Does This Look Familar to You?
There were desks lined along the walls each with a student, a computer and large pile of messy papers strewn about. I smiled and walked up to the editor's desk. We began talking before a pretty blonde girl walked up and interrupted us.
"Sorry Michael, but you wanted to see me or something I really can't read your hand writing. What do you want?" she asked.
"Ah yes Amy, this is Rory Gilmore, she is a transfer student from Yale, she will be starting here today and I need somebody to show her around"
"No Michael, I'm not showing her around, the last four people you got me to show around were flakes, plus I'm meant to be doing something today with some friends"
Nice to know I have a say in this.
"You do this for me and you'll have this weekend off"
"I wont be here anyway you know I'm busy, even if you don't give it to me I will just not turn up, and I wont send my article in, we will let LLG3 from the Yale Daily News beat us out again" she threatened.
"She won't beat you out from the Yale Daily News, she is here now" I said smiling.
"WHAT!" Michael yelled turning to me.
"I'm LLG3, they are my initials"
"I thought your name was Rory?" Amy said confused.
"Yes it is, but it's not my full name. I'm Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the third. My mother named me after herself, so I go by Rory as not to confuse people" I said feeling bored.
"That's why you're so familiar" Amy said with a look of realization on her face.
"Huh?"
"You went to Chilton, transferred there, you're the Lorelai Gilmore's daughter, and your grandparents live in Hartford" she said as if that explained it all.
"So?"
"That's amazing, Mike I'll take her around show her the ropes and stuff"
"Good thanks, and tell that brother of yours to get his ass in here, he needs to do some work"
"Okay" she said dragging me away.
"So here is a map, I hope you can read it, you know where you live and what classes you have and such, if we are caught apart Michael will have my head, I am going to meet up with my brother, you can come, talk on your phone the entire time or whatever, I don't care just don't bother him"
"Alright" I said confused.
This girl just had a 180 personality flip. I smiled up at her and followed her towards a small park on the campus.
We came to a stop near a group of boys who were playing soccer. I watched as they ran around and kicked at a ball.
The tall one with blonde hair caught my eye and I got a feeling that I knew him. I was about to ask Amy which one was her brother when my phone started blaring from my pocket.
"I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah" came out of my pocket, just like earlier I answered it in the normal way.
"I watched the world float to the
Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
To do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end" I sung with my eyes closed so I couldn't see the people around me staring.
"If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite" I continued without a thought, the other person on the phone harmonized with me.
"You called me strong, you called me weak
But your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground' I sung out thinking about Logan, I felt my hatred grow and let power into the words I was singing.
"If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well will you be
There holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite
/Oh whoa whoa/
/Oh whoa whoa/
/Oh whoa whoa/" I sung letting the song work its magic on me like always and calm me down.
"Well done, what are you up too?"
"You'll never guess"
"Having hot and kinky sex with some random guy?"
"No its better"
"Better than hot and kinky sex with a random?"
"Ok no, what is better than having kinky sex with a random guy, but it is just as strange as if I was"
"Ok I give, what are you doing?"
"Watching some guys play some stupid sport" I said before I heard a few calls of
'It's not stupid'
"Weird, what are you smoking?"
"Nothing, my tour guide is here waiting for her brother or boyfriend or fuck buddy or something"
"Hey I am not"
"Ah so you were paired with an idiot"
"Pretty much"
"So why did you stay with her?"
"Michael would get shitty at her"
"And you care why?"
"Your right I don't care if she gets fired from the paper"
"So you're going to leave now?"
"Yep thanks for convincing me"
"No problem sister"
"Good, how's Princeton treating you?"
"Great, is Harvard better than Yale?"
"Its looking that way, there isn't any Logan"
"Come on Rory, are you ever going to forgive him?"
"No Chris I'm not going to, he cheated on me, went behind my back and then pulled that stunt, he doesn't deserve my forgive ness so drop it, get that he is one of your best friends but leave it alone"
"Fine I'll drop it for now; I've got to go the grandparents are calling me"
"Tell them I want to speak to them and I will call them later"
"Ok I'll talk to you later"
"Yep bye"
"Goodbye sister, love you"
"Love you too" I said before hanging up and noticing the little circle that had formed around me.
"What?" I yelled causing them to take a step back.
"Settle down Rory, we were just a little curious about that phone call, you kinda yelled a little loud for parts of it"
"And your point is?"
"That maybe Mary grew up and we have to add mags to her name" the one and only Tristan Dugrey said coming into view.
"hello SOS, its just a lovely coincidence to see you here, it gives me even more reason to leave, Amy I would say nice to meet you but I really don't want to and I wouldn't mean it if I did, goodbye, and remember to tell your brother bout the paper, I'll be sure to go and talk to Michael again sometime during the day" I said before I turned and walked through the circle and away from them.
I found a library and walked around letting it calm me down from my experience with Dugrey. I wander around and find that nothing jumps out at me so I leave, and begin to wander around the campus.
I went home and decided to pack for the event that I had to head out to the next morning, I packed everything I though I could need, knowing that Steph would have what ever I didn't and that Finn would get me anything I wanted on a booze run if I asked him nicely enough or pouted.
I wrote a quick note to my room mate telling her that I was going to sleep and if she was doing anything in the room to keep it down.
I put my phone on its charger and fell into a deep slumber.
I awoke to the sound of Finn whispering all the dirty things he wanted to do to me in my ear. I inwardly smirked before I turned my head and kissed him on the lips.
"Oh god love, you're good at that"
"I know Finn" I smiled before I got up and showered and dressed. I put on light makeup that wouldn't smudge under the blindfold and let Finn carry my bag and lead me out to the car.
"Where's the blindfold?" I asked jumping in the car.
"Here it is reporter girl"
"thanks Collin" I said grabbing it and tying it around my head so that it covers my eyes.
"so who is the slut bringing to this event?"
"I get your upset but dubbing Logan 'the slut' isn't really that mature"
"I know Steph but it calms me down enough to be able to talk about him"
"Whatever works. Are there any hotties here at the rival school"
"well, there is ET, and his friends are kinda hot, and there are a few hot guys on the paper, but other than that I'm not sure, I didn't really go out guy hunting, I packed my stuff and went to sleep"
"You have no drama in your life"
"Yer I no but that's why I have you isn't it"
"Yes it is"
"If you two are done catching up, we are almost there"
"We can never be done gossiping Collin"
"Well you have to be so you can get settled, unless you plan on spending the event in the car"
"Finn we'll get out Collin" I said sweetly as I pulled mine and Steph's blindfold off. Why does this look so familiar? I shook my head of the thought and climbed out of the car.
I followed Finn to my tent thing and quickly grabbed my camera from my bag. I made my way over to the Princeton tents and looked for my brother in the crowd of people.
I spotted him and ran up behind him breaking a golden Gilmore girl rule. I jumped on his back and quickly took a few pictures of the occasion.
"Get the fuck off me" he screamed.
I let go of him and slipped off his back feeling guilty.
"Who the fuck do you think you are and what right do you think you have doing that to me?"
"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore" I shrugged.
"L" he shouted
"C" I screamed back. He picked me up and twirled me around before placing me on the ground.
"I didn't know you would be here"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"The situation"
"Oh come off it Chris, you and I both know that I am over him, I don't care about him, he doesn't know about you or about dad so how much did I really love him? Not much. Plus this way I can make him jealous making him think I had a boyfriend on the side the whole time who I love with all my heart"
"Oh yer and who will that sucker be?" I looked up at him with big puppy dog eyes and gave him a small smile.
"Fine, but I get to brag about you in the bedroom to Collin and Finn and he can just happen to overhear"
"That's a deal Chris" I said hugging him.
"Hey Chris, not that I don't love this moment you two seem to be sharing but would you mind explaining?"
"Oh put a sock in it squiggles we are talking" I said over Chris's shoulder knowing that it would clue him in.
"Rory?"
"Who else would it be Ben?" I said stepping out of my brother's embrace and into my childhood friend Ben's.
"I didn't know you were part of this?"
"Well you don't attend enough events to find out" I laughed stepping away from him.
"Hello? Clue the rest of us in you three" the only other female in the group demanded.
"Oh sorry Claire, everyone this is the famous Rory Gilmore, the one person to have our dear friend Chris here wrapped around her finger"
"Hey that's not fair; you're wrapped around her finger too"
"Boys, just give it up, you're both wrapped around my finger" I said knowing that they would soon be fighting.
"Fine, whatever you want Rory"
"So know one is going to introduce the rest of the group to me?"
"Oh yer, this is Jamie, Jack, Jacob, Jarred and Tim"
"You have a thing for 'j' names then"
"Oh course, now can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure lets go, it was nice putting faces the names I've heard so much about. I'll talk to you later Ben" I said while being dragged away. Once we were safely away from the event he turned to me and dropped my hand.
"Does this look familiar to you or is it just me?"
"No Chris it looks like we are on the Hayden property"
"You think we are?"
"I know we are, maybe both of us should leave, we can't risk it getting out here" I said looking around nervously.
"it wont get out, we'll be fine as long as they don't do anything stupid and security isn't called, don't worry about it Rory, if worst comes to worst we will flee"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, now let's go and start to party with the rest of them" I smiled and let him lead me back towards the group letting my worries disappear.
I reunited with the Yale group and talked with Steph and the boys before I saw Logan coming over and excused my self from the group.
I swiftly walked over the main Princeton group and snuggled myself into Ben's arms, something I only did when I was upset or frustrated.
Chris raised his eyebrow at me and nodded accepting my mouthed explanation of 'Logan'.
I joined into their convocation and was happy before I realized it. I didn't notice Logan come up behind me; all I noticed was Ben stiffen considerably.
"Ace" Logan started putting a stop to all talking within the circle and drawing everyone's attention to us.
"Go away Logan" I said without turning my head in his direction.
"You transferred to Princeton?"
"So what if I did? It's not like you care anyway"
"But I do care"
"No you don't Logan, and I don't want you near me any longer, please leave"
"Not until you talk to me"
"She asked you to leave" Ben's strong and comforting voice came.
"Stay out of it wanker" Logan said.
"Ben don't he isn't worth it he didn't matter" I said in a whisper to Ben.
"Are you sure? He is still owed an ass kicking for hurting you" he whispered back.
"So Chris told you?" I said raising my voice to its normal level and stepping away from Ben.
"Yes he did"
"I can't believe you told Ben, Chris what were you thinking?" I said turning suddenly to face my brother.
"I did what I though was best for you"
"Whats best for me?" I laughed.
"Ace" he said in a pleading voice.
"Get fucked Logan, I'm sure your and that whore will be happy together, I made myself clear that I didn't ever want to speak to you again" I said without turning around. I brought my hands up to my head and took a deep breath.
"Chris when you are done acting like your five, come and find me" I said walking away from the group and back to my tent.
I got onto my bed and collapsed into a deep sleep. I awoke to somebody shaking me gently.
"Who ever you are you better have coffee or I will kill you for waking me up at this ungodly hour without it" I grumbled as I sat up and opened my eyes. I held my hand out for the coffee and smiled at its speedy delivery.
"So am I forgiven?"
"Yes Chris you are" I said as I held my hand out for more coffee.
"Nope, for more you need to get up and dressed" he laughed as he left my tent.
"Meanie" I yelled after him knowing it was pointless anyway.
I dragged myself off my bed and got dressed in a pair of dark blue flare jeans and a black shoe string singlet top. I tie my hair up into a ponytail and applied some light makeup. I left my tent and walked over to my brother.
He was talking to Ben and had his back to me, I motioned for Ben to stay silent and I crept up on my brother.
I jabbed him hard in ribs and ducked under his arms to appear as if by magic between him and Ben.
"How did you? Wait I don't want to know" he said handing me a thermo of coffee.
"Thanks" I said before taking a drink.
"You took this didn't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Did anybody see you?"
"No, I was like a spy"
"Good cause if we get busted it will be all your fault"
"We wont relax Rory"
"Fine"
"Hey Rory"
"Hey Ben"
"Guess what our favourite friend here did?"
"What?"
"He told some choice people about your bedroom antics"
"He did, did he?"
"That he did, I mean I know that your kinky but with you own b-" I clamped my hand over Ben's mouth before he could say anything that could ruin life for me and Chris.
"Mhmsmag."
"What?" I said removing my hand from his mouth.
"I said sorry I forgot"
"It's alright" I finished my coffee and left the boys in search of more. I found my way to Finn's tent and went straight in.
"Finn where is you coffee stash?" I yelled in his ears. He jumped and screamed. I burst into laughter as he swore at me under his breath and got up in search of coffee.
"Your evil kitten" he said handing me some coffee.
"I love you too Finn" I said leaving his tent. I walked back to my tent and used my portable coffee machine to make myself some of the nectar of gods. I drank the whole pot it made before I braved leaving the safety of my tent.
"Come on love this way to the first activity" Finn said grabbing my hand and dragging me along. We arrived at the large lake at the back of the large Hayden estate that Chris and I had spent many summer days swimming in. I looked around for Chris and shot him a look which he replied with a shrugged.
"Go to the change room with the pink and purple and blue stripes and get changed into your bikini, Steph has it in there" Finn said pointing the direction of the change rooms. I smiled at him and walked towards Steph. I opened the door to the change room and walked in quickly.
"Steph, what bikini did you bring in here for me?" I asked as I walked further into the 'change room' which in reality was as big as my bedroom at my mother's house.
"I picked the black one that has the silver accents and your tiniest pair of board shorts" she said handing me the items she had just told me about. I smiled and changed into my swimmers with incredible speed.
"How long are you going to take?" Steph asked fixing up her red bikini top.
"I'm done" I said modeling the bikini for her.
"You look hot, i was right in buying it for you, Chris will love you in it" she said nodding in approval.
"Or hate me in it and demand I go and put something decent on" I thought to myself. I smiled as we grabbed our towels and left the change room with them wrapped securely around our bodies.
"So who is Chris's hot friend that Logan saw you cuddling into last night after you left us?"
"Ben?"
"Yes Ben"
"I wouldn't call him hot"
"You're right he is sexy but not as sexy as Chris. How did you manage to have him and Logan at the same time?"
"What the boys don't know can't hurt them"
"That's true if they knew half the things we get up to when their not around we'd be in so much trouble"
"Oi baby girl" my brother's distinct voice rang out from the water.
"What?"
"Are you coming in or what?"
"You heard the question Steph are we going in or what?"
"I'm not sure"
"I'll introduce you to Ben"
"We'll be right there Chris" Steph yelled getting up from the pool chairs we had sat on. I rolled my eyes at her before I stood up.
I turned away from the water and took off my towel. I heard a few whistles and cat calls and prayed that they were for any body else but me.
I sighed and grabbed Steph's arm and dragged her down to the dock.
"What are you waiting for meerkat dive in already" Ben yelled out from the middle of the lake.
"Shut up squiggles I'll dive in when I'm ready" I yelled back getting peoples attention.
"Chicken"
"Benjamin Charles Grant shut your mouth right now, I am not a chicken" I yelled before I dived perfectly into the familiar lake, I swam under water right up to him and pulled him under before I resurfaced.
"I want you to change Rory"
"It's not going to happen Christopher" I said in a hushed tone. He looked around and smiled at me before he pulled me under water. I came up and hit Ben's well defined chest. "Oww" I said indignantly.
"I do believe that you were meant to do something"
"Sorry Steph I forgot. Ben this is Steph shop-a-holic extraordinaire and Steph this is Ben aka snuggles" I said before I started swimming laps of the lake, letting it work its magic to make all my troubles evaporate away from me.
I swam length after length, stoke after stroke until it was like I was one with the water. I lost track of all time and my surroundings. I stopped at the dock and pulled myself out of the water.
"How long was I swimming this time?" I asked as I put my arms around Chris's waist from behind.
"A few hours" he said like it was no big deal, which it wasn't, compared to what I have done in that lake in the past.
"I'm going to go get dried and dressed then I'll come back to talk to you" I said before I got up on my toes and kissed his cheek.
I walked over to the pool chair that held my towel and quickly dried myself off.
I draped my towel over my shoulder and walked towards my change room. I didn't bother getting out of my bikini and just slipped my top and jeans over the top of it. I packed up the rest of my things and left the change room in search of Chris.
I found him and smiled as I watched him tell a story, most likely of one of our adventures when we were younger.
He looked amazed and happy as he regaled a group of people with the details of something that probably scared the crap out of his when it happened. I felt my smile reach up into my eyes and walked over to him.
I slipped my arms around his waist from behind and he stopped his story suddenly.
"Hey, I didn't see you come back" he said suddenly turning around to face me.
"I noticed I don't even think you realized that I my arms around you"
"I didn't"
"So what heroic story are you regaling them with?"
"The summer in Europe with Emily, after our first year of college"
"Please don't bring up what happened with the poodles"
"I wasn't going to but now"
"Don't you dare"
"Well since you put it that way"
"Hey kitten will you let him finish the story or do you want me to keep the crowd entertained?"
"He'll finish it Finn, I wouldn't wish you on anybody" I said smirking. Chris pulled me against him and turned back to the group. I sent a small smile and wave to Finn and Collin who were among the small crowd.
I leaned against Chris and listened to him finish the story, with only small interjections here and there.
"Love how do you know this story?" Finn said coming up after the story had finished and the rest of the group had walked off.
"I was there duh"
"You didn't tell us about that"
"I didn't know you then"
"Okay"
"All better now?"
"Yep"
"So Collin why are you here?"
"Finn dragged me over"
"And you couldn't resist his eyes?"
"Nope, not a chance" Finn replied for Collin.
"Not a chance for what?" a girls voice said as she joined the group. I flicked my eyes over to her and recognized her at once, Summer Roberts.
"Summer"
"And you are?"
"Are you serious?"
"Am I meant to know you"
"Chris I think she is serious"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Collin, Finn do you believe this?"
"Believe what Rore?"
"That Summer doesn't know who I am"
"I don't"
"Neither do I Finn"
"As in the chick and the ET"
"Yep her Chris"
"What the hell are you talking about"
"Hi summer, let me introduce you to Chilton's (or just Tristan's under his breath) Mary"
"Seriously?"
I nodded my head.
"No your not"
"Really, how can I prove it"
"Ok, Chilton's Mary went to a party that something big happened at, name the party, what happened, and who was involved"
"it was Louise's party, so it was at her house, there was French alcohol and drinks, Lane hooked up with Henry there, you and Tristan had a huge fight after he caught you with Austin in a bed room, then you went somewhere and he went to the piano room and was playing, then I ran into him there and some stuff happened and I left the party crying. Anything else?"
"You don't look like a Mary anymore, Tristan finally nail you?"
"No, but your fiancée has" I said smirking.
"Like he'd touch you with a ten foot pole"
"Who are you talking to babe?"
"Speak of the devil and he arrives" I said under my breath. I felt Chris's grip on me tighten as he went into protective brother mode, even though he was the younger of the two of us.
I smiled at it and watched as Logan looked to Finn and Collin and then to me and Chris, I watched as his eyes grew wide then narrowed, I saw the jealously pass through them followed by the anger before they turned back to emotionless.
"Hey Chris how are you man?"
"Oh you know, not bad, better that I'm close to this little girl right here again" he said indicating me, I could almost see his Hayden smirk.
"Am I invisible?" Summer asked demanding attention.
"No baby your not" he made me want to gag.
"Then introduce me to your friends"
"Yes darling" there was that vomiting sensation again.
"This is Finn Rothschild, Collin McCrea and Chris Beckinhimer" he said pointing to the boys each in turn.
"Its good to know I'm invisible though" I muttered turning my head away.
"Nice to meet you all, so where are you and Finn from?"
"Australia, we are escaping the Aussies over here though"
"But you don't have much of an accent"
"That's because I have been here since I was two, where Finn here was sent out what 6 years ago?"
"That's right mate"
"Oh okay"
"And still with the invisible girl act" I muttered.
"Hello Logan" I said deciding to be the bigger person.
"Ac- I mean Lorelai"
"Lorelai why does that sound familiar?" the ditz wondered.
"Is she serious?"
"Didn't we just go through this?"
"I know your Mary but Lorelai? Logan is she-"
"Summer shut the fuck up" Chris spoke up for everybody.
"Chris, I know you are my best friend since like diapers but don't talk to my fiancée like that"
"Why not?"
"She deserves more respect than that"
"No she doesn't, I went to school with the slut she acts the same now as when she was all over Tristan and Austin" I added.
"Just like you are now"
"What!" four voices yelled at once.
"How long after we were over did it take you to get with my best friend, who might I add I introduced you to?"
"You didn't introduce them" Finn added.
"Yes I did"
"No you really didn't Logan, if you listened to me when we went to that party you would have known that"
"Bull shit, how long Rory?"
"Since before dean at Chilton"
"What!"
"What part don't you understand?"
"So what you were cheating on me that whole time?"
"You mean like you were with summer and the others? No I wasn't, we didn't have sex than"
"I never cheated on you"
"That's bull shit Logan, and you know it, that's why I left the way I did"
"What way you did?"
"Have you been to 'our' apartment since your engagement was announced?"
"No, why?"
"No reason, baby can we go I need to get something before we eat" I said stepping out of Chris's embrace.
"Sure babe lets go" he said grabbing my hand.
"Later guys" he said as we started to walk.
"Thanks Chris"
"It's alright, now I thought you said nothing happened with ET"
"Nothing did happen with ET"
"You promise?"
"Yes Chris I promise nothing happened between me and the king of your rival high school"
"Good"
"You're an idiot" I said letting go of his hand and running away.
He crash tackled me to the ground just in front of a group of people who turned to see what the fuss was about.
"Get off me Christopher" I yelled causing him to jump off me straight away. I got up and brushed myself off.
"She will be hearing about this"
"I doubt it"
"Hey Chris, LLG3" a weird voice said from the group.
"Hello tour guide" I smiled.
"Amy, it's good to see you" Chris said giving her a hug.
"Explain"
"Rory, baby, you remember north oaks right, Amy is from north oaks"
"Yer too good to go to Chilton with her brother" Tristan's voice came from a different part of the group.
"Maybe that's because you're a total player Tristan" Amy argued back.
"You were Rory's tour guide?"
"Yes"
"Rory you got it wrong on the phone"
"No you did, I just went along with what you said" I said crossing my arms.
"Wind will freeze you like that Mary" Tristan said moving closer to Amy.
"Oh my god"
"Chris no"
"Rory is Mary? Oh my god"
"Chris no"
"Oh my god"
"Mary?" Amy asked confused.
"Don't you remember Tristan's Mary?"
"For the last time I am not nor have I ever been anybodies Mary!" I yelled.
I turned on my heel and walked off, this isn't my day, and I need to calm down. I walked back to the lake and swam a few quick laps before getting out and walking back to where everybody was gathered for lunch.
"Attention everyone" a random guy said standing up on the table.
"We are all here for one reason only, to PARTY! But before we do, I would like to thank the Harvard sector for organizing this weekend" he said and a round of applause and a few cheers.
"Thank you" somebody yelled out which stopped the noise coming from the crowd. A strange feeling came over me, something was going to happen, I got up as high as I could and looked around. I saw a few fast movements out of the corners of my eyes before I heard it.
"Everybody freeze you are surrounded" a voice echoed making everybody so silent that a pin could drop.
quotes of the chapter
And every bite i gave you left a mark
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn't want to fade
She enters his circle surrounded by smoke It begins with a kiss fire flares with passion released
So one last touch and then you'll go And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more But it was vile, and it was cheap
I can't find the words to tell you how I'm feeling and how much pain i am in and if i could would you really listen??
