Chapter 3

"Haley?" She said knocking on her door. She opened it.

"Yea?"

"Can we leave already?" Jamie asked.

"Yea."

"I can take you guys." Nathan said.

"Cool." We got into the car and were on our way. " I can't wait to see him." She said as they turned into the driveway.

"Are you coming?" Haley asked Nathan.

"I guess so." He got off the car and they went up to the door. Haley knocked and told her to stand behind her so he would not see her. He opened the door.

"Hey guys, what brings you here?"

"Somebody wants to see you." She stepped out of the way. And Jamie gave him a small, quick wave.

"Jamie?" Lucas asked in disbelief that the beautiful girl standing in front of him was the girl he would look at as a little sister.

"Yep." She moved up to him and gave him the biggest hug.

"How have you been?" he asked as they walked into the house. Haley and Nathan walked in behind us and closed the door.

"Great."

"You look so different, what happened to your curly hair."

"It is gone forever."

"Good, I like your hair better this way."

"So is your mom around?"

"No she is at the café."

"Aw, but I want to see her."

"We can go to the café." Haley said.

"Great, let's walk."

"Ok, it's not too far." They left the house and Jamie walked farther back with Lucas and Haley and Nathan walked in the front.

"So how was boarding school?" he asked her.

"Fine, but they are really strict. I am so happy to be back. I start school tomorrow with you guys."

"Really? That's right you are fifteen now."

"Yep. So how has life been over here?"

"Fine. So are you ok? Are you going to ever do any of that stuff again?"

"No I will never do it again. Of course I will need your help if you ever see me going that way do something."

"What should I do?"

"I don't know slap me or something." He laughed. They were already on Main Street so their conversation ended there. They walked in and Karen was at the counter giving coffee to somebody.

"Mom, look who wanted to see you." She looked at Jamie and squinted.

"There is no way that is Jamie." She came up to her. "You look so different."

"I know everybody keeps on telling me." She gave her hug.

"Do you want anything?"

"No thanks I am good now."

"Hey guys." Somebody said from behind.

"Hey Peyton." Lucas said.

"Hey." Haley and Nathan said.

"I have never seen you before."

"Hi I am Jamie, Haley's sister."

"You have a sister?"

"Yes, I know I never mentioned her so it is kind of a shock to everybody but she is my sister."

"So are you going to go to our school?"

"Yea."

"Alright cool."

"Guys it's getting a little late and I really need to spend about another hour on the drums before I go to sleep." Jamie said.

"You play the drums?" Peyton asked.

"Yea, and she is awesome." Nathan said.

"Yea she is great." Lucas said. "Do you mind if I come over to hear you?"

"No not at all."

"Can I come too?" Peyton asked.

"Yea sure, everybody can come I don't mind."

"Well I have an idea." Karen said. "The café starts to get a little full around this time. Why don't you bring the drum set over and you can play and sing for everybody."

"You sing too?" Nathan asked.

"Yea. My sister is all about music." Haley said.

"Haley we can sing something together. I can bring my guitar and Danny can play it and then we can do that song that we used to sing when I was still here." Jamie said looking at Haley.

"I don't know I am kind of shy."

"Come on, please."

"Yea Haley come on." everybody else said.

"Ok."

"Ok we can use my truck to bring the set." Lucas said.

"And we can use my car for the guitar." Nathan added.

"Ok then I guess we will be back in about a half an hour."

"Ok see you guys." Karen said. They walked back to the house and Jamie went up to her room to get the stuff.

"Wow, your room looks a lot like mine." Peyton said as she came in.

"Yea it does actually." Haley said.

"Did you draw these?" Peyton asked.

"No that one I didn't, but I did these at boarding school in my free time." She took out a huge stack of papers.

"Wow you had a lot of free time." Nathan said.

"Well, I got in trouble a lot so what they would do is lock me in my room and only let me come out to eat and stuff. So while I was in there I would draw."

"They are nice." Peyton said.

"They are whatever."

"Do you mind if I post some of these on my website? I draw to and I have all my drawings and stuff in there."

"No that's cool." Nathan and Lucas took the drum set and guitar downstairs and called us when they were finished putting it in the car.

"Are you nervous?" Lucas asked as they pulled up in front of the café and saw that there were quite a few people there.

"Nope, I don't get nervous." We set everything up and I sat down and made sure that they had put everything back together correctly.

"Ladies and gentlemen we have a performer tonight, her name is Jamie and she is Haley's sister, she just got back here after being gone for two years. And playing the guitar is her friend Danny, so let's be a good audience and welcome Jamie and Danny." Karen stepped down and people applauded.
