Previously on Fast and the Furious:
"Rory, what's going on?" He asked seriously.
"I made out with Tristan," She blurted out.

"You what!" He asked sharply.
"You heard me," She mumbled, leaning her head back on the side of the pool.
"When did this happen?"
"Today, in the library," She told him, eyes closed.
"You mean the same time that you made up with Jess?"
"About five seconds before, actually."
"Jeez, who knew you would have such a productive day. First you made out with Tristan than you made up with Jess," He teased.
Rory glared at him before sighing deeply and sinking under the surface.

The next day at Chilton, during lunch Rory snuck out of the cafeteria and debated where to go. After yesterday's events in the library she was too scared to go back.
It was a beautiful day and Rory decided to go outside. She wandered around the back of the school and laid down on the bleachers, she soon got hot and took of her jacket and unbuttoned her shirt, leaving her in her tank top underneath.
She laid there with her eyes closed and her face in the sunshine and was finally relaxed for the first time in a couple of days.
Of course it wouldn't last.
She felt a shade above her and opened her eyes, she saw Tristan standing above her and sighed.
"You're blocking my sunlight," She said, eyes closed again.
"Throwing in some tanning in the middle of the school day? What do you usually do, strip down and sunbath normally? Because honestly I wouldn't mind," He teased, sitting down next to her.
"Nope, usually I just lay naked," She retorted, sitting up and looking at him. They were silent for a moment before Tristan broke his gaze.
"I guess you and Jess are back together?"
"Yea," She said laughing bitterly for a moment, "we're perfect."
"I'm happy for you," He tried to tell her honestly, hating himself for saying it.
"Yeah right, you would like nothing better than to screw Jess over by screwing me. It's fine, you can tell him about yesterday for all I care," She scoffed.
She stood up and grabbed her jacket, walking away while buttoning up her shirt.
"I wouldn't do that," He said, getting up and following her.
"You want to, though,"
"Want to? Maybe. I won't though,"
"Why not?" She asked suddenly, turning around and facing him, he stopped abruptly, trying not to run into her.
"What?"
"Why not?"
"Because, you don't deserve that," He answered truthfully. She stared at him skeptically before turning around and began to walk away again.
"You don't know what I deserve or not,"
"I know that through thick or thin you are a good person," He protested.
"Really and how do you know that?" She asked once again turning around to face him.
"Because I know you Rory, I knew you when you were still a bookworm that never talked to anyone. I remember when you used to blush when I flirted with you," He said in a low voice, gently caressing her cheek as she stared mesmerized at him.
"What happened to that girl?" He asked softly.
"She cheated on her boyfriend with you in the library," Rory said coldly, backing away from him suddenly and hurrying towards the school. She stopped and turned to look at him once more.
"This is the new me and this is my school now, with my boyfriend. You'd better get used to it," She suggested distantly, before turning away.

"Where did you disappear to?" Austin asked when she sat down back at her table with Jess and their friends.
"Just needed some air," She said softly.
Everyone went back to their conversations, but Austin continued to stare at Rory, knowing that she didn't get that look on her face from just 'getting some air'.
A few minutes later Tristan walked in with a distant look on his face and sat down.
"Coach wanted to see you?" Austin asked him.
"Nope, just needed some air," Tristan responded evenly. Austin looked at Rory sharply while she just stared down at the table top. Fortunately no one else seemed to notice.
"Back on the football team?" Ian asked Tristan, trying to break the tension at the table.
"So, did Rory have a nickname at Chilton before I came here that I didn't hear yet?" Jess interrupted before Tristan could answer. Everyone froze at the table, staring at either Rory or Tristan.
Rory's head flew up and she stared at Austin who had the same 'deer-caught-in-the-headlights' look that she had.
"Uh...why do you ask?" Ian asked, recovering faster than everyone else.
"Mary." Jess stated, never taking his eyes off Tristan, who was looking at Rory. There was a short silence while people were waiting to see what happened next.
"It was my nickname for her. No one else was aloud to call her Mary. Virgin Mary, in case you didn't figure that out. Because she used to blush whenever I talked to her. And the fact that she freaked out when we kissed," Tristan answered steadily, staring right back at Jess.
As he finished that last sentence, everyone else at the table eyes' widened.
"Tristan!" Rory yelled at the same time Jess turned to Rory.
"You dated him?!"
"I didn't date him, we just kissed at a party!" Rory insisted.
"Just kissed, that hurts Mary," Tristan said smirking.
"Her fucking name is Rory," Jess said threateningly to Tristan, who just held up his hands in mock surrender.
"She doesn't seem to mind, now do you, Mary?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her, smirking.
"I do mind, Jess can I please talk to you...away from him?" Rory pleaded, Jess got up and Rory jumped up to follow him, not before sending Tristan a withering glare.
Tristan sat back in his chair with a satisfied smirk.
"All apart of your plan, Tristan?" Austin asked him ominously.
A/N: No i didn't fall into a hole and die. I was in the production of Cinderella and it just ended before Christmas, every chance I had to study I took...and I'm failing three subjects so that tells you how much time I've had lately. I'm so sorry it took so long. The play is over now and I'm taking a break from extra-curricular activities right now so I'll have time to write.
If I still have readers out there, thank you all for reading, please tell me that you thought!!
