Six days later (If you forgot the day when Tristin returns) in Tristin's car.
"It still looks the same as when I left" Tristin thought pulling up to his new parking spot at
Chilton. "The building hasn't changed and the people still look the same they look to have the
same attitudes their noses still stuck in the air." he thought scanning the crowd for one face
in particular. He spotted Rory sitting on a bench under the trees reading her book he exited
his car and walked calmly towards her. The people around him didn't notice him because they
were too caught up in their own world to care about him. Tristin quietly snuck up behind the
bench and whispered in her ear he said "Miss me?"
At the sound of his voice in her ear Rory jumped up jolting his chin with her shoulder. She
recognised that voice but wasn't sure it was possible. "Tristin?" She said jumping around and
enveloping him in a hug "Welcome Back."
"You didn't answer my question. Did ya miss me?"
"Nope I didn't even think about you I'm suprised I even remembered your name."
"So you missed me ?"
"Yea I did miss you." She said still embracing him.
"Wow. The first time I see her she hugs me and tells me she missed me. This is a better first
day back than I could've imagined."
"So you're back for good?"
"Yes"
"Good." Rory said "Did I just say that what is getting into me lately" she thought
"So... " He said unsure what else to say.
"What do you have first class?"
"English with Medina. You?"
"Same. Walk me to class?"
"Sure. . . Mary." he said 'My ,my ,my Mary how you've changed.' he thought.
"So .. how's umm how's everything with you?"
"Stuff's good."
"Just good?"
"Just good."
"How's everything with bagboy?"
"Well there... there is no bag boy anymore."
"Sorry."
"No your not but you know what neither am i. He was so jealous first because he thought you had
a thing for me because of the dance and your performance before the play really helped."
"I am really sorry about the way I acted that day. I promised I wouldn't say anything but the
way he was standing there it was like a challenge but still that's no excuse."
Well that was only a little part of the problem when Jess moved to town."
"Jess?" He said 'oh no I thought that I could come back and maybe have a chance with her.'
"Yea he's Luke's nephew. Luke owns the coffee shop I go to everyday. Dean was sure he too had a
thing for me. Dean became more sure of himself because I ran to Luke's diner after he broke up
with me. The only reason I ran there is because Luke has been the closest thing to a father
that I have ever had." She said a melancholy smile on her face. "Why was he more of a dad to me
than dad maybe it was because he cared or was there" She thought
"Rory. Earth to Rory."
"Earth to Rory how lame is that." Rory said.
"I don't know why I said that it's something I've heard a lot of since I've been home."
"From who? your imaginary friend?"
"No my niece."
"You have a niece?"
"Yea she my older sister Angelique,'s daughter Angie."
"How old's your niece?"
"She's five years old in two weeks."
"Cool." She said as they arrived at Mr. Medina's classroom.
"Here we are." He said stepping out of the way letting her go in.
"Thanks." She said and sat down, Tristin followed suit and sat next to her.
At that moment Paris, Louise and Madeline walked in and Paris noticed Tristin sitting there
talking to Rory. Paris walked over to them while Madeline and Louise were discussing something
like makeup.
"Hey Tristin." Paris said.
"Hi Paris how's life?"
"Good. I got class president."
"Great for you."
"Yea Rory got vice prez."
"She didn't tell me that."
"I didn't? I thought I did. Funny." Rory said.
"Yea funny, funny girl."
"I like to think that even if you don't."
"Good morning class." Mr. Medina said as he walked into the room as the bell rang and they took
their seats.
"Look Louise. Look." Madeline said as she gestured towards Tristin and Rory who seemed to be
engrossed in conversation.
"Well, well, well don't they look cosy." Louise sneered.
After class
"So What do you have next....Mary?"
"Bio and it's Rory listen Rroorryy repeat after me Rory"
"Mary." He smirked
"I'm sorry I don't know any Mary's but my name's Rory and I've got to go buh bye."
"Wait Rory I'm sorry."
"Fine but only if you don't call me Mary again. So what do you have next?"
"Bio too."
