Recap:
When Rory got out of the pool, she dried off and put on her jeans. "Hey DuGrey." Rory said from behind him. "Hey Rory........." Tristan trailed off.
Chapter 2:
"They finally let you out, I see." Rory laughed, looking him up and down 'Military school did his body good'
"I... ugh... yeah" Tristan finally managed to spit out. Rory just smirked..... HIS smirk. Tristan started smiling, she look so cute with his smirk on her face..... she looked cute anyway. Rory coughed and Tristan got snapped back into reality.
"Did Santa neglect to get you a brain for Christmas, Tristan?" Rory giggled.
"Yeah, I guess so!" Tristan smirked, mirroring Rory. They both laughed.
"You want to know, don't you?" Rory asked, looking down.
"Yeah......" Tristan told her, 'I wanna know what happened to my Mary.....'
"Come on..... we'll go for a drive." Rory told him, grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers.
They drove around for about 30 minutes in Tristan's eclipse, before they finally parked at a park. Rory got out of the car and ran to the swings. Tristan followed her soon after.
"It feels like you've been gone a lot longer than 6 months....." Rory told him, still swinging.
"A lot's changed.....," Rory continued, not waiting for his reply, "The month after you left, my mom met a guy. I really couldn't stand him, so when they got engaged, I asked my dad to adopt me. Summer's mom and my dad were good friends, so I started hanging out with her. And now.... here I am." Rory smiled, happy with the change. 'She's changed so much....' Tristan thought.
"Can we go back.....? It's only 9...... the night's still young!!" Rory laughed and grabbed his hand again.
When they got back to the party, Jake and them were all in the hot tub.
"Hayden!! Get your fine ass in here!" Jake screamed.
Rory shook her head playfully, but took off her jeans and her shirt and walked over to the hot tub.
"You coming?" She asked Tristan over her shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm coming." Tristan winked, meaning something completely different. Rory just smirked at him, but didn't say anything else.
By 12, the party was slowing down a bit, and Rory was getting bored with Jake. 'He's cute..... too bad he's so dumb' she grinned, thinking of that.
"Hey DuGrey..... take me home?" Rory asked, smiling seductively up at him and taking his hand. Tristan nodded, and wrapped his arm around her waist to leave.
"I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow morning Ror." Summer said, screaming after her. Rory just nodded and continued walking.
Saturday Morning, Rory woke up to her annoying maid.
"Miss Hayden! You have that meeting in 40 minutes!" Rosie said, handing her coffee. Rory took the coffee than got out of her bed and threw on some adidas jogging pants and an adidas hoodie.
"I'll be back later, Rosie." Rory told her, walking out the door to get her car.
When she got to Chilton, most of the j/v squad was there.
"Rory!! You're late!!!" Cassie Maxton said, aggravated.
"Cassie, darling, I really don't care." Rory said with fake sweetness. Cassie looked shocked but just glared at her.
"Maxton, wipe that glare of your face before I smack it off." Summer said, scaring the other girl. Rory laughed evilly at Summer. 'Thank God she's my best friend, she's a real bitch to outsiders!'
"Okay.... ANYWAY! This is just about the car wash we're having to raise money." Rory said, taking her role as the captain. Summer grinned 'Car washes means skimpy swim suits and hot guys with cool cars....'
"Summer..... stop thinking about guys and cars." Rory said, knowing what her best friend was thinking, before she thought it. Summer just smiled at her, then laughed at her best friend for knowing her so well.
Besides the meeting, the weekend went by quickly. Monday, she was back at school. She unbuttoned another button and walked into school.
"Hey Ror." Jake said, walking up to her and kissing her neck. Rory giggled but slapped him lightly.
"Jake, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to *date* you. We can still have some benefits though." Rory suggested with a wink and pulled his tie for him to come closer. Jake smiled, "That works baby. That works just fine." Then walked away with the 'I'm gonna get laid' grin on his face.
Rory walked to her locker only to be greeted by Tristan DuGrey himself.
"So Hayden...... I was thinking.... we should go out tonight." He suggested, his voice full of confidence, his eyes giving him away.
"Well, Tristan......." Rory trailed off.
