Lunch time~ Chilton Cafeteria

As everyone bought their lunch, Rory followed Tristan and sat with their group of friends...at the popular table. Louis and Madeline sat down with their boys of the week, while Paris was busy with homework, and then a few of the guys from basketball team that Tristan was on. Tristan came back from military school about a week before Chilton started. He wanted to start the school year off right so he called Rory and apologized for being a jerk and asked if they could start over. Well they had, and now they were best friends.

'So, what's everyone doing tonight?' Tristan asked, starting the conversation. Everyone looked at him, and then a million answers came out at once.

'Well we are going to double tonight.' Louis said while pointing to her, Madeline, and the boys. 'We're going to see Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. It should put us in the mood later.' The girls just giggled while the guy's smile grew wider.

'I have to much homework to even think about a life.' Paris groveled, not even looking up from her chemistry homework.

'So Mary, that just leaves you and me. We have a basketball game for the semi-finals tonight up here, if you want, I can get you a cheerleaders outfit. You know, to cheer the guys on...you can practice your little half time show on me alone.' Tristan wiggled his eyebrow and smirked.

'As much as I would love to show you those new moves, I have to go to my grandparents party tonight.' Rory really wanted to go to the game because she was there for all the other games, and tonight was important.

His smile just dropped when she said that. The other guys at the table who were also on the team, looked disappointed. They all liked Rory as a friend, and thought of her as their 'lucky charm' for their undefeated season.

'Come on Rory! Cant you tell your grandparents that this is one of the most important games?' Matt, one of the players asked. All the other guys joined in together with their 'yea' responses.

'I don't think that they would let me...but I'll try when I get home ok. What time is the game?'

'The game starts at eight and then there's always the after party at my house. You know that your grandparents parties always start at like sunset, so you can go there for a while, and then show up for the game.' Tristan tried to get Rory to come.

'Oh yea, well I'll still see what I can do.' With that, Rory got up with everyone else to go to her next class.
