Chapter 2: Where is She?
Rory shoved her key into the lock and unlocked the door, flung the door open, dropped her keys on the cluttered table next to the door and slammed the door shut behind her. Loralei heard Rory's racket and anticipated a foul mooded Rory so she quickly made a fresh pot of the life giving elixher- coffee.
"MUM!!" Rory yelled in the general direction of the kitchen, "I need coffee NOW!!"
Rory dumped her bag on the kitchen dining table and went straight to the now hot and streamy fresh pot of coffee.
"I'm good thanx Rory, and how are you yourself?"
"Please Mum no jokes. I need coffee now."
"Uh-uh. I'm not gonna let you touch the coffee pot Rory." Loralei shook her finger in Rory's face in a very childish manner.
"What part of 'I need coffee NOW' do you not understand Mum." Protested an exasperated Rory.
"Alright Rory, what's wrong this time?"
"What do you mean what's wrong? There's nothing wrong except for the fact that I desperately need coffee and your denying me of it. So move out of the way and let me get a cup of coffee and if you don't then I'll just go to Luke's and get one there!"
"Roorry! We both know exactly what I mean. I'm your mother for crying out loud, so don't think that I don't know you very well."
"What's it gonna take to shut you up and score myself a cup of coffee?"
"For that you'd have to tell me what's wrong!"
"Fine."
"Wait, let me get comfy first. Sit down at the table Rory." Loralei pointed at a seat opposite her.
"Ok, spill the beans oh afflicted daughter of mine."
"It's Tirstan."
"Oh. You mean the evil-one?"
"Yeah. That's him."
"So what's he doing now?"
"He's acting like a total jerk. He's still calling me Mary and he acts like I'm in love with him and that I'm just too shy to admit it. He thinks that just because all the females whose hormones are still the major driving force of their lives, are totally wrapt up in him, that the rest of the school is as well!"
Rory flung her hands up in the air in dispair. She turned to her Mum expecting her to give some advice. Loralei opened her mouth. and then shut it again.
"What were you going to say Mum?"
"Nothing. I was just yawning."
"Yeah sure Mum." Rory raised a disbeleiving eyebrow at her Mum. "I'm your daughter your crying out loud," Rory imitated, "So don't think that I don't know you very well."
"Very funny Rory. Ha ha ha."
"Seriously Mum, just tell me."
"Fine but you aint gonna like it."
"Continue."
"From what you've told me and what I've observed, I've half come to the conclusion that you um, ah, love him." Loralei rushed the last part and closed her eyes, anticipating yelling to follow her comment. Slowly she inched one eye open, but Rory wasn't there. She'd gone, vanished.
"RORRYYY!!" Loralei yelled. "Rory???"
But nothing followed her callings, just a deadly silence.
"She must be in her room and probably wants to be on her own for a while."
So Loralei didn't bother to search any further.
************************6pm the same night*************************
"Rory!! The pizza's arrived!" Loralei called out.
But Rory didn't seem to want to join her Mum for dinner.
************************9pm the same night*************************
'Ding dong, ding dong'
"I'll get it!" Loralei called out.
She rushed down the stairs and opened the door to see Luke standing there holding a tray, containing 2 cups of coffee.
"Hi Luke! What's that you're holding.? You don't by any chance come bearing gifts of coffee do you by any chance?"
"Yes I do." Luke replied
Loralei let out a happy squeal and snatched the tray out of Luke's hands like a little kid. She breathed in through her nose, enjoying the delicous aromas.
"Mmmmm. coffee. You are a saint Luke."
"Um, actually Loralei, they're not for you. The coffee's for Rory and Jess."
And just as quickly as Loralei snatched the coffee off Luke, it was snatched back. Loralei's face fell.
"Why do they get coffee and not me? Out of intrest where is Jess anyway?"
"Jess's just getting his books outa the car. Rory's helping him with an assignment tonight so I thought they would like some coffee to accompany their studies."
"At 9pm?
"I know it's late but it's the weekend Loralei."
"If need be he's welcome to spend the night on the couch."]
"Thanx."
" What's taking him so long?"
"HURRY UP JESS! Don't keep us waiting any longer."
"I'm here, I'm here! Give me a chance to get here would ya?"
"Whatever." Luke grunted.
"So where's Rory?" Jess questioned.
"Oh, she's in the. Omg!"
"What?" Luke asked.
"I don't know where she is! I haven't seen her since this afternoon!"
So where is Rory???? Please review.
