That's Just the Way Things Work Out



Chapter 3

Tristan walked into Luke's early Saturday morning. 'Ok good she's not here. I didn't want her to see me.' He walked up to the counter and took a seat. 'Now all I have to do is wait for her to come in and maybe strike up the nerve to talk to her. After yesterday, we may be considered friends. And then she walked in, with what he assumed to be her mother. They walked right up to the counter and ordered coffee and breakfast. He watched her making every move she made from behind the menu making sure that she did not see him. And then a guy probably around his age approached him.'

"I have an idea. Why don't we try to break them up?"

"Why so Rory can fall right into your hands and be there to console her. I don't think so."

"Come on Jess, you seem like the kind of person who likes to mess with people's minds. Dean is going to be the only one to be hurt. Rory will realize that there is much better for her and move on."

"Ok fine but this is only because I hate mushroom head so much."

"Well the first step of the plan is to make Dean look like an idiot in front of a whole bunch of people and have Rory being embarrassed because of the humiliation that he caused her."

"Ok Tristan well I got a plan on how to do that. Here it is…
