A/N: The song is by New Found Glory. I recommend listening to it if you haven't already.

All Downhill From Here

Girls were attracted to him. That was evident in the way they walked away from Tristan to get a look at the new student. His skin was tanned to perfection and his blue-gray eyes had a twinkle in them that kept him looking mysterious. He wore all black, he wasn't in a Chilton uniform.

Rory leaned against Colin's locker which was close to the new students' locker. A group of girls were crowded around the new guy. Rory rolled her eyes. She didn't understand how girls could instantly be in love with him when he hadn't even been there that long.

Jess, Logan, and Caleb all walked over. "What's going on here?" Logan asked.

"Tristan has some competition." Colin wrapped an arm around Rory's shoulder and the five of them walked to lunch. He had become very protective of Rory in school since he found out about what Tristan did.

"It's about time." Logan looked at a blond girl walking by and smiled at her. Rory hit him in the stomach. "What was that for?"

"You have a girlfriend." Logan rolled his eyes. "Don't do that. If you don't want to be with her break up with her."

"I can't. I love her." The four other stopped walking.

"Did Logan Huntzberger just say that he was in love?" Caleb shook his head. "She's changed you."

"And it's for the better." Jess clapped him on the shoulder. "You're becoming a better a man." He wiped away a fake tear. "I'm so proud."

"Lay off guys." Logan walked off, clearly embarrassed. The other four just laughed and hurried to catch up with him.

At lunch Rory was sitting between Colin and Jess when Logan and Caleb came over to the table. Rory looked up to see Finn standing with them. She looked at Caleb and raised an eyebrow. "This is Finn Morgan. He's new here. He'll be sitting with us."

"Hey." Came the reply from Jess and Colin. Rory just looked at him. He was very attractive she would admit that. She looked back over at Caleb and shook her head then picked up the book she was currently reading and flipped it open.

"This is Colin, Rory, and Jess." He said hi to each of them. He looked at Rory. She was a natural beauty, and she wore no make-up. Her auburn colored hair was down and the little bit of red that was in it shone beautifully, but her blue eyes held a pain that he didn't think belonged there.

Rory got up and walked off, Colin got up to follow her. He knew she wasn't comfortable with a new person added to the group. Especially a male right now. He just hoped that she would be able to get over it, he didn't want her acting like this all the time. She didn't trust men because of Tristan. She was starting to believe that all men were liars and that wasn't a good thing.

"Who is she?" Finn asked as Rory walked off.

"That's Rory. She's my little sister." Caleb leaned back in his seat. He wasn't too worried about her walking off. She had a lot going on right now. It wasn't really fair of him to bring Finn over here without warning her.

"She looks like she's pained."

"She is." Caleb shot Jess a warning look before he could say anything.

"Why? Or do I not need to ask?"

"No it's fine." Caleb sighed. "If you're going to hang out with us it's probably best you know." He pointed at Tristan. "He's the reason. He made her believe he loved her just to get her in bed. It was all over a stupid bet."

"Damn." He looked over at Tristan. "Why isn't he black and blue?"

"We're waiting for the right time to get him back."

"No. We're waiting for Rory to not be around so she doesn't have to see it." Jess smirked. He wanted to kill Tristan for what he did to Rory but he didn't want her to see it happen.

Tristan looked over at Finn. He noticed the way he had looked at Rory. He seemed to have a thing for her already. He didn't like that the new kid was taking away all his girls. Maybe he would have a little bit more fun with Rory, but first he would have to figure out what was going between her and the guy who was always hanging on her. He just hoped they weren't going out. It would make having fun just a little difficult..

BA

Finn looked at the spot Rory was sitting at earlier. She looked so strong but so broken. To him she looked like a broken angel, a broken angel that he just had to have. He would have to fix her first though. He was willing to do anything possible to make sure she would no longer be broken. He wanted to see her smile. He may have just met the girl but he was already taken by her. To him, she was perfect.

A/N: Okay so I know this chapter was short but I can't rush this. I was told I need longer chapters on my stories but if my chapters come out longer than the story will be rushed and then it won't be as good.

As always, let me know if anything is wrong, if I can do anything to better this story, or if there is anything you want to see.
