Enjoy! Chapter TWO
Luke sighed as his alarm went off at 7 AM. He was already awake. He slammed the button down and got dressed for school. He shook his sister, Liz, awake. She clawed him a few times and let a few profanities slip, but Luke was used to it by now.
Liz hopped up and did her normal morning routine. She grabbed a handful of Mini Wheats and stuffed them in her mouth, threw some clothes on, barely ran a comb through her hair, then flipped her head over and ran her fingers through her short-ish hair. It was naturally blonde, but she had currently dyed a few purple streaks in it. Luke brushed his teeth, while Liz just gargled a mixture of Listerine and water, and grabbed his bag with his track uniform. Liz caked on her makeup and grabbed her purse.
The two of them headed downstairs to the bus stop and waited patiently for the big yellow vehicle to come. It arrived and they got on. Luke sat in the seat across the aisle from Liz and her friend and behind one of his friends, Mark. He and Mark had a conversation about baseball scores, and then he looked out the window. He thought he saw the mysterious girl, but knew he actually didn't.
The bus screeched to the next stop. A girl with curly bright blonde hair, electric blue eye shadow, and dark red lips got on, dragging her bookbag in the aisle behind her. Her skirt was rolled and pulled up past her bellybutton and she had chunky heels on. Carrie. Crazy Carrie. She strutted down the aisle to Liz's seat. They greeted each other with air-kisses on the cheek.
"Hey Butch," Carrie greeted seductively, chewing her lime green gum obnoxiously.
"Carrie," He replied simply.
"You wanna taste my gum?" She asked, yanking lightly on his earlobe and blowing a big bubble.
Luke swatted her hand away.
"I bet that bubble isn't the only thing you can blow, Carrie!" Liz called out loudly from behind her.
"Hey! Hey, I don't wanna hear my little sister talking about blowing," Luke spat.
Then he turned to Mark and they went back to talking about sports and the opening game coming up.

Lorelai looked at herself uncomfortably in the mirror. She was trying on her uniform after her mother had sent it away for an "emergency tailoring session" the night before. It had been tailored to fit her ever-growing stomach. She decided to keep it business as usual, so nobody would wonder anything. She rolled the skirt twice and slipped on her white knee-socks, then un-tucked her button-down white shirt. She pulled her navy blue school monogrammed sweater over her head and made sure the tails of her shirt were sticking out under the sweater. She stepped into her platform shoes and put her hair up in the messy bun that her mother hated. She walked down the stairs casually, grabbing her bag at the bottom.
"Dreadful," Emily sighed of the outfit.
"Perfect," Lorelai said in response to her mother's comment.
Then she got into the car. She plugged her walkman headphones into her ears and tuned out, her mind drifting back to the guy she saw the other day. He seemed like a really interesting guy. But she had Christopher. And she had to tell him…Today.
She stepped onto the school campus. She waved to a few of her friends and exchanged hugs with some people. Then she zeroed in on the person she was looking for. She casually walked over.
"Hey Lor," Christopher greeted, planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey Chris," She smiled, putting her arm around his shoulders.
"So, opening football game tonight," Chris began.
"Yup. And our team's totally gonna suck," She replied.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to show up, have a little school spirit," He shrugged.
"School spirit? I believe you have me pegged all wrong. And we've been going out how long?" Lorelai joked.
"That's what I thought," Chris said, "So, why don't you grace me with your presence at the game tonight? We can make fun of the cheerleaders, cheer for the opposing team, and you can look at the guys run around in their tight football pants."
"You've got a deal," Lorelai nodded.
