Hey everyone, here's the interactions...they all start here. Sorry it's not much but it's all I could get out tonight.

Thanks again to the reviewers!

Enjoy chapter 6.

"Oh, right! So have you seen your room yet?" Rory tried to change the subject.

"Actually I haven't. Do you want to come see it with me?" He knew she might not go with him but he had to try.

"Well…"

"Well…. ummm, sure I guess it wouldn't hurt. Lead the way." She replied not really sure why she had hesitated.

She followed Tristan first to the diary room and then to the HOH bedroom. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the size of the bedroom. The king size bed was covered with deep red and gold silk, dark chocolate brown pillows and the most comfortable looking housecoat. There was a dresser, two blow-up chairs a big beanbag and two night tables as well as a small refrigerator stocked with sodas, beer and water.

On one of the two night tables stood a big basket full of goodies. In the basket they found bags of Doritos, Wunderbars (his favourite chocolate bar), a Discman and Good Charlotte CD and a picture frame containing a picture of Tristan and two other guys in what she guessed was their Military school uniforms.

"Those guys were my best friends in Military school." Tristan informed her when he saw she had picked up the frame.

"What was it like there Tristan?" Rory asked him seriously. It was the first time since they'd walked into the house that she actually tried to have a serious conversation with him.

"It was extremely hard and they were extremely tough on me. Those guys made it all the better and I think that place actually changed me a lot." He suddenly felt really comfortable around her. In a way it was like they had always been really good friends.

"Do you want to sit down?" he asked motioning to the comfy bed.

Without replying Rory joined him on the red comforter. "Someone's gonna sleep well in here tonight." She said as she ran her hand on the material.

"So Mary, what have you been doing all this time? How's life? How's the love life?" He had a million questions and he wasn't going to waste a minute of the time they had.

"Well, as you know I gave up on going to Harvard and decided to go to Yale. I'm extremely happy with my choice and I love all my classes. Plus Paris ended up being my roommate so it's not so bad. Oh yeah, by the way, Paris and I became friends after you left. Life's great but my love life isn't really existent. There was this guy I was seeing last year at school but that's over. Enough about me, I'm babbling, sorry!"

"I like listening to you talk Ror, I haven't heard you talk in way too long."

"Well, now it's your turn. What have you been up to? How's life? How's your love life?" She asked in return.

"As you've heard I own a bookstore café that I absolutely love. Things have been better since I left Military School and as for love well, there's nothing to tell. I go on dates every once in a while but that's it."

"You mean to tell me that Mr. King of Chilton doesn't have as many girlfriends as he did in high school? What's going on Tristan?" She couldn't help herself when it came to his track record.

"You wound me Mar. I'm serious though. I just realized that life was too short to spend so many times with people who meant nothing to me. Plus I don't think it was fair to them to use them like that." Words were just coming out of his mouth without him even thinking about it.

"You surprise me Tristan. It looks like you really changed a lot in Military School." His words had surprised her a lot and she really hoped he had changed. Maybe now they'd be able to become friends.

Just then there was a knock on the door. Rory and Tristan both looked at each other wondering who it could be.

"Tristan! Open up, it's Paris." Came the voice on the other side of the door.

Tristan opened the door and let her in. Paris just stood there looking at the two as if they had done something wrong. Boy was she paranoid.

"So, what have you guys been talking about?" She asked Rory sitting on next to her on the bed.

"Actually we were planning this huge take over, where we kick everyone out starting with the most paranoid one." Tristan answered her knowing that it would piss her off.

"Funny Tristan! But really, what were you two talking about?" She asked looking to Rory for an answer.

"We were just catching up Paris. You have nothing to worry about. I'm gonna go for a shower. See you guys for breakfast?" She asked her two housemates as she opened the door.

"So Tris, what's going on with you? You look so serious this morning? Has Rory gotten to you?" Paris was curious no. The pair had looked so serious and FRIENDLY when she'd walked in and she found it strange.

"Chill Paris. I'm just acting like a human being. I'd like to become friends with Rory so we were just chatting and getting to know each other. That okay mom?" Tristan threw back at her as he hit her on the arm.

How 'bout breakfast? Pancakes, sausages and eggs sound good? I'll even cook." Tristan announced as he walked to the door and walked out.

So, once again Tristan cooked a meal for the rest of the house. Everyone sat at the table for breakfast where they had a great conversation about their hometowns. Nobody really revealed anything about who they might know in the house. It would put them in weird positions and it might make some people uncomfortable.

After breakfast Tristan gave the rest of the guests a tour of his bedroom before everyone changed into their swimsuits to head out to the backyard.

Rory and Jess both chose the two side by side lawn chairs where they got comfortable with a book while the others went for a swim or just sat at the table talking.

Jess knew that it was the perfect time to start a first conversation but he just didn't know where to start. So he sat there silently just looking at her and thinking of what to say.

Rory could feel a pair of eyes on her and she knew it had to be Jess. She wondered why he was just staring at her. Why wasn't he saying anything? She continued to read her book for a few minutes not wanting to say anything. Wondering how long he would keep it up. After trying to no avail to read her book she finally gave up and looked at Jess.

"Jess? Why are you staring at me?" She asked bluntly.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to." He said quickly.

"Jess, if you have something to say, just say it k?"

"Whatever, I have nothing to say."

"Okay then, go back to your book."

And that's what he did. He felt stupid that she had caught him so openly staring at her. How could he not be able to talk to her? He decided then that he had to do it today. He couldn't go to bed tonight without having said anything to her.

"Ror?" He finally got out.

"Yeah Jess?" she asked without looking up from her book.

"Well…." He started before being cut off.

"Hey Rory, is he bothering you?" Came Dean's voice from behind them.

"Actually Dean he's not, we're talking." Rory said to him a little annoyed.

"Get out of here Dean!" Jess told him as he got up from his chair and took a step towards him.

"You wanna fight me Jess?" Dean spit at him as he took a step forward too.

This chapter ends here!
