Thanks everyone for reviewing!

p.s. I am not going to put Maddie, Louise, or Stephanie in this because I would make them so OOC and it would probably just be weird. I also probably won't have too much stuff about Lorelai because I sometimes have trouble writing her

Chapter 2

"Chilton is just a barrel of funs, huh Mare?" asked Tristan, slinging an arm over Rory's shoulder as they walked into the lunchroom from their history class.

"Yeah, I saw the clowns gathering in the parking lot. Oh, wait, that was your groupies with their badly applied makeup, and it's Rory," she retorted, removing his arm, and moving to sit next to Paris at a table with Finn, Logan, and Colin.

"Ouch love, its not our fault we're so damn sexy, the girls, they just can't resist an accent, though I don't know what they see in the rest of these goons," Finn said, stage whispering the last part and getting shouts of indignation from Logan, Colin, and Tristan.

"Shut up boys, I have to go to a Franklin meeting, so don't scare Rory too much," Paris said, effectively silencing the boys with her glares.

"Wait, is that the newspaper?" Rory asked, and when Paris nodded she continued, "Do you think they'll let me join? I want to be a journalist."

Before Paris could reply, Logan cut in, "Gonna be our resident ace reporter? Giving everyone the skinny on all the juiciest stories to come out of these halls?"

"Logan, you should try reading the paper, maybe then you would realize that we are about more than gossip, and maybe Papa Huntzberger would be a little proud, since you refuse to write for the paper," Paris shot back at Logan, "And the Franklin would definitely take you, and if not, I've got blackmail on the current editor," she said, turning back to Rory, "But we need to leave now to get you introduced and what have you," and with that she packed her bag and started walking out the lunchroom doors. Rory hurriedly packed up her stuff and started walking after Paris.

"Later Ace," Logan called, and Rory just turned around and glared. Rory finally caught up with Paris at the entrance of the Franklin and Paris was already talking with a boy about two years older than herself.

"And here she is Chris, Rory Gilmore. She's joining our staff," Paris said, talking to the boy, Chris, and pulling Rory over.

"Hello Ms. Gilmore, we always need new writers…" Chris said before Paris cut him off.

"Cut the crap Chris, and just give her an assignment."

"Ok, Rory you said your name was, you can be," he said before flipping threw a packet of papers, "Well, all the spots are filled up, but Logan Huntzberger was on music, and since he never shows up, or writes, you can have his gig."

"Oh thank you, thank you!" Rory said, attempting to give Chris a hug, but Paris pulled her away, back towards the lunchroom.

"Deadline is next Monday, have an edited article by then," Chris shouted at their retreating backs.

"Do you think Logan will be mad that I took his spot on the paper?" Rory asked Paris apprehensively.

"No, its not like he actually writes for it, besides if he does, you guys will just work together to do it," Paris replied.

"Like that would be good, I can't stand the guy, oh and I didn't tell you, he gave me a nickname," Rory responded, approaching the table.

"Another nickname, love?" Finn asked as they sat down.

"No, we were just talking about that butt faced miscreant," Rory stated, pointing at Logan, who was in the middle of chewing his hamburger.

"Hey! Tristan gave you one, why aren't you mad at him?" Logan cried.

"Tristan has been nicer," Rory said simply, and Tristan smirked at Logan.

"Ha! I beat Huntz!"

"Don't get cocky DuGrey, she doesn't even know me yet."

"Well," interrupted Paris, "she got the music beat from the Franklin, so if you wanna keep it, you have to work with her, and I'm sure you'll get to know each other real well."

"Some private study parties and meetings to go over articles, or maybe a little bit more," smirked Finn, winking in Logan and Rory's direction.

"Ugh, no! I'm not working with him; even Chris said he doesn't do anything. Keep your streak of not doing anything up, I'm going to the library," Rory said angrily and left in a huff.

"That's gonna make the whole 'Logan you better start writing for the paper or else' a little more interesting," Logan sighed, getting up, "I'm gonna go smooth this out."

The remaining four stared at him as he walked out. "Man, Huntz has known her one day, and he's got it bad," Finn said, shifting his attention to his food and continuing his lunch.

"Yeah, but she seems immune to the Huntz charm. I am so glad I have a front row seat to the 'Reporter Girl vs. Huntz Showdown'," Colin replied.

"Reporter Girl, Mary, Ace. I doubt anyone in this school will know her real name," Tristan replied, and then all four fell silent and returned to their lunches.

Logan had been searching the library for 5 minutes before he found Rory sitting between the rows of books, Atlas Shrugged in hand.

"Hey," he whispered, sliding down beside her, "Whatcha reading?"

"I love The Fountainhead, so I figured I'd give this a try as some light reading," Rory replied, showing him the title.

"This one's a good one," Logan responded, tapping the book, "I prefer it to The Fountainhead, but to each his own. But I wanted to talk to you about this newspaper thing."

Rory gave him a look, but he continued, "Seriously, I want to do it with you. I know that I haven't done anything in the past, but I want to work now," Rory gave him a disbelieving look, "Ok, my dad threatened my credit cards if I didn't start working, and I love my plastic."

"God, never call them 'plastic' again, you sound like a girl," Rory snorted, "but fine, I'll work with you, you probably know where all the concerts are anyway. But you have to promise me you'll work, because I really want to be a reporter, and if you screw this up, I'll kill you."

"Hey, don't worry, I work. And if I want to, I can work really hard, its Finn that's the slacker," Rory smiled at this, "and maybe a great friendship will come out of this partnership," he said, smiling.

"Yeah, maybe. But if you'll excuse me, I wanna find out who John Galt is."

"As you wish," Logan whispered, exiting the library, leaving a shocked Rory behind.

Don't expect a review this rapidly, its just that its vacation and I wrote Chapter 1 weeks ago. Hope you liked it, and be honest if you review, there's nothing I hate more than a lie
