"Hey Lor"
"Chris, I told you I hate that name" she said rolling her eyes
"I know but it's my pet name to you"
"I don't need a pet name, I like my name fine"
"So…" Chris started ignoring her last comment, "How 'bout we hit a movie on Friday?"
"How 'bout" She began in a sarcastic tone "We test whether I care what you want, you jump off a bridge, if I catch you, I care, if I don't, well you'll know the answer"
"Will you catch me?" He says trying to sound sexy
"Nope"
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
"Dad, I don't think this is such a hot idea"
"Son, I want what is best for you, and if these people came all the way here, to Stars Hollow, just to ask you to join their school, then I think that's a 'hot' idea" He says for the 3rd time today
"I don't think I'll fit in right with all those preps"
"Luke, Chilton is one of the top schools in America, how many parents can say they have a child going to a top school?"
"I guess I could try it out, ya know? Test the waters?"
"I'm proud of you no matter what"
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
"I'm so not looking forward to this day" Lorelai says as she is walking in the door of Chilton
"Relax, I'm sore you'll do fine" Alexandra (AKA Al) says walking next to Lorelai
"I might know the things they're teaching but it doesn't mean I liked learning them"
"I hope some of the guys have gotten hotter" Al says developing a smile
"Me too" Lorelai replies
As they enter the doors the scan the room looking for people they want to aknowledge
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Luke on the other hand was another story
"Preppy, funny looking, big hair…." He says with a disgusted look. He had been checking out all the girls that walked by him to see if any were remotely interesting. "Blonde, so done with those, bald, maybe she can borrow some of hers" he said gesturing towards the big haired girl.
"Hey man, you new?" A man asked him, he was about 5'11" and had short brown hair and eyes to match it
"How could you tell?" he said looking confused, it's not like this place is a small town or anything
"You're checking out the girls"
"Okay" he said still a little confused
"I'm Mick" her reached his hand
"Luke" He gratefully shook it
"What's your first class?"
"Home Ec."
"Me too, but there is still 20 minutes, you can hang with me 'til then though"
"Alright" He followed Mick as he walked through the hall and headed towards a crowd
"Hey guys" the crowd turned to look at the man now speaking "This is Luke, he's new"
"Hey" was their response before they carried on
"Come on man, now we can go meet my girl and her friend"
"They aren't anything like those guys are they?"
"No, these girls have personalities out the wazoo"
"Personalities?" he said confused
"You'll see for yourself….. Hey gals, this is Luke"
"Hey Luke" A gorgeous brunette replied
"Luke, this is my girl Al" Hey pointed to the attractive brunette "And this is Lorelai" he said pointing towards the gorgeous brunette. Luke let out a small sigh, he was glad that the other girl was Mick's
"Hey" was his only response
"What are you here for, Luke?" Lorelai asks
"Baseball, you?"
"Torture" was all she said, Luke just shrugged it off
"Hey babe" a man said walking up behind Lorelai and snaking his arm around her.
"Chris, get off me, I'm not your babe. I'M NOT YOURS"
"Come on, I know you want me"
"Oh yeah, this fever for you is burning me up inside" she says sarcastically and rolls her eyes
Luke just chuckled
"Cindi Lauper fan?" Lorelai says looking at Luke
"Sister"
Lorelai just shakes her head realizing what he means
"So…." Chris begins, shooting an evil glance Luke's way "What's your first class Lor?"
"Huh, it's Lorelai and Home ec."
"Mine too" Al says
"Mina and Luke's too" Mick comments
"Cool we're all in the same class" Lorelai says
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Once in the classroom they all look for their seats. Al and Mick sit together of course
"Hey Lor, sit next to me?"
"That's okay, I'd rather stick my head in the oven and be Sylvia Plath of the 80's"
"Fine, but the only place left is next to the charity organization also known as Luke over there"
Luke hears this comment and begins to feel more left out and out of place
"Well, that's the best seat in the house from where I'm standing" He hears Lorelai say as she begins to walk towards him "Seat taken?"
"Guess not, my organization was kinda getting lonely"
Lorelai laughs and turns towards the front of the room, no other guy was like him here at the good 'ol Chilton. This just might be a good year after all.
"Okay Class," Mrs. Maude begins "I hope you know that the seats you're in are your seats for the years"
There were some sighs and complaints but Lorelai let out a little sigh of relief and a 'yes'
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
After school
"Hey partner" Lorelai says walking behind Luke, "when do you want to start our project?"
They had all been assigned (boy – girl) to do a project. For one whole month they would have to be a 'family'. They would get fake pay checks and jobs and had to draw from a hat the amount of children they had and write an essay as if it were all real
"Doesn't matter to me"
"Well, how 'bout now? If that's okay?"
"It's fine, where though?"
"My place is out of the question"
"Why?"
"You don't want to know"
"Well, where do you and our '3 children' want to go?"
"How bout your place?"
"Mine?"
"Yeah, I mean, I have to meet the fam eventually right?" She says with a smile showing that she already won
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
"Okay, so we have to start by naming our children"
"Why?"
"Because thing 1, 2 and 3 are taken, and Simon, Alvin and Theodore don't quite fit"
"Fine"
"What names do you like?"
"How about you pick them"
"Oh so you can knock me up but you can't help with the rest of the process?" She says in a teasing tone. "Okay so we have 2 boys and a girl so we can name one Luke…."
"No"
"What?"
"No"
"No, what?"
"No Luke"
"I'm Lorelai"
"I mean the name Luke, my son isn't going to be a jr."
"He's imaginary Luke"
"I know, but we have to act like this is real and in real life my son wouldn't be a Luke"
"Okay, Mr. Skeptical. How about Larry, Moe and Curly? Of course the girl would be curly"
"Be serious Lorelai"
She was caught off guard, that was the first time he said her name and he said it perfect. No Lor or Lorie or and mispronunciation. Just…… Lorelai.
"Fine, I always liked the name Destiny."
"Now the 2 boys"
"Justin?"
"One boy"
"Vincent"
"Now we have our kids"
"I think that's enough for today, lets hang out"
"Are you serious, we only got as far as the names?" Luke asked looking at the paper where she wrote the names
"Don't give that kind of attitude to the woman who birthed 3 children in one day mister" She said in a dramatic tone
If this were any other girls from Stars Hollow he would've gotten angry and told them off, but for some reason he wasn't angry at all at Lorelai. He was happy. He knew he was going to fall hard for this girl. It was just a gut feeling he had, but would she feel the same way.
