Logan, as tradition had come to dictate, woke up first the next morning and didn't mind in the slightest that his future bride was still sleeping soundly. Rory had fallen asleep in Logan's arms and he was pleased to see her there when he woke up. With his one free hand Logan reached for the small box his father had given him less than a day earlier. Opening it, he was quiet pleased with what he saw, the ring was beautiful and it would suit Rory quiet well, it was a princess cut diamond surrounded by ten small pink diamonds in a platinum setting. Logan rested his head on the pillow and tried to come up with a suitable way to propose to Rory before the trip was over. Sighing he knew the same concern that was plaguing him was mostly likely plaguing the young women in his arms; if, as his father had said, the news of their proposal would be in the papers school would become a completely outlandish circus.

Logan had never particularly cared for Chilton Preparatory, but the presence of Rory, Colin and Finn had always made it significantly more enjoyable. The four of them ran the school, and even worse they and everyone else in the school knew it. From the day the foursome had entered that school it had never been the same. Their freshmen year they had associated themselves only with the seniors, as they did their sophomore year, however by junior year they may as well have been seniors. Logan had been looking quiet forward to senior year, like the rest of his group, he had nothing to worry about when in came to the college admissions process, the four of them were practically shoe ins for Yale so long as they had a decent G.P.A. and S.A.T. scores, neither would be a problem. The four of them had started planning their senior antics long before they even entered the prestigious school and Logan knew none of them would even dream of giving up on any of those pranks.

Logan had to admit though, the fact that he and Rory were now engaged, and that the world knew it certainly changed the plans somewhat. He knew he had to resolve himself to the fact that the first month back would prove to be nothing more than a plethora of questions for him along with some angry girls. Logan though, was more concerned about Rory, around him, Colin, and Finn Rory was always self assured and as cocky as the rest of them. Logan knew though, as soon as she was put in a situation where all eyes were on her she wouldn't hold up so well. He recalled with loathing the time Michael Sotheby had cheated on Rory at the beginning of their junior year; Rory and Mike had been Chilton's star couple, the Nick and Jessica of their world and with their breakup the school quickly turned into People magazine. All eyes had been on the couple, constantly waiting to see who would yell at whom next, if Rory would cry, if Mike would come to her seeking forgiveness. That month had drained Rory emotionally to the point where Logan had become seriously concerned about her, and he was scared that this situation would do the same to her, but that this time she may follow through with what depression would push her too.

Logan gently climbed out of bed when he heard a sharp knock on the door. Looking through the peep hole we saw both his father and Christopher. Sighing to himself he opened the door.

"What do you want?" Logan snapped at the two men.

"Watch your tone." Mitchum reprimanded his son.

"I'm really not in the mood for any of you right now, so make it short and sweet what do you want?"

"Do the two of you plan on joining us at all for the rest of the vacation?"

"No we don't." Logan almost yelled as he slammed the door in the face of the two men.

"Is everything okay?" Rory murmured from the bed.

"Ya, it's fine, they just stopped by again to see if we had basically forgiven them yet."

"I certainly hope you told them no."

"Don't worry I did. So I wanna ask you something."

"Well by all means ask Huntzburger, subtly was never your strong point."

"How are we going to handle the whole school engagement thing?"

"I have no idea." She replied sighing. "It's going to be insane. Lets just take it as it comes I guess, there's not much else we can really do. Have you told Colin and Finn?"

"Nope, have you?"

"Uh-uh, I suggest you call them before they read it in the paper."

Colin and Finn's reactions were exactly as Logan had pictured them. Of course they first figured it was a joke, and then they were floored. Then the insufferable mocking started, Logan knew they were already planning a bachelor party. Rory looked at Logan and smiled. They both knew school was going to be the same thing only with daggers involved.
