"So, Hartford State?" Luke asked again as he sat on the couch in Jess' apartment.
"Yup," Jess said as he looked at the mail.
"What are you going to major in?" Luke asked, already knowing the answer.
"English," Jess replied automatically.
"New it," Luke said as he drank some water.
"Then why you ask?" Jess asked as he opened a letter from Chilton.
Luke ignored his question and asked, "What's that?"
"Letter from Chilton. Tells me what she needs, and her schedule," Jess said, sounding interested. "Let's see. Chemistry Honors, Algebra II honors, AP Spanish Literature. What the hell? I'm living with a nerd," Jess joked.
"You're going to tease her huh?" Luke asked.
"Well, yeah. I mean AP Spanish Literature? I don't even think I took a language in high school," Jess said as he examined her schedule.
"Let me see that," as Luke was looking at her schedule he was surprised to see that Daisy really had a tough schedule. "Can she actually do all of these classes?" he asked.
"Well yeah. The AP Spanish is no surprise to me. She's been speaking Spanish ever since she was little,"
As Luke continued to scan the Chilton letter, he came across the letter stating she should have read certain books. "Did you tell her she had to summer reading," Luke asked Jess.
"What? There's summer reading?" Jess asked sarcastically.
"Jess, how could you?" Luke asked believing him.
"Chill out Luke, I was just being sarcastic. Plus, she's already read some of them, probably even all of them," Jess said looking at the reading list.
"When is she coming back?" Luke asked.
"Two more weeks," Jess answered. "I think it's the 28th,"
"You don't even know when she's coming back?" Luke asked.
"She's coming back the 28th, I'm positive," Jess restated.
Luke looked at his watch. "Look, I got to leave. Need to get back to the diner,"
"Bye," Jess called out, as Luke left. Jess walked to his room and got the brochures, from Hartford State, out of his bookshelf. He looked down at them, and read the description of his major.
"Hey Jess," Lorelai greeted as she sat at the counter.
"Hey. Coffee?" he asked.
"Yes please," Lorelai said, and took a sip of her coffee when he gave it to her.
"So, when is Rory getting back?" Jess asked.
"Um, soon," Lorelai said.
"Hey Lorelai," Lane said as she came up to her.
"Hey Lane. How's it going?"
"Peachy. Um, Jess, table by the window needs their order taken. So stop talking and get back to work," she commanded.
"Yes ma'am," he said with fake enthusiasm.
Lane turned her attention back to Lorelai. "So, Rory is almost coming home. You excited?" Lane asked smiling.
"Yeah," Lorelai replied trying to act normal.
"Well, I better get back to work," Lane said.
"Ok,"
Lorelai has been nervous for Rory's coming home. Rory didn't leave to happy with her and that was really upsetting her. As Lorelai headed to the inn, she couldn't stop thinking on how things got out of control. As she got into her car, her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Lorelai asked.
"Mom," a little voice said on the other line.
"Rory," Lorelai said, surprised her daughter had called.
"Yeah. Um, I just really needed to talk to you. The reason I called was to say that I really miss you," she told her mom.
"I really miss you too, hon," Lorelai said.
"And I want to say that I'm sorry I left with a grudge against you," she continued. "That was wrong of me,"
"Oh, sweetie, it's okay," Lorelai responded, glad she was back on speaking terms with her best friend.
"Mom, I need you to do something for me," Rory said.
"What is it?" Lorelai asked.
"I need you to give a letter to Dean. I already sent it to you and all you have to do is hand it to him," she told Lorelai.
"Okay," Lorelai agreed without questioning her daughter. "It's great to hear you Rory,"
"It's great to hear you too,"
Lorelai continued talking to Rory not caring that she was going to be late for work.
Jess walked into the hall of Hartford state to pick up his schedule. As he was walking he bumped into a petite girl. She had black short, layered, hair, and green eyes.
"Sorry 'bout that," he apologized and helped pick up her stuff she dropped.
"It's okay. Me bumping into something or someone was bound to happen," she chuckled. "So, picking up your schedule?" she asked.
"Yeah. You?" he asked.
"Same. I'm Jasmine," she said and stretched out her hand.
"Jess," he said and shook her hand.
"So, what year are you?" she asked him.
"Freshman, just starting the college life," he answered her.
"Me too. You know, you don't look like you would be a freshman in college," she told.
"Ah, I'm actually supposed to be a sophomore right now, but I needed some time to recollect myself, I guess you could say," he explained.
"Understandable,"
When they both got their schedule, they walked out together. "I know I just met you and all, but would you like to get some coffee or something?" she asked with a hint of red in her cheeks.
"Sure. I'd like that," Jess smiled.
"Cool, let's go," she said. As they walked together, Jess found himself smiling and enjoying his time.
A/n: so that was the beginning of season five. Hope you enjoyed it, and stay tuned.
