Chapter 2

Rory and Hannah were walking down the Chilton hallway to their lockers when Hannah froze.

"Han?" Rory said. She followed her gaze and she saw what had made her stop. There, pressed up against the locker, was Tristan kissing a blonde haired girl. She looked back at her sister. "Han..."

"Let's just go get our books." She said quietly.

They walked over to the lockers and what made it worse was that Tristan and the girl were pressed up against their lockers. "Excuse me!" Rory said loudly.

They stopped and looked over at them. "Hey." Tristan smirked.

"Can you move it up a bit? You're infront of our lockers." Rory said.

"Oh. Sorry." Tristan said and they moved up. He glanced at Hannah. "Hey." He said.

"Hey." She said coldly.

Tristan was a bit taken aback by her tone. "So the notes.." He said.

"Don't worry about it. I wouldn't want to bother you when you obviously have more important things to do." Hannah retorted. "I'll get the notes from someone else." She said and then left.

"What the...?" Tristan said shocked.

"You're such a jerk." Rory snapped at him and then she rushed after her sister. "Hey Han, wait up!" She caught up and could tell she was upset. "I'm sorry..." She said.

"It's not your fault. I can't believe I'm about to say this but I should have listened to Paris. How the hell did I think he'd be interested in me?" Hannah said. "He's just interested in getting whatever he wants."

"I'm still sorry. I could tell you liked him." Rory said sympathetically.

"Let's just go to class." Hannah said.

Rory sighed and followed her sister to class.

Hannah was later sat in the canteen for lunch when she felt someone come and sit opposite her. "What do you want?" She said.

"To talk." Tristan said. "Did I do something to upset you or something?"

Hannah snorted. "Well if you can't figure that out then I can't help you."

"Give me a clue." He said.

"Don't you have a blonde airhead to get back to?" Hannah said annoyed.

"So that's what this is about..." He said.

Hannah rolled her eyes. "Well done Sherlock!" She said sarcastically.

"Look I don't know why it upset you. We were just kissing.." He started.

"Yeh well then clearly you don't know me at all." Hannah snapped. "I thought we hit it off yesterday. I thought you liked me. But now I just feel stupid. I was just another of your challenges, wasn't I? See if you could score me. Well forget it! I have to go." She said and got up to leave.

"Hannah..." He said shocked.

"Just stay away from me Tristan! I mean it!" Hannah snapped and then she stormed off, leaving Tristan sat there stunned.

Meanwhile, over in Stars Hollow, Lorelai rushed into the diner for her lunch. "Coffee and the biggest burger you can make. And make it pronto please!" Lorelai exclaimed sitting down at the counter.

"Busy day?" Luke asked.

"Urgh yeh! Got this wedding at the inn and the brides can't decide on anything. Did I tell you they were twins?" Lorelai exclaimed.

Luke chuckled. "Wow. Here." He said pouring her a huge mug of coffee.

"No lectures?" Lorelai said surprised.

"Looks like you deserve it." He said.

"Thanks." She sighed and started to drink it.

"Are you ok?" Luke asked concerned.

"Yeh I just...sometimes I think my job is too big for me. Maybe I should have stayed as a maid..." She sighed.

"You're great at your job. Mia wouldn't have given it to you if she didn't think you were up to it." Luke said.

"You really think so?" Lorelai asked looking up at him.

"I know so." He smiled. "You can hack anything. You can do this. Just think, after the wedding's over, you don't ever have to see them again."

Lorelai smiled. "Thanks."

Luke smiled. "I'll go get your food."

Lorelai watched him disappear into the kitchen, smiling. How was it that Luke could always cheer her up?

A few minutes later, Luke came out and placed the burger infront of her. Lorelai looked at it and let out a laugh. "What did you do?"

Luke shrugged. "You seemed like you needed cheering up so I made you..."

"A happy burger." Lorelai smiled, looking down at the burger which had a face on it. She looked up at Luke. "Thank you." She said sincerely. She then grinned. "You know if Kirk found out of these..." She teased.

"Just eat your burger." He growled.

Lorelai grinned and started eating.

Hannah and Rory came back on the bus.

"I'm going to see if I can help Luke out at the diner." Hannah said.

"I thought you didn't have a shift today?" Rory said.

"I don't. I just feel like it." Hannah said.

"We're supposed to be helping mom with the wedding." Rory said.

"I know. I'll do like an hour at the diner and then come to the inn. Tell mom I'll be there. I promise." Hannah said.

"Ok." Rory said. "Are you ok?"

"Just need something to get my mind off things." She sighed.

"Things like Tristan?" Rory guessed.

"Tristan who?" Hannah said.

"I'll see you later. Try and bag us some coffee." Rory smiled.

Hannah smiled back. "I'll do my best."

Hannah then headed to the diner and went inside. "Hey Luke, I was wondering if you needed any help?" She said.

"Hannah!" He said surprised. "You're off today."

"I know but I don't mind." She shrugged.

"You ok?" Luke asked.

"Yeh fine. Just bad day at school." She said.

"Ok.." He said not wanting to push her. "You can help deliver the orders."

"Ok." She said and put her apron on before going off to work.

Luke watched her walk around delivering the orders and taking orders. She was perfectly polite to the customers but he could tell she wasn't her normal self. He watched her go up to Kirk who was sat at the counter and could tell she was getting frustrated.

"Kirk, I swear if you don't order like a normal person I'll..." She exclaimed.

Luke went up behind her. "Upstairs." He said firmly.

"But..." Hannah said.

"Upstairs." He said, guiding her to the stairs. "Caesar, hold the fort!"

"Got it boss!" Caesar called.

Luke got Hannah upstairs. "Ok are you going to tell me what's going on? Because I know you and I know you don't just blow up at Kirk like that for no reason." He said.

Hannah sighed and sat down on the sofa. She felt tears sting at her eyes. "I'm sorry." She said quietly.

Luke sighed. "What happened at school?" He asked cautiously.

"It's nothing. It's stupid." Hannah said embarrassed.

"It's not nothing if it got you in this state." He pointed out.

"It's just this guy...I just had a run in with him, that's all." She said embarrassed.

"Run in? What sort of run in?" Luke asked feeling protective.

"It was nothing." She said. "I just misunderstood the signs, that's all. I thought he liked me but I couldn't have been more wrong."

"Oh.." Luke said suddenly feeling a bit awkward. He didn't really know how to talk about this with her.

"I'm sorry I shouted at Kirk. I'll apologise." Hannah said.

"No it's fine. It's Kirk. He'll get over it." Luke said.

Hannah gave him a small smile. She then put her head in her hands. "I just feel so stupid. Even Paris tried to warn me."

"Paris is the...?"

"Scary, intense girl who hates us, yeh." Hannah nodded.

"Right..." Luke said. He sighed. "Look, if a guy treats you like this, he's not worth it." He said awkwardly. "You don't deserve to be messed around. If you see him with someone else, he obviously isn't treating you with respect."

"What if I like him though?" Hannah said quietly. "There's just...something about him..."

Luke shifted his cap awkwardly, not great at these talks. "Just show him you're worth more. If he really likes you, he'll realise what he's doing. Sometimes it just takes time."

Hannah looked up at him. "Is that how you feel when you see mom with different men?" She asked.

"Hannah..." He growled.

"Sorry.." She said quietly. "But for what it's worth, I think she likes you too..."

"So was this mood just because of this jerk?" Luke asked.

Hannah smirked at his use of words for Tristan. "Mostly." She said.

"Mostly?"

Hannah then got an idea. "Hey, you know how to play baseball right?" She asked.

"Uh yeh..." He said confused by the sudden change of subject.

"Could you teach me?" She asked. "I have to learn a sport for Chilton and Rory's already going golfing with our Grandpa. Grandma sort of pushed them into it." Hannah smirked.

"You didn't want to go with them?" Luke asked.

"Nah. Grandma didn't even ask me anyway." Hannah shrugged. "Rory's the perfect one in their eyes."

Luke frowned, angry over their favouritism. "Sure, I can teach you."

"Thanks!" Hannah smiled.

"So you want to keep working?" He asked.

"I should really get to the inn. I promised mom I'd help out at the wedding." She admitted.

"Go on then." He said.

Hannah stood up and walked over to the door. She glanced back and gave Luke a sincere smile. "You really are the best boss." She said.

Luke smiled. "Go on, your mom will be expecting you." He said.

"See you tomorrow." She smiled.

"See ya." He said.

He let out a breath after she had left and he clenched his fists, wanting to strangle this boy who had upset her and also her grandparents for making her feel invisible.

Hannah found Rory and Lorelai sat at the table with the guestbook and went over to them. "Hey, sorry I'm late." She said.

"It's ok. Everything ok?" Lorelai asked concerned.

"Just got held up at Luke's." She said. "I'm good." She assured her.

"Ok good. Well can you two hold the fort for a minute? I just need to go and see some people." Lorelai said.

"Sure." Hannah said sitting down next to Rory.

Rory looked at her. "You look happier." She remarked.

Hannah shrugged. "Just realised Tristan doesn't deserve my attentions."

"Good." Rory agreed. Hannah gave her a look. "What? I just think you deserve better, that's all."

"Yeh I know." Hannah sighed. "It's just...I can't help how I feel. But if he wants to mess me around, fine. I'm not going to get upset about it. He can do what he wants." She said firmly.

Rory raised her eyebrows. "Really?" She said unconvinced.

"Yep." Hannah said.

"Ok." Rory said dropping it. They looked up when they heard raised voices and saw a woman sitting what they assumed was her daughter into a chair and telling her to stay there and not dirty her dress.

"God I'm so glad mom never forced us to do anything like that." Hannah said.

"Yeh, we've been pretty lucky, haven't we?" Rory smiled.

Hannah smiled at her sister and they both watched their mom be the perfect hostess. "Yeh we did good." She said.

So what do you think? Hope you enjoyed it! Review and let me know! :)
