CH 1
A Fresh
Start
Dean was almost done packing the last of his stuff into boxes.
Is this everything? Kyle shouted from the outside of the apartment.
Yeah, I just have a few more; I'll be able to get those.
Thanks for your help Kyle.
Alright I guess I will be going then. Give me a call if you're ever back in Stars Hollow Forester.
Later Kyle.
Dean thought to himself "ever back in stars hollow" why would I ever come back? There was nothing left here for him. Things between him and Rory were over and his family all decided to move back to Chicago four months ago.
Luke looked out the window of the diner and noticed Dean packing his truck.
Ever since Dean moved into the apartment across the street from the diner he became a bit of a hermit. Luke never did see much of him except for the occasional walks he would take at night and then he would stop in at the diner for a cup of coffee before going back home for the night.
Luke walked across the street to see if Dean needed some help with loading the truck.
Hey Dean! Luke shouted crossing the street.
What's with all the boxes? You moving?
Yeah actually I am. I was accepted to NYU. It was a last minute decision so now I have the weekend to get moved into the dorm and settled before Monday.
WOW. Dean that's great that you're going to school. Hopefully since you waited a while before going to college, you will finish. Well Good Luck with everything Dean.
Dean gave Luke an awkward look. Luke started to turn around and walk back to the diner.
Hey Luke? What did you mean by that exactly?
Well you know the whole situation with Rory not being in school. I guess I'm upset with her about it. That and of course the way she is treating Loralie.
Rory's not going to school anymore? Dean asked. What do you mean?
Luke looked back at Dean who was obviously clueless. He didn't know.
Oh sorry Dean I thought you would have known by now, almost everyone else in the town does. Rory and her mom had a huge blowout with each other and Rory isn't going back to school, as of now anyway.
Dean was speechless. He didn't know what to say, yet he had a thousand questions at the same time. Why would Rory quit school? Being #1 on the list. It's over between them though and he has nothing to do with this anymore so he decided to just keep quiet.
Luke, could you do me a favor?
Sure Dean. What is it?
Don't tell Loralie or Rory that you talked to me today. No one really knows I'm leaving that still lives in this town except you and Kyle. I just wanted to keep it quiet.
OK I can do that for you. But its good news you know, you shouldn't hide this.
Yeah, well I gotta get going. Maybe I'll see you later Luke.
Dean arrived at NYU about noon that day. Everything was so busy. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry. Pushing his way through the crowds he finally made it to the admissions office. Overall he was pleased with his basic classes and the times they were held. As late as he was registering for school he didn't think there would be any classes left to enroll in, that were halfway decent. As he walked out of the office, he looked down at the paper in his hand; it read Building E Dorm 24.
He pushed the dorm room door open to find an empty room. This was too good to be true…he was late and yet he still had first pick of which side of the room he wanted. He chose the bed on the left. After everything was unpacked he sat down on his bed taking in his surroundings. Finally, he thought, I'm going to college.
Dean ran out to grab something to eat and to take in what he
could of the city in a few hours. He stood in the middle of Times
Square watching everything around him. This is a good thing he
thought to himself, starting over where no one knows you. This is
exactly what I needed, to be away from Stars Hollow, he already felt
as if a huge weight had been lifted from him. Time flew by. When he
looked at his watch it was already 1 AM. He
headed back to the
dorm.
As he looked for his key to the dorm room he pushed on the door a little to find that it was already open. He slowly went inside to find that apparently he had a new roommate; the bed on the right was now occupied by someone who was already fast asleep and snoring loudly. Great, he thought to himself. He decided to just go to sleep himself and meet his new roommate in the morning instead of waking him tonight. As he lay in the bed he set his alarm clock for 8 AM. Everything was so exciting for him at this point he couldn't even sleep, he noticed his roommates luggage on the floor, only two duffel bags. Light traveler he thought.
8 AM
The alarm clock went off, Dean began to raise his arm to turn it off when a pillow flew from the other side of the room and hit him in the face. The voice of his new roommate screamed "turn that off you idiot".
Dean stopped to think about what just happened for a second and realizing he found the voice of this guy to be very familiar. As he stepped closer to the other side of the room he became even more confident in the fact that his assumptions were correct of whose voice he had heard.
Dean stood over the bed of his new roommate and screamed "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he immediately bolted up in the bed to see why his new roommate would be asking him such a stupid question, he turned around and saw Dean and that question was answered.
Once again Dean demanded an answer to his question. What are you doing here, Jess?
