"Rory! Wakey, wakey! Time to get up! Chilton awaits!" Lorelai called
as she thew Rory's bedroom door open.
"I'm up! I'm up!" Rory mumbled as she swung her feet out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom. She felt like a two-ton truck had hit her. After taking her shower she climbed into her Chilton uniform. When she looked in the mirror she noticed she looked really pale. Even for her fair complexion, she was pale. I'm just tired from studying so late. I'll be sure to go to bed early tonight. She thought to herself. So she put on some extra blush and headed down stairs for coffee.
"Umm coffee." She grumbled as her mom handed her a steaming cup of heaven. She chugged about half the cup and started to feel a little better. "Ah. Better! "
"So breakfast at Luke's?" Lorelai asked as she took her coat and purse.
"What kind of daughter would I be if I said no?" she said as she put her dirty cup in the sink and grabbed her backpack.
By the time they got to Luke's Rory was winded. She wasn't exactly an athlete but she could usually race around town for hours before getting as tired as she was at the moment. "You order. I need to sit." She panted as she sat down.
"You ok kid? You're not looking so good." Lorelai asked noticing how pale and tired Rory was.
"Yea, I'm just hungry is all." She lied, not wanting to worry her mom.
"Ok, I'll get you a muffin." she said as she went to the counter. She knew Rory was lying, but didn't want to argue about it. She had noticed how pale Rory was for a while, but didn't want to mention it. But today, walking to Luke's and having Rory be exhausted by the time they got there was unnerving. After arguing with Luke she returned to the table with two coffees and two muffins. "Here you go sweetie. Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yea I'm fine, just a little stressed out is all. I'll be fine after I get this World War 2 test out of the way." She explained as she ate her muffin. "I gotta go get the bus. I'll see you this afternoon." She said as she got up and kissed her mom on the forehead and left. She was feeling better, but still very weak. As she rounded the corner she saw Dean sitting at the bus stop reading. She could feel herself smile as she approached. When he didn't look up she crept behind him.
"Anything about me in there?" she asked
"Hey!" he said as he kissed her. She came around and sat by him. "So do you have plans for this afternoon?" he asked when she sat down.
"No, what did you have in mind?"
"Well, since I have a half day today, I could pick you up after school and we could catch a movie."
"You have a half day?"
"Yea, teacher workshop or something. So how bout it?" he asked suddenly noticing how tired and weak she looked.
"Yea. That sound great."
"Are you ok? You don't look so well."
"Yea I'm fine. Why is every one asking? Did I sprout a third eye or something?" she was starting to get aggravated that everyone was asking.
"No it's just that you look really pale, and you've gotten pretty thin too. But I know you've been eating, heck you usually eat more than I do. Do you feel ok?" now that he mentioned it she looked like she felt terrible.
"Yea, I've just been kind of stressed and tired. But I'm fine."
"Ok if you're sure." He said as the bus pulled up.
"I gotta go, I'll see you this afternoon." She kissed him and got on the bus.
