One Tree Hill: The New Generation

Scene I: Tree Hill High Auditorium

There's a group of girls standing in the gym in the early morning trying out for the cheerleading squad. Haley Scott is sitting on the bleachers with Brooke Davis; they are waiting for everyone to show.

Brooke: "This is going to be a rough morning."

Haley: "Why would you say that?"

Brooke: "Just remind me why I decided to take this job."

Haley: "Because no matter how hard you try, cheerleading will always be in your blood."

Brooke: "Ok. "

Brooke stands up and looks at the girls.

Brooke: "Now, good morning, girls. Let's get started. How many of you were on the squad last year?"

Six different girls raise their hands.

Brooke: "You might've thought you were safe. But you're not. Everyone will be trying out again and if you're not as perfect as I want, you won't be on the squad."

A young girl walks in; she has her medium length dark brown hair hanging past her shoulders and black sunglasses on.

Buphie: "I hope I didn't miss anything."

She says with a little attitude.

Brooke: "You did. Were you on the squad last year?"

Buphie: "No, I'm new to this school."

She says taking the sunglasses off and looking at Brooke, they both recognize each other but don't mention it in front of everyone else.

Brooke: "I don't like tardiness. If you make the squad and late again, you'll be kicked off. Understand?"

Buphie: "Whatever!"

Brooke: "Don't whatever me, I invented the whatever thing."

Haley: "Brooke. Just give up."

Buphie: "I invented the whatever thing."

She says quietly mocking Brooke to the person standing next to her.

Brooke: "Ok. You think you're good enough to be on this team. Show me."

Buphie: "Sure."

Buphie puts her purse and sunglasses on the ground and walks to a large spacious area to do her cheer. She starts doing flips and handstands and all kinds of twirls, really good and finishes off with a split. When she's done, she all the girls start clapping for her.

Brooke: "You're good. Just don't be late for practices."

Buphie: "Got it."

Buphie says grabbing up her stuff and walking by the bleachers and sitting down looking like a Queen Bee, putting her sunglasses on. Later after try outs, Buphie's walking to her car when a girl from the tryouts comes up to her.

Paige: "Hi, I'm Paige. You were awesome at tryouts. You're defiantly going to make it."

Buphie: "Thanks. You weren't so bad your self, Paige."

She says looking the girl over, she's wearing a black skirt with a black skull tank top on. Her shoulder length dirty blonde hair hanging past her shoulders. She's a pretty young girl.

Buphie: "How is this small town, anyway?"

Paige: "Not that bad, you just have to find the fun yourself sometimes. Where are you from?"

Buphie: "I was transferred from a boarding school in Cali."

Paige: "I've always wanted to go to California."

Buphie: "I was looking for some fun tonight. Would you know of any parties?"

Paige: "Actually, my boyfriend's throwing a party at his beach house. That should be fun."

Buphie: "You know, something Paige. If you can keep the fun coming, I can see us becoming really good friends."

Paige: "I think I've got the fun coming."

View on Brooke and Haley in the gym talking about the girls.

Haley: "Paige Swan was pretty good."

Brooke: "Yeah, I liked her too. She's a definite."

Haley: "What about Buphie Davis?"

Brooke: "She was good. But a total brat."

Haley: "I thought she reminded of someone that I went to school with."

Brooke: "Yeah, Rachel."

Haley: "No."

Brooke then realizes she trying to say that she reminded of her.

Brooke: "Me. I didn't act like that back then."

Haley: "Yeah, you did."

Brooke: "Whatever. I won't be compared to some little girl who acts like a spoiled brat who spent most of her life in California near all the preps."

Haley: "Ok. Reading too much."

Brooke: "Yeah. Reading."

Haley: "Ok. Yes or no."

Brooke: "Yes."

Haley: "How about Hunter Riley?"

Brooke: "No. I wanted to throw up on her."

They continue on with the list.

Paige and Buphie are at Paige's place, hanging out. Paige's parents died when she was younger and her older brother and his wife are taking care of her. They are in Paige's rock-n-rollish type of room. She has half the room painted black and the other half is half painted red, but not finished. Half her room is crowded, the unpainted half is almost empty except for paints and artsy stuff.

Buphie: "So this is your room."

She says admiring some of it.

Paige: "Yeah, i'm redecorating. Something more like me."

Buphie: "Its actually looking good. How are you going to finish it?"

Paige: "I'm going to draw me, my mom, my dad and my brother. And then just wing the rest of it."

Buphie: "I bet its going ot look nice. So when is your boyfriends party?"

Paige: "At 8. We still have time to get ready and hang out. Shut the door."

She tells Buphie who is standing near it. Buphie shuts the door, Paige walks by the window and grabs half a joint from an ashtray, she looks at Buphie.

Paige: "You smoke?"

Buphie: "Mostly at parties."

Paige: "What about before?"

Buphie: "It couldn't hurt."

She says as Paige lights it up and takes a hit, and then passes it to Buphie. After Buphie smokes a little without hesitations.

Buphie: "How did you get started smoking?"

Paige: "I just started smoking after my parents died. I just haven't stopped. It helps me forget and just have fun."

Paige and Bupbie sit on the bed together and are relaxed.

Paige: "Why do you only smoke at parties?"

Buphie: "Thats when my friends did it. I'm an occasional smoker."

Paige: "We might have to change that."

She says taking a long drag and inhaling it good. She passes it to Buphie and lets the smoke out of her mouth. They are bonding.

Brooke is at home, she walks in the house looks around, sees a note on the kitchen counter. It says: "Be Back Later." She gets mad but not too mad to go looking for her. She heads upstairs and hears Peyton reading Keiren a story in Keiren's bedroom.

Brooke: "Hey. She's sleeping here?"

Peyton: "Yeah. Me and Lucas are going out, we thought you might want to spend time with her."

Brooke: "I do. Someone left a note."

She says indicating what she saw.

Peyton: "Yeah, she's sleeping, so i'm going to get going with Lucas."

Peyton says getting out of the bed and standing by Brooke. They look at Keiren, a cute little two and a half year old, sleeping peacefully. They turn off the light and leaving on the night light. They walk down the hall to Brooke's room.

Peyton: "Teenagers. Can't live with them."

Brooke: "I know. Was I bitch in high school? Becuase I remember Rachel being the bitch."

She ask her best friend.

Peyton: "Ugh...Brooke. You both were bitches and so was I. What brought on this question?"

Brooke: "There was a girl who was trying out for the squad. Haley said she was reminded of me."

Peyton: "You've changed. I changed. For one, we're both mothers."

Brooke: "We are."

She says agreeing with her friend.

Peyton: "Have a good night, Brooke. And don't kill her, please."

Brooke: "I'll try not to."

View on the beach party, they're are people hanging all around the beach, talking with each other hanging out. Some guys and girls are making out, some girls are making out. Guys and guys. We see Jaeme Ambrose, a beautiful black haired girl with green eyes, she's sitting down on stairs leading up to a house. When a beautiful short haired blonde walks up and sits down next to her.

Ashtyn: "Hi. What are you doing?"

Jaeme: "Just sitting. Thinking, why in the hell did I come to this party?"

Ashtyn: "And whys that?"

Jaeme: "To celebrate being a junior tomorrow. But i'm not sure if I can do that. I don't know what the hell i'm going to do with my life."

Ashtyn: "What are your hobbies?"

Jaeme: "I like acting. I signed up for the drama club, for this school year."

Ashtyn: "Then act. If that makes you happy. Then stick to it."

Jaeme: "I think I will. You've helped me and I don't even know your name."

Ashtyn: "It's Ashtyn. What's yours?"

Jaeme: "Jaeme."

Asthyn: "Cute name for a cute girl."

Jaeme: "You're pretty cute yourself."

Ashtyn: "You know I have a car we can make out in."

Jaeme: "Sure."

Ashtyn and Jaeme get up and walk to Ashtyn's car. They pass up Patric Thomas, a cute almost Justin Timberlake look-a-like hanging out with his friends Turner Shaw and Sheen Donovan. They are all drinking beer by the keg.

Patric: "I can not wait for tomorrow."

Turner: "Your like the only person excited for the first day of school."

Sheen: "Thats because he gets paid for going."

Patric: "I get paid for doing what I love."

Turner: "Your retarted. Where's the party boy?"

Sheen: "There he is.."

Rex Hunter, a basketball player/ Paige Swan's boyfriend walks by his friends to get some beers. Paige and Buphie are walking behind them.

Rex: "Hey, guys. Can I get three?"

Sheen: "Sure."

He says making three beers. Patric looks at them.

Patric: "You know I shouldn't be condoning this kind of behavior."

Rex: "Yeah, but you are the party. Buphie, this is Patric, Sheen and Turner. Guys this is Buphie. She's new to Tree Hill."

Turner/Shaw: "Nice to meet you."

Patric: "Hello, beautiful. How old are you?"

Buphie: "Sixteen."

Patric: "I have to stop hanging out with high school students."

Rex: "Yeah, get some older friends."

He says grabbing the drinks from Sheen, and he hands them to the girls. The girls take a sip from their drinks.

Paige: "Hey, baby. We're going to mingle around, show Buphie off. Ok?"

She says looking at Rex, kissing his cheek and then walks off with Buphie. They begin to walk by a group of girls and begin to talk. A couple of hours and drinks later. Buphie walks into a house, a little tipsy. She begins to turn on the light, when she sees Brooke sitting on the couch, waiting up for her.

Buphie: "You know no one ever waited up for me. They were always busy with their lives."

Brooke: "Well, i'm different, Buph. I'm not your parent."

Buphie: "Well, your surely acting like one."

She says raising her voice a little. Brooke gets off the couch and walks by Buphie, who is now by the stairs. Brooke has her back to the door.

Brooke: "Keep it down, my neice is sleeping."

Buphie: "Oh, poor Brookie. Spoiling her little neice so much, she can't hear yelling."

She says yelling. Keiren doesn't wake up.

Brooke: "You're drunk."

Buphie: "Thank you captain obvious."

Brooke: "You have school tomorrow."

Buphie: "I drank all the time back in Cali. Went to school and was still able to pass my test."

Brooke: "Well this isn't Cali. This is Tree Hill, where we were raised."

Buphie: "No, where you were and dad didn't throw you off to one of their sisters when you were born. They just didn't want two daughters."

Brooke: "I'm not going to lie to you. That was mom and dad's choice to make, now i'm trying to be your big sister and give you a stable home here. I don't care if you don't like me, but i'm trying to be a sister. Not a mother, or atleast to you anyways."

She turns around and sees Sam trying to sneak into the house.

Brooke: "You are my daughter. You might be in community college and still live at home, but it still doesn't give you the right to leave a note and just leave."

Sam: "Actually, the note was Buphie's idea."

Buphie: "I'm just that smart. I like my neice."

Sam: "Hey. We're almost the same age. We're cousins."

Buphie: "Not technically."

Brooke: "Ok. Enough. Bed, now."

Both girls head upstairs.

Brooke: "Buphie."

Buphie stops walking and looks at her sister.

Brooke: "Pratice starts after school in the gym."

Buphie: "Davis blood with the reign the school again."

Brooke: "Exactly."

Buphie heads to the room that her and Sam share. Sam's sitting on her bed in the room.

Sam: "You and Brooke are nothing alike. You're cooler."

Buphie: "Thanks. That's because the bitch is back."

She says shutting the door.
