RBDFAN, Just a Girl Of The Hollow x3, crockergirl, Ghostwriter- Heres the update you wanted..I hope you like it!
Curley-Q- I'm not sure if I'm going to make her get to know Lorelai and start to lke her, or what. Because, like I said in the summary, she's more of a rebel. If I make her start doing all the things that Rory and Lorelai do, she won't be rebelling, ya know? I think she's gonna be more like Jess, where she hates small town life, and stuff. What do you think?
Pbnk-ink- Yeah, I think I liked the second chapter better, too. There was a little more action in it.
Thanks everyone for your reviews!
Also, I know this doesn't have many of the show's actual characters in it, but they will come into it in a chapter or two, maybe even in this chapter.
Pupil to Party Queen
On Monday morning the school held a mandatory assembely for everyone to attend. Rory and Aster knew what it was about, but no one else did.
"Hello, students," Dean Medvers said once everyone was settled in. "This is a very important assembely, so can I please have everyone's attention. That means you, Mr. Corney. Okay, now that everyone's quiet. I'm sure that most of you have heard about that horrible car crash outside the Rockwell Hotel on Saturday, correct?" A few heads nodded in agreement. "Well, I regret to inform you, that one of our own students, Jason Konigsberg was the victim of that crash. He was standing outside the hotel, talking on the phone when a drunk driver crashed onto the sidewalk, pinning him against the wall of the hotel."
Rory started loudly sobbing, and Aster put her arm around her.
"The funeral will be held today at noon if any of you wish to attend. There will be no classes today, as it will be a day of rememberance for Jason. You are all dismissed now."
Rory, along with the rest of the school got up to leave the auditorium. It was 8:00 now, so the funeral was in four hours.
When Rory and Aster got back to their dorm room, Aster told Rory that she was going to go over to her friend Morgan's room. She could tell that Rory wanted to be alone. "Come get me if you need anything," Aster said. "It's room 221, only a few doors down."
Rory nodded. She climbed in to her bed and laid down. She was like that for about 15 minuted when her phone rang. She picked it up without looking at her called ID.
"Hello?"
"Offspring!" he mother chirped.
"Not so loud, mom."
Lorelai gasped. "Is it pssible that my first born, hell, my only child has her first hangover!"
"No, mom."
"Oh, honey, you don'y have to hide it. I'm not mad."
"I know, mom. But I don't have a hangover."
"Then what's wrong!"
"Did you hear about that crash outside the Rockwell Hotel?"
"Yes...But what does that have to do with you?"
"That was Jason."
"Oh, no, babe! Are you okay? Do you want me to come up there?"
"No, thanks, though."
"I'm so sorry, honey."
"Yeah," Rory said. "Well, I gotta go," Rory said. She didn't actually have anywhere to go, but talking to her mother was making her cry even more.
"Okay sweets. I'll talk to you soon. Feel better!"
"Okay, mom. Bye."
After Rory got off the phone with her mom, she realized that she didn't really want to be alone in her room. She decided to go to Morgan's room, because that's where Aster was. She hoped that she wasn't intruding. She left her room and walked down the hall. 218..219..220..221. Here it was. She knocked on the door.
Morgan opened the door, and looked a little surprised to see Rory.
"Hi, is Aster here?"
"Yeah, should I go get her for you?"
"Um, well, I was just wondering if I could hang out with you guys. I don't really want to be in my room alone."
"Yeah, sure, come on in," Morgan said.
At 11:30 Rory and Aster left Morgan's room to go get ready for the funeral. Aster didn't know Jason very well, so she was mostly going for Rory. Surprisingly, Rory had had a good time at Morgan's.
Once they were ready they left their room to go get on the bus that was bringing all the students to the cemetery. Jason's dad was making a speech, and Rory was asked to, but she wasn't. She didn;t think that she would be able to do it without breaking down.
"Jason," Mr Konigsberg started. "Was a very bright young man. He was exceptional in all his classes and was a great son. As they say in the movie, Catch Me If You Can, there were two mice that fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mouse refused to give up. He struggled so hard that he eventually churned that cream into butter, and crawled out. Jason was that second mouse."
Rory laughed a little as she wiped her eyes. "That was his favorite movie," she said.
After the funeral everyone got back on the bus o go back to campus.
Aster was going to a party that night, and Rory really didn't want to be alone.
"Do you think it's okay if I go with you?" Rory asked.
"Yeah, why not. It's in the Dickens Common Room." Each group of dorms in the girls' section was named after a famous writer.. In the boys it was named after famous artists. Rory's common room was the Hemmingway Common Room. She really didn't like Hemmingway. "But only on one condition," Aster said.
"What?"
"I get to do your makeup and clothes."
"Fine," Rory said. A makeover seemed like a good way to get cheered up.
An hour later Rory was wearing a white pleated miniskirt and a white tank top with a design in gold. He hair was curled and framed her face perfectly. She was wearing smoky black eyeliner and a bit of blush. She had pink lipgloss on, and she was wearing Aster's gold Steve Madden flats.
In other words, she looked hot.
They walked into Dickens with all eyes on them. No one expected Rory to be at a party the night of her boyfriend's funeral. But here she was, looking hot, no less.
"Drink, Rory?" she turned around.
"No, thanks." she said.
"Oh, then I guess I should have said, 'Drink, Mary."
"Shut up," Aster said. "She's mourning."
But it was too late. Rory spun around and grabbed the drink from Tristen, downing it in one gulp.
what do you think? comments pleaseee!
