A/N: I'm surprised at the amazing amount of reviews I had received last chapter. Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. Enjoy!

Skidding into their assigned parking slot, they saw their friends' cars already parked to the right of them. Their section of the parking lot had become their hangout place before school. Louise and Madeline were sitting on the hood of their red Ferrari. Tristan was leaning on the school's outer brick wall and Paris was scanning through her book bag as if to make sure everything she needed was inside. Stepping out of the car, both Rory and Blake joined them. These infamous six made up The Chilton Royal Council.

Rory and Blake were known as the Hayden twins. Both of them had similar piercing blue eyes and brunette hair. Rory Leigh Hayden had inherited her mother's sense of humor as well as her mother's thrown at Chilton. Unlike most of the group except for Paris, Rory prepared for her tests to which most of the others would just pray that they would pass by scanning the materials at the last minute.

Blake Hayden was considered the older twin by three minutes. He had gained his father's liking for sports as to where his sister and mother were absolutely clueless to it. Although they did not understand it, they were always in the stand rooting for him during his games.

Paris Geller had met Rory at the beginning of elementary school and being the overachiever that she was, had felt threaten by Rory. It had taken Lorelai and Mrs. Geller quite an amount of scheduled play dates before Paris had accepted Rory as an acquaintance. The relationship between the blonde-haired woman and Rory had grown since elementary school and they were now considered close friends.

Tristan DuGrey was an all around player. With his spiked blonde hair and cold blue eyes, there was not a doubt that he was one both on and off the court. He was originally one of Blake's teammates at basketball camp. After their last game of the summer, he was introduced to the Hayden's at the age of six. Discovering he had lived just a few blocks down the street from them, he became a frequent guest at the Hayden household.

Louise Grant and Madeline Lynn were two of a kind. The two of them had joined the group around their earlier teens. It had been another boring society function and of course, Paris, Tristan, Blake, and Rory could not stand being in the main room any longer so they headed out to the patio to get some fresh air. Ironically, a few seconds later, a blonde and brunette girl headed outside for the same thing. Seeing as though they were the only teens there, they became well acquainted with each other and later on became friends.

These six were no different from the rest of the Chiltonites. They were brought up the same exact way as everyone else was in Hartford but the one difference that set them a part from the rest was that they could see past a person's surname and bank account. They would even let down their guard, when they were around each other because they did not worry about being deceived. Everyone at Chilton thought they were idiots to think that betrayal would never occur because no matter how perfect a friendship; lies would be told, secrets would be kept and betrayal was always right around the corner...

"Well, well the Hayden twins finally decided to grace us with their presence." Louise commented as she slid off the car. The twins greeted Louise in return, knowing that it was Louise's way of welcoming them.

"Rory, I love what your mom did to your uniform." Madeline exclaimed.

Blushing Rory twirled around so Madeline could inspect the attire. She had grown to understand that when either Madeline or Louise complimented you, they wanted to make sure the compliment wasn't a pretense in any way.

"Yup, I definitely love it." She confirmed, nodding. "Do you think Lorelai would alter my uniform too?"

"I'm sure she'd love to do it." Rory gave Madeline a smile.

"Great. I'll come over after-school tomorrow."

"Are you two done scheduling the fashion style appointment? Because I wouldn't dare want to interrupt this little heart to heart." Paris said in a tone, which obviously meant she was annoyed with the two. "Now, hand over your schedules, so I can see what classes we have together." She commanded.

Everyone reluctantly handed over their schedules and hoped they weren't going to be stuck in a class all by themselves with Paris. Sure, they were her friends but being in a class with Paris was as intense as having to stand up to a very pissed off parent with an excuse you know they will not accept, an excuse you know is absolutely pitiful.

After waiting a couple of minutes, Rory softly asked, "do we all have the same homeroom like last year?"

"No, Louise, Tristan and me have Mr. Medina." While you three, she pointed at Blake, Rory, and Madeline. "Have some new teacher, in room," she paused to recheck the classroom number. "266."

Reaching into her messenger bag, she took out a pen and began marking on their schedules. No one bothered to ask Paris what she was doing until she capped her black pen. She gave everyone back their schedule and to the other council members' surprise, Paris had written down beside each class whom in the group they had it with.

"Looks like you and I have quite a few classes together, Mary." Tristan winked.

"How great," Rory remarked dryly. Most of her classes were with her brother's oldest friend -whom also never called her by her given name- and a hectic controlling Paris. How wonderful... She thought to herself. Just wonderful...

"How you holdin' up?" Blake asked, as he sat down at the lunch table and saw Rory burying her head in her arms as if she was nursing a headache.

"Fantastic, Blake." She replied sarcastically. "Did you honestly even have to ask?" Getting no verbal response from her twin, she looked up from her current position. "How've you been?"

"Excluding the fact that I'm in hell for another three hours. I'm close to fine, as anyone can be." He answered, taking a bite into the BLT sandwich, he had bought from the cafeteria.

Paris and Louise arrived at the table and sat down. Not too soon after, Tristan and Madeline came with six cups of coffee in hand. Smelling the scent of coffee, Rory immediately jumped out of her seat. "Thank God, at least two of you guys had enough sense to head out to get some coffee. What would the first day of Chilton be without coffee." She rambled.

Rushing over to Tristan and Madeline whom were on the other side of the table, she grabbed herself a cup of coffee from the cup holder. It had at least four hours since she had a cup of coffee. She gulped down the hot liquid and began to relax as all the tension she had gather from her earlier classes faded. Finishing off the cup she went over to the trashcan and threw it away before returning to her seat between Blake and Louise.

Immediately after sitting down, Louise announced to the council that she would be throwing a "Welcome back to Chilton" party on Friday. She didn't need to ask whether her friends were coming or not because they were expected to be there, whether be it friendship obligations or upholding the image that Chilton had painted.

A/N: This is defiantly longer than my first chapter but since most of you wanted longer chapters, here you go. Reviews. I'll be looking forward to them.
