Lucille in Stars Hollow

Lisa's confession

 I was woken by the sound of hammering outside the house.

"Oh my god!" I yelled, jumping out of bed and tiredly walking to Rory's room.

I shook her bed.

"Why are you waking me up?" She groaned.

"I'm waking you up? Can you not hear the hammering!?" I asked through gritted teeth. She replied by putting a pillow over her head.

As I went to see what the noise was, I saw Lorelai coming down from upstairs.

"What is that?" She asked, half asleep.

"I don't know. I'm checking." I opened up the front door only to see Luke fixing our porch rail.

"Oh, hi, Lucy."

I checked my watch in a dramatic fashion. "Luke, do you know what time it is?"

"Yeah. It's around six thirty," he responded, so nonchalantly.

"Well, I don't know if you know this, but most normal people are asleep at six thirty."

"You're crabby."

"Really? Maybe it's because someone woke me up by hammering our not-so-broken handrail!" I yelled.

"What's going on out here?" Rory asked, emerging from the house.

"Oh, now Sleeping Beauty's hearing it!"

"Okay, now I'm sleepy and annoyed."

"Don't blame me!" I laughed. "Blame Lu—." He was gone.

"He was just here a minute ago," I muttered as Rory led me inside.

"Bye," I said to Rory and Lorelai as I left the diner.

I slowly walked to school. I wasn't even in the building and I could see people whispering.

I met their gazes, searching for the person who was giving me too much credit.

I ran over to the picnic table. "Can I borrow Leo for a moment?"

Leo looked up at me as his friends whistled and said things like, "Leo's in trou-ble."

Once I had led him away from prying eyes, I got the terrible urge to punch him.

"What's wrong?" He asked. I laughed, until I realized he wasn't kidding.

"What do you mean, 'What's wrong'? You know what's wrong, Leo." Still, he looked confused. "You started a rumor about me!"

"It's all true, Lucy. Everything I said!" He said, trying to put up a good defense.

"That's all you're going to say? You didn't even apologize! Leo, nothing you said was true!"

"Well, you did yell at me..."

"Yeah, for good reasons that you clearly left out of the narrative!" Now I was drawing even more attention to myself, screaming at my ex in the middle of the schoolyard.

"Lucy, I have to get to school," Leo complained. "Speaking of which, haven't seen you around lately. You've really fallen behind in class. The teachers are going to talk to your mom soon."

I chuckled. "You think I really care? I don't care about school or what you think of me or what they think of me." I gestured to the other students.

"Really? Then why are you yelling at me?" Then he turned around and left.
