𝗧𝗛𝗘 bell rings as the teacher gets cut off by it, obviously indicating that class is over. you were dreading for it to end. you were about to get up when someone slams what looks like an envelope on your desk. you glared at the student before grabbing the envelope and opening it. as you read it, it appeared to be an invitation to rory gilmore's birthday party at what seems like her grandparent's house. you put the invitation back in the envelope as you stuffed it in your backpack. it was the end of the school day anyway so you went straight home. you did your studies and finished off considering it's the weekend and you didn't want to spend it doing homework. as you finished, it's been some time while you're just laying back mindlessly when the thought of rory's party popped in your head. you had already checked your schedule and there was nothing further to be done today, so you decided to go to the party. you had put on your favorite outfit with a suitable hairstyle and already went out and bought a gift for rory on your way. by the time you arrived, you had greeted rory and gave her the gift along with a small chit-chat, and spent the rest of the party alone, leaning against a wall with a drink in your hand. you were gazing around in boredom when a certain voice near you caught your attention.

"I wouldn't have expected a loner like you to be a party.. anyway, I thought you'd wanna know that your lipstick is smudged." you looked down at your glass and noticed it had some of your lipstick stained on it.
