Note from moi : This is my first attempt at a GG/Trory Fan fic, so please be gentle :)

Disclaimer : I own zilch. Only whatever extra characters I may add in the future and the storyline are mine. Suing me will get you some fuzz from the emptiness that is my pockets. So not worth it.

Feedback : please. it would mean bunches to me :)

Spoilers : pretty much anything up to (excluding) Run Away, Little Boy. I live in denial, therefore Tristan has not and will not leave. I like it that way.



"Baby, Be Mine"
Chapter 01



Tristan DuGrey was fighting a losing battle. Glancing at the clock for the umpteenth time in the past five minutes, his eyes began to droop and his head coming closer to his desk as the seconds ticked by. On the outer edge of his consciousness he heard something that jerked him back to reality.

Rory Gilmore.

The one girl he allowed himself to admit to himself he loved. It had started out innocently, just harmless teasing, it was expected of him. But as the time wore on, Tristan found himself increasingly taken with her. There was just something different, a diverse aura about her that he had become enamored with. She wasnt anything like those he was used to, something new, something fresh. And she didn't want anything to do with him.

Stifling a yawn, Tristan tuned into the conversation the two girls behind him were having, wondering why they had mentioned Rory.

"I heard that her mom is taking her out of Chilton. At least thats what Andrea heard at the country club," the blond was whispering to her friend.

"I wonder why. Maybe she finally got the hint that she isnt welcome here. I mean, her mother works at an inn for God's sake," the other girl whispered back, causing them both to errupt in giggles.

Tristan rolled his eyes heavenward and sighed. But then his heart stopped, Rory leaving Chilton? It had to just be gossip, it had to! She was the only thing he bothered getting up and coming to school everyday for. Just to see her at her locker from afar, brightened his drab life considerably. But what if it was true? What could he do about it? More importantly, why would she leave? Above anybody else there, she deserved to be at this school. Letting his thoughts wander from the subject Mrs Chastiny was droning on about, he realized that Rory hadn't even been in school for the past week. The bile began to rise in his throat, afraid to even wonder why. Even though they weren't even close to being considered friends, he vowed to himself to find out what was going on and silently prayed that nothing bad happened to her.





Okay, I know this is a short chapter, but give me a break for now :) Think of this one as the "prologue" of sorts. Future chapters will be longer, I promise! I appreciate all feedback, the good, the bad, the in between. Constructive critisim is always welcome. I'll have more soon.
