Thanks everyone so much for the reviews! I tried to respond to all of them but I know I missed a few. So THANKS TO EVERYONE who reviewed!
It was bright and early on Monday morning and Rory had been up for at least four hours already. She was excited to get her first day of Yale started.
Rory was standing in line at the coffee kiosk when she noticed Logan and Colin coming her way. Logan obviously was trying to talk Colin out of it but apparently Colin wasn't hearing it.
"RORY HAYDEN!" Colin yelled gaining not only Rory's attention but every other person in a twenty foot radius.
"COLIN MCCRAE!" Rory yelled back stepping out of the coffee line and ran to give Colin a hug. Just because Logan had neglected to e-mail and write doesn't mean Colin did.
In fact Colin e-mail every few days and sent pictures of the guys doing stupid things. Sure, The e-mail didn't really talk about anything important it was more of just a 'Hey, How you doing' Kind of thing but it was the thought that counted.
"What happen to you guys last night!" Colin asked pulling back just enough so he could see her face. "We thought you guys were going to lecture us and yell so we split. And Let me tell you I really wish I hadn't do you have any idea how hard it is to climb out a window in a mini skirt?" Rory laughed.
"We'll get back to the length of your skirt in a minute, How about you tell me what classes you have today." Rory smiled, "I am on my way to Sociology, then I have a World History course and then I have to stop by the Paper." She told him.
"So your on the paper? That's good to hear. I'm sure you'll see Logan there once and a while when Mitch makes him." Colin laughed.
"I've already seen Uncle Mitchum there twice. And I've only been on campus for about a week and a half. We had coffee and everything. He said he just likes to frighten Doyle the editor." Rory told him.
Logan watched as Rory talked to Colin like he wasn't even there. It hurt to know that she could ignore his presence.
"Sounds about right, That Doyle guy's in my Lit class, very pushy when it comes to the Hartford elite." Colin commented.
"Yeah, So what are you doing. Skipping class already?" She laughed, The guys had started skipping school in the Fifth grade and old habits apparently die hard.
"No, We all managed to get classes that started after 10 in the morning however at eight thirty we had a bouncing blonde barge into our dorm looking for Finn…What his appeal to women is I'll never know." Colin shook his head.
Rory laughed "It's the accent. I have it on good authority that women love a good accent. And I am going to assume that the blonde is the same one that woke me up at five thirty singing along to the High School musical soundtrack"
"You assumed correctly." Colin confirmed. "We're going to get coffee, You want to come?" Rory glanced at Logan then down at her watch. "Um, Actually I have to get to class. Call me later."
Rory gave Colin another hug and walked in the direction of her class.
Logan had never seen Rory so cold, He was glad to hear she was on the paper though. She still had the nickname Ace, only now she wasn't his Ace anymore. She was just Ace plain and simple.
"Wow, She's changed. She's still her quirky bookworm self but she's changed, starting with the fact that she was slightly distant from you." Colin observed pulling Logan out of his thoughts.
Logan sighed and told him about the conversation he had, had with Rory the night before. Colin looked at the hurt look on Logan's face as he explained.
"Don't worry, man. She'll get over it." Colin tried to assure him.
"I wish you were right, but we both know Rory's mad and the girl can hold a grudge. I still don't think she ever forgave Finn for accidentally ruining her science project in the second grade."
Later that night Finn and Steph were sitting together at the pub debating which channel was better Nickelodeon or Disney, while Logan was chatting up a blonde that seemed very excited about his proposition for her to accompany him back to his dorm.
Steph's phone rang and before she could answer it Finn took it out of her hand. "RORY LOVE WHERE ARE YOU?"
Logan's head shot up and the mention of her name. He wanted to see her but he wanted notice so he had time to get rid of the ditzy blonde next to him.
"I'm at my dorm getting ready for a party, a nice guy invited me to a party and I figured I'd attend. I was calling to see if Steph wanted to join me but it seems as she already had plans."
"That she does." Finn smirked at Steph "Skip the party and come join me and your other long lost friends. I miss you!" Finn yelled dramatically.
Rory sighed she did hate going to parties alone and she knew she wouldn't be able to tare Steph away from Finn. "Though I saw you last night Finn, I guess I'll be there in a little bit."
"Alright, See you soon." Finn said hanging up. "Rory's coming!" Steph asked excitedly. "Yep, She'll be here in a bit."
Steph glanced over giving Logan a expectant look. Logan knew exactly what this look meant, It may have been awhile since he had last seen Steph but the 'You better get rid of the girl or I'll kill you!' look hadn't changed.
"Um, Brandy…" Logan said as he directed the comment at the blonde sitting next to him. "It's Brittany, Actually." She corrected.
"Right, Brittany. I think we should take a rain check tonight. I just remembered I got a early class tomorrow."
"Whatever, Bye." She said getting up and walking out of the pub just as Rory had walked in.
Walking over to the table and sitting down next to Steph and Colin she smiled as everyone just looked at her. "What? Is my make up smeared? Do I have a gigantic zit? Something stuck in my teeth? WHAT!" She asked.
"No, None of that." Colin assured her. "Then why are you all staring at me like I am Boo Radley making his first appearance."
"We're not, It's just that after…well you and … I didn't know if you were….Logan and …" Steph tried to explain but she couldn't find the right wording.
"Ahh, I see. No need to make a bigger deal out of it then it is. I freaked out and I am sorry now can we just skip the awkward silence and out of place, inappropriate comments because right now I need a drink."
"I second that motion." Logan agreed flagging the waitress over. "I'll take scotch." he told her "Lots of scotch." He muttered to under his breath.
"LONG ISLAND ICED TEA PLEASE!" Rory shouted with excitement in her voice. Everyone laughed at her enthusiasm and then proceeded to order their own drinks.
"So…" Colin trailed off awkwardly as the waitress left. "Yeah, So.." Steph added. "Oh my god!" Rory screamed. "You know what! Logan and I are going to go settle this right now!"
She stood up and grabbed his hand, pulling him out of the bar. "Ok." He said once she had stopped. "Look, We've apparently got to talk to each other, not only for us but for the sake of the idiots we call friends."
Logan nodded in agreement, Truth be told he didn't have a clue what to say to her. He wanted to say how sorry he was that he didn't keep in touch but knowing Rory that would inevitably lead to the question of 'Why didn't you?' and he just wasn't prepared to tell her.
"Your right, If we weren't friends we'd have to divide custody of them and whoever gets Finn gets Steph and well who really wants to be stuck with Colin?" Logan joked trying to lighten the mood and get her to smile.
He hadn't seen her whole heartedly smile since he'd been back and he missed how her whole face would light up when she did.
"Your right, I mean Colin's a good guy but he doesn't have a sexy accent like Finn or Have great fashion sense like Steph." Rory laughed.
Silence then engulfed them as they sat on a bench in front of the pub knowing that their friends were watching them through a window.
"I think we should do something to teach our meddling friends a lesson." Rory said suddenly. "What?" Logan was confused he knew they were watching them, He actually found it a little creepy.
"Kiss me." Rory stated. "Excuse me?" Logan choked out. He was either in parallel universe or he needed to get his hearing checked either way he was shocked.
"If we kiss and they see it then walk in there like nothing ever happened then it will drive them crazy not knowing. One of them will ask because none of them have self control and then we can use it against them that they were spying." Rory explained.
Logan stared at Rory who was looking at him expectantly "Oh my god your serious." Logan stated as he noted how serious she was.
"I'm not going to lie you did hurt me. Just like I am sure what I said to you last night hurt you but it's in the past. Right now lets work together to get our friends to back off and we can deal with our Dawson's Creek melodrama later." Rory told him but before he could respond she leaned forward and gently pressed her lips against his.
It didn't take Logan long to respond, She depended the kiss running her tongue over his lips wanting entrance. As soon as he granted it he felt her tongue exploring his mouth.
Just as he was starting to gain control of the situation she pulled away and gave him a small smile.
"You sure have gotten better at that compared to the first time we kissed." Logan told her smirking causing her to blush.
"Yep, Same old Rory. Blushing at the most innocent statements." Logan thought to himself smiling.
Flashback:
A Eleven year old Rory sat in the grass just looking down and playing with blades grass. "What's wrong?" a voice from behind her asked.
"Hi Logan, Nothing's wrong." Rory said quietly not looking up to see him.
Logan who was thirteen sat next to her "Ror, You can lie to me all you want but I know there's something wrong. One because Lorelai called you in for cake about fifteen minutes ago and you still haven't came up to the house. Which is strange considering I've learned never to separate a Gilmore from her baked goods. And Two because your sitting in the Grass and you hate nature." he reasoned.
"It's just you know how I kissed Billy Rosales during Truth or Dare? Well Paris Geller said that it doesn't count as a real kiss because he was forced to and no guy would do it because he wanted to." Rory confided sadly.
Logan smiled she was eleven and he was thirteen and though it was only two years it seemed like there was still a lot she had to learn. She wasn't aware that in a few years guys were going to be all over her.
"Well, She's wrong. Guys are going to want to kiss you because they want to. Lot's of guys infact." Logan assured her.
"No, They won't. Billy Rosales will be my first and Only kiss." Rory wrinkled her nose at the thought. Which made Logan smile.
"Ror?" He said gently getting her attention. She looked up at him with sad blue eyes and he leaned down to and kissed her gently.
They pulled away at the same time and her eyes were no longer a sad but bright and excited. "Thank you Logan." She smiled. "Now lets go get some cake!" Rory grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hill to the house.
:End Flashback
"Yes, Well. You've improved yourself Huntzberger." Rory smiled.
"OH MY GOD THEY AREN'T GOING TO DO WHAT I THINK THEY…." Steph screeched. "Yep, They are." Finn confirmed.
"They just kissed. They couldn't even look at each other and now they are making out! This doesn't make sense!" Colin tried to reason.
"Rory has never been one for logic, Infact she's anti-logic." Steph stated. "Oh shit! Act normal here they come!" Finn said as they all rushed back to their table.
They all stayed at the pub for few hours. Steph, Colin and Finn all pretended that they didn't say anything and Rory and Logan pretended that nothing happened.
At the end of the night everyone departed to their respected rooms. Rory walked into her bedroom and shut the door.
After changing into her pajamas she laid on the bed. "What they hell did I just do?" she thought to herself. "Kissing him was probably the stupidest thing I could have ever done." she chastened herself.
"Letting myself get close to him again is a mistake. He's just going to leave or hurt me again. I can't handle that again." She said out loud as she let tears fall down her face.
Steph listened through the other side of the door. Her heart sank knowing that she couldn't do anything for her friend. This was something she had to figure out on her own.
Haha! Betcha didn't see that coming! Don't worry I have a reason for all of this and all will be revealed in time, Patience is a virtue.
It's the weekend so thank god, I get a break from school. But not the homework no, My teachers feel the weekend is perfect for extra worksheets and textbook pages to read. But I am already starting the next chapter so no worries.
Poll: Should I have Honor added to the mix( She won't be like on the show, On the Show she annoys me, but my version of her.)? I have a few Ideas of how to add her but if it will complicate the story line to much I won't add her. Please tell me what you think!
