Chapter Two:

All three pulled into the parking lot at Chilton. Rory and Chris both stared at the huge structure. Erick was so accustomed to it that he looked at the two in amusement.

"What are you looking at?" Erick asked as he stared at both twins who stood there with their mouths hanging open.

"It's huge..."

"It's enormous," Rory cut Chris off and stared at her cousin. "I might get lost." She looked bewildered.

As she finished her sentence and they started to walk into the front gates numerous girls walked over to Erick and kissed him on the cheek. Rory looked at him in confusion and Chris looked at him with tiny question marks floating around his head.

"Um are we missing something here?" Chris looked at his cousin.

"You'll get accustomed to it," Erick flashed him a grin and then added, "You know how popular I am." He smirked and grabbed on to Rory around her waist. "Come on you have to meet my friends."

"So these aren't your friends?" Rory asked.

"NO!" Erick replied a bit too fervently. "These aren't my friends. Those girls are just the um well groupies."

Rory felt uncomfortable with all the death stares that she was receiving from the girl sitting around on the cars closer to the entrance. "Um will they hurt me?" she asked sheepishly with innocence that she alone had.

Erick and Chris both laughed and Chris pulled his sister closer to him and Erick let go of her waist. "Let's just make sure. OK?" he was also a bit uncomfortable with the stares that he was receiving. The girls around them looked at him and then at Rory and they could hear the little whispers that passed around the crowd.

"Hey we need to go to the Head guy's office," Rory said as she looked up at her brother. Erick looked at Chris and nodded his head slightly. Chris took this as a sign to follow his older cousin and the three walked down the crowded hall ways followed by soft whispers.



"Mister and Miss Gilmore-Hayden." Head master Charleston tilted his head slightly as he looked at Chris's lack of a tie. "May I ask where the rest of your uniform is?"

"It tried to strangle me," Chris replied and Rory giggled.

"Excuse me?" Head master Charleston looked at the young man in amusement.

Chris noticed what he had said and his face flushed. "I mean I have to get a new one. There was a problem this morning with the..."

Chris was cut off by the older man in the chair in front of him. "So you two are the fruitful bearing of Miss Gilmore and Mister Hayden. I must say you remind me very much of your parents." He laughed to himself in his head and stared at the young adults in front of him. "Well usually I would give you my speech on how important it is here at Chilton for you to do well in your classes but from both your transcripts I see that it won't be necessary. I must say you've come quite a long way you're your parents. Proceed to your classes and young man please stop at the front desk and get a tie."

Rory and Chris got up and walked out of the head master's office. They were met by a smiling Erick.

"Young man, here's your tie," a polite woman handed him a tie identical to the one he had this morning and he looked at Rory.

"Evil tie," he muttered as his sister tip toed and neatly fixed the tie around his neck.

"Let's go man." Erick looked elated. He was so happy that he had his best friends with him again. "I have to show you everyone I know."

"I don't think we'll have enough time for that," Chris smirked. "You know too many people."

Rory laughed at her brother's comment and lightly punched him on the shoulder. Chris looked back at her with innocence in his eyes. "What did I do? You know it's true."

Everyone came to an abrupt stop when a beautiful blonde girl walked up to Erick and heaved him into a passionate kiss. When he emerged a grin was plastered across his remarkable features. "Um this is Liz-Beth," he said as he pulled her into another embrace.

"Hi," she looked at Rory and Chris. "So you two are who everybody's talking about. I've heard so much since I walked in. They said that you guys were from Switzerland. I heard that you transferred here because..."

Liz-Beth was cut off by Erick who placed his hands over her tiny mouth. "Liz these are my cousins. That's Rory and Chris Gilmore-Hayden. They are Lorelai and Christopher's kids. They moved her from L.A. and this is their first day."

Liz pried Erick's hand off of her mouth and then looked at the two in front of her in amazement. "You're serious?" She looked like she was about to faint. "I finally get to meet them?" She walked over to Rory and embraced her in a hug. "I've heard so much about you. I can't believe I finally get to met you." She walked over to Chris and shook his hand. "Erick has told me everything about you to. I never though I would meet you." She looked over at Erick with a frown on her face. "How come you didn't tell me that they would be here today? I would have done my hair or something to make me look better."

"That's impossible," Rory said. "I mean you're like a big cup of coffee," she added as she flushed noticing that her comment hadn't come out the way she had wanted it to.

Chris and Erick both laughed as they stared at the two girls who were looking at each other with strange reactions on their faces. "What my sister meant to say is that she thinks you're quite beautiful." Chris grabbed Rory by the shoulders knowing that she was embarrassed.

"You know if I didn't know you as well as I do I might think that you were flirting with my girlfriend." Erick punched Chris in the side playfully.

"I can't wait to show you around," Liz-Beth said excitedly as she grabbed a hold on Rory's fragile hand. "You've got to meet Paris and Maddy and Louise and Sara." Rory and Chris both flinched. The excitement in Liz-Beth's voice fell when she saw the looks on their faces. "Did I say something wrong?" she asked sympathetically.

Rory and Chris shook their heads in unison and Erick erupted with laughter.

"What's so funny?" Liz asked.

"It's the freaky twin thing I told you about. Didn't you just see it?" Erick said in between his laughter.

Everyone else started to laugh and as soon as he gained his composure they headed down the hall way again. Liz was babbling about how much fun she and Rory would have and all the activities that they would do together. Rory squeezed Chris's hand and looked at Erick pleadingly. Liz didn't notice though and continued talking.

The small grouped rounded a corner and approached another group of kids huddled into a circle. They all seemed to be chatting about the new kids that everyone else was gossiping about. There were three boys and three girls all standing together, some of them propped up on the lockers behind them. Rory and Chris stepped behind Erick and Liz-Beth as they drew nearer to the crowd.

"Gilmore," someone called from within the group.

Erick looked up at all the eyes that were now staring at him in recognition. "What's up Dallas?"

"You tell me," a rather handsome looking brunette boy replied.

"Did you hear about the new kids? I heard there's a girl and a boy." A rather seductive looking blonde said. Her resemblance to Liz was striking. "I don't know what they looks like but from what I heard from the parking lot. The guys seem to like the new girl. You know that Summer even ..."

"Slow down," Erick said trying to get the girl to stop her babbling. "I don't think anybody cares about what Summer says." He looked around awhile before he actually opened his mouth again. "Oh yeah I have something to show you guys."

Erick knew that his previous sentence was a crowd pleaser. The blonde looked at him with her tiny mouth hanging open. "SO?" she asked.

"Oh yeah. Um meet my cousins." Erick turned around and pulled Rory in front of him. It was times like this that she really hated being so weak and fragile. She turned a bright shade of scarlet when she felt the eyes of everyone wandering around her body. "This is Rory. And Chris?" Erick called to Chris who was standing behind him. "Yeah and this is Chris. They're twins but not identical."

"No duh." A shabbier looking blonde said. She looked like she was being weighed down by the amount of books that she had in her book bag.

Rory politely smiled and felt a pair of eyes tracing the curves of her body and then she felt them staring at her lips. She brushed off the feeling and turned to Erick waiting for him to tell her who all of the people standing in front of her were.

"It would be helpful if we knew their names," Chris said as he stared at a stunningly beautiful blonde girl that seemed to enjoy his eyes roaming all over her body.

"Oh yeah right. I knew that." Erick felt rather stupid because he had assumed that everyone would just take it from there. "Um that's Dallas," he said pointing to the tall brunette that reminded Rory of Josh Hartnett. "Damn! This is taking too long. Why doesn't everybody just say hi and tell them your name?"

"Ok, I'm Paris as in the city but I'm not a city obviously..."

"Right be quiet I think they noticed that. I'm Madeline but you can call me Maddy, everyone else does." A dark haired girl smiled as she shook Rory's hand and smiled at Chris. "You know Paris sometimes I think you like to hear the sound of your voice that's why you talk so much."

Next to her the seductive looking blonde laughed. "I'm Louise." She walked over to Rory and smiled and looked at Chris and flashed him a flirtatious grin. He didn't seem to protest because only a few seconds ago his eyes had been roaming all over her body.

"Guess that leaves the rest of us. You know this is really weird having to introduce ourselves and all. I'm Shane." A blonde boy that had previously been leaning on the lockers said as he walked over to Chris and shook his hand. He lingered a while before he moved over to Rory and stared at her intently.

Erick noticed and quickly added, "You know Shane," he said the words with venom in his tone. "Let's make it clear that Rory's off limits."

"Ah protective aren't we?" Shane said with a smirk on his face.

"Why are you even standing here?" Erick looked at Shane as though he was about to attack. "Don't you have some of your obnoxious friends waiting some where for you?"

Shane flashed Rory one last smile and then walked away.

"Well any way I'm Dallas." The Josh Hartnett boy said. "Are you the same cousins from L.A. that shaved his hair off before he moved?"

Everyone started to laugh. Rory and Chris looked at Erick. They remembered the day well. "Yup!" Rory said as she laughed.

"Well it certainly is nice to meet you." Dallas rubbed the hair on Erick's head. "I must say I really like these cousins. Maybe they could do that again."

Erick looked horrified. "Oh god no."

Next to Dallas was a towering blonde boy. He was at least Six feet tall and very well built. He had rusty looking blonde hair that complemented his bronze tan. "I'm Tristan." He didn't even bother to make an attempt to move from where he was leaning against the lockers. "I'm not in my people mode."

Madeline sighed lightly. "He and Summer broke up over the holiday. Can you believe her?"

"Thanks Maddy," he said sarcastically. "I'm sure everyone wanted to know I got dumped by the whore of Chilton."

Rory stood there in awe. 'He gorgeous. I mean Greek god kind of gorgeous.' She couldn't believe that she hadn't noticed him earlier. Liz-Beth noticed and nudged her lightly.

"That's the king of Chilton," she whispered into Rory's ears. "I don't think you'll really be interested. He goes for a different girl every week. He calls them his flavors of the week. I'll tell you the details later but he's Erick's best friend so don't say anything about him when you're talking to Erick."

Rory became slightly more aware of how much she had missed having girl friends to look out for her. She had always had Chris but this wasn't something she wanted to talk to him about. "I'm uh... I wasn't... ok so I'll talk to you later then?"

Liz laughed a little and everyone looked at her in amusement. "The bell should ring any time now. We should go to class." She pulled Erick closer and gently kissed him on the cheek.

He looked at her questioningly. "What was that about?"

"We'll be late," Paris said as the bell rang. "I hope I have good teachers this year. I'll see you guys at lunch."

Everyone knew that she was right as always so they all said their goodbyes.

"Wait!" Rory said. "I don't know how to get to my home room." She looked at Chris sadly. "We don't have the same class."

Paris grabbed her schedule out of her hand and looked at it. "Wow you have all the same classes as me. Come with me. I'll get you there."

Rory let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks..."

She was cut off by Paris, "You coming Tris?"

Tristan pushed himself off the locker and headed over to Paris and Rory and for the first time he noticed how beautiful Rory was. His jaw dropped. While he stood there in astonishment Chris, Madeline and Louise walked away to their home room class. Liz noticed Tristan's astonishment and pulled Erick away before he had time to notice. Dallas smirked when he realized what was going on and he walked away behind Liz and Erick.

Paris was oblivious to the whole situation that was taking place in front of her eyes and she just shrugged off everyone's strange behavior as she, Tristan and Rory walked down the halls to.
