Chapter 1 – Back Where We Started
Tristan stepped out of his Porsche and looked around at the grounds of Chilton. It all seemed so strange, to be back after a year, to be able to see all of his friends. "Friends" was probably a better way to say it. None of them really knew him, or cared about him for that matter. No one had written to him while he had been away, no one had even called the DuGrey Manor to see how he was. Not that it really mattered to him; they weren't the ones he cared about. All he cared about was seeing Rory again. She had been the one thing that had gotten him through the past year. And now he could finally see her again.
Rory Gilmore walked down the halls of her school, talking with Paris about the student government. There was so much that they had to figure out as the president and vice president of the student body. As she turned the corner, her eyes connected with the blue eyes of a face from the past. She couldn't think of anything to say to the one word that hung in the air, "Mary."

Rory stepped off of the bus and headed towards Luke's. When she entered, she said, "coffee," to Luke, then headed upstairs. Jess opened the door as soon as she knocked, and ushered her in.
"What's wrong?" he asked, concerned because he could see her feelings displayed in her eyes.
"Tristan's back, and he's going to come in contact with Dean at some point," Rory said. She glanced at her watch and took off, realizing that she was late for her meeting with Dean.
