5 a.m.

A.N. ok people I got my five reviews insert happy dance I am glad to know people like my story idea (even if my writing isn't all that great). And this one is longer almost 5 pages but still not a whole lot of Trory action I'll try to get more in next chapter with some Tristan P.O.V.

"So Ror' what have you been up to since I've last seen you?" Chris asked. They had been riding in the car for the last half hour and until then it had been in silence.

"Not much just studying and doing homework, with the occasional movie night with Mom." Rory didn't try to come across as rude but all she could think about was Tristan.

"So your starting classes tomorrow, they are already a little into their school year but you coming from Chilton should have no problem at all."

"Probably not. So Dad will I be living with you or bunking in the dorms?"

"You'll be in the dorms. Whitaker Hall actually, that is the female dormitory."

"Oh, ok I guess that's fine. So when will I see you?"

"On Sunday's there is a family day and parents can come and take their kids somewhere or just stay on base and visit with them. So then we can hang out."

The rest of the ride was silent except for the occasional "look at that" and "is this station all right?"

When they arrived at the base no one was there to meet them. They just drove right through those huge steel gates and into the campus. They passed some very stately looking buildings that Chris said were the administration buildings and later the classrooms that looked almost as bad as Chilton.

Finally they got to a relatively small but in good condition building with a sign saying Whitaker Hall.

"So this is it." Rory said still trying to grasp the idea of living here. She really did think that she would be living with her Dad.

"Yep, this is it." He took a manila envelope out of a bag in the back seat and opened it. "You will be in room… 209 and will be rooming with a girl from southern Michigan named Brooke." He looked over and smiled at me. "You'll be fine. Here's your schedule and Brooke I'm sure will tell you were everything is. I'll see if I can stop by tomorrow after I'm done with my classes."

He then got out of the car and went around to get her bags from the back. Rory slowly followed him and took the bags hugged him goodbye and went into the building.

Inside she walked passed door after door until finally finding on the second floor in about the middle room 209. She set her bags down and slowly knocked.

After knocking a few times a girl with long blond hair that looked like it was bleached and it probably was from the sun judging by the dark tan she had. She looked to be about 5'7" and very fit.

"Hey, are you Rory?" When I nodded she continued. "Great, I'm Brooke and I have been her for three years, it sounds like a drag but this place is really fun. Let me help you with your bags. I have the red bed cause I can't stand sleeping with a window at my feet and red is just my favorite color. I would ask if you like blue but since your wearing like all blue I guess you do. We are going to have so much fun. So why are you here?"

"Oh wow, um blue sounds great. I'm here because my I thought I should spend a little bit more time with my Dad and this is where he is so here I am. So… what time do we have to go to bed and get up? My schedule says that my first class is at 7:15 so what we get up at like six?" Rory was surprised when her new roommate starting laughing.

"Wow your in for a wake up call. Your first class may start at 7:15 but we get up at 5 a.m. every morning at the latest. At 5: 45 we eat breakfast and at 6:15 we have our morning training. You know, 100 push ups, 200 crunches and a 20 minute run then we come back here, shower, change into regular day clothes and head off to classes." At Rory's surprised look she stopped. "Don't worry you'll do fine for most it's the academic part that kills. How about you unpack and then we can head over to the dining hall and rec. room cause I don't know about you but I'm starving!"

Twenty-five minutes later they were on their way over to the dining hall. They were walking with some other girls. They had been introduced to Rory as Liz, Kat, and Natalie or just Nat. They seemed really nice and Rory was surprised that a lot of these people here weren't all complete delinquents.

As they walked into the dining hall the first thing that came to Rory's mind was of course coffee.

"Ok, first off you guys should know that I am the worlds second biggest coffee drinker. The only person that loves it more is my mother by a long shot."

Laughing the girls pointed her to the coffee station. "Its not that good but it is still coffee."

After they all had something to eat and had all experienced how much food a Gilmore could eat they went into the rec. room where there was a bunch of guys playing poker.

"All right let me introduce everyone to you. These guys are like the hottest in the school so beware." Brooke said.

"Beware of what?" Rory and the others asked.

"I don't know, beware of the hotness!" Brooke said laughing. "So let me point each one out. The one on the far left with the red hair is my boyfriend Jake. Next to him is Brian, Nick, Tristan, John, and then Caleb." At the mention of Tristan, Rory paled noticeably. "Ror' are you alright? You look a little pale. The hotness getting to you?" She asked jokingly.

About then the guys noticed them, but Tristan didn't see her because he had his back turned and was facing the other way.

"Hey Brooke, Nat, Liz, Kat. Do you guys want to play?" He asked but then noticed Rory. "And I also extend that invitation to you person I don't know."

All the other girls just wanted to watch but Rory decided to play.

"Who is winning?" She asked sitting down. Determined not to make eye contact with Tristan who was now staring at her openly.

"I am," Tristan said finding his voice.

"Oh well then it will be easy for me to win!"

"And why is that?" Jake asked.

"Well, if Tristan is beating you guys and assuming Tristan hasn't improved his poker skills greatly, I can kick all your asses." Rory said triumphantly.

"Mary, I played you once in poker. Yes you beat me, rather badly too, but I was really drunk and it was your birthday party I had to let you win." Tristan said smirking.

"Your on Bible Boy. I will prove to you that I am a better poker player than you, now since your not drunk and it's not my birthday or yours let's deal."

Natalie, Brooke, Kat and Liz had been sitting back and watching the show where quite mesmerized.

"They have so much sexual tension you could cut it with a knife." Nat said.

"What's up with the name calling between them, it's obviously not new. And they already know each other. Think they dated?" Asked Liz.

" No, if they had dated it would be really awkward, I think they just liked each other with out knowing it. We just have to sit back and enjoy the show," answered Brooke.

A.N. thanks you guys for reviewing and please keep at it! I'll try to have another chapter up within the next couple days sooner if I get lots of reviews: D
