Hey! Sorry I didn't upload when I said I would, but I have been really busy! This chapter is a bit longer than the others, I hope you like it :)
"Lizzie, Lizzie, LIZZIE" Emma was walking around the house looking for the curly blond "WHAT?" "God, cranky much?" Emma said looking at the irritated blond who was trying to pick out something to wear. "Sorry, you know how I get when I don't get enough sleep" Lizzie said apologetic "don't blame me" Emma said "yeah, it's not your fault at all. I was keeping myself up all night" Lizzie said with a smirk.
"Are you ready?" they heard Peyton call from downstairs. "We'll be right there" Emma called as she turned to Lizzie "how do I look? public school enough?" Lizzie gave her a glare "you know they aren't poor" "so you don't like it?" Emma said as she ran into the closet to change.
She came out 2 minutes later to see Lizzie waiting with her bag in one hand and Emma's in the other. "God, you look like your mother" Emma said, but put her hand to her mouth as quick as it came out. It was like a silent packed between the two of them, never to say that sentence. "Not as much as you look like yours" Lizzie shot back.
As they walked down the stairs all four parents were pacing the room. Lizzie rolled her eyes "it's just like kindergarten, all over again" Emma let out giggle as they approached their stunned parents.
Lucas eyed his daughter she looked so much like her mother did in high school in her short jeans skirt and band t-shirt. Emma looked just as much like her mother, if not more, if that was possible. Brooke was about to pull out a camera when the girls bolted, Lucas laughed "Tree Hill hasn't seen this much trouble in 20 years" Both Peyton and Brooke punched him in the arm "AU, that hurt" Julian was laughing as he watched the whole scene play out. The silence fell over the room as all four of them sat down on the couch.
"So how long do you think they'll stay out of trouble?" Lucas said putting his feet on the table "I say the principle will have called by the end of the day" Julian said putting his arm around his wife "not even Brooke got into trouble the first day" "hey, I wasn't that bad" Brooke replied to Peyton who pulled her eyes from the ceiling "freshman year, you were" Brooke rolled her eyes "the end of the week" everybody was looking at her by now "that's my bet" Peyton's eyes wandered back to the ceiling "two weeks" Brooke let out a giggle "the pessimist is suddenly the optimist" They all stayed on the couch laughing and reminiscing till noon.
They were standing outside the school watching everybody that passed them. They were standing there in complete silence, until Amanda came up unusually cheerful "isn't this great?" she said in a very high pinched voice. None of them responded but joined her as they entered the school.
They were walking down hall when somebody bumped into Lizzie and she lost her purse to the ground "WATCH IT" like her day wasn't bad enough "Sorry the guy said as he handed her the bag" Lizzie didn't even look at him she just rolled her eyes and said "whatever".
As they kept walking Emma took Amanda's arm "who was that?" Amanda smiled suddenly feeling some power, she knew who everybody was and they didn't "that is Christopher Shepherd, he's our age, he's captain of the ravens, most popular guy in school and so dreamy" she said with a dreamy look on her face "do all the basketball players look like that?" Emma asked "pretty much" Amanda responded, Emma grabbed Lizzie arm "we are so going to be cheerleader" Lizzie wasn't really paying attention to Emma's ramble but nodded in agreement.
"We better get to class" Amanda said pulling Lizzie's arm "we have history" she said as she pulled Lizzie the opposite way of where they were going. That's when Emma realized "WE HAVE DIFFERENT SCHEDULES?" "yeah" Amanda said secretly happy to get some one on one time with each of the girls "I think you have math or something" Emma rolled her eyes and hugged Lizzie goodbye as she started the search for her classroom.
Amanda was hoping to get some New York gossip from Lizzie in class, but Lizzie was unusually quiet. She just sat in the back of the classroom sketching. Amanda tried to get contact but it was impossible, Lizzie was in her very own little world.
As Emma entered the classroom she realized she was late "How nice of you to join us miss … ? "Baker" Emma responded annoyed by the teachers tone. "Ah, you're new" he said "I'm Mr. Adams. Please take a seat over there" "Whatever" Emma made her way to the back of the classroom. As she was about to sit down a girl turned to face her "nice shoes" Emma suddenly felt a smile coming "thanks, I'm Emma" "Jess" She said twirling her blond hair "so where are you from" "New York, just moved here two weeks ago" "I bet New York has the best parties" "they do" Emma said with pride "do you dance?" the question came out of nowhere and Emma didn't no what so say so she just nodded "ever been a cheerleader?" the blond asked, Emma was starting to catch on "no, but I would love to try" The bell rang and everybody got up from their seats "we have practice in the gym after school" Jess said as she left.
The day was already getting better for Emma. Lizzie on the other hand, was not so cheerful. Amanda was everywhere talking and asking questions, she was about to bite her head of when she saw Emma in the hall way.
"We are going to be cheerleaders" Emma said jumping up and down. Lizzie hadn't seen her so excited about anything in forever "practice after school in the gym" Emma was still jumping "I'm in" Lizzie said. Amanda was the one to kill the buzz "you do realize you can't just go to practice, you have to go to tryouts first?" Emma gave Amanda a you're-so-dumb look "well Jess said we could just show up" she said with a smile.
As they entered the cafeteria Lizzie looked around "we have to eat here" she said with a frown.
"There you are, I was looking for you" Emma saw Jess approach them "Hi Jess. This is Lizzie my very best friend in the whole world" Lizzie laughed as she shook Jess's hand "are you from New York to?" "yes I am" "We are going out for lunch, you two want to join us?" Jess said with a big white smile "love to" Emma said as she pulled Lizzie with her outside.
"So you don't drive?" Jess said laughing as they got out of the car and headed back to school "nope, nobody drives in New York" Emma said Lizzie agreeing "I guess we have to do something about that now" They all laughed "I guess we are going to be late" Emma said when she saw the empty hallway.
The rest of the day went by pretty slow, Emma and Lizzie were happy to realize they had their last class together. They were of course late for class as always and had to sit upfront "just perfect" Lizzie said annoyed, Emma was as unpleased as her and rolled her eyes. The teacher was in his mid forties, he looked like the kind of teacher that would give them too much homework and make them stay in class longer than necessary. He introduced himself as Mr. Jones and went on to talking about how pleased he was to have them as students and all that crap. Lizzie wasn't paying attention at all, but when Mr. Jones started introducing the curriculum "we will start by reading a novel by an earlier student here at Tree Hill High the unkindness of a raven" Lizzie gasped and Emma burst out in laughter. The entire classes attention was on them as well as the teachers. "Is there something you would like to share with the class" He asked Emma, she was laughing so hard she couldn't answer so he turned to the very unhappy blond who was cursing sitting to her left "great just fucking great" Lizzie could not be more miserable. Emma was starting to feel a bit sorry for Lizzie, but hey think of the wonderful paper she's going to write, the book was written of her father to her mother, this assignment had A written all over it, to Lizzie this was the most embarrassing thing ever, having your father write a love letter to your mother than publish it. The book was like a curse, it fallowed her everywhere.
The teacher ignored the two teenagers and started speaking again "does anybody know what the book is about?" he asked. Lizzie rolled her eyes "my parents" she said under her breath, the only person who heard it was Emma and she started laughing again. "OK you two, what is so funny about the book?" "nothing, nothing at all, trust me" Lizzie said very serious "than why is miss" he started realizing he didn't know the brunette of the blonds name "Baker" Emma said annoyed by the fact that nobody knew her. "and your name is" he said looking over at Lizzie "Lizzie" she said not wanting everybody to find out that her father had written the crappy novel "last name" the teacher said "Scott" she said quietly, maybe he wouldn't connect the dots, after all half of the people in Tree Hill were named Scott "Scott" he said a bit to loud for Lizzie's taste. "You know you look familiar" he said looking at Lizzie "she is the spitting image of her mother" Emma said a bit to loud, she sent a apologetic look over at Lizzie. "Who are your parents?" the teacher asked starting his investigation. Lizzie cursed and sighted "Lucas and Peyton" she said only using their first names knowing he would get it "Well holy macaroni, those two did end up together" the teacher said excited "yeah" Lizzie said "you know you really are the spitting image of your mother" Lizzie was cursing Emma, she was so mad "oh and this is Brooke Davis's daughter" Lizzie said pointing at Emma. It was Emma's turn to get angry and start cursing her best friend.
As the bell rang neither of the girl could get out of the classroom fast enough. They didn't speak until they were safe outside. Emma was the one to brake the silence "well we knew it was coming" "it didn't have to be the first day" Lizzie said as she was about to sit down, but Emma pulled her up when she realized "we have cheer practice" They had both totally forgotten about that.
"You came" it was Jess who said that as the girls entered the gym "sorry we're late" Emma said "big school" Jess laughed "don't worry about it".
The gym was huge, so bright and shiny. "look" Emma said pointing to some jerseys' that were hanging on the wall "great" Lizzie said rolling her eyes "he is everywhere" Emma laughed.
The news had spread fast and all the cheerleaders knew about the two them being the daughters of the hot shot designer Brooke Davis, the movie producer Julian Baker, the famous Tree Hill writer Lucas Scott and the founder and owner of Red Bedroom records. They were the most popular girls in school. The others were asking lots of questions and they were getting on Lizzie's last nerve "we are never taking anybody home" she whispered to Emma who laughed and nodded in agreement.
They all fell silent as the basketball players entered the gym "I was wondering were the boys were" Emma said and they all laughed, even Lizzie.
The girls didn't get much dancing done, they were to busy talking and checking out the boys.
When practice was over Lizzie was standing outside leaning against the wall. She was getting really annoyed at Emma who was keeping her waiting, she was about to turn around and go find her when she for the second time today was knocked down by some guy.
"We have got to stop meeting like this" he said, Lizzie was confused "you don't remember me do you?" Lizzie was trying to remember him but had to admit she couldn't and she shook her head "I'm Chris" he said "I knocked you down in the hallway earlier" Lizzie remembered "that was you, you must not be very rememberble" Lizzie said in a teasing tone, he rolled his eyes and gave her a cocky grin.
Emma walked up "your Chris right? I'm Emma" Chris laughed as he shook her hand "see, she remembers me" He said and gave Lizzie another one of those cocky grins "she has an eye for detail" Lizzie said as she took Emma's arm and walked away. "Nice meeting you" Chris called after them laughing "charming" he said to himself.
"What's the matter with you he was HOT?" Emma said "he's an ass" Lizzie replied "you don't know that" Emma said "Yeah I do, he is just like Sam" Lizzie said with hurt in her eyes, she hadn't talked about her ex-boyfriend in moths and she really thought she was over him, but saying his name made her realize she wasn't, at least not yet. Emma felt bad, so she avoided the subject "so Karen's?" she said, Lizzie shook her head "tequila" Emma laughed, but Lizzie was right tequila was the cure for anything and everything.
As they walking in the doors at home all four parents were pacing the room, Lucas was the one to break the silence "were have you been? You were suppose to be home hours ago" "Cheer practice" Lizzie said smiling at her father "REALLY" Brooke jumped at the two girls. Peyton laughed, the only thing that Brooke had ever been more excited about than cheerleading was when she found out she was pregnant.
FLASHBACK
Peyton and Lucas were sitting in the living room, Peyton was holding a blue stick in her hands and Lucas had the biggest smile on his face. They were having one of their famous moments, but were interrupted when Brooke came storming in "I'M PREGNANT" Lucas started laughing as Brooke pulled Peyton up from the couch and started jumping around. "ME TO" Peyton yelled back at Brooke who was chanting "I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant" which caused her to scream even louder and start a new chant "we're pregnant, we're pregnant" Lucas was laughing at the girls who were so excited, he wanted to join in but he knew that this a girl thing so he just sat on the couch waiting for them to wear out. When they finally did they fell down on the couch on each their side of him and the silence fell over the room. Well until Brooke started chanting again.
END FLASHBACK
That was how the girls friendship stared, Peyton and Brooke had been determined that they would be best friends so they did everything from taking mommy classes and baby shopping together. They even started a clothing line baby Brooke. And now they were all grown up, but still best friends.
Peyton snapped out of it as she was pulled into a girl group hug.
"Let's celebrate" Julian said but Emma shook her head "you go out, we're exhausted we are just going to celebrate in my room" Lizzie nodded in agreement. The parents looked disappointed, but the girls really didn't care. They made their way upstairs to the bottle of tequila they had hidden under the bed.
Hope you liked it :) R&R
