Lydia Scott POV

One foot infront of the other, come on Lydia, one foot infront of the other. Up alittle further, come on its just one class. 30 people, you can do this, just one speech until next exam, its no big deal, you can do this!

As I walked up infront of my public speaking class for the first time this September, I could feel my stomach twisting and turning in knots. I could feel my face turning bright red and I could feel the small amount of barf making its way up my esophagus.

"Ms. Scott…are you okay?"

I heard my teacher asking as I blinked a few times and realized that I had been up infront of the class now for about two minutes without saying a word.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I ah, I thought, uhm there was something on the ah, back wall…"

I watched as the class giggled a bit, there was only two people in the class I knew that I was friends with but we never sat together at lunch or walked home together or any of that fun stuff but I knew them well enough that they weren't making fun of me right now.

"So what are you going to make your first speech on Ms. Scott?"

I swallowed back all my fear, closed my eyes and just like my dad and I practiced the night before I took a deep breath and I let it rip.

"I've decided to make a speech on how Tree Hill should have a football team"

Haley Scott POV

"Kris Keller?! Sawyer you lived in Los Angles California and you come here to make a career out of music, are you insane! Trust me you don't want to work with him, trust me of all people!"

I could feel that knot in my stomach while flash backs played in my head of me in high school as Kris Keller would try to swoon me and make me fall head over heels for him. As if.

"You did it aunt Haley so why shouldn't I be able to?! Trust me there isn't anyone half as good in LA as Kris Keller, he is real with his artist and he knows what he is doing, everyone else out in California are phonies, they have a stick up their ass and they wander around town like they belong in Beverly Hills 90210. That's not me, that's not who I am, I want something real that I can work with artist who want to be ambitious and make something better than utter bullshit about big booty hoes."

I laughed alittle and ran my fingers through my hair as I pictured Kris Keller pushing Sawyer against a soundboard and kissing her, I blinked my eyes and swallowed hard trying to make the image leave my mind. I sat down on my coach and continued to seriously think about what I was letting my niece get herself into. I could see Sawyers lingering eyes and I knew she was waiting for me to give her the final okay and I was going to, but under a few conditions.

" I'm okay with it.."

"YES! THANK YOU AUNT HALEY!"

She jumped on me and hugged me as I laughed a bit and tried not to let her kill me

"Not too fast, not too fast, there are a few conditions."

Davis Baker's POV

" You can't just say that Tree Hill doesn't need a football team, the township itself has say in that not you."

I felt heat rushing into my face, as I looked Principle Paller straight in the eyes. I could tell she was furious and I could feel her stare straight through my bones.

"Actually, for your information Mr. Davis, it was by popular vote that having a basketball team here at Tree Hill is more favorable than having a football team, it was voted out by your class peers. So they are the people you should be scolding, not me, infact I'm you principle, you shouldn't be scolding me at all, you have three Saturday detentions starting next weekend. I'll give you a break being that this weekend is the first basketball game of the season, but by next weekend I expect to see you in the cafeteria 7am sharp. You may escort yourself out now Mr. Davis"

I hated her, she was young to be a principle, maybe in her late twenties, early thirties, apparently she was smart beyond her years and excelled through college, I didn't care. I just wanted a football team and just because she has some weird obsession with the former basketball coach, she believes that there shouldn't be a football team. Well I'm sorry my entire family knew coach Whitty and no one has ever said that he never wanted a football team. It just was unfair and I wasn't going to take detention for trying to do something positive and no matter what she says I know the student population wants more options than basketball.

I bursted out of the doors back into the main office, all the secretaries looked at me frightened by all the noise, I scoffed at them and continued out into the hall to my next period. I couldn't understand why she was being that way or why she couldn't care like any other principle would care. She was selfish.

I decided to make a quick stop at my locker to drop off my books from the previous class considering this was the last period of the day and I didn't feel like carrying them all around. I was so distracted and so pissed off by what Ms. Paller had said that I didn't even hear the small footsteps behind me so when the soft small hands wrapped around my eyes I jumped back a bit knocking into a small little body, there's only one person that could be.

"Guess What!"

She said loud and clear extremely excited, I could tell she was jumping a bit and most likely had the biggest smile on her face.

"Hello Lydia"

She spun around and leaned against the locker next to me, she had that look on her face. That look.

"You should love me and be really excited for what you're about to hear."

I rolled my eyes, I have known Lydia my entire life so far, her parents went to high school with my mom. She was my bestfriend, but sometimes she could be a bit too much.

"What Lydia, I'm not in the mood today"

She put a hand on my face and again I rolled my eyes shutting my locker and turning around, she grabbed my arm and turned me back around toward her.

"What is wrong with you Davis, I have something really important to tell you and I'd love if you actually listened to me."

I could tell she was being serious so instead of being a total douche I stopped and looked at her, still annoyed and not really wanting to talk to her but I put on a nice face knowing she was a bit more important to me than to be that much of an ass.

I leaned back against my locker and the smile returned to her face and her excitement came back fast.

"Davis Baker, again you should love the fact that I'm in your life."

I slightly smiled always kind of admiring her cuteness, she was one of the girls that was so naturally beautifully but never could see it, but everyone else around her could.

"Spill Lydia"

"Okay so you know how in my public speaking class I told you that my teacher told us we could make our first speech on anything?"

I was trying to pay attention and concentrate but I felt like this was going in the direction of one of her shows or something stupid that she normally rambles on about.

"Yeah and?"

I asked patiently waiting for her to be done so I could go to my next class.

"Well! I realized something, I was watching this show on TV the other day, with this school who had a football team and I mean it looked amazing, like so much fun and I decided to look up colleges that had football teams and they are all amazing and beautiful and look like fun so I figured what if you were right. I mean when you started going on about it, I ignored you totally uninterested In it, considering I grew up around basketball but as I watch and learn more about it, I am starting to wonder what it would be like to go to a homecoming game and dance! What would it be like… and then I figured it will prepare us for college and if you did decide to play! And you did do really well you could get into a majorly amazing college and I mean what would it be like to go to school together!? And-"

I felt light headed and I know that Lyida cares about me is interested in sports but I was curious as to what she did and I was done with her rambling.

"Lydia, what did you do…?"

Her excited smile turned into a cynical smile as she tapped her foot and brought a finger up to her chin.

" I got the class to make a vote into creating a fundraiser for creating a football team, and my teacher was so impressed that she even said that when the vote and idea came up at the school board she would say yes. She said she always has wanted one but never thought about bringing it up"

I stood and looked at her speechless. My heart pounding and my breath hitched in my throat. Voted out by my class peers my ass, that little liar of a principle.

"I could almost kiss you right now Lydia"

Sawyer Scott

I sat in the waiting room of Kris Keller's recording studio….Kris Keller…..was behind a door in this building. He wasn't hundreds of miles away from me anymore, he was so close I could smell him. Well maybe not literally smell him but he was here and all I wanted to do was met him, shake his hand and let the games begin.

Haley was standing at the front desk rambling on with the secretary, who was smiling and laughing and seemed to be quit familiar with my aunt, which only made it easier for me to feel better that she would be able to pull strings for me and help me out.

I felt knots in my stomach still though and I felt so light headed that I knew if I didn't drink water I'd pass out, I watched as my aunt strode back over and sat down near me smiling.

"Just remember the rules"

She said with a smile on her face as she crossed her knees and smiled. I smiled completely enveloped in the next few minutes of my life and not really caring about any rules as long as I could talk to Kris.

" Yes I know, I will I promise"

Haley looked over at me with a very stern face but yet a gentle comforting smile. She was a weird person, even when she was upset or mad or trying to set ground rules she still seemed….happy. I wasn't use to it, when my mom or dad was mad, it was known and I knew the outcome as well.

" They went back to get him so he should be out any second now"

I felt my stomach drop like I was on a roller coaster and my throat got tight as I began to produce more saliva that almost made me feel sick. And just like that the door opened and my eyes were locked as he stood there, looking at me, waiting for me to move toward him and as Haley got up and hugged him and they said their hello's I almost couldn't breathe. I just sat there staring at him and I couldn't even think, or wonder what to do next. I could see him squinting at me through his glasses, it wasn't the look I wanted or was expecting. This look made my stomach cringe and my heart race, he whispered something in Haley's ear and then she followed him into his office. I looked over at the receptionist and she rolled her eyes at me laughing.

"Mr. Keller is a very busy man, I'm surprised if you'll even get a minute with him, even if your aunt is Haley James Scott."

Wonderful. So much for those pulled strings.

Quinn James Evans

When you have a baby sometimes you forget small things in life like brushing your teeth, or shaving your armpits. Sometimes having a baby can even complicate bigger things like well having sex. As I rolled over in my huge king sized bed and woke up next to my perfect husband and kissed his neck this morning he smiled wrapping his arms around me and looking over at the alarm clock.

"6:35am, that gives us about thirty minutes here…"

I kissed his lips completely being okay with having thirty minutes.

"That's plenty enough time"

I rolled ontop of him giggling a bit and kissing him…an just as things got good ofcourse, that one sound that makes it all stop.

"I got her, you had it yesterday morning."

Again my perfect husband could sometimes be a bit too perfect. But she was my daughter and she was perfect too. I guess I just had a perfect life and sometimes not a lot of people got that.

" No Clay its fine, I got it you just go make breakfast or something!"

He smiled and cozied himself back into bed

"Or go back to sleep. That's always an option too."

I mean he worked pretty hard so I guess sleep was always an option and 6:45 in the morning instead of making pancakes. It happens.

As the morning continued and I got the baby up, fed her and put on her favorite morning cartoons. My phone began to ring and it was the sound of a facetime, I realized there was only one person that could be.

" Clay! Clay get your but downstairs your sons calling!"

Clay and I barely ever got to talk to Logan, he went to college in New York for a while before going to graduate school out in Washington, that's where he was now. So when we did get the chance it was really important to try to get the downlow on every little detail of everything. I quickly opened the videochat and put the camera in Avery's little hands so both our faces could be in the video.

"Say Hi Avery, say Hello big brother!"

Logan's face lit up to the sight of his little sister. He was a really big part of her life, he flew out when she was born and we deemed him the godfather. He loved her to pieces and always sent her stuff.

"Can you say Lo Lo! " He said with a huge smile on his face, Avery smiled back at him giggling a bit. I laughed too repeating his words to her.

"Go on Avery say, Lo Lo to your big brother!"

She couldn't really talk yet, she was only a year and three months old. She babbled a lot but she was beginning to pick up on small words and we were trying to go with that.

"How's dad?"

Logan asked smiling now at me.

"He's good, actually hold on I don't know where he is! Clay! Seriously Clay get down here!"

I screamed up the stairs again trying to be as loud as I could in order for him to hurry up.

"Well he must be pretty darn busy not to come talk to his son after not seeing him for how long!"

I laughed smiling back at Logan, It was hard him not being here, I loved helping raise him and putting him through college and it was lonely when left I mean that's part of the reason Clay and I finally got pregnant again which was a tricky pregnancy but I missed Logan more than anything.

"Not to mention I have something really important to tell you guys!"

I squinted my eyes at him and that's when I felt kind of nervous. Finally Clay came down the stairs and ran over to the phone with me.

"Here, I'm here! I'm here! Hey buddy! How's Washington!" Clay said really excited and out of breathe and just as Logan was about to answer the front door opened, Clay and I looked at eachother and back at the phone which was now black. I picked up the baby and we slowly crept over to see a smiling face and a bunch of bags dropping on the floor. My eyes filled with tears a bit and Clay automatically started walking toward him.

"Never as good as South Carolina" Logan said stepping in and hugging his father.

"Its so good to have you home son."

I smiled as I watched the two embrace. My little family. Whole for the first time in a long time.
