The rest of the day went by quickly. She dreaded the hour she had to board the bus and get home to see the place she and Dean used to meet. She loved Dean, she really did, but he wasn't giving her space. Again she was feeling like she had to get out, it was moving to fast. But, the way Tristin was acting wasn't cool. She could tell that he liked her but she didn't feel the same. Before today they never even hung out. She could see being friends with him but nothing more, at least for the time being. She got her books and went to the bus to see Tristin sitting there. "Tristin what are you doing here?" Rory inquired.
"It's a public bus, right?" he replied.
"Seriously though, I thought that maybe we should hang out. Plus I was bored so I'm like I always enjoyed riding on buses! But I do have a Porsche in the parking lot if you would care for a ride?" he said.
"Um...sorry but maybe another day. You go in your car and I'll go on the bus. You'll go home and call me."
"But, how will I get your number?"
"I'll give it to you. Here."
"I like that plan."
"OK bye." And he got off the bus. She watched as he went speeding away in his sports car. He wasn't so annoying. But definitely not date material. Earlier she was coffee deprived; she never really cared what he thought of her. When she got home she went to Luke's and got some coffee and ran into Dean on the way out. "Rory we've got to talk. You dumped me today and I was so angry. I got asked out by this girl in my class and said yes. But I won't go unless we're really over. Are we?"
"Dean, we're not over forever. We just need time. You go on a date I'll go on some dates we'll play the field. But at the end of the day I will always love you. So go and have a blast. But, don't build her a car or let her order spaghetti and meatballs." Dean smiling pecked her on the cheek
"Thanks." She walked home to see her mom lying on the couch screaming at the T.V. "Hun, a boy named Tristin called a billion times."
"Thanks."
"Do you love him?"
"Mom!"
"Sorry good question though."
"Funny." She went up stairs and called Tristin with the number her mom gave her. "Hi is Tristin there?"
"Yeah, speaking."
"Hey it's Rory."
"Hey what's up? I told you I'd call! I'm a man of his word."
"Yeah so you are."
"Rory do you want to hang out tomorrow?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because we aren't friends yet. Give me some more time to like you."
"Ok but can I drive you home?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"'Cause we don't have school tomorrow!"
"Right."
"Bye."
"Bye." Tristin hung up the phone and got in his car. It was still early he could make it to Stars Hollow by dinner. But, he didn't know where Stars Hollow was. He decided just to take his Palm Pilot with him. He would get the directions as he went. Rory would be mad but maybe she would understand how much he likes her.

What will Rory's reaction be? What will happen on Dean's date? Do you really care? If so keep reading as I write more! P.S. This wasn't exactly as good as I thought. P.P.S Heather you a ma-H*e B*tch Oh and if you don't have anything nice to say shove it! (lol)
