please." She gets out of the car and grabs her bag from the back and walks up to the porch. She unlocks the door and walks in, putting her bag in her room. She closes the door and changes into some sweatpants and a t-shirt and walks back out and sees Tristan sitting on the couch. She walks over to him and sits next to him and turns on the television. "Pie!" She takes one of the containers from him and grabs a fork from the bag and starts to eat it. "Thanks Tristan."

He watches her and chuckles. "You're welcome."

They find a movie on television and decide to watch that. Rory falls asleep with her head on Tristan's shoulder once the movie is over. He knows she's needs to get over Dean and her ignoring it, isn't helping any.

Lorelai walks in a few hours later and sees both teens asleep. She knows about the break-up and it surprised that Rory isn't crying or that she hasn't been crying. She taps Tristan on the shoulder and he looks up at her and whispers.

"Hey Lorelai. We were watching a movie and we must have fallen asleep."

Lorelai smiles. "It's alright, why don't you bring her into her room."

He nods and carefully picks up Rory. He brings her into her room and covers her with the blanket. He kisses her forehead softly and smiles. "Night Mare."

He walks out of the room and rubs his hand over his face. "Sorry about falling asleep."

"Don't worry about it. You should get going, I don't want your parents to freak and I don't want you driving too late."

He nods. "Ok. Night Lorelai."

"Night Tristan."

Tristan leaves the Gilmore House and heads home, still thinking about his Sleeping Beauty.
