Something So Simple
Room 131
Rory-
"We're graduating." Louise sang.
"I never thought I'd see the day." I said quietly. I looked at Paris and Madeline. Paris looked like she was going to have a breakdown, but then again Paris always looked like that. Madeline on the other hand was staring intently at my stomach.
"What if I didn't do my part? What if I left Chilton good, and not great? I'll be the most hated person in all of Chilton. I'll be remembered as the worst editor and president ever." Paris moaned at the though of failure.
"Doubtful." I told her, but she didn't seem to hear.
"And I mean what about our gift? What about our student gift, Francie all ready spent most of the money we had on the Prom locale…Madeline will you pay attention and not stare at Rory's stomach!" Paris screamed.
"Sorry." Madeline whispered.
"Why were you staring at Rory's stomach?" Louise asked intrigued.
"She's gotten a little fat. Sorry Rory." Madeline said.
"Oh yeah, I see that." Louise nodded.
"You might need to join Jenny Craig, Rory" Madeline told me somberly.
"It'll be okay Rory" Louise added sympathetically.
"Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, stop feeling bad for Rory and listen to me." Paris snapped. I smiled at her, but she merely shrugged.
"Paris you're the best editor of the Franklin ever." Madeline told her.
"And everyone already hates you." Louise added supportively.
Feeling the conversation headed for more rocky water, I quickly changed the subject, "So anyone have any prom plans?"
"I'm going because it would be pathetic not to go…" Madeline started.
"But you don't have a date." Louise informed her.
"I know but I still have to go." Madeline insisted.
"Better get a date soon or Brad will be the only one available." Paris told Madeline.
"Yeah you're right." Madeline agreed.
"How about you Louise?" I asked.
"Oh I'm going with Derek Farrabay." Louise said proudly.
"Oh well that's nice…Paris how about you?" I asked awkwardly.
"Me and Jamie are going in a limo. Then we're going out for dinner, because I don't trust Francie with my food." Paris explained.
"That's great!" I exclaimed, truly happy for her.
"I know…how about you?" Paris asked.
"Jess is buying tickets as we speak." I told her.
Jess-
"Two tickets please." I tell the student council representative. She's a large bulky girl with big glasses. She glares at me.
"You hurt Rory." She snaps.
"What?" I ask.
"Don't play dumb. I know what you did to Rory." She tells me.
"I did nothing to Rory." I tell her.
"Yes you did. She's pregnant." The girl screams.
"Maggie, shut up!" I hear someone scream behind me.
"He did it Lane. How can you not be mad? You're her best friend!" Maggie replies.
"I know that. God Maggie, don't state the obvious. Give Jess his tickets." Lane snaps.
"I can't." She tells Lane.
"Why not?" I ask angrily.
"Because it says you have to go to the office." Maggie tells me. I walk away angrily. Why would I have to go to the office? Why, what did I do now? Well-skip, but they never called me down before because of that…
As I enter the principal's office. He looks up at smiles and his evil smile.
"Ah…Mr. Mairiano. Take a seat. Take a seat." He tells me.
I glare at him, "What's going on? I tried to buy prom tickets and they wouldn't let me. They told me to see you."
"You don't seem like a prom boy. Why do you want tickets?" The principal asks.
"My girlfriend wants to go." I mumble.
"Ah well tell your girlfriend, I'm sorry, but only graduating students can go to prom." He grins his wicked grin.
"What? Are you saying I'm not graduating?" I ask.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Did you really think you'd graduate after how many days you missed?" He asked.
"I can make it up! I can! I can do it! Please! I'll go to summer school, just let me go to prom, please." I begged.
"You can't go to Prom not until next year at least." The principal said.
"I can make it all up. I'm smarter than anyone here!" I yelled.
"You'll have to repeat next year." He told me.
"I'm not doing that." I tell him.
"Well then I guess we're done here. If you change your mind let me know." He says and I leave angrily. I bump into Dean.
"So your not graduating…shocker!" Dean says mockingly.
"Oh and who's going out with the girl who's still a Spice Girls fan." I snap, if I don't get away from him soon…
"Well at least, I'm not disappointing Rory by not graduating and running away while she's pregnant." He says and I punch him and then leave. I walk to Luke's. And go inside.
"Jess I need to talk to you." Luke tells me. Damn does he know? Great I'm disappointing Luke.
"Yeah?" I answer irritably.
"Umm…huh how do I tell you this? Your dad's here. He wants to see you. Now you don't have to see him, it's up to you." He explains to me.
"Huh." I say.
"That's all you can say, 'huh' is all you can say?" Luke asks.
"I'm not graduating." I tell him.
"Excuse me…" Luke says.
"I'm not graduating." I repeat.
"We had a deal!" He shouts.
"I know." I say.
"What are you going to do now?" He growls.
"I don't know." I reply.
"You don't know?" Luke repeats.
"I'll figure it out." I insist.
"I won't allow you to leave Rory." He says.
"I have no plans on doing that, thank you. Where's my dad?" I snap.
"At the inn." Luke says.
"At the inn, okay. Bye." I tell him and leave quickly.
I walked into the inn and saw Lorelai. I immediately walk over to her. She'll help me…
"I need a room, Mairiano," I tell her.
"I know your last name and you don't need a room." Lorelai replies.
"Not for me. I'm looking for my father." I tell her.
"Your father…I don't think we have a Mairiano staying here." She says.
"Just check." I tell her.
"Okay. Umm…what do you know? We do have a Mairiano here. Room 134." She tells me smiling.
"Okay thanks." I tell her. And go to Room 134…open the door, and…
AN: Left you with a cliffhanger! You all hate me. Well maybe not, but I would like to point out that I kept my promise from Chapter 9…so don't be too mad…I'm trying to keep this short, but for my full AN if you want see my profile.
