CHAPTER 2

Rory woke up the next day feeling extremely happy and ready to go to school. She quickly got up and practically ran to the shower. She had taken the records fastest shower. She began to pick out what to wear but couldn't decide between the blue sparkly sweater or the light pink t-shirt. She found a nice light blue jean skirt with a little sparkly butterfly on the front. It came three inches above her knee. She tried on both the tops and contemplated which looked better and in the end the pink over ruled considering it matched but not so much to make her look like all she worry's about it coordination. She added a little bit of blush to her cheeks and some mascara to her eyelashes. She wanted to look extra pretty for Jesse. Well now she called him Jess considering she found it to suit him better. She opened her door and nearly collided with Lorelai.

"Oh Geez mom. You nearly killed me" Rory said

"Sorry honey. I just wanted to know whether or not you wanted to go to Luke's this morning 'cause Michael had to go into work earlier today, and you and I both no that I cant cook and you certainly cant either" Lorelai stated

"Umm…yea sure. I really need coffee anyways"

"hey, wait a minute. Why are you so dressed up?"

"what are you talking about?"

"your wearing a skirt and some make up. I never even knew you owned make up"

"oh well I do. And I just had some extra time this morning so I decided to put on some make up" Rory lied

"or…."

"or what?"

"Rory come on. Tell me the truth please. I know your lying to me. I can see that smile on your face"

"I don't have a smile on my face" Rory said as she turned her face and began to walk to the door

"Oh so you think you can walk away. Well I don't think so. So who's the boy?"

"what? Mom, there is no boy"

"oh you definitely are my daughter"

"what are you talking about?"

"I had the same face when I liked a boy, so I know that there is some one"

"mom there is no one, now can we please go to Luke's cause I really need coffee and I have to get to school"

"you know you cant avoid this conversation forever"

Rory and Lorelai began to walk to Luke's.

"What conversation? There is nothing to talk about cause there is no boy that I like"

"Rory, you are 17 and you are graduating high school in a year, and you haven't ever had a boyfriend, and I know that you have a crush on somebody"

"no I don't. now were at Luke's so we are going to drop the topic of me apparently having a crush"

They walked into Luke's and like usual the bell rang above the door and everybody starred to see who was coming in. Once they noticed it was the Gilmore's they just waved and went on with there breakfast and conversation. They went up the counter and sat down.

"LUKE!" Lorelai yelled to get luke from the backroom.

Luke came from the back and was about to yell at who was shouting at him but once he saw it was Lorelai a smile immediately appeared to his face. Luke had always had a thing for Lorelai and EVERYBODY knew except her.

"Hey Lorelai" Luke said happily

"hey! Can we please have some coffee?"

"No. its bad for you"

"Luke come on. We haven't had any all morning and were in desperate need! See that face. Rory put on the puppy dog face" Lorelai demanded Rory. Rory stuck out her bottom lip and made her eyes go big. "see Luke you cant resist that face. Now please…can we have coffee?"

"No. that face has never and will never work on me"

All the sudden a boy with black hair came through the red and white checkered sheet that was hung to hide the stairs to the apartment. Rory's eyes went big and she quickly hid her face. He cheeks began to turn a light shade of crimson red. Lorelai noticed this and immediately knew why Rory was dressed up.

"Hey Jess" Luke greeted. "Rory, Lorelai I would like you to meet my nephew Jess. He just moved here from New York. He's going to be staying with me for a while"

"Hey Jeeesss" Lorelai prolonged knowing that it would make her daughter turn a darker shade of red. Jess nodded and tried to get a look at the girl with her head behind her hands. Once he noticed that it was the girl Rory that he had met yesterday a smile appeared to his face.

"Hey Rory, how are you doing today?" Jess asked not being able to keep the smile away. Lorelai and Luke looked at the two teens back and forth noticing the smile they both had on there face and the sparks that were in there eyes.

"Hi Jess." Rory spoke quietly. Rory quickly looked away from him and looked at the clock hanging right above the shelf that was Luke was standing underneath. She noticed that she had to be in school in 10minutes.

"Mom I have to go. So I will see you tonight." Rory quickly kissed her mothers cheek.

"yea see you then. Oh and clear your schedule from 6 till tomorrow" Lorelai said

"why?"

"oh we need to talk"

"no mom. Please. We don't need to talk"

"yes we do now go to school! Get an education. be smart. Go to college. Become a millionare. Marry a rich guy and have lots and lots of babies! Something I will never have!"

"Bye mom" Rory yelled as she walked out the door. Jess quickly followed her.

"Hey" He said coming up behind her

"Hey" she replied

"So I noticed you were trying to hide from me once you saw me. What was that all about?"

"what are you talking about?"

"Oh and you don't think I saw you hide yourself once you saw me?"

Rory started turning pink but quickly turned. Jess turned to face her and grabbed the sides of her face to make her look at him. They both started into each others eyes and lost there breath. They both inched there faces closer to each others. Once there lips were about to touch the bell rung and they quickly repelled from each other.

"Umm I have to get to my umm first class" Rory stumbled nervously

"yea. I'll walk you" Jess said with a smile. Rory blushed and they walked to class and sat down. All that day all they both could think of was each other, and there almost kiss.
