Hi, here's the update. Hope you like it and just to let you know, this story is not going to drag on forever. It will probably end up with 6 or 7 chapters. Maybe less. Well hope that doesn't discourage you from reading it.
The day dragged on slowly, people constantly looking at the group. Either with jealousy or respect in their eyes. Some guys looked on at the girls longingly, others with disgust. But the real surprise was that none of them cared.
Jess and Chris could care less what people thought of them. Kyle and Paris were on cloud nine and didn't notice. Louise and Madeline liked the attention but they really didn't give a shit as to what people thought about them. Tristan had learned to ignore the rumor mill over the years and Rory felt comfortable knowing that Kyle, Jess and Chris were there to straighten things out, if any rumors went around about her.
The day ended and Rory was thankful to go home and tell her mother about everything. She hadn't had the chance this morning.
She walked out of the class room Kyle and Jess in tow and went to her locker. They were met by Louise, Madeline, Paris and Chris.
"What's up guys?" Rory asked as she attempted to open her locker.
"Not much. We were wondering if we could come over tonight though." Madeline subtlely asked, in a hopeful voice.
"It's fine with me, what about you guys? Got any plans I don't know about."
"Other than working at the diner for a while. Nothing" Chris responded.
"Nothing" Kyle and Jess told her.
Rory tried respinning the dial for her locker and it didn't open. She groaned. "Please open, I'll be your nest friend" It didn't open.
"I thought that was my title" Tristan teased. While pounding his fist on her blue locker. It popped open.
"Not even close" she teased back.
He turned back to everyone else and asked "So what is everyone doing tonight?"
"We are going over to Rory's" Louise answered.
"Why wasn't I invited?" He asked.
"I thought you were here when we invited everyone?"
"You didn't notice I was gone?" He asked shocked. He put a hand over his heart.
"Didn't notice" And she walked out to the car. After she closed her locker of course.
They all arrived at Chris's Viper.
"I'm driving!" Rory told them.
"But it's my turn!" Kyle told her.
"Tough, I want to drive Chris's car. It's a nice car, and unlike you I haven't scratched it or gotten a ticket in it."
"She's right you know I trust her more with my baby than you two" He pointed at his brother and cousin.
"Thank you Chris. Now keys" She stuck out her hand.
"Rory you broke tradition!"
"I'm so sorry!" She hopped into the front seat and held her hand up. Chris tossed the keys. She caught them easily.
"Tradition's back" she told them.
They all laughed at the exchange.
"Nice car" Tristan commented.
"We know." They all chorused together. Even if it was Chris's car, it belonged to all of them, one of the many things they shared.
"Can I come with you guys?" Tristan asked "Louise brought me in her mustang and I'm not driving back with her and Madeline. And I am not driving with Paris in her beamer."
"You can join us. Hop in the back with Kyle and Jess" Chris told him. He did what he was told. Jess and Kyle got in after.
Rory started the car and Chris opened his door and sat down. He shut the door as Rory pulled out of the parking spot.
"Your going to rip my door off one of these days, JavaJane"
"JavaJane?"
"I use her nickname occasionally."
"Where did you get JavaJane from?"
"When I first saw her, she was drinking coffee and reading something by Jane Austen."
"Pride and Prejudice" Rory supplied.
"So now occasionally we call her JavaJane. But most of the time it's Ror."
"I see," He looked around the car. And saw the 7 bottles of different brands of hair gel "What's up with the gel?"
"That's where the gel was!" Jess exclaimed.
"Still doesn't answer my question" Tristan told them.
"On the first day of school they were all gelling their hair and I knew that if they were all doing their hair we wouldn't make it to school on time. So I did their hair in the car."
"Seven brands!" He asked the guys shocked.
"Yah, they each use at least 2 or 3 brands a day. We spend about 150 dollars on Hair Gel a month at the house" Rory explained to them.
"That's a lot for hair products."
"Actually we spend about 250 on hair products but only 150 on hair gel" Giving him the stats.
"What else do you buy?"
"We spend 25 dollars on hairspray, 25 dollars on mousse, 25 dollars on hair wax, and 25 dollars on sparkly clips and hair ties." Rory continued.
They pulled up to the house.
"Everybody out" Chris announced.
Rory took the keys out and threw them to Chris and he pocketed them.
They walked up to the door. And Rory just turned the knob.
"You don't lock your door?" Tristan questioned.
"Crime rate is 0 around here."
Paris's beamer and Louise's mustang pulled up. They got out and joined the group at the door and they walked in.
"Set you stuff down on the table. We'll be right back." Kyle and Jess trudged upstairs to their room. Chris and Rory walked down the hall to their rooms' right next to each other.
They came back a couple minutes later. Rory in a pair of jeans and an Abcrombie polo.
Jess and Kyle wore black jeans with Jess wearing a Clash T Shirt and Kyle with a Bangles T Shirt.
Chris came out in baggy blue jeans and a red T-Shirt with Trouble Maker written on it.
They sat down. Chris on the floor, Jess and Kyle on the couch next to Madeline and Paris. Louise was on the stairs and Tristan was sitting in the lounge chair.
"Where do I sit?" Rory asked.
"Your welcome on my lap" Tristan suggested with a smirk.
Rory got an idea and smirked. She walked over to Tristan and sat down she wiggle her butt into his groin and he groaned.
"I don't like it here. I'll go sit by Chris." She stood up and joined Chris on the floor.
"That was just cruel Mary!" Tristan blushed.
"I know. But you deserved payback"
"What did you do?" Paris asked.
"Nothing" Rory told her.
"Ok we have to discuss homecoming" Louise told us.
"Ok" Paris told her.
"Oh My God, the world just exploded, Paris agreed to talk about a school dance."
We all giggled.
"Ok the basics, what color are each of you wearing?"
"I am wearing Red" Madeline informed her.
"I'm wearing Green." Paris told her.
"I'm thinking blue, mom's making my dress again."
"Your mom makes great dresses Rory" Louise complimented.
"Ok what color will the limo be?"
"Black" They all chorused.
"Who are you going with?"
"I'm hoping I'm going with Kyle." Paris told her than smiled at Kyle. He nodded to her.
"I'm hoping on going with Jess" Madeline told her and than following Paris's lead did everything she did. She got the same response.
"What about you Rory?" Louise asked
"I'm gonna wait for some offers and if I don't like anyone I'll go solo."
"You just might be able to pull that off with your status." Madeline told her.
"Who's going to be junior homecoming queen?" Paris asked.
"One of us of course." Louise said in a 'duh' tone.
"Which one?" She asked again.
"My vote it for Rory." Louise told her. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Fine with me, I'll beat Summer out of her throne. And I hate that girl"
Everyone laughed along with her.
