Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello?" I said answering my cell phone. "Hey Rory, how are you?" I heard Triston's voice say. "Hey, Triston. I'm great. What about you?" I asked. "Oh, I'm great too. Anyway I was wondering if you wanted to get together tomorrow for dinner." He asked me. "Sure that sounds great. I'll see you then." "Cool. Bye." He said. I started to dial Lorelai's cell number. Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello?" I heard my mom ask. "Hey, it's Rory." I said into the phone. "Oh, hi Rory. How's it going with you and Triston?" She asked me. "Fine, in fact he just asked me out." I said bragging. "Oh really?" she asked me jokingly. "Yep, and I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me after my next class." I asked her. "Absolutely. I have been wanting to return this blue skirt but I haven't gotten the chance. Hey did you already return that flower shirt?" She asked me. "Yes, and I'm not going to get it back for you another time." I told her. "Okay then. See you in a couple hours." She said. "Bye." Then I hung up.
My next class seemed to go slowly probably because I wanted to go shopping with my mom really badly. As soon as the bell rang to let us out I hurried to my car, purse in hand. It took me a half an hour to get to Stars Hollow, but Lorelai didn't care because she wasn't even ready yet. "What should I wear?" She kept on asking me. "Just pick something." I said getting annoyed. "How about this?" She asked me finally sticking her head out of the closet. "Looks good." I lied. She finally decided on a green shirt and jeans.
We hurried into her car and drove to Forest Tree Mall. We jumped out excited to start shopping. "So you wanna look for something to wear on your date?" Lorelai asked me once we were inside. "Yeah, I kind of wanted to look in that one store that you got the leather jacket at." I told her. "Oh, yeah that's over here." She said leading one way. When we walked into the store the first thing I saw was a light purple skirt that was exactly what I was picturing of wearing. "Hey look." I said pointing to the skirt. "That is a cute skirt." Lorelai said. "Yeah but what shirt would I wear with it?" I asked her. "How about that one over there." She said pointing to a white sleeveless shirt. "You could wear that with my leather jacket." She said generously. "You would really let me wear that coat?" I asked her surprised by what she said. "Sure. It's no big deal." Lorelai said. "Thanks." I told her. We paid for the outfit and kept the receipt just in case.
Ding-Dong! I rang the doorbell to Triston's dorm. He opened the door and welcomed me in. "Hey Rory!" Triston said happily. "I'm so glad you're here." He continued. "So are you ready to go?" I asked him. "Yep, just let me get my cell phone." He said. "How about you go get in the car and wait for me." He said. "Okay." I said heading out the door. I sat in the car and waited for a minute. "So where are we going?" I asked him once he was in the car. "It's a surprise." He said. "Okay." I said.
As we drove we began to talk about colleges and that is when he brought the subject up. "You know I was thinking about this for awhile and I think it would be good for me to switch from Princeton to Yale." He said suddenly. "Oh you don't have to do that, Triston." I said. "But I want too. We would see eachother more." He said rattling on the reasons why. "Well I guess if you wanted to it would be kind of nice to see you more." I said getting used to the idea. "I can switch as early as next month." He told me. "Well next month sound good." I said. "Okay I will set it up then." He said. "Cool." The rest of the date went really well. Triston has really changed. He took me to my favorite restaurant in Hartford where he gave me a locket with his picture in it. I never knew Triston could be so, so sweet.
