Knowing People
"Come in, because someones here to see you" Paris slowly opened the door. Rory and Logan walked into the warm dorm. Rory stopped dead in her tracks when she saw who was seated on the couch
"What are you doing here?" She whispered
"Happy to see me?" the figure seated on the couch said
"I haven't seen you in so long" Rory said, still whispering
"Since high school actually. How have you been, Mary?"
"Tristan what are you doing here?" Rory gaped at the blond boy sitting on her sofa
"Life is full of coincidences" Tristan smiled at her awe
"Yeah, but not this weird. How the heck do you know where I live?"
"I'll confess, I'm a stalker. Really Mary, did you think you had gotten rid of me that easily? I have connections you know"
"Ace, who is this guy?" Logan didn't like Tristan's cockiness
"Tristan DuGrey, and you are?" Tristan got up from his seat
"Logan Huntzberger"
"Ah, Mary still has a taste for riches then. Shes only dated one or two people without money. Oh yeah, I remember, bag boy. Wow, now was that guy a bunch of laughs"
"Dean was good to me" Rory said quietly
"Better than me?" Tristan pretended to be hurt
"At least I didn't leave him for you. I knew that you were nothing but trouble"
"Now don't be mean. Oh shoot, look at the time. I got to go, but I'll see you around Mary, I start Yale tomorrow" Tristan walked past Rory and Logan, and out the door. Logan and Rory didn't move
"Rory, help a confused guy out. Who was he?" asked Logan
"Tristan DuGrey was nearly my boyfriend. I, at the time, was living in Australia, and dating a boy who had moved there from Chicago, Dean Forester. Tristan had also moved to Australia, his father thought that being over seas would keep Tristan out of his hair. I'll admit, I was completely in love with Tristan, though not at first. He was always a complete jerk to me, and I hated him, but then I found out that he had a crush on me. I started observing him. He was cute, smart, nice, and I thought perfect. We kissed a couple of times, and I almost wanted to drop my relationship with Dean and go to Tristan. Remember, this was high school. My English class was putting on the play Romeo and Juliet. I was Juliet, he was Romeo. Opening night, he walks in five minuets till the show starts and tells he that he and some of his friends broke into a safe and got caught. His dad was shipping him back to the U.S. I never saw him again, until now"
"And so, do you still like him?" Logan asked cautiously
"No. When he left I went back to Dean. Then Deans family moved back to the U.S. as well. I could tell you that I flew to see him a couple of times, but you already heard that at the party. Now Dean is married and is not going to college. He and I are just friends and I am boyfriend less. Tristan has always been head over heals about me, but I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who does things so drastic that they could get shipped to another continent any day"
"Alright then. Don't worry Ace, I won't let him hurt you. Now how about that cup of coffee, I'm freezing"
Rory laughed, "Ok, thanks Logan, let me get out the mugs"

Two weeks had passed since Tristan had shown up at Rory's dorm. So far, he had shown up a couple of times more, but hadn't made any move on Rory. She was actually considering that he might have changed. He seemed nice, and Rory almost wanted to be friends with him. Logan and Rory to had become fast friends. She trusted him with her life, and so far he hadn't made a move on her either, though she was pretty sure he had thought about it. Rory's social life had grown tremendiously in the last few weeks. Stephanie and her had become very close, as well as Rosemary. Popularity seemed to be eminent. Rory was invited to a party each day,and two or more on Saturdays and Fridays. Rory had always been a bookworm and a hard worker, so she rarely attended these parties that some people would give an arm and a leg to get into. Logan had finally convinced Rory to go to big party, twenty minuets away from campus, and so that was why Rory was running around with only one shoe on, on a Friday night.
"I can't find it!" Rory yelled again
"So why are you yelling? I can hear you just fine, but I don't know where your stupid shoe is" Paris said dismissively from the pink armchair
Rory grabbed her cellphone, "Mom?"
"Hey baby! My favorite daughter! My..." Lorelai was cut off
"Mom, have you seen my black high heels with the thin straps?"
"Well, let me think. When I came to visit last week... I tripped over them and so... I through them under the sink in the bathroom!" Lorelai exclaimed
"Thanks mom" Rory hung up and ran into the bathroom. Someone knocked on the front door
"Paris can you get it?" Rory called
"Why, the door is unlocked, and its probably for you anyways"
"Paris" Rory pleaded
"Hey, Ace?" Logan let himself in
"Hey Logan, one sec, I'm just getting my shoe from under the sink" Rory called from the bathroom
Logan looked at Paris questioningly, "Don't look at me, her crazy mother put it there" Paris said to him
"Ok, I'm ready" Rory walked into the common room
"Ace, you look amazing" Logan admired her short, plain, strapless, black dress, her wavy dark hair, let down and bouncing on her shoulders, and of course, her small black high heels
"Thanks, now lets go" Logan and Rory left the dorm and walked to Logan's silver Porche
"So where are we going?" Rory asked once they had been driving for ten minuets
"Rosemary rented out a space at a big hotel. Its huge, and I swear your going to have fun. There will be drinks, music, people, and if you get bored, there's a library" Logan smiled at her
"Huntzberger you know me to well" Rory returned his smile

"Hey you made it!" Stephanie cried when the silver Porche drove up and Rory and Logan got out
"Yeah, hey Steph" Rory hugged her friend, "Wheres Rose?"
"Well, she and your brother are off someplace doing who knows what" Stephanie grinned
"See Ace, your already having a good time" Logan put his arm around Rory's shoulders, "Come on lets go get a drink"
"See you guys later, I have to stay and play hostess for Rosemary" Steph said
"Logan, could you get me a martini? I'm going to find the quickest route of escape to the library in case things get crazy" Rory walked off
thirty minuets later, Logan was sitting at the bar waiting for Rory. "Hey Colin" Logan grabbed his friends sleeve as he walked by with Stephanie, "Have you seen Rory? She was suppose to meet me thirty minuets ago"
"Sorry, can't say that I have seen her" Colin said
"I ran into her twenty minuets ago, she was coming out of the library. But I haven't seen her recently" Stephanie offered
"Thanks" Logan said, and the pair walked away. Wheres Rory? She shouldn't have been gone so long. Did she forget? No, Rory didn't forget things like that. Well then what happened to her?
Logan began to worry. He finally got up and went to look for her. He searched the entire room, the library, the halls, and was about to give up, when he heard something
"No stop it!" A voice was screaming, but it sounded muffled, or far away, so that nobody else, who wasn't paying attention, heard it. It was Rory's voice, but where was she? Logan broke into a frantic run
again the voice screamed again, "No!"
