Invisible String (A Gilmore Girls Story)

Chapter Eight: Birthday kiss

Of course, I did not know my grandmother was throwing me a party, and of course, she would not tell me.

I then thought about..why she would in the first place, She hates me, and I hate her.

I then got out of my own thought by Paris waving her hand over my face.

"Earth to Isabelle, Earth to Isabelle," She says, trying to get my attention.

I then looked at her, She had a curious look on her face and an annoyed face along with it.

"What is wrong with you?" She asks me.

I could tell her the truth. She did see me as her friend.

"I just.. I didn't know my grandmother was throwing a party for me, is all," I tell her.

She couldn't believe it herself, How could I not have known about a party thrown in my birthday and Tristan Dugray was invited.

"You seriously didn't know?" She asks me.

I shake my head no, and I place my hands on my face as I can't believe it myself.

She then sighed and spoke in a no-nonsense tone.

"You know, you should he grateful that you're getting a birthday party, I'll be lucky enough if my parents remembered," She says in a jealous tone.

She then got up and stormed off from me. I felt a pang of guilt, I know I was being a bit spoiled and complaining of my grandmother throwing a party in my honor, but she doesn't know that my Grandmother and I don't have the best relationship.

Lunchtime then ended, and Rory and the puffs disbanded, I saw Rory walk over to me with a smile on her face.

She then walked beside me as we walked in a comfortable silence.

I then broke it by asking her the question.

"When we're you going to tell me Grandma was planning a party for me?" I ask her.

Her eyes went wide, and she then realized I knew about it.

"What party?" She says, trying to lie.

I then stopped walking, and I grabbed the hook of her backpack to make her stop walking.

I then turn her to face me and place my hands on my little sisters shoulders.

"Rory, don't you dare lie to me," I say to her.

Her lips then disappeared as she bit her own lips.

"She just told mom. Mom told me, "And don't worry. Mom did her best to stop her, " she explained to me.

At least mom did try and stop her.

I nod in approval.

"So, I do have to go, don't I?" I ask her.

"Yes Iss, you have to go, or Grandma will kill you herself..or sue you" 

I then let my hands off her shoulders. And I sighed in frustration.

"If it makes you feel better, Me and Mom got Stars hollow to agree to celebrate your birthday," Rory says with a smile.

How in the world did they do that? I looked up at her since she was 5'7 and I was 5'4.

"How did you manage that?" I ask her.

She shifted her stance a little and fidgeted with her hands.

"It's really complicated," Rory says.

I push no further, and I hear the class bell ring, Great.

Since me and my sister and I had the same class together, we were going to the same location.
