Chapter 3: Book Drop
"Rory!" Lorelai called on a sing-song voice, "It's time for school!"
Rory eagerly replied,"I can't believe I'm actually jazzed for school. I mean now I get to go to a school with people who actually are there to learn and not socialize --"
Lorelai interrupted her: "Oh yeah, I'm sure that's it. We all know that you just want to be there because of Tristan."
"Of course not, why would you ever think that?" Rory said sarcastically.
"Anyway, I have to get ready--" Rory was cut off again.
"-- So you can look pretty for pretty boy. Pretty boy and pretty girl. Clever one Lorelai, you do not only get more beautiful everyday, but you also get smarter," she finished as she thought out loud.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but usually on your first day of school, or any day for that matter, you are suppose to look approachable to other people" Rory pointed out.
"Sure, sure. That's what you want me to think, but I know that you just want to look good for Tristan," Lorelai said.
"You know, it really doesn't matter the reason because I don't want to talk about this, or my relationship with Tristan any more. How about we go to Luke's and get some coffee before I have to leave for school?" Rory replied.
"I win! You totally agree with me, and we'll bring back up the topic of your relationship later, but since it's morning, coffee takes priority over teasing you," Lorelai teased.
"Well then, don't I feel special," Rory teased back as they walked to the doors outside of Luke's.
They walked up to the counter and decided what to order.
"Hey Luke, one coffee to go, one coffee for here, and a big plate of French toast, please" Lorelai said.
"Sure. Nice outfit you've got there Rory. Let me guess, you're auditioning for either a music video or a television teen drama", Luke said.
"Neither. Thanks for the coffee , but I better get going," she called, as she went out the door.
About a half hour later Rory arrived at school. She had come to Chilton with Tristan a few times, so she knew where most things were already. She decided that she would surprise Tristan by sneaking up on him.
She thought that he'd be at his locker, and began to travel in that direction.
Just as she came around the corner, she saw a tall, leggy blonde walk up to Tristan.
"Hey Tris," the girl said in a sultry voice, as she was picked a piece of invisible lint off of his sweater.
"Hey Paige, how are you?" he asked, as her tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Good, seeing as it's really early and no one is here yet so we can --" she stopped, as she leaned into kiss him.
Rory couldn't believe her eyes. She was so shocked that she dropped the book that she was holding onto.
Tristan immediately turned around to see who it was.
Rory. His Rory. At his school.
He opened his mouth to say something, but he was so shocked that the words couldn't come out of his mouth.
Rory quickly picked up her book and angrily said, "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you two."
Rory then quickly ran away.
Tons of thoughts were streaming through her head.
How many girls had he cheated on with while he was with her? Why? how long has this been going on?
Rory made it to the courtyard and sat down on the bench and did the only thing she could at that moment.
That thing was to cry.
