Okay, since I decided to change the options in the end of chapter 5, I'll do both lines. I'm really sorry about the changing but it was just something that wasn't 'proper' so I scratched it. + It was kind of out of character for both Paris and Rory to agree on it. I'm also really sorry for the lack of updates, but school has started over here and it has been exhausting. Enough rambling and let the chapter begin ;D
Chapter 6"Yes we can twist it with" Madeline started and smiled.
But Paris interrupted her. "If you say strip poker, I'll kill you!"
"Darn! I though that I would finally see Paris in a bra!" Duncan said sarcastically and made a gesture. They all laughed at Duncan when Paris hit him really hard on the arm.
"Truth or dare!" ended Madeline the line finally. Making Rory and Paris to glare at her.
"Nhu uh!" They both said.
"Truth or dare it is!" Riley said and shuffled the cards. "But, as the loving and respectful sister I am who has to live in the same house as the one who can, and will murder me when I'm asleep with a pillow, I'll let twinie here decide the rules. If it's okay with the rest of you?" She got nodes in response.
"Okay… uh… so Texas Hold'em?" Rory asked. "Okay, when it's two people left, the one who looses will have to do a dare or tell a truth. Psyching is aloud, what ever that makes the others to bail. Oh, if all of the others bail then they wont have to do the Truth or dare thing."
"Every one has to do a dare!" Louise said matter-of-factly. "Otherwise it's no fun."
"Fine. But nothing like, 'go smash a window' or anything illegal!"
"When will you ever live a little?" Louise wondered, catching Tristan's attention with her words.
"Oh Rory got drunk before I did!" Riley said and laughed. Rory hit Riley, the same way Paris had hit Duncan, really hard on the arm.
"Well now I know what I'm going to ask our little 'innocent' Rory." Bruce said and smiled.
They started with the game when Paris and Bruce had stopped arguing about how much the chips were going to be worth. It went really well until Rory felt a foot on her leg. Confused, she looked at the other players at the table. Louise was flirting uncontrollable with Duncan, who tried his hardest to keep his poker face, Bruce and Paris was in another argument and Madeline and Riley was helping each other out by getting glimpse of Paris's cards. Since she didn't notice anything, because of Bruce. And then it was Tristan who was smiling like a complete dork. Then she felt the foot again, this time moving up and down her ankle. She raised an eyebrow, he smiled, she returned the gesture, he looked shocked, she raised.
"500" She said and put out ten purple chips on the table, the final bide. The other players folded, except Tristan.
"I call. What ya got?" He asked. With a triumphed smile on her face, Rory laid down her pair of queens.
"Three of a kind." (The third queen was the river card)
"Oh, well, hate to break it to ya, but" Tristan laid down his king and knight. "Royal flush!"
"NO!" Rory whined and banged her head in the table.
Riley gasped mockingly "Tristan, you have now fully earned my total respect!" She said poking her sister in the back to get her to sit up.
"Why thank you! I'm going to need it after this." Tristan responded. He was really interested in how his little innocent Mary could have got drunk. It didn't sound like her at all, but then again, maybe she had changed, hopefully to the better. What if she had changed? He couldn't stand her being something else then the girl he fell for.
"Truth" Rory groaned and made fake sobbing sounds.
"I think you already know what's coming."
"I'm still saying that the coffee was spiked! Obviously, this mom liked her coffee Irish!" Rory snapped, wanting the card game to continue.
"Well that wasn't my question Mar, but thanks. Now I don't have to waste it on that! Ah, what to choose, what to choose. Oh, what did you mean with 'I'll let you know'?"
"I'll let you know, exactly what I said."
"Enough! I demand a full version of the spiked coffee story!" Madeline looked like she was going to pop. Not knowing was killing her, being one of the most respected gossip queens in the school and all.
"Well there was only one other then my mom who would let me have coffee. A friend's mom, but one time she would let me, she only gave me a coke and wouldn't tell why. So when she went to the bathroom, I pored the coke out in the sink and replaced it with coffee. I was 15 and had never had alcohol before, so I didn't recognize the flavour. I though that maybe it was some Mexican stuff or something and then I spent the rest of the day throwing up." Rory explained to an amused crowed. Tristan knew that Rory wouldn't just have decided that she wanted to get drunk. This was actually something that hade 'RORY' written all over it. Riley was laughing hard. Gasping for air she managed to speak.
"Mom even through her a 'first hangover' party the day after! With aspirin and very non-Irish coffee!" The others joined the laugh fest.
With five minutes left before class, they were still playing. Now it was down to Rory, Riley and Duncan. Rory with a pair of eases, Riley with a king high and Duncan with a pair of nines. But, recognizing the 'HAH! I am going to kick your as!' look on Rory's face, Duncan decided to fold.
"I fold." He said and through the cards at the table.
"So sis… we meat again?" Riley said with her mafia boss voice. Rory smirked and laid down her eases, Riley's smile disappeared and was replaced with a pissed expression.
"This isn't fair!" She cried loud.
"You didn't seriously think that reading a book for newbies would make you a pro?" Rory asked while collecting the profit.
"But…! It's suppose to be in the genes!" Riley whined and pouted. "I'm not playing anymore!"
"No your not, because you… have no… chips… left." Rory said, talking like she was trying to explain that 1+1 is 2.
"This wasn't any fun!" Bruce said. "And I though that I was good at poker!"
"Yeah… Rory was kicking some serious but today. What happened?" Madeline wondered.
"I blain the devil." Paris said casually. 12 eyes looked at her. "Oh please! Am I'm the only one who have noticed the battle under the table?" Rory's cheeks turned into a red shade and Tristan smiled, happy about that at least someone had noticed his attempt of flirting. Or whatever you want to call it. To Rory's rescue, the bell started.
They all collected their stuff and went to class. She was escaping, fast. With Riley fallowing her every move.
"What was Paris talking about?" Riley asked and leaned against the locker next to Rory's, in a very Tristan-way. How Rory had missed that, the bantering, the name calling and all the 'leave me alone Tristan' which was fallowed with 'Aw Mary, you know you want me!'. Not that she liked the 'Aw Mary' part but it was just suppose to be there! But no! She couldn't just fall at his feet's cause he was back from boot camp, looking all hot and all… NO! God what was wrong with her?
"I'm trying to ask you a question so don't you dare ignore me!" Riley said getting angrier by the second.
"Tristan tried to psyche me by hitting my foot under the table, so, as the good Gilmore that I am, I hit him back." Rory lied sticking her head inside her locker so that Riley wouldn't see her bad poker face. When she was playing, it came naturally, but when it came to lying, she was horrible.
"Do you think I'm stupid!" The bell ringed again.
"Look, we'll talk after school, I promise!" Rory said before she turned and walked away down the hall. Riley didn't know exactly what was going on, but she had a feeling that her sister and this so-called 'friend' wasn't just psyching each other. She didn't have her finger on it but she was going to find out, one way or the other.
Tristan was bored. Math just wasn't his thing, yeah he got a good grade but it wasn't like he enjoyed it. Last class and all, on a Tuesday, one of the longest days in the whole week. BORING! A few minutes left of the last class. 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, YES! The bell ringed letting them know that the boring day was over. Tristan got up from his chair and exited the classroom. Waiting by his locker was a brunette.
"R…?"
"iley" Riley continued. "What are your intensions with my sister?"
Tristan opened his locker and began to fill his backpack with the books he needed for the homework they had got in bio. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He lied.
"Don't give me the whole lying thing! I know what my senses are telling me, and trust me when I'm usually right! I even respected you after betting her in poker, and if you must know, you have my full approval!" Riley yelled, making a scene. Then she turned and walked away. He was used to get left by her sister with a weird comment, but this… this was just crazy. 'Full approval' ran through his head and he smiled. Now he had been yelled at two times in two days, with two complete different messages. One evil and one good.
So… This might these options might seem a little weird, BUT they are different 'doors' in this story.
Option 1: A friend of Riley's waits at her car, surprise, surprise! Jealousy is the only word you need to know.
Option 2: A three-week-jump will be made and a phone call will change every thing. The word you need is disappointment.
Huh… yeah well let me know
