One In A Million
Chapter 3
By Nichole
Lorelai and Max are in the Buckland Hills Mall walking past stores and talking.
"Where should we go for coffee?" He asked.
"Starbucks." Lorelai said spotting the coffee shop.
"Starbucks? Isn't their coffee a little strong for most people?"
"Yes, but I'm not most people."
Lorelai and Max sat at a table, inside Starbucks, talking.
"It looks like Rick and James aren't coming after all."
"Who?"
"Two guys that I met this morning. They said that they would come, just to make sure things don't go wrong."
"Very optimistic, aren't they?"
"Yeah."
"Hey Max!" Rick exclaimed as he entered the coffee shop, with James close behind.
"Over here!" Max shouted.
"So how's your evening going? Is it the date from hell?" James asked.
"No, I don't need a chaperone tonight."
"Ok." James said, pretending to pout.
Max sighed and said, "You guys can come."
"Thanks Max." Rick said.
Lorelai watching the whole scene, and trying to stifle a laugh says, "What movie do you guys want to see?"
"Lethal Weapon." Rick, James, and Max said.
"Looks like I'm outvoted."
"So, how come you two couldn't get dates?" He asked.
"They canceled on us at the last second. They said something about having to get their dogs neutered." Rick said.
Max, Lorelai, James, and Rick are sitting next to each other eating popcorn and drinking soda.
"How's the movie so far?" Max asked Lorelai.
"Violent and interesting." Lorelai replied.
"I think that it has sequel written all over. It's not often that you see crazy cops running around killing people."
Lorelai laughs.
Max and Lorelai stood outside her house talking.
"Thanks Max, I had a good time tonight." Lorelai said.
"I'm glad you did. Could we hang out again sometime?"
"I'd like that. Well, you'd better go before my parents want to interrogate you." Lorelai said.
As Lorelai made that remark, sure enough, Emily opened the door.
"Lorelai you know it's past curfew and- who's the young man that you have with you Lorelai?"
"Oh, mom this is my friend from school, Max Medina."
"It's nice to meet you ma'am. Now I see who Lorelai gets her beauty from." I said to Emily.
Emily giggled and said, "Thank you."
"Suck up." Lorelai whispered.
"So tell me about yourself Max."
"Ok."
Max began to talk about Chilton, my old life in New York, my parents, my older brother, and my new friends.
"Wow, interesting," Emily said. "How far do you live from here?"
"Not far. Maybe 5 minutes at the most." He replied.
"Maybe your parents and Richard and I could get together for dinner sometime."
"Ok. I'm sure they'd like that."
By Max's locker at Chilton the next day
Max is getting his books for his classes as Lorelai slowly walks up to him
"Hey," Lorelai said quietly.
"Hey." "I really had fun yesterday." Lorelai said with a smile.
"So I've heard."
"My mom really likes you. My mom has never liked anybody that I've hung out with. Well I'm not surprised, as my mom says, "He certainly is a charming young man."
They both laugh.
"The only other guy that my mom has liked besides you is Chris Hayden."
"The rich kid?"
Lorelai poked me playfully. "Hey watch it."
"Sorry. Is Chris a nice guy?"
"Yeah he's really nice. We've known each other since we were six years old."
The bell signaling the beginning of school rang.
"I have to go now. It's been nice talking to you Max. Maybe we could hang out again tonight."
"I'd like that." He said, "I'll choose the place next time ok?"
"Ok," Lorelai said as she started walking away.
