"Tristan wake up!" Rory screamed.

He did not move.

"What wrong?" Lorelai said coming in.

"He wouldn't wake up and we have school." Rory said annoyed.

"I may be able to help you there." Max said coming in.

"Then do it."

"You got a bell?" He asked.

"Sure." Rory got her bell and handed into Max.

He rung it. "Mr. Du Grey, wake up! You're going to be late for your next class!" Max screamed

Tristan woke up quick. "When did I? How am I in your class again?" He asked and then he looked around. "That's not funny." Tristan said as he looked at Rory who was laughing.

"Yeah it is. Now come on we have school, you need to get ready." Rory said as Max and Lorelai left.

"I don't have any clothes for school." Tristan said getting up.

"One of my friends has a boyfriend at Chilton I'll see if he can meet us before school with an extra uniform."

"It's nice to have someone care about me the way you do." Tristan said smiling.

"Well it's only this once."

"I don't believe that." He said getting closer to her.

"Me either." She said blushing.

He was right next to her now.  He leaned in to kiss her but was stopped by Lorelai.

"What's going on here?" she asked.

"Mom! Um… we were just talking that's all." Rory said lying.

"Yeah right um … you two need to leave soon or you'll be late." Lorelai said as she walked out.

"You ok?" Tristan asked concerned.

"I don't know what I'm going to tell her." Rory said worried.

"Blame it all on me, and me trying to take advantage of you. Everyone always does." Tristan said.

"Thanks but no I'll tell her the truth."

"I'm shocked."

"Why?"

"Because you can't even tell yourself the truth how can you possibly tell your mother?"

"Hey you need to go!" Luke screamed at Jess.

"I'm going I'm going." Jess came out his room.

"You're actually going to school today no arguments?" Luke asked shocked.

"Well Dean's not there so I think school should be good."

"Does Rory know you have this strong of dislike towards her boyfriend?"

"Well you have the same dislike towards him too. From what I heard you attacked him."

"That was when he broke Rory's heart and since they are back together now, I don't hate him that much." Luke said lying.

"You still hate him, I can see it you eyes, it's worse then looks you have towards me." Jess said smiling.

"Go to school now!" Luke screamed.

"I'm going. I'm going."

"Sasha, wake up." Christopher said nudging her.

Sasha opened her eyes. "What am I…"

"You fell asleep in my hotel room last night." Christopher said.

"That's right, I remember now." Sasha said yawning.

"You know I really didn't want to wake you up you looked too peaceful." Christopher said.

 "I'm glad you did wake up, I have work to do and plus you have to go back to Sherrie any way." Sasha said sadly.

"Well I wish I didn't because lately she's just been driving me a little nuts."

"Have you talked to her about it?"

"You can't, she doesn't want to talk about anything sad only happy things."

Sasha started laughing. "That sounds like one insane women, but you love her so I'm not going to say anything else. I've got to go to work." Sasha said getting up.

"If I didn't have Sherrie would you still have to go to work."

"No I'd call in sick."

"Thanks, Henry. This is a big help." Rory said as she handed the uniform to Tristan.

"I'm sorry to have ask something that maybe I should already know but why are you even with Tristan?"

"What's that suppose to mean?" Tristan asked mad.

"It means her best friend told me she can't stand you." Henry said back.

"Oh well things change." Rory said.

"Ok, if that's all you want to tell me then that's all I'll ask for." Henry said walking off.

"Ok you go change quickly." Rory said to Tristan.

"Be right back. And got a questions what changed?" Tristan asked before he left.

"Go change now!" Rory yelled.

Tristan walked off and Rory started thinking about what had changed. Everything. Her feelings had gotten stronger, she actually liked being around Tristan and thank the Lord he stopped calling her Mary. She loved the way he said her name. She had never heard anyone say her name like that before.

"You know you never told me why you were late to work today?" Luke said as he walked up to Sasha.

"Was I suppose to?" she asked confused.

"It would be nice." He said as she sat down next to her.

"Well I fell asleep in Chris hotel room."

Luke's eyes widened.

"And that's why I wasn't going to tell you."

"So you two are back together?" He asked worried.

"No, he still has Sherrie and well I have you." She said smiling.

"I think I got the better deal." He smiled back at her.

"Plus I think Chris and I have both been hanging on to the past not the future. You know what I'm talking about. You do the same thing when it comes to Rachel."

"Yeah I know." Luke said sadly.

"And unless the future starts looking brighter for the both of us I think the most we will be is just friends. That's all I seem to find is just friends."

"That's a bad thing?" Luke asked shocked.

"No, I mean I found you didn't I and you're a good friend." Sasha said smiling.

"Yeah that's what everyone keeps telling me." Luke said sadly.

"Is that Tristan Du Grey and Rory Gilmore?" One kid asked.

"It can't be, can it?"

"You do realize every is staring at us right?" Rory said to Tristan as they walked into school together.

"So let them stare, there just jealous." Tristan said smiling.

"And you're loving it aren't you?"

"Of course, I mean not many people get to walk in with such a beautiful a girl."

Rory laughed. "I'm not beautiful"

"Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it's not true." Tristan said.

"This is my class. We don't have any where's else to walk to." Rory said as she stopped in front of her door.

"Well then I'll see you this afternoon."

"Yes I'll meet in front of your last class ok?"

"That's fine, so um you think I could get a goodbye kiss?" He asked.

"Depends."

"On what?"

"Depends on if you doing this because everyone is watching or because you want to."

"Because I want to." Tristan said as he leaned in and kissed her. 

Lorelai walked into the kitchen where Sookie and Michel were arguing.  "Ok stop it! I need to talk my best friend right now so you leave." She said to Michel.

"Fine It's boring in here any way." Michel said as he left.

"What's wrong?" Sookie asked.

"It's about Rory."

"What's wrong her?" Sookie asked concerned.

"Remember the kid Tristan I told you about?"

"Yeah the one that's been staying at your house?"

"Yeah that's him well I walked in on him and Rory almost kissing."

"But you told me they've kissed before." Sookie said.

"But that was when Dean and her weren't together. They are together now."

"That's right, but what did she say to?"

"She didn't say anything because we didn't talk about."

"Why not?"

"They both had school."

"So why are you so worried?"

"I don't trust him there just something about that kid that I don't trust."

Rory got out of her last hour class and headed to Tristan's last hour class. When she got there, he wasn't there.  "Has anyone seen Tristan?" She asked the people still left.

"No, he didn't come to this class, something about a family emergency." A kid responded

"Thanks." Rory said as she headed off. She went to Max's room where she saw the Headmaster. She listened in.

"For what I understand you kept Mr. Du Grey from his family. You a teacher here, you should have reported to us where he was."

"I didn't know that he was missing. I did not know his grandfather was looking for him. He just happened to be staying at my fiancée's house." Max said back.

"It's still unacceptable. Why didn't you call to check?"

"I didn't know I had to."

"Well you did. And if Janlaine Du Grey thinks you should be fired because his grandson was missing, you will not have a job here, Mr. Medina."

"In all do respect sir, Janlaine Du Grey does not run this school, you do."

"This discussion is over with Mr. Medina. I do not want to have to speak to you again about this. Truthfully, I don't want to fire you either." The Headmaster said as he left. "Mrs. Gilmore, don't you have a bus to catch?" He asked as he passed her.

"I will be headed that way as soon as I talk to Mr. Medina, sir." She said as he left. Rory went in. "Max?" she asked.

"Oh Rory, did you hear what just happened?" He asked worried.

"Most of it, so his grandfather got him?"

"Yeah, apparently he's been looking for him. Did you know anything about that?"

"Yeah, that's one of the reason he was staying at our house."

"Oh…."

"Max, I'm sorry we had no clue that your job would be in jeopardy."

"I know."

"But Tristan hates hi grandfather, the man from what he told me is a horrible person."

"Yeah well Tristan doesn't have much of a choice now." Max said.

"Yeah I know." Rory said sadly.
