Part 2: Breathe in so deep.

Rory was hanging on to his hand as they ran towards the gym, the school was so expansive that it was taking them absolutely forever to actually get there and when she had to take a breathe Lucas glared at her. " You aren't the athletic type are you?"

" Oh, no. As soon as I get into my magical sweat pants and Nike shirt, I'm the most athletic person you will ever meet." Just then a realization hit her.

"Judging by the deer in the headlights look you are sporting, something is wrong." Lucas observed.

" I forgot to get my clothes from my locker." She stated hitting herself on her head. Lucas asked if that was it, and Rory was about to burst. "Is that it, I'm not going to get a participation grade and then the best I can get in the class is like an A-." Rory exasperated.

" Ror, I'll give you some clothes to wear and all will be fine."

Rory looked up at him with her big eyes beaming over with happiness. " I love you so much!" she said as she grabbed him and hugged him with such force for her small body.

" Not a biggy." Lucas insisted as they walked the rest of the way to the gym. He had a smile lingering on his face as he ran into the locker room and fetched his extra pair of gym clothes. Running out quickly after he changed into pair of blue shorts and gray t-shirt, he handed her the smaller sizes, which would still drape over and around her. " It is a medium, and the shorts are a universal small, so they should fit."

Rory gave him a quick hug and a kissed him on the check hurriedly before she ran into the girls locker room and changed as fast as she could. She ran out adorned in Lucas' black Nike shirt and matching black shorts tucked and folded up in a way that they did not look as if they were quite as big as they undoubtedly were upon her. "Do I look okay?" she asked as they made their way into the gym ten minutes late.

" Is it enough to say that I'm feeling a manly pride seeing you dressed up in my clothes?"

" It is enough if you say, that you feel a manly pride seeing me look wonderful in your clothes." Rory pointed out.

"That's what I said." Lucas insisted walking close to her as they entered the group that was gathered around Whitey.

" You're both late." Whitey pointed out.

" Yep" Lucas admitted as Rory cast her eyes towards the ground.

Whitey noticed his new student, and sighed as he told them not to be so again. He then split up the group into boys and girls as the girls went off with his teaching assistant and the boys followed him.

Rory gave Lucas a sadden look as she walked off with the rest of the girls and he went off with the lower classmen men.

" What is this, glorified cheerleading practice?" Rory complained as she was hoisted onto the shoulders of one of the girls.

" That would be what it looks like Miss Gilmore, and if you were here for the first ten minutes of class; you would have heard that today the boys are playing basketball and doing tryouts for it, as the girls try out for cheerleading." The TA told her in front of the whole class.

" Isn't that illegal to separate boys and girls and force them to do activities that are gender bias? " Rory questioned as she was flipped down and landed in a superior way to what others before her had done.

" Miss Gilmore, we are not forcing you. You always have the opportunity to sit out." And with that Rory was finished with her tryouts and with the conversation in whole. Sitting down on the blenchers with the other girls who were finished with their try outs she waited for the TA to give them the last ten minutes of class to change back into their uniforms and get ready for the next class.

" Were you out with that guy?" a girl asked Rory. Rory turned to her and saw a small blonde girl and a brunet who were both looking as if they were about to pounce unto her.

"And are you wearing cologne?" the brunet questioned.

Rory shrugged, "Yeah, Lucas let me barrow some clothes, so I guess they smell like him." Rory answered nonchalantly, but really was reeling from the experience of smelling the sweet and bitter smell that was the essence of Lucas.

"Are you two like, going out?"

" Or fucking?"

Rory turned the brightest color crimson she had ever been in her entire existence and looked at the large group, which had accumulated around them. " Oh, no. No." She assured them adamantly.

"Yeah sure, She is so boinking out his brains." The brunet blatantly put it as she stared down Rory.

" Now Madeline, he's an upper classmen they do not use the word 'boink' they use a word like…" the Blonde seemed to rack her brain for a second as Rory stood quietly. " They use a word like, intercourse with plain old sex in front of it."

" So, a Magdalene." The girls said and turned away from her.

" Who was the chick Scott?" a guy asked as they blocked each other and ran around with Lucas try to get free.

" Rory?" Lucas questioned.

" The one who you walk in with?"

" The one wearing your clothes." Said his teammate who did a lay up next to him.

After getting the rebound and walking around them dribbling the ball and going for his own lay up (it being his turn in the drill.) " Oh, that is Rory, she's a friend of Hailey's."

" The supposed best friend Hailey? Are you two timing her, now?"

" Neither are anything other then friends." Lucas said getting back into position.

" But on a daily basis you must spend a lot of time in the janitors closet with your friends." One of the boys hinted.

" You know what? " Lucas questioned with blue furry in his eyes. " This conversation is over."

The boys shrugged and got back to the game. " Whatever Scott."

Now on to part three, and remember. " My mommy always told me, if you can't say something nice do not say anything at all." So, if you are like one reviewer (hint, hint) and do not like my writing do not read it. Oh, and if you don't like one of the two shows, do not read the story when it says bluntly " One tree Hill and Gilmore girls crossover." Is it brain surgery to figure that one out?
