A/N: Nick and Nora, Sid and Nancy (episode 204) hasn't happened yet. This
story will be leading up to ep.204. We are at the beginning of season two
in this story except that Rory never said I love you to Dean so he's out of
the picture. Tristan hasn't gone to Military School yet but won't be one of
Rory's love interests; he'll only be a friend. Max is long gone and Lorelei
is still single. This may turn out to be a Javajunkie as well as a
Literati, depending on YOU. Here we go! I hope you enjoy the ride.
Chapter One
"So, as a result of this project, our class will spend a day in New York." Ms.Henkel said. "And don't think that just because we are off of school property you may do as you please. This will strictly be a school project, nothing else. Make sure you capture every detail of the way New Yorkers act around strangers. But please, try not to get into any trouble. If the man or woman does not want to answer any of your questions, leave them be. You don't want to get mugged. Be ready to board the bus by 7:15, Monday morning. Class dismissed."
All thirty kids, including Rory Gilmore, fled out of the classroom. 'Ah. Friday afternoon. Is there anything more pleasant?' Rory thought to herself as she walked to her locker.
Rory closed her locker after getting her coat and books out. "Hey partner." A voice came from behind her. She turned around. Tristan. She couldn't believe Ms.Henkel put Rory and Tristan together for the project. A whole day in New York, spent with Tristan by her side. It was going to be hell on Monday.
"What do you want Tristan?" Rory asked coldly.
"Woah Mary! What's the matter? Did Bag-Boy dump you or something?" Tristan asked.
"It's none of your business. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get out of here or I'll miss my bus." Rory started walking away.
A minute later, Rory reached the bus stop only to see it driving away. "Dammit Tristan!" Rory yelled in frustration.
"Missed your bus, huh?" Tristan smirked.
Rory jumped in surprise. She thought she was alone, but of course, when it came to Chilton and Tristan, she was never alone. "Can I help you?" Rory asked in sarcastic kindness.
"No, but I can help you."
"I doubt there's any way you can help me."
"Well, I do have a car. Need a ride?"
"I'd rather wait for the bus, thanks." Rory said without a bit of kindness running through her voice. She sat on one side of the bench and checked her watch. Another forty minutes until the next bus to Stars Hollow would come.
"Are you sure you don't want a ride? I bet that deep down inside, you do." Tristan moved from behind the bench, and sat next to Rory.
She thought for a moment. 'A ride would be nice, albeit it's Tristan offering. The bus won't be here for almost an hour. Then it will take another hour to get to Stars Hollow. However with Tristan, it will only be half of an hour. Hmm.' "So, where's your car?"
