Description: this is my first fan fic….please review! Rory is in her senior year at Yale, she is interviewing for jobs in journalism, when Jess suddenly comes back into her life. Total future fic. Rory isn't with Logan anymore.
"So today's the big day huh?" Lorelai asked.
"It not such a big deal mom, its just an interview." Rory replied, blushing.
"So, you really want this job huh?"
"I don't know what I want, I just hope I get a job"
"Please don't be so modest, you're the best journalist I know." Luke chimed in.
"I agree with the man with the coffee" Lorelai said, grabbing the pot from Luke and topping off her mug.
"I will try my best, that's all I can hope for. I mean, it's a really good up and coming newspaper, but I don't know…living in New York, I don't know if I can make if." Rory sighed doubtfully.
"Aww, hun of course you can. You can do anything you put your pretty little mind to." Lorelai smiled, trying to cheer her daughter up.
"Well, you better get going, you don't want to get into a lot of traffic. Here's some coffee for the road, who know what kind of coffee they have there." Luke mumbled.
As she drove towards Manhattan, Rory began to wonder what her life would be like if she got the job. Man, living in New York City, being a real journalist? It can only lead to bigger things. She started to get butterflies in her stomach, just thinking about NYC and her last trip down there. Jess popped into her head, but she quickly stopped herself from thinking about him right now. The last thing she needed was something distracting her from this interview.
Rory walked into the newspaper office, it was a hip young paper that targeted mainly the village and SoHo. She felt so cool just being there. The office was funky and colorful, buzzing with the excitement of any newsroom.
"Can I help you?" Rory looked at the young thin blonde receptionist who looked like she would easily make it onto and teen reality show.
"Rory Gilmore. I'm here to meet Jessica"
"First office on the left, she's expecting you"
"Thanks"
"Hello, Jessica?" The woman looked up from her desk when her name was called "I'm Rory Gilmore..."
"Oh, hi Rory, please come in, sit down." Jessica greeted her with a smile. She was different than Rory had pictured. Most newspaper editors were much older, with bad hair and even worst outfits. But Jessica looked to be about 26, she had long brown hair, with subtle highlights. She was very pretty and had very good fashion sense. Rory was impressed. "So, from the samples of your writing that you sent me I think you are perfect for this paper."
"Really?" Rory asked, shocked at how fast she got to the point. "Well…. thanks"
"Now, I know you don't graduate 'till May, so I was hoping that you might want to start of working just one or two days a week. Just to get adjusted to the newsroom, then you will be fully ready when we really throw you into the fire."
"That sounds great, I think I can put in two days a week"
"Eventually, you will need to get an apartment down here. I know its expensive but we have a housing fund for new employees. We believe that you can't write about the neighborhood unless you know the neighborhood. So, no need to worry there." Rory wondered how such a small paper could have such large resources, but she quickly remembered that a large publishing company had acquired the paper a few years ago. They must have expanded their budget for things like this.
"Well do you want a tour or not?" Jessica asked jokingly.
"Of course" Rory smiled. She was giddy and wide-eyed as they started walking around.
"Here is the new desk, this is Adam, he's the news editor. He's responsible for assigning all the news stories and editing the news section."
"Nice to meet you Adam, I'm Rory Gilmore" Rory said, extending her hand. She had learned that it was important to always introduce yourself first
"Likewise, Rory. And what are you interested in writing? News, I hope."
"Well, I like everything. I usually find a place in features... but I'm sure I will make my way around."
"Well, that sounds good. From what Jessica tells me you are quite the writer and we are lucky to snatch you up."
"Thank you, I will try to live up to the hype."
"Here we have entertainment and music Both of the editors are out right now, but they have an amazing staff of reviewers. Here is sports, probably our smallest section, but we need one non of the less. This is Maggie, she's the Opinions editor"
"Hello Maggie, I'm Rory"
"Well, nice to meet you Rory. Sorry, gotta run, I have a deadline"
"We call her the blur, she always has a deadline." Jessica smirked. "Here is the kitchen where the coffee is, would you like a cup?"
"I never say no to coffee …"
"It runs through her viens." Chimed in a familiar voice.
