~*~*~*~Chapter 2*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up the next morning with an unbelievably horrible headache. After ten minutes of trying to figure out where it came from I reached the conclusion that it was from all of the studying that I had done the night before. The teachers at Chilton love to give pop quizes the first week of school so this year I figured that I better study for them. I grabbed my uniform and headed for the shower.
After my shower I got dressed and walked to the living room to find mom standing at the door tapping her foot and trying to look annoyed.
"Okay. I'm coming," I grabbed all of my stuff and followed her out the door.
We were to Luke's in no time at all. Before I could open the door of the Diner my bestfriend, Lane just about knocked me over. She grabbed my shoulders with both hands and attempted to catch her breath.
Mom was glaring at me, "I'll meet you inside." She waisted no time plowing into the Diner.
Lane was bent over infront of me with one hand on my shoulder and one hand on her chest. "What? What is it?" I asked her.
"Yesterday," She couldn't get out a full sentence before she gasped for a breath of air.
"What about yesterday?"
She stood there for a second and let herself catch her breath completely before she attempted to speak again.
"Yesterday. At School. There was this new girl. Her name is Marrisa Debou."
"And?"
"She is in my history class. Dean is in my history class too."
"What does any of this have to do with anything?"
"Well, she dropped her pencil and Dean went to pick it up and they hit their heads together. You know how the story goes."
"I still don't get it."
"He said hi. She said hi. They made a date for Saterday!"
"So?"
"So?! You don't even care that your ex-boyfriend is going to go out with another girl? On a date?"
"Why shouldn't he? I have a boyfriend. I think it is nice that he is dating again."
Lane looked at me with a shocking expression. "I do not believe that you are not even a little upset about this."
"Lane, we have been broken up for almost two months. It's really not a big deal." I was a bit curious about this girl. Could Dean really find someone so quickly after we broke up? It was different with me. I already had Jess, but Dean didn't have anyone. Deep down inside I think I was a little hurt, but as much as I wanted to feel bad about the situation I couldn't. I really was glad that Dean was starting to date again. At least I know that I didn't ruin his life forever.
"Fine," Lane interuppted my thoughts. "I have been waiting all night to tell you this and you are not even the least bit phased. I see what good all of my spying and eavesdropping does! No good at all!"
"Calm down. I am very greatful that you took time out of your leaning to eavesdrop on Dean."
"Thank you. Now, I have to get back to the house. Mom thinks that I am ironing my clothes for school."
"Okay Lane. Bye." I hugged my bestfriend and she ran home. Glad that that was finally over I went into the diner and joined my mom at a table.
"So, what news did Lane have today?" My mother chuckled.
"She was spying on Dean yesterday and over heard that he is going on a date with this new girl at Star's Hollow High," I replied.
"Oh. Are you okay with that?"
"Why does everyone seem to think that it would be a really big deal to me? It isn't my decision wheather or not Dean starts dating again. He is his own person and he has his own life just like I do."
"You did spend a big part of your life with him."
"Yes I did. Now I have moved on and he is too."
"Okay. End of discussion."
"Okay."
"Can we get some service over here?" Mother shouted acrossed the diner.
"Diner's closed today." We heard Luke's voice coming from the storage room
"That's funny. I thought the sign out front said Open."
"Nope. It says closed."
"How do you explain all of these other people?"
"Family reunion."
"You're related to Kirk? Wow, who would of thought?"
Luke brought two cups of coffee to our table.
"Can I have mine to go? I am kind of running late," I asked Luke.
"Yeah."
I followed Luke to the counter, "Where is Jess?"
"He said he was going to school early. I don't buy that for a minute."
"Hmmm," Luke handed me the styro-foam cup, "Thanks. See you tomorrow."
I walked back home and then made my way to Chilton. When I got inside the school I found Tristan standing up against my locker. "Move please," I politely asked.
"Not untill you agree to go out with me," He gave me one of his most charming smiles.
"I have a boyfriend. Even if I didn't I still wouldn't go out with you."
"That hurts," he placed his hand on his heart.
"Why don't you go bother someone who will actually go out with you?"
"Because I don't want to go out with just anyone. I want to go out with you."
"Why do you insist on tormenting me?"
"Is that what I'm doing? I was only asking you out."
"Yes. You keep asking me out and you keep getting the same simple No so why do you even bother? Do you like getting turned down?"
"I know someday that you will go out with me. Who could resist my charm?" He smiled at me once more and then walked away.
My day was going pretty good untill Advanced Chemistry. I walked in the door and found Tristan sitting at my lab. "What are you doing here?" I tilted my head when asked him.
"I'm taking this class." He stood up to offer me his chair.
I ignored the gesture, "How did you manage to get into this class?"
"I have my ways."
"Would everyone please take their seats?" Our new Chemistry teacher, Mr. Strode, asked us. Everyone sat down and I was forced to take the seat next to Tristan.
"Now," my teacher went on. "I am going to pair you up into groups of two for your first class assignment. The groups are as follows: Paris Geller and Danielle Gouque, Randy Blanch and Isabelle Winster, Rory Gilmore and Tristan DuGrey."
I got a pain in the pit of my stomach. The list went on, but I failed to hear it. How did I know that I would get paired up with him? This was going to be one heck of an assignment. I hoped that it wasn't anything too big because I really didn't want to spend my time being hit on by Tristan.
"Looks like we are going to be working together," Tristan smiled at me while raising his eyebrows.
"Looks like it," I wanted to break down and cry. He made ME his mission in life and I was starting to get annoyed. Mr. Strode began to announce the project and put my feeling sorry for myself on hold.
