I am so glad school is over for today. Tonight is another story. I am still on "probation", with the rents so it sucks. My orders were to take the bus, because mom has work at the inn until 5:30. It will be forever until we leave, and I just really don't feel like going.

The food at dinner is either something you have never heard of, or something you have but it is too gross to eat it. Therefore, either way you starve. I guess I could try to get some clothes picked out for dinner, even when I do that grandma always has something to say. "Those shoes don't match your dress properly, never iron a pleated skirt, it makes it to flat and dull." I could hear those words mocking me.

My hair is going everywhere, so I guess I'll do it right now, because if I don't its going to be scary. I think I just leave it down, but fix my curls a bit. I have no idea what clothes to wear, I guess my pink skirt and my top that goes with it will do.

I'm just going to sit and get on myspace. Dad hates myspace, he thinks that a bunch of guys will go and read my stuff. He is always like that; I just add my friends and everybody I know. I would call one of my friends, but I'm on "probation" so it sucks.

The rents aren't home so I can do anything right now. I think I'm going to get some real food. My grandparents don't fix any food that edible, so I'm going to the taco place in town. If dinner gets as bad as I think it's going to be, nobody is going to eat and I'll be starving. It's 5:30, mom should be home by now, I've got to hide these taco wrappers. I'd be in so much trouble if she found them. "Ellie are you home yet? I want to see you ready and dressed by 6:30." I heard mom say, I knew she just walked in the door. She was yelling to me from the living room. I walked down all ready to go. Mom went up stairs to get dressed. I sat and read a book on the couch. "Elle can we have a nice peaceful ride there, no fighting. Dad is coming to grandma's and grandpa's in a bit, so its just me and you right now"

I went up the stairs, I had to talk to her, like best friends talk. This cold-shoulder parent talk mad was horrible. I walked into her room; I had to ask her if we could be friends again. Wow, that sounds weird. "Mom I've got a question and it driving me crazy not knowing the answer." "What is it?" She still gave me that parent attitude. "Mom, can we be just friends again? I hate fighting or you being mad at me. I feel like I've lost my best friend." I really wanted to cry. My eyes started welling with tears, and my throat started to burn.

Surprisingly with out answering she came and hugged me. It was the best feeling. Now hugging mommy sounds cheesy, but when your mom is Lorelai Gilmore Danes its not. "I love you mom." I was crying so bad I couldn't even get it out. I hate the cold shoulder silent treatment. "I know, I know honey, its ok and I love you too." She tightened our hug. She knows just the right words to say, and I feel so safe in her arm. Ok, now that sounded like poetry, but its true. Mom has that gift to be able to comfort anyone.

So after our hug, I knew things were right again. "So how was school today, hun?" I smiled, I was glad to be able to talk to her about things again. "I was alright, nothing big happened." "Oh, and just because nothing happened at school, when I come back to Stars Hollow, big things just pop up." "Let me see, Taylor tried to volunteer you for something." "Nope, that doesn't ever come close, Kirk asked me out to the movies." "What did you tell him?" "I told him I was a minor, and that he would be a child-molester if he dated me." "What did he say?" "He saw a cop and ran. So I think he got the message. I should have yelled, "Kirk's harassing me!" "You should have filmed that for me, well are you ready to go to dinner?" "You've already eaten though haven't you?" "Um… yes, how'd you know? " I have my ways."

Moms are always like that, they know "everything. I can't do anything she won't know about. "Eli come her, let me fix your hair, your curls are messed up in the back." I loved when she did my hair, I felt like I was five again. "Oh, I'm so excited about dinner tonight." I told her sarcastically. " You are are you, well I hate going to them too, well at least your dad will be there." "Is he still mad at me?" I looked at her with worried eyes, waiting to hear what she would say. "Don't worry hun, we already talked about it, he's fine. We know you're a teenager so these things are bound to happen. Rory did the same thing.

When she was fixing my hair, we talked about what I was feeling worst about. "So how's Chilton?" "It's ok I guess." "Hun what's wrong?" I was about to cry and breakdown, I'm really sensitive but only I know I am. Mom had on her lets talk/worried look on. "I just don't think Chilton is for me, I hate going in the mornings." "Ellie, why didn't you tell me, I want you to be happy. Do you want me to help you with school.? " I always want you to be happy." " I know, I'm just confused whether to stay or do I stay and work at it." "Its ok sweetie, well work it out." "Rory always got good grades, and now I can't even make it. I want you and dad to be proud that I'm just as good as Rory."

I was about to cry again, man I cry a lot but these are touchy issues. I could feel tears, and I knew she saw them because she gave me another hug. "You should never compare yourself to Rory. Everyone is different, sure school isn't your easiest thing. You just have to make sure you tell me when something is wrong." "Can I move back to Stars Hollow High?" "You know that might not be such a bad idea, let me ask your dad's opinion tonight ok, then we'll talk."

And that's how it went. I'm smart, I just don't really do well in school. My dad never was really, really into school. My mom wants us to have the best in everything, she was so good at school too. I'm more like my dad when it comes to school. After that, we left and got into the Jeep and took off for dinner. The ride to dinner was pretty quiet; I think we already said everything that each one wanted to hear. A few times, I would glance at mom, and she would smile at me. I was glad that I finally got the issue about school off my chest.

We pulled up after about 35 minutes, Welcome to dinner theater at 7:00, ok we eat dinner at 7:30 now, the time changed from 7:00. Mom doesn't want to get out yet, so were waiting for dad. She hates going in early, she says that she would go in with me. Only she needs an adult figure with her a.k.a my dad, for support. I can't believe grandma didn't see us drive up or hear us. After about 5 minutes dad showed up. I looked at mom and she relaxed, you could see her expressions just calm. "Hey dad!" I said hoping our grudge was over. "Hey Eli, how was school." "Well it was alright." The thought of school made me put a depressed face on. I walked on while my parents talked on while my parents talked by the cars. I was by the doorstep, they didn't think I could hear them but I heard every word. "What's wrong with Elizabeth?" "She wants to go back to Stars Hollow High." "I thought she loved Chilton, what happened." "I did too, but I think it's too much for her. She stayed because she wanted to be as good as Rory at school. I don't want to see her trying to live up to Rory, she puts too much stress on her and I'm worried." Dad came and hugged my mom, mom felt so bad that she made me go to Chilton. It was somewhat sad to watch. "We should get inside, lets talk about it later." Mom grabbed dad's hand, and they joined me on the doorstep. Mom put her arm around my shoulder while dad rang the doorbell. I was waiting for the yelling to start. Grandma opened the door, and she didn't look so happy.

A/N- I just felt like leaving you with a cliff, it happens to me all the time. Well at least it gives you something to read. Hope you like this chapter.
