Love can be a pain in the butt- Chapter one

Chilton

Rory, very bored and tired was due for her coffee fix. She let out a big yawn. 'Ten more minutes and I'm free.' Rory thought looking at the clock. 'Why did I even choose biology, its not like I really need it to be a journalist.'

She looked at her tired hand and the growing pile of papers that had her neatly written info on ecosystems.

'I've never written so much in my life. And I thought I wrote too much notes last year. If this is how much I have to write every lesson, then there would seriously be no more Amazon rainforest with all the paper I'm going to have to use. For God's sake its only first period!'

Rory let out a sigh of relief when the bell rang. English was next. 'I really need coffee, if I don't, who knows what I'm going to do.' The thought made Rory shudder. "Oh! Class we have a short quiz on what we have learnt today the next time I see you. I never said senior year is going to be easy and to be a bit fair we'll be having a short quiz everyday on what we have learnt the last lesson so I can tell if you are absorbing the information I give you." Mrs Silsbee smiled. "Have a nice day kids."

Rory groaned at the news. She let out a small snort. 'Yeah, short in Chilton is another word for a ten page short answers and essay that has to be completed in a ridiculous amount of time.' Rory gathered her books and headed out of biology. Making her way to the other side of school to get to English; a fellow student joined her.

"Have Medina next?" The girl asked

"Yeah." Rory replied. "Paris, tell me why you did not choose biology?" Rory turned to her friend.

Over the summer they had come to an agreement that it would be wise to become friends rather than enemies.

Paris smiled. "Because I don't need it to run Wall Street."

They both entered the almost full classroom and took their seats. Soon afterwards Mr Medina walked into the classroom.

"Good morning seniors!" He greeted cheerfully "Welcome to English for this year. Since we have so much to do in such little time we better begin!" With that he headed to the board and began to write down their topic

Rory read the board 'Extension of Shakespeare'. Memories of the play rushed back into her head, in other words Tristan. She wondered what had happened to him. She knew he had been sent away to military school and she had to admit he did cross her mind once in a while when she saw anything that reminded her of him.

'Wait a second! Why am I thinking of him anyway? He has been a total asshole to me. He doesn't deserve to be in my head. Guys like Dean… I should be thinking about Dean. Come on Rory! He's your boyfriend… OK, how come I can't think about Dean? How about a little push. Think about his great kisses, like the one at Madeline's party. Omigod! That was Tristan not Dean. Stupid Rory, stop thinking about another guy! Why is Tristan in my head in the first place?'

"Earth to Rory." Mr Medina waved a hand across Rory's troubled looking face.

"Oh! Sorry." Rory blushed as the whole class stared at her

"I hope you mean it. Just to fill you in, we are talking about the play Antony and Cleopatra"

Mr. Medina walked back to the front and continued the class discussion. To avoid further embarrassment, Rory began to take down notes.

The bell had rung and Rory was relieved that it was now recess. She had study hall next.

She made her way to the coffee stand that had been established in the courtyard since the year before. 'Finally! Coffee here I come!'

 "Rory!"

Rory turned around to see who had called her name. She waved as she saw Henry heading her way.

"Hey!" She greeted

"Hi, could you do me a favour. Lane's mom answered the phone yesterday. Do I need to explain what happened?"

Rory shook her head.

"She was mad and yeah. So I can't talk to Lane and I need to keep up the communication, so I was hoping you could deliver this to Lane"

"Sure."

Henry smiled and mouthed thanks as he handed her an envelope and then ran off.

After Rory had gotten her coffee and finished it, she headed to her new locker. She didn't have the chance to before homeroom because she had woken up late due to the fact that the new pig alarm her mom bought her failed to oink. She had missed her bus and had to walk back home to take the car. As soon as Rory reached it she attempted to open it only that it wouldn't budge. 'Why do I always get the crap locker?'

She tried to kick it when a hand banged on the door, it quickly opened knocking Rory and the other student to the ground. She quickly stood up to see who had cushioned her fall. The guy was already on his feet. He smirked at the surprised look on Rory's face

 "Hey Mary, you miss me?"

 Complete surprise had overcome her as she stared at the same but different Tristan Dugrey. He still had the messy blonde hair and the ocean blue eyes but she could sense something different about him.  'Maybe he had grown up while he was at military school.' She mumbled a 'thanks' and proceeded to fill her locker with the books that had been in her backpack. Hoping that Tristan had decided to leave she found him leaning against the locker next to hers.

"Well if you want to really thank me we could go out, you know, catch up and… do other things" He waggled his eyebrows.

'Screw that whole thing about growing up. He is still the jerk.' Complete annoyance had now consumed her. She shut her locker closed and turned to Tristan.

"Oh! Is this the part when I'm suppose to be swept off my feet…think again, I'm busy and I have better things to do" Rory turned and headed down the hall.

"Like what?" Tristan asked catching up to her.

Rory stopped. " I have to go bra shopping with my grandma," she retorted.

"I see, I see. Let me tell you that blue's my favourite colour and get the matching thong… but I don't see the real need if its gonna get ripped off." He winked.

"And what makes you think I'm gonna model it out for you?"

Rory sweetly smiled and continued down the hall, leaving Tristan mockingly shocked.

"Since when did Mary become a Mary Magdalene?" He shouted out to her and headed the opposite direction.

Stars Hollow

The day had ended and Rory couldn't wait to get off the bus and find herself in the arms of Dean, who would be waiting with the famous brown elixir also known as coffee.

As she got off the bus she halted to a stop.

'Where's Dean?' She looked at her watch and saw that she was 15 minutes early so she decided to go to Luke's and wait for Dean there.

When she had reached Luke's the place was deserted. Figuring that Luke was upstairs, Jess was at still at school doing some sorta after school detention and her mom was still at the inn, she took it upon herself to get some coffee and sit by the window.

As she took a sip of the warm liquid she quickly spat it out when she saw Dean at the corner with a brunette. They were in each other's arms… kissing. 'No wait! More like swallowing each other's head.' When they parted, Dean turned to see Rory staring at them.

Knowing that she had been discovered and disgusted about the fact Dean was cheating on her, she grabbed her bag and ran out bumping into a now concern Jess and Paris.
