GROUNDHOG DAY
Rory woke up to the smell of coffee percolating in the kitchen. She looked up to the clock on her nightstand and saw that she had to hurry to be able to make it to school on time. "Sorry no time to talk I'm late," she mumbled as she grabbed a cup of coffee and headed in to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When she emerged from the bathroom she was fully dressed. "Mom can I take the jeep so I'm not late to school?" she asked as she picked up her backpack. "Sure honey. Aren't you even a bit excited?" Lorelei inquired. "Why would I be excited to go to hell?" "No I mean that you only have two weeks left until graduation," she said. "Ugh no I still have to finish my valedictorian speech and study for finals and fulfill my 500 other obligations to the school and The Franklin," she sighed out in one breath. Rory walked out of the kitchen and headed for the front door leaving Lorelei to wonder how she got to be so smart when she heard Rory gasp from the front door. "What is it honey?" she said as she got up to see what all the commotion was about. When she reached the front door she saw what had taken Rory by surprise. There sitting on the porch was a huge vase with about 25 long stem roses in it and a card leaning against it with Rory spelled out in gold lettering. "Who are they from?" "I have no idea but I have to leave for school can you take them inside for me mum?" "Sure honey we will solve this mystery when you get home." Rory got in the jeep and started to drive to school with the roses capturing all of her attention. When she finally arrived she hurried to her locker only to be greeted by Paris. "So Gilmore have you finished your valedictorian speech yet?" "No I haven't and I will also be late to class if you insist on pestering me further. So I'm afraid I have to leave," Rory replied as she hurried down the hallway towards her AP Calculus class. No matter how hard she tried to focus on the day's lesson her mind kept drifting back to the mysterious roses sitting in her house waiting for her.
