Appearances Can Be Deceiving
Disclaimer: I do not own anything having to do with Gilmore Girls. I also do not own anything having to do with Shakespeare's Twelfth Night or the movie She's the Man.
Summary: AU Rogan Story. This is a modern version of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, very similar to the movie She's the Man. Rory and her twin brother agree that she will take his place at the all male boarding school, Illyria. Her assigned roommate is, of course, Logan. Let the fun begin!
Author's Note: Thank you to all those who reviewed. I truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to read my fic and review it. Okay, so it seems as though I should explain a few things about this story before I continue. This story is based partly on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. In that play, the duke, Orsino, finds himself attracted to "Cesario," who is really Viola disguised as a boy. She has a lost twin brother, Sebastian, who arrives in the town, Illyria, sometime later in the play. Eventually, they fall in love. Orsino beats himself up because he thinks he is falling for a guy. That is what is slowly happening to Logan. I used to watch a show called Young Americans on the WB with a similar storyline. There was a girl, Jaqueline, who dressed up as a guy named "Jake" and attended an all-male boarding school. She found herself attracted to one of the guys, Hamilton. Well, Hamilton starts to fall for her, too. He gets upset with himself because he thinks that since he is attracted to a guy, he must be gay. Similarly, Logan is falling for Rory, who is disguised as her twin brother, Chris. He doesn't understand why or how, all he knows is that something is weird about Chris and that for some reason he is drawn to "him." This story is not about Logan finding out he is gay…it is about his soul recognizing its soulmate, no matter what form it is in. Okay, on with Chapter 6…
Chapter 6
Biology
8:00 A.M. First class. Biology.
Logan and Rory walked into their first class. Upon spotting Tristan, Colin, Finn, and Robert, they walked over and sat at the same lab table.
"Damn. Logan, have you checked out Samantha lately," Colin said as a pretty brunette walked into the classroom.
"Wow, she looks hot," Logan said as he looked Samantha up and down.
The girl named Samantha sent Logan a smile with a flirty hair toss.
"Dude, she totally wants you," Colin said.
"I've been trying to hook up with her since freshman year, man. She just keeps flirting with me, and when I ask her out, she says she's busy," Logan said in a frustrated voice.
"Um, why is there a girl in this class?" asked Rory, who was starting to get jealous of the way Logan was looking at the Samantha girl.
"No one told you?" Robert asked incredulously.
"Told me what?" Rory asked.
Finn laughed. "Okay. Here's the story. There is an all-girl boarding school across Illyria's pond. The school and our school are brother and sister schools. We have dances and fairs together, and sometimes we have classes together. I can't believe you didn't know that. It's one of the best things about Illyria."
Rory coughed to cover her shock. "Oh, that is awesome," Rory said.
"And here come two of the hottest girls, mate," Finn said in his Australian accent as a short blonde girl and a tall redhead strolled into the classroom.
"Rosemary, Stephanie, over here," Colin called to the two girls.
"Hello, love," Finn said to the redhead as the two girls approached the lab table. "Come sit next to me."
"Yeah, right, Finn. Why? So you can hit on me the entire class this time," Rosemary retorted.
"Oh, Rosemary. You love it, and you know it," the blonde girl called Stephanie said.
"Shut up, Steph." Rosemary shot Stephanie a look that could kill.
As the two girls took a seat at the lab table, Ms. Alexander, the petite blonde Biology teacher, walked into the classroom. "Please be quiet so that we can get started," she began. "Today we are picking our lab partners."
Ms. Alexander proceeded to walk around the classroom and pulled names out of a hat to see who would be whose lab partner. When she was finished picking, Finn and Rosemary were together, Colin and Stephanie were together, Tristan and Logan were together, Robert and some guy named Michael were together, and Rory and Samantha were together.
"Gilmore, this is so perfect," Logan told Rory. "You're with Samantha. You have to talk to her for me…find out if she likes me."
"I don't know, Logan," Rory said as she tried to cover up her high-pitched, nervous voice.
"Dude, we're roommates…buddies…comrades…You have to do it for me. I'll owe you one."
Rory struggled with her decision. Finally, she said, "Alright. But you owe me."
Author's Note: I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I kind of ran out of stuff to write about in their Biology class. I always hated Biology…I did terrible in the class! Anyway, I hope you like it!
