Jess stood at the counter reading his book just as the Gilmore girls came
in. Rory walked over to him. "Hey."
"Oh, hey." He replied, pretending he didn't notice she came in. "You want some coffee or somethin?"
"You're asking a Gilmore if she wants coffee?"
"Uhhh....does that mean you want coke?"
"Jess!" She laughed at how naive he was. "Gilmores live for coffee!!"
"Oh...um sorry."
"It's ok, you haven't been here that long. I think I'll let it slide."
"Thanks." He got her her coffee and went back to his book.
"So have you made that analysis about Stars Hollow yet?" Usually Jess would get annoyed that she kept interrupting him while he was reading....but for some strange reason, he didn't.
"Uh no."
"So you're going to Stars Hollow High huh?"
"Yeah. Lucky me." He replied sarcastically.
"Well I go there too so maybe we can sit together in some of our classes."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah....I mean if you want...."
"I'll think about it."
"Good....well then. I gotta go, I'll see ya later."
"Sure."
STREETS OF STARS HOLLOW
"So...what's Jess like?" Asked Lorelai as the crossed the street.
"He's fine."
"I didn't ask how he was doing! I asked what he was like!!"
"Oh, well he's quiet and he likes to read."
"Ahh I see a friendship beginning. Does he read the same stuff you do?"
"I don't know. I saw him reading Oliver Twist today. Good book."
"Oh! I remember that book!! It's the one about the boy and he's uhh....in love with this girl and he uhh....goes off to war and he uhhh dies and uhh..."
"Mom....you've never read the book."
"Yeeeah I know." They reached their street. "So you think you'll become friends with him?"
"Who? Jess?"
"No Oliver, yes Jess."
"Oh um...I don't know. I hope so. I'd really like to discuss books and stuff with him. It'll be like...a college literature class-where you do debates on books and such."
"Oh."
" 'Oh'? 'Oh' what?"
"Well...just the things I've heard...from Luke. I just want you to be careful."
"What?"
"He's different than you, Rory."
"What do you mean?"
"He's....well...He's seen too much." Lorelai walked inside leaving Rory out on the porch. She sat down on the porch swing and thought about what her mother had just said. *seen too much? What does that mean? How does she know?* she thought.
INSIDE THE GILMORE'S
"What did you mean?"
"I'm sorry?" Asked a very startled Lorelai.
"What did you mean when you said he had seen too much?"
"I just meant that...well Luke has told me some things....Jess isn't exactly innocent you know."
"I know...."
"Hun, I don't mind if you hang out with him....just as long as you are aware of what he might drag you into....in the future...."
"Mom..."
"Rory, just be careful ok? Maybe find out a little bit about him and his past...."
"Fine..I'll do my best."
NEXT DAY- STARS HOLLOW HIGH
"Jess!" Rory called from across the school yard. "Jess, wait up!" She finally caught up. "Hey." She said a little out of breath.
"Hey."
"So umm what class do you have first?"
"Lit."
"Me too!"
"Cool, umm. I'll catch up with you later ok?" He took off to a rough looking group of guys standing outside the front doors of the school.
"Oh...uhh ok." She said more to herself than to him because he was already gone. *Of all people for him to hang out with...those guys are the worst!* she thought.
There were three guys. Their names were Lewis, Jono, and Eddie and they were the toughtest guys in school. The jocks never came near them, the most slutty girls hung out with them, and overall the guys were pretty much the "big bad gang" of Stars Hollow. These guys weren't nearly as bad as the guys in New York, but they would do. He needed some guys at least somewhat like the ones he used to hang out with.....
Rory couldn't believe he was hanging out with those guys. *Why would he want to hang out with these guys? I'll just have to talk to him after school.* she thought as she walked to Literature.
AFTER SCHOOL- DINER
The four guys had cut the last half of the day and hung out in the apartment above the diner....much to Luke's dismay. "Hey Luke, have you seen Jess?"
"Yeah, he's upstairs I think....well you can go check."
"Ok thanks." She went upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Come on in!" Came a voice from inside. Rory opened the door and walked inside. There were four boys sitting around the room, listening to music. "Rory!" Jess stood up quickly, ashamed. He wasn't entirely sure WHY he was ashamed, but he was.
"Well well well, who do we have here Jessy-boy?" Asked Lewis.
"Cut it out. Hey, what can I do for you."
"Well I uhh..." She stuttered. "I kinda wanted to talk to you....about something."
"Well I'm kinda busy right now. Later?"
"I guess-"
"K, bye."
"Um yeah...bye." She walked out and closed the door. Maybe her mom was right about Jess.
