A/N: Okay, so this is my first Gilmore Girls story, but I thought I would give it a shot since I love the show and reading other peoples fanfics on it.

To start off this story will be a Rogan as they are by far my favourite couple. It will start sometime near the beginning of the second season with Rory at Chilton. Paris, Louise, Madeline and Summer will still be in it and be completely horrible to her, and it is as though Tristan never went to Military school and he is still the same way with Rory. The stuff with Dean has happened but they never got back together after the scene in the scene in the Junkyard. Finally Lorelai and Max broke up and she is starting to date Christopher, and it will be as though his firm is really successful and has money. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore girls and any of the characters in it, they all belong to their rightful owners.

"Miss Geller, Miss Grant, Miss Lynn and Miss Gilmore, you will be focusing on the final death scene and I will put some students from my other class in your group as well"

Rory froze as Miss James began assigning another group. Out of all of the people in the class she had to be put in a group with those three, the three people who hated her guts.

She glanced back to see Paris shooting daggers at her and sighed. This was going to be a long project. They had been extra mean to her since the whole Tristan thing and she never even went to the stupid concert with him, it was hardly her fault that he wouldn't leave her alone. That of course didn't matter to Paris and she had been determined to make Rory life at Chilton complete hell until the day they all left.

As the bell rang signalling the end of the class, they were on her before she could even pick up her books.

"You better not mess this up for me Gilmore, I am going to be the director in the group and you better do exactly as I say, or I will make your miserable existence here even worse" Paris snapped, her brown eyes narrowing as she glared at Rory.

"I just want to pass the class the same as you, just lay off me for a second, would that be so hard?" Rory replied standing up herself.

"I make the rules around here, you don't tell me what to do and I will decide how I want to talk to you. If I pass this with good grades then I will be well on the way to getting in to Harvard, and I am already going to be editor of the paper next semester so you might want to start being a whole lot nicer to me"

"I have never not been nice to you!" Rory cried "You're just mad because you have got it in to your head that I have a thing going on with Tristan, which is totally ridiculous as I have never once done anything to show that. I don't even like him, he's an arrogant jerk!"

Paris looked like she was going to explode, her face was getting redder and what looked like an angry face before, was now getting ten times worse.

"Do you think she's mad?" Madeline said to Louise, watching Paris with some amusement.

"This has got nothing to do with any of that" Paris snarled "I don't care weather you and Tristan are together or not, all I care about is getting in to Harvard, and I am not letting a little goody goody like you stand in my way!"

With that she grabbed her book bag a stormed out of the room, causing a few students on their way in to the room to scatter in order to get out of her way.

"Oh yeah, she's mad" Louise replied with a smirk.

With that they went off in the direction Paris went in, their heels tapping loudly and too short skirts swaying behind them.

Rory sighed. She had just about had it with this place, but she knew she couldn't leave; it was her only chance in getting in to an Ivy League school. She had to stay. Picking up her books, she left the room and headed for the cafeteria for lunch.

She sighed with relief when the last bell finally rang and she could go home. The day had passed slowly and after the incident with Paris that morning, they were all being especially horrible. She wasn't especially looking forward to Friday night dinner later, but anything was better than here.

She was sad that it had become like this. School used to be a really enjoyable time for her and the day she got her letter saying that Chilton had a place had been one of the best days of her life. That had all changed when she met Paris and the rest of the girls that went there.

Rory was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice someone come up behind her until it was too late.

"Mary" a familiar voice said, making her jump as she walked to her locker. She groaned, he was just going top off the day by making it even worse.

"What do you want Tristan?" she snapped, her patience gone after dealing with Paris earlier.

"That's not a very nice way to greet someone, I was just saying hello, your being rude"

"You want me to be more polite?" She said "How about learn my name for starters, and then see about leaving me alone and getting rid of this obsession of trying to get me to go out with you. You don't even like me that much"

"Hey, you don't know that, I like you a lot" he said with a smirk as he let his eyes trail over her body.

"Just leave me alone Tristan" Rory snapped with disgust "I really don't want to deal with you right now"

"What, bad day?" he asked sarcastically.

"As a matter of fact yes, and you being here is not helping at all" They had reached the lockers and she was just about to open hers when he stepped in front of it.

"Move!" she cried in exasperation, she had officially had enough.

His smirk increased. "Not until you agree to let me take you to the dance"

"What?" she said in confusion.

"The big school dance on Saturday, the one that all the fliers around the place are for" he said speaking slowly as if she was a five year old.

"I know about the dance" she snapped "but there is no way that I am ever going to go with you after everything, so go find someone else to bother"

"Oh, so who are you going to go with then?" he said starting to sound annoyed "You and Bag Boy aren't together anymore, so who? Or are you just going to sit home with Mommy and go to bed early"

"Its none of your business what I'm doing on Saturday, but none of my plans or ever going to involve you, so go away" She cried, although on the inside his words stung, but there was no way he was going to know that.

"What, did I hit a nerve? You know what I was just trying to do you a favour. No one else is ever going to go to the dance with you as your such a prude all of the time, you need to get a life"

Rory froze, she tried to open her mouth to say something but she couldn't. That hurt, and it was close to what she had been dreading about herself all along, to hear someone else say it was incredibly painful.

Tristan seemed to falter as he saw the hurt in her eyes and saw that maybe he'd gone to far. He was a bout to say something else but Rory was already walking off toward the doors, not caring that she still needed to put her books in her locker.

"Rory" he shouted after her.

"Just leave me alone!" she cried and practically ran out of the school.

Rory was sat on her bed at home thinking about what had happened earlier in the day.

Was Tristan right after all? Was she too much of a prude for anyone to really like her? Was that the reason that no one seemed to like her much at Chilton? The only friends she really had were her mother and Lane, and they had known her all her life. She was known as the towns princess, who could never do anything wrong, even when her and Dean broke up it was all his fault, never naïve little Rory's.

The words 'goody goody' and 'prude' rang in her ears, along with Paris and Tristan's voices. She wanted to change, not be the same perfect person that she had been her entire life. But how could she? She was the towns princess and her Grandparents little angel, even her mother thought she could do no wrong.

It wasn't as though she could change at Chilton either, things were already set there, people had their impression of her and they were going to stick with them.

"Honey I'm home" Lorelai called in to the house dramatically "I thought we could discuss battle strategies for later when we tell 'them' about me and your dad"

Rory smiled slightly, you could always count on her mother to cheer her up, even if only a bit.

"You do know Dad is coming to dinner right?" she asked as she left her room to see her Mom.

"Yes, but he'll just go along with what we decide as our plans are always brilliant" Lorelai said with a grin. She had collapsed on the couch as soon as she got home and Rory went to sit next to her. "What time is he coming anyway?"

"In about 15 minutes" Rory replied glancing at the clock "So I'd better start thinking up a plan to brief him on if I were you"

"Hey, you mean we should start thinking up a plan, we're in this together" Lorelai cried indignantly.

"No you're not dragging me in to one of your crazy ideas again, in my opinion you should just come out and say it"

"What! Something that simple could never work, and besides I made you, without me you wouldn't exist, you have to help, you owe it to me!"

"You're insane, you know that right" Rory said rolling her eyes.

"Huh, I'm offended. I thought you of all people would understand, but obviously not, well I …"

She was cut of by the doorbell sounding. They both glanced at the clock and then back at the door, before looking at each other.

"He's early" Rory said

"10 minutes early" Lorelai added.

"How could he?"

"How could you?" Lorelai yelled at the door.

"How about you let me in it's raining out here" Chris yelled back from outside the door.

"Well come back in 10 minutes and we'll think about it" Lorelai yelled back.

"Lor, come on" Chris said.

"Oh fine" She said and got up to answer the door.

Rory smiled at her parents antics but still couldn't get toady's conversations out of her head. She was sure her parents didn't have any trouble at school. They did all of the right things and managed to be both clever and have friends, she knew her mother had been one of the brightest in her class.

"Hey Kiddo" Chris said, pulling form her thoughts as he wandered over to her to give her a hug.

"Hey Dad" she said smiling as he kissed her cheek. "How's work?" she asked.

"Still there, the usual" he replied smiling back. "How school?"

Her own smile faltered "Fine" she said, not meeting his eyes. They both seemed to pick up on something in her voice, but guessing that she didn't want to talk about it, Lorelai changed the subject.

"So what's in the envelope?" she asked, gesturing to the think creamy card that Chris had tucked under his arm. "It looks fancy"

"A school reunion invitation from Andover, you remember the Boarding school I went to for a few years" he replied

"You mean that place you abandoned me to go to for 3 years of our teenage life" Lorelai dramatically said.

"Right that's the one" Chris said with a roll of his eyes.

"So are you going to go?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't know yet, its kind of a long way to go, but some of the best years of my life were at that place…Apart from the ones I spent with you of course" he quickly added after catching Lorelai's look.

Rory however wasn't listening anymore. Her mind was on her school situation and how she wanted to leave. Andover was all the way in London, which although meant that she would be no where near the people she loved, and that would be hard, no one knew her there. She could change and be the person she wanted to be, with no one judging her or expecting anything from her, it would be a fresh start. It was still an excellent school, as the Hayden's wouldn't have sent her Dad there if it wasn't. She would still have a chance of getting to an Ivy League school, but she would be away from Paris and Tristan. It was the perfect opportunity.

She wanted to go.
