A few days after the coffee shop, Rory found herself very attracted to Logan. She and her friends were always with him and his friends. They partied together, and the girls even got the guys to study with them. Finn needed some convincing by Maddy, but he did get and 'A' on the next test. Most of the guys on campus were too intimidated by Logan, Tristan, Colin and Finn to approach the girls, but they didn't mind that much. Rory fought the attraction, playing it off as a simple schoolgirl crush. Sure, they hooked up, but while only in an inebriated state of mind. She tried to talk to other guys, but they ran away and she swore every time she turned around, she saw a flash of blonde escaping her line of vision. Rory was attending classes and working on the paper,
"The Viking View." (The Viking is the Mascot of the school) Dean Forrester also worked on the paper, and Rory got to be friends with him.
"Hey Ror!" Dean exclaimed
"Dean, Hey, What's up?" Rory said casually
"Not much, lots of studying."
"Same here, except for me its lots of coffee then lots of studying."
"Coffee addict?"
"You have no idea."
"Why don't you show me?"
"Huh?"
"Would you like to go get some coffee? I know a nice little coffee shop that's a few blocks from here."
"I'd love to. Let me just save this article."
Rory saved her article and then went to grab her sweater and purse.
Dean saw her Gucci hand bag, and Versace sweater and his eyes widened.
"I guess you're not here on scholarship!"
"What?" Rory said very confused.
"The Gucci and the Versace gave it away."
"Yea, I got them on my last trip to Europe. My parents are there, so my friends and I went to see them before school started."
"So you're European? I don't hear an accent, your English is perfect."
"What? No, I'm from Connecticut, my father is in Europe setting up a few law firms and my mother is checking on the European division of her company."
"Really?"
"No, not really." Rory said with sarcasm evident in her voice.
"Oh," Dean said with his face reddening.
"So, let's go get that coffee!" Rory said with a smirk.
Dean grinned uncomfortably and they started to walk out.
"So, I'm from Connecticut also, same with Jess." Dean stated after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence.
"Where?" Rory asked
"A little town called Stars Hollow."
"OH! Don't they have a little hardware shop slash diner that makes the best coffee in the world?" Rory asked excitedly
"Yea,
Luke's. The guy who owns it, Luke, is Jess' uncle."
"They
have such good coffee. My mother and I were bored one day, so we
decided to play hooky, and took my baby for a drive, and ended up
there when we got lost."
"Wow, you look amazing for someone who had a kid." Dean said astonished
"What? NO! My baby is my car! My 16th birthday present from both sets of grandparents, '85 DeLorean, fully loaded, updated stereo. Ugh, it's the perfect car. Candy Apple Red. It's amazing. I'm in love with it. If it was legal for woman and car to marry, we would be the first union." Rory rambled.
"Wow that must of cost a lot of money." Dean said shocked.
"Not really, just few hundred thousand." Rory said casually "And that was with all of the sweet updated-ness put into it. My grandparents actually called West Cost Customs and had them 'soup up the engine' to quote my grandmothers."
"OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE A CAR THAT WAS CUSTOMIZED BY WEST COST CUSTOMS?" Dean shouted in shock
"Several." She said staring at him oddly.
"Wow, I wish I could afford that."
"Well, save your pennies!" Rory said mockingly "Look! The coffee shop!"
Rory and Dean walked to the back deck of the shop and sat in the shade. Rory pulled out her cigarettes and lit one up.
"Caffeine and Nicotine, The best combination out there." She stated after a long drag.
"I only smoke cigg's after I get fucked up."
"It's my one bad girl thing."
"So you are a good girl?"
"Everybody seems to think so." Rory said with a smirk that rivaled Logan and Tristan's.
"So, tell me about yourself." Dean said while leaning in over the table a bit.
Rory noticed and frowned and leaned back in her chair.
"Well, my parents are high school sweethearts. My mom got pregnant with me at 16 and her and my dad got married. She and my father, with the help of both sets of my grandparents, went to Yale. My mother didn't want to be a "Society Wife" so she got a degree in business and went to work for my grandfather. He retired last year, and handed over his company to her. My Dad got a degree in Law and took over my grandfather's practice when he graduated, because Poppy became a supreme court Judge-"
"WHAT?" Dean interrupted.
Rory sighed. She forgot that he wasn't from her world, so this is probably a shock for him.
"My grandfather is Straubert Hayden."
"How did he go from being a lawyer to a Supreme Court judge?"
"Well, the other partners in his firm took over until my dad graduated. My grandfather was a regular judge, then a federal judge, and finally, a Supreme Court judge. Now, can I finish my story?" Rory said snobbishly.
"Uh, yea, go ahead."
"Ok, so anyway, I grew up in Hartford, went to Chilton for a while, then my father decided to join practices with Lynn, Gellar and Grant. So he is in Europe for the year, setting up branches in Europe. My mother is with them checking on the European Branches of Gilmore Insurance. So here I am. What about you?"
Dean looked around sheepishly and started his story.
"Well, I lived in Chicago until I was 16-"
He was interrupted by 4 boys he detested and 3 girls he could never get.
"RORY LOVE!" a sexy Australian accent yelled.
"Hey Boys!" Rory said flirtatiously "Maddy, Louise, Paris! Where were you this morning?"
"They went missing too, Ace? When I woke up, these three stooges were gone also." Logan stated dragging a chair up next to Rory.
Dean was livid. He hated seeing Huntzburger so close to Rory. He really liked her. He didn't realize that she came from money until that afternoon in the newspaper office. He thought she was a regular person. He saw her gliding into conversation with Maddy and Louise about Fashion, and then turn around and argue with Colin about world events. Dean couldn't figure it out. Was she a society princess, or a regular jane?
Rory glanced at her watch and realized she was going to be late for her next class.
"Well guys, my free period is up. I've got to go. Logan, call me later about that concert."
"Will do Ace. But, it's time for the Gilmore-Hayden movie night that I was promised!"
Rory giggled and responded coyly.
"Well then, just stop by, I mean you live SO far away, I know that it must kill you to walk down those stairs to come visit me!"
"Um, Rory? Class?" Dean said angrily
"Oh yea, Well, Dean and I have a class, so I best be going. Bye you guys don't do anything Lorelei wouldn't."
"So anything goes?" Louise said jokingly.
"HA! Of course! Do you think that I would actually suggest you have morals for a night?"
Rory said goodbye to everybody and Tristan mumbled something along those lines, as he got up to go pay.
-On the way to class-
"So Ror, you're friends with them?" Dean said hesitantly.
"Yea, my mom and Logan's mother are friends, and have been for a while. And Maddy, Louise and Paris are my best friends, probably since the womb, since all of our birthday's are less than a week apart and our mom's got very close, all being pregnant at the same time, and all having girls."
"Oh, that's cool."
"I suppose."
"So you and Huntzburger are an item?"
"No, just friends, why?"
"He is into you."
"What? No! He's Logan! My Master and Commander."
"So you have slept with him?"
"Not that it's any of your business, but no."
"He isn't good enough for you."
"Excuse me?"
"He isn't good enough for you." Dean repeated.
"Whatever." Rory said as she began to stomp off."
As they got to her class, Dean grabbed Rory's wrist and said,
"Well, up until the fight, I was having a good time. How about I take you on a real date sometime soon?"
"Look Dean, You are a great guy. But I'm not interested in you like that. I mean, we are totally different people."
"No, what about today, talking about books and movies and stuff?"
"Yea, it was fun, but, Oh my god, we just aren't compatible. We are from totally different world, it would never work out."
"So no even giving it a chance?"
"Sorry, Ah, I don't feel like going to class. I'm going back to that Café, maybe my friends are still there."
Her cell began to ring Right Said Fred's I'm to Sexy and her eyes lit up and a smile immediately was plastered on her face.
"Hey Logan" She cooed into the phone.
That was the last straw for Dean. He was in a state of anger he had never seen before. He hated Logan Huntzburger so much. He hated that High Society and everything that it represented. He thought that Rory was different, and he was going to prove it to her.

A/N: I could have made it longer, but it is now 2:52 am and I am about to pass out I am so tired. Please R/R! I will probably have another chapter up tomorrow night. Sorry not a lot of Rogan in this chapter as promised, but I got this idea because I hate Dean so much. I want to set him up for a MAJOR disappointment, since GG writers like to have him break Rory's heart. I SWEAR on a stack of bibles the next chapter will be filled with Rogan goodness. I already have a bunch of Ideas.
