Emma got up in the morning and started to make her way to the bathroom still half asleep. In the process of reaching the bathroom she tripped over a box and with a scream fell flat on her face. She got up and grumbled some profanities and went into the bathroom. When she was all ready she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed a pop-tart and started eating it. Next she was on a mission to find the cabinet that contained the coffee mugs. After three wrong cabinets she finally found it. She grabbed the closest mug and went to the coffee pot. She grumbled more profanities when she picked it up realizing it was empty. She set the pot and mug down, grabbed her pack, and went out the door. She got to the bus stop coffee-less and still grumbling.

When the bus pulled up she slowly got on and sat down. She took the earlier bus because she wanted to put pictures up in her locker. She didn't want to be staring and cold metal every morning, it would make for a very depressing locker.

Her grumbling was less with each picture she put up in her locker. The first one was of her and Torie in the back of a cab laughing at the latest prank they pulled. She picked up another photo and looked at it. It was a group picture from Homecoming last year. Austin still looked shaken up from his encounter with her father. She laughed when she put the picture up that had Torie, Emma, her other friends, Rob, Rachel, Ryan, and Michael. Everyone in the picture was smiling except Emma who was giving Michael and evil glare because right before the picture was taken he slung his arm over her shoulder. She was onto her last picture and it was of her and Ryan hugging. Ryan was her best guy friend. They would always get in trouble in class for pulling little pranks. She was just about to tape it up when an unwanted blond haired, blue-eyed boy appeared.

"Go Away," Emma said still looking at the pictures hanging in her locker.

"Hello to you too, Emma."

"So you do know my name." Emma was already not liking her day and it was only seven in the morning.

He leaned closer to her. "I've always known your name."

"How god-like of you," she replied dryly.

He glanced at the picture in her hand and asked, "Boyfriend?"

"What?" He motioned toward the picture in her hand. "Oh, no just a good friend."

He leaned even closer trapping her between him and her locker and whispered, "I can be a good friend too. I can keep you warm at night."

Pushing him away she replied, "Sorry that position is already filled by someone a million times better than you, Ernie."

"Ernie?" he asked amused.

"Yes Ernie. You know like Burt and Ernie."

"I know who Burt and Ernie are but I still don't get it."

"My overly sized stuffed animal, well actually I don't think Ernie can be considered a stuffed animal but I think you catch my drift."

He chuckled, "I'm sure Ernie won't mind if I take over."

Emma was getting more annoyed each passing minute. "That is where you are wrong, Ernie is very possessive. Don't you have someone else to bother?"

"Yes, but I chose you."

"Yay me." She added sarcastically, "Well I hate to end this but I have to go." After saying that she slammed her locker shut and walked to her first class. On her way to class she caught up with Ashley.

"Hey Emma."

"Hey."

"So how is your project coming along? Has the douche bag finally revealed his true colors?"

"The project is going great. And there was no color revealing. Jacob seems like a nice guy."

Ashley rolled her eyes. "I bet."

"So how is your project going?"

"Eh, we haven't started yet. But I am a master at procrastination so we will probably put everything off to the last minute."

They walked in to the classroom and took their seats. At the sound of the bell Mr. Medina began by saying, "Okay, so today I am going to have you work on your project with your partners. You can go to the library if you need a quieter environment. Now get to work."

Jacob got up from his seat in the back of the class and sat next to Emma."Hey, do you want to go to the library to work?" he asked her.

"Sure, let me just grab all my stuff."

In the library they finished all their research. Now all that was left was putting it all together for the paper. Emma was in a creative mood so she was designing their costumes and scenery pieces. She was cutting out objects when Jacob let her know that he was going to look for a book that he saw yesterday.

She was still cutting out things from paper when that unwanted person came up to her.

"Why me?" Emma pondered out loud.

"Because you want me," he said with a smirk.

Emma hesitated for a moment then replied softly, "You're right. I do want you." His eyes widened as she grabbed a hold of his tie and pulled him closer. With her other hand, which happened to still be holding onto the scissors, Emma snipped his tie in half. "Oops, did I do that?" She asked innocently batting her eyelashes at him.

Recovering quickly he loosened the top of his recently decapitated tie and took it off. "I believe you did, but don't worry I can think of a couple of ways in which you can pay me back. I'll see you around, Mary." He winked at her and started to walk away but was stopped my Emma's hand that was still holding the other half of his tie. "Keep it as a souvenir," he smirked and then walked out of the library.

When he left Emma growled in frustration and threw the tie down. Jacob came back with the book he was looking for. They looked at the clock and noticed they had five minutes left until the bell rang so they gathered their things.

"It looks like we put a big dent in the project," Emma sighed with satisfaction.

"Yup. Do you want to come over to my house on Saturday to start writing the paper?"

"I think that is a good idea. I just need a time and directions and I will be there."

"Okay, so how does three o'clock sound?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Here are the directions to my house. And if you get lost here is my cell phone number." While Jacob was talking he took a scrap piece of paper and started writing out the directions. "Here ya go."

"Thanks."

Emma was standing in the lunch line and Ashley came up to her. "I didn't know you had this lunch! Awesome, now you can sit with me."

Once they got through the line they found a table and sat down. Emma saw a certain blond haired, blue eyed guy on the opposite side of the cafeteria and groaned. "I hate him."

"Who?" Ashley asked following Emma's eyes. "Alex Dugrey?"

"Yes," she mumbled.

"Yah, he is pretty cocky. There are a lot of rumors flying around about him and his family. I hear he lives with his grandparents now. I don't know why but I guess his parents just couldn't handle him or something. He used to go out with Bree. They seemed pretty serious but they broke up over the summer. I don't know why, she probably cheated on him or something. All I know is that over the summer he changed. He goes through girls like Kleenex now. Bree is now going after Jacob, which is probably why she hates you plus her ex is interested in you."

Emma looked over to Alex and sort of felt bad for him. Being dumped onto his grandparents because his family didn't care enough for him. He noticed her stare and smirked at her. She quickly turned away and said to Ashley, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why don't you like Jacob?"

"I've known him pretty much my whole life so I see him for what he really is. He is a pompous ass who likes to take advantage of people."

"Do you think he is taking advantage of me?" Emma asked curiously.

Ashley looked over to where Jacob was sitting. He was staring at Emma. She turned back to Emma and said, "Honestly I wouldn't put it past him, but I don't know. He might really like you."

The rest of the day seemed to drag on. When the final bell rang Emma was ready to go home. She got her books from her locker and walked out to the bus stop. While she was waiting a black Aston Martin Vanquish pulled up and rolled the window down. Inside was non other than Jacob Prescott. "Hey, do you wanna ride?"

Emma smiled. "I think James Bond wants his car back."

Jacob returned her smile and said, "No worries, he let me borrow it for the week. So how about that ride?"

"I live like 30 minutes away, I wouldn't want to waste your gas or time."

Still smiling he replied, "Hop in. I can't just leave you here to ride public transportation."

Emma gave in quickly. She jumped up from the bench and got in the front seat. "Nice ride."

The engine revved and they were on their way to Stars Hollow.

There will be more Jess and Rory next chapter, don't worry. :)

I finally picked a name for Tristan's son and want to thank Eleni13 for the idea:-)
