PART 4
Stars Hollow
Doose’s MarketAlicia walked to Doose’s Market. ‘I need junk food,’ she thought (mentally making a list), ‘and soda, and ice cream.’ She was walking around trying to get a feel for her new surroundings.
“Can I help you?” a voice asked coming from behind her.
She turned around and her eyes fell upon a young teenage boy. He had beautiful eyes, and a sweet face. ‘Look at his body,’ she silently thought to herself. It seemed like an eternity before her mind could function again and allow her to speak. “Umm…that would be great,” Alicia said. ‘Don’t blow it!’ she commanded herself.
“My names Dean,” he introduced himself.
“I’m Alicia,” she replied, following his lead.
“What can I help you find?” he politely asked.
“Soda, junk food, chips, and ice cream,” Alicia listed.
“You must be new here to Stars Hollow. I’ve never seen you around,” Dean commented, leading her to the assorted selections of ice cream.
“Yes, Mr. Observant. Just got here Sunday. It seems like a nice place,” she retorted, subconsciously fixing her hair.
“Hey are you looking for a job?” Dean questioned, changing the subject. He was constantly looking from her to the floor while her eyes were jumping all over the store.
“Umm. Yeah I guess,” she replied extremely nervous.
He handed her a piece of paper. “Well we are hiring,” he said. “Here’s an application, in case you’re interested.”
“Sure, OH hey look here’s the soda,” Alicia said shifting the topic of discussion. She picked up six cans of coke and placed them in a basket that she held in her right hand. “Now where’s the ice cream?” she asked.
“Behind you,” he told her as he turned her around.
“Sorry. I’m such a blonde,” she laughed. ‘I’m such and idiot!’ she chastised herself. She picked out three Ben & Jerry’s flavors. Two Triple Carmel Chunk, and one Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz.
“On to your junk food selection,” Dean mentioned taking her free hand, (her left hand), and walking to the second aisle. It was filled with chips, and candy. Alicia grabbed anything chocolate and three canisters of Nacho flavored Pringles. “You have plans tonight with someone tonight?” he asked.
“Yeah two people,” Alicia replied nonchalantly. “My sisters,” she added. Dean’s attention perked up.
“I see,” he said smiling.
‘His smile id drop-dead gorgeous,’ she thought. Alicia turned and started to walk out of the aisle ahead of Dean.
“Is that a real tattoo?” he questioned looking intrigued.
“Yes sir it is. I designed it myself,” Alicia bragged to him fumbling with the basket in her hand.
“It’s cool,” he complimented. He seemed calm, always having a response ready.
‘Does he think I’m a freak?’ Alicia asked herself. That question was the source of her uneasiness. She was normally cool and collected but Stars Hollow was a different place, with new people. She always had a sixth sense on knowing how to deal with guys. Out in California you were a freak and you dated freaks. But Stars Hollow seemed to be mostly ‘Preppy’ people. Her arms dropped to her side, which revealed a shiny spiral object. “I have a belly button ring too.”
He joked, “A rebel are we? Your hair, piercing, a tattoo.”
‘Oh no. He does think I’m some punk rebel…freaky person!’ she convinced herself. “My sisters and I, we…uh…we like to call our selves Jaded,” she stammered. “Our band, we have a band, and we’re called Jaded Youth,” Alicia tried to explain sounding like a seventeen year old. She reached into her pocket and produced a lime green flyer.
“What’s this?” he asked Alicia as he was unfolding as the approached the register.
“Jaded Youth’s first gig on the East coast,” she answered. “In case someone you know might wanna go unless that someone is working…”
“That someone will be there,” he assured her smiling.
‘A Kodak moment, the way his hair fell in his face at just the right spot. It was incalculable. Soda: $5, Candy: $10, Ice Cream: $12, Seeing Dean Bag Groceries: Priceless,’ Alicia pondered, thinking about that commercial. She had a huge grin on her face. She began to fill out her application.
“What’s that big smile for?” he asked, extremely curious.
“Just wondering what time you get off from work.”
He answered, “About forty minutes. Would you like to join me for a pizza and a walk around town?” he asked.
“I’d love to…I mean that would be cool,” she said, hardly able to contain her excitement. She finished filling out her application and handed it to him. “I’ll meet you back here at six then?” Alicia questioned, double-checking with him.
“See you at six,” Dean replied, smiling at her.
Alicia walked out of the store in her glory. Dean didn’t seem like anyone she would have ever dated out in California. Alicia seemed to dance all the way back to the Inn. She walked into the Inn and up the stairs to their room. She opened the door and discovered Cindy doing Homework while Lauren was listening to Blink 182.
“What took you so long?” Lauren demanded grabbing the bags of food.
“Oh no…look at that smile. Alicia what did you do now?” Cindy asked knowing that this smile was new and it seemed like trouble.
“What havok did you cause this time? Seems like more than Satan’s normal hell raising disasters,” Lauren said motioning to Cindy when she made the Satan remark.
“Satan’s just my stage name. Like your Aliem or Crack Monkey and Alicia is Psycho Bitch!” Cindy defended. “
“Yours is more than JUST a stage name…its you!” Lauren laughed.
“That’s it blame me every time something happens!! I’m the princess,” she started, “[of the underworld]” she mumbled. Always coming off as sweet and innocent, but watch out…Cindy is Satan.
“HELLO??? Back to me guys!” Alicia yelled at them while they were bickering. “I have, well I guess you can say a date, with this guy Dean from Doose’s Market!” Alicia squealed and giggled as she explained this excessive giddiness to her sisters.
“OOOO!” Cindy and Lauren cooed in unison.
“STOP IT!” Alicia screeched at them. “You have your junk food, now I have to go,” she said walking out.
“Have fun!” Cindy yelled.
“BYE!” Lauren shouted.
