sorry for the long wait

Alex opened the door to her room and was surprised by her parents. Dan seemed sober, but angry, Deb wasn't any happier.

"Hey 'rents," Alex greeted.

"Don't 'hey 'rents' us!" Dan scolded. "We worked hard to put you in that school hood? I don't know why we went through so much trouble to put you in that school when we could have used it for Nathan's basketball career."

"Oh really?" Alex rebuttled. "Because I always thought it was so I wouldn't find out about Lucas, or mom cheating on you."

"Don't you dare talk back to your father!" Deb warned in tears. "What we did doesn't come close to you getting kicked out of school for being an alcoholic druggie that can't wear her clothes right. But wait you can't even keep them on how would you be able to wear them right?"

"My God! What kind of mother are you?! Wait don't answer that you're a fucking hypocritical mother!" Alex shouted.

"That's it young lady you're grounded for the next 2 months!" Dan punished.

"We can't ground during the week she has gymnastics." Deb reminded.

"Fine. You're grounded for the next 4 months of weekends!" Dan corrected.

"YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY! HAVE YOU GONE MAD!" Alex complained

"And you're still grounded," Deb replied. Deb and Dan got up to leave, leaving Alex in her room alone.

"Nathan heads up!" Tim shouted.

"What?" Nathan asked as he was hit with the ball. "What the fuck was that for?"

"I said heads up," Tim reminded.

"Whatever," Nathan replied.

The whole team was at the Rivercourt along with the cheerleaders. The team made it a tradition to go to the Rivercourt and have some fun the Friday before a big game.

"What's with you man?" Jake asked.

"Nothing really, just thinking," Nathan replied.

"About Haley?" Tim asked, while the rest of the team made an immature 'ooh'.

"Why do you always think I'm thinking of a chick?" Nathan asked.

"Because you always are," Tim replied.

"Not that it's any of your business, but I was thinking about a chick, I was thinking of my sister," Nathan informed.

"Ok, but you're wrong, you were thinking of a chick, a very, very very, hot chick.'

"What did you say?" Nathan was slowly walking up to his long-time best friend, eyes flaming.

"It was a joke man, chill," Tim defended.

"Well, I ain't laughing."

"Nathan chill, Alex can do better than that thing," Brooke reminded.

"Better than what thing?" Alex suddenly emerged from the street.

"What are you doing her? I figured you'd be grounded," Lucas asked.

"Well," Alex started to explain putting her hands into her back pockets, "I am. For the next 4 months of weekends. Mommy dearest couldn't exactly punish me when I'm at gymnastics all week. But what she doesn't know is that I have competitions on Saturday. So I'm not exactly being punished.

"You'll still have Sundays," Peyton pointed out.

"You'd think that wouldn't you? But, the parental units specifically said that I'm grounded for the next 4 months of weekends. Sunday is the first day of the week, therefore making it a weekstart."

"That's clever," Brooke complimented, "Can I borrow it?"

"Any time it's yours," Alex replied.

"Hey Peyton guess what?" Brooke asked.

"What? You're talking to me now?" Peyton asked.

"Yea, now guess what?" Brooke insisted.

"What?" Peyton replied.

"I finally found a Scott that ain't an ass," Brooke replied.

"Don't get too attached. The last thing me and Luke need is mini you for a sister," Nathan warned.

"Why would I want to be a rahrah?" Alex questioned.
