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.
Chapter 3
"I think I can manage that" Rory said, finally snapping back into reality.
"Really?? Er I mean.... that's cool. I'll pick you up at 6, we'll go to the movies." Tristan said, trying to act cool.
"Okay, I'll see you then. Later." Rory walked off to join her cronies.
"Paris, darling, get out of my way." Rory growled, with a sweet smile on her face.
"I don't know who you think you are Hayden, but don't mess with me." Paris threatened. Rory smiled an evil 'you have no idea who you're messing with' smile, and looked at Summer, Madison, Shayna, and Cari, each of them having the same smile.
"No, Gellar, I don't know who YOU think YOU are. No one in this school likes you. We simply act like you aren't there. I know that you're jealous about me having everything you want, but I can't help that. Now, get out of our way." Rory said in her sickly sweet tone, but the evil look never leaving her eyes. Paris just huffed off, knowing she'd lose. She always lost when it came to Rory Hayden........
At lunch, Rory was sitting on Tristan's lap out in the courtyard, laughing and joking with Summer, Austin, Brad, Keegan, Shayna, and Mack.
"You should've seen Gellar.... Tristan, your girl's got power in this school!" Shayna Thompson said, her green eyes sparkling. Tristan just smiled and tightened his arms around Rory's waist.
"His girl? I don't remember signing a contract about that Mr.DuGrey!!" Rory joked, knowing very well that her and Tristan would become Chilton's King and Queen, there was no doubt in her mind.
"You didn't have to sign it, our secretaries were taking care of it." Tristan said, going along with the joke.
They all laughed, but stopped when they saw Jake talking to Paris.
"What is he doing?!" Summer asked, getting pale.
"I'll be right back." Rory said, getting off of Tristan and walking seductively over to Jake. When she got to where they were, she stepping infront of Jake and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Jake, could you walk me to 6th hour?" Rory asked, looking up at him with pouty lips.
"Yeah, c'mon Ror...." Jake said, enjoying her wrapped around him.
"Thanks.... let me go get my books." Rory said, smiling at Paris, who was glaring at her.
"Wipe that glare off your face Paris, it just makes you look uglier than you already are." Rory said, before walking over to the group. She gave Tristan her 'Trust me' look, and walked back into the arms of Jake.
"What is she doing?!" Tristan asked the group after Rory left.
"Being Rory?" Summer shrugged, not seeing anything wrong.
"Yeah DuGrey, don't trip. Hayden knows how to play the game. When she wants something, she knows how to get it." Brad said knowingly.
"Who taught her to play the game?! When did she become the Queen of Chilton??" Tristan asked, getting angry.
"You don't know anything at all......" Summer said, "Come with me." Tristan followed her to the parking lot.
Summer sat on the hood of her car, waiting for Tristan to join her, when she did, she started the story.
"Rory told you that her mother met some guy, got engaged, and Rory moved in with her dad, right?" Summer asked, knowing the girls story well. Tristan just nodded.
"That's not true at all........ a few weeks after you left, there was an accident..... Loralei died from impact. 1 week later, the papers were final, and Rory was a Hayden. She didn't adjust well atfirst...... but I took her under my wing. She looks good in this world Tris.... you gotta admit that. She was meant to be here." Summer said, getting up and leaving a shocked Tristan to himself.
'Poor Rory...... I had no idea...' Tristan said, soaking in all the information. He didn't understand why Rory had lied to him, but I guess she used that story a lot. Saying her mother didn't want her was a lot easier than admitting she was dead.........
Tristan picked Rory up at 6, like he said he would. They went to the movies, and he took her home, not saying anything about him knowing.
"What's wrong DuGrey? Someone bite your tongue?" Rory joked, referring to him fan club.
"Oh yeah..... one of those freshmen girls..... someone needs to teach them to kiss" Tristan laughed, going along with their joke. Rory smirked at him. 'Summer was right..... she does look good in this world.' Tristan thought, looking at her.
"Why'd you lie?" Tristan heard himself saying, not really knowing why. Rory looked down, knowing Summer had told him.
"It's easier thinking she didn't love me, then knowing she can't come back." Rory said, a sad look in her eyes, but that quickly disappeared.
"Wanna go get ice cream?" Rory asked, her trademark smirk, back on her face.
"Yeah, let's go." Tristan said, screeching his tires and driving off.
After their date, Tristan took her home.
"I had a lot of fun tonight Tris." Rory said, looking up at him.
" So did I Hayden........ will you........." Tristan stopped when Rory kissed him. It was a sweet kiss, one that answered questions both of them had had. They were in love, they were meant to be.
"Yeah Tristan, I'll go out with you." Rory said, turning around and going inside. Leaving a grinning Tristan outside.
The next morning at school, Rory and Tristan were hardly seen away from each other. They were always holding hands, his arm always around her waist, they were happy.
"I heard they're already wanting to vote us 'cutest couple' for the Sophomore class." Rory told Tristan, walking to Biology.
"Can you blame them?" Tristan smirked, tightening his grip around her waist, glaring at Jake as they took their seats, "He wants you." he added, through gritted teeth. Rory just rolled her eyes and gave Tristan one of those smiles, that he knew would always be meant for him, and his worries disappeared.
Tristan was finding it extremely hard to concentrate with Rory Hayden sitting next to him. It was even harder to concentrate knowing he could have her, whenever he wanted, outside of class...... and here they were, the one place he had to keep his hands off her..... atleast when Mr.Martin was teaching.
Rory was not paying attention, at all. All she could do was sit there starring at her boyfriend, Tristan DuGrey....... 'Boyfriend..... how weird does that sound? I haven't had a boyfriend since Dean....... everyone else were just flavors of the week....' she smirked, thinking of all the guys in the school that wanted her....... 'I love being in the elite'
After class was over, Rory and Summer were walking to the locker room for the last cheerleading meeting of their sophomore year.
"So, you and Tristan, huh?" Summer smiled, "that's totally cute!"
"I know...... and we even have 'history' so it makes it easier to fall completely head over heels for him" Rory joked, but smiled genuinely. Summer nodded and walked into the gym, Rory following.
