Chapter 22: Moving

Stars Hollow Elementary School 4pm

A rush knocking on the classroom door before a man walked in.

' Hello Mr Danes, it's nice to finally meet you! I'm Mrs. Owens.' Jess's teacher greeted a catching breathe Luke.

' I came here as soon as I can. What did Jess do this time? Did he break another window? Fight another kid? Throw chalks at you?' Luke panicked, he knew his nephew wasn't the best angel at school, the school had called Luke before but had never had to schedule a time for a parent-teacher conference for any of the mischiefs the boy did.

' Have a seat, Mr Danes.' Mrs. Owen gave him a small smile.

Luke sat down and sighed, ' Please just tell me right now, it will save me a trip to the hospital. How much do I need to pay this time for the damage?'

' Mr. Danes, Jess did not break any windows or nose this time.'

Luke widened his eyes in fear, ' Did he swing some kid with the bat and knocked the kid out or something along the line?! Oh god, I need a minute for this.'

' No, Mr. Danes, Jess had not been involved in any fights or any physical injuries since the broken window. This is about Jess's grade.' Mrs. Owens looked at Luke with concern.

' His grades?' Luke was surprised, of everything that he was concerned for Jess, grades had never made it to the top 5 list.

' Yes, I'm afraid. Don't get me wrong, Jess is a very intelligent boy. But he had not been handing in assignments, or doing okay in any tests or quizzes.'

' What do you mean he had not been handing in assignments? I watch him sitting in the diner everyday after school, holding a pencil!' Luke exclaimed.

' I don't know what to say, Mr. Danes but Jess had not been handing in any homework since January. Did something happen in the family that affects Jess? It is just elementary school, we don't have a very strict assignment grades or regulations in holding back a student for the year for the grades. But as teachers, we are just very concern for Jess. Do you check Jess' homework or help him study in any way?'

' Uh... I..I don't check his homework, I do remind him to do his homework everyday though.' Luke replied, he didn't know he had to check Jess' homework.

Mrs. Owen nodded, ' I understand you have a business to run, Mr. Danes. And there might be limited time you get to bond and nurture Jess. But may be you should start checking his homework daily and help him prepare for tests occasionally. It will be a good start for getting Jess back on track.'

' Okay I will start from there.' Luke nodded in agreement, ' Jess is not going to be held back by the school right?'

' No, but he is really falling behind, he had not been passing his quizzes or tests. He is really a smart child, he just doesn't apply himself. For example, look at this quiz.' Mrs. Owen took out a paper out of a pile.

Luke raised his eyebrows, ' he left the whole page blank!'

' At least he wrote his name and drew some pictures on the paper.' Mrs. Owen comforts him with a nervous smile.

Luke stood up, ' Okay, I'm going to solve this. Thank you Mrs. Owen.' He shook her hand and went out of the door.

Luke's apartment 4:45pm

Luke entered the apartment to be almost tripped by Jess' schoolbag, sneakers and jacket which were all just scattered on the ground. He found Jess lying on the couch with a book in hand and watching TV.

'Well, if we don't, we'll never find out what happened to the missing professor. Shaggy, you start up, and I'll get the jack out of the Mystery Machine...wait, where is scooby?'

Luke found the remote control and switched off the TV without hesitation.

The all engaged in the mystery adventure of scooby-doo boy immediately turned his attention to the arm crossed Luke, ' I'm watching it, Uncle Luke!'

' Say goodbye to TV for the rest of your life until you start doing your homework and actually try hard on your tests!' Luke yelled and put the remote control on the very top of his closet. Where Jess could never be able to reach unless he finds a ladder.

' I've been doing homework.' Jess lied, acting all innocent.

Luke crossed his arms around his chest, ' oh really? Show me the ones you did today.'

' Well there isn't any homework today.'

' Do I need to call Rory and verify?'

Jess sighed and confessed, ' homework's stupid! I'm learning nothing from doing homework!'

' Homework is stupid huh? You know I went to see Mrs. Owens today.'

' Mrs. Owens is married and I thought Lorelai is your girlfriend.' Jess joked.

' Hey! This is not the time to joke around, Jess. This is serious matter.' Luke shouted, before he took a deep breathe, ' from now on, you will do your homework, study for your tests and actually write things down on your test paper. I will check your homework every night after I close up and I will help you the best I can to prepare for the tests. I will not have you failing anymore! Do you hear me!'

Jess frowned, he didn't like the idea that his uncle is trying to interrupt his freedom. Back in New York, his mother never give a damn about his grades or homework. ' I'm not going to do those stupid homework!'

' Oh you sure are.' Luke continued.

' Never.' Jess challenged back.

' You are going to start doing your homework whether you like it or not.' Luke warned.

' I'm NOT GOING TO DO MY HOMEWORK! And you know you can't hit me anymore!' Jess shouted back.

Luke was on the verge of mental breakdown, his temper was building up, but he knew he had to calm down. He calmly stated, ' Jess, put your bag in your room, get your assignments out and sit at the dinning table and start doing your homework. Don't make me repeat that.'

' Luke, you have a job, running a diner, serving coffees, taking orders. Now go downstairs and start your work. Don't make me repeat that.' Jess shotted back.

Luke had enough, he picked up Jess' schoolbag in one hand and carried the boy with his other arm and sat the boy down at the table. He then proceed to pour out all the books inside Jess' bag. ' We are going to sit here as long as we need to, until you start flipping the pages and do your homework.'

' You can't sit here all day, you have work downstairs.'

' I'll put Caesar in charge. Now start.'

Jess was sitting across Luke, he knew Luke meant business this time, there's no way out of this chair if he doesn't finish his dreadful assignments. He reluctantly picked up his math book and began to flip to the page.

After doing the first math problem on the page, Jess was getting tired, ' Can I take a nap?'

' Yes, you can. After you finish it.'

' But there's like 6 questions!' Jess whined.

' You already finished the first one. Five more, I know you can do it!' Luke encouraged.

Jess sighed and mumbled the second question, 'Mrs. Hilt bought a hot dog for $1.75 and a bag of chips for 75 cents. Her sister bought 2 hot dogs and 2 bags of chips. How much more money did her sister spend. Bla, bla, bla.' He walked out of the chair before Luke could stop him and opened the drawer of Luke's desk and grabbed a calculator.

' What do you think you're doing?' Luke watched his nephew's every move.

' Doing my homework.'

' You're not supposed to use a calculator, Jess.' Luke grabbed the calculator from Jess.

' This is a waste of time! Why do we even have to learn this and do it with our hands! Everyone uses a calculator eventually!' Jess argued, ' Uncle Luke, your cashier machine helps you calculate too!'

Luke sighed, 'Jess, please just do it. I will think about giving you back the lego set if you finish everything.'

' Fine.' Jess grumbled and plot his eyes back to his assignment.

' Lukeeeee!' a singing Lorelai walking up the stairs and knocked at the apartment door.

Luke opened the door, ' Hey.'

' What you doing up here? I'm in desperate need of a nice cheese burger.'

Luke went back to sitting next to Jess, ' Caesar can make it for you, you know.'

' But he doesn't make it the way you do!' Lorelai pouted and walked to the dining table. ' Luke you're not doing anything but sitting down right now, so why can't you make me a cheese burger?'

' I can't. Because I need to check Jess' homework.'

Lorelai chuckled, ' You helping Jess with homework?'

'Yes.' Luke rolled his eyes.

' Since when?'

'Since I had a meeting with his teacher and found out he hasn't been doing his homework or passing any tests!'

Jess put down his pencil and laid his head down on the table, ' done! Can I go now?'

' yes, you can leave this chair now.'

' Thanks god!'

' Does that mean I can get my cheese burger?' Lorelai grinned.

Luke sighed, 'yes.'

The three headed down to the diner.

Jess found Rory sitting at one of the tables, he went and sat next to her.

' What are you doing?' Asked Jess.

' Studying for tomorrow's big test.' Rory replied, still looking at her textbook.

' We have a test tomorrow?!' Jess exclaimed.

Lorelai came back to the table and Luke followed her.

' You didn't know there's a test tomorrow!' Rory exclaimed

'What! You have a test tomorrow!' Luke shouted.

Jess just dropped his head on to the table, Luke knowing this means that he had to start studying now also.

' Okay, everyone out! Diner's close, everything that haven't been paid is on me!' Luke announced.

' It's not that big of a deal, uncle Luke!'

' Big deal or not, you are going to study for the test and I will sit next to you and help you!'

' Luke you don't have to close down, I can help Jess, Rory needs my help too anyway.' Lorelai suggested.

' no Lorelai I have to do this. I don't want the school to think that I'm too busy to be taking care of Jess.'

' The test is lame! It's memorizing all the state names and a city and one cool fact of the state! We don't have to study for it!' Jess complained.

' Really? You know all your states?' Luke questioned.

' Yup.' Jess replied. ' Yankees is from New York, Red Sox is from Boston, which is Massachusetts, White sox is from Chicago, which is Illinois, LA Dodgers, California, Cardinal, Missouri, Astros, Texas...'

' okay so you know all the states that has baseball teams. How do you spell Massachusetts?'

' Easy. M-A-S-S-A massa, C-H-U chu, S-a-t-t-S.'

'Nope. it's m-a-s-s-a-c-h-u-s-e-t-t-s.' Rory corrected.

' Well I guess that means we have to study bud.' Luke announced.

' Argh, life's not fair!' Jess groaned.

9:30pm

Luke and Jess spent the entire night working on the test. Luke made sure Jess remembered every single state, a city and one cool fact.

Jess was lying down on his bed and Luke was about to tuck him in.

' Seattle?' Luke asked.

' Washington, Seattle Seahawks.'

Luke gave him a thumbs up.

' Boston?'

' Disgusting Red Sox, Massachusetts M-A-S-S-A-C-H-U-S-E-T-T-S.'

' Good job.'

' Last one before I switch off the light. Toronto?'

' Hey, that's not an American City!'

Luke smirked, ' good you know the difference. Goodnight.'

' Are you going to be angry if I still don't pass it?'

' Of course you will pass. Don't say that.'

' But may be I'm dumb like that.' Jess mumbled, looking down at Speedy his stuffed animal.

' You're not dumb, Jess. Whoever said you're dumb, is dumb.' Luke assured him with a warm smile. He ruffled the boys hair before he switched off the night light, ' You will do fine, I promise.'

' Okay, goodnight.' Jess replied before he hugged speedy tightly and closed his eyes.

' Goodnight.'

8:30am Stars Hollow Elementary School

The class has just started the test, Jess' palms were sweating, he had never been so nervous about a test in his life. He wanted to do well do make Luke proud more than anything. Once he got the paper, he started filling it in as quickly as he can.

2. State: New York City: New York City Fact: I was born there 8 years ago and my favourite baseball team is NY Yankees.

3. State: Connecticut City: Stars Hollow, I know it's a town, but it's better than other cities in Connecticut Fact: This is where my home is.

'Jess?' Mrs. Owen walked to Jess' desk and whispered to him.

Jess was so focused, her voice caused him to drop his pencil, ' huh?'

' Jess, can you please go to the general office right now?'

' But I'm doing my test! I didn't do anything!'

Mrs. Owen assured him, ' oh no, you're not in trouble. Just pack your bags and go down. You can finish your test tomorrow.'

' Pack my bags?' Jess was now completely confused.

' Yes.' Mrs. Owen replied, still in her whispering voice, ' your mom is waiting.'
