Chapter One: New Kids On The Block
"Caralynn and Maya quite the yelling." Lucas yelled rushing around the kitchen just like any ordinary morning at the Scott house.
"Dad it's my shirt!" Cara complained.
"Maya give the shirt back and go find something in that messy closet of yours." Lucas said handing Jason a bowel of Lucky Charms.
"Maya and Jason Aunt Haley should be here soon." Lucas warned them as he ran around the kitchen even more. "Cara you have volleyball today right?"
"Yeah." Caralynn said in a depressed mood. Caralynn Lindsey Scott is an exact copy of her mom. Big hazel eyes, blonde wavy brown hair, and a smile that could melt anyone's heart, but instead of being a cheerleader- like Kristen she plays volleyball and loves it. "Sadly."
"Go get to school Cara." Lucas yelled.
"Aunt Haley's here. So we're off too." Maya said kissing her father's cheek before walking out the door.
"Jas stop throwing your cereal and go." Lucas laughed getting a high five from Jason and a kiss on his cheek by Maya. "Have Fun."
"Bye Daddy."
"By Maya." Lucas smiled. "How in the world did you handle this Lindsey?" Lucas said out loud to himself.

"Mr. Scott?" The voice over the phone said once Lucas answered it from his home office where he was trying to at least write part of his new story.
"This is he." Lucas said.
"This is Tree Hill High calling about your daughter Caralynn. It seems like she got in some trouble and we need you to come in." The secretary said.
"Sure I'll be right there." Lucas said shaking his head.
"Dad?" Cara questioned as her dad walked into the office at the high school.
"Caralynn what in the world did you do now?"
"Nothing." Cara said a little to fast for Lucas' liking.
"Mr. Scott, Caralynn please come on in." Principle Freedman said. "Do you want to tell your father what you've been doing?"
"Go straight a head and tell him. I don't care."
"Surely." The principle smiled. "It seems like Caralynn hasn't been attending mostly any of her classes for the past month, and she hasn't been attending volleyball practice."
"Cara!" Lucas yelled looking at her.
"Because of this she is failing most of her classes, but I have talked to the teachers and they said they would give Caralynn the work she has to make up for only half the credit."
"Whatever is going on with you Caralynn I want it to change now!"
"Hit me with the punishment." Cara smirked.
"Three days suspension. Starting Monday."
"Yes a five day weekend!" Cara cheered.
"Thanks for telling me, Mr. Freedman." Lucas said shaking his hand before walking out of the office pulling Cara with him. "What in the world is going on with you Cara?"
"Nothing Dad."
"Right. When we get home you are going to get your ass right into that room of yours.
"Nothing new with that." Cara said under her breath as she climbed out of her dad's car.
"One month grounding starting now." Lucas yelled after her.
"I hate you!" Cara yelled as she ran up the stairs as Lucas rolled his eyes.
XXXXXXX
"Here daddy." Jason said handing his dad a note that he got at school.
"Jason what did you do?"
"Nothing Daddy." Jason said a little to innocently for Lucas' liking.
"Biting? You bit someone Jason."
"Daddy Max was mean. He stole the ball away from me in recess." Jason pouted.
"What in the world am I going to with you three?"
"Make mommy come back." Jason sadly said.
"Buddy you know she can't."
"Daddy!" Maya yelled running down the stairs as Cara chased after her.
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"Girls stop it right now and sit your butts on that couch, now!" Lucas yelled.
"Dad I have to get to cheerleading, Aunt Haley's taking us. Your turn to pick us up." Maya said.
"You can wait two minutes. Things are going to change now." Lucas yelled. "No yelling, no hitting, biting or kicking. No cursing or skipping school because you don't want to go. Understand?" Lucas asked getting nods. "Maya go. Caralynn go to your room. Jason go find something to do."
"Daddy can I go play out side with Matt and Kyle?"
"Go but remember to stay on this street only."
"Got it!" Jason smiled running out the door.

"Max stop tormenting your sister." Brooke yelled walking down the stairs of the new little house in Tree Hill, the hometown for Brooke.
"Mom get the twerp away!" Shayne yelled running around the kitchen trying to get away from her six-year-old brother.
"Max Anthony Adams go play with one of your million's of toys you have."
"Mommy I don't have anyone to play with." Max sadly said. They just moved from New York City, at city that since Shayne was born she told her self she would leave sometime, to here Tree Hill. The kids pretty much are the new kids on the block.
"Go outside and see if those kids playing over there will let you play with them." Brooke said with a smile. She knew it would be hard for her kids to start from scratch but they need to get away from the city that never sleeps.
"I don't want to go alone."
"How about if I sit outside? I can get some work done on my computer."
"Okay." Max shyly said.
"Come on my crazy boy." Brooke laughed lifting Max into her arms. "Shayne why don't you come out with us?"
"Ew!" Shayne said.
"Go practice soccer. They probably have a good school team or some team you can join."
"I don't want to."
"Shay I know it's hard to move to a new place."
"Yet you had to move us many states away." Shayne said rolling her eyes at her mom.
"Shayne Cassidy Adams." Brooke said. "Drop the attitude right now or so help me god you will be grounded until the day you graduate high school."
"Mom come on you had to choose all the way down in the middle of know where for us to live." Shayne complained. "Why couldn't we move somewhere else in NYC?"
"Shayne I'm not having this conversation with you again. I made the choice of moving and we are sticking to that."
"But why so far?"
"Shay we had to get away from that life. You're fifteen and sneaking into clubs. Fifteen! I don't need my fifteen year old doing that."
"Everyone does mom."
"Exactly Shayne. I don't want my daughter doing that."
"Whatever." Shayne said grabbing Brooke's laptop and heading up the stairs to her room filled with boxes.
"Shayne loose the attitude right now." Brooke yelled after her daughter.
"Come on mommy can we play soccer?" Max asked.
"Go ask Shay if she would want to play. I know how much she loves soccer."
"She doesn't like me mommy." Max complained.
"Right now Shayne is mad at the world Max." Brooke smiled. "Go ask them down there if you can join in in their basketball game."
"But I don't know them."
"It will help you make friends. Okay?" Brooke smiled at her son. Max was never shy around anyone usually, but in a new surroundings he becomes quiet.
"Okay." Max said running down to where the five little kids his age where playing basketball.
