Rory could feel his eyes on her back and it made her uncomfortable. She hated it when Tristan looked at her, it made her feel like a piece of meat. He's been doing it more and more lately since he heard about her and Dean breaking up.

Just thinking about Dean brought tears to her eyes, it had only been 2 weeks since the messy and very nasty breakup and Dean was already with another girl. The thought of the two of them together made her sick to her stomach.

But as the teacher continued on his speech she felt very uncomfortable. He hadn't been the same old Tristan since coming back from Military school, how he swung that still bewilders Rory but he was back and it sucked.

It had actually been nice while he was gone because then Rory only had to put up with Paris and not Paris and Tristan who she thought were secretly working together to ruin her life. The teacher suddenly stopped talking and that caused Rory to snap back to reality.

She looked around the class and they were all looking at the door. Rory looked at the door and saw her worst nightmare. She didn't expect to ever see him again let alone in Chilton. Her face went ghost white with horror, not only would she have Tristan to deal with but now Jess?

Tristan sensed her discomfort and gave the guy a once over. He had seen him before, his name not coming to mind he just watched as he looked at Rory as if he had won. That made Tristan sick, granted he had been one of them up until Military school; which he was never doing again. He rubbed the back of Rory's arm in the hope that it was sending her the message that he was just trying to help her deal. She flinched at first but then turned around and gave him a thank look before turning back around and trying to pay attention.

That's when the plan hit Tristan like a stack of bricks. This guy gave Tristan the once over while trying to get Rory to look at him. Tristan scribbled something down on piece of paper and tossed it at Rory as the bell rang. He went to his locker and waited for her to come.

When she got there her mystery man was right behind her and Tristan felt a sense of protectiveness come over him. When Rory stood next to Tristan the guy went to his locker that was actually like across the hall.

"Hey Ror when did you want to get together tonight?"

"What?" She asked turning different shades of red. Tristan mouthed play along and cocked his head towards mystery man. "Oh I don't know, whenever."

"Cool how about we hang at your house after school?"

"Sounds great." She winked at him as she grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hall.

"Okay Mary, spill who's the dude?"

"His name is Jess, we liked each other while I was together with Dean then he left. I guess I was kinda hurt and now he's back and I don't know what he's doing here."

"Well then I have the perfect plan."

"Do tell."

"Well we just make him believe that we're madly in love. That'll send him the hint, don't you think?"

"It might work, but who knows."

"So how do you think we should go about this considering he's probably in all our classes?"

"We'll handle it as things happen." They walked the rest of the way to class in silence and secretly both Rory and Tristan were jumping for joy. Maybe this was all Tristan needed to admit his true feelings to Rory.

Once in class Tristan didn't like the way Jess was starring at Rory, it was like he was planning his attack on her or something. So Tristan leaned forward and gave Rory and gentle kiss. Jess's mouth formed an "O" as and most of the class. But only the two knew that it was all a plan.

"This is gonna be fun." Rory thought to herself as the teacher came in and started teaching.

So that's the end of Chapter 1, I hope you guys liked it. More is gonna happen but I had to get the plan out there, please review and tell me what you think!
