Chapter 2
"Boring, boring, boring," Tristan grumbled as he flipped through the channels on the TV. He shut it off deciding to finally get around to that homework he had promised himself he'd do "later". Pulling out his US History book, Tristan paused. He had the assignment written down. Somewhere. But why bother to find it when he could just call Rory?
It had been two days since he had called her last for the French assignment. He hadn't really spoken to her since so what better excuse to call her, to talk to her, then to call asking for another assignment? He quickly dialed her number. He was quite certain he was going crazy.
"Gilmore residence," Rory answered.
"Tristan Dugray speaking. Rory Gilmore there?"
"Tristan?" Rory said. Tristan could tell there was a hint of surprise in her voice. He couldn't tell if it was good or bad though and so his mind quickly analyzed all the possibilities. However, Tristan tried his hardest to tune them all out.
"That's me. I left my.History assignment in my locker. Can you help a poor guy out and let him on what it is?"
Sighing she responded, "Sure."
She gave him the assignment and wrote it down. Afterwards he decided to strike up some conversation.
"So, what are you doing now, that is, before I called."
"Trig homework. You know what the assignment was for the class right?"
Tristan grinned before responding, "Yeah, yeah I do. So how's it going?"
"Okay until you called," Rory answered. He could picture her bright blue eyes growing larger as she raised her eyebrows. She'd done it many times before. She always looked cute when she did that. Especially when she turned afterwards with her hair bouncing and flowing down her back.
"I know, I ruined your concentration. That's normal. I tend to do that. Most people just can't stop thinking about me."
"I can't stop thinking about how big that ego of yours is and how your physical self can even fit in the same room as the other."
"See? Told you," he said smirking. Then he changed the subject. "So, have you done the US History homework yet?"
"Yes and no you can't copy."
"I wasn't suggesting that. I was just simply asking."
"Oh," Rory said and paused. "Well yes."
"Okay well, I was reading over some pages earlier on imports and exports and I wanted to share my opinion. I mean they keep mentioning tea. What was so great about it? What about coffee? That's the good stuff."
"Have to agree with you there," Rory said.
"Well I don't know about you but I want to know how they made it through a day without coffee. I'd go insane."
"I don't think I could make it 24 hours."
"Me either. Keeps me going."
"Where do you get your coffee?" Rory asked.
"Starbucks. There's one on the way to school."
"That's nothing. You haven't experienced the good stuff until you've gone to Luke's here in Stars Hollow. My mom and I live by his stuff."
"I'll have to remember that if I'm ever passing through."
"You should, his is the best."
"I'm sure."
He heard a sigh from Rory. "I can't believe we've had a conversation without insulting each other."
"Me either," Tristan said smiling.
"Well, I've gotta finish up this homework but I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. And thanks for the homework assignment."
Tristan replaced the phone on the hook and dropped onto the couch. Maybe he had a chance to be friends with Rory after all. Maybe even more. He hoped so. As he stared at the ceiling, he began to formulate a plan. There had to be a way to win over Rory Gilmore.
