He's Not You
A/N: Okay, so this idea just keeps floating around in my head, you know? So, I thought that just maybe I would be willing to give it a shot. It started from reading other fanfic, and then just kind of picked up from there. There are some ideas in here that I'm sure you've all seen before, but there's more that I've just thought up in my spare time.
Disclaimer: I don't own it, obviously. But wouldn't it be awesome if I did? Matt and Chad would be mine! Mine! Mine!
The True Gilmore Girl's Fan Challenge: ok, stupid as it may seem, here's the challenge. In each chapter I'll use a line or few from the show. Figure out which one it is, and add that at the bottom of your review. Person that figured out the most at the end is the best. Just some friendly competition, and a way to get more reviews!
Backround info: When Lorelei found out she was pregnant, she and Chris married. She had twins, a boy (Tyler Haden) and a girl (Rory Haden). Rory and Louise have been best friends since they were babies, and both their fathers work in the insurance business together. Rory's grandfather is opening a branch of the company in Europe, so their parents are sending them to boarding school while they move out there to oversee the company's development for a few years. All the people from Chilton already go to the boarding school, plus Logan, Collin, and Finn. Maybe even some others, I haven't totally decided yet.
Chapter One: The Kings of Hamilton
"This sucks," Rory said, letting out a sigh from her brother's bed, where she was watching him pack some clothes and other stuff into a few boxes.
"Mmm," Tyler agreed, his sound muffled from inside the closet.
"Oh kiddies, I have some good news!" Lorelei said upon entering the room, trying to lighten up the mood.
The last thing she wanted was for her children to be unhappy and resentful towards her when she and her husband left. She had always been close with her children, but her parents insisted on them staying in America. It would be pointless to move them to a new country this late in the game.
This was why Hamilton Academy in New York was the best option for Rory and Tyler. It had all the advantages that high society had to offer, as well as the best education.
"What?" Rory asked blandly, not really interested. "Did you do something slutty?"
"I'm not that happy! Seriously though, I got you guys into suites instead of dorm rooms!"
There was a long pause. It was obvious this didn't excite either of her offspring. They obviously hadn't inherited her 'easily excited' genes.
"What's the difference?"
"Well Tyler, in a dorm room you have two beds and two people with a bathroom down the hall, while in Hamilton's suites you share a common room and a bathroom with five others, but have your own bedroom. See?"
"That's great mom, thanks a lot. I have to go pack now." Rory stood up and left for her room across the hall.
Lorelei tried to hide her disappointment in Rory's lack of enthusiasm and started folding the clothes Tyler had thrown onto his bed.
"She'll come around mom," Tyler tried to reassureher. "She's always been slower at coming to peace with things than me, but I understand. You want to do what's right."
"Yah, I do," Lorelei said quietly before leaving the room herself.
"I hope you understand that since you three are starting in November, and term started in September that you will be slightly behind. Teachers will help you to catch up, but you must be dedicated. No one can pass a class for you," the headmaster told Louise, Rory and Tyler.
"I also hope that you are aware of the sports activity requirement."
"About that….."
"Yes Miss Hayden?"
"Well, you see, Louise and I are sort of athletically challenged. Isit possible to make up the work some other way?"
"I'm sure you can find something that will workfor you. Soccer, lacrosse, or perhaps cheerleading?"
"Cheerleading?" Rory asked. Her mother had always made fun of cheerleaders. Just wait until she caught wind of this.
"Yes, well anyways, here are all your information packets. They include your schedules, suite assignments, and information on our recreational activities. A map is of course included. Because of our limited amount of parking space, each student is limited only to one. You are only allowed to leave the grounds on weekends, and people caught doing otherwise will be severely punished, I promise you," he finished, hurrying them out the door.
Once outside, Rory and Louise headed for their dorm building, and Tyler headed for his.
Rory took a key out of her pocket and opened the door to the common room. The place was empty, because classes were still going on. There were two empty rooms to her left and she brought her stuff into one, Louise doing the same. 'Home sweet home,' she thought bitterly before collapsing on her bed.
"Do you have Creative Writing?" Louise asked.
"Yah. We should probably head out, huh?"
Meanwhile, Tyler was opening the door to his own suite. He jumped back when he saw four guys sitting around on couches, watching t.v.
"Are you the new guy?" one of them asked. He was tall with disheveled dirty blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes.
"Yup...I thought everyone had classes."
"Yes, but we skipped so we could meet our new suite mate. Being the kings of Hamilton Academy and all, we can afford to do such things here and there." A dark, Australian guy said.
"Yah well, now that we've seen him and all, can we go to the next class? I really can't get in trouble again!" a shorter one with brown hair begged.
"Relax Collin! We'll go, don't worry." A blonde with brown eyes assured. "You coming? What class do you have?"
"Oh. Umm. I have Biology."
"Finn has that too, he can show you the way. The rest of us have Creative Writing. We'll see you later then…. I didn't catch your name."
"Oh. Sorry. I'm Tyler. Tyler Hayden."
"Oh, you just moved into Hartford a while back didn't you?" the tall one asked.
"Yah, how'd you know?"
"I'm from around there."
"Cool."
"Alright Tristan, enough chit chat! Class!" Collin pressured. Tyler and Tristan laughed and followed them out of the room.
