Sorry it took so long to get this next chapter up. I just finished my first two stories and started another one, so I've been busy. I won't hold you up any further.

Chapter 5:
Kasey sighed with relief. Glad her unpacking was complete. The stress of knowing Max was here did little to ease her mind. Normally, she was a laid-back person and didn't get riled up too often. However, Max seemed to find a way of getting under her skin.
She looked over at Rory and smiled. Already on the phone with her mother. It was obvious they were very close and Lorelai had amused her this morning. Even that grouchy guy Luke had amused her. It seemed as if Rory's life was never boring. Lucky for her.
It was like her life was boring, no far from, but it was such a dramatic sopa opera most of the time. Rory's seemed fun and quirky, not a lot of the drama Kasey had to put up with.
Her father was a workaholic, ever since her Mom died when she had been five. Brian had been seven. Brian had gone to every soccer game, every horse show, every everything. Brian had been her rock through those hard years when a girl really needed her mother. It was their uncle, Robert Quinnston, who had practically raised them. They had spent more time at his house than their own.
To keep herself occupied. Kasey had gone out for Cheerleading in middle school. She had enjoyed it. Yet, there was always that pang in her heart when the other girl's mothers were waiting for them and she walked home. It was in middle school that she met Christopher Watsen. He'd become the star football player and her boyfriend, but his mother had taken pity on her and provided her with the comfort only another woman could offer.
Soon the world of cheerleading lost its appeal and she had dropped out to hang with Andy and Amy. It wasn't too long after that she broke up with Chris. Then Max had moved into town. He had taken her completely by surprise.
Max Knightly, the new boy with intense electric green eyes. The boy with hair so dark it was almost black. The boy with the love of books and movies. The obsessor of the the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and the movies. The shy boy who was just able to stutter out his request for a date, that was, until stacey March had offered him popularity and he took it.
It shouldn't have hurt so much. She shouldn't have been so brokenhearted. They had never even gone out on their date. His jerkiness shouldn't have reduced her to tears. She shouldn't have moped for months, but she did. Losing Chris to Stacey should have gotten that reaction out of her, but it hadn't. She had barely reacted at all.
She shouldn't have loved Max, but she did. And god help her, deep down, she still did. God, she was so stupid, Max was a jerk and he didn't care about her anyways. All he could do when he was around her was insult her and that drove her nuts. He didn't deserve her thoughts, but that didn't stop her from thinking about him, nope, it just made her think about him more.
She needed out and she knew just where to go to get him off her mind, The Fountian. It was the local club, they let let anyone in, but you still needed id to get alchohol.
"Hey Rory!" Kasey called, grabbing her denim jacket. It had once been her ex-boyfriend, Kevin's. "I'm going out to the local club, wanna come?"
She shook her head no, typical. Rory didn't seem like the dancing type anyways. "Okay, tell Andy I'm at the Club if her comes searching." Kasey made her way for the door. Rory waved her off and Kasey left the dorm room.
They had gotten their other two suitemates. A really creepy girl named Paris Gellar, who apparently knew rory and was pissed because Kasey got to be her roomate and then there was a shy girl named Mara Jones. Kasey liked Mara already, she was intelligent and once she opened up she could hold a conversation. Kasey and Rory were slowly working on her.
The Fountian was a solid brick building and you already hear the music from inside. There was a DJ tonight, so the music would just keep on coming. Which is exactly what Kasey wanted. She slipped her jacket off at the door and entered the already packed club. She couldn't help but smile. She used to come here all the time, with her crew, Andy, Amy, Ashley, Brian and Chris.
P.Diddy, Nelly and (I can't remember his name right now, can someone tell me!) "Shake ya tailfeather" came on over the speakers. Kasey moved onto the dance floor, letting the beat carry her, as she moved erotically with the beat. She didn't even noticed the pair of intense green eyes watching her every movement. (haha, guess who?)

Max stood in the shadowed corner, watching Kasey dance. Her golden brown hair fell gently into her face and she gently pushed it back. She swung her hips with the song and it didn't take long for another guy to notice. He moved in behind her, grasping her hips. She ground into him for a moment, before pulling away and continuing to dance by herself. More guys tried to get in on the action and they each got like two seconds before she'd pull away.
Max ground his tightly clenched teeth. He seethed in jealousy. Although he hid it well, he never lost the torch he carried for the spunky ex-cheerleader. She was different. She could act childish and mature at the same time and manage to be utterly adorable. He loved the way her eyes lit up every time she laughed.
Yes, he did regret the decision he made. Stacey was a bitch and he had been shallow enough to choose popularity over Kasey, causing him to lose her in the process. He had been a jerk to cover up his true feelings and soon it had become a habit. He had gotten the popularity he wanted, but he had been miserable with it. He was a great actor because no one knew.
He had nearly taken Kevin's head off the first time he had caught him kissing her. Every time he saw them together his blood would boil and jealously threatened to take over his actions. He was to bite his tongue during prom, when they were dancing and she had whispered 'I love you' in his ear. It took everything in him to keep still.
Seeing her in the dormroom today nearly made his heart stop. He had thought he'd never see her again and she bounded into the room like a right little ball of sunshine. Once his shock had worn off it was too easy for the jerk to come out again. She in turn had gotten pissed and been dragged out the room by her suite mate, before she took him out.
Max looked back up at Kasey and frowned. Some guy couldn't seem to take a hint. She was trying to pull away from him, but he kept coming. He clenched his jaw again and made his way to the dance floor.
"Come on, Baby, it's just one dance?" The guy leered, while she struggled to pull free of his grasp
"No thank you!" She said forcefully, shoving agianst his chest.
"You seem to have no problem dancing, why not with me?" He persisted. Max's jaw tightened even more.
"I believe she said no thank you." Max snapped just behind the guy.
Startled he spun around to face Max, while Kasey's eyes widened in shock before narrowing into a glare. "I see this as no business of yours." The guy slurred drunkenly. Max could smell the alchohol on his breath.
"She said no thank you!" Max repeated, crossing his arms over his chest, staring straight at the guy.
"I can handle this by myself, Max." Kasey snapped.
"There see, she's happy with me." The guy turned his attention back to her, but she shoved him away.
"Not with you." She snarled.
"Oh, you know you want it." He reached for her waist again, but Max caught his arm.
"Look Buddy, I don't think she wants to dance with you."
"I said this was no business of yours!" The guy pulled back his fist and punched Max square in the jaw. Kasey yelped in surprise, but max was more than ready to counter. He met the guy with a punch right in the nose, causing the cartolage to crumble under his face and blood to spill. The guy stumbled to the ground.
Kasey stood there in shock. Max winced, the security guys were shoving through. "Come on!" He grasped her hand and tugged her through the crowd that had gather around them. Too surprised to argue, she followed meekly.

Haha, I think I'll end it there for you. You know that deal, review for more. I promise more Trory in the next chapter, but I wanted to get Max on Kasey's good side and let some sparks fly, at least on his part.
