Episode 15 Ch.2 Small Talk

Elizabeth walks over to where Noah is standing, "Hey."

"Hey," he walks over to the counter trying to ignore her without being rude.

"I've missed you the past couple of days. You've missed tutoring."

"Yeah I've been really busy," he said coldly.

"Oh," the conversation was going no where fast. "I think I'm getting stupid without you," she was trying to joke.

Noah didn't laugh, "Your not stupid Elizabeth."

"I was just kidding, but I really do need some help in math if your free," she was hoping to spend sometime with him.

"I'm not…" he said harshly. He got a coffee and paid, "I'll see you later." He walked out of the café. Elizabeth was hurt, but she knew it was her own fault.

Brooke is at her store when Deb walks in sneezing and holding Sophie in her carrier. She looks really sick. Brooke notices, "Deb are you okay?" She grabbed the carrier away from Deb.

"No, I took myself to the doctor, and I have bronchitis," Deb said weakly while she coughs.

"Oh my God," Brooke said. She was worried about Deb, but she wasn't too happy with the fact that Sophie was exposed to sickness.

"The doctor said I needed plenty of rest and fluids so I was hoping that you could keep Sophie for a few days," Deb asked Brooke.

"Of course, Sophie will be a big help to me in the store," Brooke said taking her daughter out of the carrier. "You go home and get some rest, and I'll check on you later."

"Thanks Brooke," Deb said as she left the store.

Brooke looked at Sophie, "We will have the best day want we little one."

Hunter and McKenzie are sitting on the couch working on their science project when Lily comes in the house without knocking. "Hunter where is Jamie?"

"In his room," hunter told her.

"Okay," Lily said as she walked up the stairs.

"She didn't knock," McKenzie noted.

"She's Lily she doesn't have to," Hunter said as he continued to read.

Lily walks into Jamie's bedroom, but is quiet because he is on the phone. "Ok thank you," Jamie hangs up. "Hey what are you doing here?"

"Oh you know I just wanted to see my best cuz," Lily laughed as she sat down on the bed.

"Then why are you here?" he laughed.

"I wondered that myself," Lily joked. "I have good news," she blurted out.

"What?"

"You know we both took the ACT right?"

"Yeah, we took it at the same time how could I forget?" Jamie laughed again.

"I made thirty-two what did you get?" she squealed.

"Man you really are an overachiever," Jamie voiced his opinion. "I only got a twenty-five, disappointing right?"

"No a twenty-five is awesome."

"But not as good as you," he told her.

"Oh well no one can be as good as me," Lily joked. She could tell Jamie was frowning. "I was kidding."

"I know, I've just been feeling like a failure lately," he said sadly.

"Is this about the competition? Jamie you were amazing," she told him.

"Just not good enough," Jamie added.

"I thought you were happy for Becky."

"I am, I'm so proud of her," he replied. "She's amazingly talented."

"I know there is a but in there somewhere….there is always a but," she rambled.

"But she's been spending so much time at the studio I've been missing her," he told her.

"Well my friend being famous takes a lot of work."

"How would you know that?"

"Haven't you heard I'm brilliant?" Lily laughed as she pointed to her ACT scores. "Don't worry about Becky forgetting about you because I can tell that she really cares about you."

"I'm not. I know that she cares about me, and tonight I'm going to show her how much I care about her." He smiled as he thought about Becky and her beauty.

Hunter and McKenzie were still sitting on the couch. "So we're almost finished," McKenzie broke the silence.

"Yeah," he was sadly disappointed. He wanted to spend as much time with McKenzie as he could.

"I'm really glad that we were partners," she told him.

"Yeah me too. I wouldn't want to be anyone else's partner," he added. They smiled and Hunter was about to say something when Deb came in the house sneezing.

She had interrupted the moment, and he couldn't bring himself to ask McKenzie out.

Summer walked into the café looking for her father. She walked into the back and saw him getting a pie out of the refrigerator. He looked really tired. "Dad, are you okay?" She asked him.

"Oh hey baby," he put the pie down and hugged his daughter. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you, and I was thinking that we should have dinner tonight."

"Really?"

"Yeah, we haven't spent that much time together since I got married, and I would love to eat with my father," she smiled.

Meanwhile Jeremy is across town at their apartment planning a very romantic dinner for himself and his wife.

Peyton is still in Charlie's bedroom putting up the wallpaper for him. Lucas snuck up behind her and started kissing her neck. Peyton giggled, "Oh Mister you better watch out I have a husband."

He turned her around and kissed her, "Too bad you're mine now." They kissed again. "I have wonderful news."

"Ooh yay I love wonderful news."

He kissed her again, "Well Lily got a thirty-two on her ACT."

"Oh my gosh Luke that is amazing," she was happy for Lily. "We needed some good news in this family."

"My mom and Keith would be so proud of her." Lucas was going to say something else, but he stopped when they heard screams coming from Savannah's room.

When they got to her room they saw Charlie on the floor crying, and Savannah sitting on her bed playing with her Barbie Doll.

"What happened?" he bent down next to Charlie. His lip was bleeding. "Oh Charlie."

Peyton walked over to the bed and took away Savannah's doll, "Why is Charlie's lip bleeding?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. I want my doll back."

Lucas picked Charlie up, "What happened Charlie?"

"Savannah pushed me off the bed," he cried.

"Is that true Savannah Brooke?" Peyton questioned her daughter.

"No, he just fell."

"She pushed me daddy," Charlie cried.

"I might have pushed him," Savannah admitted because her mom was staring at her coldly.

"I can't believe you would do something like that." Peyton fussed at her.

"Can I have my dolly back?"

"No ma'am you cannot. You are going to sit in your room and think about what you did," Peyton told her calmly. "You're in time out."

Savannah began to pout. Lucas was still holding Charlie, "Come on little man we'll go clean your face."

Lucas and Charlie left the room, and Peyton looked at her daughter, "Now young lady you sit in here and think about what you did, and I'll be back to talk about it."
