A/N: Ok, so I lied. Oh, well. I'm bored. I've read all the updated stories I wanted to. Plus I'm really exited because one of my best friends is back from alternative school. He was there for ten months. Also, did you guys think my story was over? Because it isn't (obviously). But trust me it's far from over. *evil cackle*
After Rory got home that day she ran to her room and jumped onto her bed, curling up in a ball and pulling the covers around her tightly. A huge smile plastered on her face. Tristan. The one word rang through her head. Tristan. The thought alone caused joy to spread like wild fire. She had a boyfriend. She had a boyfriend. It sounded so great in her head. Tristan. Boyfriend. A small scream escaped her lips, caused by her adrenaline.
Devin was laying on his bed, doing homework when the next door slammed and a few seconds later a small squeal came through the wall. Rory was squealing? This had to be good. Standing up, he dropped the text book on the floor and walked from his room. Pushing her door open, he saw that his sister was in a tight ball, laying on the bed. "Okay, do you care to explain why you are laying in a ball and screaming for no apparent reason?"
She looked at her brother, "Are you even capable of knocking?"
"Wouldn't know, I've never tried."
"And why am I not surprised?"
"You tell me." She narrowed her eyes at him.
"You invader of privacy."
He ignored her, "Why were you screaming?"
"I don't want to tell you."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't."
"You know you do."
"I think not."
"I think so."
"You do that."
"Coffee addict."
"You are too."
"Not nearly as much as you."
"Bite me."
"I'll leave that to Tristan." A huge smile spread across the girl's face and she didn't say anything. Her brother, who had expected some biting comeback was shocked at seeing his sister's face. "Uh, Ror, what is that look?"
"Tristan." She said softly.
"What happened?"
"Nothing." She said quickly, knowing perfectly well that within a few minuets her brother would know what had happened.
"Liar."
"Nothing happened."
"Why did you come home late?"
She'd never lied to her brother and she wasn't about to start. "I was talking to someone."
"Tristan?"
"Maybe."
"What happened?"
"Nothing." He grabbed her face and brought it inched from his, looking at her closely.
He released her after a few seconds and said smugly, "Your lips are red. And the swelling is going down, but they're still bigger than normal." She put a hand over her mouth and turned to the mirror across the room, removing her hand. Upon seeing her reflection, she smiled and licked her lips, remembering the taste of Tristan's. Devin gasped, "You made out with Tristan!" He screamed.
"Well, I don't see where it's so wrong to make out with your boyfriend." His jaw dropped to the floor, boyfriend?
"Yeah, and who's that?"
"Tristan, you dumbass." She said, smiling at her brother.
He laughed, "I never thought you two would get together." And now that they were, it scared the hell out of him. The school player and his little sister.
She smiled, "Well, we did, now go away, I have homework."
He stood up and smiled at her, "Later."
"Bye." She said as he closed the door behind him. Rory and Tristan. A match made in heaven. Or hell, take your pick. On one hand, they were perfect for each other. Both cared for the other and both were intense, giving them a raw, true relationship. On the other hand, being perfect for each other can be your first mistake. For one, they cared about each other so much. What was that saying? You only hurt the one you love. Making both vulnerable to the other. They were strong and passionate. Intense, making their wills collide to the point of causing even a bystander to be broken if one hurt the other.
Yes, like he'd said before, a fatal attraction. But, he also knew that this was what both needed. Rory could change Tristan. He knew it. The boy had never chased a girl until he met Lorelai Leigh Hayden. Never. And Tristan could be the one to make Rory accept the fact that guys could look at her and care for her romantically. After the incident at her old school with an ex-boyfriend, Marco, she thought that no guy saw her like that. Yes, both needed the other. And that thought made him smile. But with his mid wondering, the smile fell as something else popped into his head, unwelcome and unwanted.
What if they went out for a while and had a messy breakup, what if they couldn't stand the sight of each other? Where would that leave him?
NEXT DAY, SCHOOL
Rory took a steadying breath. Her first day with her and Tristan as a couple. Girls would hate her even more and all would be catty exept for Erin, Katie, and Natalie. She shook her head, clearing it.
Devin noticed how quiet she was being and he turned to her, "Ror, don't worry. It's just a school."
"Oh, no. This isn't 'just a school'. This is hell, cleverly disguised as a school. Hell, with all it's evil creatures dead set on making me miserably just because I've taken Lucifer himself hostage." She told him, deadly serious.
He looked at her strangely, "Is that is your twisted way to say that this school is evil and all the girls will hate you because you're dating Tristan?"
"Yes."
"Well, see, you'll get a lot more attention from the guys too because now that you are dating the most popular Freshman and you're completely off limits, not like before when you were only friends with him."
"Gee, thanks. That makes me feel a lot better!" Her voice was close to frantic.
"But don't worry!" He said quickly, knowing how nervous attention from guys made her, "If any girls touch you then trust me, the other three toughest most badass girls in ninth grade will be make her wish she was dead. And if a guy comes near you, he won't even have time to say anything because me, Josh, Tray, Kaleb, and especially Tristan will kick his ass. And after we tell Garrett, he will force us to show him where the kid lives so that he can get his ass whipped again."
She smiled at her brother, "Is that your twisted way of telling me that I now have nine body guards?"
"Yes."
She turned to the huge stone building, "Let's go then."
"Let's go." They walked into the school and towards Rory's locker. Tristan was leaning against her locker, talking to Erin. Before they got there, Erin walked away and another girl walked over, obviously wanting to flirt with him. It was the red head from a few weeks ago. Rory tensed up and Devin whispered to her, "Just wait." Tristan said something to the tall girl and she turned, walking away with a scowl on her face. Rory smiled and relaxed. Her brother turned to her, "See, he may be a player, but he's not stupid."
Tristan smiled when he saw his best friend and his girlfriend. Girlfriend. It sounded so good. Especially when that girl was Rory Hayden. "Hey Dev." Devin nodded and smirked. Tristan wrapped an arm around Rory's waist and kissed her lightly on the lips, "Hey."
She smiled, "Hey."
"Ow, ow, ow, my eyes, brother present here!"
"Then go find Erin." Rory told him, as if he was stupid.
"Fine, I will!" He said in a mock hurt voice and walked away in a huff.
Rory turned to open her locker, but it wouldn't budge. She turned to Tristan, "Could you um, you know?" She asked, motioning to the locker.
He smirked, "Mary, Mary, Mary, what would you do without me?"
"Well, I would be called by my name, not Mary,"
"But it's so boring to just be called one name!"
"I could sleep later on the weekends, without anyone calling me at seven on a Saturday morning,"
"It was only once! And I was bored!"
She ignored him and kept counting on her fingers, "I wouldn't have to listen to evil Korn,"
"I like Korn."
"I would have never gotten a note telling me to go to a completely isolated place with another person. It could have been a stalker."
"I would have protected you."
"If it was a stalker then you wouldn't have been there."
"I'm amazing." She rolled her eyes and pulled books out of her now open locker. He stared at the side of her face while she did. Feeling Tristan's gaze on her, she smiled and turned her head, "What?" he just shook his head, smiling. She turned back to her locker and her hair fell from behind the ear it was tucked under, creating a sheet of brown and blue, hiding her face. Tristan reached forward and tucked it back behind her ear so he could see her face. She closed the locker and turned to him.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Ready?"
"Yup." He wrapped an arm around her waist and they walked down the hall together. People were looking at them strangely. True, it was common to see Tristan Dugrey and Rory Hayden walking together, his arm around her waist. Ever one was used to it by now, but something was different. They stopped in front of her homeroom, "So I'll see you in second period?"
"Well, considering we have the same class, I would say so."
"Funny."
"I know."
He leaned down and kissed her slowly, his hands slipped behind her neck and then slid to her waist, "Mister Dugrey! Miss Hayden!" a loud voice said beside them, they sprang apart and Rory started to blush but had a small smirk in place, Tristan just smirked. The headmaster looked very annoyed, "You know better than this. You both have detention on Wednesday for public displays of affection!"
They looked from the floor to each other and back to their shoes, the temptation to laugh was overwhelming as the large man went on to explain why kissing in public was rude and unacceptable. When he was done he handed both a detention slip and walked away, muttering about how children would be the death of him. Rory and Tristan looked at each other and burst into laughter.
After they recovered Tristan turned to her and kissed her forehead gently, "Bye Mary."
"Later Bible Boy." She smiled widely as he walked away. Stepping into the class she saw that all eyes were on her. Girls were glaring, boys were looking on with new interest, the teacher looked confused at why the principle had just been yelling at Rory Hayden for kissing in the hall, and Devin, Josh, Nat, and Tray were all sitting in a next to and in front of each other, having similar smirks. Rory stuck her tongue out and pulled it back in quickly. The class jumped slightly and turned away. She walked over to her friends, smiling.
"Your first day as a couple and you're already getting yelled at for PDA?"
"Isn't it funny when he yells for kissing? Did that vein in his neck pop out three feet? It did when he yelled at me and Katie."
"You and Tris finally got together?"
"Good one, Hayden."
"Thanks Tray." The teacher started to lecture them about the values of punctuality and Rory relaxed in her chair, ignoring the woman and thought of her boyfriend. She felt something warm on her neck and looked down. There was a silver chain on her neck that wasn't hers. Racking her brain, she tried to figure out where it had come from, while running her fingers over it gingerly. It hit her, Tristan. His hands had gone behind her neck before going to her waist. He must have put this around her neck.
She smiled to herself, it surprised her that he would do that simple yet sweet gesture. He'd never given one of his girlfriends before her a necklace, she could tell you that right now. And no boy before had ever done this kind of thing for her. Something was different about this relationship, she could tell. Something good.
A/N: Review and tell me your ideas for the next chapter. I'm kind of getting writer's block.
