Rory felt a light tap on her shoulder as she walked through the halls of Yale. "Erg . you um, dropped this." The voice said with uneasiness.

Rory turned around throwing her hands up in the air with a smile. She dramatically sighed in relief and said, "Thank god! If I had lost that I would have been in deep trouble boy; next period's exam paper. Thank you, you're too kind." She smiled, lightly taking the paper from his hands and turning toward her destination. Before she had the chance to get within five feet of where she was standing; he tapped her once more. "Did I drop something else?" She asked turning around a small laugh escaping her.

Retuning the slight chuckled the guy just responded with a shake of his head. "Actually, I've been wanting to talk to you for some time now."

"Really?" Rory said slightly blushing. She examined the guy in front of her. He was about 5'9 with dark brown hair. Slanted eyes matched his beautiful smile and his casual wear. "How do you know me?"

"Well . you're in my Philosophy class." He smiled softly. "I sit with too idiots, you might know as dumb and dumber?" Chuckling nervously he waited for her reaction.

Max opened her mouth in the shape of a 'o'. "Oh yeah! Kevin and Junior?" Rory sighed and made a look of disgust. "They really are idiots. I can't believe you would be friends with them."

The guy shrugged and laughed at Rory's comment. "Yeah well I've been friends with them since I was a little kid. You know how that goes? But anyway my name is Luis." He offered, extending his free hand to Rory.

"Glad to meet your acquaintance Ms. Luis. Now if you would excuse me I have to go to class, wouldn't want to be late." She smiled turning away.

Luis nodded in a response and smiled at her retreating figure. Rory Gilmore was one of the most beautiful, mysterious and most of all sexy girls at Yale. Every guy had noticed, especially Luis V.

Rory walked through the corridor after her last class was over. It was coffee time and she needed some badly. Heading to the coffee house that her and Tristan attended every morning for the past too years. It was a very custom ritual, which Rory had actually enjoyed. She opened the door, peeking inside. 'Where is he?' She thought as she casually walked in and sat at their everyday table. Ten, seeming like forever, minuets passed by and Rory grew impatient. She wanted to tell him about her day and get the scoop on his.

Playing with her hair and biting on her lip, she sighed. 'Probably having sex with some girl in his ca.' Right before she could finish her thought a voice called to her.

"Hey Rory." An excited looking Luis said.

Rory sulked with disappointment. 'Fucking Tristan. Where is he?' Looking up she smirked at a eager Luis. "Hey Luis? Do you want to sit down or something?"

"Yeah actually I wanted to ask you something." He bit his lip, nervously. She found this adorable and smiled ear to ear. "Well you see. there's a good movie coming out this Friday. I was wondering if you weren't busy you would like to come see it with me?"

She blushed lightly, as she thought for a moment. "Can I have your number?" She asked innocently. "I mean I'm going to have to talk to my best friend, my roommate to see if we have any plans."

Luis smiled and pulled out a piece of paper. Writing, down his number and handing the paper to Rory. " Okay, well I look forward to your call. Bye for now."

She waved a goodbye and took another sip of her, slightly cold, coffee. 'Wow. He is kind of cute.' Rory thought, picking up a book and starting to read. As soon as he walked out in walked who else. The lovely Tristan DuGrey, the expected.

Tristan had seen her beautiful self as soon as he walked through the door. Not mentioning that they sit in the same place everyday. She was always so quiet, waiting for him. Either reading a book or finishing up a study paper. He walked over to her slowly so she wouldn't notice his approach. She seemed to be deep in thought and he was going to find out just what it was that had his Mary blushing.

"A penny for your thoughts?" He said leaning in closely and whispering in her ear. Rory flinched but let out a sigh of relief, slapping him playfully on the arm. He kissed her cheek gently, as usual and retreated to his seat in front of her.

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "I'm ignoring you Trist."

"Yeah I can tell." He said rather sarcastically. " That's why your smiling and happy to see me."

"I am not."

"Are too."

"No."

"Yes."

"Conceited."

"Denial."

"Hooker."

"Touché."

"I win." She said smiling and pinching his cheeks.

Tristan rolled his eyes but couldn't help the grin that formed on his lips. "So what's on your mind Mary? You seem rather deep in thought. Were you blushing?"

"Of course not."

"Yes you were."

"I do not blush."

"You blush when I say your beautiful."

"No I don't."

"Denial kills the soul Mary."

"I'm not denying anything."

"Your not suppose to lie Mary. It says so in the bible."

"Shut up Trist."

"Give me a kiss and I will."

"Maybe later punk."

"That's fine with me you dork."

"But then who's begging for the kiss."

"I'm not begging just simply asking. You're the one who begged me the other night." He winked. "But any way what's going on for real you got me all impatient?"

"Nothing big."

"So tell me."

"No."

"Come on."

"I don't feel like it."

"You tell me everything."

"I know."

"So? Tell me!"

"Nothing big. I just might have a date for Friday night." Tristans ears weren't hearing correctly. Well actually they were, but he wished they weren't. "I said it. Are you happy?"

"That was easy enough wasn't it Mary?"

"Yes. But that doesn't mean I wanted to tell you."

"Yes you did." Tristans smiled faded and he grew more serious. "So are you going to date this potential?"

Rory thought for a moment then shrugged. "What could one date hurt?"
