Hello everyone! I know I never update like I say I do and I'm truly sorry. But at least this time I have a semi-legitimate excuse. I got married last month! Anyways...I know this is an extremely short chapter but it's just a little filler/back story. It sets up the next chapter which will be a lot better, I promise! Enjoy!

Rory jumped into her car and sped off before Logan could stop her
Rory jumped into her car and sped off before Logan could stop her. The nerve of that guy, they never let her have any fun. It's always been that way since her sophomore year. Rory's eyes glazed over as she thought back to Tristan Dugrey. He was her first of many things: her first boyfriend, her first kiss, her first love. He was also the person who took her virginity. Things were going great, or so she thought, until that fateful day. Tristan called to say he was getting sent away to military school. Rory didn't understand. Since they started dating Tristan was the perfect teenager. He told her his dad was sending him away because he got caught breaking into Bowman's safe. Later, Rory found out the real reason. He cheated on Rory and knocked up the girl. They ran away in shame. Rory was broken for the rest of her sophomore year. The boys have been very overprotective ever since.
Rory was broken out of her daze as she pulled into Stars Hollow. The hardware sign that hung from Luke's caught her attention and her natural urge for coffee drew her towards it. She was very coffee deprived and didn't want to waste time parking at her house so she just parked on the street. She practically ran inside.
"Jess! I need coffee, now."
"What's the magic word?"
Rory looked at Jess. He was Luke's nephew and her newest friend. He just moved her this summer from New York. He was a rebel without a cause. She just saw someone who needed a friend. "Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"Not it, but that'll do."
Rory sighed as she took the first sip after her long day at Chilton. She never appreciated coffee more than she did now.
"Fruit of my loins! Did you meet any hot new boy toys today in hell?!"
Rory looked up to see her mother run in with as much urgency for coffee as she did. "Mom you have no idea…." Rory laughed as she filled in her mother on her first day as Chilton's senior queen.

Rory walked into the halls of Chilton the next day. She had a mission. She had to find Landon and apologize for Logan the day before. Then, she had to find Logan and kick his ass. Rory spotted Landon as he was closing his locker.
"Hey Landon!"
"Good morning Gilmore. How's it going?"
Rory stared at Landon as he smiled down at her. She felt her insides turn to mush as her heart started to thump loudly in her chest. Get it together Gilmore! "Umm, I wanted to apologize for yesterday. Logan was entirely out of line and I'm sorry."
"Hey, no need to apologize. If I was best friends with someone as beautiful as you I would be overprotective too." Landon laughed at Rory's naivety. He definitely wouldn't like boys looking at her, especially new ones that nobody knew anything about.
"Well, he still shouldn't have been so rude. Can I make it up to you? I was thinking we could grab that cup of coffee today after school." Rory was hoping he would say yes. She really hates making a fool of herself…
"Sure. See you out in the courtyard after the last bell?"
"Yup." Rory smiled at him as he slung his backpack over his shoulder.
"See you later Rory." He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Don't run into any one today. I'd hate for you to get hurt and miss our coffee date." He winked at her and headed down the hallway.
Rory just stared off at his retreating figure. She touched her cheek where his lips previously touched. She couldn't believe what was happening. Before she had time to move she saw Logan enter the school. He wasn't going to ruin her good mood so she stealthily sneaked by to her first class. Thank goodness she had taken that book home with her last night!

Little did Rory know that Logan had seen her and Landon's whole interaction. Something didn't sit well with him. He had to talk to Colin and Finn. They would know what to do.
So there it is. I am at a crossroads on my other story, Arranged Marriage. I'm not quite sure where I want to take it, but I will finish it. I swear! It would just make my day if you press that little button down there and let me know what you think. Until next time!
