„What do you mean, you think? Did you take a test?" "No."

"It's positive."

"Trust me, it's yours."

"We'll figure it out together. Trust me." "Yeah, because that worked out so well."

Lucas Scott sat at his desk in his office and wrote an email when the door opened and a girl came in. She had curly blonde hair and emerald green eyes and he gave her a slight smile. "Come in, Penny."

She entered the room and sat down in front of him. "You wanted to talk to me?"

He kept his eyes locked on the screen. "Yes. Your mom and I decided to move away."

Penelope Scott's mouth fell open. "What?" she said hoarsely. "You can't be serious."

He still didn't look at her. "I am. Your mom's business is ready to be expanded and we decided to open another store in Tree Hill. That's in North Carolina."

"I know where it is."

This time Lucas looked up. His daughter's voice sounded ice-cold.

"What?"

"Mom told me you grew up there. Both of you. And I don't want to go there. I've got my friends here, I've got my school here, my life's here", she spat. "You move away, fine with me. But I'll stay."

Lucas sighed silently. Penelope was getting older and more unbearable every day. "You'll come with us. That's all I have to say to that matter."

With that, he turned his attention back to the screen, not noticing the sixteen year old girl storming out of the room in fury.

Lissa yelled out and threw her pompons in the air. When George scored yet another time and waved at her she smiled at him and winked.

Ravens won the game 71 – 44 and Lissa prepared herself for another 'after game party' when George came up to her and pressed his lips to her mouth. "You look cute", he said grinning and Lissa smiled back. "You too."

"Nah, I'm hot", he said and she rolled her eyes.

"Meet me at the car in ten minutes?" he asked and she nodded quickly.

As soon as he was round the corner Lissa sighed deeply. She wasn't in the mood for party. She wanted to go home and have a nice snack, maybe phoning James and inviting him over.

She changed into her usual clothes, left the changing room and found her mother waiting for her.

When Lissa saw her dark expression she swallowed hard. "What's wrong?"

Brooke Davis looked into her deep blue eyes and said: "I have to tell you something, Elizabeth."

"What? What happened?" Lissa took a few steps towards her mom and she held out her hand.

"Grandma Karen called me", Brooke said. "She told me your father's coming back to town."

Lissa didn't know what her mother expected her to do. She shrugged. "So?"

Lissa saw the relief on Brooke's face. "Nothing. I just thought you should know. Does it upset you?"

"No", Lissa replied. "It doesn't. In fact, I don't care a shit about it. About him."

Brooke smiled slightly. "I won't let him bother you, OK, sweetheart?"

Lissa looked grim. "You know what? Let him. Then I can finally tell him everything both of us wanted to say to him over the past seventeen years."

With that, she turned around and left the gym.

Brooke stared after her, sighing. It might not be hard on her daughter, Lucas Scott coming back to town.

It was, though, on her.

"This is it", Peyton Scott announced.

Penelope took her earphones off and turned her head. The house they would be living in for the next years was big and sweet and probably more than appropriate for them but she was still pissed off.

While her parents got out and lifted the suitcases into the house she stayed in the car and looked out. Oh how she missed the sun of California. Here it was cold and rainy and she didn't know what to wear on her first day of school. All her clothes were sleeveless since she'd never needed her things to keep her warm, but to look good.

And now she was supposed to exchange her miniskirt for a turtleneck? No way.

She got out of the car and looked around. The houses looked quite nice and it was surprisingly warm outside. Still it was not their beautiful house in Newport Beach and it was not the same warmth she used to feel back home.

While waiting for her parents to come out and tell her that this was all a mistake, she heard the barking of a dog and then a huge furry monster came storming towards her.

Screaming, she ran backwards but tripped and fell to the ground hard.

The next moment the whatever-it-was was on her and she had its tongue in her face.

"Get off her, Teddy", a voice called out. "Come here."

What obviously was a dog jumped off her instantly and backed off.

Penelope stood up and threw the girl in front of her a furious look.

"Can't you even keep your dog under control?" she spat.

The girl looked unimpressed. "Whatever, bitch."

She started moving passed Penelope, her dog following suit. Penelope stared after her in horror until she snapped: "Who do you call bitch here? I only see one and that's you."

She didn't even turn her head. She just kept going and Penelope had to admit that she probably looked cooler than Penelope herself did right now, her hair certainly looking extremely extrem and her face flushed red.

But then the girl bowed down and whispered something into the dog's ear and the dog promptly turned around and ran back towards Penelope.

"Call him back", she screamed, running backwards. "Now."

"Penny? What's wrong?" her mother shouted and left the house. When she saw her daughter being chased by the huge dog she yelled: "Get into the car!"

Penelope jumped into it and shut the door hastily. The dog jumped up and down in front of her, pressing its paws against the window.

She saw the girl approaching the dog and heard her calling: "Let's go, Ted."

Penelope threw her a fiery look which she acknowledged with a broad grin.

* * *

What a chicken, Lissa thought. Teddy trotted next to her and she was suddenly very happy about taking the dog-sitter job at her neighbor's.

She didn't really pity the girl who apparently just moved her. Tanned, wearing hot-pants and a tank-top, probably from California. Well, she better started learning how things were done in Tree Hill right now.

But she had to admit that the house was pretty cool. It was already big and the backyard was huge. She knew it; she saw it every day. She remembered feeling happy about the Millers, the last owners of the house, a sweet couple with two grown-up children, moving away last summer and hoping some new hot guy would live here. But obviously she was mistaken.

She was now about a hundred paces away from the car and still the field she saw next to her belonged to the house. She saw a man standing there, facing the river that crossed Tree Hill.

Then he turned around and she saw his face and she had to gasp. She would recognize that face everywhere. How often had her mother shown her the picture of the two of them and said bitterly: "Whenever you see him – turn around and go. And when he asks why, tell him you have inherited that from him."

But now Lissa wanted to see recognition in his face. She wanted him to see how disappointed her mother was in him and how it hurt Lissa to listen to her talking about how she thought he loved her but how he had left them to go away with her best friend Peyton.

But he didn't recognize her. He just looked away and Lissa moved on, with the dog and a grim smile on her face.

Right, that was the first chapter. I hope you guys liked it and review. Thanks. (:
