The Same Yet Different

Usual Disclaimers Apply

Jess opened his locker and started to pull out the books that he needed for class. When he closed his locker and turned to walk to class Tristan was standing against the lockers, blocking his path. Jess sighed. "What Tristan?"

"Nothing, I was jut wondering if you have seen Paris today? She's looking hot!"

Jess looked over to see Paris, the queen of Chilton, walking with all of her boy toys at her side. Jess just shook his head. "Ok, so....What exactly is your point?" Jess looked back at his best friend who looked to be drooling over the girl.

"I just wanted to bring her to your attention; I mean I know you've had to have seen her already this morning....But man!" Tristan took off to follow the group of guys that were following Paris.

Jess again shook his head and yelled after his friend. "Just remember to make it to class on time!" Tristan just waved his hand towards Jess. Jess smirked and headed to his first class.

*~*~*

Jess walked towards Tristan's locker, he wondered if Tristan was able to at least kiss Paris's feet at all today. Tristan shut his locker and turned to Jess, then put his armed around his shoulder and started walking towards the door. Jess looked over at him. "So did you get to touch your beloved girlfriend?" Jess asked jokingly.

Tristan pulled his arm off of Jess's shoulder and glared at him. "She's not my girlfriend." Then his eyes brightened up. "But I did get to touch her skirt!" Tristan stated as he opened the front doors of the large school building.

Jess shook his head laughing and followed Tristan outside to his car. "So what did it feel like all mighty Tristan?"

"Well I actually just touched the waistband, and then when I started to slide my hand down one of her "bodyguards" kind of punched me in the gut. So I guess it felt like pain." Tristan said as he waited for Jess to unlock the car door.

Jess again laughed. "Well at least Paris didn't see you, so you won't seem weak to her."

Tristan and Jess climbed into Jess's car. "But I'm not weak, so what's your point?" Tristan asked.

"Well, compared to her 'bodyguard' your weak apparently." Jess snickered as he turned the radio up.

Tristan just glared at Jess, then started singing along with Jess and the radio.

*~*~*

Jess parked his car outside of Luke's; him and Tristan climbed out and went inside for some coffee and food. Both laughing and cutting up, Jess was unaware of who was following behind them. The boys entered the diner and went to a table and sat down, Luke came and took their orders.

"Rory, I need you to take these plates to table two." Luke ordered as Rory entered the diner.

She just turned back to him, sighed then followed his orders. She grabbed the plates the turned and started towards the tables, but then stopped realizing the tables weren't numbered. "Luke! Which one is two?"

"Just take it to Jess!"

Rory took in a deep breath, but not allowing anyone see her do it. She brought the plates to Jess and Tristan and set them in front of them. "Here."

Tristan stared at her as she done this, not realizing that Jess and Rory were staring back at him.

"Can I help you?" Rory asked sarcastically.

"Uh... Uh well can I get a piece of apple pie please." Tristan asked trying to keep his words in order.

Rory just looked at him, then back at Jess. "Jess you might want to think about getting your friend some help." Rory said with her hands on her hips, and then she turned and headed up the stairs.

"She's kinda feisty huh?" Tristan asked watching Rory walk away.

"More like 'she's kinda not my type huh?' That fits better." Jess said starting to eat his fries.

Tristan looked back at Jess and started to eat also. "Well thanks for the support, friend."

"Anytime."
