Brooke led Emily to the cafeteria. Once there Brooke and Emily sat next to Haley and Nathan at a table.

"Are you sure it's okay that I sit here" Emily whispered to Brooke.

Emily was extremely nervous she was sitting at a table with the most popular seniors in the school. First there was Brooke, the student body president and head cheerleader. Then, there was Haley James Scott, cheerleader, singer who went on tour, and wife of Nathan Scott. Lastly, there was Nathan Scott, star basketball player.

"Yes, calm down" Brooke whispered back to Emily.

"Hey Brooke, who is this?" Haley asked referring to Emily.

"This is my new friend, Emily" Brooke said proudly.

"Well hi Emily. I'm Haley and this is my husband Nathan." Haley said, extending her hand.

Emily shook Haley and Nathan's hands. She was so nervous her palms were sweaty. But, Haley and Nathan didn't seem to notice.

"Haley, can we talk?" Brooke asked.

"Sure. We'll be right back guys" Haley told Nathan and Emily, who nodded in response.

After Haley and Brooke were on the other side of the cafeteria Brooke started talking.

"Have you figured out whose side your own yet, Traitor Girl?" Brooke asked.

"Okay first of all, don't call me Traitor Girl. And secondly, I didn't know there were sides" Haley states, confused.

"Well there are. You can either be on team Peyton or team Brooke." Brooke says angrily.

"Don't you think that's a little harsh?" Haley asked.

"Oh you mean harsh like when they shoved their tongues down each other's throat." Brooke near growled.

"Brooke, that kiss was so long ago…" Haley was interrupted by Brooke.

"Again Haley, they kissed again" Brooke said "And they're sneaking around again too" she said pointing to Peyton and Lucas, who were sitting on a bench talking, completely oblivious to Brooke and Haley presences.

Haley stood there shocked. Brooke, pleased with Haley's reaction, said "Welcome to Team Brooke" and lead Haley back to their table.

Back at the table Emily and Nathan were laughing about something. Emily stopped when she noticed Haley, who looked a little pale. Then she grew confused when she saw Brooke, who looked pleased.

"Is everything okay" Nathan asked, confused as Emily.

"Peachy" Haley responded.

"What were you guys laughing about?" Brooke asked changing the subject.

"Oh, nothing" Nathan said smiling "I was just telling Emily here some things she should know, before willingly choosing to hang out with you two.

"Oh really" Brooke said raising an eye brow. "Like what?"

"Like…Haley's deathly afraid of clowns and that you never stop talking" Emily answered. She couldn't contain her laughter anymore and she and Nathan busted out laughing.

Haley gave Brooke a look. Nathan saw this look and yelled. "Run, Emily" But it was too late. Haley grabbed Nathan and put him in a head lock and Brooke grabbed Emily and began tickling her.

Later that day Peyton and Lucas met up in the hallway to start their plan. As they were waiting for the principal to walk by, Skillz walked up to them.

"Skillz what are you doing here?" Peyton asked "You're supposed to be in the principal's office getting…" Skillz cut Peyton off.

"This" he said handing Peyton stapled sheets of paper

She and Lucas looked at the papers and saw they were a photo copy of Emily's file.

"How'd you get this?" Lucas asked. Peyton was too busy looking at the file to ask.

"I've got connections" Skills said proudly. Lucas gave him a look and he eventually give in. "Okay, okay the fill in for the secretary was a girl from our class and she has a crush on me. But can you blame her?" Skills said popping his collar.

"Thank you so much Skillz. I owe you one." Peyton said hugging Skillz.

"Your welcome" Skillz responded after Peyton let go of him. He looked at the clock and said "Well I gotta go guys; I have a date with Bevin later"

"Okay, see you later man" Lucas said to his long time friend.

"Bye Skillz and thanks again" Peyton said. Skillz nodded and headed for the exit.

Lucas turned to Peyton "So, what are you going to do?"

Peyton was staring at a picture of Emily. It was the first time she ever saw her sister. She looked a lot like Peyton. They both had blonde hair, except Emily's hair went down to the middle of her back.

"Uh…sorry what did you say?" Peyton replied looking up at Lucas.

Lucas smiled and repeated the question. "What are you going to do?"

"You remember when I said it would be wrong to walk up to her in middle of the hallway and tell her I'm her long lost sister?" Peyton asked. Lucas nodded

"Well I think I'm going to revisit this idea." She said walking to the exit and out of school, deep in thought.

Lucas laughed and followed her.

The next day, Emily walked out the school to start her long walk home. She had, had another good day today. She sat with Brooke, Haley, and Nathan again at lunch. The only bad thing was Robin had her doing more homework. She seemed angrier today than usual, if that was possible. Emily looked up and saw someone walking straight towards her. She immediately noticed two things. This person was the second most popular girl in the school, Peyton Sawyer. She also noticed they seemed very nervous.

When Peyton reached Emily she stopped and said "Hi, I'm Peyton Sawyer. Are you Emily Richards?"

Emily nodded and Peyton continued. "I know this is going to sound weird but, can we talk...in private? Peyton said looking around at all the kids walking home.

Emily nodded once again, unsure of what else to do.

The two girls walked in silence, with Peyton occasionally looking at Emily to make sure she was still there. They stopped in front of Karen's Café. Once they were inside and seated, Peyton was the first one to speak.

"Have you been here before?" Peyton asked, trying to start a conversation.

Emily spoke for the first time and said "No, but I've heard it's a nice place."

"Hey Peyton" a kind voice said. Peyton looked up and saw it was Karen.

"Hey Karen...this is Emily. Emily this is Karen. She owns this restaurant" Peyton said introducing the two.

"Nice to meet you Emily" Karen said shaking Emily's hand. "Can I get you two anything?" Karen asked.

"A Coke please." Emily and Peyton said at the same time. They both looked at each other. Karen nodded and walked away to get their drinks.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Emily asked Peyton.

"Uhh…do you know your father?" Peyton asked.

Emily nodded, unsure of where this conversation was going.

"Well I was adopted and…I recently found out my birth father's name is Paul Richards"

Emily was shocked "That's my father's name too…wait you don't think…"

"I got this letter from by birth mother, Ellie Harp, a few days ago. Here read it." Peyton said handing the letter to Emily.

After she finished reading it she stood up. She was feeling kind of light headed as a result of her brain trying to process all this new information.

"You're my sister" Emily whispered. Before Peyton could respond Karen walked over with the drinks Emily and Peyton had ordered.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, noticing a pale Emily. Before anyone could say anything Peyton and Karen heard a THUD. They turned and saw Emily. She had fainted.
