Chapter 11
Editor's note: thanks for all the reviews guys! I appreciate them. I'm going to hit enter every time someone says a line but only once and have the person who says it written down so hopefully the dialogue is easier to read. I'm really sorry about the grammar. The computers I have access to can't download any Beta programs or anything and there's a reason I'm in Writing II! LOL so it should improve. If not I have no idea how I'll pass the class lol. It'll get more interesting I promise!
"Two coffeees to go please." A woman said.
Lorelai looked up at the word coffee. "Hi! I'm Lorelai Gilmore and you are?" Lorelai asked the woman.
"I'm Dawn Tolson I just moved here from Michigan." Dawn said.
"Nice to meet you I'm Lorelai Gilmore. You love coffeee too?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes and I'm sad to say both of these are for myself. The world would end if I didn't get coffee in me especially at work." Dawn said.
"I understand. Coffee is a stable it should have it's own food group. Welcome to Stars Hallow why'd you move here?" Lorelai asked.
Dawn laughed. "Because they liked me so much they want me to run things at their business here in Hartford get it up to snuff and get more customers." Dawn said.
"So promotion to small dinky town. Well welcome again and I'll see you around."
Dawn smiled took the two coffees and walked out the door as Rory and Max entered the Diner.
"Why is Luke at our house?" Max asked Lorelai.
"Cause he's building the dresser he promised me and Rory a bookshelf." Lorelai said.
"Oh I thought I heard hammering." Max said ordering a coffee for him and Rory.
"Mom we need to talk when I get back from school." Rory said,
"Okay hon." Lorelai said.
"I'm so tired and worn out. I mean I knew getting pregnant would get me weirded out and gross and ugly." Sookie said to Lorelai as they entered the kitchen of the Inn.
"You're not gross and ugly pregancy is you just have to live with it." Lorelai said.
"Yeah for another nine months." Sookie replied.
"Another reason for me not to be female." Michelle said.
"So is that why you loved those tights or are you trying to do a Richard Simmons thing cause he sure liked being female!" Lorelai said.
"No no honey it's Micheal Jackson whose confused."
"No he's just confused a bout what race he is." Lorelai said.
"Well Michelle is too I have never heard a country boy from TX with that kind of accent." Sookie said.
"Sure Sook you have all of today's menus right?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah. Hon are you okay? Something seems off with you today." Sookie said.
"Not off just tired." Lorelai said.
"You sure everything's okay? I'm here in the kitchen if you need me." Sookie said.
Lorelai nodded and walked back to the desk.
"Independence Inn Michelle speaking where we only live to serve your needs. How may I help you?" Michelle asked.
Lorelai gave Michelle a look and started looking through her mail.
Michelle handed Lorelai the phone. "It is a bunch of Wacko's who want to do a wedding party here. I need you to talk to them because you organize everything of that nature." Michelle walked off.
"Yes hello. I see. Well let me look. We have everything available to you want to place a hold? Okay I'm going to need cretid card number. Themes, colors decorations what you want is what we give." Lorelai said.
"Mom!" Rory called.
"In here getting ready to go to Luke's. Babe did you see that new bookshelf Luke made you?" Lorelai asked.
"And it's not even your birthday how very chiverlrous. Mom. Grandma told me she thought you and Luke kissed again." Rory said not beating around the bush.
"She thought she saw or she did see?" Lorelai asked her heart skipping a beat.
"She saw." Rory said.
"Oh no..." Lorelai moaned.
"She says she'll keep quiet but she wants to know what's going on. So do I. Mom you're married to Max! Not Luke! If you wanted Luke you should have married him!" Rory said.
"I know I know. It just happened but I swear on my life it won't happen again." Lorelai said.
"If it won't happen again you have to tell Max. I feel guilty every time I look at him cause I'm hiding it from him! It makes class a little ackward to pay attention in." Rory said.
"Look hon I promise I won't kiss him again. In fact I have a plan." Lorelai said.
"What's that?" Rory asked.
"We'll set Luke up." Lorelai said.
"With who?" Rory asked.
"There's a new single girl in town." Lorelai said.
"Will Luke like this girl?" Rory asked.
"I don't know but we'll find out. Please for your mother's sake. Our sake. Our new family's sake do not tell Max." Lorelai said.
"Fine. But it had better not happen again or you have to tell Max." Rory said.
"Scouts honor."
Rory drove to school with Max. It had been awhile since she'd needed to ride the bus. On days like this though when it was ackward as hell on her part though she missed the bus ride. Dean and her were doing okay. He was working alot lately though. Earning money to move out of his parents place eventually. Everything was pleasent peaceful and good.
"You all right Rory your quiet." Max said.
"I'm always quiet I always have a book on hand." Rory said.
"You used to speak up in class i want to show my daughter off. You're smarter then Paris." Max said.
"Thanks but you're my father and you have to say that." Rory said.
"No I mean it we'll get you to Harvard if it's the last thing we'll do." Max said.
"I hope it's not the last. I want you and mom to be there with me. Dad. Can't be late it's Duboyse class first and he's an ass." Rory said.
"I don't think I have ever heard that word come out of your mouth." Max said laughing.
"Please please in the staffroom don't tell him I said that." Rory begged.
"I won't."
They hugged.
Rory was sitting at a lunch table by her self when one of the councilors came up to her. Rory recongnized her as Mrs. Verdinas. She was there if any of the students needed to talk.
Rory turned off her CD player after she jumped. "Hi." She said.
"Hello Rory. I need to see you in my office. Headmaster Charlston asked if maybe I talked to you we might get some breakthrough." Mrs. Vardinas said.
"Why don't we talk now?" Rory asked.
"No dear I'm having lunch too just please come to my office."
Mrs. Vardinas walked away.
Rory continued reading until the bell rang.
She made her way slowly into Mrs. Vardinas office.
"Is everything okay?" Rory asked.
"Oh it's not an emergcany if that's what you mean. It's just we're concerned. You're not in any of the clubs and you don't try to make friends with any of the students." Mrs. Vardinas said.
"Yes because they're all rich snobs who have it's me or you attitude and it's gonna be me and you're gonna die." Rory said.
"I really feel that is extremely biased given your backround." Mrs. Vardinas said.
"Is your opinion biased because your daddy had money?" Rory asked. Mrs. Vardinas gave her a look.
"Look Rory Harvard isn't just going to look at your grades. Believe it or not there alot of good students at prep schools who make top grade like your self. They look at extra activities, community service and yes friendships made at that school."
"I get it so I need to join a club of some kind." Rory said sullenly.
"Yes."
"I have friends at Stars Hallow." Rory said.
"Not at Chilton."
"I have a boyfriend."
"Not at Chilton."
"What is that a your not supposed to date rule? I suppose it's in the hand book. I just never look at it. Is that bad too? I mean cause I can read it now if you like even though I'm reading Christothamy's biography. Or is it bad he's not a Chilton boy and I should have two boys because harvard likes cheating girlfriends and wives who don't love their husbands but their money." Rory said.
Mrs. Vardinas looked at her. "Plain and simple Rory make friends here try it you might like it. You might hate it in which Harvard will take notice. Also join at least two clubs please. For applications sake?" Mrs. Vardinas said. "Okay."
Rory walked out into the hallway. She saw Madeline and Louis with Paris. "Walk with me to class." Rory asked.
"Why what would ever give you the idea that we would?" Paris asked. Louis snickerd.
"I'll walk with you to class Mary." Tristan said.
"Fine." Rory snapped.
Tristan looked shocked. "You're serious?"
"Yes but don't get any funny ideas." Rory said.
"What are you doing?" Paris snapped.
"Making friends it's what Harvard would want me to do." Rory replied.
"Fine we're coming to who do you have?" Paris asked.
"Don't play dumb Paris we both have Ms. Gracey." Rory replied rolling her eyes. What a group of friends. Wait till Lorelai heard about this. She'd be oh so thrilled.
