Chapter 4

Lost in the airport and meeting the family…

Peyton, Haley, Lucas, Brooke, and Nathan now stood in the middle of the airport with their bags over their shoulders.

"Um…does anyone know how the hell to get out of here?" asked Peyton, confused of all the signs in the airport.

"I don't know…" replied Lucas with a bewildered look on his face.

"You guys, we are in a pretty advanced Spanish class.  So we should know how to get out of here," Haley responded.

"Then how come you haven't gotten us out of here?" asked Nathan annoyed.

"First of all, don't even get me started with you," Haley directly told him, mad.  "Anyways," she said as she looked away and looked at a sign, "lets go this way," she told the group.

Everyone soon began to follow her except for Brooke who stood without being able to carry all of her luggage.

"Brooke are you coming?" asked Haley.

"Yeah, but I can't carry all these bags by myself," she answered back.

"Now you shouldn't have brought so much clothes, huh?" asked Nathan.

"Fuck off Nathan," she answered back bitterly.

"Here I'll help you that," retorted Lucas as he grabbed two of her luggage's.

"Thank you," she responded sweetly. "I'll definitely be repaying you back later," she added seductively.

Lucas began to laugh as Haley led the group through the crowded airport. 

Haley looked around at the different atmosphere.  She observed the green signs directing the tourists and new arrivals to wherever they desired.  She looked around at the welcoming workers of the airport and walked over to a nearby desk.

'Escritorio de información' read a sign above the desk.

She walked over to the welcoming woman wearing a black suit with a nametag that read 'Alysia.'

"Hola Alysia," greeted Haley in Spanish, "me gustaría saber donde esta la entrada o salida del auropuerto."

I would wish to know where the entrance or exit of the airport

"Claro, la salida esta…" she directed Haley.

Haley stood motionless and with a confused face as she was being directed, not comprehending what the lady was saying.

"Muchas gracias," Haley said with an uncertain smile and began to walk off with a puzzled look.

"So how do we get out of this place?" asked Peyton.

"Um… wouldn't know what to tell ya," she answered defended.  "I caught little snippets, but she talked so fast that I got so confused."

"So we're lost?" asked Brooke.

"Technically?…pretty much."

"Pretty advanced huh?" Nathan retorted as he looked at Haley.

Haley was about to insult Nathan when she heard a voice.

"I can speak English too," said a voice behind them.

Haley turned around and noticed that it was Alysia who spoke.

"Oh…thank you!" Haley responded glad.

In 15 minutes, they all stood outside the airport with the sunrays hitting on them.

"This place is beautiful," said Haley as she looked at the tropical trees and the shinning sun.

"Hell yeah!" agreed Lucas as he looked outside.

Beep, Beep, Beep!

They all turned around and noticed four different people holding different signs.

"Guess that's us," Lucas told the group.

Lucas walked over to the man that held his name on the sign.  The man was dressed in a black suit and wore a hat.  He looked like a chauffeur and drove a black Lincoln.

"Hello, Mr. Scott," he greeted him with his accent.  "The family had a function to attend to so you would see them later on tonight," he informed him.  "My name is Juan," he directed to himself.

'Sweet,' Lucas thought to himself as he looked at his ride.

"Thanks Juan," he told him.

Haley walked over to the person that held her name on the sign and was greeted by a young looking girl.

"Hey!" greeted the girl.  "My name is Maria," she told her as she hugged and kissed her on the cheek.

Haley stood surprised for a moment after the sudden greeting, but then introduced herself after the shock.

"Hello, my name is Haley James, as you already know," Haley told Maria as she looked at her. 

Maria appeared to be 5'4 with beautiful, long brown hair and brown eyes.

"Well I'm Maria Lopez, daughter of the family that you are staying with.  My parents are at a function so you won't meet them till later," she continued. 

She moved out of the way and revealed a red, convertible Mitsubishi Spyder.

"Wow!" Haley exclaimed as she looked at the car.

"It's nothing, my dad gave it to me for my sixteenth birthday," she informed her.

"Awesome."

Nathan walked over to a teenage guy holding his name.

"Hello, my name is Pedro Ramirez," he introduced himself as he extended his hand.

"Nathan Scott," he greeted him as he shook his hand.

Pedro was a 5'11 Mexican guy with brown hair and really dark brown eyes.  He was wearing a pair of navy trousers and a tan shirt.  He was medium built also.

"Sorry I look a little scruffy.  I just came from work," he said referring to his outfit.

"It's all right, so where's the rest of the family?" he asked as he observed no one else accompanying him.

"My dad is still working, while my mom and sister are working in the family restaurant.  Nothing fancy, but my mom is an awesome cook.  Trust me, once you have some of her Mole with arroz rice…you'll never want to eat some of your American food ever again," he informed him with a laugh.

"So your parents work a lot?"

"Yeah, need to pay the bills," he replied.  "So you want to go see home sweet home?" he vocalized as he led him to an old pick up.  "That is how you say it right? 'Home sweet home?'"

"I guess…" he responded, as he stood amazed at the ancient car.

"I know the car isn't the best looking vehicle, but it's reliable and it takes me wherever I want to so…at least it's something."

"Whatever you say," answered Nathan as he got inside the truck.

'I wouldn't be surprised if the car stalled on us halfway outside of the airport,' Nathan told himself.

Nathan looked at the truck once again and then drifted his eyes toward Brooke.

Brooke stood in front of a girl with medium length hair and brown eyes.  She wasn't skinny, but she wasn't ugly either.

"Um…hey, I'm Brooke Davis," she greeted, a little uneasy.

"Hello, I'm Guadalupe, but just call me Lupe or Lupita," she introduced herself as she hugged and kissed Brooke on the cheek.

"Dandy," she replied as she wished Lupe would get off of her.  "So where's the limousine?" Brooke asked as she already saw who Lucas and Haley were staying with and expected someone like who they got.

"Ta da!" Lupe exclaimed as she revealed an old station wagon.  "I know it's probably not what you would've expected, but it fits the family."

Brooke stood motionless and speechless.

"Are you sure that I was assigned to stay with you?" she said, not understanding what was happening.

"You're Brooke Davis, correct?"

"Yes…" she replied perturbed.

"Yup, you're staying with me! Oh…we are going to have so much fun!" she squealed as she opened the passenger door.

"Oh…such a blast!" she sarcastically responded, with not trace of excitement in her voice.

Brooke got into the vehicle and noticed a picture of Jesus hanging off the rear view mirror.

"This is so not happening," she mumbled aloud before Lupe opened her door.

Peyton and Haley were laughing as they saw Brooke's reaction to who she was staying with.  Brooke looked at Peyton and Haley and replied by giving them a dangerous look.  Peyton and Haley laughed even harder as they saw her face.  They didn't notice the awkward stares they were being given by the people entering and leaving the airport.

"Mira esas Americanas, parece que estan endrogadas," one of the onlookers said.

Haley began to laugh even harder.  Peyton looked at her puzzled as to why she was laughing harder.

"It wasn't THAT funny.'

"You didn't hear those people?" Haley asked between laughs.

Peyton responded by giving her a bemused look.

"They said, 'Look at those American girls, they look like they are drugged up!'"

Peyton laughed at the new information given to her.

"Peyton Sawyer?" asked a girl with brown hair and light brown eyes.

"Yeah that's me," Peyton answered.

"Hello, I'm Rosa Cortez," she greeted her.  "You're staying with my family for the next two weeks," she continued as she kissed her on the cheek. "I'm sorry for being late."

"What the hell was that?" Peyton asked, referring to the kiss.

"Here in Mexico or any Spanish country, when we greet each other, we also kiss each other on the cheek," she informed her.

"Oh…so that's why Maria also did that to me," interrupted Haley as she now stood beside them.

"Maria? Maria Lopez?" Rosa asked.

"Yeah, I think so," she responded confused.  "Why?"

"Where is she?" Rosa asked excited.

"She's sitting in the car…" Haley answered as she pointed in the direction of the car.

Rosa left and walked over rapidly to Maria's car.  Maria finally noticed her and leapt out of her car when she saw her.  Haley and Peyton could hear the squealing from both of the girls as they hugged and kissed each other on the cheek.

"Woah…looks like they are old friends," stated Haley as she saw both of the girl's reaction to each other.

"Well I'll see you at school," Haley told Peyton as she began to walk away.  "Hold on…" she said as she turned around and walked back over to Peyton.  "Kiss each other goodbye," she continued as she kissed her on the cheek.  "Ciao Peyton!" she departed as she mocked Maria and Rosa.

"Adios Haley," responded Peyton as she laughed and waved goodbye.

Rosa walked back to Peyton and they now approached a red Volkswagen Jetta.

"Nice car," she told Rosa.

"Thanks it's a cute and comfortable car.  Plus, its pretty fast," she added as she opened the passenger door.

"Awesome," answered Peyton as she entered the car.

Maria turned on the car and some hyped up music filled the room.  It was some kind of Spanish music.

"It's OV 7, they are a popular band here in Mexico."

"Oh, I see…" she replied to as she heard the new music.

"So what do you think of the music?"

"Um I dunno. I tend to like a lot of the underground music, but this music is fine."

"Cool…so are you ready to see your new home for the next two weeks?"

"I guess so, let's go," she answered as they got out of the airport and got onto the road leading her to something unknown.
