A/N: Thanks for the reviews. And thanks for you guy's ideas (Mrs. Ventimiglia& eaglesfreak) I will probably use them.

No more disclaimers. I'm tired of em.

Rory's class got started on their work but everyone was still wondering the same thing. No one wanted to ask Max about it though. Except for one person…

"Mr. Medina, I have a question."

"Um yes Tristan?" Max said, looking up from his papers, which exposed his black eye even better.

"What the hell happened to your eye? Tristan asked.

"Tristan, go sit down please." Max said, trying not to get angry.

"Okay then." I wonder who would beat up Mr. Medina. Tristan thought to himself.

Rory overheard this and wondered the same thing.

Lorelai walked into Luke's. She tried to ignore that everyone was staring at her, especially Ms. Patty and Babette.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey, do you have any idea why everyone is staring at us?" Luke asked.

"I think it's because they saw you leave my house this morning." Lorelai whispered into his ear which caused everyone to stare even more.

"Crazy, freakin town has nothing better to do than stare at us all day?" Luke asked.

"Apparently so." She said.

"I need coffee." Lorelai said

They talked a little more still trying to ignore the looks they were getting from everyone. As Lorelai went to leave she heard Babette say to Patty "I told you it would happen sooner or later. You owe me." Lorelai sighed knowing they were talking about her and Luke. This is going to be a long day. She thought.

Rory went to Mr. Medina's class the next day, hoping they would get to see their grades today for they major test they had taken. She wasn't worried though. She knew she Ace'd it. When she got into his class he was already passing out the papers.

"Ms. Gilmore, next time you should study your material better." Max said, so everyone in the class could easily hear it.

Rory looked at her paper once, again, and even a third time. The grade didn't change. It was a D. How could it be a D? This is wrong I studied for this, it has to be the wrong grade. I'll just go up and get this fixed after class. It's a mistake.

"It's a mistake." Rory said, after class was over.

"Excuse me Ms. Gilmore?" Max said.

"I'm sorry but I think you gave me the wrong paper."

"Does it have your name on it?" He said

"Well yeah but-" Rory was cut off by Max.

"Then it's not the wrong grade. You will just have to study harder for the next one. Now if you'll excuse me I'm late for a meeting."

With that Rory was left standing left in the empty classroom with a D paper.

She finally got on the bus to go home, with several people giving her odd looks, wondering why she looked so down. Finally she got home hoping her mom would be there.

"Mom?" Rory called out.

"Rory finally it feels like I haven't seen you for days. Did Paris finally get an A plus on all her papers so she's giving you a break from studying?" Lorelai stopped after she looked at Rory. "Hun, what's wrong?"

"I got a D." Rory said.

"What? Oh well it's okay, you probably just should have studied some more what class was it?"

"Mr. Medina's class." Rory said.

"But isn't that the class that you've been studying for like non stop all week?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah and I tried to tell him that but he wouldn't listen. Rory said.

"Oh no." Luke, and the punch. That guy is going to get back at me for that by giving her bad grades? Lorelai thought.

"What?" Rory said.

"Oh…it's nothing." Lorelai lied.

"Wait. Aren't you all still dating?" Rory asked.

"Well… um… no. but we have to talk about it later babe there's something I have to do. Don't worry about the D. I'll be back in just a little bit.

Lorelai had to talk to Max about this. She wouldn't let him just give Rory D's because her and Max broke up. She would call Max from Luke's since she didn't want to do it around Rory.

"Luke, can I use your phone upstairs?" She asked as she walked into the diner.

"Um, sure." He said following her.

Ms. Patty and Babette were still there. "Look their going upstairs so she can "use the phone."" Ms. Patty whispered to Babette.

Lorelai got upstairs, with Luke still following.

"Hey, why don't you just use the phone at your house?" Luke asked, confused.

"I have to call Max and I don't want to do it in front of Rory. He gave her a D on her paper and I think I know why." Lorelai said.

"Why?" Luke asked, before he started to think about it. "Is it because you all broke up!? I'm going over there. I'll get him to change the grade." Luke said starting to walk out the door.

"No! Luke wait, she grabbed his arm, I'm just going to call him here. I think I can fix it." She said.

"Max?" Lorelai said right as someone picked up the phone.

"Lorelai?" He said.

"Why would you give Rory a D? She studied for that test for at least a week straight! You have to change it. I know you gave her a D. It's just because you're mad that we broke up, well that was your choice when you decided to cheat on me with that woman." Lorelai said, starting to get angry.

"The D wasn't because of that. Rory's paper deserved a D. She just needs to work harder on her next test." Max said, still putting on the act and trying to sound sincere.

"Max, you know that's not the reason, the reason is that your mad that I found out you were cheating on me and then Luke punched you, so your trying to get back at us, by giving Rory a D, and that's a really low thing for even you to do." She said.

"Okay, fine, fine. I'll make you a deal. If you keep seeing me I will change Rory's grade." Max said, feeling pretty smart.

"Max, God! I can't believe you would even think I would go along with that, you cheated on me, and I wouldn't just forget about that all of the sudden, and even if I was crazy enough to say yes to that, I still wouldn't because… because… I'm with Luke!" And with that she hung up. Did I just say that? Lorelai thought.

Did I just hear that right? Luke thought, very surprised of what he just heard Lorelai say.

A/N: There was probably some typos in there cause I'm writing this at like midnight, and I'm kind of tired. And this chapter was at least a little longer. Anyway tell me if you liked it. I'm not sure if I should wrap this story up or keep going with it, so tell me what ya'll think.
