lackinglime123- Thank you for pointing that out to me. When I first began writing this story, their ages were 14 and 13. I changed them and forgot to change the years. Sorry.

So yes. Sara was born in 1989. Matt was born in 1991. Once again I apologize for my mistake.

And I thank you all for reviewing and I'm happy to hear that you find my story enjoyable.

And another thing before you read on…

This story is kind of about sibling relationships. Mother/father/daughter relationships. Friendship. Stuff like that. There will also be some conflict in Luke and Lorelai's relationship. Not every relationship is as perfect as it seems. It explores heartbreak, rebellion, and heartbreak. This is just some stuff that you can look forward to. I'm not exactly sure where I am going with the story, but I will find out when I get there.

I am very busy with school and swimming right now, so don't expect immediate updates. Usually I get a shitload of homework and it takes along time to finish it. I am in ninth grade, which is my first year of high school and I still have to get used to having homework in every class every day. So be patient.

And now for Chapter 2.

-At the school-

Sara walks out of her homeroom class and starts walking down the hall. "Sara! Sara!" A girl comes running up behind her.

"Steph!" They hug. "How was your summer?" She says as they break the hug.

"Let's just say that I had more than a great summer."

"Did you get arrested again?" Sara asked accusingly.

"You are never gonna live that down are you?" Stephanie rolled her eyes.

"No. It's too much fun to tease you on it." Sara laughed. "And since you never returned my calls or kept in touch or anything, I came to the conclusion that you either fell of the face of the planet, or that you teamed up with Megan and decided to hate me."

"Never ever….EVER, suggest something like that again. I was in Japan visiting my aunt and uncle all summer and they wouldn't allow long distance phone calls. Sorry…"

"Nah, don't worry about it." Sara said. "So, Japan, wow! Did you have fun?"

"Eh, it was ok. All I had to do there was visit with my aunt and uncle and my five year old cousin. But the good part was is that my brother and parents stayed here."

"Yeah, but your brother is hot."

"Ugh….don't make me puke." Stephanie said. "I see you finally talked your dad into letting you get your hair dyed." She took some strands into her hand. "Red. I like it!"

"Yeah. I had a choice between blonde highlights or red lowlights. I chose the lowlights. I don't think that I could live with being another blonde on the face of this earth." They both laughed. "Let me see your schedule."

"Ok." Stephanie dug into her pocket and grabbed out the white piece of paper. They compared them.

"No classes together. That sucks." Sara slouched.

"Yeah. But we have lunch together!" Stephanie said.

"Yeah, we do have that. Where is your locker?" Sara asked.

"Um, it's by the library." Stephanie answered. "Are your parents still thinking about making you go to that school in Hartford that Rory went to?"

"Yeah, um, I have to get to my next class." Sara said, not really wanting to touch on the subject.

"Alright….since we have a half-day, I'll meet you at your dad's diner after school."

"K, bye." Sara walked away from her friend and rant o her second class because she knew that she was going to be late if she walked.

-In the Diner that Afternoon-

Sara walked into the diner. Lorelai was sitting at the counter and Luke walked out of the kitchen. "Oh yay." Luke said sarcastically as he watched the group of sixteen-year-olds enter the diner.

"Hey mom, dad." Sara said as she walked up to the counter. "I thought that you were gonna take the day off." She said to her father.

"Caesar had an emergency." He replied.

"Oh." Sara said and Luke walked into the kitchen.

"How was school?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh, you know. Nothing special. I have all of my classes with the bitchy cheerleaders." Sara said and rolled her eyes.

"I see." Lorelai said. "Guess what I found in the mail this morning." She continued excitedly.

"Um…..did my guitar come in yet?" Sara asked.

"No……Your Chilton acceptance letter!" Lorelai said, and then dug into her purse to grab the giant envelope. It amazed Sara that her mother carried around a purse that big, yet still looks cool with it.

"Oh." Sara said, and then slouched into the stool next to her mother.

"I know, I know. You don't want to go to the school. But it's a great opportunity and you are very smart. You would do great and you would be challenged more if you went to this school. We aren't going to make you go to the school, but you should take the night to think about it."

"Um, ok. I'll think about it. But don't get your hopes up."

"Ok! Good."

"I'm gonna go hang with my friends now." Sara said than walked over to the table that all of her friends were sitting at.

"Oh, hey…what's that big brown thing that you got right there shorty?" Natalie asked. Sara was shorter than the rest of her friends so she has the nickname of shorty.

"Apparently it's my Chilton acceptance letter." She said.

"Oh, hey let me see it!" Stephanie grabbed the envelope from her hand. "Are they making you go?"

"No, mom said that I could choose if I wanted to go on my own."

"You can't leave us. There would be nobody to kick Megan's ass." A boy came up from behind Sara, hugged her and lifted her off of her feet.

"Eric. Put me down, my dad will kill you." She laughed.

"Mmhmm. I'm sure he will." He also laughed and put her down. "Don't leave us for that rich asshole, pep school."

"Yeah, you can't leave us here. We can't be the outcasts of the school without you." Michelle said.

"Yeah!" Everyone began saying.

Sara laughed. "Come on guys. I probably won't go. You all know that I hate that stupid school."

The door jingled and a scream came from across the diner. "Mommy!"

"Rory!" Lorelai also screamed and ran to her daughter. They hugged for a few seconds then settled down. They took a seat at the counter. "How was your trip to Europe with your boyfriend?"

"Not as fun as when we all went, but it was fun." Rory answered.

"Great answer!" Lorelai said.

"Where are my siblings?" Rory asked excitedly.

"Well, your sister is over there at the table with her friends. And Matt is not here."

"I'm gonna go see if I can get Sara to talk to me." She said, than walked over to the table that Sara was sitting at. She put her hands on her sister's eyes. "Guess who?"

"Hmmm. I don't know. Would it be the only person on the face of the earth that would scream like that just to be seeing her mother?"

"Yup! How was your first day at school?" She said, grabbing a chair and taking a seat next to her sister.

"Unpleasantly boring." Sara replied nonchalantly.

"Come on be positive. Your favorite sister is back from Europe!"

"Would that also be my only sister? Or wait, you must be talking about my long lost twin."

"And I see that we haven't changed much." Rory said, then grabbed the brown envelope from her Sara's hands. "Oh my God! You got accepted!"

Sara rolled her eyes. "Yeah…."

"This is so great! Wow. This is really great, Sara."

"Yeah…sure…"

"Rory! Hey, I didn't see you come in." Luke said and Rory got up and hugged him.

"Oh, really? How could you miss it? There was a marching band and everything." Sara said sarcastically.

Rory and Luke walked over to the counter and started talking with Lorelai.

Michelle looked at Sara, "I know you don't get along with your sister but you were really bitchy right there. Bitchier than normal."

"Yeah well, the only reason that people want me to go to that stupid school is because I get good grades and since I get good grades, I am expected to go to this stupid school. I am expected to live up to whatever Rory does. The only reason that I got accepted is because Rory went there. And every time that Rory comes home, that's all that people talk about. Rory this, Rory that. It's sickening and I'm sick of being expected to be Rory. It's like I'm invisible when she is here, and when she isn't here, I am still invisible. The only one who I actually feel knows me and really gets me, is mom. And that's only because I think that she sees herself as a teenager, in me. But the rest of my family doesn't see me as me, they see me as a mini-Rory with a twist." Sara ranted. She was quiet enough that her family didn't hear her, but loud enough that everyone who was meant to hear it could hear it.

"Mini-Rory with a twist. Last year it was Rory-Gone-Wild." Eric said and the group laughed.

"Make fun all you want, but you don't live in my world."

"Yeah and we all have are problem in our family's. Look at my family. I live with my grandparents because my dad is in rehab and my mom left me when I was five." Stephanie said.

Sara nodded. "Come on Shorty. Cheer up. Things could be worse." Michelle comforted. "Think of yourself as lucky."

"Ok…if you consider that lucky."

Lorelai came up behind Sara, "Sara, we are gonna scratch the dinner idea tonight. Your grandmother found out that she was home, actually Rory told her, and we are going to go to the Gilmore house for dinner."

"Do….,"

"Yes. You have to go. You can hang with your friends until five, come home and get ready. The dinner is at seven."

"How much would you love me if I wore my Pantera shirt?"

"Hmmm…a lot! See you later babe." Lorelai said then walked away.

"Great. I have to go to my grandparents now." Sara sulked.

"Don't you usually skip those things?" Michelle asked.

"Yeah, but apparently I have to go to this one."

"Didn't you get in a fight with your grandmother the last time you went?"

"Yeah, but that was stupid. She wanted to meet Jeremy. I say that I have one boyfriend and she assumes that I am actually in a relationship with the guy. Apparently, it is impossible to just date a guy." Sara rolled her eyes. "We should go throw stones at the cheerleaders."

"Ooo, hey, that'll be fun." Eric laughed.

"Go find a stone now, because here they come." Stephanie pointed to the group of girls and guys walking into the diner.

Ok. This is where I ended this chapter. Feedback would be great.

Chapter 3: Sara gets in a hissing contest with the 'cheerleaders.' Then there is the dinner with Emily and Richard. We will also see whether or not Sara decides to go to Chilton. There will be a little more Luke/Lorelai fluff in the next chapter also.
