My Hidden Destiny

Chapter 3

Three days had passed and he had little more information than he started with. He was beginning to feel that it was a lost cause until one Friday morning, his cellphone rang and it was Colin.

“Colin, what took you so long?” he greeted him.

“Man, you are not going to believe what I have to tell you!” Colin states in excitement.

“Come on,Colin, I’m really nervous.”, he answered.

“Pack a bag and meet Finn and I at the jet in an hour. She is at Princeton, man.” is he says, still not believing it himself.

“At Princeton? What the hell is Rory doing at Princeton!? I thought she went on the Obama campaign trail..” Logan says.

“Apparently not. She is enrolled and taking classes there.” he tells Logan

“Taking classes? Is she studying again?  What would be she studying?” Logan continued confused.

“Man, I don't know what she is studying. But she is there. Now quit wasting time. Get moving and meet us at the jet. The sooner you get there, the sooner we can take off.” Colin tells him with authority.

“Alright man, see you in an hour.” He tells them and disconnects the phone call.

Meanwhile on the other side of the country….

Rory is just starting to wake up to get her day started. Today, thankfully, is one of her slow days. She has only one class today which is Political Science.  She hoped Jake wouldn’t be there.  His annoying presence was too much.  The guy couldn’t take a hint if it smacked him in the face.  Tristan wouldn’t be here today because he didn’t like the guy either. Fortunately, the class went quickly and Tristan would be there to walk her out.  She left the class a bit too early and felt someone tapping on her shoulder. She turned around and sighed exasperatedly.

“What do you want? I said I’m not interested in going on a date with you, Jake. Don’t you understand the English language?” she exclaimed.

“Come on, Rory, don’t be so harsh.” he tried again and had grabbed her arm to stop her.

“I think the lady said she was not interested.  I would suggest you let of go of her arm!” Tristan tells him as he approaches Rory.

“Why should I do that?”, he questioned.

“Because if you don't, I am going to lay your ass out on the ground.” Tristan said through his teeth as Rory jerked her arm away from Jake.

“I’m shivering.”, he joked as Tristan came closer to him.

“I’ll say it once more. Leave her alone..” Tristan whispered to him in a serious voice and looked at him angrily. Jake backed away and walked off.

“I’ve never been so glad to see you, Tristan. Thanks for your help.”, she said gratefully.

“It is ok, but you look a little pale. Is everything ok with you?” he asked concerned.

“Yes, everything is fine, Tris”. She tells him as she hears an Australian accent in the background asking if anyone knows a Rory Gilmore.

“No I’m sorry, I don't know her” they heard someone answer.  Finn he sighed in frustration. He buried his face into his hands for a moment .

Tristan decides to walk out and talk to them since apparently Rory seems to be in shock and frozen to her spot out of sight.

“May I help you?”, Tristan asked as Finn turned to him.
