Austory with some of what happen on the shows in the story. Lucas is an 18 and a freshman at Uconn and Rory is 19 and in her second year at Yale in this story. There is no Tristan is this story and Rory never sleep with Dean but did with Jess her senior year at Chilton and is in her no strings relationship with Logan. Lucas did date Brooke and Peyton but it didn't workout with either one of the girls. Other people will be in the story later.
Lucas Scott arrived at The University of Connecticut or Uconn as everyone called it. Lucas was in Hartford at the law school before going to the basketball coach to talk to him. He walked into the apartment that his father got for him it was a nice place with a small kitchen and a nice living room, which had a couch, chair, and a television. Lucas walked into the bedroom, hung his clothes up, and was now going to meet his professor. Lucas knocked on his professor's door before walking inside.
"Come in." Lucas walked inside and shook the teacher's hand. "You must be Lucas Scott."
"Yes sir."
"I'm Dr. Miller and I'll be your adviser. You are on a basketball scholarship is that correct?"
"Yes sir."
"What kind of law were you looking at?"
"I was thing criminal law sir."
"Okay let's get your schedule and send you on your way." The two made up Lucas's schedule.
"We also have some externship available to students."
"What kind?"
"Half or full years but you have to wait until next year they are full right now."
"Okay."
"With your basketball schedule Lucas I'm going to be real with you it will be twice as hard for you."
"I know sir, but I think I can do this." Lucas was about to walk out the door.
"Lucas do you have any free time tomorrow?"
"I have a workout then I'm free."
"Go to Yale clinic and talk to the resident it might help you next year, but you didn't hear that from me."
"Okay think you sir." Lucas walked out of the office.
After his "Voluntary workout", Lucas was driving to New Haven as the teacher said to do and talk to the resident who liked him a lot. It was late at night when he was about to drive back when he stopped at a pub to get something to eat. Lucas walked inside and saw a group of people at a table. The guys were drunk, and the two girls were talk to each other. Lucas saw the brown hair blue eye girl and smiled at her and she smiled back.
"A cheeseburger and a beer please."
"ID." Lucas handed the woman his fake ID and she got his drink. A blond hair guy walked up beside him.
"I need another round." The woman nodded and the guy stumbled into Lucas. "Watch where you're going."
"Yea my damn stool just jumped right in front of you." The women walked over to the drunken guy and grabbed his arm.
"Come on Logan it's time to go."
"I want to talk to my new friend here Uconn boy." Lucas laughed some as the woman gave him is sandwich.
"Boy." Lucas said looking at him. "You're the only boy here."
"I like you."
"Great, I fell special."
"It is do you know who I am?"
"Nope can't say I do."
"I'm Logan Huntzberger." Lucas just looked at him not knowing who this drunken guy was. "Do you know who my father is?"
"If I didn't know you why would I know your father?"
"I really like you. Give him my number Ace and get his for me."
"Okay Logan." the women wrote Logan's number down on a napkin and handed it to Lucas. Lucas wrote his number and name down for Logan when the women reached out for it Lucas pulled it back.
"Does this mean we're dating?" Lucas was waving the napkin in front of the girls face.
"Hardly." She grabbed the number from him and then took a picture with Logan's phone so he would know what Lucas looked like in the morning.
"You can at least tell me your name." She turned around, and smiled at Lucas.
"Bye Lucas.
"Bye Mary." The women looked at him and walked out of the pub.
Lucas was asleep when his phone rang he groaned and picked it up.
"Yea."
"Good morning son." Lucas rolled his eyes it was too early to deal with Dan Scott.
"Dan."
"How was your workout yesterday?"
"I can hardly lift my arms right now."
"Suck it up son what are you doing today?"
"I'm going to the gym and shoot around with some of the guys."
"Remember son there is always someone working when you're not."
"How can I forget when you keep tell me?" Lucas closed his phone and got out of bed.
Lucas never heard from the people he meet at the pub and he didn't really care that much, except for the girl with that Logan guy Ace is what he called her, but Lucas know that wasn't her real name. Lucas walked into the gym and every one of his teammates were here no coaches just the team. After a couple of hours Lucas's team were the only one who didn't lose a game, all the guys were amazed at the way Lucas played. Lucas drove back to Hartford to his place when he saw the girl from the other night. Lucas quickly got out of his car and walked over to her and she ran right into him.
"You know Mary we need to stop running into each other."
"My names not Mary."
"Really what is it then?"
"I'm not telling you."
"Why?"
"We don't know each other."
"We would if you told me your name."
"What's your last name?"
"Why should I tell you if you don't tell me?" The two walked up to the coffee counter. "Large black."
"Make that two." The guy nodded and Lucas turned back to the woman.
"So I tell you my last name and you tell me your name."
"Okay you go first."
"Scott."
"Lucas Scott nice to meet you my name is."
"Here's your coffee." Rory grabbed it and walked away.
"You have to pay for it."
"You can." She smiled and Lucas pulled out a ten, and walked away catching up to her.
"You never told me your name?"
"I think I did." She turned around looking at Lucas with question in her eyes.
"No you were about to when the guy handed you the coffee." Lucas grabbed her coffee and held the cup up.
"Give me back my coffee."
"Tell me your name Mary."
"It's Mary you knew it all along now give me my coffee."
"Right what is your name?"
"I'm not telling you." Lucas started to pour out one of the coffees, and she grabbed his hand. "Rory Gilmore." Lucas handed both coffees back to her and walked away.
"Bye Rory Gilmore." Lucas walked away smiling and looked back to see Rory was smiling also.
Rory went home to Stars Hollow for the weekend she was thinking about a guy, but not Logan it was Lucas Scott. She didn't know his story why he was here for or what school he went to, which by the clothes he was wearing she guessed it was Uconn. Lorelai walked out onto the porch and hugged her daughter.
"So how was your few weeks back?"
"Good."
"Well your grandparents are getting married again."
"Really that's great right mom?"
"Yea it is did you meet any new people?"
"A few nothing major." Lorelai notice her daughter was thinking about something.
"Who is he?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about mom."
"Come on Rory."
"I have no idea who he is mom."
"Okay very confusing."
"I meet him at the pub when Logan was drunk and he bumped into him." Rory carried her laundry to inside, and she sat down at the table. "Then a few days ago I ran into him, literally ran into him then he made me tell him my name."
"How did he you do this?" Lorelai sat down beside Rory.
"He took my coffee, and then started to pour it out."
"He touched your coffee and lived."
"Well he did, but then he give me his."
"Wow that made up for it so what's his name?"
"Lucas Scott I think he goes to Uconn." Lorelai walked over to the coffee table and picked up a paper. "Mom what are you doing?"
"Is this him?" Lorelai handed Rory the paper and Rory saw Lucas's picture and an article that just had his stats from high school. Rory was just looking at his picture. "Rory are you okay?"
"Yea this is him he plays basketball?"
"Yea it seems that way lets go to Luke's and get some coffee."
This is my new story and the first one I have posted without haveing at least six chapters already writen. Logan and Rory will not last, but Logan will be friends with both Lucas and Rory.
