Rory's "boyfriend" is Brody, star athlete, most popular boy in school, soon to be homecoming king, and to everyone else single. No one knows their secret makeout spot behind the bleachers, or their secret weekly dates in Brody's room, or that they even speak to one another.

This isn't your common bad boy story. This bad boy doesn't drive a motorcycle, he isn't rich, he doesn't have tattoos, or risks lung cancer by smoking, and he doesn't love the good girl.
