Friday Night Lights Fan fiction

Chapter 1

Dillon Texas Population 1500 and growing and her new home. Chloe was being exiled to Dillon Texas so that her uncle Buddy Garrity could straighten her out. After all he raised 3 perfect children, who obey and are role models within the Dillon community. However none shone quite as bright as his eldest Lyla. She was captain of the cheerleading squad, dating the school quarterback and basically unnaturally perfect. So if anyone could reform her uncooperative and disappointing attitude it would be her uncle Buddy. Lyla and Chloe weren't really that opposite, in fact at one point they were identical and close as you could imagine. Chloe was also a head cheerleader, and dating the star quarterback, at least she was until her mom and brother died. Lyla and Chloe used to see the world in the same way, but her mom and brother died everything changed.

Her mom had been battling Leukemia for almost 2 years and her brother was starting his first year on the varsity football team. He was a quarterback just like her dad, but one night when she was at a party she had called him to pick her up. On the way home they were in a three car collision. Her brother and one of the other drivers was killed. Somehow her baby brother saved her and she never lived it down. Her dad was furious that it was his bastard daughter that had died. Now his future star quarterback was gone and so were his dreams. Her mom wasn't as resentful, but Chloe always felt the weight of that guilt, because her mom just seemed to give up after his death. She stopped fighting and had finally accepted her leukemia as a death sentence. Chloe always felt responsible and wondered why her mom didn't keep fighting to stay with her, why wasn't she good enough? That was the least of her problems, nobody knew, well they knew but they chose not to believe it, but Chloe kept the deepest pain, and decided to make it her deepest secret. Nobody in Dillon needed to know about her past, at least her secret past.

So she was on the bus just arriving at the station where she saw Lyla and Uncle Buddy waiting anxiously for her. She let out a sigh, and grabbed her purse as the bus pulled to a stop. She put on her best smile and got off the bus. She grabbed her suitcases and walked over to where they were standing.

"Chloe!" Lyla yelled. "I'm so excited your here it will be just like when we were kids. Except now we get to be on the same cheerleading squad instead of meeting at rival games."

"Cheerleading?" Chloe said in a very confused tone.

"Yes, Chloe Cheerleading. Lyla had an extra spot on the team with Julie leaving so she put you down to fill it. You need to get involved around here to meet the right people." Uncle Buddy said as he put her suitcases in the truck. "Oh I also got you an older car that I had at the dealership runs fine, just thought you should have a truck of your own to get around here in Dillon."

"Thank you Uncle Buddy." Chloe said with a smile. "Okay that's everything can we get home now? I cannot wait to take a hot bath and get to bed. After all I'd hate to be too tired to go to school tomorrow."

"Actually Chloe Dad is going to take your stuff home and we are going to make an appearance at our quarterback's birthday party. " Lyla said more as an order than an invitation.

"Oh okay, can we not stay out too late though, I have a lot to get caught up on this week."Chloe said as she tied her hair back.

"Sure, just a quick hello, a bit of mingling nothing too big, it's just a party down at the beach." Lyla said.

"Just watch out for that Tim Riggins, that boy is trouble." My uncle said before driving off.

"Don't worry you'll be fine, everyone's been expecting you." Lyla said. So Chloe hoped in Lyla's car and they headed down to the beach. As they pulled in Chloe could see a keg, a huge fire and pretty much every teen in Dillon. "Okay here we are."

Chloe got out of the car and headed towards the keg to grab a drink. She decided the fire seemed too crowded by jocks fawning after her cousin so she headed out closer to the water, where she stumbled over someone's legs. She quickly recovered from the fall and looked down at the owner of the legs she had just tripped over.

"So you're the infamous Chloe Scott." The boy said.

"Excuse me do I know you?" Chloe said in very confused as to how he knew her name.

"Tim, Tim Riggins Panthers fullback, I also used to date your cousin Lyla." Tim said with a sly grin.

"Oh so you're Riggins, I was told by Lyla and my uncle to stay away from you." She said as she took a seat next to him in the sand. "So what exactly did Lyla say about me to earn the title of infamous?"

"You know sex, depression, drugs, pretty much the female version of me" Tim said with a smile.

"Well it's good to know that my cousin thinks so highly of me, guess we're sort of in the same boat in her eyes." Chloe said with a smile. "Lyla has this idea that she can change me back into who I was before my mom and brother died, but truth is, when they died so did I."

"Well if you ever need another tortured soul to talk to I am actually a pretty good listener, people just don`t know it." Tim said with a smile. This boy's smile made her heart jump, she couldn't explain it, and she had no idea what it meant, but it was like for the first time since their death she was feeling something.

"Thanks I'll keep that in mind." Chloe said looking out onto the water.

"CHLOE!!!!!!! Let's go!" Lyla yelled once she saw Chloe sitting with Tim. Chloe sighed and got up and being a gentleman Tim got up with her too.

"Well her majesty beckons; I guess I should be going. I'll see you in school Tim." Chloe said before beginning to walk away.

"See you in school." Tim replied as he watched her walk away. Maybe having a new girl in Dillon wouldn't be too bad. After all she didn't seem to be a rally or cheerleader type and she certainly didn't fall all over herself when she spoke to him, well she did but of course that was due to his legs being in the way. Maybe the Chloe girl would turn out to be more interesting then he thought.

Chapter 2

First days in a new school always sucked, granted she had never been the new girl but she knew how the new girl was treated. She was either treated like a leaper or like a shiny new toy. She almost hoped for the leaper, she didn't feel like being stared at and ogled. She hated feeling like the shiny new toy that everyone wanted to play with, and everyone would have a story of why she was in Dillon; most of them would be 100% wrong. They would make up some elaborate rumours that would eventually fade if she ignored them. So as she walked in to the principal's office, she tried to imagine the many things that would be said effectively drowning out anything that was being said by her Uncle Buddy and the principal. That was until she heard the principal direct her voice directly at her.
"Chloe I'm going to have your cousin come and escort you to your class." The woman said as she reached for the phone to page the classroom. However something in the office reception area caught her attention. "Mr. Riggins late as usual I see."

"Slept in Mrs. Thompson, I was just signing in." Tim said as he approached the doorway.

"Well then I'll save Ms. Garritty the trip and have you escort Chloe to class. Have a great first day Chloe, I will have Mrs. Taylor come and get you sometime tomorrow to discuss how your first day went and any concerns you may have with any of your classes."Principal Thompson said. "You are free to go."

I stood up grabbed my bag and walked past Riggins who was still standing in the doorway. He followed me out the door where I stopped because I had no idea where I was going. Tim stopped confused as to the loss of my momentum. "Why'd you stop?" He said turning to look at me.

"Well I don't know my way around the school and being given the title of my escort to class would entail actually leading me to class." I said with a severely sarcastic tone.

"I never really said I was going to class now did I?" Tim said with a smile. "But I guess I could take you to English."

"Thank you, I appreciate it." I said with a smile. "So why were you really late this morning? Too hung-over to crawl out of bed?"

"Something like that, oh and the chick I had with me shut my alarm off, stupid bitch." Tim said. "Girls seem to enjoy pretending they are a girlfriend rather than a one night stand."

"And yet they all come running." I said.

"Not all of them." Tim said looking back at me, with a look I did not quite understand.

"Yes well I'm off men for a while." I said with a slight smile. "Since you know what goes on with most of the ladies in this town, idea where the cheerleaders meet for practice?"

"Really you're going to be the new cheerleader?" He said with a laugh. "I guess you do have some spunk, and the cheerleading squad could use a few lessons in sarcasm. They meet on the field, where we practice. So who's your player?"

"#33" I said causing him to laugh hysterically. "What do you know him? Is he some sort of perve? Monica didn't tell me who he was just his number and I haven't bothered asking someone. He's probably some second string quarterback or something."

"Guess you'll just have to wait and see at practice." Tim said before opening the door for me. "Here we are, Mrs. Delgado, this is Chloe she's knew Principal Thompson asked me to bring her down with me. Sorry I'm late."

"Chloe, yes Principal Thompson said to expect you today. Did you want to sit near your cousin because I have no problem rearranging the seating order if it makes things more comfortable for you?" Mrs. Delgado said.

"Oh, no don't worry about that I will take any available seat." I said with a smile.

"Alright well, the seat in front of Mr. Riggins is empty why don't you take that one, perhaps you can keep him on track." Mrs. Delgado said.

"Well it looks like you're stuck with me." Tim said with a smile.

"Well aren't I just the luckiest girl in the world." I said in a really mock southern accent. Class went by pretty quickly, as did the rest of my day, which meant that it was time for cheerleading practice. I met up with Lyla in the locker room and she handed me my uniform, which I reluctantly changed into. I was still in pretty good shape from my cheerleading days in Houston, but I still felt very self conscious in the short skirt and belly top. I walked out onto the field with the rest of the girls and the team was already on the field doing warm ups. I saw Tim and he nodded so I sent a smile and a wave in his direction, effectively earning a dirty glare from Lyla. I scanned the players all with their backs towards me except Tim. He seemed to understand what I was doing and smiled before turning around to reveal the #33 on his back.

"Go figure." I said aloud.

"What's wrong?" Lyla asked

"Oh nothing I just realized who my player was." I said smiling. She looked at me very confused. "Tim, Tim Riggins is my player."

"Wait what? You're Tim's new cheerleader. What the hell I know I asked to be traded and all but I didn't think they would replace me with my cousin." She said sounding very angry and jealous. "Don't worry I will handle this, you won't have to deal with Tim for long."

"Lyla don't worry about it. I actually don't mind Tim, he's a nice enough guy and currently the only friend I have in town apart from you." I said before walking off and getting into formation. "Let's get practicing I'd hate for Monica to beat me with her pom poms."

Practice was long and tiring and because I laughed at almost every move that Monica had put in the routine I was now doing 20 laps around the field. Sometimes I just couldn't contain myself the things she was suggesting had no gymnastic value, and were more for the benefit of the Football Team's view of our asses. Every time I began to laugh hysterically I saw Tim looking over and smiling. So here I was on my 10th lap and still it felt like I was walking.

"Hey Scott, how's Monica Stewart boot-camp?" I heard Tim ask as he ran up beside me.

"It is what it is, I really thought she would ask me to do more laps, this is pathetic I am not even breaking a sweat." I said with a laugh.

"How many more do you have?" Tim asked

"10, I'll probably just run home after that." I said speeding up just to see if he could keep up. "So how was practice? Clearly not tough enough for you guess I'll have to mention that to coach Taylor."

"Well just thought I'd come over here and spring you. Monica left early due to her anorexia kicking in." Tim said causing me to laugh.

"Thanks, I'd love to be sprung, what did you have in mind?" I asked, finally slowing down to a walk.

"Well we could go grab dinner at the Alamo? Go steal old ladies purses, steal candy from small children?" Tim said sarcastically.

"Sounds like a plan, meet me outside the girls locker room. I need to change and you need a shower Riggins." I said before running off to the locker room. "Stop checking out my ass Riggins!" I heard him Laugh and ran right into Lyla as I ran into the locker room.

"Hey Chloe are you almost ready to go home?" Lyla asked, as she pulled on her jacket.

"Actually I am going to go grab dinner at the Alamo with Tim. So I will see you at home." I said throwing on my t-shirt and heading out to meet Tim. Dinner seemed to go really well, people were staring at us, and I felt like Tim really cared about what I had to say, it seemed like he was almost a different person. I liked having Tim around, I had been so worried that I would not have any friends and now I had Tim. We would talk about anything really, have moments of random commentary of the people in Dillon and I even agreed to HELP him study. He tried really hard to con me into just doing his homework but I dragged him to the library and made him open a book. Maybe there was more to Tim Riggins then everybody thought.
