PART 2: TRISTANO AND RORIET
AN: THANKS SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING! HEY, I'M SORRY IF IT TAKES ME A FEW DAYS TO UPDATE, CAUSE I'M GROUNDED AND I HAVE TO SNEAK ONTO THE COMPUTER.THANKS AGAIN!!!
~THE CRAP SHACK FRIDAY EVENING~
"Tell them I broke my leg and I can't leave my bed for three months," Lorelei yelled down the stairs.
"But what if the come here?"
There was a pause and then the sound of running. "Well then we musn't be late. Shame on you for keeping us."
"Yes mother how dare I?" Rory laughed as she hopped into the Jeep.
~GILMORE MANSION~
Ding Dong. The door opened. "A yes," said the young maid, "Miss Lorelei and Miss Rory, they are waiting in the lounge for you."
"Thanks"
"Welcome Rory! Can I get you something to drink? Lorelei a pleasure."
"Right back at ya daddyo. I'll just take whatever mom is having thanks."
"Alright, and you Rory since you are the one that I asked?"
"Just a coke, please, Grandpa."
"Never mind all that Richard, let's eat so we can get to the you-know-what!"
"Alright, Emily. Everyone to the dining room."
"Wait, what's the you-know-what?" asked Lorelei.
"You'll find out after dinner, Lorelei, be patient. It's not for you anyway it's for Rory."
Rory looked puzzled. "For me?" she asked.
"Yes darling," said Emily, "we have an end of the year present for you."
"We are giving it to you alittle early, but we'll explain more after dinner."
Dinner consisted of Lorelei shoveling food into her mouth trying to hurry everything up, as she encouraged Rory to do the same, and Emily and Richard giving her dismayed looks.
Once they had finished dinner, dessert, and coffee Richard stood up. "Well I guess we've kept you in suspense long enough. Rory would you like your present now?"
"Yes she would! Let's go!" answered Lorelei.
"Very well then get your coats, it's outside."
"Outside? Hey maybe its a horse, Rory, you always wanted a pony."
When they got outside Emily told Rory to close her eyes. "You to Lorelei, I don't want you telling her."
They guided Rory a few feet and let her open her eyes. She gasped. There, standing in front of her, was a 1999 Ford Mustang Convertible.
"Well do you like it?" asked Richard, "we bought it from our neighbor, but he never used it so it's practically new and in marvelous condition."
"Oh my gosh, thanks you guys so much! I'm speechless, you really shouldn't have."
"Well, we could have waited, but you needed a pick me up, and, besides, now you can break it in at school and you don't have to ride that dreadful bus," said Emily.
"Thank you so much Grandma and Grandma," she said giving them hugs.
"Rory, we should leave now. It's late. Nice seeing you mom, dad. Come on honey, get the keys so you can drive it home."
Richard handed her the keys. "Use it well my dear. Goodbye."
"Yes dear, see you next week."
And they left [AN:creative right? :)]
The weekend passed by uneventfully, with Lorelei using Rory's car to do 360's and spinning out in front of Luke's, driving Taylor mad.
~CHILTON SCHOOL MONDAY EXT.~
Rory could feel the gazes on her as she pulled up in her new car. She felt good, getting all this attention from her fellow Chiltonites. Even more so when she stepped out of the car. Rull of confidence, she walked through the courtyar, into the school and to her locker. There was Tristan, but he had something in his hand. What was it?
"COFFEE!!!!" Rory screamed. "Coffe Coffee Coffee Coffee!" she snatched it out of his hands. "I got coffee, I got coffee, I got coffee hey hey hey hey." [AN:this is from little rascals. very good movie] she sang dancing around.
Tristan laughed, "Yeh your welcome."
"Shh not while I'm drinking," and proceded to gulp down the coffee in two seconds. "Okay now." she said opening her locker.
Tristan laughed again. "You know Tristan, I don't think I've ever heard you laugh before. Mmh you do alot of smirking, not alot of laughing. Why is that?"
"So Rory--" Ring Ring He was cut off bye the bell.
"Come on Tristan, let's get to Shakespeare."
"Hey Tristan,"yelled a girl with her skirt way too high. Rory recognized her for Tristan's flavor of the week."Oh, gotta go Mary. I'll meet you in there."
"Okay but it's on your head." Rory walked int he class room just as the final bell rang.
"Settle down people," said Mr. Medina, "Now we've jsut finished the play 'Romeo and Juliet'. We will mow split in to groups for our projects. When I give you your numbers, please procede to the area designated. Also note that this project will take the place of your exam, and will be worth 50% of your grade."
Rory almost didn't here her name called, wondering where Tristan was. "Group Five: Paris, Madeline, Rory, Adam, Louise, and..." the door opened and in walked Tristan, noticably tousled. "...Tristan. Mr. DuGrey nice to have you, group five please."
Rory could only imagine what Tristan had been doing with that girl. She grew angry.
"So what are we doing?" asked Tristan, once they had gotten in there groups.
"You would know if you had been here," snapped Rory. The group looked at her, bewildered. That was usually Paris' line. Before anyone could answer, Mr. Medina started talking again.
"Now your group number pertains to yoru act. You will write out the script and we shall put on our production in three weeks. GO!"
"Okay well the first thing we must do is set up characters."
"Tristan should be Romeo, cause he looks the part," said Madeline.
"Oh, gag me,"mumbled Rory. Tristan raised his eyebrows at her.
"Yeh, plus if Adam did it, he's probably throw up," added Louise. Rory looked over at Adam who looked like he might throw up thinking about it.
"Alright," said Paris,"but if you mess this up I will kill you and give your body to cannibals so that noone will recongnize it, understand?" Tristan nodded. "Good because this is 50% of our grade. Now who wants to be Juliet? Madeline?"
"No definitely not. I'm doing costumes."
"Fine, Louise?"
"Uh uh, sets. The whole dieing thing isn't my jazz."
"Fine Rory, you or me?"
"I don't care Paris."
"Oh, I have an idea" said Tristan, "heads Paris, tails Rory. Ready?" Tristan flipped the coin. When it landed everyone leaned over.
"Tails," said Paris obviously relieved,"sorry Rory." Rory nodded like she didn't care.
"Well then. Where can we practice?"
"I can get Miss Patty's place, it's got a stage."
"Alright. We'll do our first practice on Wednesday. Everyone get directions from Rory. Be there at seven o'clock and come prepared."
The bell rang amd everupme scrambled out. For the rest of the day, Rory pretty much avoided Tristan, but she didn't know why. She just knew that she dint' want to see him. Finally he caught her at her locker at the end of the day.
"Hey Mary, how's it hanging?" Rory jumped at the sound of his voice. "Scare you?"
"What do you want Tristan?"
"Well I need directions to this party Wednesday don't I?"
"DuGrey get off it. You know where it is. What do you really want?" she closed her locker and started to the parking lot.
"Well I was going to ask to escort you home, but then I remembered you got a flashy nerw car. Joining the elites are we?"
"My grandparents gor me an end of the year present to cheer me up." she said looking away as tears sprung to her eyes, thinking of Dean, but they didn't fall.
"Hey Rory stop," he said pulling her face to him. "Stop, please, don't cry over jerk, he's not worth it. He's not worth you." He brushed away her tears.
The look in Tristan's eyes were of concern, Rory knew, but she was sitll hurt about this morning. She turned away to get in the car. "See you later Tristan, your fan club awaits." He looked over his shoulder at the girls that were coming towards him and was about to tell Rory exactly what he thought of them, but she had already started the car and was off.
He couldn't think of what had made her so mad at him. he had though he had won her over with the coffee, but in Mr. Medina's she'd been so cold. What had happend?
And then he remembered, Sharon. Sharon had been there right before first. And then he'd gone to class severley tousled form trying to keep her off of him long enough to tell her they were through. But Rory couldn't be upset over that could she? Maybe he had finally gotten to her. He smiled and as he pushed through his "fan club", he hatched a plan. This Shakespeare was going to work for him.
AN: Hey you guys! Please tell me what you think! I have all the way through Chapter 4 done, it's just a matter of posting! Keep those reviews coming! you guys are great! Coming up in the next two Chapters: Things get interesting as Rory and Tristan realize what they feel for each other, and Jess get's invovled, oh and a carnival, cause I love carnivals!
