The next day at school was a nightmare. Lorelai and Luke avoided each other the best they could, but for some reason they kept running into each other.

"What did Luke want to talk to you about yesterday?" Sookie asked as the two girls made their way to the lunch table.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure 'cause when Luke came back he said you had to go home."

"I'm sure, I was just feeling a little queasy." That's the truth. I was feeling a little sick after me and Luke ki..after we kis...

"Ok." Sookie said unconvinced.


While the two girls made their way to the lunch table, Luke was walking towards his beat up old truck.

"Hey Luke!" Anna called across the parking lot. "Wait up!"

Luke turned around and saw Anna running his way.

"I've been trying to find you all day." Anna was clearly out of breath.

"Oh..well I really haven't been feeling so good. I think I had a little too much nachos' last night."

"Sorry babe." Or maybe a little too much Lorelai Gilmore.

"I need to go home."

"What about lunch?"

"I'll eat at home." Luke opened his truck door and got inside. "Bye."

Luke drove off leaving an upset and angry Anna.

He's such a jerk. He knows what he did and yet he's stringing me along! I'll find a way to take care of Lorelai Gilmore. If it's the last thing I do Lorelai Gilmore will pay.


"Now please take out your homework from last night and pass it forward."

Lorelai dug in her bag and pulled out a crumbled up paper and handed it to the guy sitting in front of her.

"Ppsst."

Lorelai pulled out her calculator and folder.

"Ppsst."

She still didn't notice.

"Gilmore."

"What?" Lorelai looked over to where Sookie was sitting.

"Luke left early."

"So."

"Does it have to do with something that happened between you two?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen or talked to Luke all day."

"Exactly!"

"Exactly what?"

"Something happened between you two." Sookie smiled devilishly. "You guys aren't da..."

"No!"

"Sorry! Then what's going on with you guys?"

"Nothing...I think." Lorelai laid her head down on her desk.

"You think?"

"I just...well I...we...well..."

"Spit it out."

"We kissed."

"Oh...oh...Yay!"Sookie squealed.

"Sshh!"

"Sorry."

"So how was it?"

"How was?"

"You know."

"What...Oh Sookie!"

"Sorry."

"We just kissed that's it." Lorelai frowned. "It was accidental."

"So you two just happened to kiss." Sookie smiled. "You fell and his lips just happened to catch yours."

"No..well yea."

"Lorelai."

"Sookie." Lorelai copied in the same tone.

"Lorelai."

"Sookie."

"You two kissed. It was no accident."

"Maybe you're right."

"I know I'm right."

"How do you know?"

"Ever since you arrived here all Luke could do was talk about you. How sweet you were, how you live on your own, how you have a kid, things like that. He liked you and we all knew, and then when we met you we knew why."

"Why?"

"Because you were his type. Funny. Friendly. Pretty and most of all totally falling for him."

"That is so not true."

"What about the way you acted when you found out about him and Anna dating? Huh?"

"All I said was 'oh'."

"Yea, but the way you said it. You were disappointed."

"I was not."

"Don't lie Lorelai. We all can see it."

"Whatever." Lorelai turned away from her friend.

"Just say something." Sookie patted her arm before turning around in her seat. "Before it's too late."

Lorelai sighed. Say something. Like that's easy.


Luke pulled up in front of William's Hardware. He needed to talk to hid dad. After taking a ride around, and not being able to figure out what to do he needed an answer and only one person would know the answer.

"Dad? You here?"

"Lucas?" William stepped out from behind the curtain. "Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

"I needed to talk to you." Luke sat down on a stool his dad kept behind the counter.

"Is something wrong?" William asked pulling out a stool also.

"There's this girl." Luke sighed and scratched his head. "She is really nice and pretty. She can make you laugh and she never makes you feel stupid."

"So you like this girl?"

"I think so."

"Well then what's the problem?"

"Anna."

"Anna? Oh..Anna Nardini, aren't you guys dating?"

"Yeah."

"I still don't understand."

"I kissed her."

"Anna?"

"No, Lorelai."

William gave him a confused look.

"I'm dating Anna, but I kissed Lorelai." Luke pulled off his baseball cap.

"So you have feelings for this girl, who you kissed, but yet you are dating Anna."

"Pretty much."

"Does this girl have feelings for you?"

"I don't know."

"Does she know you have feelings for her?"

"No."

"Just say something." William patted Luke's shoulder. "Before it's too late."

Luke thought a minute. Say something. Like that's easy.


A/N: Hey guys, here's my next chapter. My story name for this changed a little. If you don't like it and you want me to change it back I will. Anyways, this chapter is pretty short, but I had the idea and I thought I'd write it. How was everyone's spring break? I had mine this week and me and 3 other friends went to Six Flags and then we had a sleep over at one of their houses. I'm sorry it's been a while since I updated I have been really busy over Spring Break, but I hope to have the last chapter of this section done tonight. Please read and review. I re-read this chapter and it sounded stupid. Tell me how it was. If you think Ineed to re-do this chapter let me know. Reviews are especially wanted, because it's the end of this section. Thanks. Have a great weekend and I hope ya'll all have a great spring break. Oy With The Poodles Already!
