Chapter One: First day
Lorelai: "Rory!" she said as she shook Rory.
Rory: "Noooooooo!" she as she covered her head with her pillow.
Lorelai: "Come on Rory you don't want to be late for your first day of junior year." She said loudly.
Rory: "Yes I really do." She said from under her pillow.
Lorelai: "Rory don't make me start singing 'Opps I did it again." She said with a smile on her face.
Rory: You wouldn't." she said as she peeked out from under her pillow.
Lorelai: "Opps I did it again, I played with your heart, I got lost in the game, Oh baby baby." She sang at the top of her lungs.
Rory: "Ok Ok I'm up will you stop now." She said covering her ears.
Lorelai: "What you don't like my voice?" she said sadly.
Rory: " Only one person in this family can sing and that is me." She said with a big smile on her face as she sat up in her bed.
Lorelai: "Hey you don't have to be so mean, just because you are Rose Maylie doesn't mean it gives you the right to be mean to your mama." She said with a pout on her face sitting next to Rory.
Rory: "I'm sorry mom. Your voice is beautiful. Now I no where I got mine from." She said dramatically.
Lorelai: "You know it now get changed for school so we can go to Luke's for coffee." She said happily.
Rory: "Ok I will if you leave." She said gesturing to the door for her to leave.
Lorelai: "Fine fine I get it." She said as she left Rory's room.
About 20 minutes later Rory comes out of her room in some baggy jeans, a t-shirt, and s baggy sweatshirt on top. Lorelai is sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the paper.
Lorelai: "Rory come on you have some way better clothes then that in your room. I mean you have so many hot outfits I bought you. Why don't you wear one of those?" she said looking at what Rory was wearing.
Rory: "Why should I, I'm a geek at school. Why should I dress to impress when nobody will care, or better yet they will just laugh at me and call me a wannabee and make fun of me more." Rory almost yells.
Lorelai: " I am just saying maybe you will get that hottie you are always talking about to notice you finally." She said waiting for Rory's answer with a smile on her face.
Rory: "Mom he will never notice me. He is in his own band and every girl loves him. He is about the most popular guy in school he would never take a second look at me I am a geek mom." She says almost shouting at her mom and taking a sip of her coffee.
Lorelai: "Rory Rory Rory you are Rose Maylie. You would be way more popular then him if you told people who you were." She says staring at her daughter.
Rory: "Can we drop this subject if we don't leave now we won't be able to get to Luke's before I have to go to school." She said with a pleading look.
Lorelai: "Fine let's go but this conversation is not over." She says and grabs her shoes.
Rory: "Oh I think it is." She answers as she puts on her shoes, grabbed her backpack and went to the front door to leave.
Pretty soon they arrived at Luke's and went to sit at the counter. Luke came out of the storage room and noticed them.
Luke: "What would you like?" he asked as he walked over to them.
Lorelai: "How about chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, bacon, hash browns, a three cheese omelet, and lots and lots of coffee." She replied with a smile.
Rory: "Same here." She said as she looked around the diner.
Luke: "I don't know how you can eat this much but ok coming right up." He said and gives them some coffee then goes to give their order to Caesar.
Lorelai: "So who are you looking for?" she asked Rory seeing her looking around the diner.
Rory: "Nobody." She answers quickly looking at her mom.
Lorelai: "This nobody wouldn't be the lead singer/ lead guitar in the 'Autobiography of Jake Dawkins' who lives upstairs and who we were just talking about before we came here?" she says with a small grin on her face as she takes a sip of her coffee.
Rory: "Why would you say that?" she glares at her mom for noticing what she was doing.
Luke: "Here are your deaths on a plate and more death in a cup." He says as he gives them their food and pours them more coffee.
Lorelai: "Is that anyway to treat your favorite customers?" she said with a look of horror on her face.
Luke: "Just eat before I take it all back." He says as he turns to go take other customers orders.
Right as Lorelai and Rory were about finished with their food someone came down the stairs and out behind the curtain.
Lorelai: "Oh look who it is." She said whispering to Rory, who almost choked on her coffee when she looked up and noticed who it was.
Luke: "Jess you were suppose to help me this morning, where were you?"
He asks as he sees Jess finally appear downstairs.
Jess: "Sorry Luke I just thought that if I came down here early you would have lots of girls just in here trying to get my autograph or picture and you would get mad." He replied honestly while looking at Luke.
Luke: "Yea sure just fill up peoples coffee before you leave at least."
Jess: "Sure." He says as he goes to grab the coffee pot.
Rory: "Well mom I'm going to head to school now." She said as she turns to her mom so she is looking away from where Jess was standing.
Lorelai: "Ok hun have a good first day." She said with a smile, knowing why Rory is leaving.
Rory: "I will try but no promises." She says to her mom and gives her a kiss on the cheek and grabs her backpack.
Lorelai: "Ok Bye hun." She says turning back to her food.
Rory: "Bye mom, Bye Luke thanks for breakfast it was great." She yells as she reaches the door.
Luke: "Rory wait why don't you wait for Jess and he will walk with you." He answers looking up at her.
Rory: "Ummmmm… well." She tries to think of an excuse while still not facing Jess.
Lorelai: "Rory don't you have to meet Lane and Paris this morning. Wouldn't want to keep Paris waiting or she will go all crazy on you for being late." She says seeing Rory freaking out.
Rory: "Yea sorry Luke maybe another time." She says as she runs out of the diner and towards Stars Hollow High.
Jess: "Well Luke I must be getting to school now." He said as he went behind the curtain and grabbed his backpack.
Luke: "Ok bye Jess."
When Rory gets to school she goes to her locker and puts her books away. A minute later Lane and Paris appeared beside her.
Lane: "Hey Rory." She says leaning against the locker next to Rory's.
Rory: "Hey Lane, hey Paris. How are you guys?" she said as she turned to face her friends.
Paris: "Pretty good. What's your schedule?" she asked as she pulled hers out from her pocket.
Lane: "Yea I want to know too." She said with a smile and pulled her schedule out also.
Rory: "Oh yea hold on I'll get it." She turned around and grabbed her schedule out of her locker. "Ok I have Science, History, Math, Lunch, English, Free Period, and then PE." She says reading off her schedule.
Lane: " Oh we have History, English, PE and Lunch together. My schedule is Math, History, Science, Lunch, English, Band, and then PE." She says happily.
Paris: " Well I have four classes with Rory, two with Lane, and Lunch both you. My schedule is History, Science, then the rest is the same as Rory." She said reading her schedule then looking up at her friends.
Rory: "Sweet I only have to deal with one class without you guys. I may be able to live through this year." She said happily looking at her friends.
Lane: "Well that's good. Do you know how…" she was cut off by some girls screaming down the hall. They all turn to see what was going on when their eyes land a certain spiky brown haired boy.
Paris: "Well look who has arrived."
Lane: "I wish he would notice me then he could see how great of a drummer I am and I could replace their drummer cause he is so…"
Rory: "Lane we get it!" she yells interrupting Lanes rant.
Paris: "Well look who's a little feisty this morning."
Lane: "Yea Rory what's the matter?" she asked a little worried.
Rory: "Nothing is wrong. I'll see you guys later. I'm going to class." She says as she walks to her class. As she walked passed everyone to get to class she bumped into someone dropping her books and the unknown person's.
Rory: "Sorry. I am really sorry." She said picking up her books and the other person's. She looked up to the person she bumped into and found that it was Jess. "Here our your books. Sorry again." She said and ran down the hall to her class.
All Jess could do was stare after her and wonder who she was. When Rory arrived at her science class she took a seat towards the back and took out a book to read. Pretty soon other students started to come. Rory looked up as the last people where coming in and saw Jess coming. She quickly hid behind her book so he wouldn't notice her. When she saw him sit in a seat far to far to the left of her, lowered her book and looked up at the teacher who had just entered the room.
Teacher: "Good morning class I'm Mr. Jolly, and welcome back. This year we will be doing almost everything in partners. So today I will give you your partners then give you some handouts and then you are free to talk all you want." He started naming off partners and Rory was nervous because she didn't have any of her friends in the class so she doesn't know who she will get stuck with. She hope's it's not someone who hates her or she will be doing all the work alone. " Rory Gilmore your partner is Jess Mariano." She looks up in shock. Was she hearing him right. Then she sees Jess raise his hand. "Yes Jess?"
Jess: " Who is Rory?" he asked everyone started laughing because Rory was a geek and she was partnered with the most popular guy who doesn't even know who she is.
Mr. Jolly: "Rory please raise your hand." Rory did as she was told and raised her hand. Jess looked around and noticed she was the girl that bumped into him just a little while ago. "Ok now that everyone has a partner I have three handouts for you." He continued explaining the handouts for a couple minutes then told them they were free to do what they want. Hearing this Rory took out her book and started reading again. While she was reading she didn't notice Jess walking towards her.
Jess: "So you're Rory?" he said while she continued reading.
Rory: "Yep."
Jess: "So you were the one who bumped into me this morning right?" he asked sitting in the desk next to her.
Rory: "Yea sorry about that again.' She said blushing a little.
Jess: "It's ok. So why have I never seen you around school or town?" Just as Rory was going to answer she interrupted by Lindsey and Dean, who were two of Jess's friends.
Lindsey: "Jess why are you talking to that geek?" she said glaring at Rory.
Dean: "Yea she's like the most unpopular girl in school. Why would you want to talk to her?" he said with the same face as his girlfriend.
Jess: "Well guys she is my partner in science for the rest of the year so I will have to talk to her a some point." He was about to go on but was cut off by the bell. Rory quickly got up and ran from his so-called friends and out of the classroom. Jess noticed her run off and ran after her. "Rory wait up." He yelled. He saw her stop at her locker and opened it to get her other books out. "Gosh you are fast." He said as he finally reached her.
Rory: "Jess you don't have to talk to me we aren't in science anymore we aren't partners so why don't you just go talk to your friends." She said shutting her locker and walked past him.
Jess: "Rory you don't get it I want to talk to you." When he said this she turned around to look at him.
Rory: "You do?" she asked with a questioning look.
Jess: " Yea I was going to tell my friends that I could talk to anyone I wanted but the bell rang so I never got the chance. Anyways you are the only girl I've talk to that wasn't flirting with me or trying to get my autograph." He said with a small smile.
Rory: "Well that's good but I should be heading to class now." She turned to leave but he stopped her.
Jess: "What class do you have?"
Rory: "History with Mrs. Martin." She said reading off her schedule.
Jess: "Really so do I, let me see your schedule." Rory gave him her schedule and he compared hers to his. "Ok this is freaky we have the same schedule." He said looking up at her.
Rory: "Seriously? Let me see." She said grabbing their schedules from him. "Oh my gosh you are right." She said looking up at him then she saw the clock. "Oh no we are going to be late." She almost yelled.
Jess: "Well we wouldn't want that now would we." He said and grabbed her hand and starting running down the hall to class. When he grabbed her hand Rory blushed.
They arrived at class before the bell rang and Rory saw Lane pointing to a seat next to her to sit in. She went towards the sit with Jess following her. He looked around to see the only seat open was in the far back which was far away for Rory and he didn't want that. So he turned to the girl next to Rory (not Lane a different girl) and knelt next to her.
Jess: "Hey I was wondering if you would mind moving to the seat in the back for me?" he asked putting on his best smile for her.
Girl: "Sure, anything for you Jess." She said with a wink and got up and moved to the seat in back.
Jess sat down in the desk next and looked over at Rory who had a confused look on her face. He just smirked at her and looked towards the teacher. The day continued like any other first day of school with handouts and class rules. It was great for Rory though because she was in about every class she had Lane, Lane and Paris or just Paris, but most importantly she had Jess in every class. After 4th period Rory was walking to her locker thinking about what she should do for free period. When she was putting her books in her locker she felt a hand turn her around and slam her back against the locker next to hers. She looked at who did it to her and saw Crystal, aka the most popular girl in school and one of Jess's friends.
Crystal: "Let's get this straight Rory. Stay away from Jess. He would never be with you when he could have me. So stay away from my man." She glared at Rory and turned to walk away from her.
Rory: "You don't own him." She said just above a whisper.
Crystal: "What did you say?" she asked turning towards Rory again.
Rory: "I said you don't own him." She answered with more confidence in her voice.
Crystal: "How dare you talk to me that way." She said walking back up to Rory. "Don't ever talk to me like that again geek." She slapped Rory across the face. Rory dropped her books and held her face where she slapped her. Rory looked up at crystal with tears in her eyes. "Once again I will say stay away from Jess he is mine and if you go rear him again
I promise that what happened to you will be much worse." she whispered into Rory's ear then turned and walked away from her.
Once Rory saw that Crystal was out of sight she started getting her books. When she was about to get up she burst into tears. She didn't know how long she had been crying but she felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up to see jess looking worried. She quickly got up and put her books away and went to walk away from him. Confused, Jess went after her and stood in front of her.
Jess: "Rory what's wrong?" he asked. When she didn't answer or look at him he took his hand and put in under her chin and tilted her head up so he could see her face. When he did this he saw that her left part of her face was red. "Rory what happened?"
Rory: "Nothing, I have to go." She turned to leave but Jess stopped her again.
Jess: "No. You aren't leaving until you tell me what's wrong." He yelled at her.
Rory: "Jess if she sees me talking to you right now it will be worse." She yells about to cry again.
Jess: "She? Who did this to you, Rory please tell me." He says in a softer, more concerned tone.
Rory: "It's doesn't matter I have to go." She said quickly and ran off again.
She ran to the library where she was sure she would find Paris. Sure enough, Paris was in a chair in the corner reading. She hurried over to Paris and sat next to her. Noticing someone sat next to her Paris looked up to see Rory her left side of her face red and in tears.
Paris: " Rory what happened." She said worried about her friend.
Rory: "When I was at my locker Crystal came over and told me to stay away from Jess and I told her he wasn't hers so she slapped me. Then told me never go near Jess again or it will be worse next time. So guess what happens to me… I start crying and who finds me? Jess. He asks me what was wrong a couple of times but I never told him. I finally got away from him and found you to tell you." She tells Paris letting a couple tears fall again.
Paris: "Well don't worry Rory Lane and I will protect you. But I do have a question. Why do you care so much if you don't get to hang out with Jess?" she asks looking at Rory who is looking at the floor.
Rory: "OK I will tell you but you can't tell anyone. Promise?" she said looking up at Paris.
Paris: "I promise."
Rory: "Ok well I have had a crush on Jess sense the first day I met him. Which was when we were like 7 and I always go to the diner he never notices me. He didn't even know who I was in science today because I am to much of a geek, nothing will ever happen." She said looking towards the floor again.
Paris: "I knew it!" she shouts.
Rory: "Paris quiet and how did you know?" she asked looking around to make sure nobody was listening to them now.
Paris: "Rory I know you to well, I can read you like a book. Anyways we should be going. It's almost time for PE and I heard we actually do stuff in it." She laughs and gets up and Rory follows.
Pretty soon the bell rings and Paris and Rory head to the gym. They sit on the bleachers and a few minutes later Lane joins them. She notices Rory and asks what happened so they moved away from everyone else and told her the whole story, even the part about Rory liking Jess. When they finished Rory felt someone staring at her. She looked around and found that the eyes belonged to Crystal. Rory looked away and instead looks at a group of people entering the gym. In the middle of the group she sees Jess. She panics and tries to hide behind Lane and Paris but it was to late. He saw her and was coming over to her. Just then the teacher comes in and tells everyone to sit where they were which made Rory sigh with relief, she was safe for now. The coach explained the rules of class quickly then tells them that there gym clothes, which were on a table, outside the locker rooms in different sizes for everyone. When Rory heard this she hurried down the bleachers only to fall and hit her knee. Jess, Lane, and Paris run up to her.
Jess: "Are you ok Rory?" he asked looking at her.
Rory: "Yea I am fine I just went too quick. Come on Paris, Lane let's go get ready." She says and Paris and Lane follow her whole Jess just stares after them then turn towards to guy's locker room.
A few minutes later everyone was changed and around the teacher. Jess looks around to try and find Rory and spots her in the back with Paris and Lane. He heard the teacher start to talk so he looked back at him.
Mr. Knight: "Ok everyone we will be doing stations today in partners. They will be boy girl partners but I will choose them for you." He started going down his list and Rory was freaking out. This time though she was scared of what Crystal would do to her if she was Jess's partner. "Rory Gilmore and Jess Mariano." She looked up in shock. Why must this happen to her? What did she ever do? She felt someone staring again and turned to see it was Crystal glaring at her.
Pretty soon everyone had partners and then were assigned a station to start at. Jess went to their station and waited for Rory. He saw her walking and then saw Crystal in front of her. He then saw Crystal whisper something to Rory then push her a little as she walked past her. Finally Rory reached their station.
Jess: "Rory are you ok. Why did Crystal push you and what did she whisper to you." He asked as they did sit-ups.
Rory: "It's nothing to worry about." She answered quickly. Then it clicked to Jess.
Jess: "She was the one who hit you earlier didn't she?" he says looking over at Rory. Rory stops what she is doing and turns to look at him.
Rory: "Yea, but don't tell her I told you." She says with a pleading look.
Jess: "Why did she hit you?" she looked away from him. "Rory please tell me."
Rory: "She told me to stay away from you and that you were hers." She said looking down.
Jess: "Rory don't listen to her she doesn't know anything. You can talk to me anytime and I am not hers I will never be hers." He said looking at her.
Time flew by in gym and pretty soon school was over. The first day was over and for Rory it had it's ups and downs. Jess was waiting outside the gym for Crystal to come out. Pretty soon he saw a blonde appear and it was Crystal. He ran to go talk to her and she saw him and smiled thinking he had come to his senses about her.
Crystal: "Hey Jess."
Jess: "Crystal stay away from Rory. You had no right to hit her. I am not yours so stop thinking it that will never happen. If you don't like me talking to Rory, I really don't care because I can do whatever I want and you can't stop me." When he was finished he turned around and starting to walk away when he heard Crystal behind him.
Crystal: "You will come to your senses sometime when you see that Rory is nothing and you will come back to me." He just laughed at her and keep walking away.
He was walking down the hall when he finally reached where he wanted to go. He stopped at Rory's locker and but his hand on her shoulder. She jumped and turned around.
Rory: "Hey Jess." She smiled at him.
Jess: "Hey I was wondering if you, lane, and Paris would like to come see my band perform tonight?"
Lane: "I'm all for it." She said happily.
Paris: "I have nothing better to do so sure." She shrugged.
Jess: "Well what about you Rory? You can't miss it. We're performing with Rose Maylie. It's going to be great!" He said pumped up about tonight. When he said this, reality hit Rory. She was performing tonight she totally forgot.
Rory: "Sorry I can't I remembered I promised I would spend the rest of the day with my mom." She said nervously hoping they would believe her.
Jess: "Come on you are going to miss a great performance. You can hang out with your mom another day." He said hoping she would change her mind.
Rory: "I'm sorry Jess. Maybe another time. I gotta go, see you guys tomorrow."
Paris and Lane: "Bye." They said as Rory was walking away
Jess: "Bye Rory." He yelled after her. Then he turned to Paris and Lane to talk about tonight. They were excited.
When Rory got outside she ran all the way home. She got home quickly and ran to her room. She went to her closet and went inside it and pushed some clothes aside to reveal a door. She pushed it open and went inside her other closet also known as 'Rose Maylie's closet.' She sat in a chair and thought about the day. Then she looked around, and took a deep breath and got back up to find an outfit to wear for tonight and a matching mask (part of her disguise). Just when she thought should would get to relax, her day became longer. She couldn't wait till later tonight though. She would get to sing, which she loved, and also see Jess's band. She had a feeling it was going to be a pretty exciting night.
