Chapter 2
TuesdayTuesday at Chilton, Rory is in the library waiting for Paris's arrival so they can continue their project together. While waiting for her, Rory continued to read he poetry book, and keeping an eye on the door, naturaly when she usualy reads she blanks out all other sounds, so when the door opened and Paris entered the library Rory never saw her. As Paris enters the library, she notices that Rory is reeding a book, wondering what book she's reading she approaches her and looks at the cover, as she realizes that it poetry, she thinks that this girls is almost identical to herself in many ways. She pulls a chair in front of Rory, and sits down while depositing her books on the table. Rory lifts up her head and puts away her book, but before she has a chance to put it in her bag Paris asks to see it. Rory hands the book to Paris, and looks at Paris while she rifles through the pages, admiring the book age and condition, while opening the book cover she also notices that's it's a first edition book, she then looks at Rory with surprise and says.
"Very nice book Rory, it's a first edition, where did you get it?" asks Paris really interested in knowing.
"My grandfather got it for me, he was in Hamburgh, when he found it, and remembered that I like poetry, so he bought it for me" smiling at the memory of when her grandfather and her talk about books at the country club that he belongs to.
"God your lucky, both of my grandparents died when I was young" a little sad about it.
"Sorry about your grandparents" says Rory feeling bad about bringing up the subject.
"Oh it's ok, it was so long ago, I barely remember them" talking with a frown on her face.
"Do you remember if they were nice" trying to bring the good memories to the surface.
"Yeh they were great, always smiling and making me laught" smiling at the memory.
"I just started to know my grandparents, we never really visited them much before, my mother and grandmother don't really get along."
"Why don't they get along?" very curiously
"Well mom got pregnant at sixteen and left home got a job and raised me without asking for help, so they kind of got cut out of our lives"
"Wow, I can't imagine having to tell my parents or even having a child at sixteen I would've freaked"
"From what I've heard about it, my grandparents really freaked, they wanted Christopher, that's my father to marry my mom, my grandfather would've given him a job at the insurance company. But my mom said no to marriage and left home. My dad went to California, he opened an Internet business of some sort, it's supposed to be making a lot of money now"
"I wondered why your mother looked so young, I mean if you look at the other mothers, they are all old," thinking about how her own mother looks.
"Yeh she's like my best friend we do everything together, even go to concerts, we talk about everything, even guys"
"Gees your lucky, if I even tried to talk to my mother about guys, she would freak out and yell at me for hours. Since their divorce she's been closed mouth about everything"
"Have you ever tried to talk to her, about how you're feeling about their divorce"
"No I can't relate to her anymore, she's always crying and yelling at me, for no apparent reason, she's starting to make me go nuts" with tears in her eyes.
Rory gets up and puts her arms around Paris putting Paris's head on her shoulder, Paris breaks down and cries. A little later, they separate and Paris thanks Rory for her support and starts to talk about how the divorce is affecting her and her mother. Rory sits there and listens to Paris talk and empty herself of all the cooped up emotions, that was building up inside. Bit by bit she starts to feel better and starts to ask Rory about her life and friends.
"Tell me about your friends"
"Well Lane is Korean-American, she's pretty cool, but her mom is very strict, she decides who Lane can date, what she can eat and everything else. My boyfriend Dean is pretty cool, his birthday is Saturday, and I still haven't bought his gift, so my mom and me are going to the Hartford Mall Thursday afternoon."
"Is that the guy that you brought at the dance, the one that almost got in a fight with Tristin" smilling a bit.
"Yes, he's the one
"He looked nice, and man is he tall, how is he at kissing?"
"Very good at kissing" feeling the heat rise in her face and knowing that her face is totally red.
"Tristin was weird that night, trying to get in a fight with him, what did you say to make him go berzerk that way?" looking interrested.
"Nothing, me and Dean were having a good time. Then we then decided to leave to get some coffee in Stars Hollow and take a walk and talk. He then got up to get our coats and on the way back Tristin blocked his way and threatned him, then he tried to grab my arm and Dean protected me from him"
"God what a great boyfriend, you must of felt great with him"
"Yes but I also felt weird about a guy defending my honor that way, it was the first time, that something like that has ever happened to me. While me and Dean were walking in Stars Hollow I asked Dean why would Tristin act like that and he said that he has a thing for me like a crush or something, is that crazy or what?"
"I don't think so, I mean look at the way he is in school, he always bugs you maybe he doesn't know how to talk to you, he might be extremely shy." Paris answers
"I really don't care much about Tristin, I mean you can have him, you seam to like him enough, maybe you should ask him out"
"I can't I'm too shy to ask him out. Everytime I look at him my knees get weak and I get tounged tied and screw up what I was about to say, it's like my brain shuts down and I want to shove my head in the sand like an austriche."
"Well maybe we can figure out something later, let's get to work on our project, ok"
"Sure ok, no problem, I'm glad we talked, it did help releive some presure, and made me feel better, thanks"
Rory looked at Paris and started to feel a connection to the other girl, a kind of fellowship or friendship developing, it is a beginning at least, she liked the way the other girl thought. She decided that yes they would be friends at a later date.
As the afternoon proceded, they got most of the work done on their project, after a while they put their books away Rory and Paris talked about themselves, then the conversation went towards boys.
"How could I make Tristin my boyfriend?" Paris asks.
"That's not going to be easy," Rory says.
"Got that right!"
"Maybe you could do the opposite of what he expects like totally ignore him, you know pass right in front of him look and not say a word"
"That could work, maybe I could change my look, a little bit"
"Another Possibility" Rory says with a smile.
After pitching ideas for a while and laughing at most of them, they start to pick up their backpacks and start to leave the library, at this moment Tristin enters and notices Rory and Paris, he then walks up to them.
"Hello Mary" says Tristin with a smirk.
Rory just ignores him and walks past heading towards the exit, Paris followed, but then Tristin stepped in front of her and says.
"Paris your stuck working with an un-educated Mary" smiling at his own joke, then noticed something different about her stance.
Paris looks into tristin eyes and then just continues to follow Rory without saying one word to him. Tristin recoils inside of himself and thinks about what just happened. Not understanding how Paris did not answer him, she always had before, he knew that she had a crush on him, but this time did not even answer and the look she gave him was unerving to say the least.
Steping outside the library, Rory and Paris looked at each other and started laughing.
"Oh god, the face that he made when I just left without speaking to him, was precious, I think he noticed me now" Paris says smiling to herself.
"Paris lets get to class before the bell goes off" they both started to hurry down the corridore.
