Chapter Two

As Rory unpacked her things and tried to make put her room in some order she wondered why Paris had acted the way she had. Who was that girl? And why was Paris so star struck , so star struck that she had went on to their suite speechlessly and started to unpack. She was considering how to approach the topic with Paris , preferably before they meet her for Lunch but couldn't come up with anything remotely subtle.
As she was pondering this a ringing phone in the common room caused her to make a run for it. She picked up the receiver breathlessly after a frantic search.
"Hello?"

"Paris? Wait no Rory? It's Rory right? " A familiar high voice greeted her.

Rory racked her brain trying to place it.

"Madeline?"

"Yea, Is Paris around?"

"She's unpacking and she's been a complete head case since we got here"

"A guy?"

"No a Girl"

"I'd never would have thought-"

"No! I don't mean like that"

"Like what then?"

"Like" Rory stopped as she realized how even talking to Madeline for a second she started talking like a 16 year old. "We ran into this girl, Gwen, this morning. And Paris started acting like she was meeting royalty or something"

"Gwen…" Madeline grew quiet as she was thinking. "Gwen Saunders?"

"If I knew I'd probably have more of a clue as to why Paris is acting like this. "

the sounds of a scuffle ensued and then Rory heard A familiar lower voice.
"Tall , Curly Blonde hair , big blue eyes , impeccable fashion sense. ?" Louisa asked

"Yea"

"That's Gwen Saunders. "

"Okay by now I get that ,but who IS Gwen Saunders?"

Louisa let out a low laugh.

" Chilton Royalty , she left before you transferred, She's a year older than us , has ALWAYS been perfect .The girls wanted to be her and the guys wanted to do her. Paris totally looked up to her and Tristan worshipped her. They dated until her dad got transferred to North Carolina. No one's heard from her since. Tristan was Heart broken until you showed up , Paris turned more neurotic than usual. And that is the story of Gwen. , now before we got off track we wanted to ask Paris some things so pull her out of her trance please."

Rory rolled her ryes as getting brushed off so quickly but her curiosity had been satisfied. So with a half smile she approached Paris's closed door and knocked. Paris opened the door and Rory caught sight of a mess inside while Paris had a brush in one hand and blouse in the other. "Yes?"

"Phone " Paris reached for the phone with a glance at the clock.
"Can you help me get dressed after I get off?"

Puzzled Rory answered with a "Sure" before walking away.

After a frenzied half hour going through Paris's closet trying to find an outfit that wouldn't pale in comparison to whatever she was SURE Gwen would be wearing. They found themselves heading to the dining hall as Paris chattered on and on about old Gwen memories.
After acquiring food they scanned the dining area searching for Gwen. Rory spotted her as she stood and raised a hand in greeting. She had to agree with Louisa's description of her , this girl was classically beautiful , with long Blonde curls pulled off her face by a jeweled barrette and classically tailored , fashionable clothes.

"Gwen" Paris called out rushing over to her. Rory set down her tray waiting for introductions. After more hugging (and Rory never had pegged Paris as a hugger) Paris finally introduced them.

"Rory this is Gwen Saunders , she was a fellow chiltoniite for awhile. " She paused

"Gwen ,Rory Gilmore , my best friend"

Gwen held out a hand "Nice to meet you Rory " she said with a pleasant smile as she seated herself once again.
"So Paris , I Always thought you'd be at Harvard"

"Plans Change" She announced with a smile , "I want to know about you Gwen"

"What about me?"

"Well , what have you been up to since I last saw you?"

Gwen smiled as she spoke." Well I did the normal stuff I guess , finished high school , made some mistakes , fell in love , got my heart broken , came to Yale , went Abroad last year and fell in love for real. What about you Paris? Boyfriend? Were you valedictorian?"

Paris glanced down as she spoke.

"Rory was valedictorian , actually , As for boyfriend I AM seeing someone right now"

"Is he cute?" "He's distinguished" Gwen wrinkled her nose as she spoke .
"I don't want to offend you Paris but where I come from" Distinguished" means old."

"He is older than us, but I think it adds a quality"

"Does he have a name?"

"Not that I can share right now" Paris bit her lip. "Maybe later."

Rory sensed the uncomfortable feeling at the table as Paris fell silent. .
"So Gwen.." She started "You fell in love for real? Tell us about him"

Gwen's face lit up as she began speaking . "He's handsome , and smart , he's amusing and caring , " She held out her left hand. "He's my Fiancée"

Paris perked up at that and began to show some excitement .

"That is a beautiful ring Gwen. When's the wedding? Does he go here? Do I know him?"

Gwen giggled.

"Yes he goes here , the wedding is in June ,and as for do you know him .Well you used to." "Who is he?"

"Tristan DuGrey"
