Jess watched as she walked toward the diner. Luke glanced up as Rory
and Lorelai entered the diner. Luke noticed how Jess and Rory looked at
each other when Rory sat down. He began to wonder if Lorelai knew what was
going on. It seemed that Rory spend less time with Dean and more with Jess.
Ms. Patty suddenly entered the diner and sat down near Rory and Lorelai,
close enough to hear but not too close to be suspicious looking.
"Luke, coffee!" Lorelai shouted.
Jess suddenly dashed over and began pouring coffee for them. Luke was very suspicious. Jess had almost never worked in the diner before and now, he was there all the time, especially in the mornings.
"Luke, give me one of those huge muffins. Do you have any chocolate ones?" Ms. Patty shouted.
As Luke brought Ms. Patty a chocolate muffin, he saw Jess and Rory chatting away. Lorelai was walking back to the diner but had yet to notice what was going on inside. Just then, Rory turned to look out the window and noticed her mom quickly approaching them.
"Jess, my mom is coming", whispered Rory.
"So do you understand the War of 1812 now?" said Rory as her mom walked over to their table.
"Yeah, thanks", said Jess sarcastically as he got out of Lorelai's chair.
"So where did you go?" Rory asked as her mom sat down.
"I went to buy the newspaper from the Market".
"Oh. I was just helping Jess with his history homework", said Rory.
"Oh, is that why you've been spending a lot of time with him?"
Rory was staring off into space, looking in the direction of Jess following his every move with her eyes. This didn't seem like just helping him with his homework to Lorelai. Something was going on that she didn't like. She just have to wait for Rory to tell her but a little prodding wouldn't help, she thought.
"Rory, earth to Rory", said Lorelai, waving her hand in front of Rory's face but with no response.
Suddenly a few seconds later, Rory responded.
"Oh, look. I need to go. It's almost time for you to go too. See you later. Have a nice day at school, Rory", Lorelai said as she dragged Rory out of the diner, still clutching her coffee.
"Mom, what was that?" Rory asked.
"What is going on with you and Jess?"
"I was helping him with his history homework. We're friends. That's it!" Rory said, lying.
She wished she could tell her mom the truth but then suddenly out of nowhere, Tristan appeared whizzing past them on his way to the diner.
"Sorry, Rory. Late for work! Talk to you later. Drop by the diner after school. I'll be there", shouted Tristan as he ran by.
"Wait, what is he doing here?" asked Lorelai shocked.
"Mom, I'll explain later. I have to go to school. Bye", said Rory as she began to walk towards her bus stop.
"Luke, coffee!" Lorelai shouted.
Jess suddenly dashed over and began pouring coffee for them. Luke was very suspicious. Jess had almost never worked in the diner before and now, he was there all the time, especially in the mornings.
