I sat on the bench in front of the school with a cigarette. I puffed out a couple clouds of smoke. As more people gathered, and entered, I crushed my cigarette and stood up with my hands stuffed in my pockets. I followed everyone else in school. Class wasn't horrible. Lunch was better. But after wasn't.
I stepped out of the doors and breathed in the fresh air. A guy that was at the diner earlier walked up to me. He pulled me into the open. He started taunting me and laughing with his friends. He had blond hair, fairly long. And chapped lips with cracks. And looked a little older than me. He stood couple inches taller than me, like some of the boys in school.
He shoved me and I shoved him right back. I tried punching him, but he dogged and swung at me. I caught his fist and punched him in the gut. He grabbed me and spun around. I punched him again. He backed away and said that he gave up.
I started to walk away when he ran in front of me too fast for me to react. He raised his fist and punched me across the eye. I fell and blacked out.
I woke up dizzily, and everything was blurry. I saw two blurry faces above me. They both had long hair hanging down.
"Where... where am I?" I asked sitting up. All the sudden there was a sharp pain in my eye, and held my hand to it.
"That's a mighty shiner, boy" said Lorelai hovering in front of me.
"Give him air" said the voice of Rory.
"Why am I in your house?" I said looking around the room. Some parts still blurry.
"Because I found you outside school lying on the ground." Rory said. I stared at her for a moment.
"It was that, jackass, who punched me and tried fighting me!" I said wobbly standing upright. "how long was I out?"
"Not long enough." Lorelai said rising to her feet.
"I gotta get "home" before Luke blows up at me for being late." I said scratching my head.
"No your staying here for the night." Rory said standing quicker than anyone I've seen.
"Okay, doc, will I live" I said dryly.
"You'll be fine" she giggled. "Besides, Luke, will understand."
"Sure he will" Lorelai said
"Alright, so what if I did stay, where would I sleep?"
"The floor, or the guest room" Rory shrugged.
"We don't have a guest room" Lorelai corrected.
"Floor it is" I said clapping my hands.
I did sleep on the floor. But before we slept, it was Friday. So they put on a movie and I watched with them. It's a wonder how they stay so skinny with all the takeout they get. I loved the movie they played, it was a classic. So we all ended up sleeping out in the living room. I was last to fall asleep.Me on the floor, while the Gilmores got the couch.
In the morning I woke up with an ice pack on my face. I ripped off the cold and rubbed my numb face. I stood up and stretched. I walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning, sunshine." Lorelai said rushing around the kitchen. I watched her run around and noticed a burning smell.
"Good morning." I said suspiciously. " I smell something burning."
"No!" She said opening the oven, and smoke flowed into the room.
"I thought you couldn't cook?" I asked walking closer.
"She can't" Rory said appearing in the doorway.
"Is that why there's so much take out in this house? And burning"
"The only thing she can make is coffee." Rory said walking closer. She stood beside me. "Even then she still wants coffee from, Luke's."
Lorelai looked over. And Rory and I started laughing. And then she did too softly. We ended up going to Luke's for breakfast. And at the same time, they dropped me off there. And I was their waiter, and some other tables. When they finished, they left. Luke wasn't so mad because they explained the whole thing to him. Not the movie or breakfast part, just the part he Would be mad about.
The rest of the day wasn't so bad. I found another job at Walmart. And I'm not telling Luke about it. He'll tease me so bad.
