A/N: This story is dedicated to Lauren aka CSInutnut77 and Emily aka csiFREAK24!! They will be in many of my stories!!
Nathan Scott just got home from coaching the first boys basketball practice of the season at Tree Hill Jr. High with his brothers Lucas Scott they both coach it. He got today's mail and sat at the kitchen counter thing and started flipping through the mail but suddenly stopped when he saw a letter with 'TO THE PARENTS OF PAIGE SCOTT' from Tree Hill Jr. High. He immediately tore open the letter and got totally steamed at what he read. He slammed his hands down on the counter and sighed heavily. He got off the stool when he heard the front door open and close. He hoped it was Paige but it was his wife, Haley just coming home from work. She is a professional singer but right now she teaches 12th grade English at Tree Hill High.
Paige Laura Scott is one of their thirteen-year-old fraternal triplets. The other two are Lauren Elizabeth Scott and Emily Faye Scott.
"Hey Hun." Haley greeted as she gave him a quick kiss and walked into the kitchen and Nathan followed.
"Hey Hales." He sighed.
"What wrong?" She wondered walking over to her husband. He walked over to the counter, picked up the letter and handed it her.
"You're kidding me?" She said in disbelief after she read the letter.
"Nope. Paige has been skipping English everyday for a week." He grew angry at every word.
"Why didn't they tell you this face to face? I mean you work at the school." Haley questioned.
"I don't. Maybe the new principle doesn't know that I'm Emily, Lauren and Paige's father." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Well they should be home from their practices soon. We will talk to her then." Haley told Nathan as she kissed him gently on the lips then went to the laundry room.
Lauren plays softball as a pitcher. Emily is a cheerleader but isn't a preppy bitch. And Paige plays basketball.
Nathan was vacuuming the living room as he waited for the girls to get home. Their house is HUGE!!
Nathan just got done vacuuming and Haley just finished a load of laundry.
They were sitting in the kitchen when finally the three girls came home. The time was about 4:00p.m.
"Hi we're home!" They notified in unison.
"We're in here!" Nathan called back trying not to sound angry…yet.
"Hey!" They three girls greeted each in their uniform.
"Hey girls! How was first day of practice?" Haley started.
"Awesome!" They answered together.
"Paige sunk 10 free throws in a row!" Emily squealed.
"And Lauren struck out everyone on the team! Even the coach!" Paige explained high fiving her sisters.
"And Emily was the only one who landed her one handed cartwheel into the flip!" Lauren broadcasted.
"That's awesome!" Nathan and Haley both congratulated.
""But what's going on with school? Anything we should know about? Anything new?" Nathan questioned.
"No." Lauren and Emily answered together as Paige looked a little nervous.
"Paige? Anything new?" Haley repeated the question.
"Umm, not really. I don't know." She answered fidgeting. She is usually a really good liar when it comes to authority figures but she knew where they were getting at.
"How about English? What are you guys doing in there?" Nathan asked standing up, crossing his arms over his chest and looking directly at Paige who looked at her two sisters franticly.
"Um you know, this and that. Reading stuff." She answered shakily.
"What kind of stuff?" Haley asked, as she was getting angrier at every word Paige was saying, because she knew it was a total lie.
"Books." She smiled innocently as her older sisters by 2 and four minutes giggled.
"You know what? Cut the crap right now!" Nathan raised his voice, which made Paige, Lauren and Emily jump a little.
"Why have you been skipping English?" He asked trying to lower his voice for the moment.
"I don't know?" She answered softly looking away from the angry parents.
"I think you do." Haley spoke up loudly.
"So what if I do?" She snapped.
"Knock it off!" Nathan bellowed.
"Tell us right now why you've been skipping English." Haley demanded also trying to lower her voice.
"I've been seeing someone." She whispered in not a lot of detail.
"Do mean like a boyfriend because if you do I…" Nathan started but Paige interrupted.
"No, no, no dad, no." She said quickly.
"Then who have you been seeing?"
She took a deep breath. "Grandpa Dan."
"Grandpa Dan." Nathan laughed in anger.
"Did he come looking for you?" Haley asked.
"Well yeah. And he asked me to give this to you." She said softly and handed them a piece of paper.
"He's giving us the beach house?" Nathan asked confused.
"Yeah." Paige whispered as her sister looked at her.
"Why?" Lauren spoke up.
"He only has six months to live." She told them sadly.
"And you believe that?" Nathan asked angrily not so much at Paige right now but at his dad.
"Yes I do dad! He wouldn't lie about this!" Paige yelled.
"Hey don't yell at me young lady!" He bellowed.
"Dad he needs a heart transplant or yes he will die." Paige lowered her voice as Emily and Lauren put their hands and Paige's shoulder.
"Okay we'll get back to that." Haley announced. "But that's not an excuse to skip English."
"Yeah well I'll catch up." She said simply.
"That's not the point and you know it!" Nathan yelled.
"What ever. I'll go back to English tomorrow okay." She announced and her and her sisters were about to go up to their own rooms.
"Wait. We're not done here." Nathan notified.
The three girls just sighed.
"Did you two know about this?" Haley asked the other two girls.
"Umm, we-a" They tried lying but got the look form their parents.
"Yeah." They whispered.
"Wow. You know what? Lauren, Emily you are grounded for one week and Paige, you're grounded for two." Nathan announced calming down.
"Dad Lauren and Emily didn't do anything. I begged them not to tell you. Please don't ground them." Paige begged.
"Fine. You two aren't grounded. But Paige you still are starting now so go up to your room." Nathan told her.
"Fine." She whispered and was about to go up to her room when she heard her dad's voice.
"And I'm going to ask your coach not to put you in on the first basketball game." Nathan added which made Paige so mad.
"What!? Dad you can't be serious!" She yelled and jumped off the steps and ran to face him.
"Oh but I am." He told her straight-faced.
"But why dad?!" Paige yelled.
"Because you skipped English and you know how we feel about Dan, and yet you still went behind our backs and saw him."
"So what. He had something important to tell me." She told him kind of rudely. "And I said I'll go back to English."
"Yeah and I'll make sure you do." Nathan told her.
"What does that mean?" She squinted her eyes at him.
"It means everyday for a while I'm going to walk you to your English class." He smiled at her.
"Dad!" Was all she could yell.
"Okay Paige we're done discussing this right now. Go to your room and we'll call you when dinner's ready.
"Ahh!" She screamed and ran upstairs and everyone heard the door slam.
"Dad don't you think that was a little harsh?" Emily asked him.
"Yeah Dad I mean it's her first game and walking her to English?" Lauren agreed with her older sister by 2 minutes.
"Hey. I'm on a roll, do you want to be grounded?" He questioned them.
"No sir." They answered quickly.
