"Whoa! This house is huger on the inside!" She exclaimed. I just chuckled as I guided her around.
"Okay, so I really have to shower. So you can do what you want for some time. Jude and Lucas have already left for the game so we have the house to ourselves." I explained.
"By Lucas, do you mean Coach Scott?" She asked. A hint of confusion was clearly marked on her face.
"Yeah." Was all I remarked.
"Is he like your dad or something?" She asked curiously.
"No. Not my dad. My mom got married to him when Jude and I were still little. So technically my step-dad. But not my real father."
"So where is your real dad?" She asked.
"Its a really long story. You'll get bored..." I tried to wane her off the subject. Thankfully, she was quick to receive the message.
"Oh yeah." Was her short reply.
"Okay, so lets just head to my room while I take a quick shower." I suggested.
"So I see you found my old guitar." I remarked as I stepped out of the washroom.
"Yeah. It needed a little tuning, but still does its magic." She admired. "Your room is really beautiful. It looks so much different than a stereotypical room."
"Thanks. My mom and I designed the wallpaper ourselves actually. And we picked out the accessories together as well."
"Where is she?" She was filled with questions.
"Paris... Milan. Somewhere. She is really busy these days. With work and stuff." I said in a softer voice.
To tell you the truth, mom still tried to keep us under wraps. Not many people knew that my mom was Brooke Davis, the fashion mogul. Some connected the dots because of our last name, but Davis too was a very common name and the subject was dropped soon enough. Most people living in Tree Hill of course knew about us. But it was a small town and news was slow and boring. No stalking paparazzi bothered us here and thats why we continued living peacefully in the small town. Whenever we went to New York or any other city, mom couldn't leave the room without big sunglasses and an occasional hat. The flash lights and loud questions were endless and she hated it. Tori still did a fabulous job at hiding us.
However, although it was right and helped us in every way. I sort of didn't like it. I knew it wasn't that we weren't good enough and more to do with our dad. But still it hurt to lie about my mom and not say much.
The news didn't even know that my mom was married to Lucas. She still stuck as Davis and continued doing her things.
"Whoa. Thats really cool. I bet you get to travel with her as well. Must be amazing!"
"Yeah. Sometimes. Not much, because most of her trips are work related and she needs complete focus those times. But yeah, we do take a vacation every year for a couple of weeks. Its fun! So what about you Amy?" I asked.
"Well, my parents are boring people. Dad is a manager of a small company and mom stays at home. I have three really annoying brothers..." she listed off.
"Whoaaa! Three brothers! I get tired of having one Jude around. I couldn't possibly take three of them!" I exclaimed.
"You got that right sister!"
We hung out some more, played some games of fooseball and ate some ice cream.
"Hey, its time to go. Let me just get dressed then we can leave." I suggested.
So in I went and put on the black, white and blue Ravens' cheer uniform. Clipping the top half of my hair into a blue and white bow, I smoothed out the lower part for it to look neat. Painting the signature R on my cheek, I slipped into my shoes before heading out.
"Come on! Lets go!" I said, practically pushing Amy out of the door.
Once we got there, we had to part ways.
"Thanks for the ride Amy. I really appreciate it."
"You too Davis. Your actually not as cold- hearted as I thought you to be."
"Well, pre-judgement is a terrible thing. Especially when judgement is bad in itself. And secondly, I'm not cold hearted at all!" I exclaimed.
The match started soon enough. The boys were giving a tough battle to the Bear Creek Warriors. During half time, the Ravens were leading with a score of 17-13.
Our half time cheer routine went flawlessly.
The game ended with a fabulous dunk from Jude! The crowd cheered euphorically as the Ravens won the match and exceeded to the play offs. Jude also scored the maximum number of points and was immediately sought by some scouts.
After all the buzz ended, I waited for him outside the gym while he took a shower.
"Hey bro. Great game. You were awesome." I told him whole giving him a hug.
"Thanks sis. Means alot. I just wish mom was here to see me." He replied.
"Me too bubba. Me too." That was all I said before getting into the passenger seat of his car to head home.
