Jamie opened her eyes and for a second she was confused. She sat up and looked at the plain white walls and remembered that she was back in Tree Hill. She smiled at herself and laid back. There was a knock on the door and Peyton walked in.

"Hey Jamie, you up?"

"Yup."

"Great, we're leaving in about twenty minutes so I hope that's enough time to get ready."

"Yea, I'll be down soon."

"Ok." She closed the door and Jamie got ready. She put on a fit black long sleeve shirt, jeans and converse. She grabbed her purse and walked downstairs where Peyton was waiting.

"Ready?" Peyton asked.

"Yea." they walked out to the car and on the way to school they had a meaningful conversation on what Jamie had done and why she was at boarding school.

"You little badass, I can't believe you're the one that did that," Peyton said as she parked the car. Jamie laughed and got out of the car. She looked down the row of cars and saw Haley getting out of the passenger side of a black mustang.

"Oh look there's my sister, let go say hi," Haley said.

"I don't think she wants to talk to me, she thinks I'm an asshole remember?"

"She does not think you're an asshole, come on." They walked over. "Hey guys," Haley said.

"Oh, hey Haley, hi asshole," Jamie said.

"What did I tell you?" Nathan asked Haley. "Listen Jamie I know that the things that I have done in the past may make it seem like I'm an asshole but I have changed, just like you have and I'd like it if you gave me a chance."

"Like I have? Are you comparing yourself to me?"

"No, I'm just pointing out that people change."

"Fine, I would have rather skipped that gay speech but I guess I can let you show me that you're not an ass."

"Thank you."

"But until I know for a fact that you changed I won't stop calling you names, so if you hear somebody say asshole, dick, idiot or fuckface, just know I'm calling you."

"Jamie…" Haley started.

"I'm just kidding Haley." Lucas pulled into the parking lot and parked next to Peyton.

"What's up guys?" he asked with his khaki backpack slung over one shoulder.

"Just introducing Jamie and Nathan."

"Yea, she's actually giving me a chance to prove myself to her," Nathan said.

"She is, well that's awfully nice of you Jamie," Lucas said, putting his arm around her.

"I know, its part of the new me, giving people second chances."

"Well new Jamie, how about we go and get your schedule?"

"Sure, see you later guys."

"Bye."

"Well they seem to get along nicely," Nathan said as Lucas and Jamie walked away.

"They've always been like that, so to learn?" Peyton and Nathan looked at each other and laughed.

"You're wife's a dork," Peyton said.

"I agree, but I still love her." They kissed and walked into school.

"Ok, read them to me," Lucas said when Jamie got her schedule.

"Alright we have calculus for breakfast, art, English 4, government…"

"Wait a minute those are senior classes."

"England's a little more accelerated than Tree Hill, anyways then I have Music and…varsity sports?"

"What? You have to be in a sport in order to have that class, excuse me," he said to the lady behind the office desk.

"Yes Mr. Scott?"

"She has varsity sports for sixth period and that class is for people in physical sports, how is that possible?"

"All other classes were either filled or not compatible with her schedule."

"Well what am I supposed to do in that class?" the woman shrugged. "Thanks for the help," she said sarcastically. "Whatever, how many classes do I have with you?"

"All of them except for art which you have Peyton for."

"You're taking music?"

"I needed an art credit."

"Ok, to calculus we go." They walked out of the office and walked to class.

Brooke walked into calculus and Haley was sitting in her usual seat.

"What's up Haley?"

"Hey Brooke." Lucas walked into calculus with his arm draped around Jamie.

"Who is that skank that Lucas has his arm around?"

"Um Brooke that's my sister, Jamie."

"Sister? I didn't know you have another sister."

"Well she's been away for a while; she's a year younger than me."

"Hey Haley," Jamie said.

"Jamie, um this is Brooke."

"Hi," Brooke said.

"Hey, so I'm going to sit over there with Lucas, nice meeting you Brooke." She walked across the room to sit with Lucas. The class went smoothly and Lucas and Jamie were assigned to be study buddies.

"Study buddies? That sounds so gay," Jamie said as Lucas walked her to art.

"Yea well at least we get to spend time together."

"I know you love that," Jamie said. He smiled.

"So here you are, Art 101, I'll see you later."

"Bye." She walked in and took a seat near the back. Peyton walked in a short while later and sat down next to Jamie.

"What's up Mini James?" she asked.

"Chillin', you?"

"Tired, anyways our teacher isn't coming in today so we have the class to ourselves."

"What do you mean to ourselves? There's nobody else in this class?"

"Not many people know how to draw; this is a super advanced class."

"You mean you were solo until I came along?"

"Yup."

"Damn, that's pretty cool. So all these supplies are for us?"

"Pretty much."

"Sweet."

"So what's your schedule?" Jamie read it to her. "Varsity sports?"

"Apparently they had no other class for me."

"Well I have that class."

"What do you play?"

"Cheerleader."

"You're a cheerleader?"

"I know my looks may be deceiving, you know Haley is one too."

"What?" she started laughing. "I did not see that one coming."

"Well we all have out little surprises, anyways what's up with you and Lucas?"

"What do you mean?" she asked as she opened up a cabinet.

"I mean it looks like you guys are close…really close."

"We've always been like that. Do you like him?"

"Um, no we're just friends."

"Ok." The rest of the class went by quickly and so did the day. Jamie soon found herself in varsity sports. She walked into the gym and picked out the basketball team, football team, cheerleaders and so on. Whitey spotted Jamie and called her over.

"Young lady, over here," he said. She walked over to him.

"Yes sir?"

"Are you new here?"

"Yea, do I have to give you my schedule?"

"I don't have to see it, what do you play?"

"Nothing, this is the only class they could put me in, I'm Jamie James sir."

"Coach Whitey, are you Haley's sister?"

"Yes sir."

"Ok well you can go ahead and take a seat on the bleachers and do homework or whatever."

"Ok, thanks coach." She walked up the bleachers and sat down. She was five minutes into her homework when somebody sat down next to her.

"Hey Lucas, shouldn't you be practicing for tonight's game or something?"

"We don't practice on game days which means you have me to yourself all period."

"How fortunate."

"Come on, you now you love spending time with me." She smiled.

"You're right I do."

Rachel looked at the bleachers and saw Lucas talking to a girl she didn't recognize.

"Who's that?" she asked Brooke.

"Haley's sister."

"Another loser."

"Hey Haley is my friend."

"Whatever, how does she know Lucas?"

"Through Haley, duh. Anyways, apparently they're really close."

"But that doesn't bother you right? I mean you are over him."

"I am, it's you I'm worried about, you seem to go for a guy whenever he's taken, and I hope you don't get it for both Scott brothers." Brooke walked away leaving Rachel alone.

"So are you going to come to the game tonight?" Lucas asked Jamie.

"If you're playing then of course I am."

"Well…"

"What?"

"I can't play."

"What are you talking about? Lucas you're awesome, why wouldn't you be able to play?"

"Because I have HCM."

"The heart condition?"

"Yea and I can't play."

"Oh my gosh, Lucas I'm so sorry. It must be so hard for you," she said hugging him.

"You have no idea."

"So what, you get to watch from the sidelines or something?"

"Well tonight I am Mouth's guest as he anchors the game."

"Cool."

"So are you coming?"

"As long as I get to have some Lucas time."

"I promise you will."

"Then I'm there." Nathan walked up the bleachers.

"Hey Jamie."

"Hey Nathan."

"Wow, you actually said my name."

"React like that again and I'll never say it again."

"Right, so after the party Rachel is throwing a party at her house, you two going?"

"Party? I'm there," Jamie said with a smile big enough to worry Lucas.

"Whoa," Lucas said.

"Is there a problem?" she asked.

"Jamie are you sure this is the right way to start? By going to a high school party?"

"Lucas, I'm not going to get wasted or do anything stupid, I'm not going to drink at all. You can trust me." he looked skeptical but he wanted to trust her.

"Ok, we'll be there," he finally said.

"Alright." Nathan stayed for a little longer then went back to his friends.

"Who's that redhead that keeps looking over here?" Jamie asked Lucas.

"That's Rachel."

"Is it possible that I want to beat her up without even knowing her?"

"She has that effect on people. She's trouble and you should probably stay away from her."

"Consider it done."

"Want me to give you a ride home?"

"What about Peyton?"

"She's going to be staying here, it's what the team and cheerleaders do."

"Ok then sure." The bell rang and they left to Peyton's house. Jamie opened the door with the key Peyton had given her and they went up to her room.

"Oh my gosh these white walls are killing me," Jamie said as they walked in. They sat on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"I'm sure you and Peyton will come up with something crazy to put on the walls."

"Are you going to help?"

"Sure but I'm not very artistic."

"Trust me, I know."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Exactly what you're thinking." He hit her with a pillow. "Oh no my friend you just initiated a pillow fight." She picked another pillow up and they started fighting. Five minutes later they toppled onto the bed laughing. "You're such a dork," Jamie said.

"Says you." She laughed and sat up.

"I think I'm going to sleep for a while, I'm so tired."

"Do you want me to stay with you?"

"Planning to take advantage of me while I'm in a deep slumber?"

"No, I just…"

"What?"

"I just want to be with you."

"Afraid that I'm going somewhere?"

"Like I said before, losing you for two years killed me. I don't want to lose you again."

"Well I'm not going anywhere and for your sake, of course you can stay." They laid back and he put his arms around her.

"Ok I'm setting your alarm clock for six thirty."

"That's fine, later Lucas." She closed her eyes and they were son both asleep.

"RIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!" The alarm clock blared. Lucas opened his eyes and shut it off. He looked at Jamie who was still sleeping.

"Jamie, Jamie wake up," he lightly shook her. She opened her eyes. "Hey sleeping beauty." He kissed her forehead and got up. She stretched and walked into the bathroom soon enough they were on the way back to school. When they walked into the gym the teams were already warming up.

"Why don't you take a seat up there and I'll join you in the fourth quarter," Lucas said to Jamie.

"Ok." Jamie walked up the bleachers and sat down. The first quarter went great and they were now in the second.

"Well well well, the rumors are true, Jamie James is back in Tree Hill," someone said behind Jamie. She turned around and saw the only girl she swore she hated, Brenda Carlson. She was like the queen bee from Mean Girls, ultra bitch and thought she was the hottest thing to ever walk this earth. She and Jamie were always at opposite ends and apparently nothing had changed. Jamie turned back to the game.

"Brenda, so nice to see you again," she said.

"Right. So are you planning on setting the gym on fire? Is that why you're here?"

"No I'm here to watch the game."

"Why? You don't belong here."

"Last time I checked, I go here."

"Doesn't mean anyone wants you here."

"That's your opinion and frankly I don't give three flying fucks what you think."

"There's that potty mouth, gosh can't you say one nice thing?"

"Oh yea I can," she turned to look at her, "but not to you." She got up.

"Where are you going?"

"As far away from you as possible."

"Well before you go let me tell you something. You know about Rachel's party?" Jamie nodded. "Don't even think about showing up." Jamie leaned into Brenda's ear.

"If you think I'm scared of you you're mistaken." She winked at Brenda then walked down the bleachers and sat behind the Ravens bench. The game ended with the Ravens winning and Jamie soon found herself at her first official high school party.
