The story of us ˚ ༘✶ ⋆｡˚ Ben Gross

Friends, my ass

"Ookay i should get going" Lorelai says printing another kiss on Ethan's lips
"Mmph, no i don't think so" he makes out as he pulls her body against his again and presses his lips to hers, completely ignoring the fact that they are in the school's hallway and Ben Gross just passed by

"Alright" she pushes his chest away gently, tilting her head "i have to go to my friends, see you"
"We'll catch up later?" Ethan hypnotizes licking his lips
"Uh i actually can't i'm sorry" Rory gives him an apologetic smile
"So...tomorrow?" he smirks leaning towards the girl
"Yeah, why not" Rory replies, she actually lied because has time to make out with Ethan "the bad boy" but didn't feel like it.

Taylor: That guy was the literally the stereotype of the bad boy, well he isn't actually bad he's more...mischievous. We all had one of them in our school. He is the kind of kid that got attitude, doesn't care a lot about school, skates you know. Anyway, Rory and him met last summer and started spending time together, having fun but nothing more, obviously.

After that Rory quickly reaches her locker and picks up her books, and today she really has to keep up with the lessons.
"Hey Ben" she greets him hinting a smile, he only replies with a nod which is strange because he would normally annoy her. Lorelai closes her locker a bit confused and reaches her friends.

"Heila" Fabiola, Eleanor and Devi greets her
"Hi! How are you guys?" she asks sitting next to them in the cafeteria table
"Well i could be better" Devi starts looking right in front of her, Rory follows her gaze and sees...Paxton "Oh i get it now"

"Hey coyote girl! Over here!" Trent exclaims smiling "Oh hey Serena Van Der Woodsen" he adds pointing to Rory
"Thanks?"
"How does he know her?" Eleanor asks in disbelief "I mean Serena"
"I can actually imagine Trent watching gossip girl" Lorelai laughs
"Totally" Fabiola adds covering her mouth from laughing "Are you guys more like a Blair girl or Serena? Because i see Rory more like Serena"

"Ugh it's so hard to chose, she did bad things but so did Blair" Rory explains as if it were a matter of life or death, as younger she spent days watching gg "Maybe i like Blair's personality more"
"I agree" Fab approves
"Love her" Eleanor agrees

"Guys!" Devi interrupts them "That doesn't matter, look there" she yells whispering
Paxton jerks his head in Devi's direction, smirking slightly and immediately her ears rise
"Oh my god Devi! Paxton just publicity acknowledged you" El gasps wide eyed
"Do they want me to go over there?" Devi asks insecurely, bouncing her eyes between the three girls
"Absolutely" Lorelai says
"You guys should come with me"
"No"
"No" Fab and Eleanor reply simultaneously, shaking their heads "We will only weight you down. This is a journey you're meant to take alone" Fabiola nods taking it a little too seriously

"Lil' D!" Paxton exclaims "Wait, lil' D or coyote girl?" they all laugh

The bell rings and all hurry to enter the classes.
"Have you seen Eleanor, Rory and Fabiola?" Devi asks breathless
"Sorry i haven't" Ben replies "then again, my eyes can't really pick up anything below six" he teases

Taylor: "Hey drop the attitude"

"Ben, i don't have time to listen to you pretend to have standards"
"Oh here they are" the boy notes
Lorelai looks over him while her face contracts in a confused expression "Wow you noticed me" Ben continues staring at her till she sits down next to him
"What?"
"Nothing. You're the one who's looking at me." he scoffs looking away

"Birthday acknowledgment, Ben" professor Shapiro observers approaching his desk
"Uh, thanks"

Taylor: "Today is Ben's birthday?! I had no idea..i mean of course. You can't be mean to him today."

"I don't want to presume it's a happy one. It's okay if it's a sad one or a neutral one" the teacher assured him
"Okay?"
"However you're feeling is right. Just have a day" Shapiro nods with a smile leaving Ben confused about those words

"Is it your birthday?" Rory punches playfully his arm "Why didn't you say anything?"
"Ouh that hurt" he groans, touching his arm
"Yeah we didn't even know" Devi adds "This is the only day i have to be nice with you"

"Are you having a party or something?" Rory asks him
"Yeah, i don't really make a big deal about birthdays. I'm sort of low-key man of mystery"
"Yeah, i see..."
"You instagrammed your PSAT score" Devi points out
"Only to inspire others to try to achieve the impossible"

"Hey Lorelai" Ethan passes by the girl's desk, winking, before sitting in the back
"Hi" she waves at him

"You know what, Lor." Ben turns back to her "I actually think i am going to have a party tonight"
"Really?"
"Yeah, so you should come if you want"
"I'll be there" Rory nods

Taylor: "How do they say? Where there is a party there is also rory"

"Wait" Devi continues "Can Paxton come?"
"Yeah, sure" Ben agreed not so happy though
"Cool, how about Trent?" Paxton asks
"Yeah, whatever. Anyone can come." he approves, Trent fist bumps his friend
"Party at my house tonight!" he announces raising the tone of voice to let anyone hear

"You should come to my home. We get ready in my room and then my mom will take us to Ben's" Lorelai affirms crossing the school threshold "It'll be funnier"

"That's a brilliant idea!" Fabiola exclaims
"But i'll borrow that lovely dress you showed me last time" El giggles
"Of course. I promise"
"We'll be there" Devi blows her a kiss, heading towards Nalini's car

"Okay." she smiles "7 o' clock. Colombo's home"
