Title: Chapter 4: Kissy Bye Buddy Hi.

AN: *…..* Tristan's POV. #…..# Rory's POV.

Rory woke up the next morning feeling a lot better. Then she remembered what had happened yesterday. She didn't know why but she felt something wrong about the kiss last night. She enjoyed it. Really. But she still felt something's wrong. # I need to talk to him today # She got up, took a shower, get ready to school, say bye bye to mommy and left to school.

CHILTON

Rory walked to her locker. Took all the books she need for her class and then Tristan came up behind her.

"Morning Mary" Rory turned to face him. # He's smiling. Really smiling. Where's the smirk? #

"Morning Tristan" Tristan leaned in to give her the 'good morning' kiss. Rory took a step back.

"What's wrong? You awright? Still got a headache?" Tristan asked worriedly.

"No no no. I'm fine. I do feel a lot better than yesterday"

"Good" He leaned in again to kiss her and again Rory took a step back. She saw a hurt look on Tristan's face.

"Tristan, we need to talk"

"OK" He sighed deeply.

"Look Tristan. I….. I'm sorry about last night. We should've never kissed"

"You're sorry?"

"Yeah" Rory said softly.

"Why?"

"I don't know Tristan. I don't know…." she sighed"…it's just that I felt something was wrong about the kiss"

"Are you saying that I'm not a good kisser?"

"No! Absolutely not. You're a good kisser. Very good. You're a great kisser".

"OK. Then why you're sorry?"

"Its just that… I don't know…. can't you see it Tristan. We never talked to each other before…I mean as friends"

"We talked"

"You talked Tristan, I didn't. We're not even friends"

How do you feel when someone came up in front of you and told you that you're going to die in 5 weeks?. That's how Tristan feels right now. Sad + anger + shocked = Tristan's feeling.

"I'm sorry Tristan"

"I don't"

"Look, let's just pretend like there's nothing happened. Forget about the kiss. Just do it like I did, blame the headache. You can start your morning by pissing me off and as always I will try my best to ignore you"

"Whatever" and with that Tristan left.

# Damn it! # Rory slammed her locker and went to her class. Tristan had been avoiding her all day. Rory felt really guilty about what happened this morning.

RINGGG!!!

# Finally # Rory rushed to the bus stop because she didn't want to miss her bus. In the mean time, Tristan was in the parking lot. He can't stop thinking about what Rory said to him this morning.

~*~*~ Let's just pretend like there's nothing happened. Forget about the kiss ~*~*~

" Fuck!" Tristan cursed slamming his fist on the steering wheel. He started the car ignition. Tristan drove out of the parking lot like a mad man. When he passed the gate of Chilton, he almost hit a girl. He pulled his emergency break immediately. * Shit! * He got out of the car as fast as he can to check on the girl.

"Oh God! I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah. Im okay" the girl said bending forwards to pick up her bag pack. Then she looked up * Rory *

"Tristan. Hi"

"Hey" Tristan said coldly. "Are you okay? I'm really sorry. I didn't see you"

"No that's ok. I'm fine"

"OK…… I have to go" Tristan start to leave.

"Wait! Tristan!"

Tristan stopped his track but didn't turn around.

"Look. Tristan. You cant do that"

"Do what Rory?" Tristan turned to face her. "What I did Rory? Tell me".

"This. You…. you're avoiding me"

"What did you expect me to do Rory? Huh? Oh I know…you want me to piss you off isn't it Rory?"

"No" Rory said innocently.

Tristan sighed deeply. "I'm sorry" He said looking down at his shoes.

"No. I'm sorry. I should've never treated you like that. I'm sorry about what I said to you this morning but you have to understand Tristan this is… too….too fast…for me. First we were enemy and then BAM! We made out on my porch last night".

Tristan start to leave.

"Tristan wait!" Rory said taking Tristan's hand in hers. " Can we uhh… start again? Slowly…Lets be friends"

"I don't know Rory"

"Please Tristan"

* Damn it! Why does her voice had to be that soft *

He sighed. "Okay"

"Okay?"

"Yes Rory OK. What else do you want me to say? Hooray?!"

"Okay is fine"

"Fine"

"Buddy?" Rory said offering her hand for a handshake.

Tristan took it. "Buddy"
