Disclaimer: I would love to say that I own Nathan, however I don't. I would love to own Keith, just because I absolutely love him, but I don't. I would love to say that I'm exactly like Brooke minus that entire whole entire slut thing, but I'm not. I utterly wish that they'd boot Haley off the show, but I'm pretty sure they won't.

In a nutshell, what I'm trying to say is; I got nothing.

Please do not sue. I'm not in the mood for a court hearing.

Summary: Everyone knew that Brooke Davis was the town slut; it was only fate that her daughter be the exact same way.

Tangled Emotions Of A Teenage Ridley Davis.

Chapter 2: Were You Ever Going To Tell Me?

Danny and I went to his family's beach house right after we skipped. It was beautiful here. You could see the ocean and how it stretched for what seemed to be forever. Since it was winter it was tad bit cold but nothing serious. He went into the house while I stayed on the sand. A few minutes later he came out with a blanket and food. He looked like he was struggling carrying all of the stuff so I went and took some things from him. "You could have asked me to help you, you know." I told him.

"And risk damaging my ego? No thanks, I'll pass."

"You're ego? Oh right the one the size of Canada."

He put his hand to his chest. "That hurt. That was like the biggest blow I've ever gotten."

I shrugged. "You brought it on yourself."

"Maybe I did."

We talked a lot after that. We talked about the classes we were taking, what we were doing over Christmas break, our favorite movies, music, colors, we talked about the future and what we wanted to do, we talked about everything you could talk about. We laughed and sometimes talked over each other; he reached over and started to tickle me while I shrieked for him to stop. Before we knew it, the hours flew by and the food was gone. We laid down and watched the clouds go by.

"That one looks like a dog." He pointed to one cloud.

"Which one?" I asked.

"That one." He pointed to one on the far right. "See? There's its head and the body and his four stubby legs and there's his tail."

"Why does it have to be a boy?"

"What?" He looked at me like I grew a second head. "What do you mean, 'why does it have to be a boy?'"

"It's exactly what I meant. Why does it have to be a boy? Why can't it be a female dog?"

"You mean like a bitch." He said laughing.

I punched him in the arm. "Danny stop being an idiot." I ordered him.

"Fine okay whatever." He relented. "See? There's its head and the body and her four stubby legs and there's her tail." He looked at me with his hazel eyes. They were so different from Luke's baby blue ones. These were playful. Luke's were serious. "Happy now?"

"Why does she have stubby legs? Why can't she have sexy legs?"

"She's a dog!"

"No, she's a cloud dog, but why does she have stubby legs?"

"Because you have stubby legs Ridley."

I gasped and looked at my legs. "Do I really have stubby legs?"

Danny laughed. I liked his laugh, it was warm and deep. "No you don't have stubby legs. I was joking. You Ridley Davis have nice sexy legs."

"You think so?" I asked batting my eyes.

"I know so."

I sighed and turned my head to look at Danny. I'll admit he was great. He was a great guy and a great athlete too. Not to mention he was great in bed. But that's just my personal opinion.

"Ridley?" He asked.

"Yeah Danny."

"Were you ever going to tell me that you liked my cousin?"

I sat up. "He's you half cousin Danny."

"My half cousin." He corrected himself quietly. "Were you ever going to tell me?" I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off. "Never mind. I don't want to know. Are you going to the Winter Formal?"

Ah yes. The Winter Formal. Every year we have a Winter Formal and a theme to go with it. Last year we had 80's which wasso cliché... to say the least. This year it's supposed to be classy and elegant.

If you hadn't of guessed Beth's the head of the dance committee.

"Yes, I am going." I answered. "I'm thinking of going stag."

He nodded and looked at his watch. "I should get you home." He said.

I nodded. "Could you take me to my mom's restaurant."

He nodded. We got up and he took the stuff inside while I waited next to the car. He unlocked it and we got inside. The ride back to town was quiet. Neither of us said a word. We just let the music do all the talking. Or singing if you wanted to get literal. He came up to my mom's restaurant and I got out. His question popped back in my head. Were you ever going to tell me that you liked my cousin? I held the car door open and put my head in. "Remember the question you asked me at the beach? About Luke and if I was ever going to tell you that I liked him?"

He nodded. "Yeah I remember. I'm the one that asked it Ridley."

"Danny, I don't think that I was ever going to tell you."

He gave me a sad smile. "Somehow I knew that was going to be the answer."

I closed the door and watched him drive off.

I walked into my mom's office and sat in her extra chair. "You were going to tell me that you skipped today, right?"

"Yes mom, I was going to tell you." I answered.

"And you were going to tell me that you skipped with Danny Scott right."

I stayed silent. Was I going to tell her? No I didn't think so.

She sighed and looked at me. "So which one do you like better? Him or his cousin?"

"I don't know mom."

And I honestly didn't know.

OkayChapter fourdone. Do you know how many times I've had to re-do this chapter because my computer decided to rebel against me? So many times that I'm about to scream. So I think there's going to be at least three or four more chapters left until its done. I don't know I'm going to see where this is going.

Be ready for a semi surprise. Luke is going to do something. At least I hope he will if I can fit it in.

Onto my wonderful reviewers!

Jeytonlover: A love triangle? Maybe so. But I'm warning you right now, this story may not end the way you want it to. So please if it doesn't end the way you want it to don't kill me! Hehehe. How did you like the skipping part? I am so happy that this is one of your favorites. I just hope that it stays this way!

Brucas4ever: I really liked how Ridley stood up for herself too. Go Ridley! I got the name from Sophia's character off of Nip/Tuck when she was on it. Did you hear what happened though? Chad and Sophia are getting a divorce! I nearly cried when I heard! Hope you liked the update!

HelenItsme: Me too. I like Danny so much more. Ridley is just cool. She is totally the mini version of Brooke.

OthandScottLuver: Thank you. Luke needed someone to yell at him. He was getting too cocky.

OTHLover04: I'm glad that you liked it.

Crazy: I am so glad that you gave this story a try. I'm hoping that it all goes well.

CeCe: After begging you and begging you to read my stories you finally read one. Just one? Why couldn't you read all of it? I'm very mad at you, you know. No I'm not. I'm just joking. I love you. Would you like to know why? Because you're my sister and its part of my How to be the ideal older sister for dummies manual. Your life is more confusing than mine and you're younger than me. That has to be against the sisterly law or something. Love you lots too!

Anyways thank you guys a lot! If I forgot anyone feel free to bash me!
