Jess frowned as he gazed out the window in his classroom. It was a snowy day and he was stuck in school. He should've skipped before school started. He glanced at the clock. Those ten minutes seemed to be taking hours. He tapped his pen on his desk and looked over at Lane and Dean who where both studying and writing down notes. The chumps! Why would anyone NEED to take notes in English class? It wasn't like they didn't already know everything.
He looked at the clock again. Three... two... one... RING!! The bell rang and Jess jumped out of his chair. It was about time! He shoved everything back into his bag and walked out of the class. He walked to his locker and opened it up. He pulled things out of his bag and put them in his locker. He shut his locker with a bang and turned to find Lane standing there.
"Oh, shit!" Jess said in surprise. "Lane! Did you NEED to do that?"
Lane smiled and crossed her arms. "Why, yes, I do." She said. "Look, Jess, I wanted to ask you if I could barrow one of your books." Jess raised an eyebrow.
"Rory has every book I have," He said, starting to walk down the hall. Lane was right on his heels.
"Not our science book," Lane said. Jess looked at her.
"Don't you have a science book?" He asked.
"I lost it." Lane said, looking at her feet.
Jess sighed and tossed Lane his book from his bag. "I need it back before Monday, I have to study for the test." He began to walk off again. Lane called tanks after him but he only waved to her without turning around.
Jess walked outside and pulled out a book. He walked down the stairs of the school, and that was when he heard it. A bunch of kids were yelling "FIGHT, FIGHT" and at once Jess turned to see what was going on. He saw a group of people gathered around. Jess smiled, he needed a good fight right now.
He made his was to the front of the crowd and smiled when he saw the two people fighting. It was Jared Roy fighting some new girl Jess had not seen before.
"Come on, jerk-off, I can take you!" The girl spat, putting up her fists.
"You little bitch, I'll kick your butt!" Jared flew a punch at the girl's head. She ducked and hit him in the jaw, sending him flying to the snow covered ground. He got up and ran towered her. She threw a punch and hit him in the face. He growled and got up to try and get her again...
That's when Mr. Hero himself came in. Dean ran out and grabbed the new girl, putting his arms under her armpits and holding her down. "Easy, there," Dean said. "Let's not start a fight."
"Stay out of this!" The girl snapped, trying to break free of Dean's hold. "This has nothing to do with you, let me at him!"
Jess thought he'd play this game, too. He walked over to Dean. "Come on, man, just let them fight it out." Jess said. Dead glared at him.
"Yeah, Dean, I can take that little girl!" Jared said, with a slight smirk.
"YOU ARE SO DEAD!" The girl yelled and tried again to get loss. "I'm not letting you get away with this you bastard! You here me? I'll hurt you so bad it won't even be funny!" She wiggled and tried hard to get out of the hold she was in.
"Yeah, Dean, let her go," Jess said, almost laughing, "I'll tell you want, pretty miss," he walked next to the new girl, "I'll play tag team with you and fight Roy here."
"No way, Jess!" Dean almost yelled. "You are not getting mixed up in this!"
"Go for it." The new girl said. "Goodie two-shoes here can't hold both of us off." Jess smiled and went at Jared. He sent a punch right in Jared's face, making his noise bleed. Dean let go of the girl and ran towered Jess, getting him in the same hold as he had just had the girl in. She at once lunged at Jared, sending him to the ground. She began to send punch after punch at him. Dean let go of Jess and ran towered the girl. Jared got up and ran away as fast as he could. Dean stood there watching as Jess and the girl call after Jared.
"COME BACK HERE YOU CHICKEN!" "YEAH, WHAT'S THE MATER? AFRAID YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT?" "I'll get you next time you son of a bitch!"
Jess and the girl broke into fits of laughter as they watched him run away. The both fell to the ground trying hard to stop laughing. Dean stood there and shook his head. At last the stopped laughing and stood up.
"I'm Jess," He said, still laughing a little.
"Katie," The girl said, "That was quite a fight, huh, Jess?"
"Damn right." Jess said. "I haven't had a good fight in so long. It feels pretty good."
"You two are so crazy!" Dean snapped. "You could have been hurt or something! Why do you always get into fights, Jess?"
"Hey, I'm almost never the one who starts them!" Jess snapped back. "I was just helping out Katie here."
"Yeah, well, next time, just stay out of it!"
"You should talk!" Katie spat. "You tried to stop it and therefore made Jess come to help. It's the hero factor; a boy sees a women in grave danger," Jess started to laugh again, "and therefore he must jump in to help her. Jess's Hero since kicked in just like yours did, only his was to help me by beating up Roy over there!"
Jess now laughed out load. This girl was great! The look on Dean's face wasn't half-bad either! He looked like someone had just told him his puppy died. Jess had to lean on a tree to keep from falling to the ground. Dean glared at him and Katie smiled.
"See, Jess is fun! He knows how to have a good time... unlike you who seems to only know that "fighting is bad", well I don't think it is... and when someone calls you a bitch, well, then you have to beat them to a bloody pulp." Katie smiled. "So why don't you go find some Green-Peace or save the frogs thing to "Help others out" and let me deal with my own life?"
Dean looked from Katie to Jess and then back to Katie again. "Whatever!" He said and walked away. Katie turned to Jess and smiled. He smiled at her. It was the first time where he had really noticed what she looked like. She had long black hair, some of which was died red, and bright blue eyes. She was dressed in a pair of jeans and a long sleeved black T-shirt.
"So, you are new in town, huh, Katie?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, and so fare it looks like this town REALLY gets into the holidays." She looked around at the lights and snowmen and other Christmas things. Jess nodded.
"Yeah, well, Stars Hallow is VERY dull, so they get into the holidays to make up for that."
"I don't mind it as much as if it where like... Valentines Day... wait... what DO they do for V Day?" Katie raised an eyebrow. Jess kind of laughed as he remembered his first Valentines Day. "I don't want to know do I?" Katie asked. Jess shook his head. Katie laughed and looked at the snow. She saw a book lying next to the tree and picked it up. "It this yours?" She asked, flipping threw it.
"O, yeah," Jess remembered he no longer had it in his pocket. "Thanks..." He reached to grab it but Katie pulled it away. She smirked and looked over the pages.
"The Red Badge of Courage huh?" Katie smiled up at him. "This is a god book, I've read it like... 15 times!" She smiled as she looked at his note written in the book. "And you write in it too." She smiled at Jess and shook her head. "I thought no one was going to be the only one in this place you liked REAL books."
"Yeah, well, there is only about three of us with you here." Jess smiled as Katie handed him back his book. "So what brings you to Stars Hallow," Jess asked as they began to walk away from the school without really knowing where they where heading.
"Well, I'm here to make sure I don't start anymore fights." Katie laughed, "Show's how well THAT worked, huh?" Jess laughed, too. "My dad dragged me here from Phoenix to keep me in check. I always liked Christmas time because I used to get to spend it with my mom."
"Why can't you anymore?" Jess asked.
"Well, mom and dad broke up when I was about five and my dad got me, my mom got my older brother." By now that had come to the bridge. "So every Christmas, me and my brother would change, I'd go see mom, and he would see dad. But, Tory, my brother, he wanted to go to a privet school on London and mom couldn't bare to be without him so--"
"--They moved to London, right?"
"Yeah, and neither mom nor dad has the money to send two kids from and to London each year, so I'm stuck with my dad until next year." Jess nodded. "So what about you? Why are you stuck here?"
"My mom didn't want me and my dad is off doing who knows what. So mom shipped me off to live with my Uncle Luke, who owns a diner here. To tell you the truth, I like it here. New York is cool and all, but it's quite here. There's nothing better to do then sit and read so I get a lot of reading done." Katie laughed.
"You know Jess, I bet your girlfriend really likes you."
Jess looked at Katie with a raised eyebrow. "What makes you think I have a girlfriend?" He asked.
"Well, you said that there where only three people here who likes to read, so I thought you where surly dating the other one." Katie shrugged. "It just made since to me."
"Well, I'm not dating the other person," Jess looked at his feet, "I am dating someone... but I really could care less about her."
"Gee, you sure are a hopeless romantic, aren't you?" Katie rolled her eyes.
"Well, it's not like she is anything like me. Shane is just there to make out with me."
"Ah I see," Katie walked ahead of Jess and turned to face him. "It's one of those things where you like a girl, but she a boyfriend so you have someone as a back up, right?"
"How could you know that?" Jess asked.
"Because I've had like... ten boyfriends like that. I didn't love them.. heck, I hated half of those bastards. But I was with them because I couldn't have the guy I wanted. I can never have the ones I want." She looked at her feet again.
"Well, I can put in a good word with a few of the guys for you." Jess said as they started to walk again. "Just tell me what kind of guy you want."
"Well, he has t be sweet, and good looking, and like rock music and punk music and jazz and blues, and heavy metal. And he has to hate boy bands and that kind of junk. And he has to like to read and has to like old movies like Gone With the Wind,"
"Great movie," Jess added in.
"Isn't it though?" Katie nodded. "And he needs to not be all "I'll save you" all the fucking time. And he needs to have a since of humor." She looked up at the cloudy sky.
"Well, there are no guys who fit that list here..." Jess said even though it wasn't true. He liked and disliked all the things on the list. But he wasn't about to say that.
Katie sighed. "O well, I'll just have to keep looking." They where now outside Luke's. Jess looked at Katie.
"This is where I get off." E said, pointing towered the door. Katie nodded.
"You want to hang out later or something?" Kate asked. "Like, go to the book store or something like that?" Jess smiled.
"I'd love to." He said.
"Great!" She grabbed his hand and wrote down a phone number. "Give me a call when you feel like doing something." She winked as she walked away. "And I want to here all about New York one of these days."
"Only if you tell me about Phoenix." Jess called back.
"I'll think about it!" Katie called. Jess shook his head and walked into the diner. Luke looked up from the counter.
"Hey, who was that?" Luke asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Katie," Jess said, heading for the stairs, "She's the new girl."
"Looked like you two where becoming fast friends." Luke said, offhandedly.
"Yeah... I guess we are..." Jess smiled as he looked down at Katie's phone number. "I guess we are..."
