Thank you to all the reviewers! You all rock!

The next day, Rory walked into school and Louise quickly ran up to her.

"So is it true?" Louise asked as Madeline came up.

"It's all over school already. Apparently, Summer saw you two making out yesterday." Madeline confirmed as they stared at Rory.

"What are you psycho's talking about?" Rory asked confused.

Madeline and Louise rolled their eyes. "You and Tristan!" They replied in unison.

"Me and Tristan?"

"Duh! Are you two dating now?" Louise asked, running her hand through her hair, a sign that she was getting frustrated.

"No! We kissed after we got detention for PDA. That's all." Rory explained.

"PDA DETENTION!" Madeline squealed. "They barely ever give out those! You two must of been hot and heavy!"

"We got caught by Charleston." Rory mumbled.

"Even better. You two will be the talk of the school for weeks!" Louise said in her sultry voice as she walked past Rory to greet Logan.

"Great." Rory muttered as she continued traveling to her locker. She arrived at her locker a few minutes later and saw a familiar figure hovering a few feet away. "Yes Tristan?" She asked as she saw the Starbucks cup in his hand.

"Coffee, I figure it's the least I could do after yesterday."

"Thanks." Rory said hesitantly. "What's the catch?"

"No catch, just wanted to be nice."

"Thank you."

"So, I was wondering... Would you like to go out sometime?" Tristan stammered.

"What?" Rory asked, dumbfounded.

"Wou-" Tristan started before he was interrupted by the bell signaling it was time for class.

Rory smiled apologetically before she quickly scampered off to class.

-GG-

Tristan groaned and slammed his fist into the lockers.

"Woah man, what's your problem?" Logan asked, walking up behind him.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" Tristan barked.

Logan shrugged, "I didn't feel like going yet. I'll go next period. I repeat, what's your problem?"

"HER! Its always HER!" Tristan yelled in reply.

"What happened now?"

"I asked her out, she said 'what?' I started to ask her again, and the bell rang. So she ran off."

"Ouch."

"Why is she so damn frustrating?"

"Females." Logan stated

"Why the hell did I ask her out? I knew she was going to say no! She hates me!"

Logan started to laugh.

"What?" Tristan said, glaring at Logan.

"You think she hates you. That's funny."

"What? I heard her say it."

"Yea, she didn't mean it." Logan said casually.

"Obviously she does. Why else would she put me through this hell."

"Word of advice. Ace will say anything when she is drunk. I have heard her and the girls talking."

"What did she say?" Tristan said, obviously interested.

"That she liked you before you left. She obviously still likes you now. Rory freaks out about stuff like this." Logan informed him.

"Really?"

"I'll let you think about it." Logan said as he walked off.

"Dammit." Tristan muttered before hitting the lockers one more time.

-GG-

While Tristan was conversing with Logan, Rory was mentally flipping out.

"Oh my God! Why did he ask me out? I haven't been on a date since 'the incident.' I would like to go on a date with him though. What if he only wants to date me to prove that 'Mary' will go out with him. That he can still get any girl he wants. But he seems like he changed. Plus Finn, Colin and Logan would beat the shit out of him if he was only dating me for sex. AHH! He just had to go and mess everything up, didn't he? I was fine with the little game we were playing. The kisses are good though..."

Rory was pulled from her thoughts as the classroom door opened.

"Thank you for deciding to join us, Mr. Huntzberger." Mr. Medina said sarcastically.

"Well, I was going to skip and just go to next period, but I decided to grace your class with my presence." Logan replied with a smirk as he took the seat adjacent to Rory.

Rory rolled her eyes and tried to pay attention to the English assignment when she felt someone tapping her leg. She looked over and saw that Logan was trying to get her attention.

"Ace!" He whispered. "What the hell are you doing to Tristan's mind? The poor kid is about to have a melt down!"

"What am I doing to his mind? What do you think he is doing to my mind?" She replied

"He did ask you out, didn't he?"

Rory blushed and looked down. "Maybe."

"Rory." Logan said in a no- nonsense tone.

"Fine he did ok? I freaked out. I said, 'What?' Then ran away when I heard the bell." She hissed. "Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"Miss Gilmore, Mr. Huntzberger, I will stop until you are finished with your conversation. I'm sure that whatever you are talking about is much more important than learning about Beowulf, which will be on your next exam, which is worth 20 percent of this marking periods grade. Please, by all means, finish your life or death conversation!" Mr. Medina said as he frowned at the two.

"Sorry." They mumbled in return.

After class was over, Rory scurried out to try and avoid Logan, unfortunately for her, he anticipated this.

"Rory, you can't avoid me." He reminded her as he trotted along side of her.

"Damn you for knowing me so well." She muttered as she turned to face him.

"What can I say, it's a gift." He smirked. "Look Ror, I'm not telling you to marry him and have his kids, but give him a chance, ok?"

"I want to, but it always turns out bad."

"Ace," he sighed, "One boyfriend, your first boyfriend, turned out bad. Some of us guys are good guys."

"I know. I will give him a chance." Rory conceded.

"Plus, if he does hurt you, I will kick his ass, along with Colin, Finn and Finn Senior."

Rory laughed and walked away to her next class, which she shared with the same boy they were talking about.

-GG-

Tristan walked into his next class and saw the only seat available was next to Rory. He inwardly groaned and took the seat.

"Tristan," He heard as he turned toward Rory, "Pick me up at 6, and there better be coffee." Rory finished as the teacher walked in.

He sat there dumbfounded as class droned on. When the bell finally rang, he grabbed Rory's arm.

"You won't regret it." He said as he kissed her cheek and walked off.

-GG-
