Alarm clock ringing was not the only thing that could be heard from Rory Hayden's bed. Birds were chirping as they did every morning with the sun shining through her balcony door. Groaning, Rory hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. Grimacing at how bright her room was she squinted as she stumbled out of her comfortable bed. Entering her bathroom, she settled into her morning routine of brushing her teeth, taking a shower, and getting ready for Chilton.
Across the hall, The Fray was heard from one of the rooms. The room belonged to none other than Rory's twin brother, Blake Hayden. Unlike his sister who enjoyed a quiet morning, he preferred having music on while he got ready. His morning routine was uncanny familiar to Rory's but then again they were family, not to mention twins.
Opening her wardrobe, she searched for what would be her Chilton uniform. Her mother had altered the uniform a bit for her own fun so Rory had no idea as to if her uniform would still look like a uniform at all. Lorelai Victoria Hayden was quite a character not to mention Hartford socialite. Unlike the other mothers in society, she did not fit the expectation of what one would expect. Most of the Hartford elite would say her uniqueness was because she was formally a Gilmore Girl. The only daughter and child of Richard and Emily Gilmore.
Having changed into her Lorelai Hayden refashioned uniform, she added just a touch of blush, eye shadow, and lip-gloss and was out and over to her brother's room to borrow a tie to complete the academy's required clothing. Rapping her knuckles on the door, she waited for her brother to unlock it.
Hearing someone at his door, he grabbed his tie off its hanger and slid it around his neck as he opened the door. Seeing his sister there he assumed that she was telling him that they needed to head downstairs for breakfast, but she stopped him when he was about to step out of his room. Rory reached over to her twin and pretended to flick off an imaginary dust of lint. She then reached over to his tie, removed it, and readjusted it so it would fit her. Ignoring his cry for the tie, she headed downstairs where she was immediately able to smell the delicious scent of fresh coffee being brewed.
Upon walking into the kitchen, she saw her mom talking to her dad, Christopher, about an upcoming dinner party. Francine and Straub Hayden had sent their only heir, Christopher Hayden through so many different schools that he became well known among the crowds of cliques at Chilton, as well as the many notorious boarding schools he had attended. When he had entered Chilton as a new student, he immediately rose through the ranks and became one of the most admired students of the preparatory. Out of the many admirers he gained, one had particularly stood out to him and her name was Lorelai Gilmore.
"Morning mom, dad." Rory greeted as she retrieved her coffee mug from one of the cabinets. Pouring herself a cup of coffee, she sat down at the counter and began eating her breakfast.
"Morning, girlie. How does my favorite daughter feel on this beautiful morning, which may I add, is her first day of senior year?" Lorelai asked.
Rory exchanged a knowing glance with her father before saying, "I'm the only daughter you have, mom."
Rushing downstairs, he was only able to catch the last part of the family's morning conversation. "You know, I blame you for taking my favorite tie and leaving me to my own demise on tying my own tie." He said towards his twin as he grabbed a cup of coffee and a pop tart.
"I was going to tell you that I needed a tie but then again you already had one on your neck all ready for me, so what was the point of me asking." Rory quipped innocently. Behind her, their parents laughed at the exchange between the two.
She finished her coffee and strode over to her twin. Sighing she said, "You guys can never get your ties straight," loosening her brother's tie, she placed it on her neck to make the sure the lengths were even before she hooked it around his neck and tied it as tight as she could.
"I'm not sure you know this Ror, but there's this thing I got to do call breathing." Blake tried to joke as he desperately attempted to loosen the tie.
"You two better get going if you want to talk with your friends before school starts." Christopher said hoping to get his kids off to school before they were late.
"Okay, daddy." Rory answered as she grabbed her brother by his hands and dragged him towards the front door. Blake merely waved goodbye to his parents, as he was yank out of the kitchen and soon enough out of the Hayden mansion.
Letting go of her brother's hand, she walked over to the passenger door of her BMW and tossed her brother the keys. Speeding towards Chilton they unknowingly slipped on the facade the school had always expected of them. The facade that only some could see through.
