Act 2 | 1: "Yeah about that..."

"YOU AND JESS!?!?" Rory exclaims over the phone "I did not see that coming" she admits, sighing. Rory's been away for the summer so we've only called a few times. "Well... before he left for New York that time, we sort of kissed in him and Luke's apartment" I murmur quietly. "AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!?!?" She scowls me through the line.

"I'm sorry but I'll tell you everything when you get back tomorrow" I hear a noise in the background of the line, "hey what is that?" I ask her curiously "that's just Paris, she talks in her sleep" I hummed in response and yawned, I'd finally see her tomorrow after having a whole summer of a whiny Dean. Thank God. I can't take anymore of it. It is sweet though.

Jess was leaving a trail of kisses down my neck as we came to a stop at Doose's market. Jess was a very publicly affectionate person, and I kind of loved that. "JESS" I laughed out as he kept going with what he calls his, 'masterpieces'. Pulling me in by my waist, he brings his face from the crook of my neck and places his lips on my own. "Jess, pleasee" I whimper softly against his lips as I pull away. "Oh I got you good" he says, I follow his eyes that are trailing down my neck. Immediately I feel my face go flush and eyes widen. And when he starts laughing I bring my hand up to cover my neck which Jess immediately pulls my hand away. Bringing his forehead to mine. "Relax I'm screwing with you. There's nothing there."  I let out a long relaxed breath. I really thought I'd be walking around Stars Hollow with purple marks on my neck. Courtesy of Jess. My boyfriend.

We'd been walking in circles around stars hollow for what seemed like forever. His arms wrapped around my waist, not letting go. "You know what we haven't done in a while?" I asked him, knowing he probably wouldn't get the answer. He shakes his head, "had coffee?" He answers and I look up at him with furrowed brows and eyes that said, 'really?'. "We haven't caused much trouble around here recently" I teased, remembering the reason I fell for him in the first place.

Smiling at myself I don't even realise we'd came to a stop. "Maria!" She yells across the road at me, and I look up to Jess and then look at her. Rory. Finally she was back. "No more moping Dean" i sighed and looked at Jess who just laughed at that. They still had made no progress to get along. Rory runs over me to give me a hug, but Jess won't let me go. "Hey get you're own" he says possessively, his grip around my waist tightening, "hey you have to remember I was here first" Rory argues back at him who finally lets me go. Though I do miss the warmth of his arm around me. Immediately I bring Rory into my embrace. "You have to tell me everything" she whispers in my ear. Obviously talking about the Jess situation and how she leaves and I'm in a relationship all of a sudden.

We were sitting on Rory's bed and I was explaining all that happened. "I tried so hard to hate him, but I couldn't, first there was something about how he'd try to one up me, then all of a sudden his eyes were really gorgeous and I just fell for him." I was rambling, I hadn't even asked Rory anything about her time away, "so what about you, anything new??" I questioned, about to get ready for a huge story. Surprisingly wrong. "It was good, Paris got asked out and I had to hide in a closet" She commented, pursing her lips and nodding. She was being considerably weird.

"Are you ready to go back to Chilton?" I questioned Rory, I knew she was always eager about her studies. "Of course I am, you?" She asks... "Yeah about that..." I trailed off, I wasn't prepared to tell anyone about the letter I got before the end of last year. "It'll probably just be another boring year" i finish for myself before Rory asks me questions. Then I'd have to tell her that I received a letter telling me that I'd been expelled. Always a happy family topic. Not even Jess knew...

Waking up on the last day of Summer was not as daunting as I thought. Today was the day I'd have to tell Jess that I wasn't coming back to School. The letter had said.

Dear Miss Forester,
It has came to our attention that your attendance has came below 63%. This is below the standard and unacceptable for any of our students. Unfortunately due to your poor attendance and grades, we have came to the formal decision that you shall not be returning for the next academic year. We understand that this is a very unfortunate matter, and we did not want to make this decision. But it is completely unacceptable for our students to become restless. We wish you luck in your future.

-Stars Hollow High.

Honestly I was thinking of framing it and putting it on my wall. Biggest achievement for me, being expelled from Stars Hollow High. I'm not sure if I've heard of anyone who's done that. I just wasn't sure how I was going to tell anyone. The only one who knows is Dean and he wasn't even surprised when I showed him the letter.
