Rory got up and thought to herself *joy another year of tristin and Paris making my life a living hell* It was her second year at Chilton and she had a feeling it wouldn't be any better than the first. She dressed and sees a note on the table from her mom *Sorry Hun couldn't sleep at Luke's see you after school**ugh* Rory thought*I need moral support* She went to the bus station and got on the bus. She saw her boyfriend dean sitting there saving her a seat. "Hey," he said and have her a little kiss. She frowned over the past week she had been avoiding his calls, it was like he hadn't noticed, and she wanted to brake up with him but didn't think she had the heart. "Hey," she said sounding a bit distant. Dean noticed "I was trying to avoid this but screw it, what the hell did I do? You won't return my phone calls you won't kiss me. What's up?" They didn't speak till his stop, as he was about to step off the bus "We're over Dean," she screamed. Looking out the window she saw him in a state of utter shock. * What did I do* he thought. But he would have to wait till later the bell was about to ring.
Chilton
*That was easy, now to start this New Year*she turned the corner to her assigned homeroom and saw hell. Tristin was in her homeroom along with Paris, Louise, and Madeline. "Hey Rory," said Tristin. *He used my name? Well I guess over the summer he learned to spell* "Hey tristin long time no see, but no complaints her," she said with a joking tone. "Well while I was in Hawaii getting love from the natives you were far from my mind," he responded in the same tone. *Bad move DuGrey, swift * She got her locker assignment from her advisor, Mr. Medina, who didn't look thrilled to see her considering she rejected his proposal. She went to her locker that was right next to Tristin * Joy a familiar face, whoa its Tristin what am I saying? * "Hey Rory, can I see your schedule?" he asked, "same as mine I guess we'll be inseparable this year." * Yeah, all year with Rory Gilmore, now all I have to do is be nice * "Great," she said happily. "Yea see you in first period, I'll save you a seat," He said walking off with a silly grin on his face. He didn't care he was friends with Rory Gilmore. * Tristin is being so nice to me, I thought last year after I rejected him for dean he'd be pissed* She walked into class to see a seat saved for her right next to Tristin. "Hey thanks," she said sitting down. "No prob.," he answered. Mr. Medina came into class and said that instead of rushing into the curriculum he would allow them to socialize for the whole period. Cheers went echoing through the room. Tristin said "Rory Gilmore will you socialize with me?" " Mr. DuGrey I would be honored" she answered giggling. So for about 15 minutes they talked about he summer. He went to Hawaii she stayed home. "With Dean?" "Yeah actually," she said shyly. "Oh," he said with a hurt look. "But, we won't be hanging out anymore, we broke up,"she said. "Sorry," he said with a huge smile on his face. The rest of the period they talked about everything. As they were leaving he put his arm around her and said "Rory this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, just like you," he said his head in the clouds. "WHAT?!?!?" she said. " Just kidding your kind of uptight in the morning. "Oh haha," she said trying to squeeze out a laugh. * Damn * She thought.
