A/N: Okay,here I am, again. I updated yay for me. This chapter I wrote yesterday, on the 9th because well the ninth of every month, I seem to get hurt, June 9th- broke my right wrist at a skate park, July 9th- stitches in my left hand, ::damn glass::. So I decided to stay in and write a chapter to my fanfic. Thank You very much for all your reviews! So without further delay, Chapter 4 brought to you by my Bad Luck with the number nine.

The Real World:Hartford Chapter 4

When Rory entered the apartment, the first thing she noticed were the cameras. *Wow, there must be at least 15 cameras in this room alone.*Rory thought as she looked around the gorgeous apartment in awe. "There's a lot of cameras, aren't there?" asked a red haired, brown eyed girl sitting on the couch. "Yeah." The girl got up and began to walk towards Rory. "I'm Kendal." she said as she stuck her hand ou. Rory set her bags down in front of the door and shook her hand. "I'm Rory. So where's everyone else?" "Oh they haven't gotten here yet, they're probably still picking up their keys." "I'm surprised Paris here yet, I thought she'd be the first one here." The front door opened and Paris stepped in. "What was that about me?"she asked. "I was just telling Kendal I was surprised you weren't here yet...., but now you are." "Yes, I am. So are we just supposed to leave our luggage in front of the door?" Paris asked sarcastically. "Rory looked at her for a second, then said, "Oh sorry, I'll move it." "Here let me help you," Kendal said as she picked up one of Rory's bags. Kendal and Rory headed down a long hallway until they discovered the door with a sign on it which had 'Rory' clearly printed on it. Kendal opened the door and said, "well here's your room. You're right next door from me." Rory couldn't help but notice Tristan's room was right across the hall. Rory began humming Alanis Morrisette's song 'Isn't it Ironic?' Kendal set down Rory's suitcase on the bed and noticed Rory looking at the door across the hall. *Hmmmm......* Kendal thought. "Rory?" kendal asked. Rory shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Oh sorry." Kendal and Rory got all or Rory's bags in her room and put her stuff away inot their proper drawers. Then the headed back into the livingroom. Rory plopped down onto one of the chairs in the livingroom in exhaustion. Not noticing that there was someon else sitting in the chair, Rory fell right onto their lap.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't--" "Hello Mary." "Oh it's you." "Gee, you MUST be happy to seem me, I mean to go to the point where you pratically throw yourself at me--" Rory just rolled her eyes at him. Tristan noticed that Rory still hadn't moved. Just then, Rory got up and sta down on the couch. Tristan just sat there, smirking. But inside he was disappointed that Rory moved. He had been in love with her since the moment he saw her. He wanted nothing more than to hold her, comfort her, kiss her, protect her, and be able to call her 'his Rory'. Tristan of course knew that this was never going to happen, he was always telling himself she would never, could never, fall for him the way he fell for her.

Little did he know.....

Rory's thoughts *Why do I feel disappointed that I'm not sitting with Tristan? ( A Little Voice in Rory's Head Goes) 'Because you like him, duh.' Okay, where did that come from? I know, you just need coffee Rory, you just need some coffee, yeah that's it.* Rory's thoughts were interrupted by Kendals voice...

"Okay, so everyone but Hunter and Cole are here right?" "Yeah, they said they'd be here around two. Hunter had some business to take care of and Cole went with." tristan replied. "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I am really hungry."Kendal said. "Well, since the others won't be here until two, why don't we go get some lunch?" Rory suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement, even Paris, to Rory's surprise.Everyone piled into Kendal's black SUV and they were off in search of a restaurant.About five minutes later, Paris said," I know about this place called 'Clash' . Madelin and Louise go there all the time and they say it's really great. It's just a few minutes away. "That sounds good, you ladies wannago check it out?' Tristan asked. All the girls nodded. Rory thought things were going well... Tristan wasn't acting like a jerk, at least not right now.He had his moments. Paris was acting more or less friendly towards her, and Kendal was really nice, definitely friend material. When they arrived at 'Clash' they all got out of the SUV and headed in. They sat down in a booth and Kendal quickly took a seat next to Patis, so that Rory would be forced to sit next to Tristan.*They look really cute next to each other, and I can tell they like each other. I wonder why they aren't going out?* Kendal thought. She then decided that she would ask Rory about it later in the week after they were settled a bit more. A few minutes later they ordered and fell into a converstaion about movies.

"Sleepers is my all time favorite movie aside from The Godfather of course. I mean nothing , I mean absolutely nothing can beat The Godfather." Kendal said. "The Godfather was a good movie, but my favorite movie probably would have to be The Fast and The Furious. 'Typical guy movie." Rory said. "Well, what's your favorite movie Rory?" *He actually called my Rory.* "Rory?" "Oh,um my favorite movie would probably have to be Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, nut I also love the movie Mommie Dearest. What about you Paris?" "Mine woiuld probably have to be A Beautiful Mind." "Yeah that is a good movie."Kendal said. The waiter set down their meals and began to eat. Every once in a while when he thought no one was looking, Tristan would sneak a look at Rory, and it wouldn't go unnoticed by Kendal. * Who would've thought Tristan DuGrey would fall for someone? Let's just hope Rory figures it out sometime soon.* Kendal smirked. They finished their meals and the waiter brought over their check. Tristan picked up the piece of paper and walked to the register to pay, despite the protests from the three girls. It was around 2:30 when Tristan's cell phone rang.... "Hello?' "Hey Tristan, where is everyone?" "Oh, we went out to lunch, we're on our way backm to the apartment now." "Okay, well we'll be here.See ya." "Bye." "That was Hunter, he and Cole got to the apartment and no one was there so they were just wondering where everyone was." "I have an idea." Kendal siad. Everyone looked at Kendal. "You know how we were talking about movies at 'Clash'?" "Yeah." Everyone said in unison. "Why don't we go get the movies we all said were our favorites and have like a movie night." Kendal suggested. "That would be cool."Rory said. "Yeah, that sounds good." Paris said. "I'm game." Tristan siad. "Well maybe we should pick up Hunter and Cole so they can pick out a movie too." Rory said. "Yeah, I'll call them and tell them the plan, and to be ready." Tristan said. Tristan called Hunter and Cole and soon enough there were six people sitting in an SUV on their way to a video store.

On the way.... "I'm Hunter." he directed to the girls in the vehicle. "I'm Kendal, this is Rory, and this is Paris." Kendal said pointing to each girl. "Hi" Rory and Paris said in unison. (They did the same thing with Cole.)

At the Video Store..... Rory walked up and down the aisles looking for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but when she came to the spot where it was supposed to be, it was empty. "Looking for this?" asked a familiar voice from behind her...Tristan. "So you took the last copy of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?" "Yeah, I thought that you would want it so I picked it up.' "Thanks," Rory said as she went to take the tape from Tristan. Tristan pulled it away, "What are you gonna give me for it?" "Great, okay Tristan what do you want?" "It's plain and simple really Mary I want a kiss." "Tristan, it may be my favorite movie, but it's not worth putting myself throught that much torture." 'Oh come one Mary, one little kiss and you get your movie." 'Fine." Rory said as she pulled Tristan down into a kiss. Neither Tristan or Rory could deny the sparks that flew when their lips met. To Tristan, it was a dream. To Rory, it was an awakenning. The kiss ended and Rory grabbed the tape from Tristan's hand, and said"thank you", leaving Tristan standing there in shock. Rory met up with everyone and they asked each other what they had picked out. "Where's Tristan?" Hunter asked. "Right here." Tristan said as he walked towards the group. "Okay, are we ready to go?" Kendal asked. Everyone nodded. After they left the video store, everyone decided they should get snacks considering there wasn't anything to eat or drink at the apartment yet. The group arrived back at the apartment around 5:30 and got comfortable in their chosen seats. Cole got up and stood in front of the TV and asked, "is everyone ready and comfortable?" Everyone said "yeah " in unison. "Okay then." he said, and then pressed play and sat down.
