A/N: Wow your reviews were great thanks. I wanted to make sure you all know this: THIS WILL ALLWAYS BE A TRORY. No need to worry about Jess. It was meant to be a cliff hanger, how ever a little trouble won't hurt.

Yale

(please make sure you have read the A/N before you read the chapter)

Rory, who was sitting in the front row in the seat closest to the door, was the first out the door when the class ended. She walked out to see Tristan leaning up against the wall out of the class room. "Hi Tristan," She said. She was slightly surprised to see him stand like that. It made her think back to Chilton, when he used to stand up against her locker. She smiled, he returned one.

"Hi Mare," Tristan, who was taller than Rory, kissed her on her forehead.

"Ready to go?" she asked.

"My schedule got changed during the class. They called me up to the office of scheduling and told me it got changed. Now I have a different class than you and another class after that" Tristan said looking very sad. Damn the scheduling. I have to be away from the girl I love.

Rory was looking sad also. Damn the scheduling. I don't know how much longer I can go without being with him. This is very strange I've only been dating him for an hour, get a hold of your self Gilmore, she thought. "Ugg, I was going to show you around campus after class"

"Well now I guess you have time to read." Stupid scheduling!

"I'd rather be with you" she pouted.

"Me too," he replied.

"Well, we still have 15 minutes what do you want to do?"

"We could talk." He said

"Or we could make out." She responded smiling.

"So you do know how to speak my language." He smirked.

"Something like that." She replied. He didn't wait for any more. He swooped down on her lips; simultaneously he brought his hands around her waist and pulled her forward. She grabbed onto his neck to deepen the kiss.

Yale- Paris

Paris wasn't having the best of days. It started out well, kind of. Rory and Tristan were together. This was great for Rory, but not for Paris. Paris never really got over Tristan. Never the less, she was happy for them. Then she got a B minus on a paper. She decided to ditch the rest of her classes. This in its self was new to Paris. She had only ever done this a few times but it was because Asher got a brake, or when she was still with Doyle. She thought she needed some coffee. Rory always raved about that Starbucks right off of campus. Apparently that's where Rory and Tristan kissed. Paris was very lonely. Maybe she thought she would find some one there. It was a long shot. But, she decided to go.

Yale-Rory

After class Rory decided to go back to her room. On the way she bumped into Logan, literally. Aww crap! Now would be the time for Tristan to show up.

"Hello, Ace," He said smirking.

"What do you want Logan?" she said through gritted teeth.

"I just wanted to see my best girl." He said smirking, as he reached his hand up to play with her hair. She pushed his hand away.

"Get away from me Logan."

Tristan came around the corner. pretty lost. He was hoping to see Rory before being a day apart from her. He saw it conspire between her and Logan. He saw him reach up and her say 'Get away from me.' By the time away was finished he was sprinting down the hall.

"Why Ace?" He said snarling.

What am I going to do? Rory thought.

"Because I said so," Tristan said, now next to Rory.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here, some one from the nice little military camp. Trissy Dugrey," Logan sneered.

Uh,oh. Rory thought.

Tristan moved in front of Rory. "Shut up Hutzenburg."

"What are you going to do Trissy. You now have to cornel around to stop you, or defend you." Logan said.

"Don't touch Rory, Hutzenburg."

"What Rory now you have a defender?" Logan asked Rory.

"No, I have a boyfriend now. ONE WHO CARES" She said emphasizing the last part.

Logan laughed. "Oh, Ace I thought you had better taste, after all you slept with me." Logan said sneering at Tristan this time. Tristan slowly turned to Rory. She looked back at him scared and confused.

"I was young and stupid to ever even talk to you."

"Come on lets go, Rory." Tristan said pulling her away. Once out of ear shot "Rory, I wanted to let you know that I will always be there for you."

"Thanks Tristan. I'm glad you were there. He is becoming intolerable." She said hugging him.

"He has always been like that. He went to Military school with me. He was my enemy. Our families always have been. We are in the richest families in Connecticut. There has always been competition." Tristan explained, squeezing her tighter.

"Thanks again Tristan."

"Your welcome."

Yale- Paris

Walking into the coffee shop Paris noticed there wasn't a sole except for a guy behind the counter. He was reading a book. She thought she recognized him vaguely, but didn't think much of it. She could only see the top of his head. She walked up the counter and tapped her fingers, trying to catch his attention. Then she saw the cover of the book. "I know Jane Austin is interesting but I would like some coffee, please."

He looked up. "Do I know you?"

"I don't think so you do look familiar though."

"Jess Mariano, book reviewer for the New York Times, and now coffee maker."

"Paris Gellar, pre-med student."

"Paris Gellar? Hmm you do seem very familiar."

"Wait Jess Mariano?"

"Yes?"

"Did you ever date a girl named Rory Gilmore?"

"Yes, I did"

"I was over at her house once when you came over. Remember we had a long debate over books."

Jess though for a second. "Yeah, now I remember you."

A/N: Please Review. I've had writers block for a while, sorry it took so long. I want to know if you want this to be a Parris/Jess, also. Thanks
