A/N: This isn't my best work, writing wise, but you'll see a lot more of Diana's personality in this chapter, and there are some big twists in the story here. So bottom line: it's my writing that stinks in this chapter; the storyline's actually getting pretty interesting.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Gilmore Girls, but I do own Josh, Diana, Daniel, and Hannah.

It had been over a week since Diana's first day at Chilton, and things were going great. Everything had turned around suddenly. Tristan wasn't staring at Diana anymore. In fact, she hadn't seen him around school since the second day!

After her American history class, Diana ran outside. She'd asked Daniel to meet her at Chilton, so they could go straight to Lane's concert in Hartford-just a small gig, but it meant a lot to Lane, and Rory was going with Jess. Diana hadn't seen Rory since last Friday, and that wasn't under the best circumstances.

Diana looked around outside in the parking lot and near the Chilton courtyard. Finally, she spotted Daniel. He waved and she smiled. She ran to him, jumping into his arms. They kissed, caring little of who saw them. At that time, Diana didn't know that she should've cared.

Hannah walked out of the building just in time to see them kiss. She didn't really care, but still, she stuck it at the back of her mind, and moved on.

"Shall we?" said Daniel, still smiling.

"We shall", Diana replied.

They jumped into Lane's convertible that Daniel was borrowing, and drove for about five minutes, pulling into a tiny lot situated in front of a building the size of two, maybe three Chilton classrooms.

"This is a tiny coffee shop! They're going to have a rock band play here?" Diana exclaimed.

"I guess. Wait, check the back seat. The address is written on some paper back there", said Daniel.

Diana reached for the paper in the back of the car. Her backpack fell from her lap to the space in front of the seat. Books and random pieces of paper flew out, but Diana didn't notice. Daniel, nosy as he was, grabbed one of the pieces of paper.

"Sixth annual Chilton senior class basketball game", he read out loud, catching Diana's attention. She turned to face him.

"What's that?"

"It fell out of your backpack."

"All students and their families and friends welcome. Bring your school spirit, blah, blah, blah. Sunday, September 4th", Daniel continued, a look of mild interest spreading across his face.

"It's just a way for the school to make money. It's stupid", said Diana.

"No it's not. We should go."

"Daniel--"

"Diana, you're going to be going to that school for the next four years. You have to make some friends."

"No I don't."

"So you want to walk around the school and hear people whispering, 'There goes Mr. Medina's daughter. She's such a suck up."

"Well, no."

"Then you have to make friends! And that starts here."

"At a basketball game?"

"At the Chilton basketball game", Daniel responded matter-of-factly, putting his arm around Diana. She smiled.

"Yeah. Okay. You're going with me right?"

"Right."

"Okay."

"Good, good. So now that we have that squared away, how's that address coming?"

"Got it! Wow, this is the place."

"Quaint."

"Charming."

"Isn't it?"

They got out of the car and walked inside. Lane spotted them immediately. She was there with the band, Rory, and Jess. Rory saw Diana and put her head down. Lane waved to them, and ran over.

"Hey!"

"Hi Mom", Daniel said.

"So…we're almost ready, okay? I saved you some seats over there" said Lane, pointing in the direction of Jess and Rory.

"Thanks, Lane" said Diana.

She smiled and ran back to the tiny stage to help Brian finish setting up.

"How can they be almost ready?" Diana asked. "There's hardly anyone here!

"Probably the maximum amount of people that will fit in here", Daniel replied with a smile, as they walked towards Rory and Jess.

"Rory!" Diana exclaimed. "You haven't called since last week. What's up?"

"Oh, nothing, really", she replied. She wasn't sure if Lorelai had told Diana about the kiss, so this was very awkward.

"Diana! Hey!" said Jess, walking up them out of nowhere.

"Hey."

"Hi Daniel."

"Hi."

"Lane said there were seats around here", said Diana.

"Right, right. Over there", Jess said, pointing in back of him, where there were three empty chairs…two for Daniel and Diana and one for Diana's backpack.

Lane's band rocked. There were some complications, as there are at all concerts. Brian got nervous and spat into the microphone causing a technical malfunction, so they started screaming instead of singing, but it was okay, because no one could tell the difference.

After the concert, Diana went to find Rory. She'd been acting weird and Diana was a little bit worried about her, but she and Jess had already left by the time the concert was over. Disappointed, all she could do was leave.

On Thursday night, Rory called to cancel Friday night dinner, claiming she'd caught some kind of virus from a guy at work. A funny anecdote went along with that story, and while Lorelai was laughing, Diana was frowning. She'd had Rory on her mind since the concert.

"Mom! She's not sick! You know that!"

"Of course she is. She said she's sick, so she's sick, Diana!"

"She's lying!"

"Rory doesn't lie."

"Never too late to start."

"Diana STOP! She doesn't want us coming over. Whether she's sick or not…that's really none of our business."

"She's your daughter."

"So?"

"And my sister!"

"So?"

"So that's our business!"

"No it's not!"

"Fine!"

Diana wasn't one for slamming doors, but in her mind, this occasion called for it. Since when was Rory none of her business?

Sunday seemed so far away, but in time, it was only just around the corner. The day of the basketball game, everyone was excited, especially Max, Jess, and Rory, who were actually going to watch the basketball. Lorelai and Max had participated in a healthy, or possibly unhealthy, debate Saturday night, about going to a basketball game to watch basketball. According to Lorelai, it's the most ridiculous idea since umbrella hats.

Diana, Max, Diana, and Daniel piled into Max's car. Jess called to tell them that he and Rory would meet them there.

They arrived at Chilton just before the game was to start. Diana looked around the giant gymnasium recognizing not a single face.

"Where should we sit?" she asked Daniel.

"Far, far away from your parents, please."

"Oh, trust me; I was thinking the same thing."

They walked up to the third highest bleacher. Not too high for everyone to see whatever they did, not too low for Lorelai and Max to see whatever they did.

Daniel stared at Diana.

"I'm not going to socialize!" Diana yelled with a smile.

"I know."

"So why are you staring at me?"
"No reason."

He leaned in to kiss her, as a whistle blew and the game started. Fate must've been in a bad mood, because for the second time, Hannah walked into the gym right as they kissed. She was with her boyfriend, Josh.

As Hannah stared at Daniel and Diana, Josh wondered what she was staring at. He looked up and saw Daniel and Diana kissing.

"Whoa, she's hot", he said softly.

"What?" Hannah yelled in rage.

"Nothing."

"That was something."

"No it wasn't."

"You said she was hot."

"Who?"

"Diana."

"Who?"

"That girl up there", Hannah said, pointing to Diana.

"Well she is!"

"What?"

"She's hot!"

"Josh!"

"What?"

Hannah was fed up. She walked up to the third bleacher from the top and tapped Diana on the shoulder. She was still in the middle of a kiss, so she figured someone had accidentally bumped into her, and didn't look up. Hannah pushed her. This time, Diana turned around with an angry look.

"What?"

"Stay away from my boyfriend!" Hannah screeched, and walked away furiously.

"What was that about?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know."

"You hanging around her boyfriend?"

"I didn't even know she had a boyfriend."

"You hanging around a guy that might be her boyfriend?"

"No, Daniel!"

"You hanging around any guys?"

"No!"

"Promise?"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Jess and Rory had just walked into the gym. He put his hand to his eyes, as it was very bright, and searched for Lorelai and Max.

Tristan, who sat on the lowest bleacher nearest to the gym's entrance, noticed Rory, but didn't recognize the guy she was with. Being the instigator that he was, he got up from the bleacher, asking a student to save him seat, and walked over to Rory and Jess, before they could sit down.

"Hello Rory. Hi, sir. The name's Tristan DuGrey and you are?"

A/N: Before all the Lit fans go crazy and say things like "Stop confusing me! I thought she was with Jess!", she is. I don't usually say anything about what will happen next, but in this case, Rory will be very angry with Tristan for saying anything because she doesn't want her relationship to suffer. Aah I've said too much already. There will be a LOT of drama in chapter 8.
