Previously on What Did I Miss?
The next day Rory got out of her car in the Chilton parking lot.
She waited a little longer than normally to go in. Finn found her standing in front of the entrance.
"You read, Love?" Finn said coming up from behind her and wrapping a protective arm around her waist.
"As ready as I'll ever be." She said while they walked toward the Chilton doors.

Rory and Finn walked into the Chilton hallway, when everyone noticed it was them, it very quiet, they were all watching Rory.
"Well, that covers whether or not they know or not." Rory whispered to Finn.
Finn stopped suddenly in the hallway, keeping his arm around Rory's waist.
"All you mind your own fucking business!" Finn yelled, causing everyone to start talking to their friends and discreetly watch Rory.
Rory got to her locker and looked over to her right. She saw Tristan, staring right back at her, with a bruise on the side of his chin.
'Jess.' Rory thought. When she met Tristan's eyes, she immediately turned back to Finn.
"Okay, Finn. Thanks, you can go to your locker. It's right down the hall. I'll be fine." Rory said smiling up at him.
Finn kissed her forehead and gave her a hug.
"Just holler if any of these blokes bother you." He smiled at walked away.
Rory continued to emptying her backpack of books and getting the ones she would need for class when she felt someone come up to her. She knew immediately who it was and heard everyone once again get quiet, watching them.
"Rory." Tristan said, causing Rory to sigh and turn around.
"I-
"Back off DuGrey." Logan and Mark said, pushing him away from Rory and glaring at him, who glared right back.
"I was just talking to her, man." Tristan said casually.
"You shouldn't even be going near her. Nice bruise by the way." Mark said smirking at him.
Tristan looked at Rory one last time, who looked right back at him, before walking away.

Rory and Paris were in the bathroom when Missy and one of her friends came in also.
"Well, well, if it isn't Chilton's slut." Missy said, looking at Rory.
"Missy, you know it's bad for your self-esteem to talk about yourself like that." Paris said 'sweetly' causing Missy to glare at her. Rory stayed quiet.
"Couldn't get Tristan, so you jumped into bed with the next guy?" Missy asked Rory.
Rory smiled at her, before punching Missy with all the strength she. Missy fell backwards, surprised as hell.
"I suggest you leave right now." Paris said smirking smugly at Missy's friend, who now looked at her fearfully before they both rushed out of the bathroom.
Rory and Paris were silent for a moment after they left.
"I knew there was a reason I liked you." Paris said laughing and hugging Rory, causing Rory to laugh also.
"Lorelai is going to be so proud!" Paris exclaimed while they walked out of the bathroom.

Later at Lunch, the talking and whispers hadn't stopped, actually they'd gotten worse after what had happened in the morning.
She was sitting at their table alone, waiting for everyone when Louise, Maddy, Ashley, and Paris showed up.
"So, 66 of people said that they like you even more now because of what happened, 11 of people like you even less, and 23 think you're even hotter. Naturally the last of them were mostly guys." Louise said smirking at her best friend.
Normally, that wouldn't have been the nicest thing to say, but it was exactly what Rory wanted to hear. She wanted to laugh about it. She wanted someone who will bluntly make fun of her about it, unlike the guys who acted like she was going to break any minute.
And it was driving. Her. Insane!
"Only you guys, Louise and Mads." Rory chuckled, shaking her head.
Louise shrugged, smirking.
"So, Maddy, how's Finn been lately?" Paris said smirking.
"Good. Very good...very, very good." Maddy said, smiling with a dazed look.
"Wow, so good?" Ashley said laughing.
"Okay, Ash. How's Mark?" Causing Ashley to start blushing.
"I'm fine. Thanks." Mark said confused, coming over and sitting down with Jess, Mark, Logan, Colin, and Finn.
"Er, that's good." Maddy said, giggling with all the other girls, causing the guys to look at them like they needed white jackets.
"So, Ror, how are you doing?" Colin asked concerned, causing Rory to groan and start hitting her head on the table.
"What?" Colin said defensively when the girls glared at him.
Once Rory calmed down, she told everyone that she was fine, and to stop asking.
"So, DuGrey didn't bother you anymore?" Logan asked.
"What! He went up to her?" Jess asked pissed.
"No, he didn't." Rory said, ignoring Jess. "I don't see why you guys are so mad at him, I mean he was your friend before you knew me." Rory said confused.
"Rory, he hurt you. Not only that he cheated on you. You don't deserve that." Colin said wrapping a arm around Rory.
Rory smiled at her big 'protectors'.

Tristan was walking down the hallway when he saw some of his 'friends' and walked over. They were some of his friends he had before he went to Military School, so basically they were scumbags.
"DuGrey! I guess you're pissed, right?" Ben said coming up to where Tristan was.
Tristan immediately glared at Ben, wanting nothing more to beat the living shit out of the guy.
"What the fuck are you talking about." He said, glaring at him.
"Well, I fucked her first. I won, right?" Ben said cockily, causing Tristan to clench his fists in anger.
"I mean, wow, everyone knows she's fuckin' hot, but in bed-
Tristan put all of his weight into the punch he threw at Ben, causing him to crash against the wall. Tristan grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him up, hitting him two more times.
"Mr. DuGrey!" Headmaster Charleston yelled loudly, causing Tristan to back away from Ben, who was now on the floor.
Tristan smirked at Ben before following Charleston to his Office.

Minutes Later.
Louise and Maddy came bursting through the Cafeteria doors and literally ran to their table.
"What's up?" Jess asked confused.
"Oh...my...god...Rory...suspended." Louise sad through breaths, trying to catch her breath.
"What!" Rory asked, confused and a little scared hearing the word 'suspended'.
"Rory, Tristan beat the shit out of Ben and got suspended." Maddy told her.
"Well, men, I say it's time we paid our friend Ben a visit." Finn said getting up with the others and leaving the Cafeteria.
Rory was shocked, she stared at Maddy for at least thirty seconds before jumping up and running out of the Cafeteria, with the girls yelling after her.
Rory was in a daze when she walked outside, she needed fresh air.
'Why would Tristan punch Ben? Probably because he was mad that he had beat him to nailing me. It's not like he cares about me. Cares? It's not like he ever cared about me. I was a conquest. God, get that through your head, Rory.' Rory thought, walking around.
When she looked around, she noticed she was in the parking lot now, near Tristan's car. She stood where she was and stared at it.
Remembering the times she was pushed up against it while her and Tristan kissed. When he whispered things to her that no other man had. How special they had made her feel.
And how they were all lies.
"It's a car. Hope you weren't planning on stealing it." Someone said from behind her.
Rory turned around quickly.
"Tristan."
A/N: HAHAHA. Cliffhangers, who doesn't love them? I mean seriously they are the best! Hehe
