AU- Rory and Tristan grew up together, living side by side all of their lives.
Feed back- is like food- the way to a writer's soul )
Note- I used the whole email idea…because I just think it's so cute, plus I needed a way to get out the rules…
Changes
Tristan Dugrey turned the key in the ignition and smiled as it started with ease.
It was a beautiful car.
He pulled out of the drive way- coming face to face with Rory Gilmore, who was pulling out as well.
He took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed her number- before she got to speak he said, "Mary- ride with me…"
"No," she answered, passing him with her jaguar.
"Was that a challenge?" he smirked.
"You can't beat me," she said into the phone, and then hung up.
The race was a close one but Rory won, triumphantly closing the door after getting out of the car. Tristan pulled into a space beside hers and frowned.
"Cheater," he accused, jumping out of his viper.
She shook her head, "sore loser."
He smiled, and pulled her into an all too familiar hug. There was no one around… and Rory was looking good in her Yankees sports jacket with her hair tied in a high ponytail.
She pulled away from him before he could lay his lips on hers, and patted his shoulder. "See you in school Dugrey."
He watched her walk away and raised his eyebrow in shock. Shaking his head- he followed not too shortly after her.
Rory walked into the building-and was met by the grand entrance of all eyes on her. She brushed off the many winks of men, and strolled casually to her locker.
"Rory," a voice asked from behind her.
She sucked her teeth, rolled her eyes and turned around- almost simultaneously. "David?"
He moved closer to her- a smiled plastered on his lips. "Listen- I was wondering if you wanted to go to the game with me tomorrow?" when she didn't say a word he continued, "I know that I haven't been the best of guys- but I really want to make it up to you…what do you say?"
Rory was about to cuss him out like she never did before when she caught sight of a familiar blonde greeting a familiar Boston fan. She averted her eyes from Asia and Tristan, and forced a small smile. "I'll go, but it's not a date."
He smirked, "sure…not a date."
She nodded reluctantly, and continued to rummage through her locker.
Interesting…
By the end of fourth bell Paris Gellar was completely exhausted and she showed just that by plummeting down on her group of friends, who were all sprawled out on the grass. It was the usual spot for lunch when the weather was still nice, and although Paris usually complained about eating outside- today she wanted nothing more than to sleep on blanket that was laid out on the grass.
"That test was hard," she complained, frowning.
Rory scrunched her face together, and closed her book. "Did Paris Gellar just say a test was…hard?" she gasped dramatically, and held a hand over her heart, "boy- I think I'm about to have a mild heart attack."
Paris glared, and shot back, "you'll be in a coma if you don't shut your trap."
"Ladies," Kyle interrupted, holding up his hand with a smirk, "no need for hostility."
Both girls glared at him.
Tristan spread his legs over the blanket, and closed his eyes. "I'm tired."
"Me too," Louise replied, falling back on him and laying her head on his chest.
"We should all just bunk the rest of the day and go to my house," Chris suggested, lounging between Paris and Madeline.
Silence…
"I have a test next period," Rory stated lamely.
"Me too," Paris said.
"Internship," Louise and Madeline said in unison.
"I have a date with Ms. Callosoko," Kyle stated proudly.
All eyes turned to him, but he continued to smile. "Gross…" the girls hissed, but then turned to look at Tristan, who was snoring lightly.
"Okay…" Chris shrugged, "it was just a suggestion."
Paris rolled her eyes, "well next time you suggest something so idiotic…don't."
Chris glared.
"Hey everyone," came a giddy voice that made Rory cringe.
Tristan's eyes slowly opened, and this didn't go unnoticed by a glaring Rory.
"Can I sit?" Asia asked, smiling widely.
"There's no room," Paris interjected, "go away!"
Now normally Paris wouldn't say something like that to Asia- it's not like she didn't like the girl, but she just wasn't in the mood for the happy go lucky chic at the moment.
Rory tried to force back a smile.
Louise snickered.
Tristan looked horrified…
Madeline frowned slightly, but shrugged it off.
Chris laughed…loudly.
And Kyle glared at Paris- openly. "You can stay Asia- Paris is on her period."
Paris moved to choke him, but Chris grabbed her by the waist- still laughing. "Come on sweets…relax."
Paris mellowed at his touch, and sucked her teeth, "whatever…"
There was something about the way Chris touched her that made her go insane.
Asia felt overwhelmed, but sat down between Kyle and Tristan- as if they were her protectors.
Rory scoffed. "Well," she said, getting up and taking her bag, "I'm going to the library before the bell rings."
Tristan watched the brunette walk away, and sighed…
"What's wrong with her?" Chris asked, wrapping an arm around Paris's shoulder, "she's been acting weird."
Louise sighed, "She's fine."
Chris accepted this, and said, "so…after the game tomorrow- my house?"
Chuckles filled the air.
Meanwhile- Rory Gilmore was engrossed in a book, and Tristan silently crept over to her.
"You read that book three times," he stated, sitting beside her.
She smiled slowly, wiping the tears from her eyes. "And it still makes me cry."
He couldn't help but wipe a fallen tear, and kiss her cheek.
She backed away slowly, and looked around her- most of the library was empty…
"What are you doing here?"
He shrugged, but his eyes never left hers, "checking up on you."
"I'm fine," she sighed, and closed her book.
He frowned, "you sure?"
"Yeah…"
He nodded softly, and said, "Are we still on for movie night?"
She bit her lip, and said, "I forgot it was tonight."
He pursed his lips… "Every Thursday since we were twelve…"
"I know," she sighed, "but I made plans."
A frown… "Plans"
"Yeah, plans…"
It was an awkward moment.
"Okay," he shrugged, "I mean…things change."
Now it was her turn to frown- "I can cancel."
"No," he insisted, "it's okay."
She softly nodded, and grabbed her bag, "class is starting."
He wanted to grab her wrist and make her stay. This was the third time that day that she walked away from him. But he didn't…
Things change…
Done
