The last bell of the day had rung sending the mass of students rushing to leave the school. It was a great feeling for the end of the week. Everyone anticipated the home bell, they practically longed for it. To some students it was their favourite part of the day. Knowing that school was over and no more teachers to see until the next class, was pure bliss.

Brooke sat with the girls and Lucas on the picnic bench outside of the school as they waited for Peyton and Jill to come out. They had gotten out early but couldn't say the same for their fellow friends who had to wait for the home bell before they could even think about leaving their seats. Some teachers were just too strict.

One by one the rest of the girls departed leaving Brooke and Lucas alone to wait for their company. Things weren't akward anymore. After Brooke had that talk with Jill she finally realized how important her friendship was with Peyton. She stopped avoiding them and finally opened up.

The two were talking and laughing on the bench when Brooke spotted an unknown girl on the school grounds.

"Oooh new girl, maybe to the school, great potential. I'll be back."

Patting Lucas she got up and walked over to the ravishing blonde trying to figure out where she was. She was quite the looker, and to Brooke that was an advantage. She loved recruiting new girls into her clique. It was the Brooke thing to do, and being beautiful was the bonus. That's what president's were for right? To be welcoming and inviting.

"Hey you new?" Brooke smiled.

The other girl payed no attention, completely disregarding Brooke's question as if she didn't even ask it.

"I see," she mouthed, not giving up. Brooke was always a go-getter, "did you just move here?"

The other girl gave her a death glare that completely took Brooke off guard.

"What part of me ignoring you don't you get? If I wanted to talk you then I would've answered you, seeing as I didn't you should've taken the hint and went back to where you came from."

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused."

"Don't talk to me like that," Brooke was getting furious.

"Well maybe if you shut up a long time ago we wouldn't be having this squabble."

-----------------

Back at the bench Lucas watched the two girls from afar, wondering who the other girl was but didn't pay much attention.

"Hey babe," Peyton appeared giving him a peck on the lips.

Jill was beside her but was too caught up rifling through her bag looking for her cell. She looked up for a second to say hi to Lucas.

"Where's Brooke?" Peyton looked around confused. She and the brunette planned on going to the movies.

Lucas pointed over to the parking lot.

"Over there."

The curly blonde looked over to find her best friend and the unknown blonde duking it out, screaming style.

"Who's the girl?"

Lucas shrugged not knowing who she was.

Jill was still looking through her bag when she noticed the two screaming voices, that of Brooke's and the other girl. It seemed oddly familiar. Boggled by the familiarity she looked up.

"Oh my God," she took her eyes away from her bag and quickly ran over to the parking lot, "Sheryl."

The other girl responded to the name, she began to squeal.

Brooke rolled her eyes.

"You know this monster?"

Jill was ecstatic. She couldn't believe who was standing in front of her. She didn't even realize Brooke said monster, she was so shocked.

"I can't believe it's you."

"Of course it's me. Unlike you I didn't all of a sudden move away and forget to call my best friend."

"Oh my God I'm so sorry. It was so overwhelming with the move and everything."

"It's okay just give me a hug and we'll call it even."

Jill laughed and bear hugged her bestfriend. It was so good to see her.

----------------

Nathan came out of the school noticing Jill in the parking lot.

"What's going on?"

"A nightmare," Brooke scoffed as she walked over to the rest of them, "I hate that girl."

"Who is she?" Peyton looked confused.

----------------

"Oh wow, come I want you to meet my friends."

Jill grabbed Sheryl's hand as she led her to the bench where everyone stood wondering who the other girl was.

"Guys I want you meet my bestfriend Sheryl. You know the one I've been rambling on about."

Brooke looked disgusted.

"This is your bestfriend?"

Jill nodded cheerfully, not paying attention to Brooke's vulgarity. However, Sheryl noticed letting Brooke know with her glare.

"Sheryl this is Peyton, Lucas, Brooke, and umm, "she looked at Nathan. It was kind of akward saying his name now that they weren't talking.

"You must be Nathan," Sheryl smiled, "Jill's talked a lot about you before she left, which might I add was the last time we talked," she looked at Jill, "all these months and no call, what is this?"

Jill gave her the puppy face look.

"I'm so sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you."

"I'm holding you to that promise, now show me your new house."

The girls squealed again, probably still shocked.

"It was nice meeting you guys," Sheryl smiled.

Jill said her good byes to the gang before her and Sheryl took off.

"This will be interesting," Peyton admonished as she pulled Lucas to leave with her.

Brooke stood with Nathan still eyeing the two girls leaving in Jill's jeep.

"Uggh her interesting, I highly doubt it," she scoffed flipping her hair behind her ear.
