"Hey Amy. It's Sophia. Do you remember me?" I asked her. I hadn't spoken to her in over a month. With a rollercoaster that involved fleeing, two foreign trips and a visit to the hospital, to say I have had no time is an understatement.

"Oh hey Sophia." She said sweetly, but that didn't stop me from hearing the disappointment in her eyes.

We both hoped to be friends. And now she must think that I am a horrible person who is a snotty cheerleader who just used her that day as I needed a Chauffeur!

"I know I haven't called. But I've had a lot going on and also I was abroad for a couple of days with family, so..." I put that out.

"No problem." She answered but it didn't convince me.

"Anyway, do you want to, maybe come over to my place? I was just going to head to the pool, thought we could hang out some." I invited.

"Sure, why not. I'll be there in ten." She answered before hanging up.

I put on a beach dress and walked out of my room.

"Hey Jude!" I called up to him. He was in the game room playing on the wii.

"What? I'm busy here!" He called back.

"You and Jamie want to join me for a swim?" I yelled again. I had entered the kitchen and started finding all the ingredients I needed. "I'm also making smoothies."

Yeah. I needed to do something to tell Amy a sorry. Smoothies would help, right?

"Okay. Call Jamie and Maddison. I'll come in fifteen." He answered.

I quickly got my phone out and rang my brother.

"Hey Star! How are you?" He greeted me cheerfully.

"Hey big brother. So, come over. Jude and I are heading over to chill and swim. I thought you could join us. Judie is incomplete without you. Get Maddison too! I am sure she would love to see the love you too share!" I joked.

"Oh yeah sure. Maddison is home with me anyway. She wanted to go out and do something-"

"And you were lazy. Yeah I know." I cut him in.

"Yeah, whatever. We'll just change and come over." He replied.

"Cool. Any chance you know where Jenny is?" I asked. I hadn't got much sister time with her yet.

"Yeah. She went over with mom, Aunt Brooke and Peyton. She is way too excited for this baby. So yeah, she actually agreed to go over a fest of cuteness and cuddles and raging hormones. Brrrhhh!" He shuddered.

"You make it sound so creepy." He said in a slow monotonous voice.

"That's because it is, Star. Anyway, Maddie is getting agitated. See you in a few." He said before hanging up.

Right around that time, the doorbell rang. Perfect. Pouring out the last smoothie, I ran to get the door.

"Hey Amy! It's so good to see you." I meant every word.

"Yeah, you too." She answered.

"So I made smoothies." I said with a funny smile as we walked to the kitchen.

"Thanks." She said as she grabbed a glass.

"Hey Star!" Jamie yelled from the back as he entered through the sliding doors.

"Hey big bro." I replied giving him a side hug.

"Umm... Sophia, who are these people?" She mumbled.

"Oh yeah! I invited them over to hang out with us. I hope you don't mind." I looked at her. Did I mess up again? I should have asked her before inviting everybody! I am so daft sometimes! Arrghh!

"I'm sorry. I should have asked." I mouthed.

"It's fine. She winked as she saw my expression.

"So well, this is Jamie, my brother. Also captain of the Tree Hill Ravens! And that is Maddison! She and Jimmy Jam here, are dating since like Kindergarten. They are so going to be the next Naley!" I blabbered on.

"Jimmy Jam! Star! Atleast not in front of new people!" James whined.

"Oh somebody is embarrassed!" I joked as I smacked his arm.

"Stop the violence girl!" He bantered.

"Anyway. Guys, this is Amy. And she is a really good friend of mine. She attend Tree Hill High with us. You might have seen her around." I spoke.

"Oh yeah. Aren't you the guitar girl?" Maddison asked.

Amy just blushed and nodded her head.

"Yep. She is awesome!" I chimed in.

"Hey guys!" Jude greeted as he got down the stairs.

"Hey bro!" Jamie gave him a high five.

"Maddie!" Jude greeted her as he gave her a side hug.

"It's good to see you too." She greeted.

And just after that, his eyes landed on Amy's.

"Who's this?" He asked. His voice suddenly going soft.

"That's Amy, Star's friend. She goes to THH with us." Jamie explained.

But wait a minute. Why did Jude's eyes get that puppy-dog kind of look? It was almost like the look he only saved for me!

Oh Holy Water of the Ganges! Did my brother like Amy!?
