And with stern look he stood up from behind his desk walk to the door and continued, "Boys, meet your mentor Lorelai Gilmore, or as she likes to be called Rory."
As Headmaster Charleston began to open the door, Logan scrambled to remember bits and pieces from the night before trying to remember why the name Rory sounded so familiar. The answer to this question came to him in full blast seconds later as he connected eyes with the brunette from the night before.
"You!" he said shocked.
"Oh god" she replied
"Oh god indeed!" exclaimed Finn who was happily clapping his hands and fidgeting around in his chair like an over excitable two-year-old. He nudged Logan in the side, completely oblivious to Logan's shock. "Mate she is not the cow I had in my mind!". Finn then proceeded to grab the started Rory's hand and kiss it. "Well hello love! Has anyone told you that you are one very sexy lady?".
"Uh…not recently…" Rory responded trailing off. She was still standing awkwardly in shock. She had a million thoughts racing through her head the most pressing of all happened to involving a certain blond sitting about five feet from her. Did she really have to spend all her free time and school time with the jerk from the previous night? Someone up there had to hate her. However horrified Rory might have been feeling she had to mask her feelings and put on a smile to protect her reputation with the headmaster.
So she just smiled happily at Finn and then turned to Logan and Colin.
"Hello! I'm Rory and you are?" She said her words dripping with false cheer.
Colin absentmindedly grunted his name, Finn replied with a "Finnagin" and Logan completely blew off the question. His mind was panicked. 'Oh crap' he thought, 'do I really have to spend every waking hour with someone who hates me? This is going to suck.'
At this point Headmaster Charleston had being a very sharp man, realized something was up. He however decided to do nothing about it though, Rory was a smart kid and she could handle it. Besides for any issue involving the three boys in front of him he really didn't want to know.
"Very well" Headmaster Charleston said after a considerably long pause. "I have placed all three of you in the same classes as Rory, so she will send you on your way. The teachers are excepting you." He then preceded to hand a manila folder to Rory explaining that it contained information such as schedules, phone numbers and locker numbers.
Rory and Finn smiled said good bye to the headmaster and headed out the door with a moody Logan and Colin at their heels. As soon as they left the office Finn immedently launched into his life story. He was born in Australia, but moved to Connecticut at five years old, where he met Colin and Logan. The three instantly connected and spent the next many years terriozing teachers, parents and anyone with a sense of responsibility and a lack of patience and tolerance. They were walking down f hall when two giggling girls practically fell out of the girls bathroom, falling over each other in hysterics. One of them pointed to Rory and their laughter dried up as soon as they spotted the three guys. One of the girls waved at Rory like they were the best chums in the world. "Rory! How are you?" She exclaimed, but she continued before Rory could answer, "And who are your friends? You must introduce us!".
Rory looked exasperated at the girl's very unsubtle technique of getting the scoop on the guys on Rory's arms. Quite literally in Finns case seeing as he had linked arms with Rory and rested his head on her shoulder as he told his stories. "This is Finn" She said elbowing Finn in the side, "And this is Colin and Logan. They're new here" She finished giving each boy a nod and a glance as she said their names. She let her gaze linger on Logan a moment of two longer. He really was quite hot she let herself think. However she made herself remember what an ass he was and tore her gaze from him and returned it two the two girls. "This is Louise." She said motioning to the girl who had inquired about the boys. She was twirling her blond hair about her fingers. "And this is Madison" She continued motioning to the brunette smiling at them.
Both girls gave a giggle and opened their mouths to initiate a conversation, but Rory cut them off as cheerfully as possible. "As much as we would love to chat, we must be getting to homeroom. So we'll talk later, okay?" And with that she grabbed the guys and continued on their way to class.
On the way to the classroom Finn had seemingly given up in his efforts to indulge Rory in his life history and he just walked beside Rory taking in the hallways of Chilton. Meanwhile Logan still sulked from behind Rory lost in thought. This really wasn't fair, he had already made a horrible impression on the girl and now he would have to just put up with her glares and loathing. Besides what was such an "influential student" doing making out with strange guys? He tilted head to the side catching a peak at her face. She really was hot.
The four students passed by several more classrooms, before Rory stopped at the door of one. "This is where homeroom will be taking place everyday, "Rory explained, while holding open the door. Once inside she continued. "The teachers name is Mr. Hallens, he's a decent man even though he is hard of hearing, but that's okay since all we do in this class is call roll and listen to annoncements."
Rory then proceeded to walk over to the teacher's desk and tell him that his new students had arrived. Mr. Hallens nodded his head then sent a smile over to the three boys.
Rory then gave them a nudge with her head directing them to take seats and then continued chatting it up with Mr. Hallens. Logan, Colin and Finn looked at each other then walked to the seats at the back of the room. Logan slid into the chair next to a blond boy, without giving it much though. He had barely settled himself down in the chair when the blond boys voice cut through his actions.
"Well, Huntzburger I never thought I would see the day of your parents sending you to school at Chilton."
Logan looked at the boy and sighed. This was going to suck more then he had originally thought. He gave an annoyed glance back at Colin and Finn only to see that both of them were sending death glares at the boy.
"And why would that be, Dugrey?" Logan said, his voice not being able hide his disgust.
"It just seems surprising to me that your parents would send you to a school so close to home. Seeing as how they don't love you and all." Tristan replied.
Logan lunged forward with every intention of gauging the boy's eyes out, but two pairs of hands reached forward and grabbed his uniform by the back.
"Easy there Logan" Finn said, reeling Logan back in. " We wouldn't want the lovely Rory to hate us on the first day."
"Too late for that" Logan managed to mumble before he was cut of by Tristan laughter.
"Oh this is to priceless!" Tristan said between laughs, "You guys are the losers assigned to Mary?"
"Whose Mary? I thought her name was Rory" Colin asked.
"It is Rory" Rory said walking up the aisle and taking a seat next to Logan and in front of Finn and Colin. "Don't pay him any attention, he's a jerk" she said to Logan, Finn, and Colin motioning to Tristan.
"I'm hurt Mare, you know that you want me." Tristan replied cockily the same time as Finn opened his mouth in shock.
"I think you are the first member of the opposite sex that is aware of this obvious fact and isn't attracted to him. You're not a mate under all the uniform are you?" Finn asked bluntly.
Rory laughed good heartedly, "No, I'm not a mate Finn. And me? Attracted to that thing, that someone decided to call Tristan? Ick!" Then Rory shot Tristan a glare and pretended to vomit.
"Hey!" Tristan began, but was cut of by the annoncements.
"Hello students, faculty and staff welcome to another glorious day at Chilton this is Melissa Johnston with the morning announcements. Before we begin the instructional day, please rise to say the pledge of allegiance."
Everybody in the room rose and said the pledge then sat down and listened to the announcements, except for two students. Rory was listening to Melissa read of the room number for that students should go to if they were interested in joining the dance committee when a note fell on her desk. She picked it up and glanced around the room to see who had sent it. She connected glances with a pair of deep chocolate brown eyes belonging to none other then Logan Huntzburger. Great she though sarcastically. She open the note and read his dark handwriting.
I know things are weird for us and I just wanted to ask you if you could just forget about last night? I have to spend all my time with you and I'd really rather not have you hate me. Deal?
Rory read the note and responded in her own slanted print.
Oh right! Of course I should just forget about what an ass you were so things can be easier for you! That's going to happen.
Logan's eyebrows rose in surprise after reading her response. This was not what he expected. He brought his pen to the paper and scribbled his response down before flicking it over to Rory's desk.
I didn't mean for it to sound like that. It's just that I'm used to girls just throwing themselves at me, but I never try to force something upon them and you were giving me all the signs.
Rory's eyes became slits in reading his response. Partly because he was being egotistical but more because she knew he was right. But she wasn't about to let him know that.
What kinds of signs? There were no signs!
Logan read he response and couldn't help, but smirk. He was getting to her. Just a little more pushing and his case would be accepted.
"Okay" signs. "I think you're totally amazing" signs. "Boy would I love to sleep with you" signs. Don't even try to deny them, 'cause you know they were there.
Rory knew he was right and figured there was no point in denying them. Even though his ego was huge she couldn't help but warm up to him. Damn charm!
Wow! Look at that ego! It's huge!
Logan smirked even more after reading her last response, and repeated one solitaire word on the page hoping it was his last.
Deal?
Rory read the entire content of the note again and mulled things over in her head silently for a few moments before turning to Logan and nodding her head with a small grin. Logan smirked right back and winked.
"Ass." Rory whispered to him jokingly. Logan placed his hand to his heart and pretended to be hurt. Meanwhile Melissa bid the student population of Chilton a good day and the announcements were over and the bell rang for students to head for their next class.
Finn leaned over and placed his head between Logan and Rory while Colin grabbed his book bag and stood up. "Where to now love?".
