Chapter 3 : Catching Up

 


"Hey Mary." The blonde walked over to the table she and Jess were sitting at.

Rory jumped up and gave him a hug and he hugged her back. Tristan noticed Jess's confused face, and also the hints of jealousy in his eyes.

"Oh, let me introduce you two." Rory said. "Jess, this is Tristan from Chilton, Tristan, this is my boyfriend Jess."

"What happened to bagboy?" Tristan smirked as did Jess

"Wow, the both of us hate BagBoy. We're gonna be good friends." Jess joked

"So what happened? I thought you were in military school?" Rory asked

"Parents said I could come home for senior year." He replied

"That's great!" she replied enthusiastically

"So how long have you two been together?" Tristan asked

"Not long." Jess replied putting his arm around Rory.

"Well I'd love to stay and talk, but I have to go Mare, I'll see you around school." He gave her another hug and an awkward wave. "Bye Jess" he nodded at him

"So that was evil Tristan?" Jess asked as they began to walk around outside.

"Yup. I guess he isn't so evil anymore. That might have been our most civilized conversation."

Jess just nodded.

"Awww your not jealous of Tristan are you?" she teased him

"No" he replied

"Yes you are! Jess, I don't love him. I love you!" she said putting both arms around his shoulders and standing on tip toe. She reached up and gave him a kiss.

"Come on, lets go." He said tickling her.

They spent the rest of the day walking around Hartford, their hands never losing grip from one anothers.

Back at home, Lorelai and Rory were spending the last night of summer vacation at Luke's diner.

"I can't believe we're starting our senior year!" Rory said

"I know. Tomorrow is your last first day of high school!" Lorelai cried.

"Hey Ror, come to the diner in the morning." Jess said

"OK." She replied

"Hey Ror?" It's getting late, why don't we head home so that you can get ready for tomorrow?" Lorelai asked

"OK mom, let me say good bye to Jess. I think he's in the kitchen."

Rory walked through the kitchen doors to find Jess cleaning up.

"We're going Jess."

"Wait!"

"Yea?"

Jess walked over to her and pulled her into a deep kiss.

"Sweet dreams." He whispered

"I love you." She whispered back.

Next Morning*

"Rory! It's seven, better get up!" Lorelai shouted into Rory's bedroom

"I'm already up!" she shouted back.

Rory emerged from her bedroom wearing the Chilton uniform, her hair was down, and she had on a small amount of makeup.

"Come on. Let's walk over to Luke's." Lorelai grabbed Rory's things and they began to walk over.

"I can't believe you a senior!" Lorelai gushed

"I'm gonna be in college next year!" she exclaimed

"No!! I don't want to think about college yet!" Lorelai covered her ears as the entered the diner.

Jess was pouring coffee for Kirk as they walked in. When he spotted Rory and Lorelai, he called to Luke, "Taking a break!" and went to sit and eat with them.

Luke came to the table to take their orders.

"I'll have blueberry pancakes." Lorelai said

"Strawberry pancakes please." Rory said

"I'll have plain pancakes." Jess said.

"Ooohh and a pot of coffee." Lorelai added

"I'll be right back." Luke said

"So, you nervous about going back?" Jess asked Rory

"No, it was hard the first year, but I made some friends so it isn't that bad." She replied

Luke arrived with everyone's food and they began to eat. Less than five minutes later, the bus pulled up.

"Augh, I have to go. Love ya mom!" she said

"I'll walk you over there." Jess said getting up and taking her hand. He opened the door for her and lead her outside.

"I'll be back later." They kissed and Rory climbed on the bus. She waved to Jess as the bus pulled out.

Rory entered the familiar halls of Chilton half an hour later. She walked over to her locker and tried to open it, when Tristan came up from behind her and hit the locker.

"Hey Tristan." She said

"Hey Mary. I'd like you to meet my girlfriend. Annastasia." He nodded to a pretty, not slutty girl with long brown hair. She seemed different from the girls he used to date.

"Hi Annastasia, it's nice to meet you." She smiled

"Hi Rory, it's nice to meet you too."

The three of them compared scedules and discovered that they were in all the same classes except for gym, which Rory and Annastasia had together.

"Oh, I have to go down the headmaster's office for a minute." Annastasia said

"We'll see you later." Tristan replied giving her a small kiss

"So she seems nice." Rory told him

"She is. We've been going out for about a month now. I met her at a benefit my parents brought me too. It was to help save the whales or something. She organized it." He replied

"She seems different than all the other girls you've dated." She said smiling

"She's better." He replied

"Hey, maybe you and Annastasia would like to go out with Jess and me." Rory suggested

"Yea, that sounds like fun. I'll talk to her about it. OK, have her call me. You know my number right?"

"Will do."

"I have to go, talk to you later!"
