Chapter 2: Leaving him Gilmorized
As the two girls tried to stuff the last set of shopping bags in the back seat, they climbed into the car and headed towards Yale. "Good thing we didn't take your car or else we would have no place to put all our pretty new stuff," Emma said smiling knowing they bought enough clothes to last them through the fall and winter seasons. "Are you sure that I made the right choice about the pink suit and not the blue?"
"We went over this a million times, the pink bikini definitely gives you more cleavage." Rory just rolled her eyes. "Are you sure that the black suit is right for me?"
"Put giant wings and heels on you and you can strut down the catwalk as a Victoria Secret Angel. Trust me, Chase Keller won't know what hit him." Emma wanted to give Rory a boost of self-confidence, taking notice that when she said the name 'Chase Keller,' Rory blushed and gave a strong smile of confidence. "And plus, we're going to be around the college crowd, and the black suit definitely gives you a more mature look than your baby blue tankini suit. I can't wait to 'til Steph's Back to School Pool Party. This will be our first time hanging with her outside of social functions."
"Stop with the 'Chase' thing already. I don't see him in that way anymore. He and I are just friends now, and you know he's not going to be there. He staying in Harvard that weekend."
"I know you don't see him that way, but come on Rory, the guy hasn't gotten over you. He only says that he has so that you won't act weird around him. Face it hun, you're just too hard to let go of."
"Stop it, that's not true—," Rory was about to continue but Emma cut in.
"Oh please, every guy that doesn't want to only get in your pants ends up head over heels for you. What does Lorelai call it again?" Emma paused for a quick moment as she was trying to remember, "Oh, I remember, Gilmorized. Chase is one of the many boys at Chilton that has been 'Gilmorized.'"
"I can't help it if I have the Gilmore charm. I learned from my mom." Rory responded jokingly. "And Chase does not still have feelings for me. It was winter break last year that we were together, and before he graduated, we both decided that it didn't feel right, that we were better off as friends."
"You mean, YOU decided that you lost feelings for the guy, and only had platonic feelings for him, leaving him 'Gilmorized', and heartbroken." Rory had this streak of pushing guys away. It was Jess who started this trend. Rory and Jess, were a hot and heavy item in the summer going into her sophomore year. They would spend their times in her library discussing literature. They had a lot in common. She was falling hard for him, until the end of summer came and he disappeared. Luke, the diner owner in Stars Hollow and uncle to Jess, said that he left for California. He left without saying anything, not even a goodbye to Rory. This left her heartbroken. Ever since then, she would always keep a distance, and refuse to get so close to one boy.
"Well, I did bring it up, but he agreed. And anyways, I'm not the heartbreaker here. What about you? You have every guy ogling you every time you walk down the hall. When you're not with Kyle, you can tell any boy to jump, and they'll just respond with 'How high?'"
"Well you know what they say, 'With great power, comes great responsibility.' And I'd like to think that I use my powers very responsibly." She said with a smirk.
"Oh, if you call responsible asking Mason to bring you coffee every morning."
"Hey, that benefits both of us," Emma grinned proudly knowing that her and Rory are going to have the best Senior Year at Chilton sans boys.
The two Chilton princesses came to a comfortable silence as the radio played in the background. The music was interrupted with Eliza's voice, "In approximately 100 feet, turn right onto Elm Street."
"Thanks Eliza." Emma said with a grin knowing they were near their destination. "We're here. Which parking lot is closer to Berkeley? I wonder if Preston's roommates are hot?"
Rory rolled her eyes, "I'm not even going to let you go there. His roommates are Colin, Finn and Logan, the infamous playboy trio, well minus Colin now, since he's with Steph. You don't want to be one of their many, Em. You're better than that, no matter how cute they end up being."
"I heard they're gorgeous. I heard that all three of them conquered most of the girls at Grotton. They made their way over to Andover, but never made it to Chilton since they got sent to boarding school their junior year."
"Oh, how tragic." Rory responded with a sarcastic tone.
Rory and Emma parked, and headed towards Berkeley Hall. They both walked slowly towards the hall, while taking in everything around them. Emma was trying to scope out all the guys that were walking by, carrying boxes and luggage for move-in day. Rory just breathe in the college atmosphere. She loved the old college buildings and the history behind it. Her college goal was to go to Harvard, but Yale was coming up close to second.
Right as they walked in to Berkeley hall, loud music filled the air. "Oh, where's the party at?" Emma yelled, while throwing her hands up in the air like she's ready to get her groove on. Just as Emma finished her sentence, a tall dark haired guy came between Rory and Emma and put both his arms over both girl's shoulders. "Come with me love, the party's in my room," the guy said in an Australian accent.
"Actually, we're looking for—" Rory tried to stop the guy from leading her into a random college guy's room, but was relieved to find a familiar face in that room. "Preston!" She said escaping from under the arms of the tall dark haired guy to give Preston a hug. "What's with the bachelor pad?" pointing to the brown leather couches and the flat screen TV on the wall.
Preston looked at Emma, still under the guy's arm, and headed towards her to pull her away from him and gave her a hug. "Well, they're my roommates. Their parents had sent movers to set up all this leather furniture and entertainment system in here. My room however is filled with unpacked boxes, waiting for you two so you guys could help me set up."
"Preston mate, aren't you going to introduce me to these lovely ladies?" The guy said with his exotic accent, while smiling at Rory.
Rory just returned a weak smile. "This here is my little sister, Emma, and her best friend Rory. Rory, Emma, this is Finnegan Rothschild."
"Love, you can call me Finn," he said with a grin on his face while walking towards Rory and giving her a gentle kiss on her hand. He walked over to Emma and did the same.
Preston noticed the look on Finn's face as he bent over to kiss Emma's hand, and instantly recognized that Finn was trying to charm the girls. He recognized it because he too had used this charm to get the ladies. "Ok you two, lets start unpacking," he said as he dragged the two girls into his room. He shut the door behind him and they began to unpack.
"So, how are the others?" Emma asked curiously. "Finn is such a doll. And is that accent hot or what?"
Preston scoffed, "No way, nah uh. You two are not allowed to date college boys, especially my roommates. And what about Kyle anyways?"
"Kyle is old news, he's hooking up with that slut Sharon. But… I call dibs on Finn."
"Em, you can't call dibs on Finn…" Rory responded firmly.
"That's right, I can't. I still haven't met Logan yet. Doesn't matter cause Finn's hot and exotic, and—"
Preston interrupted, "And, he's my roommate, so don't even think about it."
"Boo." Emma gave Rory a pout. Rory just gave a soft giggle. Emma continued, "So what's the third one like, we already know Colin, how's Logan?"
"All three of them are pretty cool guys. Since all of their stuff were moved in, and after mom and dad help me moved in the boxes, we just started talking about the good ole high school days, the past summer, and swapping stories and such."
"They're not snotty are they?" Rory wanted to confirm if her predictions were true.
"Nah, their just living life to the fullest, before their preordained life kicks in. We're all heading to the pub later, you two want to go?"
"YES!" Emma was careful not to sound too excited so her brother wouldn't worry about her and her partying ways.
"Sure," Rory responded curious to see the guy that she was so quick to judge.
"Ok, that's the last box. Rory and I are going to grab some crisp, meaty tacos at Hector's. Emma informed Preston.
"Yes, we like our tacos crisp," Rory quickly stated.
"And meaty."
"Dirty," said the two girls with grins on their faces. They just looked at each other and started laughing. As they walked out of Preston's room, quietly to not wake a tall Australian napping on the couch, Rory whispered, "We'll bring you back some meaty tacos."
They were near the parking lot when Emma turned around and started heading towards the room again. "Shoot, I forgot my keys. I'll be quick, I'll meet you at the coffee cart." Emma ran back towards Berkeley building. Just as Rory turned around to walk towards the coffee cart, she stopped to notice a cute blond boy waiting in line. She didn't notice she was standing in the middle of the pathway, just staring at the cute blonde until she notice that he was looking at her with a smirk on his face. I bet all the girls fall for that smirk. I know I would, Rory thought to herself. She was pushed out of her daze when Emma came from behind and linked arms with her. "Are you deciding whether or not to get coffee, because in my 11 years of being best friends with you, when have you ever had to think about getting coffee? So, lets get you some coffee."
"Uh… I'm… um… not really in the mood for coffee. Lets just go." Rory just started walking fast towards the parking lot, dragging a confused Emma along side with her.
"Rory! Ow, too fast, I can't run in these Jimmy Choos. Why are you so quick to get away anyways?"
"It's nothing, I'm just hungry." Rory said still dragging Emma along with their arms still linked, both not looking back to see a smirking blonde starring at two girls walk towards the parking lot.
The blonde boy got his coffee and headed towards Berkeley. He went into Preston's room and sat on the couch, waking Finn up.
"What's with the smirk Logan?" Colin said as he came out of his room.
Preston sat on the baraclounger, as Finn sat up on the couch giving room for Colin to sit.
"I've been at Yale for only a few hours, and already I have a little fan club."
"Any red head mates?" Finn asked.
"No, a cute brunette." Logan stared intently at the blank flat screen knowing that he'll probably never see her again and that he will forget all about her. That's how most girls were to him; they come and go shortly after they have a night of fun. Little did he know that this brunette would soon have him Gilmorized. "Lets bowl."
"Ok." Colin said as he reached for a drawer to get out four Wii controls. "But Finn, you better tie it to your wrist tightly this time, we can't have you throwing around the control at the plasma again."
