Just a little note to say that this chapter picks up on the first day of school, Katy did go back to London but I promise that she will be making several appearances and her presence will be felt! Tristan and Rory haven't seen each other since leaving New York on account of Katy being with Tristan in Hartford. Here we go:
Rory woke up feeling nervous, today was her first day back at school and not only would she be Vice President of the student body but she would also be trying to act like nothing was going on with her and Tristan. That was going to be the hardest job of all, considering every time she saw him she blushed crazily. They hadn't seen each other since the day in New York with Lorelai but he had called her last night after Katy got her plane back to London. The plan was to act normal, like they had before he left, he also promised a present at her locker to make up for them being apart for two weeks.
It turned out that Tristan was not the only one in the present giving mood. Yesterday, Rory had gotten the shock of a lifetime when her grandparents showed up with a brand new car, just for her, a Porsche nonetheless. No more taking the bus for Rory, that was their reasoning behind the whole thing, they were proud of her for becoming Vice President and the thought it inappropriate that the Vice President take the bus to school, hence the car.
Because of the car, Rory now got extra time in the mornings which meant that she actually had time to enjoy her breakfast at Luke's this morning, instead of getting a coffee and doughnut to go. She thanked Luke for breakfast, kissed her mother on the cheek and left the diner, humming to herself.
'What's up with her?' Luke asked.
'She's going to see her boyfriend, she got a new car and her boyfriend has a present for her, why wouldn't she be happy?' Lorelai answered.
'Boyfriend? Since when does Rory have a boyfriend?'
'Since New York but don't tell anyone. It's top secret.'
'Top secret?' Luke repeated.
'Yes you see, now pay attention because it gets complicated. See they liked each other and hooked up but then he had to move to London for his dad's business purposes, now he's back but he has an English girlfriend who he is just using to help his dad's business but he and Rory like each other still so they are dating in secret. Me, his mother and now you, are the only people that know.'
'Wow, and Rory is going along with this?'
'Well if she wants to be with him, she has to, at least for a while.'
'It'll all end in tears.'
'I know.'
'Rory will get hurt.'
'I know.'
'And you plan on doing nothing about this?'
'There's nothing I can do except be here when it all goes wrong.'
'And you're okay with that?'
'Hell no, I'm going crazy here but I'm friends with the kids mom and I know how he feels about Rory but that doesn't mean I like the situation.'
'If you need to unload any time...'
'Thanks Luke, I get the feeling I'll be taking you up on that.'
'You're welcome. What are friends for?'
'Well, thanks.' Lorelai said as she grabbed her bag, leaned over the counter and kissed Luke on the cheek before walking out, on her way to work. Leaving Lorelai staring after her...
Rory pulled up outside Chilton in record time and switched off her Sarah McLachlan CD. She grabbed her bag from the passenger seat and made her way into the now familiar halls of Hell. She was curious to see what Tristan had been talking about when he said to expect a present. She got to her locker and found herself slightly disappointed that he wasn't there, waiting like she had half expected him to be. Silently she scolded herself, thinking that this was his first day back, he was probably catching up with friends, plus they were meant to be acting normal. Then again, the sight of him at her locker was actually pretty normal.
She opened her locker and a note fell out, smiling to herself, she bent down to pick it up, that was when she saw the coffee. A grin broke out on her face, stretching from ear to ear. She picked up the coffee and drank it, then turned her attention to the note which was actually an envelope and it was dated for a year earlier, right after Madeline's party. There was even her full address and a stamp on it and immediately she knew what it was. He had written to her while in London but had never sent the letters. Slipping the envelope into her schoolbag Rory moved to put the now empty coffee cup in the trash when she spotted Tristan down the hall.
Just as she was about to look away, he looked up and caught her gaze, she blushed, he smirked and she rolled her eyes. Maybe normal wouldn't be so hard after all. She turned back to her locker and unloaded all the books from her bag, organising her locker and getting ready for the first class of her senior year.
She had managed to get through the whole day with a minimal amount of contact with Tristan. He smirked at her when they passed in the halls and even whispered 'Morning Mary' in her ear when he seated himself behind her in History. It was now last class and she had study hall, and so apparently did Tristan. He waited for about fifteen minutes before looking at Rory significantly, winking and raising his hand.
'Yes Mr. DuGrey?' the supervisor asked.
'Sorry sir but I really don't feel well; can I please go to the bathroom?'
'Are you alright?'
'I think I might throw up, I don't really want to do it in the library.'
'Fair enough. Do you want anyone to go with you?'
'No, it's okay.'
'Okay, off you go then.'
'Thanks Sir.'
Tristan left the library and waited just inside the door of the boy's bathrooms, he could see the library doors perfectly. He was waiting for about five minutes when Rory came out, bearing a bathroom pass. She also had a guilty look on her face. As she walked towards the bathroom, Tristan came and stood in the doorway, leaning up against the frame.
'Cutting class Mary? This is so unlike you.'
'Blame my boyfriend; he's a bad influence on me.'
'Glad to hear it.' He smirked before grabbing Rory's hips and pulling her to him, crushing his mouth to hers.
Rory readily complied with the forceful kiss, needing it as much as he did. She suddenly felt something hard and cold against her back and she noticed that Tristan had pushed her up against one of the cubicle walls. She leapt into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist as he moved his lips from hers and began to trace butterfly kisses down her neck until his lips reached the collar of her shirt. Skilfully, he opened the top two buttons and resumed his kissing, leaving a large mark just below her collarbone where nobody would see it. He growled in frustration, wanting much more, Rory knew what the growl meant and she looked at him sadly, letting him know she felt the same.
'So feeling better?' she asked.
'Much, I think that the sick feeling just built up to the point I had to do something about it.'
'Glad you're feeling better.'
'I don't think I'm fully recovered though so I might need some more assistance.' He answered, still kissing and sucking her bare shoulders.
'I'd love to help out but I can't right now, I have to get back.'
'You're such a tease.'
'I know.'
'God Mary, I don't know how I'm going to be able to see you every day and not kiss you.'
'You can kiss me, just not when anyone is around.'
'Are you sure you have to go back?'
'Yes, I've been gone for too long already.'
'Okay.' Tristan sighed but released his death grip on her hips and she slid down the length of his body, causing him the groan. She grinned and kissed him lightly.
'Bye Tris.'
'Bye Mar.'
Rory walked out of the bathroom, attempting to put her clothes and hair right, hoping she didn't look like she had been doing what she was just doing. She re-entered the library and took her seat beside Paris who whispered
'How was Tristan, any better?'
'What are you talking about?'
'Oh, come on Rory; don't play dumb, I know you were out there with him.'
'As if.'
'Fine deny it, but don't worry, I don't think anyone suspects anything.'
'There's nothing to suspect Paris.'
'Whatever you say Rory.' Paris smiled before getting back to work.
