Summary: When Tristan forgets a homework assignment one day, he calls Rory. Who knew that a phone call could result in civil conversation between the two? And later on.friendship? Maybe more? Read to see.

Author's Note: First off - I'm very sorry for the mistakes in Chapter 1, I do all my writing at night and as it turns out I wrote and edited at 3 am. However, I uploaded an edited version but it's the same thing, just makes more sense to the normal person lol. Also, this chapter is another short one but I promise the next one will be longer! So enjoy and please review!

Second Author's Note: I forgot to mention in the previous chapters, but this would take place after Rory and Dean broke up b/c they are not together.



Chapter 3

Tristan stood at his locker and began taking out his books as he watched Rory Gilmore walk out of the building. As she passed through the huge doors leading outside and walked out of sight, he shut his locker with a bang.

For the last two weeks Tristan had called Rory every few days asking for various assignments. He always made up some excuse. During the first week Tristan thought she seemed suspicious and was slightly worried she'd question him about all the phone calls. However, she never did ask him about his motives whether it was because she forgot or didn't care anymore. This past week they had both grown more comfortable talking to each other - on and off the phone. Not only was Tristan talking to her for a few minutes every few days on the phone but they talked at school now. And not just when throwing insults at the other. Tristan was afraid to jinx it but he thought he might actually have a friendship - although still growing - with Rory.

Today was going to be one of the days in which he was planning on calling Rory. And this time he had a whole other plan.

Tristan walked out to his car and climbed in. As he drove home he prayed his idea would work.

When he arrived home he ran inside eager yet nervous. He had never felt this way about a girl or allowed a girl to have the amount of power Rory had over him before. It just added to his already nervous mind. And he was Tristan Dugray. He wasn't ever supposed to be nervous. Especially when it came to girls.

Picking up the phone, he dialed her number. By now he knew it by heart. On the first ring Rory answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me, Tristan," he said.

"Oh, hey Tristan."

"So it looks like I skipped out of Chem without bothering to write down the homework."

"Oh well, we needed to read chapter 9 and take notes for tomorrow. Mrs Stinston also suggested the chapter review since we may have a quiz. Meaning, we most definitely will."

"Okay," Tristan said confirming he had written down the assignment.

"Oh no," he said seconds later hoping Rory would ask about the comment he just made. Which she did. He knew she would.

"What's wrong?"

"I left my Chem book in my locker."

There was a pause and before Tristan could ask, Rory suggested, "Why don't you come over and borrow mine?"

"If you wouldn't mind," Tristan said nonchalantly although he was jumping up and down inside.

"Of course not," Rory replied.

She gave him directions to her house and then they ended their conversation.

"Well it looks like I'll finally get a chance to see this famous Stars Hollow," Tristan commented.

"Looks like it."

"See you in a few."

"Yeah, in a few."

They hung up and Tristan jumped up out of his chair. He couldn't wait to start over.
