    Summary

    Jess Mariano doesn’t belong at Chilton.

    He knows it. The teachers know it. The fucking walls probably whisper it at night.

    But here he is: fresh out of New York, bruised and restless, shoved into a blazer and handed a schedule full of AP classes he never asked for. Liz is playing house again, his new stepdad is trying to buy his affection with Audi keys and expensive bookbags, and Jess is doing his best not to burn the whole thing down.

    When he left Stars Hollow, he didn’t expect to see her again.

    Rory Gilmore. The girl whose car he crashed. Whose wrist he broke. Along with his uncle’s trust.

    Now they’re classmates.

    And Jess is starting to think fate doesn’t hate him. It just wants to watch him suffer.
