Chapter. 4 :

"So, have you told her about what happened after she left?" Paris asked Tristan, as they walked into Chilton that monday after having had lunch outside.

"No, she's been busy with her mom all weekend. I was talking to her ove the phone on saturday morning, I was about to tell her, when I heard her yell at her mom who seemed to have grabbed the phone and told her 'no cellphones this weekend. and no phones, either. phone free weekend. just you and me, mini-me.' Before rory got the phone back, said bye and hung up. And we haven't had any classes together yet and she hadn't showed up when classes started." Tristan told Paris, right before noticing the person they were talking about at her locker.

"She didn't show up on time? Do you think another deer 'HIT' her?" Paris asked him, still doubting that one, when Tristan was already on his way towards his girlfriend.

She was looking through her locker, but seemed to be having no luck in in finding what she was looking for. He only gave Paris a amused look when he saw the annoying guy from last friday's party come up to her.

"Loose something?" He asked her, as he picked up a pocketbook from the floor and handed it to her. She took it and blushed bit.

"Yeah, I was looking for that. It's just been a weird day. I mean, I keep getting these looks and it's the first day of hell all over again." She told him, as she stuffed the pocket book into her surprisngly under-stuffed backpack.

"Hell?" He asked, though he had a vague idea of what she was refering to.

"Chilton. So, how has your day been so far?" She asked him, closing her locker.

"Oh, it's been going okay, I guess. But man, they pile alot of home..." Chris was telling her, when before his very eyes Rory was pinned up against a locker by that annoying blonde guy from the party last friday. Obviously Rory knew him because she didn't push him away or anything, she just reciprocated.

Then she remembered Chris, and broke away from Tristan, blushing furiously. Tristan still pinning her against a locker, as he looked Chris over and then said : "Hi, I'm Tristan Dugrey. Rory's boyfriend. You seem familiar, were you at Madeline's last friday?" Chris just stood there, gaping. Tristan off course knew he'd been there, but saying that would be no fun.

"Your dating him? I mean, him? Gotta say, not the type I thought you went for." Chris told him, after almost a minutes silence. Tristan narrowed his eyes. Who did this guy think he was? He was the new guy, and he didn't know rory, how could he know her "type"?

"Tristan's always a jerk in school. He has an reputation to uphold." She told him, grinning as she pushed at his chest to make him move.

"Can't be much of a reputation, then." Chris told her, as people started to gather around. Yeah, there had been rumors about gilmore and Dugrey but they had been since she started. Why would this one be any more real? Well, maybe the fact that he had just pinned her up against a locker like Summer and kissed her. Except he seemed more protective of this one.

"Actually, he's what you might call the king of chilton. But I've always thought was a stupid thing to say, but he is." Rory told him, when her brain kicked in. This was supposed to be a secret. For this to stay like one, he shouldn't have done what he did. All color drained for her face.

Next thing Tristan knew was that Rory slapped him, looking furious. "You idiot!" She told him, before walking away. And people stunned, around them. She avoided him for the rest of the day. He finally catches up with her when she's waiting for her bus.

"Rory, let me explain. Please." He tells her, as he sat down next to her and she made a move to get up. She looks at him, she's still very angry at him. How could he?

"They would have known anyway. You see, ..." He told her, but before he could say more she said : "You told them?" hurt and angry. I mean, he had a reason. He never wanted to keep it a secret.

"No, after you left the party, last friday Paris kinda let it slip. But she was drunk, so it's not like she did it sober and intentionally." because even though she had done this, Paris was still one of his oldest childhood friends.

"Well, suprisingly that makes me feel better. But you stil shouldn't have done that. I didn't know, and off course I'd beb shocked. What were you even thinking?" She told him, as she saw her bus getting closer and closer.

"That's just it, I wasn't. I just saw you talking to that guy. I just wanted to let him, and everyone else, know that you weren't single. I know selfish, but I don't want to loose you." He told her, his eyes honest and innocent as they could be.

"I get it, Tristan, but this doesn't totally fix it. I have to go. Bye." She told him, before she gave him a quick kiss on the lips before darting into the bus.

TBC...

A/N : Okay, I have this planned a bit ahead of time. Or you know what I mean, right now I totally know where I'm heading. So, don't worry. lol. I'm sorry it took me so long to update, It's just I've not been in a Trory mood lately.

And OMFG! lol. It's 5:04 am here and tonight, in the U.S, Sark Anna come back. I hope the writers haven't screwed over here charchter. She kicks ass. Please, TPTB, no romance between them. Because if so just censored for bad language ? lol.

See, no romance. Just say NO to Aark! She doesn't need no one, and the only person Sark needs is Sydney. I hope this ep. has the lime kiss. :p And yes, she is probably pretending to be Lauren, but hello, still lips touching and crap. So, we still get that, so hah! Annoying people saying stuff like that, like it matters.
