AN: I know it's been forever since I've updated but I will try harder, I promise! I hope you guys like the new twist!

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how I wanted this story to pan out, and now that I do I will be updating better, I hope!

This one goes out to my Mom, sister, and best friend because of their amazing help!

Now on to Chapter 2…

Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning actually wondering what kind of impression I wanted to have on this small town. I went to the bathroom, got ready and went downstairs to work because Luke said I had to.

I just got to the bottom step when I heard Lorelai mention me to Luke, Rory, and some tall guy with floppy hair. So I stayed there to hear what the conversation was about.

"Is he adjusting to Stars hollow okay?" Lorelai asked Luke.

"Yeah, I guess." Luke said in a "Maybe, but I don't think so" kinda way.

"What do you mean?" Rory questioned.

"I don't know, it's just that he doesn't talk all that much." Luke answered.

"Well it must run in the family." Lorelai jokingly remarked.

Luke just glared at her.

"It'll get better. He just needs time to get used to Stars Hollow, it's a HUGE difference from?" Lorelai said, and then asked.

"Manhattan, New York." Luke answered.

"WOW! Poor Jess, having to move from such a huge city to such a small town." Lorelai said with sympathy.

I think, I never can tell anymore.

"Well I gotta go to work, see ya later." Dean, I'm assuming 'cause he gave Rory a chaste kiss before walking out, announced.

"Bye." said both Gilmore girls.

Once Dean was gone, Lorelai gave her daughter the "Are you gonna tell me or what?" look.

"What?" Rory replied to the look.

"What happened last night on your walk with Jess?" Lorelai said practically begging for details.

I was a little scared, (Okay, terrified!) that Rory was gonna tell her Mother everything.

"I gave him the 5-second tour, we talked about books, and then he walked me home." Rory told her Mother while leaving out my rant.

"Books?" Lorelai questioned.

"Yeah, he's got quite the opinion when it comes to certain authors." Rory told her.

"I didn't even know he read, well I knew he read but I didn't know he read, read. I mean," She paused to take a breath and try again, "I didn't know he read like you do." Lorelai smiled as she finished, probably happy that she finally got out what she was trying to say.

"I got it." Rory smiled amused.

"Ugh! Luke, another cup please?!" Lorelai asked when she realized that her cup was almost empty.

"No." Luke flatly said.

"Lukey!" Lorelai put on some puppy-dog eyes.

Now that the conversation was off of me, I decided to make my appearance. Rory was the first to notice me, I gave her a grateful glance and she responded with a "You're Welcome" nod.

"No! And stop calling me that!" Luke exclaimed.

I decided to stop this so I grabbed the coffee pot and refilled Lorelai's cup, to shut them up!

Lorelai grinned, then said, "You're my new favorite diner boy, you don't deny me coffee!"

"Jess!" Luke reprimanded.

"What?" I said as innocently as possible while trying to stifle a smirk.

"You're not supposed to give them coffee!" Luke semi-yelled.

Then I said what nobody, for some odd reason, had pointed before, "Isn't serving the customers what they want part of the job, including the coffee?"

Both Gilmore's grinned with pleasure and pride.

Luke glared and then went to serve other customers.

"I can't believe you just did that!" Rory said bringing her grin to a small smile.

"Well, annoying Luke will be another perk of living here." I pointingly said to Rory while looking in her eyes.

Rory caught the message, the other perk was her, and blushed.

"Hey, you wanna go to this bookstore opening in Hartford?" I ask hoping for a 'yes'.

"Sure!" Rory answered excitedly.

"Alright, I'll meet ya after school." I said setting it up.

"Cool! Well I gotta go, bye." Rory replied, then said to Lorelai and me.

"Bye." Lorelai and I replied, and then I went to serve other customers.

When I walked away I couldn't shake this unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. I also didn't notice a shiny Black new Hummer parked right in front of the diner.

AN: I know, MAJORLY short but I really wanted to leave this with a cliffhanger. Next chapter will be the bookstore & more of the mysterious stranger.
