UNSHAKEABLE
#4

On her first day at a new school, the easy-going Rory Gilmore meets the comically driven Paris Geller, who immediately views Rory as an academic rival. Though neither of them realize it, this introduction marks the beginning of a bond that will endure for decades. Throughout the series, Rory pacifies Paris when she's too high-strung, while Paris motivates Rory when she loses her way. All the while, they grow increasingly closer.

On the surface, Rory and Paris are just friends, which is perfectly fine for some of their fans. Others believe that their relationship fits the description of a romance, and have wished to see them paired as lovers.
