After school, Tristan was going to drive Rory home. But she persuaded him to stop at Luke's for some coffee.

"Hey-loo Luke!" Rory entered the diner cheerfully.

They sat down on the stools at the counter and Luke just stared at Tristan.

"Who is he?" He asked her as if Tristan wasn't even sitting there.

"Luke, this is Tristan DuGrey..."

"I've heard about him. Is he giving you trouble, because I can take care of that. Remeber bag boy? I took care of him. And I have a few more tricks up my sleeve."

"No, it's okay Luke. He's not giving me any trouble. Can we just have two coffees to go please?" Rory asked.

He reluctantly poured the two coffees. And handed them to Tristan. "Thank you sir." This was the first time he had spoken since they entered the diner strangly marked 'Hardware'.

"Uhuh." As soon as the two were out the door, Tristan looked at Rory weird.

"Is he ALWAYS like that?"

"Yea, pretty much. But he's nice. He's just a tiny bit over protective that's all." They sipped their hot coffees.

"Oh, btw... why is the diner marked 'Hardware'? Is that to throw off strange tourists who might want a bite to eat and a cup of coffee?" Tristan chuckled.

"It's pretty much a long story. But its just there." Rory engaged herself into drinking the coffee after she linked her arm with his. They decided to park Tristan's BMW and walk around the town a little bit. Rory secretly prayed that they wouldn't see Dean anywhere and they pretty much stayed clear of the grocery store he worked at. They went to go sit in the gazebo that was located in the middle of town.

"Rory..." Tristan began looking her way. She looked at him attentively signaling that she was listening. "Thank you for giving me a chance." She got up and hugged him. "What was that for?"

"For letting me give you a chance." She smiled broadly at him.

Tristan and Rory have been going out a month now. And they both were in pure bliss. What could be better? Now, it was lunch time and Tristan was going to meet Rory at the court-yard. But as he turned the corner from his locker, someone called his name. He turned around to see Summer. Yes Summer calling him and running toward him. He hadn't talked to her since they broke up at Madeline's party. And now suddenly she was chasing and calling his name. He didn't want to talk to her. He didn't want to see her. He wanted to go be with Rory.

Tristan turned back the way he was headed and kept walking. Even though he had no feelings for Summer when they were going out. He was a little bit hurt when she and that damned Austin guy hooked up. He hated them both and loved Rory.

"Trisquit wait!" Summer yelled after him. Trisquit was his play name that Summer used to call him when they were still going out, what seemed like years ago. Tristan stopped dead in his tracks and didn't turn to face her until she was right behind him.

"NEVER call me that ever again! Ever! Do you understand me!? I don't want to talk to you! I don't want to see you. Believe it or not, the day you broke up with me, I was hurt. Even though I had no feelings for you, WHATSOEVER! And I hated the way you talked shit about Rory when I told you we were going out. So get the hell out of my face." He turned around and stormed out to the courtyard leaving Summer crying in the middle of the hallway. 'where's her Austin now when she's crying like a pitiful fool!' Tristan thought to himself.

He found Rory sitting the bench reading a book. The moment he saw her, all the anger that had just poured into him disappeared. It was as if there were no problems in his life. Like his parents didn't fight, like Summer never confronted him, like everything was just Tristan and Rory. Rory looked up and saw Tristan looking at her. She smiled at him and he stepped out of his trance of rory.
