So it's finals week right now, and I am done with finals! My last winter quarter of my college career. So I have about a week and a half of spring break so I am going to try to update a lot! This will be my last spring break of college so I think I might live it up. I'm thinking Malibu and Vegas. We'll see. Sorry I'm ranting. But I am totally addicted to Grey's Anatomy! I watched all of season two in 2 days! And I just caught up to the recent episode in one week! Crazy huh! So that's what I've been doing instead of updating (sorry). I love Meredith and McDreamy. McDreamy is hot! And one last thing! 300, the best movie ever, and Gerard Butler is super yummy! If you guys haven't seen it yet, you should watch it! (And you get to see his butt! Haha) ok here is the next chapter, I hope you like it.

Emma woke up to the sound of someone's feet shuffling on the carpet. She looked at the clock that says 6:37am. She sat up in bed, still very sleepy; she hears Rory's cheerful voice fill the room. "Morning sunshine."
"Rory, why are you up so early? And dressed? Oh no. I'm not going an hour early just so we could pick the best seat in the classroom. I refused to arrive first, again," Emma said as she lay back down and pulled the covers over her head to block the sun from shining.
"Come on, it's tradition. Aren't you excited, this is going to be our last, first day of Chilton."
"Yes, our senior year. Class hasn't even started and I think I'm already coming down with senioritis."
Rory walked over to the bed, from her vanity table, and pulled the sheets to reveal Emma in a scrunched up ball position. "Oh you are not, get up."
"Mean," she glared, and got out of bed in defeat.
After the two got dressed in their Chilton uniform, their skirts hemmed a little higher than when they bought it four years ago, with Emma's being slightly shorter than Rory's, they headed out the door, when they heard Lorelai's voice. "Turn around you two, I need to document your last first day of high school. Say cheese. Why is it cheese? Why can't people just say 'smile'? Because have you looked at yourself when you say cheese, it doesn't make your face smile, it makes you look like you're awkwardly showing your teeth. And…"
"Mom, we have to go."
"Ok, smile." The girls stroke a pose and headed out the door. They stopped by Luke's to get their regular school day morning fix, four large coffees and four pastries of the day, today happened to be doughnuts. They got their breakfast, and headed out to school in Rory's car.
20 minutes later, the two Chilton princesses arrived at their castle. Rory parked her car in her usual parking spot next to white BMW. The two girls walked got out of the car, and walked over to the to the two girls standing next to the BMW. "Hey Madeline, hey Louise," Rory greeted, as she handed each of the two girls, coffee and the bag carrying doughnuts.
"Thanks Ror," both girls said.
Madeline Lynn and Louise Grant were best of friends. The four of them together formed the most popular girls of Chilton. Madeline was a petite blonde who was known as the vixen of the group. Louise has dark short hair, and was known as gossip queen of the group, and of the school. Girls at school would be envious of the group. All the boys at school (and from other schools) admired them. They were always kind and generous. They were sexy, intelligent, classy girls that no one could hate, everyone except Sharon and her clique.
Sharon Campbell, Mandy Jeffers, and Ruthie Pewter, formed the second popular clique at Chilton in shadow of Rory and her friends, although they think themselves as the top. The three are of Hartford Elite society as well, and act the part. They are the snobbiest of the snobs. They walk around with their nose in the air, thinking they are better than everyone. The girls are decent to look at, but they are vain. Their vanity makes them less attractive, but some boys do pursue them, since they are well known to be easy. To everyone at Chilton, they were nicknamed 'The Mrs." Since its the first letters of the three girls names, and the fact that they will eventually become a Hartford trophy wife.
The two cliques don't get along. It mainly started at the DAR garden tea party. Sharon brought her porcelain doll, and was making fun of Rory and Emma because they didn't bring dolls. Sharon always thought that they didn't belong in the Hartford Elite.
"You guys ready?" Rory asked excitedly looking at the enchanted brick building before them.
"Can't wait," Emma said sarcastically.
"Let's go," Madeline said, leading the group towards the entrance of school. "Ok, update," she said, when they stopped at their locker. The girls now formed a circle around their lockers.
Louise began, "Ruthie's mom caught her dad in bed with his secretary, but can't do anything about it, since there is a stone carved pre-nup involved. And at the last social function, he decided to bring the secretary instead of the wife, and there has been talk ever since."
"Interesting, that's what you get when you sign up for a canoe with a playboy like Thomas Pewter. Then the playboy jumps into another canoe, leaving poor Mrs. Pewter paddling in circles," Madeline explained.
"Well they all can't be in kayaks like us." Rory responded.
"We are kayaks, hear us roar," Emma said proudly. The girls just burst into laughter.
After the laughter died down, Emma asked, "So what else? Who's on the market?" They all turned their attention towards Louise.
"Let's see, Landon dumped Claudia over July Fourth weekend at the Cape, because she got too clingy. He is currently not dating anyone, and very cute, and I call dibs. I'm working on him." Louise smiled while continuing, "Summer broke up with Tristan when she moved to California. So look out Rory, he'll be trying to win your heart again, now that Chase is at Harvard." Rory just glared at her, tired of hearing about Chase's non-platonic feelings for her. "And well, there's Kyle," Louise continued hesitantly seeing Emma's face drop. But she knew the next part would make her feel better. "And I already told you that he hooked up with Sharon last week. But I just found out that Sharon's performance got bad ratings. Kyle didn't want to see her anymore, but she kept on calling, and bugging him, until Saturday at Kyle's Kick Back—"
"What happened at the Kick Back?" Rory asked.
"Well apparently, Sharon kept close to him all night, and it bugged him. They got into a loud argument right in the middle of the floor, and he shouted at her, that she's bad in bed. She was in shock for a minute, and screamed that he has a small dick, and ran out of his house. And everyone heard. It's the talk of school right now." Emma just giggled.
The bell rang, and the girls went their separate ways to their respected classes. Rory sat in her first class, English and pulled out her notebook. She didn't notice the blonde boy that sat behind her until she heard his voice. "Hey Mary. Miss me?"
"Hi Tristan," she responded still looking straight at the blank chalkboard.
"Or should I say Magdalene," he responded with a smirk.
This comment made Rory whip her head around and glare at the smirk on his face. "Tristan!" She said in a low volume voice, while slapping the side of his arm. Tristan DuGrey became Rory's best guy friend their freshman year. After he teased her and tried to get her, and failed, he became a very important support system in her life. They would confide in each other. He wanted to send an army to California when he heard what Jess did to her.
She turned towards the front of the classroom, but turned back once more to say, "Hey Tris, I'm sorry about Summer."
"Thanks, it's cool though, cause now I can give all my time and energy to you."
"Lucky me," she said sarcastically, and turned her attention towards Mr. Porter.
At lunch time, the girls were sitting at their usual table in the center of the lunch room. Their conversation was interrupted with the conversation Sharon and her friend's conversation were having while walking by slowly. They were speaking loudly, obviously to make sure that Rory and the girls heard them.
"So, Vanderbilt's pool party is this weekend, should be fun," Sharon explained while glaring at their table. "A-Lister only I hear. No other high schoolers will be there except us. No one is worthy enough," was the last thing the girls heard before the bell rang.
The girls got up from their table, "Can you believe her? Ugh, she bugs." Emma complained. "And why would Steph invite them, she doesn't even like Sharon, ever since Sharon threw herself at Colin."
Rory replied, "Steph's mom probably mentioned the party to Sharon's mom at the DAR luncheon, and there's no way working around that. You two going to go?" She asked Madeline and Louise.
"Of course. Just to see the look on Sharon's face when she finds out that she's not the only one worthy from Chilton to attend an event thrown by the Vanderbilt's," Louise said with a grin.
"And don't forget the college guys," Madeline added.
Rory just rolled her eyes, "Lets get to class." And the girls left their separate ways to their different classes.
The first week of school was filled with the Franklin, for Rory and Louise, and dance practice for Emma and Madeline. Lunches were filled with ignoring Sharon's loud bragging voice.
Saturday rolled around fast. Rory met up with the Emma, Madeline, and Louise in Hartford at the spa to get their nails done. It was around 1:30 pm when they showed up at Steph's house. The invitation said 11:30am, but they knew that it was on Steph's time, which meant 12:30 – 1:00pm. She always took her time to get ready.
They walked into the back patio where there were tables set up, and a chef standing at the barbeque grill. As they walked past the tables towards the large pool, Stephanie walked up to them wearing a red embroidered halter bikini with a low-rise mesh pulled down skirt. She gave all the girls hugs. "Hi girls, the changing rooms are that way," she said pointing to the left side of her backyard. "It's very casual, so whatever you want to eat, just tell Marceau the chef, and he'd be happy to grill any of your requests. The bar is over there," pointing to the right side of her back yard. "The lounge chairs are there," pointing to circle the pool. "Just make sure you put a towel on it so people will know it's taken. The boys are over there." She said pointing towards the right corner of the pool at the lounge chairs where there were four boys and three girls chatting. "And please, get Sharon and her posse away from Colin. That girl just can't get a clue. Why did mom have to blab about the party? Ok, have fun girls, I'll meet you once everyone shows up, so I can stop greeting." Steph walked away when she saw more guest arrived.
The girls walked left, straight towards the cabanas to change into their swim wear. Louise walked out first in a jeweled camo halter bikini and low-rise hot shorts that was embellished with a belt. As she walked out, she slipped on her Dolce shield style sunglasses. Next walked out Madeline, in a white bandeau top that is embellished with thin light and dark green straps, a white low-rise bikini bottom, and her Prada aviator sunglasses. Emma came out shortly after Madeline, in a peach dotted heart triangle top, a heart low-rise bottom with a heart-shaped wire in the middle the back of her bottom, and her Dior sunglasses. Rory was the last one to come out. She came out with what looks like a black triangle bikini top under a turquoise smocked dress that would bring out her blue eyes if it wasn't for her Chanel sunglasses.
"Rory dear, what are you wearing?" Emma asked.
"Its my mom's. She let me borrow it."
Emma just rolled her eyes, wanting Rory to show of her new bikini. "Rory, you need to slut it up sometimes." The girls all giggled at Emma's comment except Rory. Emma tried to pull the dress down but had no luck as Rory walked towards the boys. The three girls just followed her, as she was the leader of the pack.
Preston, Colin, Logan, and Finn were lying in their lounge chair in that order, wearing only their swimming trunks. Sharon, and Ruthie were sitting at the end of Logan and Colin's lounge chair trying to flirt with the boys, while Ruthie was sitting at the edge of the pool with her feet in the water. Colin, Logan, and Finn were trying their best to ignore the girls, and answering with brief answers if a question was asked. The girls were just yapping away, oblivious to their annoyed face. Finn turned to Logan and whispered, "Look who just arrived." Logan glanced towards the entrance of the patio, and saw five girls standing by the steps, with the table area behind them, one of them being Stephanie. Logan smirked.
Sharon and Mandy had their backs to the entrance and didn't notice their rivals walk in. Ruthie was of course, just having fun splashing her feet around and failed to notice as well. Sharon saw Logan smirk and thought that he was enjoying her company.
Five minutes later all the boys' attention was towards the cabanas. One by one, their attention focused on each girl who walked out in their bikinis, Louise, Madeline, Emma, and then Rory. When Logan saw Rory in her turquoise dress, he was slightly disappointed to see that she was covered up. The boys had all sat up from there lying position to see the girls headed their way, with Rory leading.
As Logan sat up, Sharon took this as Logan's interest in her. She asked him a question, but he didn't reply. "Logan, do you want to or not?" Logan heard this, but in a muffled far away volume, his eyes never leaving the sight of Rory walking towards them. He stuttered, "Want to what?" Still never taking his eyes off of Rory.
"Ugh, What are you looking…" she said slowly as she turned her head around to see Rory leading three girls in bikinis, their way. She was stunned into silence. She tapped Mandy on the shoulders, and Mandy to Ruthie's. The three girls stood up in front of the guy's lounge chair, with their arms crossed.
As Rory got nearer to the group, her confidence increased and her strut and facial expression showed it. She stopped merely a feet away from Sharon as the three girls stopped beside her, forming a line blocking Sharon's pathway. Rory and the girls just stared at the three that was standing before them with their arms crossed. "Excuse me girls, you're in our way," Rory said sweetly with confidence. Everyone around them had their attention turned towards the two girl cliques, hoping it would turn into a girl fight.
"What are you doing here?" Sharon said with attitude as she glared at the Rory.
"We were invited… unlike someone, whose mom had to beg Steph's mom for their daughter's invitation," Rory said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"You think just cause you got an invitation, you fit in around here? Let's face it, you and your friends don't belong in Hartford Elite."
"Just because we don't plan on getting our M-R-S's at Harvard to become a Stepford wife like you three doesn't mean we don't belong? But wait…" Emma just brought her pointer finger to her chin, in a mock thought process, "Doesn't… Doesn't Stepford wives have to be good in bed? Looks like you have to find a different career path."
A long 'Oh,' came from everyone watching. Sharon just looked around at the audience they had. She was too embarrassed to think of a response. She just glared at the girls, and motioned to the other two girls behind her to follow her to the patio tables.
"Well played Levington," Colin said as the girls occupied the lounge chair to the left of them, letting them occupy the center of the pool. Once the girls set their towels down, they walked over to the boys. The guys stood up off their chairs and Rory and Emma gave each guy a hug. As Rory hugged Logan, she noticed how toned his body was and how hot he looked.
"Maddy, Louie, you already know Preston. This is Colin, Logan and Finn. Guys, this is Madeline and Louise."
After the introductions, the guys went to the bar to get the girls drinks. As soon as Logan got a scotch on the rocks for himself, and a margarita for Rory, he headed to Rory's lounge chair where she was currently lying, still, in her turquoise dress. He handed her the drink and sat down on her chair next to her knees. "Thanks," as she sat up and adjusted the chair to a 90-degree angle.
"So, school's good?"
"It's the first week and I'm already swamped with paper stuff and college apps. It's pretty hard."
"Well, it's supposed to be. It's grooming you for life, making you an upstanding citizen."
"A God-fearing Christian."
"And a habitual recycler." The two just stared at each other and smiled.
Rory was the first to glance away, and turned her attention at her three friends in the pool with Finn and Preston. Preston had Madeline on his shoulders, while Emma was on Finn's shoulders. The girls were trying to knock each other down into the water. Logan turned his attention towards the pool and grabbed Rory's hand and pulled her up, as he got up.
"Wait." She knew where he was taking her so she slowly slipped her dress over her head. Logan watched her as she slowly pulled the dress over her head, revealing a black triangle top and a black-banded scoop bottom, embellished with a gold metallic detail with hammered texture.
Logan just stared intently as more and more of her body was revealed, her smooth toned body and her silky porcelain skin. She took off her sunglasses and tossed them on the pile of towels. She walked towards Logan. They were both standing near the edge of the pool, looking down at their friends. "Looking good Gilmore." Rory just turned to Logan and smiled. Logan smirked, and immediately pushed Rory in. She screamed as she fell right in. As soon as Rory reached the surface of the water and met Logan's smirking face while he was bended down in a squatted position. "And even better wet," he said for it to have a double meaning.
She was holding on to the edge of the pool with both hands, and said, "You too Huntzberger," before grabbing his wrist and flipping him inside the pool. Once he surfaced, he just saw Rory swimming towards the shallow end of the pool, where their friends were. Logan followed.
"It's about time you two got in," Louise said. "Ok, Rory's on top of Logan."
"Dirty," Emma said as she grinned towards Rory. Rory just gave her an evil glare. Logan just smirked when he noticed Rory's face blushed at what Emma said. Rory then climbed onto Logan's shoulders and the competition began. Rory was the first to fall, and when she fell forward, in front of Logan, Logan caught her in a carrying position. "Nice catch." She said as she smiled at him. They were locked in deep eye contact, until Madeline's voice broke their concentration. "We win! You guy's owe us dinner." Rory escaped Logan's arms and walked up the pool stairs, and out of the pool. Logan was just starring at her wet body, her toned back and her cute apple bottom. "Don't go there Huntzberger. She doesn't date our kind," Preston said as he walked past him and out of the pool. This left Logan confused, but still smiling at the perfect view of Rory's backside. I don't even know if I want to date her, but she sure is…special.
He exited the pool and joined the group as they dried themselves with a towel. Then they headed towards the patio tables. As soon as Rory was dry enough, she slipped on her dress and made her way towards Marceau.
Steph joined them at the tables where they were eating burgers and steaks. The rest of the party was spent drinking, laughing, and more pool competitions. Rory and Logan were involved in many flirting banter.
When the girls were finished changing out of their bikinis, Rory walked out and glanced over to the corner where their group previously occupied. She saw Sharon tiptoed to give Logan a kiss on the cheek, and then walked away seductively. Logan just gave a slight smirk, and turned to gather his things on the chair and headed towards the exit where the guys were waiting for him. No, you don't want anything serious with this guy, he's just fun to hang out with. Rory had to remind herself not to fall for this guy; it wasn't so hard when she saw him flirting with other girls. She decided then to just go with the flow, and not expect anything from him.
The girls walked towards the guys and said their good-byes. Rory gave Preston, Colin and Finn hugs. She gave Logan a slightly longer hug, and a short kiss on the cheek. She whispered in his ear, "See you around Huntzberger." She mirrored his smirk and walked towards the driveway. The four girls packed into Emma's car and drove off.
When the car was off the Vanderbilt's property, Louise leaned forward towards Rory in the passenger seat, "What was that Gilmore?"
"What was what?" Rory responded innocently.
"What was with the kiss?"
"Oh, it was innocent."
"You didn't give any of the other guys kisses," Emma said.
"Well none of them were flirting with Rory the entire time, except for one Logan Huntzberger," Madeline said.
"You guys, it was innocent. It was just an innocent flirtatious gesture. That's all," Rory said.
The girls were all surprised by how nonchalant she was. The Rory they knew was not a flirtatious game playing kind of girl.
"I'm liking this new side of Rory," Madeline said.
"It's not new, it was just hidden." The girls just laughed, and headed back to Emma's house where they left their cars to carpool in Emma's car.
Did you like it? You can see the bathing suits in my profile. There will be plenty of Rory and Logan action on the way, so don't worry. It's just so much fun in the beginning, the 'crush' stages. Please comment and let me know how fun crushes are. )
