the love assignment - m.s - eight
Tumblr media
a/n: this is the last official part of the series, i will be posting an epilogue tomorrow night just for those who really care for closure <3 if you've seen gilmore girls, i think you'll like this chapter.
you know the drill by now, made with love for @lacysturniolo
Tumblr media
throughout the rest of the week, the tension between you, allie, and chris had risen drastically in the past few days. it became more clear that allie and chris were annoyed with you for not hearing matt out. you couldn’t care about that, you were protecting your peace. you knew yourself all too well. you knew if matt came up with some brilliant excuse for what he did you would take him back. 
even though chris and allie were trying so hard to get you to hear matt out, matt had seemingly decided to give you your space. you hadn’t seen him in school since monday, chris and allie had exchanged a few whispers about him but all you could ever hear was his name. you wanted to ask about him desperately but you knew you shouldn’t. part of you wished he didn’t stop texting you. you thought your life couldn’t get any worse than it was. 
after school on thursday you drove yourself home, arriving at the same time the mail truck was pulling away from your box. you usually grabbed the mail upon arriving home so today was no different. you grabbed the stack of mail and began sorting through it, discarding the junk mail and keeping the important stuff for your parents. as you flipped through quickly, you saw a flash of your own name. your heart sank as you saw who it was from, tuft’s university.
the envelope was small, almost guaranteeing you didn’t get in and your heart dropped. you scurried up to your room with the envelope in hand, tears forming in your eyes. you dragged your finger under the fold of the envelope, ripping it open. it was no surprise when the first thing that met your eyes were the words that read: unfortunately at this time, we are not able to guarantee a spot for you here for the early admissions process. please try again at a later date.
the flood gates had opened and you sobbed as you clenched the letter to your chest. you had been denied from your dream school. your grades were perfect, it’s not like they could tell you had missed some assignments, they didn’t have an itemized receipt, they saw that you were a star student, and they still denied you. the letter was early, very early, you weren’t expecting a decision for at least another few weeks so they must have really hated you. 
this was matt’s fault. he fooled you, he made you fall so in love with him that you wrote the most important essay of your life about falling in love. they probably hated your essay so much, they thought you were too stupid for the school. getting rejected must be the universe's karma for slacking off the past few months and acting like an idiot. maybe if that never happened you would wrote a better essay, one that would have made them choose you. to think that a few weeks ago, you and matt were talking about going to tufts together and now here you are getting rejected and it’s all because of him.
you spent the rest of the night in your room. crying and researching if you could apply to the same college twice. you of course had other applications being reviewed but this was the only one you wanted. you didn’t want to tell anyone. your parents calls from downstairs and all the texts went unanswered. 
when your alarm went off for school you couldn’t help but turn it off and go back to sleep. your parents had already gone off to work so no one could stop you from staying home. by the time you woke up again, it was noon and allie had been blowing up your phone. 
from allie:
umm where are you? 
from allie: 
you’re making me nervous.
from allie: 
did you forget about your speech? i’ll be there sitting on your side.
her last text was a reminder that in one hour you were supposed to be in the auditorium giving a speech that wasn’t even written, on why you deserved to be chosen for valedictorian. right now, you didn’t possibly understand how you could get up and say you deserved it if you didn’t even get into the one school you wanted. you allowed your mind to dissociate from the situation. you had to go to the speech, if matt was going to beat you, he was going to have to work for.
you walked into the school right before it was supposed to start and you heard allie calling out your name. she must have tracked you and seen that you had finally arrived at the school. your bodies almost collided as you both went around the corner of the hall.
“god where have you-“ she cut herself off upon seeing your disheveled appearance. “what is going on are you okay?” she had grabbed onto your wrists but all you could do was show her the small envelope in your hand. she couldn’t see what it was and you didn’t answer her questions as you walked up to your podium on the stage. you felt the glares on you as everyone saw the way you looked. you looked over at matt so see him looking at you with a sad look in his eyes. why was he sad? he had gotten what he wanted.
“ahh you’re finally here.” the principal stated, as if it wasn’t already clear you had arrived. “we’ll start with you.” he continued, pointing a finger at you. great, it couldn’t get any better you thought to yourself. you paused for a minute and looked around at the crowd. you saw matt’s brothers, his parents, some teachers, allie, some people in suits, and even a photographer from the yearbook club. you tried your best to muster up a speech on the spot. 
“you know, it's funny, me standing here before you right now. i've dreamed about being valedictorian since i can remember. i dedicated myself to this dream entirely. i believed with my heart and soul, believing in its ability to get me to the one place i wanted to go, tuft’s. i thought of nothing else. a lot of you here can attest to that fact that i was on my way there and nothing could stop me. here’s the REALLY funny thing, after years of slaving away forcing myself to miss out on so much, i go home yesterday to find this.” you’re fighting back tears as you pull your denial letter from your coat pocket, holding it up for everyone to see.
“i'm not going to tuft’s. i got the tiny envelope, the one that reads, ‘sorry, not interested. try again later.’ and the thing that's really funny here is who in the world deserves to go to tuft’s more than me? him?” you gesture your arm over to matt who hasn’t taken his eyes off you. he wants nothing more than to walk over there and stop you from doing this but he doesn’t your eyes quickly dart around the room to see everyone with their jaws on the ground but yet you continue.
“you’ve all seen how had i’ve worked for this, haven't you? i mean, can anyone here honestly believe that i'm not going to tuft’s but this jackass is?” your words earn a few gasps from the crowd, especially matt’s parents. matt is just looking at you with sad eyes.
“i know i can't believe it. i'm not going to tuft’s. i am not going to tuft’s. i had sex with matthew sturniolo but I'm not going to tufts.” you continued digging yourself a bigger hole. allie had finally arisen from her seat to grab you off the stage. her grip wasn’t strong enough to stop you from finishing.
“and i have to tell you that if you asked me which of those two events i thought would be the least likely to happen, it would not be the not going to tuft’s. i'm being punished. i had sex, so now i don't get to go to tuft’s. so all of this hard work throughout my thirteen years of school was for nothing.” the tears had started to fall and your voice was getting shakier by the second. allie had finally been able to move you from your place.
“oh and one last thing before i go, matt didn’t even care about being valedictorian until he hated me one day in 9th grade. then he decided to ruin my life, so if that’s who you really want speaking for the class of 2023, be my fucking guest.” you let allie drag you into the hall and into an empty classroom. you knew she was about to either give you the worst lecture of your life or start laughing and cheer you on.
“what was that?” she was going the lecture route. you couldn’t answer her. you were too busy trying to catch your breath in between sobs, practically hyperventilating. not a single thing you had worked so hard for was happening. you could tell allie wanted to console you but she had never seen you so worked up. before she could do anything else, matt was coming into the room with chris.
“come on al, let’s go.” chris said as he walked allie out of the classroom leaving you with matt. your sobs were pathetic but he had wished for this. 
“get out!” you yelled at him as you put your head in between your knees. he clearly didn’t listen because you heard his footsteps come closer. he sat down next to you and put his hand on your shoulder. you didn’t pull away, as bad as you wanted to, you couldn’t.
“i’m not leaving. i know you hate me but i was never going to give a speech today, the only speech i had prepared was for you. i’m not going to try and make you forgive me right now. all i want to do is comfort you.” you had screamed in his face, aired out his personal business, and he was still here, trying to get you to stop crying. it was so clear that he cared, but if he cared why did he do it. for a second, you were coherent enough to speak.
“why did you do it?” his eyes widened and he sighed.
“we shouldn’t do this right now. you’re alread-”
“just tell me. why did you do it? why do you hate me so much? what happened to make you do all this?” you were begging for answers at this point.
“do you even remember our fight?” he looked at you and you tried to think back to the day it happened. you remembered the part that hurt you the most but none of the context surrounding it. you shook your head and matt went on to explain it.
it was the week before homecoming. you, allie, and the triplets had been out shopping at the mall for last minute homecoming outfits. matt’s mom had given you all two hours at the mall to get everything you needed. you had walked into the macy’s after making a pit stop at coldstone for ice cream. the boys went to the suit section while you and allie headed over to the dresses. 
you were waiting for allie to get out of the dressing room, when you got a text from one of your other friends, spencer. 
you didn’t him very well but you had met over the summer at the beach when you were allie. he had recently moved to town and as the former new kid, you felt compelled to take him under your wing. you thought he was cute but you thought the two of you were just friends. when you opened your phone to see the text, it was spencer asking you to homecoming. he apologized for it being last minute but he was too scared to ask until now. 
“umm allie?”
“i know i’m hurrying.” you could hear her shuffling in the dressing room. 
“no no it’s not that, spencer just asked me to homecoming.” the dressing room door flew open and allie was standing in the doorway with a dress half zipped on her body.
“no way! are you going to say yes? you have to!” she motioned at her zipper asking for your help. you walked over and zipped her in. after a minute of convincing, you finally texted spencer back to let him know that you would gladly go with him. after you and allie had picked out your dresses you met the boys back over by the suits. 
“hey you guys finally done?” chris teased as the two of you approached. you and allie smiled and nodded at them as the five of you began to walk out of the store.
“what did you pick?” matt asked you. you pulled the dress out of the bag to show him. 
“you’re going to look so pretty in that.” you remember the smile he gave you vividly. you had spent the last month hoping matt would ask you to homecoming as more than a friend, more than just going in your group of five.
“yeah spencer’s going to love it.” allie chimed in, bumping her elbow against yours.
“spencer?” matt asked quickly. “i thought we were all going together, me and nick would share you and chris would have allie.”
“he just asked, i didn’t think it’d be a big deal, now you and nick don’t have to share me, you can have each other.” you laughed it off trying to make light of the tension that had grown.
“i don’t want to dance with nick i-” he stopped himself before he could finish his own sentence. “whatever. it doesn’t matter.” the four of you watched as matt stormed off to the seating area to wait for his mom. everyone knew better than to piss off a hotheaded matt more than he already was, but you were different, or at least you thought. you were usually the one that talked him down, if there was ever an issue you were always the one that the group would send in to handle him. you thought this time was like all the rest, so you followed him over to his area.
“matt, why are you so upset?” 
“you must be stupid.” he spat out looking directly at you.
“what?”
“you heard me, you must be stupid.” you wanted to cry, but you were holding it in. matt had never been mean to you. not once since you had been friends.
“alright, while i’m not sure what i did so i’m going back to the others.” you started to walk back to the group but matt’s fit of anger wasn’t over yet.
“you’ll never be as smart as me because if you can’t see that i-” you were so upset with him you cut him off. you cut him off and he never got to say what he wanted to. maybe if he did things would be different.
“you’re not smarter than me and you know it matt. you’re just being hateful because your mad for some unknown reason you won’t share with the group. you come over here and pout and you know i’ll come check up on you, it’s like you want me to come check on you, but i’m not doing that anymore. you hurt my feelings.” 
you walked back to the group and cried to allie about what was said. nick and chris were just as shocked as you that matt could utter those words to you, it was unlike him. when their mom came to pick you up, there wasn’t a noise made from you or matt the entire ride. for weeks after that, nick, chris, and allie had tried to get the two of you to talk but you were both unwilling to forgive the other. you were never sure what you did to make matt so mad. 
“do you remember not letting me finish?” the story he told made your breath stabilize and you were able to stop crying. 
“i guess, yeah.” your sniffles were muffled as you pulled a tissue up to your nose. 
“i was trying to tell you i liked you. i called you stupid because i couldn’t understand how you didn’t see it. i called you stupid because i wanted to dance with you at homecoming and ask you to be my girlfriend and then you decided to go with spencer.” the realization hit you like a truck. you had spent your childhood crushing on him, you didn’t realize he liked you back. 
“i was so mad at you for not realizing, and i thought that we would be friends again but then we went so long without talking and i gave up on trying to be friends again. i wish i wasn’t so stubborn and i wish that i could have just talked to you about but i didn’t.” you watched him take a breath and start to speak again. “this summer, i was having a really hard time, i just had a lot of memories about us and our old friend group, and i was so mad at you for not coming back and trying to make it work.”
“you can’t put that on me.” you were stern with your words. 
“i’m not, but i was so mad, and i wanted to get back at you so i decided that i was going to try to be your friend again so i could distract you. one thing lead to another and then it was trying to date you but-” you started to cry again, hearing him confess to his sick tricks. “hey let me finish.” he grabbed your hands. 
“but, then the more time i spent with you the more i realized that i was stupid for trying to screw you over. i didn’t want to tell you because i didn’t want to lose you again so i just forgot about it. by the time october rolled around, i didn’t want to mess with you anymore, i was starting to really like you again and-”
“if you were done with the games by mid october why did ethan bring it up on halloween? i’m assuming that’s what he meant about you having a few tricks up your sleeve. if he knew, how many other people knew? how many other people know how much of an idiot i am?” you pulled your hands away from his finally feeling angry again. 
“just him. he only brought it up because he didn’t know i was done. i hadn’t talked to him in weeks, i was caught up in you, in us, i-”
“i don’t believe you.” 
“i know you don’t and trust me, after that night i told him i was done. i told him to drop it.” 
“you had sex with me matt. you told me you loved me.” the tears were flowing faster. your brain was confused. 
“i know i did and i meant it, i do love you. i know how much that meant to you and i was never, do that if i didn’t actually love you. i wouldn’t have taken it that far. i tried to back pedal. i tried to encourage you to do your work but i was also in love with you and wanted to spend all my time with you. i was going to get up there and give a speech about how much you deserved it.” he was pleasing for your to let him grab your hands again but you denied him. “when you came up to us last friday, he was so drunk and i was trying to explain to him again that it wasn’t a joke anymore. i swear.”
“how am i supposed to believe a word you say ever again?” you wanted to crawl into his arms and forgive him but you knew he would have to work at your forgiveness. 
“i don’t know. i know i messed up. i know what i did was wrong but i need you to hear me when i say i didn't want this to happen. i’m so sorry about tuft’s, i know how bad you wanted that.”
“i think they rejected me because of my essay.” 
“i’m sure your essay was great. maybe you can still get in with regular admission. there’s still a chance.” he rubbed your shoulder blade with his thumb. 
“no chance at valedictorian, not after that freak out.” 
“that’s okay, i don’t want it either, i guess they’ll have to pick the third best.” he smiled and it make you let out a little laugh. you were mad at yourself for giving in so easily but the rational part of you realized if this was all just a game to matt he would have been out there giving his speech. 
“matt i-” 
“don’t. i’m not expecting you to forgive me right now. i know that i have to earn some trust back but just know i’m not giving up.” you wanted to make it work. you let yourself fall into his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. the two of you stayed there until you were the one to pull away. matt’s moment of happiness had faded. 
“i’m going to email you something and i want you to read it.” you said to him as he walked you out to your car. 
“of course i will.” he smiled as he rested an arm on your open driver's side door. 
“i want to make it work matt, i’m just going to need time but it’ll show you that i’m not going anywhere.” you smiled as matt nodded to you. he allowed you to adjust in your seat before closing the door and watching you drive away. there is nothing you can do to change the past so all you can do is move forward. you loved matt and you wanted more than anything to make it work, so you were willing to work on forgiving him. 
by the time matt had gotten home, there was already a file in his email. it was named, ‘falling in love: a self discovery’. he clicked open the file to see it was your college essay in front of him. he read it carefully making sure not to miss a single detail. his eyes moved across the screen as he read your words. pouring your heart out about what his love meant to you, how it had help you discover the person you wanted to be. his hand arose to his chest as he grabbed his heart. his little love assignment, was bigger now. he meant it when he said he loved you. 
being valedictorian and getting into tuft’s was your dream, as much as you wanted to blame matt for all of the bad things, he didn’t control your life. you could have chosen to walk away but you didn’t. maybe there was still a chance at tuft’s accepting you. maybe you and matt could move past this and you’d both be there together. you can only control what you can, everything else is up to the universe. in the end, things always happened for a reason, and the universe had given you another chance to make it happen with matt. you weren’t going to lose him for a third time.

girl's guide to academic success: part 2 ⊹˚. ♡
🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ using media to ur advantage
i think i mentioned this in my romanticism post but pinterest is ur best friend. if i know anything about it u can trust i have a pinterest board for it; thats the same for school. gather motivating pictures & and pretty images that align with ur personal goals and style and make u wanna get up and work! i also use tumblr for this too. i'll link a couple blogs i love for this later on <3
🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ surroundings
if ur studying, make sure u actually enjoy the place you're studying in, or try to to the best of your extent. whenever i study im 9 times out of 10 always at my desk and ive decorated my desk specifically so that it motivates me to get up and do whatever i need to do + its super pretty and makes me smile every time i see it <3 decorate ur area with little trinkets and both things u love and things that motivate you, and switch it up when you can! don't stay in the same place all the time. spontaneity is fun!!!
🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ personalisation
make it pleasing to look at so ur more motivated to go back and revise over them if needed, and so you have something to do as well that is still related to your work if ur someone who gets distracted easily like myself. some inspo i use for my work:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ hydration!
make sure ur drinking lots of water !! i drink lots of water and lots of tea whenever im studying or doing any kind of schoolwork and it helps me a lot, + its just those little bits of comfort yk
🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ music and concentration
i work way better with any music in the background but if you're someone who gets distracted easily i'd recommend making a specific playlist for studying and listening to non-lyrical music like lofi, video game soundtracks, classical music, instrumentals of songs u like, etc. (i'm not telling you to go against the rules of ur school but i put a headphone in in class sometimes and cover it with my hair just because i know i work way better with it and it helps me a lot bc most of the people in my classes are so freaking loud. so if ur allowed 100% go for it but i don't recommend what i do if you have a strict school)
🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ prioritising ur health & compromising
like i said in my other post, prioritise your health over anything else. if you didn't get a good nights sleep last night and you have a test tomorrow and need to study, then compromise; if you already know a lot about it or its not fate changing or life altering in some way or you can go over it quickly in the morning or something, go to sleep. your health is always more important in the long run and will help you to do even better in the future in every area of ur life

It still baffles me that there are people who think that some guy being "the father" of Rory's baby means that he "won" or that she'll end up with that guy. What the heck. What year is this? What show have we been watching?? Why on earth would that matter?!

Calling all parents! Okay what was the right way to parent Jess when he came to Stars Hollow? I’m genuinely asking. Like should Luke have been extra loving and kind, should they put him in therapy, would any of that work? How does one parent a “troubled teen”?

Adding to my earlier post about Jess and Rory never sneaking around... I forgot the best example!
"Kid Code."
Jess makes this announcement to both of their guardians:
Tumblr media
Netflix is really awesome with subtitles.
Oh, did you mean Gypsy's? The only mechanic in town? The shop that's located approximately 30 feet away from your uncle's diner?
Rory immediately follows him, prompting Lorelai to make this observation:
Tumblr media
You mean the agreed upon location that Jess just told you about? The place that is - again - so close to Luke's diner that you can probably see it through the window right now? Is that Kid Code, or is that a heads up that these two goofs plan to make out at Gypsy's shop, exactly where Jess said he was gonna be?
Anyway. These two dorks walk DIRECTLY to the not-at-all-secret location, where they make out against a gas pump. The sexiest of all romance locations.
Tumblr media
Look at how giddy they are to be standing next to each other! My heart.
I like to think that Luke instantly found them, because again: Jess told them where they were going, and it was like 14 steps away from Luke's diner... but as soon as Luke saw them awkwardly mooning over each other, he decided to let them have a moment. Because ultimately, Luke is a huge Literati shipper.
