It was two weeks after the funeral. It's a Monday morning and Ellie is making breakfast and she and Sean are talking.
"Are you sure it isn't too early Sean?" Ellie asked.
"She has to go back to school someday. I talked to her yesterday and she even said she wanted to" Sean said in an annoyed tone.
"Why'd you say it like that?"
"Because we have gone over this plenty of times" Sean said.
"Fine. What are you doing today?"
"I was going to meet with the lawyer about a restraining order if she loses the trial" Sean said, referring to his little sister Linda Smith, who was pressing charges against her husband who beat her.
"I think she'll win. At least I really hope she does" Ellie said.
"Me too. Me too"
"Hey mom. Hey dad" Lindsay said as she walked into the kitchen with Stacy and Brandon
behind her.
"Can I go over to Nicole's after school?" Stacey asked.
"Are you going to be doing homework there?"
"Yeah. Well maybe for an hour. We probably won't have that much anyway"
"Why don't you do your homework here and then go over to Nicole's house" Sean suggested.
"No way. I am perfectly capable of doing homework with my friends"
"Watch that attitude and you won't be doing anything with any friends" Ellie said handing Lindsay, Brandon, and Stacey each a lunchbag.
"Did you make me a turkey sandwich?" Stacey asked.
"No I made you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and you are not going to complain about it" Ellie said giving her a warning look.
"I wanted turkey"
"Then you should have told me"
"Whatever"
"Stacey stop acting like that or you are going to be grounded! You're mother doesn't deserve to be spoken to so rudely"Sean scolded before walking out of the room to get ready for work.
"Where's Tucker?" Lindsay asked trying to change the subject.
"He's in his room with a bad cold"
"Oh. Right. I'm gonna leave for school now. Come on Stacey and Brandon" Lindsay said as they left for school.
"Hey Lindsay"Cassie said as she was getting stuff out of her locker.
"Hey Cassie" Lindsay said as they hugged.
"Have you heard what people have been saying?" Cassie asked concerned.
"Yes, they have been saying I am a murderer and I should be dead and you know what I don't care" Lindsay said as the two of them walked to their homeroom.
"That's admirable. If it makes you feel even better Brianne almost beat up Roxy White for talking crap about you"
"That does make me feel better" Lindsay said laughing as they took their seats in class.
It was a couple of hours later and Lindsay was eating her lunch with Andrew, Cassie, Brianne, and Mike. They were observing a group of people in the parking lot.
"I can't believe them. They're smoking on school property" Brianne commented.
"The guy with the curly blonde hair is in my biology class. I thought he seemed pretty nice" Lindsay said.
"He probably isn't" Andrew said.
"One of us should tell them to stop before they get in trouble" Cassie said.
"I will" Mike offered.
"No. I want to" Lindsay said getting up and walking over to them.
"Hey. You're Jeff right? I'm in your biology class" Lindsay said walking up to them.
"Yeah. You're cool. This is my girlfriend Jane. Our friends Kyle, his girlfriend Tanaya, Megan, Hank, Jill, her boyfriend Sam, Jason, Vicky, and Fred."
"Cool. Um my friends wanted me to come over here to tell you to stop smoking" Lindsay said regretting it.
"Are you kidding?" Vicky asked laughing.
"Oh no. I think she's serious" Tanaya said laughing also.
"Tell your little friends it's not their business what we do" Sam said giving Andrew, Cassie, and Brianne a rude look where they were sitting.
"You're right. I'm sorry I bothered you. It was stupid of me and my friends to think you wouldn't want to get in trouble" Lindsay said turning around.
"Wait!", Jill called after her, "You're that girl aren't you?"
"What are you talking about?" Lindsay asked.
"I think she means the girl who everyone is calling a murder" Tanaya said.
"Yeah, that would be me even though I'm not a murderer"
"We didn't say you were. We don't really believe all that gossip shit" Kyle explained.
"It was an accident. We were both drunk and going fast. We didn't see the tree coming" Lindsay explained.
"It's okay. You're friends are looking pretty mad though" Jill said laughing.
"I don't think they like you talking to us. No one does" Megan said.
"That's wrong. I think you're all pretty nice" Lindsay said.
"Hey, um the bell just rang so you and your goody-goody friends probably want to get to class. Here's my number if you ever want to have some fun" Hank said with a wink as he handed her a slip of paper.
"Thanks" she said as she walked over to where Cassie, Brianne, Andrew, and Mike were sitting.
"What did that guy give you?" Cassie asked suspiciously.
"Nothing" Lindsay said nervously.
"You're not thinking of cheating on me are you?" Andrew asked looking hurt.
"Are you kidding? I love you" Lindsay said kissing Andrew on the lips.
"I love you too"
"Aww. You are so sweet" Brianne cooed laughing.

The Vampire Illiana's review for chapter 5: Yeah I'm trying to focus as much as I can on both the parents and the kids but I think the kids are more fun lol. I'll put in more parents if you want
Pair of Monkey's review for chapter 7: Oh wow. I was really surprised by your review. I mean I apologize if it was hard for you to follow and also the point of this fanfic is to focus on the children of the original characters Not the original characters even though I try to put them in as much as I can.
