The gang says goodbye to Trey and they head towards the gym.
The girls go into their locker room while the guys go into theirs. The guys go out into the gym and wait for the girls to be done, and then the girls walk out.
Tristan is staring at Rory and suddenly says, "Damn Rory's got back."
Rory turns to look at Tristan, shocked that he had actually said that out loud, emphasis on the "loud" part. It seemed that he was pretty shocked too, if his looking away hurriedly was any indication.
"You're not so bad yourself," Rory replied with a wink as she left to sit with Madeline and the girls.
Tristan smirked. He liked Rory's attitude and from what he remembered from that brief conversation, the feisty beauty had the brains to back it up as well.

Tristan heard a weird noise coming from Madeline's computer as he waited for her to come out of the shower. 'Five minutes my ass' he thought sarcastically.

There it was again. Going over to the computer, he noticed that someone was IM-ing his friend. Out of curiosity he opened the window to see who it was.
Coffee-Freak1988: Hey
Coffee-Freak1988: Hellooo. Mads, you there?
Coffee-Freak1988: Ok I guess I'll have to wait till later to tell you but I have some potentially fantastic news!
Mad-Maddie2005: Hi. Madeline's in the shower right now. I think she'll be out in a few minutes if you want to wait?
Coffee-Freak1988: Oh hi. Is this Logan?
Mad-Maddie2005: No, I'm just a friend of Madeline's.
Coffee-Freak1988: If you're not Logan then what the hell are you doing in her room while she's taking a shower?
Tristan was a little taken aback by the persons demanding question.
Mad-Maddie2005: Why does it matter? We're just going out a little later if you must know and I'm waiting for Madeline to get ready,
Coffee-Freak1988: If matters because Madeline has a boyfriend, who she is totally in love with by the way.
Mad-Maddie2005: Well how do you know I'm a not just one of her girlfriends?
Coffee-Freak1988: You don't sound like a girl.
Mad-Maddie2005: I don't?
Coffee-Freak1988: Nope. You have that distinct guy air.
Mad-Maddie2005: Are you serious?
Coffee-Freak1988: Believe me, I'm an expert at these things.
Mad-Maddie2005: If you say so…
/End Flashback/
And so they had talked, and talked, and talked. Well, mostly argued. They argued about who was smarter, and who Madeline liked better, and just bickered about pointless things. That is until Madeline finally came out of her hour-long shower and informed Tristan they had to leave.
When Tristan had asked Madeline who "Coffee-Freak1988" was, Madeline had simply smiled and told him he didn't want to know. However, after meeting the lovely Miss Gilmore… Hayden… whatever, he was more obsessed than he had been throughout the summer.
With a grin of determination, Tristan decided that no matter what, he would have her. He didn't want her to be his girlfriend or anything. He WAS Tristan DuGrey after all; he had a reputation to uphold. No, he simply wanted to get her out of his system, maybe sleep with her a few times and he would surely forget about her.
After a summer of obsessing about her, it would definitely feel good to finally get her out of his system.
So it was on. It shouldn't be hard though; no one could resist the infamous charms of Tristan DuGrey, not even Rory.
