So I've been at work today thinking about what I can do to spice it up a bit. Hope this pleases. Thanx for the reviews and keep them coming.
Disclaimer- I haven't done one of these yet so…. I don't own anything (except Matt and me)
Rory was glad of the end of the day. She walked out of the building and into the parking lot. She couldn't see the jeep anywhere. She waited ten minutes then walked back into school to use one of the payphones inside. She put a few quarters (hope I'm getting my American terms right I'm English so I don't get most of this stuff) into the phone and called the Inn.
"Dragonfly Inn, Lorelai speaking"
"Mom, what on earth are you doing there, you're meant to be picking me up, remember"
"Oh honey I'm so sorry. I've been talking to your dad all afternoon he and Matt had a huge fight meaning Matt's gone back to New York early and your dad needed calming down. I completely forgot. You've got money to get the bus right? Well get the bus and meet me at Lukes ok?"
"Sure" Rory said although she was thinking great the bus the smelly bus with the uncomfortable seats and suspicious stains.
"Sorry sweets, I'll have coffee waiting for you… promise."
Rory smiled at that "see you soon, bye"
"Bye Hun"
Rory put the phone down and turned to walk out of the corridor.
"Hey Mary" a cocky smirk met her face "where you going"
"Away from you" she answered
"Now that's not very friendly is it?"
"Well what can I say, you bring out the worst in me"
"That hurts Mary, what'd I ever do to you"
"Fail to remember my name for a start, what do I have to do tattoo it on my fore head?"
"Yeah that'd do"
"Your impossible"
"But you love me any way"
"And on that modest note…. I'm Leaving"
She walked slowly to the bus stop thinking about what her mum had said, Dad and Matt in a fight…. Over what the only thing they'd ever disagreed on was Matt's going to college. Matt didn't want to go but Dad said it was necessary and he wouldn't give him the loan he needed to open his restaurant until he had graduated.
A car pulled up beside her "Want a lift?" Raichelle asked leaning out of the window
"Sure, beats the bus. But isn't it way out of your way?"
"You said you live in Stars Hollow right?"
"Yeah"
"Well so do I"
"Really? How come I never see you?" she asked walking over to the car and climbing in.
"Well I live with my Nan and she's ill I look after her when I'm not at school. A nurse takes care of her during the day but she prefers my company." She replied.
"Oh" said Rory unable to think of what to say. "Maybe you could get the Nurse to stay extra on Friday? Come to the Town meeting with my mum and me. And watch a movie at mine afterwards?"
"You don't have to be nice to me." She said
"You were nice to me first. Besides I need a friend at Chilton and judging buy the fact you were alone at lunch today you could use one too."
"I'll think about it, I don't like leaving Nan alone too long"
"Sure, Drop me by Lukes, my Mums meeting me in there."
"Ok" Raichelle pulled up by the diner. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow Lucky girl"
"Huh?" Rory asked baffled at the name.
"Working with Tristan on the English project. Any number of girls would give their right arms for that."
"Oh well, maybe they'd be willing to swap partners with me then"
"What'd you mean"
"I've never met someone with such a big ego and such a small brain in my life"
"I see what you mean but sometimes the view makes up for lack of talking points, you know?"
"No I don't" Rory said "See you tomorrow" and she climbed out of the car.
She walked into the diner and Lorelai was sat with an extra large cup in front of her as Rory sat down she pushed the mug towards he "Peace offering" she said.
"Thank you after my day I need it."
"So do I actually. LUKE!"
"What do you want now?" Luke asked
"To see you wearing something not flannel and without the cap it makes you look about four"
"That's some cap"
Lorelai smiled "Coffee please Luke?"
"You know its no good for you right?" he asked knowing there was no point in saying this.
"At least I'll die happy" she retorted
"There" he placed a cup in front of her and looked at Rory "Rory, please, put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom".
"Sorry, too late"
"So how was your day?"
"No more weird than I expected"
"Whose car was it you got out of?"
"Raichelle, she helped me open my locker earlier" she said "I asked her to come to ours after the town meeting on Friday, don't mid do you?"
"Of course not. Wait she lives in Stars Hollow?"
"Yep."
"And she goes to Chilton"
"Yep"
"Weird"
"Not that weird, I live in Stars Hollow and go to Chilton."
"I suppose."
"So what happened with Dad and Matt."
"The usual, Matt wants to drop out and Chris said no. it'll blow over. At least you're dads home tomorrow."
"Yeah I've missed him"
"Me too. Shall we head home?"
"Sure mum, Night Luke"
"Night girls"
When Rory went into her room to go to bed she noticed an envelope on her Pillow 'Rory' it read.
Ok that's it for now review and next chapter I'll let you know what's in the letter.
