Chapter 3
The day past, slowly but it past. And with Rory's luck, the worm and loving weather had turned into a hot and I-whish-I-could-be-in-the-shadow-with-a-cold-drink sort of weather. But, it didn't matter; she was just glad that the day was over, so that she could go home and start with the homework. Apparently, teachers thought it was just a normal Monday in the middle of the school year. Riley on the other hand had been a kind of weird, when the day started to come to it's end. She had acted strange ever since she had disappeared for about 5 minutes, and when she came back, she had the weirdest smile on her face. + That she wouldn't tell Rory what she had been doing.
The funniest part of the day was when Riley suggested that they would switch classes with each outer. Riley took Rory's drama class, well she was one big drama queen, and Rory took Riley's calculus class. And no one noticed. Not even Mr. Croom, their drama teacher, noticed 'Rory's' sudden change, very surprising since Rory was a horrible actress, okay not horrible but she wasn't a great one. Riley on the other hand, was the one who knew exactly what voice to use, what face and at what time to say how extremely sorry she was for being late, or crashing her father's car or whatever she needed to be sorry about.
But now, the day was over and Rory and Riley walked down the hallway. As they turned the corner, heading towards the main entrance, she saw him. And his little crowed, of course. And then it happened, he looked up at her, meeting her eyes and smiled. Her heart skipped a beat and she found herself smiling back. Then she felt Riley's hand pull her into the girl's bathroom.
"What the hell was that about!" Rory asked, irritated that her sister had ended the moment. She put her arms across her chest and stared at her sister who had started to take out some cloths from her backpack.
"Oh please! I am actually helping you so show a little respect." Riley said and looked up at Rory. She sorted the cloths into two piles.
"What?"
"R-E-S-P-E-C-T, you know like that song, don't make me sing it!" Riley took one pile and went into on of the stalls. "Now, put those cloths on, missy!"
"Why?"
"You're asking a whole lot of questions today, did you know that?"
It was no idée, Riley had made up her mind and the decision was final. So Rory grabbed the other pile and went into on of the other stalls. The pile contained a white skirt, not to short but not long enough and a red ¾ sleeved top, a little bit to tight for her taste but, it was Riley's, and she didn't want to walk around in her thick uniform. Riley's pile contained a baby blue skirt, one of those you tie around your waist, and a white tank top. Simple but comfortable.
It took a while before Rory came out, a little uncomfortable with the choice in cloths.
"And then the hair down" Riley said and helped her sister to let her hair down. "and Vóila! You look fabulouse!"
"What are you up to? We are only going home."
"No, we're not. We are going celebrating!" Riley said ecstatic, dragging her sister out of the bathroom as quickly as she had pulled her in.
"Are we getting coffee?" Was the only thing that came to Rory's mind.
When they came out of the bathroom, all eyes were on them, since it was a few students left. Riley smiled, and did one of those moves Cameron Diaz did with her hair in Charlie's Angels 1, you know when they are at that party and she meets Pete, she loved that movies because it was one of the few where the girl's get to kick the bad guy's asses. And it worked, every time, jaws dropped and girlfriends hit their partner on the arm. Rory was in chock, there were so many eyes on them, and not like those 'what is she wearing?' locks, but 'DAMN!' locks.
"So… were are we going?" She asked when they entered the schoolyard, which was full of students heading home. And there was one student, who's back she would have recognized anywhere. He was talking to a few of his friend, cracking jokes, making them laugh. She would have given anything to be one of those people right now.
"Over there." Riley pointed at a table that was placed a little bit on the side. At the table sat Jess and Henry, and now Rory also understood why Riley had acted so strange, she was nervous about meeting Jess.
"Just don't make me sing!" Rory laughed before getting a smack on the arm. Her laugh made Tristan turn around. It was a need to look at her now that he could. Also his jaw dropped, along with the rest of his friend. Never would he have thought that he would ever see her in those kinds of cloths, especially not at school. The sisters walked off to the table, which was far enough for Rory to say something that made Riley hit her again.
"Don't look but ass hole and his friends are in complete chock!" Riley said calmly.
"What?" Rory said and instantly turned her head, making her hair take a little trip in the air, just as Riley had done outside the bathroom. "Oh God" she said and turned her head back quickly.
"I know, the point was to make people look but not that sort of people!" Riley stated really annoyed.
"Wait, that was ass hole?"
"Yeah, he came up to me right before first class and was just a complete jerk, he even called me Mary, I'm like c'mon! How lame is that!" She looked at her sister and saw a nervous little girl. "Oh my God! That's Bible Boy!"
"Could you say that a little louder, I don't think they heard you in SCHWITSERLAND!" Rory snapped. They made it to where Jess and Henry were, without Rory cutting Riley's head of.
"So are you two lovely ladies ready for a nice game of poker?" Jess said and smiled.
"Ah, brings back the memories…!" Riley said and the both sat down.
"Great, I'm the dealer!" Henry said and took the cards while Jess started to give them all chips, since it is illegal to gamble for money when you're a minor.
"So… what exactly are we playing?" Rory asked when she had got her chips.
"Texas Hold'em, with no limits." Jess said and Henry started giving out the cards.
"What's with the 'no limits'?"
"It means that when ever you want, you can go all in." Henry said and looked at his cards. "Ever played this before?"
"No"
"Not even with mom?" Riley asked, kinda surprised and Rory shook her head. "Really? Wow, and I have heard all the stories about mom's gambling, and she hasn't rubbed of on ya?"
"Can we start now!" Jess said, liking his pair of sixes.
"Royal Flush!" Rory said and laid down her king and queen on the table. Henry and Jess through their cards on the table and had both annoyed expressions on their faces. It had only been 15 minutes and the three others was almost out of chips already.
"I thought you said you hadn't played this before!" said Henry really frustrated.
"It got to be in the genes!" Jess said glaring at Rory who happily took all the chips she had won.
"Then why am I'm loosing!" Riley said and looked at her little pile of chips.
"You got the other Gilmore genes." Rory answered and smiled.
"Oh right," She smiled "what memories! So Henry, talking about memories, how's things going with Lane?"
"Ha! He's probably glad she isn't here to see him loose against Rory!" Jess laughed.
"Shut up!"
"Are you mad because you're loosing against little me?" Rory said as innocent as she could.
"No" The both guys snapped.
"Well you should." She had on a devilish smile and her eyes screamed. Then it happened. It started raining. The few students who were still at the school hurried to take cover under the roof.
"Oh shit!" Jess instantly packed all the stuff in his backpack.
"But I was winning!" Rory whined. When she was the only one left of the four, she started looking in her own backpack for her skirt and blazer. When she found them, she joined the others under the roof. Busy, whining, she didn't notice a certain blonde who stood with his friends 10 feet away. The rain was now pouring down leaving nothing to stay dry. Rory pulled the skirt on top of the one she was wearing. Then pulled the white one of.
"What are you doing?" Riley asked taking the blazer Rory handed her.
"Wet white cloths get see-through. So if I were you I would put that blazer on before"
"Ah, thanks!" Riley said and blushed, and then she pulled the blazer on as fast as she could. In the progress she dropped her cell phone, which was in her hand. The phone broke into what it seemed a million pieces. Riley let out a little noise and picked up the remaining pieces of her phone.
"Well I'm gonna go, see ya later." Henry said and went out in the rain towards his car.
"See, I told you, you got the other Gilmore genes!" Rory said, trying to make this a good thing. Really not making anything better.
"Do you think they can fix it?" Riley tried to put the pieces back together.
"Buy a new one." Someone said behind them. They all turned their heads and saw a group of three guys, smirking, a few feet's away. Two of them smirked at them, one smiled at Rory. She instantly looked down at her shoes and blushed. Why did he always have this effect on her? Tristan loved it when she blushed. It made her eyes look even bigger and bluer.
"Did I ask to you!" Riley said and Rory swore she saw her sister's little horns grow out from their hiding place in her forehead.
"Okay, we are going now!" Rory said quickly pulling her sister towards the car, but Riley pulled her arm away. "Okay"
"Tell me, is all the guys here at Chilton ass holes! Because everyone except Henry have been nothing but jerks this whole day!" Riley said and stepped towards the guys. "Or is it only your big ego that rub of on everybody else!" Tristan and Bruce 'ow'de and laughed at Duncan who was getting yelled at by 'the new girl'.
"You know no one likes a girl who isn't very nice, but if you want to get a little nasty, you could always come over to my house later." Duncan smirked, the best defense is attack. If Bowman hadn't showed up at that moment, Duncan would have a broken nose by now, but…
"Hey, sorry I'm late!" There were a billion signs that pointed at that he had had a little adventure in on of the classrooms with some girl. He walked up to Duncan's side and put on a wide smirk. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Tristan's Mary or is it the twin Magdalene?"
That's it! Was the rational thing in Riley's mind. She swung her right hand, knowing exactly how thanks to years in kickboxing, and hit Bowman's nose and broke it. It made that sound when a bone breaks and he went down, having no chance to react to what was coming. Jess immediately held Riley from continuing what she had started. Kicking and screaming, he lifted her a bit back.
"I swear if you ever call me that again I am going to break every single bone in your body!" She screamed from the 'safe' distance. Bowman was still down, the blood was all over his shirt and the only thing his friends could do was to try to get him up from the ground.
Rory was in chock, she knew what Riley was capable of but she could never have thought that she could break some ones nose because she was mad, not that she didn't have a reason but she could at least ignore them, like she had done.
"And Bible Boy, you stay the hell away from Rory or else I'm going to" Riley screamed at Tristan who was taken back from the whole situation, and then get a clear warning from his crush's sister to stay the hell away from her. Wait did he just call her as his crush?
"Keys!" Rory yelled at her sister. Jess through the car keys to Rory.
"WHAT!"
"I don't have a death wish," Rory said as calm as she could "Plus, we probably have to take a look at your stupid hand" she muttered. Jess started to walk to the car, still holding Riley back.
"I AM WATCHING YOU!" Tristan got from Riley before the trio was to far away.
It took Bowman a good ten minutes to let anyone help him up. Still not sure of what had happened. And then Bruce cracked.
"So… how did I feel to get your ass kicked by a girl?"
"Shut up!"
And then, neither Duncan nor Tristan could hold it back. They all, except Bowman of course, laughed. No one had ever had the guts to stand up against Bowman like that, sure he had got himself into a few, or a lot, of fights but this was nothing like it. Riley Gilmore, the new girl, twin sister to Rory Gilmore aka Mary, had just broken one of the most popular guys nose. And she would get away with it, since Bowman would never, ever, admit that he had got his ass kicked by a girl. Okay not a girl, a Gilmore.
