Georgia was enjoying her food until Lorelai and her mini-me walked into the diner together.

The diner has been getting a bit popular lately for some reason, but Georgia wasn't complaining because more popularity equals more money and everyone loves having more money. She certainly liked having more money.

"Wow, busy today," Lorelai said. "Has Luke been advertising or something?"

"He gets good word-of-mouth," Rory stated.

"Well, we have to start spreading bad word-of-mouth so we can always have a table," Lorelai said.

Georgia glared at Lorelai for that, because how can she be so cruel to someone she called a friend? Even Libby glared at the duo for that comment.

Georgia tried to ignore them, trying to focus on whatever Todd was saying.

Lorelai said, "It's so weird to see him talking like that."

"Like what?" asked Rory.

"Just all friendly," Lorelai said. "He's usually only good for a quick couple of gruff monosyllables and then he's off."

"He is the master of the monosyllable," Rory agreed.

Lorelai asked, "He never flirts with any of the women, do you notice that?"

"He does," Libby whispered. "When Lorelai's not around. How else can he afford to keep the diner open? And he flirts with Lorelai numerous times."

"Hey, flirt with him now," Rory told Lorelai. "We need coffee."

Georgia turned in her seat, eager to see what was going to happen.

Lorelai started waving a napkin around and using a starlet voice, she said, "Oh, Luke. We're just dying for some refreshments."

"Keep your pants on," snapped Luke, going back to talking to the woman in a hat.

Georgia snickered at that because it was amusing.

"Oh, my mom decided to write a book about her bank robbing days," said Todd.

Sage said, "You're never letting that go, are you?"

"If your mom robbed banks, you won't let it go either," Todd pointed out.

Georgia guessed that Todd had a point there.

"My mom would probably knock the bank robber unconscious in her haste to get on the floor," Sage replied.

"Everyone's allowed a guilty pleasure now and again," Rory stated.

"Hmm, very diplomatic from the girl who had the Bryan Adams postered about her bed for two years," Lorelai replied.

"Fink," replied Rory.

Lorelai asked, "Do you have a guilty pleasure, Luke?"

Luke was quiet for a moment, "Nah."

Georgia was sure that Libby had mentioned that Luke had a Star Trek phase in high school. She looked at Todd curiously, "Do you have a guilty pleasure?"

Thea spoke up, looking at Georgia, "I know you like those blueberry cookies that I make that have the pink frosting and strawberry bits." She looked right at Libby, "I know that you and Aiden both actually like rom-coms. I know that Sage rewatches Twin Peaks when he's upset and that's because he has a crush on Shelly. And I know that Todd reads Sylvia Plath and Poetry."

Georgia wondered when Thea had time to actually know all that. She knew that as Aiden and Sage's girlfriend it was her job to know everything about them, but that was just ridiculous. But Georgia never saw a book of poetry in Todd's room – as far as she could tell.

Todd shifted uncomfortably before asking, "How would you know that?"

"There's got to be at least one stalker in our group and it's not me." Thea looked at Todd again, "By the way, we're out of milk and peanut butter."

Georgia stabbed at a strawberry on her plate, trying to imagine Thea hanging out in the shrubbery, looking through windows with a pair of binoculars.

"Hey," replied Todd, sounding horrified. "That's not funny because it's true."

Georgia looked at Thea, who was drinking her coffee like a stalker.

In English class, Georgia got some papers back. With much confusion, she wondered why her teacher wrote salsa at the top of the paper. She flipped through the pages, but it looked like she didn't get anything wrong and looked at the girl next to her.

Georgia asked, "Hey, does this say salsa to you?" She showed the girl the paper.

The girl looked at Georgia, "That says 59 out of 59."

Georgia felt like such a dumbass at that. She hated feeling dumb.

After the bell rang, she left the classroom and headed to the cafeteria. She almost ran down Sage.

Sage asked, "All right, who is dumb enough to piss you off?"

"No one," Georgia said. She showed him her paper, "What does this say to you?"

Sage squinted at the paper, "Why did your teacher write salsa on your paper?"

"It says 59/59," Georgia said.

"Oh," Sage replied. "I'm so dumb then."

"You're not the only one," Georgia replied. She looked at the table where Thea was sitting. Jess had joined Thea at the table. It looked like they were talking about something.

Sage narrowed his eyes slightly.

Georgia knew that Sage wasn't exactly a jealous person, coming from the fact that he was allowing his girlfriend to date another guy, but his reaction to Thea and Jess was odd. Georgia had to remind Sage, "Hey, you know that Thea is disgustingly in love with you and Aiden, right? Jess is not Thea's type."

Sage looked at Georgia curiously, "Then what is her type?"

Georgia spotted Craig, "Craig."

Sage looked at the guy and then at Georgia, "Really?"

"Yeah," Georgia replied. "But she's with you and Aiden and you two are two halves of one whole idiot. So, apparently she's into that. Her eyes never wandered, so don't worry."

"Yeah," Sage replied, clearly worrying about it.

Georgia rolled her eyes because, seriously? She just tried to reassure Sage and here he was still being a bit bothered by it. God, guys were so fragile in their masculinity. "Oh, please, Jess isn't all that good-looking anyway and Thea is way too good for him."

Sage snickered at that and they went over to the table. Jess was busy looking at two cookies that he had taken a bite out of each.

Sage went over to the table, and asked something, but he kissed Thea on the cheek.

In a way, Georgia wished she had someone who loved her like that.

Later, after school, Georgia and Thea walked home together.

Georgia asked, "What were you and Jess talking about?"

Thea seemed to think about it, before saying, "He thinks that by the end of the school year, you'll be in love with him."

Georgia almost laughed at that, but she was curious, "And what did you say?"

"I told him 'good luck,'" Thea replied.

Georgia smiled at her friend, "Good girl."

Thea smiled. It was sad how Lorelai never gave Thea any type of compliment. Sure, Lorelai may agree with Thea, but that was about it. In fact, Annette was more of Thea's mom than Lorelai ever was. 

When they got to Georgia's house, they went straight to the kitchen. Annette had left a note on the fridge that said: Back late. Don't wait up for me. – XO Mom

Georgia took the note down and threw it in the trash can. "Mom's gonna be late. You staying over or are you going to head to Aiden's or Sage's?"

Thea was looking through the fridge, "Yeah, sure."

Georgia wasn't sure if she was agreeing on staying or going to Aiden's or Sage's.

"I mean, I'll stay with you," Thea clarified.

"Cool," Georgia replied.

Once, Annette said, "I can't even keep my marriage intact, yet somehow that girl can keep two boyfriends by her side? That must be one magical pussy."

Georgia set her stuff on the table and Thea went over, setting a box of pizza down on the table.

Thea seemed confused, "What did your teacher write salsa on your paper?"

"That's 59/59," Georgia corrected her. "Don't worry, Sage and I thought so too."

"We're all so dumb," Thea said.

Georgia nodded. She was sure that Aiden, Liberty, and Todd would think so too. Well, Annette always said, 'Birds of a feather are dicks together.'

The next day, Georgia had to endure Jess's attempts at what he called flirting. At least he made it known that he liked her, Georgia guessed, considering he kept making eye contact with her and smiling at her, even leaning in a little, every time he tried to talk to her.

Jess once said, "How's your day going?"

It was only eight-thirty.

"Well, it's not the end of school yet," Georgia replied.

In some way, she kind of liked the attention, but she would've liked it more if it was anyone but Jess.

At another time, Jess looked at the book that she had with her and tried to flirt, by asking, "So what are you reading?"

"A book by Maya Angelou," Georgia replied.

"I don't think I heard of her," Jess replied.

Georgia smiled at him, "That's because you only read books by dead white men."

Later, Jess decided to flirt with other girls, especially in front of Georgia's locker. Georgia rolled her eyes at that and said, "Here's a bit of advice: leading girls on isn't hot. It just makes you an asshole."

She looked at Thea and rolled her eyes, because seriously?

Then, at lunch, Jess finally asked, "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

Georgia wondered if Jess just called her Satan. So, she said, "No, but I did break my nails crawling out of hell."

Jess stayed silent on that, which Georgia was pleased about, because he finally learned his place which was to be seen and not heard.
