Hello all! I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but well, you know me, busy, busy, busy. It's also becoming increasingly harder to write because I'm slowly but surely becoming a Rory/Logan fan. I don't even think he's that cute, and he's like a Tristan clone without Chad Michael Murrays looks. But........they're just so cute together on the show. Grrr, well anyway here's the chapter, hope you enjoy.

Chapter 3: Avoidance

"Rory, Loverboy's here."

"What?" I asked surprised.

"Look outside your window." I glanced outside and sure enough there was a silver porshe sitting in the driveway. Two seconds later the doorbell rang.

"Mom, can you get that?"

"Why? He's your boyfriend."

"I know, but I'm not ready yet!."

"Fine, fine, I'll get the door." I heard the door being thrown open.

"Tristan." My mother said.

"Ms. Gilmore." He replied.

"It's Lorelai."

"Okay......Lorelai."

"Now that we've met I need to lay down a couple rules." 'OH, NO!' I thought.

"Tristan, what a pleasant surprise." I said, interrupting my mom and coming out of my room. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd give you a ride so you wouldn't have to take the bus anymore." I smiled at him.

"Rory, Tristan and I were actually just about to have a little talk." My mother cut in.

"And as fun as that might be, if we leave now, we'll have time to stop for coffee, and that would make the day so much better, so I think we should just get going." I said, in a rush.

"Fine, we'll continue our conversation later. Have a good day."

"Bye" I followed Tristan out to his car.

"Where did you want to get coffee?" He asked.

"Umm, could we go to Luke's?"

"Just lead the way."He said and we got into the car. We sat in silence for the minute it took to get there.

"So...,this is Lukes." I said once we got inside and sat down at a table.

"It's nice," He reponded.

"So...." We said at the same time and laughed. Suddenly Miss Patty walked over.

"Rory, who is this fine specimen of man you have sitting here?" She asked, batting her eyelashes suggestively at Tristan.

"This is Tristan, he's my friend...well.....boyfriend...I guess."

"Wow, Rory, you don't waste anytime, do you?"

"Miss Patty!"

"I'm going, I'm going." She said walking out and pulling out a cellphone.

"The whole town will know about us in less than five minutes." I said to Tristan.

"This is a very strange town you live in."

"I've noticed."

"Speaking of people knowing, do you want to tell Chilton people we're dating?" He asked, unsure of himself.

"Umm, do you think maybe we could wait a while before telling them?"

"For you Mary, I'd wait Forever."

'Yeah, right' I thought. "Rebecca, we have to leave now." I called out, impatiently.

"One second."

"Rebecca, do you want to be late for your first day of school?" 'And I wouldn't mind making it to work on time for once either.' I mumbled quietly.

"I want to look pretty!"

"Yeah.......well......I want to be on time, but it appears we all can't get what we want."

"Hold your coffee, I'm all done." She said and stepped out into the hallway.

"Awww, my little baby is starting school."

"Mom, I thought we had to go."

"Just one picture...two....ten! Ten pictures?"

"Fine, but hurry up!" I quickly snapped 12 various photos of her.

"MOM!"

"Alright, alright, let's go." As I stepped into the hallway I heard another door slowly opening. I jumped back into the apartment and quickly closed the door.

"You know what? Why don't we go out the fire escape?"

"What? Mom, you're acting crazy."

"Oh C'mon, it'll be fun..........you know you want to."

"Mom, we're leaving, out the front door, right now." She said and walked out the door.

"But..." I said before quickly following. The hallway was empty. I let out a sigh of relief.

"C'mon." Rebecca said and pulled me into the elevator.
