A/N: I saw the episode where Rory and Tristan kiss in the music room and
felt like writing again. Don´t ask me why. I don´t know. Gotta warn you
though. I´ve got no beta and my grammar probably sucks.
Disclaimers: You know the drill. Unfortunately I don´t own GG.
Chapter1
Monday mornings suck. They are the worst. Especially after a weekend like this.
Rory Gilmore practically had to drag herself to school. Even coffee from Luke's couldn't lift her mood. During the ride to school Rory relived the past days. First her brake-up with Dean. She still didn't understand why she couldn't say those three words to him. He didn't understand either and left her.
You'd think that this was enough misery for one week, but she just had to decide to go to this stupid party at Madeline's. At least her mother had convinced her to take Lane. Her best friend had a good time there, whereas Rory herself was bored. She should have stayed at home. Trying to escape she went into another room. Big mistake!
Tristan was there, possibly feeling even worse than she did. It was written all over his face. Kindness got the best of her; she couldn't just leave him like that. So they talked. And kissed. Rory hadn't seen it coming, but suddenly they were silent and he leant closer to her. Her mind went completely blank and apparently she had a rollercoaster inside her stomach. His lips were soft.
Then it hit her: She was kissing another guy. She was not with Dean anymore. By now tears were running down Rory's cheeks and she just had to get out. She got Lane and left the party, trying not to think of the boy she had left at the piano. Lane assumed she was crying because of Dean, well she wasn't exactly wrong. The rest of the weekend was spent with her mom, ice-cream and movies. It's called wallowing. Rory didn't mention the incident in the music room to anyone. She tried to forget. Pretty hard thing to do though.
Finally the bus arrived at Chilton and Rory reluctantly got off. She went into school contemplating if she should go and talk to Tristan or not. She went to her locker to get some books. Deep in thoughts it took her a while to realise that something was off. People were openly staring, pointing at her and talking. Even for Chilton this was weird. What was going on?
Rory's questions were answered when she ran into Louise and Madeline. "Hi Rory. Did you like my party?" Madeline asked with a huge smile.
"It was very nice." Rory answered politely.
"Yeah, we've heard you enjoyed yourself." Louise grinned.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh don't deny it, Rory. The whole school already knows you had fun with Tristan."
Rory stared open-mouthed at the two girls. How did anyone find out they kissed? She didn't tell...Tristan! Figures he wouldn't keep his mouth shut about something like this.
"You know I was pretty surprised when I heard about this. Never pictured you as a girl who would sleep with a guy at a party. Even though Tristan is hot. Gotta give you that one..."
"What?" Rory's head started spinning. What on earth was Louise talking about?
"Oh come off it Rory." Madeline seemed amused. "It's too late to act all innocent now. Like Louise said, everyone already knows..."
Disbelievingly Rory looked from Louise to Madeline. A group of older students passed them; Rory didn't even know their names. The others seemed to know her though, because Rory could hear one of them say:
"See. That's the girl I was talking about. The one that hooked up with Tristan."
"Wow, I didn't know she's got it in her." Another student replied.
"See." Louise and Madeline had heard them, too. "We gotta go to class. Bye Rory."
Rory was still standing in the hallway looking surprised. Only when she heard the bell ring she walked to class.
She tried to focus on her lesson, but she could also feel her classmates looking at her. Rory was embarrassed, although she knew for sure that the rumours weren't true. She hated the fact that everyone was talking about her and soon she wished to be invisible.
But things got worse. People were not only talking about her, they even started talking to her, making comments like "Way to go, Gilmore" or "I heard you had some fun with Tristan". After her first two periods Rory was at the verge to tears. She had tried to convince people that she in fact had never slept with Tristan nor would ever consider doing so in the future, but nobody actually believed her. So she moved on to just ignoring them all together.
However it turned out to be impossible to ignore Paris, who cornered Rory after third period. "Slut" was pretty much the nicest thing the girl had to say to Rory.
During lunch time Rory went into the library, hiding behind some shelves and finding a little peace at least for a short period of time. She was dreading her afternoon lesson, which was history, a class Rory shared not only with Paris but also with Tristan. Although it seemed to Rory like she had already had to talk to the whole school Tristan wasn't among this crowd. She had only seen him once in the hallway, but had turned around quickly. He was the last person she wanted to talk to right now. Rory didn't know if he had been the one that started these insane rumours but she was almost certain that he was enjoying this. Must do hell for his player reputation.
Nevertheless Rory went to her history classroom early in order to avoid the masses in the hallway. Her plan didn't work though, since she directly walked into a group of guys. The only one she noticed was Chris Meyers, who was in her history class as well. Before she was able to turn around and leave one of the guys spoke up:
"Hey Gilmore, I've been hearing some interesting things about you."
"Leave me alone." Even to herself Rory's voice sounded weak.
"I've got a better idea..." The guy answered backing Rory into the lockers. His friends started laughing and cheering. Rory was scared, she totally was trapped.
"Hey guys, let me talk to Rory real quick." Tristan suddenly emerged out of nowhere, shoved his way through the guys and took Rory by her arm. Without another word Tristan pulled her away from the guys and around a corner.
Rory was incapable of saying anything. She was shaking and tears were flowing openly. Instinctively Tristan pulled her closer to him and let her cry on his shoulder. Neither of them noticed the students passing them, giving them curious looks or the bell ringing to signal the start of the period. They stayed like this, embracing each other, as long as Rory was crying. When she finally calmed down, Rory came to realise whose arms she was in. Quickly she backed away.
"You really seem to enjoy crying in my presence." Tristan remarked. Rory was about to say something, when she heard a cold voice:
"What are you doing in the hallway? Do you have a pass?"
Both turned around to see the headmaster walking towards them.
"Follow me into my office." He barked.
Tristan and Rory had no other choice than to do what he said.

So tell me what you think. Is it worth continuing? Cause I already have some ideas...
