A/N: Okay this is my first attempt for a good novel so please work with me and give the story a chance.

Chapter One - Beer or Bust

Rory had been neighbors with her 2 best friends since before they could remember. Colin, and Finn those were her friends, No questions ask. In every story she told at least one of them was in it. They over the years had become each other's life. Yeah they had other friends but in the end they were always happiest with each other but soon that was all going to change. Rory had decided she wanted to go to boarding school………….. IN GERMANY!!

Everyone wanted her to change her mind from the moment the words came out of her mouth, but rory was set in her ways. She loved her family and her friends but she wanted to try new things and she needed this for herself. Her friends were used to her being shy, timid, and weather they wanted to admit it or not………… boring. She knew people liked to tease her about it but she couldn't help but think that he really did think she was just boring. Needless to say NO MORE WET BLANKET is what and how rory wanted to be.

She had finally gotten everything packed up and ready to go. She had already checked and double-checked all lists. She had even re checked her pro con list to make sure she was doing the right thing. She did. She just needed to do this. As she made her way down the marble staircase in her house she saw her favorite people standing at the bottom. Her dad was holding a smores pop-tart, her mom was holding a bowl of coffee and Colin and Finn were all holding a sign that said "Beer Or Bust" They were all grinning from ear to ear.

"Good Morning darling daughter. Food?" Her dad handed her the pop tart.

"Fruit of my Loins! Drink"

"Okay you guys have got to stop watching me while I sleep. It's just creepy now!" Rory exclaimed.

"Darn it. We were doing so good" Her mom laughed out loud "I tired to be a good actor"

Rory turned to Finn.

"Okay love, we've deceided that if you weren't going to change your mind about going to that ungodly place then we'll just go with you!" Finn Jumped up in the air with the last part.

"Finn, I've already told you that you CAN'T come with me. I'm sorry"

"I know darling but it was worth a shot." Finn pouted.

"Finn you do know that I'm going to miss you!! I'm going to call you everyday and write to you even more and Finny dear when I'm not talking to you or writing to I'm going to be thinking about you and your pretty pretty face!!"

"Oh don't make promises you can't keep love"

"Oh Finny" Rory giggled wiping away fake tears.

"My Dearest Rory"

"Finny"

"Rory" Finn exclaimed clutching his heart.

"But Finn Darling, it's only going to be a matter of time before you get kicked out of Chilton and are with me at boarding school."

"She's right Colin. We should make that our goal for this month."

Colin nodded in agreement. He was still a little shocked at Rory's decision. Most kids are forced to go to boarding school but Rory forced her parents to let her go to boarding school.

Colin snapped out of his thoughts and asked "Where are your bags we'll take them to the car"

Rory pointed to the masses of suitcases that were in a pile at the bottom of the stairs.

"Be careful with my books!!! I checked them before I packed so any damage done will be your faults and you know I'm serious. Anyone remember when Finn threw up on my first copy of "To Kill A Mockingbird" when we were in 2nd grade?"

The boys shuddered. Of course they did. Finn had been sick and thrown up on the book, even in 2nd grade rory had been a big reader but she had no sympathy for poor Finn because he was sick. She chased him around the house to beat him with an atlas for at least 10 minutes and she stopped only because she was tired. Rory smirked to herself. How was she going to do without them by her side? They had always taken care of her always there when she needed them. It was more like she had 2 big brothers then just friends. Once in 5th grade at their prep school. Some kids were picking on rory cause she kept reading when it was recess. When the guys had gotten wind of which kids it was they went up to the kids and made them eat sand. Even in the 5th grade the 3 of them together made the best team. Rory was the book worm, Finn the …….. Lovely, and Colin, the reasonable. They used to call themselves the 3 musketeers. Corny, yes but in 3rd grade they thought it was pretty original. She was going to be a million miles away from them. She was going to miss their team but more than that she was going to miss their friendship.
