BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! SLAM!
Rory groaned and rolled over and looked at her alarm clock. It read "6:45"
in bright red letters. She stumbled out of her bed and into the shower. She
got out of the shower, and into her bathrobe and went upstairs to wake up her
mom.
"Mom, get up." She said, shaking her shoulders.
"I don't wanna." Lorelai mumbled.
"Come on, don't you want Luke's fabulous coffee?" Rory said, teasingly.
"If I get up that means you have to go to your second day at Chilton."
Lorelai retorted.
"So, I'm gonna have to face it sooner or later, now get up or I'm leaving
you."
Rory left the room and slipped on her uniform. She was walking into the
kitchen, while putting her hair in a pony tail when she saw her mom coming
down the stairs, already dressed and with coffee in her hand.
"How did you- weren't you just- and now your..." Rory stammered.
"You know what, I don't really wanna know." Rory said after getting over the
shock that her mom got dressed that fast AND had time to make coffee.
"You're right you don't. Now chop chop! The coffee doesn't wait for us you
know." Lorelai said, shoving Rory out of the house so fast she barely had
time to get her book bag.

Rory got out of the jeep and looked at the magnificent building before her.
"Have fun sweetie." Lorelai called, pulling out of the Chilton parking lot.
Rory grumbled "yeah right" and adjusted her backpack and made her way into
the school.
She was at her locker when a group of boys went by sending catcalls and
yelling things like. "Look at that Mary!" Rory rolled her eyes and was about
to give those boys a piece of her mind when she caught one of the boy's eyes.
Tristan.
"I bet you couldn't nail her in a week DuGrey." One of them challenged. Rory
shook her head in disgust, she couldn't believe that she actually liked him.
"Yeah, I probably couldn't." Tristan said, uncomfortably and gave a nervous
smile to Rory. Rory just glared at him and slammed her locker, harder then
she intended to. She started walking down the hall when a boy said.
"You want fries with that shake!" Rory had to laugh. She turned around and
said.
"Could you get any cheesier?" With that, she went to her first period, which
was English with Mr. Medina, and pulled out "The Fountainhead" until the
bell rang.

Rory sat down at lunch and put on her headphones and pulled out a book. She
sat there in peace until a lunch tray slammed down in front of her. She
looked up to see a hopeful Tristan smiling back down at her.
"Hey" he mouthed. Well, actually he said but Rory couldn't hear him. He
started moving his lips and Rory just sat there, nodding every once in a
while. Suddenly he snatched off her headphones.
"Hey! I could hear you." Rory protested.
"No you couldn't, I just said that I hate coffee don't you? And you nodded."
"Oh." Rory silently fumed. This boy thought of everything.
"Well I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about the way I treated
you."
"Been there, done that." Rory said, rolling her eyes.
"I want to make it up to you."
"How by, 'nailing' me as your friend so quaintly put it?"
Tristan turned a bit pink in the cheeks but quickly recovered.
"No, by taking you out for coffee sometime, maybe a movie before that."
"Like a date?"
"Yeah"
"How do I know that I can trust you?" Rory eyed him warily.
"Just follow your heart."
"Okay." Rory took out a notebook and scrawled her number on a piece of paper.
"Here, call me later for the details." Rory said, handing him the paper.
"I will." Tristan got up to leave, but Rory stopped him.
"Tristan?'
"yeah"
"Don't screw this up." Rory said. Tristan smirked, then winked at her and
went back to his friends. Rory sighed and put back on her headphones.

Rory got off of the bus, which she had to take because her mom was unable to
pick her up, and she saw a boy sitting at the bench. He was tall and was sort
of cute, she had known him from somewhere. He looked up as she stepped off
the bus.
"Um, hey." he said.
"Hey. I'm sorry, but do I know you." Rory was racking her memory trying to
think where she had seen this boy before.
"Oh, um no you don't. We used to go to school together, that is before you
transferred." He said.
"How do you know I switched schools?" This boy was starting to creep Rory
out.
"Lane." was his simple reply. Rory nodded and started walking towards
Luke's. She stopped when she noticed the boy was walking with her.
"Can I help you?" Rory asked.
"Um, well yeah sorta. I was wondering if you would like to go out sometime?"
Rory smiled slightly. She went from having no experience with boys, to having
two boys wanting to date her.
"Well, I don't date strangers." Rory teased.
The boy smacked his palm to his head, then stuck out his hand.
"I'm sorry. My name is Dean Forester." Rory clasped his hand in hers. She
looked up and smiled.
"Rory Gilmore." He caught her eye and he winked.
"I know." he said. Rory looked a little confused.
" I gotta go. I'm looking for a job." he said, walking away.
"Try Miss Patty. She knows where all the good jobs are." Rory shouted at his
retreating figure. He turned around.
"Thanks. Goodbye Lorelai Gilmore."
Rory smiled to herself as she continued her walk to Luke's. This was going to
be one interesting sophomore year.
A/N: I'm sorry okay! I don't like Dean either, but I had to stick him in
here somehow. Just think how this will add the drama to her situation
hmmm......
