If the Pom-Pom Fits (гет)

They meet in the girls’ bathroom on the first day of eleventh grade.
It’s lunch, which she would ordinarily spend with Lane, at the table they claimed in the cafeteria way back at the beginning of freshman year, but Lane’s not back from Korea yet, not for another few days, and Rory doesn’t know how to navigate Stars Hollow High on her own. That’s the point of having a best friend, isn’t it, so that there’s always someone by your side in the trenches of high school? Isn’t that why she’d decided not to go to any of those fancy private schools she had looked at with Lorelai last year? So she wouldn’t have to leave Lane behind? And now look at her, the lonely nerd spending lunch in an empty girls’ bathroom on the first day of school.
Only it’s not empty. There’s a boy in here.
