"Ugh, I hate college exception time." Rory whined.
"What? Why? You know you got into Yale." Jess said. They were sitting at a table in the diner the night after the prom.
"Well, all of my acceptances are late. Most people get their acceptances before they go to the prom." Rory sighed.
"That's not true, I haven't gotten mine yet." Jess pointed out.
"You didn't send any in." Rory protested.
"So." Jess smiled.
"Yeah, so remind me, why aren't you going to college?" Rory asked.
"Well, there's no point. I hated regular school, why would I enjoy college?" Jess got up and walked behind the counter to get coffee.
"But it can bring you to so many different places."
"Rory, come on, you're the college girl. Let's just leave it at that." Jess brought coffee back to the table and sat back down.
"Fine, can I actually take it to go? I want to see if maybe I have any letters in my mailbox." Rory smiled.
"Sure." Jess got up and poured the coffee into a to-go cup.
"Thanks." Rory took the cup and pecked him on the lips. "Just think about what I said."
"Fine." Jess smiled and pecked her again.
Rory walked out of the diner and headed home. Jess closed up the diner and walked up the stairs. The place was dark and he didn't know where Luke was. He went over to his desk and sat down.
Jess opened a drawer and took out 4 closed envelopes. Ironically, they were all big. He sighed and flipped through them. Even though they were all community colleges, it was still good that he applied to a college at all.
Jess saw the enveloped labeled Hartford Community College, the college he wanted to get into more than the rest. He stared at it and flipped it over. He slowly opened the flap and slid out a bunch of papers and pamphlets. He unfolded the top letter that read:
Dear Jess Mariano,
We are happy to announce that you have been accepted to Hartford Community College. We congratulate you and are looking forward to seeing you at Orientation in the fall. Have a good summer.
Sincerely,
Headmaster of Hartford Community college.
"Oh, god." Jess sighed with a smile.
Rory walked in the quiet night to her house. She started walking up the stairs of her house but stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her mailbox. She walked back down the stairs and went to her mailbox.
Rory sighed and slowly opened the box. She peeked in and saw 3 large envelopes. She sighed and took them out.
"I got in." Rory smiled.
She ran quickly into the house.
"Mom!!!"
"Rory?" Lorelai jumped off the couch and ran to her in the hall.
"I got in!" Rory screeched.
"Oh, my god! Congratulations!" Lorelai screeched with her.
"Thanks." Rory smiled at all three envelopes.
"Harvard, Princeton, and Yale." Lorelai smiled and nodded. "Is Yale your final answer?"
Rory smiled and stared at her envelopes. "Yeah, I guess so." She smiled at her proud mother. "Why did these come so late though?"
"Oh, you didn't hear? Kirk is the new mailman, which means that the mail we are supposed to receive on a Monday, we will now get on a Friday!" Lorelai smiled jokingly.
"Joy!"
"So, are you sure?" Lorelai got serious. She knew you can't just pick one college so simply. You have to give thought to it and she wasn't quite sure Rory did.
"Yes. I've thought about it and I'm sure." Rory nodded.
"Ok." Lorelai swallowed. "Well, I'm going to sleep."
"Goodnight, Mom." Rory smiled.
"Goodnight, Yalegirl." Lorelai smiled back and walked up the stairs.
Rory grabbed the phone and walked into her room.
"Hello?" Jess answered.
"Hey!" Rory squealed.
"Hey. Why are you so chipper?"
"I got in. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale."
"Great. Congratulations."
"Thanks! I'm so happy, they all want me!"
"You suck as a gloater."
Rory laughed. "I know. But I'm just really excited."
"You should be. I'm happy for you."
"Thanks. Ok, I'm gonna get some sleep."
"How can you sleep, your so freakishly hyper."
"Good point, but I'll try."
"Have fun reading."
"That's sad that you can make assumptions about me."
"I know too much."
"I guess your right."
"Good night."
"Goodnight. I love you." Rory said and hung up the phone.
*Okay, not one of my best chapters but I guess it was good. I really don't know what if you get your acceptions after the prom, so I guessed. And I wasn't sure what an acceptance letter would say, so I guessed again. Comments and ideas!*
