My Dearest Rory,

It sounds like your life should be made into a TV show. I wouldn't read too much into the Lane and Dean thing. You don't really know all the details. Maybe you should ask her about it. Say something like someone saw them kissing and you wanted to know the whole story behind it.

My roommate is driving me crazy. I was singing along with my radio yesterday and the jerk recorded me. Now every time any one boots up a computer, they hear me singing 'Uptown Girl'.

That's not the worse part though. He is plotting with someone whose screen name is ILoveCoffee. He said it was some pen pal, but I saw the receipt for two plane tickets here. He came in before I could read where the starting destination was.

I hope he isn't bringing his girlfriend down here. It would be kind of like rubbing it in that he has one and well, you are just so far away.

I would give anything to see you again. I talked to Granddad the other day. He said if I can get though this quarter, I should be able to come home for the last quarter. I don't know how much say he has in this, but it would be great if I can come back.

Uh, oh, I think I am in for some serious trouble. Jason just dragged in a Karaoke machine.

I love you,

Tristan

"Jess, I appreciate you coming with me."

"Paris would kill me if I let you come down here by yourself."

"How is that going?"

"Oh, like you don't know? I heard the two of you talking about me. By the way, next time you talk to her, let her know that I wouldn't mind her saying that she is falling for me. I kind of feel the same way."

"Okay, I will let her know."

"So who is this guy that you are going to meet?"

"Tristan. I went to school with him. You will like him. He's you but from society. His roommate is picking us up."

"What's his roommate's name?"

"Jason Douglas."

"Tell me you are joking."

"Why?"

"Jess Marino, get your behind over here right now."

"Sir, yes, sir"

"How you been, man?"

"Living in Nowheresville, Connecticut. So this is where you ended up, huh?"

"Yeah, how did your mom take that whole car on the roof incident?"

"That's right you got shipped off before the outcome. I got sent to live with my uncle."

"So what are you doing here?"

"I came with Rory."

"God help us, this place is not going to survive the weekend."

"Okay, Rory, He is in the mess hall. He will be in here in about ten minutes. I will just show Jess around. We will see you at five for dinner." Jason walked out with Jess following.

Tristan walked into his room and froze. Rory Gilmore, the love of his life, was sitting on his bed reading.
