Chapter One

A/N: Sorry it's been so long since I wrote but I've been busy and out of inspiration sometimes. Anyway, here's a little something new. Hope you like it!

Read, enjoy, then please review! Plus, on my profile there is a poll that I need you guys to take for me to write the next chapter. It's about the books, and if there are any suggestions, send me a message :)


Jess got off the smelly bus finally, and was greeted by his uncle, Luke.

"Jess."
"Luke."
They both stand there, looking around, Luke closing and opening his fists uncomfortably.
"Okay, so... uh," Luke motions in the direction of the diner and leads Jess to Luke's.

Jess takes a brief glance at his surroundings as he follows Luke into the diner, What kind of town have you sentenced me to Liz?
"Well, this is my diner," Luke says, motioning around him, after they enter the diner. "Oh," Jess interjects, thinking Aw, well isn't this a cute little joint, Uncle Lucas. "It belonged to your grandpa," Luke tells him, trying to relieve some of the awkwardness, thinking, Liz owes me big for this one. "Uh-huh," Jess grunts, And I care why?

They look around for a few seconds. "Yep," Luke leads Jess upstairs to his apartment.

"Well, here we are," Luke says as they enter his apartment, "It's pretty simple." Luke motions at the room, "This is the room." Luke motions to the various places in the apartment, showing Jess around, "That's my bed, that's your, uh, bed for now, but the sheets are new." Luke walks to the other side of the room, "There's the bathroom, there's the closet, there's the dresser, the phone and over there is the kitchen..."

After a few seconds of slightly less awkward silence, Luke breaks the silence by saying, "I've got Frosted Flakes."
Jess, with a little sarcasm, imitates Tony the Tiger, "Wow, that's grrrrrreat." Maybe this won't be quite as bad as I thought, at least Luke is trying. I might give him a break eventually.

Luke exhales the breath that he finally realized he had been holding, "So, is that all your stuff?" He motions to the duffel bag Jess is carrying over to the blow-up mattress.
"Yup," Jess grunts, ok Uncle Luke, enough with the questions, it's gonna become really annoying very soon.
"Ah, well, there's not much there," Luke says, taking a small step towards Jess, ok, now you can stop babbling and let the kid settle down, you're becoming annoying.
"Well, Lizzie's sending the rest later," Jess replied, rolling his eyes slightly, if she remembers, at least. "So, you need some help?" Luke asks, get your ass back in the diner and stop bothering the poor kid. Jess dumps out the bag and some pants, shirts, a couple packs of cigarrettes, and a few books topple out onto the blow-up mattress, "Nope."

"Ok, uh, I have to get back to the diner. I'm gonna close up at 10 tonight, so I thought-" Luke said. "See you at 10," Jess interupts as he walks towards the door with a book and a pack of cigarrettes in his hand, yes, Uncle Luke, I just threw you a bone.
"But, wait, you need keys," Luke said as Jess opened the door. "No, I don't," Jess said as he left. Luke mumbles to himself, "I so don't wanna know why."

Meanwhile, Jess looks around at the scene of Stars Hollow that appears for him when he exits Luke's diner. What the hell is going on here? Are all small towns like this? I could get used to the quiet of this place, I'll mix up some trouble tomorrow, but for now, where's a place to read that no one will see me?
Jess walks off across the road and wanders around aimlessly, looking for a place that is secluded.
Finally, he stumbles across a bridge that is secluded in the woods. He's surprised that no one is here since it isn't very far from the high school.


Sorry about the very short first chapter but I wanted to get the story started. Rory will be in the second chapter. Also in the next chapter, there is a lot of heating up of Rory and Jess's relationship. However, I'm not updating until i receive at least 5 reviews! So, please review! Love ya!
