Chapter 3

Rory and Paris had parted ways to get to their rooms. Rory walked into her suite to find only one other person in there.

"Hi! I'm rory. I'm guessing we are suite mates" said Rory.

"Yep I would guess so. I'm James I go to Rowllands high in Connecticut where do you go?" replied James.

"I go to Chiton Acadamy also in Connecticut," rory responded.

"Oh cool the other guy here said he used to go to Chilton but he went to go explore the ship before the mandatory life boat drill. OH damn I'm so bad with name it was drisden or christen or something like that."

"Well I've only gone to Chilton for a few years so I probably don't know him. It's a K-12 School. So he was most likely gone before I got there."

"Oh that's cool. Well would you like to accompany me to check out the ship. I'm bored and this is a cruise your supposed to have fun all the time right?"

"Sure why no I guess I can unpack later."

Rory and James walked around the ship and found out that there was a teen dance club and an extensive bar but they wouldn't get much use out of that. They decided that they would go to the club together later that night if they didn't have to do anything for the conference. *Wow this is defiantly turning out better then I thought I'm hanging out with a cute boy on a huge cruise ship with nothing to do except have fun oh and those weird seminars but its all good*

As Rory and James headed back to their rooms she spotted Pairs across the hall.

"Rory where are you going we must be getting to the life boat drill now. Honestly sometimes I don't know where head is you see a nice boy and bam no brains at all. Oy anyways we must be going now nice to meet you .. Ugh..."

"James my name is James I'm one of Rory's suitemates," replied James.

"Well it is very nice to meet you I dare say we will be seeing more of eachother on this trip," replies Paris as she grabs Rory's arm and walks towards their station for the lifeboat drill. Rory threw a look of regret to James as she was wisked away by a rambling Paris.

Rory and Paris found their place among the many students there for the conference and the adults taking their summer vacation.

"oh my this is infuriating. Rory half of these adults are already drunk. This is not acceptable I'm going to go find the cruise director and let her know of this."

Rory breathed a sigh of relief as Paris left on her "mission." She looked around for anyone she knew so she wouldn't have to stand there alone but they were promptly dismissed and she decided to head back to her room to unpack and see if her other suitemates had gone back there.

When she arrived back at her room she was the only one there so she went to unpack. As she opened her suitcases she discovered that nothing she had packed was actually still in there.

"Mom!!! That's the last time I let her near my luggage."

"Who?" replied a tall blonde that had just entered the room unannounced.

"Wow oh hi! I'm Rory and I was referring to my mother she repacked everything in my suitcases. Now I'll have nothing to wear she packed all very reveling clothes and a few nice dresses. What am I going to do now. I have nothing to wear to the welcome dinner tonight. Oh now I'm just rambling sorry I tend to do that a lot."

"Hehehe It's ok I ramble a lot too. My name is Kelly and I think you would be surprised at how many of the girls will be wearing stuff worse than that to the dinner tonight so you'll be fine," said Kelly.

"Thanks we should probably get dressed and go down to the dinner then," replied Rory.

The two girls dressed quickly and walked together to the dining hall that was specially reserved for conference students and teachers. When they got there they found that they were seated according to their suite numbers. Kelly and Rory found their table and sat down to wait for the guys.

James and another guy walked up to the table and sat down but Rory's back was turned because she had been talking to Kelly who was sitting beside her.

"Why hello Mary," said a blonde Adonis seated across the table from Rory.

*No it can't be he's at military school in North Caroilna* Rory held her breath and turned to face the voice. *wow he looks good. I did not just think that this is Tristan he's annoying he tortures me for fun.*

"Hey Tristan," replied a flustered Rory.

"Do you two know eachother?" asked Kelly. She was very openly checking out Tristan.

"We sure do you see Mary here has been in love with me for a very long time she just doesn't know it," replied a very cocky Tristan.

"In your dreams Tristan."

"Oh you have no idea Mary."

Dinner continued without any major catastrophe. *I think I missed our banter*

"Hey Mary you ok? You've been sitting there staring into space for the past 10 minutes. If you had been staring at me I would understand but your not staring at anything," questioned Tristan.

"Huh oh I'm fine," responded Rory as she came out of her daze.

"That you are Mary that you are. And since we are on the topic I hear they have a hot dance club here for teen do you want to go with me tonight. We could catch up on old times."

"We weren't on the topic but I can't anyways cause I already told James I would go with him to the club tonight," replied Rory smugly.

"I'll go with you!" piped up Kelly.

"Uh sure ok that would be cool." Tristan sounded a little disappointed. But not devastated.

After the dinner and speeches by the heads of the conference Kelly and Rory went back to their room to get ready for the club.

"oh my God Rory you look totally fabulous. All of the guys are going to be drooling over you tonight," exclaimed Kelly when she saw Rory come out of the bathroom.

"Thanks but I really don't know how you convinced me to wear this I fell like I'm naked. And you look much better than I do." Rory looked in the mirror with a worried look on her face. "I think I'm going to go change."

"No, no, no you can't change you look great please just go like this. Do it for me." Kelly gave her puppy dog eyes and whimpered.

"Fine, fine I guess let's go then. We still have to go see if the guys are ready to go."

They waked out of their room and across the common room the door of the guys bedroom. Kelly knocked and James answered the door.

"Wow you girls great let me go get Tristan and we can bounce."

Just then Tristan walked up behind James. "hey you all ready to..." Tristan was speechless at what he saw. Rory was wearing a short black miniskirt and a deep red top with a black heart in the bottom left corner. Her hair was loosely curled and she had glittery body shadow all over the skin exposed from the black tank top.

"Ya I think we are ready to go." Replied Kelly as she giggled at his reaction to Rory's appearance.

They walked down the corridor to the dance club with Rory tugging at the bottom of her skirt and Tristan sneaking glances at her every couple of steps. "What is your problem I know I look ridiculous but you don't have to keep looking at me," said a frustrated Rory.

"I'm sorry. You don't look ridiculous. You actually look quite the opposite of ridiculous." Just then they reached the club entrance and were ushered inside by the growing crowd. When they got in the two couples split up and Rory and James went to find a table and to get a drink.
