...And as she saw him, she gasped,for she had never expected she would see him again...

“Brrringggg”Lorelai ran for class, even though she knew she would be late, again. She was always late for class, probably because she found no use for geometry,like knowing the measurement of an obtuse angle would help her later on in life. She finally reached the door, 10 seconds too late. The bell had rung, her only hope was to try sneaking in. She looked in through the window and saw her teacher, Mr. Krantel, writing formulas on the board.She quietly opened and shut the door, tiptoed her way to her desk and sat down, with Mr. Krantel still staring at the board.

As he started to write another formula, he spoke,“Ms. Gilmore, see me after class.”

Lorelai dropped her head to the cold desk below and let out a reluctant sigh. Then she took out her notebook and began to take notes. When class was over she gathered her things and walked up to Mr. Krantel’s desk.

“Ms. Gilmore, you are tardy to my class everyday, practically. Why is that?”Mr Krantel asked, as he sat in his seat and started to straighten papers.

“See, Mr. Krantel, I have my own theory about that. If class started, lets say 20 seconds later, I would be here on time, eagerly waiting to take notes. A perfect pupil...”

“..- No, Ms. Gilmore, ‘a perfect pupil would be here 20 seconds earlier, already asking questions and taking notes. A perfect pupil you are not. I will expect to see you in detention, after school. You can go now.” Mr., Krantel, shook his hand for Lorelai to go, and started grading quizzes.

“Can’t wait.”Lorelai said under her breath and left the classroom. She walked down the hall to her locker, and began to put her books in, when someone grabbed her, turned her around, and gave her a long, breathtaking kiss.

“Ummm,, Hello.”Lorelai wrapped her arms around this 16 year old guy and continued,” I just love it when cute guys come up and kiss me, I keep hoping Harrison Ford will do that, but I will deal with you..for now.”

“For now, boy do I feel second best.” The guy responded. “Hey, with Harrison Ford everybody else is second best. Even you, Christopher.”Lorelai told him.

“Hey, why don’t we do something later?”Christopher asked while holding Lorelai in his arms.

“I dunno.”Lorelai replied, making Christopher’s face fall. “ I mean, I have detention, my mom wants to drag me shopping for some ‘coming-out’ dress, my parents wouldn’t let me anyway...”

“Let me take care of that.”Christopher said as the last bell of the school day rung.

“Whaa..how?”

“Go to detention, I’ll take care of it.”

“Okay, if you insist.” Lorelai gave him a strange look and grudgingly went off to detention.

Lorelai sat in detention, staring out the open door when Christopher walked by. He smiled and winked at her and then left. Then the fire alarm went off.

“Okay, guys. Go to the front of the school and wait. I’ll get the attendance sheet.” Mr. Ford, the detention teacher of the day, said searching for the paper while the class went out of the building.

Lorelai was walking quickly to the front doors when Christopher came by and stopped her. “Hey, whatcha doing? There’s a fire in her, c’mon.” Lorelai said pulling his arm.

Christopher laughed and said, “There’s no fire here. I pulled the alarm.”

“I can’t believe you did that.”

“...and got you out of detention.”

“What?! How?”

“You know I’m a computer whiz. I just made it say that you already served your detention.”

“Oh my god! You are the greatest!” Lorelai gave him a long kiss as he took her hand and they ran out of the building to Christopher’s car.

They spent the rest of the afternoon seeing a matinee and strolling hand in hand at a local park. While walking in the park, Christopher and Lorelai were watching ducks swimming in the pond.

“Isn’t that wonderful?” He said, his arm holding on to Lorelai’s body.

“What?”

“Them, the ducks, swimming freely like they have all the time in the world.”He said still gazing at the pond.

“Yeah, all the time in the world...THE TIME! Oh god, what time is it?” Lorelai asked, realizing she was suppose to be at home at five.

“Uh, almost five. Why?”

“I don’t want to, but I have to go home.”Lorelai said, mad that she had to give up her fun to please her parents yet again.

“Well, then don’t. Call your parents and make some excuse.”Christopher said, gesturing towards the pay phone across the street.

“What do I say?”

“I don’t know, their your parents.”

They walked across the street, and Lorelai dialed her parents number.

“Mom, hey. It’s me...yeah, I know I am suppose to be home....well, some of the girls and I are having an emergency study group thing, Mr. Krantel just mentioned this humongous test that’s going to be tomorrow, So we’re going over the material...’when will I be home?’..uh, probably around 11, the test is over the past five chapters and we’re all having a hard time understanding it...yeah, I’m sorry about the shopping thing, how about we do that tomorrow....okay, bye.”Lorelai hung up the phone and let out a huge breath.

“So, what are we going to do tonight?” Lorelai asked.

“My parents aren’t home. How about we rent a couple of movies and order a pizza?”Christopher said.

“Sounds good to me.”Lorelai replied, as she took his hand in hers and they walked to the movie store.
