"Rory!"
Rory turned around later that day to see Paris, Madeline and Louise walking quickly towards her.
"What's the deal with you and Tristan? And your brother and Taylor?" Paris asked.
"Umm, Tristan is kinda my boyfriend, and Taylor is my brother's girlfriend," Rory said uncomfortably.
"How do you do it?" Louise asked in amazement.
"Do what?" Rory asked.
"Manage to be related to or dating the 2 hottest guys in the school," Madeline supplied.
"I don't know. You can't pick your relatives and I'm still trying to figure out what Tristan sees in me."
Paris rolled her eyes. "I knew this was gonna happen. I saw it coming a mile away," she said smugly. Her friends all turned and looked at her questioningly.
"Oh come on, a blind mad could see the under lying physical attraction between you and Tristan and Taylor and Ryan. It was only a matter of time."
Shaking their heads at her, Rory, Madeline and Louise continued down the hall.

When the twins walked into the lunchroom, everyone kept glancing at them.
"Why is everyone looking at us?" Ryan queried in a low voice.
"Don't worry about it, this always happens when there's new 'couples' at school. It'll pass in a few days," Rory explained. "I'll be right back."
"Where're you going?" Tristan asked squeezing her hand.
"Just to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute," she promised.
"Aren't you just the luckiest girl in the school?" a snide voice said behind Rory as she washed her hands. She looked into the mirror and saw Summer, the head cheerleader and 'Queen' of Chilton standing there.
"Hi Summer," she said cautiously.
"Look at you, perfect face, perfect grades and now perfect brother and perfect boyfriend."
"Yea. Did you want something Summer?"
"Actually, yes. I want your boyfriend," she said bluntly.
"I'm sorry, but I think the operative word in that statement was my boyfriend Summer. You can't have everything you want."
"Watch me."
Shaking her head, Rory left the bathroom.
