The Wrath of Anna Nardini
Disclaimer: Yes I do own Scott Paterson, IN MY DREAMS!
A/N: The last chapter sucked (I think), but I'm hoping this one is better. Sorry for all of the short chapters, but I promise they will eventually get really long. Ok on with "The Wrath of Anna Nardini".
It was time for school once again. This year she would be a junior, and Anna Nardini would be a senior. Lorelai was forewarned by Luke about staying clear of Anna, but Lorelai wasn't afraid, at least she thought.
The bell rang for the beginning of her junior year.
Lorelai rushed to her first class, chemistry, room 156, Mr. Gleason. Just as she entered the class the bell rang.
"Sit down everyone. It's time for class, not chatting." Mr. Gleason waited for everyone to sit down. "Welcome to Chemistry 101. I'm Mr. Gleason and I will be your teacher. First off were going to do something new. Mrs. Hodges has recommended that we partner up into a married couple and have to deal with different things married couples deal with. This isn't something we usually do in chemistry, but since Mrs. Hodges thinks it's best we will. Please everyone write your name on a piece of paper."
Lorelai pulled out her notebook and tore a sheet from it. She scribbled her name onto it, folded it, and passed it forward.
"I'll put your names into a hat and have you come up here and draw a name." He said as he dumped the paper into a hat. "How about we start with Lorelai Gilmore?"
Lorelai smiled and walked towards Mr. Gleason and the paper filled hat. She dug through the paper and pulled one out. She opened it and read out loud the name.
"Brandon Right."
"So Lorelai I guess we should start on our project." Brandon said when they were split up and sat together.
"Yea, we should."
Mr. Gleason handed Lorelai a blue sheet of paper that was written on.
"Thanks." Lorelai studied the paper. "It looks as if we have been married ten years. We have two kids, a girl and a boy, 7 and 4."
She handed the paper to Brandon.
"I work as a professor at Yale, and you are a stay at home mom."
"Oh great."
"I bring in an income of $4,000 a month."
"Anything else on there?"
Brandon scanned the paper. "Nope, nothing else."
"Maybe we could meet up one day this week at the library and work on it."
"Is Friday good for you?"
"Yea, that's fine."
But Lorelai forgot one important thing. Luke was taking her out to a special dinner for their 3 month anniversary.
"How was your day so far?" Luke asked as soon as Lorelai hopped into his truck at lunch.
"Not bad." She leaned over and gave him a short kiss on the lips. "Yours?"
"I worked at the hardware store. Not many people came in." Luke pulled the truck out of the school parking lot. "Anything go on?"
"Well I do have a project in chemistry, already."
"What is it?"
"We partner up into married couples, and we have to act as if were married, we get assigned a certain job and a certain amount of kids, and a certain amount of money."
"Who's your partner?" Luke was very interested.
"Brandon Right."
Luke turned to Lorelai shocked.
"Did he pick you as his partner?" Luke was clearly upset.
"No, I did."
"Why?" Luke gripped the wheel tighter. "Do you like him or something?"
"Luke no." Lorelai said placing her hand on Luke's arm. "I had to draw a name out of a hat and I happened to pick his. I only like you Luke."
"You sure."
"Positive. Brandon and I are just friends."
"You swear."
"I cross my heart, hope to not die."
When Lorelai arrived back at school she found her new locker and stuffed all of her books into it when a black headed girl came up to her.
"Hello Lorelai."
"Oh hey Anna." Lorelai said shutting her locker.
"I heard that you were dating Luke."
"How..."
"I got my ways." Anna stepped closer to Lorelai. "You took Luke from me and now your going to pay."
"But.."
"No but's Lorelai. I will pay you back, for what you did to me and you will suffer."
Anna left Lorelai dazed and confused.
When school let out Lorelai walked to William's Hardware. The bell rung her arrival.
"Hey babe." Lorelai said as she made her way to the counter. "Kiss?"
Luke leaned over and kissed Lorelai tenderly on the lips.
"I talked to Anna today." Lorelai said leaning against the counter. "She threatened me."
"What did she say?"
"That I would pay for breaking you and her up."
"Oh baby." Luke pulled her in for a hug. "I can't believe she would do something awful like that."
"Yeah, well she did." Lorelai buried her face in his shirt. "I'm scared."
"Me too baby. Me too."
Lorelai made it through to Friday.
She was to meet up with Brandon today. He was coming over to her house. At 6:50 Brandon knocked softly on the door.
She pulled open the door. "Come on in Brandon."
"Thanks."
"Let's get started..." She was interrupted by the doorbell.
She pulled open the door to find Luke with a bouquet of yellow daises for her. Lorelai smiled and leaned in and kissed him. Luke pulled away and looked behind her.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Luke asked pointing at Brandon.
"I'm he..."
"I didn't ask you so shut the hell up!"
"We were working on our chemistry project."
"We had a date tonight." Luke said emphasizing We.
"You and Luke are dating?" Brandon asked.
"I said shut the hell up!"
"Oh Luke I forgot all about it." Lorelai rubbed her head. "I didn't think and then when we decided on a day to work on it, we came up with Friday, I am so sorry Luke. If you give me ten minutes I can be ready."
"Forget our damn date Lorelai!" Luke said throwing the flowers down. "Your to busy with him anyways."
Luke turned around and slammed the door behind him.
"Oh Luke!" Lorelai yelled. She grabbed her jacket and ran after.
Lorelai quietly stepped onto the dock.
"How did you know I was here?" Luke asked turning slightly to Lorelai.
"Just felt like you would be."
"I'm sorry for blowing up back there, I just saw him in the same place as you and it just scared me that you might be cheating on me." Luke took a deep breath. "I really am sorry."
"I know hon." Lorelai leaned down and put her arms around Luke and kissed the back of his neck. "Thanks for the flowers, they're my favorite."
"Your welcome."
"How about we go back home and I make us a cup of coffee?"
"I don't drink coffee."
"Fine, tea then."
"They both have no idea." Brandon whispered into the phone.
"Keep it that way." A voice came from the other end. "Next time make him see you two together, and make sure when he sees you guys that you two are close."
"Will do boss."
"I'm telling you, the wrath of Anna Nardini is nothing they will have ever seen before." Anna whispered as she replaced the phone into the receiver.
A/N: Ok so this isn't that much better. It's kinda stupid and out of character 'cause I am dead tired. I'll write more later. Read and Review for now. Will get better.
