Description: To give you a little background Lilly and Jackson dated in high school and broke up after Lilly's senior year. Oliver has a 1 year old and a fiance, Megan, who was Lilly's college roommate. Jake and Miley were together through high school and are married with a 6 year old son. Lilly, Miley, and Oliver are 24 now since it has been 6 years since graduation. You'll figure out more as the story goes.

-----------------------------------

Lilly woke up at 5:30am. She ate some cereal and had some coffee. Then she got in the shower and got ready to go to work. It was September 3rd the first day of school and her first day as a teacher.

Soon it was 7am and Lilly was about to leave but she stopped to look in the mirror. She was 24 years old and had graduated from college the past spring. She was already starting her career. Still it felt like something was missing though. She grabbed her keys and went out to her car and drove over to the school.

Lilly got to the school and walked into her classroom. She had been there for the past two weeks getting things set up the way she wanted for her students. She looked around and made sure all the names were on their desks and she had her name on the board Miss Truscott.

There was a knock on her door and it opened. The principal walked in. "Oh hi, Mr. Garrett!" Lilly said.

"Hello, Ms. Truscott. I'm just going past all the rooms to be certain that everyone is ready for our first day."

"I'm ready, everything is set for the class."

"Well that's wonderful. I'll stop by later then to see how things are going. I better be on my way."

"Alright, see you later, Mr. Garrett."

"Oh one more thing, Lilly. I just got a message from the secretary and one of your students, Colin Ryan, will be picked up at 1:00."

"Ok, thanks!"

A few minutes later a bell rang and kids started filing in the room.

Once everyone was seated, Lilly stood up. "Hello class, my name is Miss Truscott, and I'm going to be your first grade teacher. I see all of you have found your seats, so why don't we go sit in the back of the room on our circle rug and we can get to know eachother."

The class got out of their chairs and went to sit down in their circle. They each went around and said something about themselves and Lilly told them a little about herself.

"Ok kids it's 10:30 so you have music class for an hour and then it's lunchtime. Then you will all come back here after lunch." The kids got up and were on their way out the door. "Oh and Colin, can you come here a minute?"

Colin walked over. "Yes Miss Trustscott?"

She almost corrected him but then brushed it off. "You know you're leaving at 1:00, right?"

"Yep, my uncle is coming to pick me up because I have to go to the dentist."

"Ok, hun, just come back in at 1 then instead of staying out for the whole recess."

"Ok can I go to music now?"

"Go ahead."

Lilly sat down in her desk and signed on her computer. She checked her messages and then started working on some weekly plans and assignments. Soon it was noon so she went down to the cafeteria and grabbed a bag lunch and brought it back to her classroom. She sat back down and pulled out her cell phone.

"Oliver should be on his lunch break now." She thought to herself entered in his number.

"Hello, this is Oliver, I'm not around right now so please don't give me detention. I've got soccer practice after school and my mom would kill me. Oh and leave a message." He said trying to immitate a voicemail.

"Ha ha funny. How's work going?"

"Oh not too bad. How's the first day at school?"

"Not bad. The food stinks but other than that."

"Sweet so Megan wanted me to ask you what time would be good for you to come by tonight for dinner.."

"Oh I totally forgot about dinner tonight. You guys don't have to do this. I feel like a charity case or something."

"Hey we've been treating you like a slave having you babysit every night so it's the least we can do. Since you won't accept money."

"Well I couldn't do that. You guys are my best friends." She looked at the clock. "But hey I better go I have to finish my lunch."

"Ok so when are you coming by?"

"I'll call when school's out."

"Ok, later."

"Later." Lilly hung up and finished her lunch.

There was a knock at the door. "Come in!" she yelled.

The door opened. "Oh hi, I'm here to pick up my nephew, Colin."

"He isn't in yet from recess, he should be in any minute, though." Lilly looked up. "Oh my god..."
