A State Of Euphoria (J.M)

4

     This was a new situation I didn't know how to handle it "Dean Jess was just-" Jess cuts Rory off "dropping off food per Luke's request."
I nod at this as I hear a crash. I wince hoping that they didn't break anything expensive.
"Hey Ace, they broke your coffee table. I'll pay for it," Logan states, and my eyes widened at him "you drunk assholes!" I walk inside leaving them at the door which apparently gave dean an invite to come inside "Sorry Lena" Finn and Collin day at the same time as I glared at them

"Logan, order a new Coffee table effective immediately!" I demand he nods and pulls out his phone and walks into the kitchen to order it
"You two clean up this mess now!" I yelled, and the scrambled to clean it up. They knew not to argue with me when I was angry especially drunk them knew not to start with me, "Why are they here, Rory!" Dean asks I turn to him annoyed "you do realize this is my house right dean" I spat back he looked taken again maybe because he's never seen me mad

well he was about too "I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but you don't get to tell Rory who the hell she can hang with Jess was being nice!" I stomped my foot just as Logan came back into the room and noticed I was fuming "What Lena is saying is leave," Logan says obviously getting protective now, and suddenly the idiots were up and ready for a fight I loved this side of them but in this case, a match wasn't needed "leave I'll call you" Rory assures him, and he lets out a groan before

leaving the house angrily, and I catch my breath Logan pats my back "Go take a nap, Lena, I'll get this cleaned up and then get these idiots to bed," Logan says I nod at this and head up the stairs.

Waking up the next day to the smell of bacon and eggs was exciting, to say the least as I walked down the steps makeup already done and outfit already on I noticed Logan playing the mom in my kitchen, and Collin Finn Along with Rory eating at the table "have a nice sleep Lena" Finn asks I nod looking over they'd gotten the new coffee table I smiled at this.
"You never cease to amaze me Huntzberger" I admit he laughs at this and throws an arm around my shoulder I lean into him happily.

As. I walked down the Chilton hallways to find my history group for the Romeo and Juliet project, I was a bit late but not late enough to be confused by Tristan Sitting next to my best friend "Selena nice of you to join us 30 minutes late!" Paris scolds as I pulled up a chair and wedged it in between Rory and Tristan Rory moved down I could sit, and when I didn't I noticed Tristan wink at me I just flipped him off quickly

while Paris went on "okay so it's settled Selena as Juliet Tristan as Romeo" my eyes widened at this, but Tristan had never looked happier I glared at him before shaking my head "Nope not doing it" I state before crossing my arms annoyingly "it's either you or Rory" Louis says, and I groan I didn't want Rory to have to go through that and she looked at me with a look of "please" so I gave in "fine only because Rory has a boyfriend" I agree

"Why'd They have to come here" I groan as I sat at the counter at Luke's Rory shrugs and takes a sip of her coffee "There coming this weekend, so you have time to prepare mentally" she explains, and I nod at this as she extends an arm to comfort me she knew I didn't wanna see Tristan let alone kiss him for a project "I'll catch up with you" I state as I get up and walk out of the dinner, I figured a stroll around the town would take this off of my mind "Selena" I turned to see Dean he looked

like he was sorry I mean he should be he was totally out of line "I'm sorry about what happened the other night I never expected how it would anger you but it was insensitive and in no way my place to get mad" he apologizes, and I smile at this crossing my arms "apology accepted Forester but so that you know Jess isn't into Rory neither are Collin Finn and Logan" I assured he nods at this and

runs a hand nervously through his hair "good to know" he laughs, and I say goodbye before continuing on my walk again.

I walked toward the bridge to see Jess sitting there looking at the water thinking about something "thinking of drowning yourself" I joke he looks up at me and let's out a small laugh "you wish" he mutters. I take a seat next to him "why's you're hair soaked" I ask he looks away from me and back at the water and I hold back a loud laugh "wait you fell in!" I ask as I giggled at his wet state "no Luke pushed me in getting it right" he replied, and this made me laugh even harder at him

"what did you do to piss Luke off that much" my laughs were over now, and I was staring him straight in the eye "stole some money and a garden gnome" he explains, and I nod at this
"Ah that's we're Babette's favorite Garden Gnome went" I tease he glares at me, and I let out another giggle as he shoved me a bit I pushed him back "don't start a fight you can't finish Selena" Jess retorted, and he shoved me again playfully I laugh at this "trust me Jess I always finish what I start" and with that I

pushed him back into the water he let out a groan before pulling me into the cold water I let out a yelp as we started to splash each other repeatedly giggling and teasing each other that is until he pulled me closer by the belt loops in my jeans and I stopped splashing and looked him in the eyes "okay I surrender you win" Jess mutters were only inches away from each other at this point, and I can't help but stare at his lips "what do I win" I tease leaning in closer to him just to see what would happen "this-" and without another word, Jess's lips are on mine and everything in the world freezes.
