A week later Rory and Jess and Lorelei were sitting on the couch watching an old movie. Rory and Lorelei were reciting all the words while Jess looked at them like they were strange. Lorelei was especially enjoying herself, very happy to have "normal" Rory back. Jess rolled his eyes at the pair and said, "I'm gonna get a soda." The girls nodded and the phone rang. Then it rang again. Lorelei, "He was up, wasn't he Rory." "Yep, definitely up. You have to get it." Jess walked over and answered the phone. "Hello?" "What are you doing there?" came the unmistakable voice of Dean. "Uh… I'm hanging out with Rory, you know, my girlfriend. What are you doing calling?" Dean sighed, "I've been worried about Rory ever since she called me from that hotel you left her at." Jess was like "I don't know what you're talking about, but seeing as you're only making an absolute idiot out of yourself, I'm going to go." He hung up. As he walked into the room Rory tore her eyes of the screen to ask, "who was it?" "Tele-marketer." "Ugh," said Rory, "do those people EVER quit?"
The next day Rory walked into Chilton. Some people gave her the cold stares that had grown old and boring after 2 months. Paris walked up to her and said, "the newspaper meets at 6." Rory, "why not after school?" "Listen Rory, you're lucky you're still on the newspaper staff. We'll leave it for good students and people to decide the times." Paris walked off and Rory heard a voice behind her go, "what crawled up her ass and died there?" Rory turned around and saw… him. "What are you doing here?" Brent smirked, "I'm a student, just enrolled." Rory said, "You don't have the money or the academic.." Brent stopped her, "Straight A student, and my daddy has money coming out of his ears." Rory frowned, "you live in New York. Why come here?" Brent smiled, "To be with my girlfriend, of course." Rory said, "and who would that be?" Brent put his arm around her waist, "you." Rory frowned and walked away. She made it to Health class barely on time, just as her teacher was introducing Brent to the class. He said, "You take a seat next to Miss Gilmore, she'd be happy to get you started I'm sure. You made it to Chilton just in time for our Sex unit… Today we'll be talking about date rape. Rory grimaced. The movie started, and a girl named "Jane," the name had of course been changed started talking about how she had been raped at a party because she was drunk. She kept repeating, "It wasn't okay. It was wrong. It was still rape." Suddenly Rory became very dizzy, She raised her hand and said, "Mr. Robertson, I need to use the restroom." When she made it their she leaned against the wall and just started to cry and cry. She briefly considered calling up her mother and telling her everything, and getting her away from Brent, but she didn't want Jess to know, he felt guilty enough already, and he told her that her virginity was one of his favorite qualities about her. Would he still like her if he knew what she had done when she should have been with him? She looked at her reflection in the mirror, and shut her eyes. Then she felt somebody slide their arms around her waist, it was Brent. "I said stay away from me. I hate you," she said, still crying. He didn't say a word, he just covered her mouth with his and wrapped her in a passionate kiss. She hated him, it was true, but somehow she felt herself kissing back. He locked the door to the girls bathroom, and slowly unbuttoned her sweater. She didn't even think about what she was doing, but she just did it. This time it was willingly, and they had sex on the bathroom floor. They walked out into the hall, she was still crying, and what she had just done had not yet sunk in. The headmaster stopped them in the hall. "Rory, I expected more of you. And you sir, will find that this is not the conduct we permit at Chilton. Ditching class is not permitted. You will both serve a week of detention.
Rory walked away to her locker to get her books for the next class and Brent stood by himself happily. A whole week of detention with just him and Rory Gilmore. Life was good.
