Luke waited until he was sure she had hung up the phone, and even then he wasn't entirely sure of what he wanted to say.
"Your with Luke huh?" Luke asked, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, just let me explain first. I think he will quite bugging me to go out with him again if he thinks I'm with you." Lorelai said.
This might not be so bad. He thought. "Keep going."
"So if I pretended to be with you then I think he would stop giving Rory bad grades, move on and stop trying to get me back, because I'm probably going to run into him once and a while, like at Rory's school, or just run into him some other time, if he knows he has you to deal with, and he has to be worried about getting another black eye, again thank you for that by the way then I think he will just move on and forget about it." Lorelai said, hoping Luke would agree.
"Alright… so what do I have to do?" Luke asked, trying to find the catch.
"Probably nothing." She said.
"Probably?" Luke asked.
"I don't know. If he comes back here again, to try and apologize for cheating on me, or get me back, or whatever stupid reason, we can just act like were together."
"Okay." He said.
"Okay?" Lorelai said, excitedly.
"Yeah." He said, then she ran over and gave him a hug, which again lasted to long for just friends.
"And he probably won't even come back." Lorelai said.
The next day Rory went to school, after her mom had told her everything, including why she got the D. Now Rory was really dreading Mr. Medina's class, her mom had also told her about the her and Luke pretend dating, which even if neither of them would admit it, she knew they both loved the idea.
Finally it was time. She walked into the classroom, most of the kids were already there. She saw Max, standing up from his desk. His eye had gotten better, but still very visible.
"Okay, everyone let me remind you that we have parent teacher conference tomorrow, and all the students parents are required to come, just one parent can come or both." He continued on but Rory had stopped listening.
No! Parent teacher conference? How could I forget that? Mom's going to have to see him. This day just keeps getting worse! Rory thought.
After the rest of a very long day, Rory went home to tell Lorelai about the Parent Teacher Conference.
"Hey babe, your early." Lorelai said.
"Yeah we didn't have to do much work on the newspaper today, so I left early. And I think I should just tell you right now I have bad news… Max bad news." She said, hesitantly.
"What?" Lorelai asked hoping it wasn't to bad.
"Parent teacher conference, tomorrow. Rory said.
"No!"
"Sorry. I just remembered it and all the parents are required to go, but you might at least be able to keep him off your back because he said both parents could come, and I was thinking Luke would pass for a second parent?" Rory said, hoping that would make it a little better.
"I guess your right, if I can get Luke to come it might at least keep Max off my back." Lorelai said.
The next morning after begging Luke to be her pretend boyfriend and come to the conference with her, he finally agreed.
The day rushed by and then it was time. Lorelai walked into the classroom with Luke straight behind her.
Right before they went in Lorelai grabbed Luke's hand. "Just go along with it." She said.
"Mr. Medina? Is it time for us to come in?" Lorelai asked.
It took a while for Max to answer because Luke was glaring at him.
"Um, yes now's fine." He said.
It felt like they were in that room forever, and it didn't help that Max kept getting off topic.
Finally they were done and Luke and Lorelai hurried out the door, eager to get away from Max.
"Well that went horrible." Lorelai said.
"What? I thought it was alright." Luke said, not understanding
"Do you really think he bought that we were a couple?" Lorelai asked.
Then Luke took hold of her hand. "That better?" He asked.
"Max probably can't even see us." Lorelai said.
Then she rushed to the car with Luke following behind her.
"Hey, wait what are you doing?" Luke asked, wondering why she was running 90 miles an hour all of the sudden.
"C'mon." She said. Lorelai drove fast home and when they got to the dinner she practically had to push Luke up the stairs.
"Okay, what are you doing? You need to quit having so much caffeine." Luke said as he was being pushed upstairs.
Finally when they got up to his apartment Lorelai spoke. "He didn't buy that we were a couple. I already told you that. I think we need to practice for next time."
"Lorelai, c'mon we probably won't even see him again and… wait. What do you mean by practice?" He asked.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter, that was like the most I've gotten . Please review for this one, and I don't know if I've already said this but I'm afraid that I'm gonna run out of new ideas for stuff to happen in this story. Tell me if you have any!
