A/n- Yes, I have returned with chapter 2 of Window. Like I said, Rory is OOC still, and the eye references will be less.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed. Sorry to those who did not like my story, or felt that it should be made to their liking. I do understand that some people may not like it, that they have constructive criticism(which I am open to), and that they may have their own ideas.
Disclaimer- check chapter 1
And now, here's chapter 2 of Window.
English, final hour, Monday-
"It looks as though we only have a few minutes left, so how about one more poem. Who would like to go? Ah, very well, Mr. DuGrey, the floor is yours." Miss Hamsing cheerily replied.
As Tristan walked up to the podium, all the others looked on with awe as they waited for him to begin his poem, one that they were sure would be the best in the class. Then they saw him take out his acoustic guitar and tune it. They figured his song would be funny, witty, and playful, without being to perfect. Boy, were they wrong.
"Ok, this is called "She's"," that was all he said before lowering is crystal eyes to his guitar.
Tristan took a deep breath and played the opening chords to his song, his original work, that he, Tristan DuGrey, was actually going to play for not only his class, but also the girl who it was for.
She's the only one there for me.
With just one look,
I was taken.
Taken from this cold hard place some call home.
Taken to the warmth of her love.
Even when she refuses to say it,
I know it's there,
And I know it's for me.
With her angelic smile,
I can see that she
Is the only one who can save me.
(Chorus)
She is the only one
Who can find the true me.
She is the only one I want,
The only one I need.
If only she could see what she means to me.
Then she,
Would be,
Always in my heart.
No matter what I do,
She always sees the truth.
Even when I try to hide
Behind my fake façade,
She finds my real emotion.
With her bright blue eyes,
I can see
All the love she holds for me.
(Chorus)
She is the only one
Who can find the true me.
She is the only one I want,
The only one I need.
If only she could see what she means to me.
Then she,
Would be,
Always in my heart.
Yeah
She's the one I need
She's the one to save
Me.
Once the last chord had finally drifted away, all Tristan could see was 20 faces with mouths all agape. No one could believe that Tristan DuGrey, the Tristan DuGrey, had just poured his soul to his English class. It was surreal. No one moved, no one even went to make a sound. Finally, Rory stood up and began clapping. As soon as it registered to everyone else as to what she was doing, the rest of the class joined in.
"Well Mr. DuGrey, I have to say, we were certainly not expecting that. Thank you very much for that lovely song!" Miss Hamsing concluded.
Before Tristan could get another word in, the final bell rang and the class began to scurry out.
"We will continue the presentations tomorrow class!" was all Miss Hamsing could get out over the noise.
Rory was still standing at her seat, and Tristan was still standing at the front of the room, guitar in hands. Neither wanted to blink or move for fear of the moment passing. It wasn't until Miss Hamsing mentioned that she was having a French Lit. Meeting in her room in 5 minutes that it struck the two teens that they should get moving.
Neither teen made a sound, but both began to leave the room, still in awe of what just happened. Tristan took his time, because for one of the first times, he really wanted to just avoid Rory Gilmore.
Rory, on the other hand, knew she had to talk to him, but she knew that if she didn't hurry, she would be late for the Franklin meeting, and if she were late, Paris would kill her, then make her write the story on her death.
Tuesday morning, Gilmore- Danes home-
"Rory! Hurry up! We must go bother Luke before you leave for school!" Lorelei called to her daughter.
"You know mom, you could have just bothered him before he left for work this morning." Rory pointed out as the two Gilmore Girls began the walk to the diner.
"Aw but that's no fun! You know that I need you there to be the ref, and that I need Kirk to be there just so he can annoy Luke more!" Lorelei whined in defense. "Anyway, enough about me and my husband. I want more details on the DuGrey boy! Was he a good singer? Was the song pretty? Can I borrow his guitar anytime soon?" The last question got a look of pure amusement from Rory, who was trying to act like she was considering the last one. Thankfully, Luke saved Rory from answering any questions by setting down coffee at their table and kissing Lorelei. Without warning, Rory grabbed her to- go cup and ran out the door while saying good- bye to her annoyed mother.
"Hey! She didn't answer my questions!" Lorelei pouted to Luke, who just groaned in response. "Coffee man! Amuse me! Dance Coffee Man, Dance!"
Chilton, Tuesday, Lunch Time-
Tristan had still been avoiding Rory, not that it was actually that hard, it was just demanding. He had to get his friends to constantly make it look like they were doing something important. He figured he didn't have to worry during lunch because he thought Rory wouldn't want to make a scene in front of the whole school.
'I really should just go talk to him', Rory thought as she sat at lunch with Paris, Madeline, and Louise. Without realizing it, Rory slipped into an old habit and began reading, while the other three girls went on talking.
A/n2- yeah I'm ending it here because I have a writers block and I have no idea what else to write. Oh- the song "She" belongs to me, because I wrote it…yeah. Reviews are welcome!
