OK, so I've been studiously ignoring the tip about Jess having a girlfriend when Rory gets back from Washington, but
this is my attempt to deal with it.
Summary: Jess attends summerschool and meets someone interesting.
Jess watched Rory and Lorelai from about a block away. So she really was going to Washington without saying
anything to him about their kiss. She was still with Dean. He shoved his hands in his pockets and shook his head. Oh
well, everyone would just give him grief if he tried to date her anyway. He wasn't good enough for the town princess.
He went into the diner and walked behind the counter, noticing that they were low on coffee and getting ready to make
another pot.
"Hey Jess," Luke commented. "You got information from school upstairs about summer-school. Are you definitely
going to take both trig and history? You've got to do at least the history if you want to graduate with your class."
"I know. I'm going to do both. I'll mess with the paperwork tonight; thanks."

two weeks later...
Jess slouched in his desk, reading. He heard shuffling and looked up, right at an attractive, slender and and very
feminine rear end apparently preparing to sit in the desk in front of him. He smirked, ogling appreciatively, when
the girl suddenly turned around and caught him.
"What are you looking at?" She put her hands in her back pockets and fixed him with a sarcastic glare.
"Well, I was looking at your ass, until you turned around and deprived me of the opportunity." He eyed her low-slung
black jeans and olive top appreciatively. "The front's pretty nice too, but you could turn around and let me
compare..."
"Do I get to see yours?" The girl smirked back at him. "I mean, it's only fair. You've been sitting the whole time
I've been here."
"Well, I dunno," Jess put on a contemplative face. "I don't even know you."
"Figures." The girl rolled her eyes and shot him a fake smile. "Sorry. You'll just have to pay attention; maybe
you can catch a glimpse of my gorgeous butt when I leave the room." She slid into her desk.
"Ooh ooh, there it was, just for a second. A glimpse, a fleeting glimpse. Be still my heart!" He made exaggerated
heart-attack gestures and the girl turned around, putting her arms on his desk and eyeing him sardonically.
"Are you going to be a jerk all summer or could we just get it out of the way this morning? I'd like to know now
so I can decide whether sitting next to the windows is worth putting up with you."
Jess finally laughed, looking apologetic, and shot her a genuine smile. "I promise not to be a jerk anymore. But
you have to tell me your name. I know you were in my trig class, but you always left in a hurry, so we never
really met."
"I'm Maggie. I go a half day at the arts high school in Hartford in the afternoons, so I only took morning
classes here in Stars Hollow. I had to leave trig to catch the bus."
"I'm Jess."
"I know who you are. You came after the start of the year so everyone knew who you were. And you stole the
baseballs."
"Slander! That was so not me." He raised his hands and looked heavenward. "How long do I have to protest
about this?"
Maggie chuckled. "Whatever you say Mariano." She pointed to his book. "Guess you didn't flunk English, huh?"
"No, it's 'bout my only good subject. You?"
"I suck at English, but I passed. Math's just hopeless, and I'm taking history 'cause I couldn't work it
into my schedule last year."
"Well, gosh, what luck; you're in both my classes."
"Oh goody, we can study together."
Jess stopped being sarcastic and shot her a warm look. "The possibilities are endless."
At that moment, the teacher came into the room, so Maggie turned around and class began.
