The Golden Child

Dating?

Listening to Cher, I sat on my bed and was desperately trying to concentrate on reading a book that laid in front of me, however, I was distracted by the series of events that happened less than a week ago. The ways that Jess Mariano toyed with my emotions, and how he could change a person from being a millisecond away from severely hurting him, to making them extremely elated was what I found extraordinary. 

"Hey." A voice came from the doorway, distracting my train of thought. 

"Oh hey Rory." I replied.

"Wow, what planet were you on?" 

"Oh you know, Mars."

"Huh."

"Did you want something, or did you just come in my room to annoy me when I'm trying to read."

"Pfft, you weren't reading, you were just staring into space."

"Whatever, we don't all have the concentration and focus like you. What do you want?"

"I might as well say it, the entire town's wondering about it."

"Wondering about what?"

"Umm...well..."

"Come on Rory, some people are dying with anticipation here."

"Well, are you and Jess dating?"

The room was unusually quiet for a few minutes. The words that Rory said slowly processed through my mind."

"Come on Charlie, some people are dying with anticipation here."

"Oh now don't mock."

"Well what else am I supposed to do."

"Be patient."

"Just give me an answer."

"I don't know."

"What don't you know?"

"The circumference of the Earth Rory, what do you think."

"But I thought there were only two answers in this situation."

"Well clearly there aren't. You've got a boyfriend you should have some idea with what I'm feeling right now."

"I do, however, I don't think the rest of Stars Hollow do."

"Well tell Taylor and Kirk to mind their own business."

"Have you met the town, they won't stop harassing you, me or Jess."

"It's not just up to me, it's also how Jess feels."

"So why don't you go to Luke's and talk to him."

"That sounds great in theory, but things have been weird since the kiss."

"But that was weeks ago."

"Yeah...but I don't know." I say, squirming in my own bed."

Sensing my discomfort, Rory asked, "Would you like me to come with you?"  

"Would you."

"Well what are twins for?"

"Switching places when taking a maths test."

"I was going along the lines of helping each other out, but if that's how you want to see it."

"Aww, you're my favourite twin."

"I'm also your only twin."

"That we know of."

"But that would make us and the other person triplets."
