Chapter One
Well, we arrived at the airport and boarded our plane. The stewardess said that we would be arriving in about 3 hours. Luke and I sat next to each other and our parents sat behind us. "You kids will see how great this is once we get there. The house is amazing and you'll make friends in no time!" Dad tried to reassure us.
I looked at Luke and rolled my eyes. I put my headphones on and fell asleep. Luke woke me up as everyone was getting off the plane. I followed like a zombie and we got our luggage and a taxi. "Now, all our stuff will arrive at our house in a few hours so we need to stick around and help them unload everything. Okay, kids?"
"Yes, mom, we'll be there," Luke said.
"Where else would we go in a town we know nothing about," I muttered and watched out my window.
"What was that, dear?" dad asked.
"Nothing, dad. It was nothing," I replied with a small smile.
"You know, I'm really glad that you kids are okay with this move. I really wanted to start my shop in Michigan, but I always wanted to go back to my home town. I'm excited for you to go to Tree Hill High and graduate where your mom and I graduated from," he said with a smile.
I suddenly felt bad for how I've been acting. My dad hadn't been to Tree Hill in years. He never did tell us why he and mom took us and left. "I'm sorry I've been acting so terribly, daddy. I'm just gonna miss all my friends. I'm sure that Tree Hill will be good for Lucas and me," I replied and he winked at me.
A little while later we pulled up to our new house. Luke and I looked at each other before we ran inside. While he stood in awe of the house, I started running upstairs. "I pick my room first!"
"No way! That's not fair!" he yelled and chased me up there.
"Yes it is! I'm older!"
"By a minute!" he retorted and I just kept going.
"We've already picked your rooms, kids! They're already filled with your things!"
I didn't have a balcony like Lucas, but my room was definately bigger! I could get used to this. I walked into Luke's room and layed down on his bed. "Wanna go check out what's so great about this town?" I asked.
He looked at me and smirked. "Sure, lets go tell mom and dad."
I nodded and we walked downstairs together. "We wanna check out Tree Hill, is that okay?"
"No, I told you both that we had to stay to move everything in!" mom said.
"Go ahead kids. Have fun," dad said and I smiled.
"Keith!" mom started.
"Now, now, Karen. We don't need their help. Besides, they're only kids once. Let them have fun," dad explained to mom who merely nodded.
"Come on, Luke. I'll drive!" I said and we hopped into our car.
We drove to the downtown area of Tree Hill and I parked. We both got out and we saw a sign that said Deb's Diner. "Hungry?" I asked, pointing to the sign.
"Starving! Let's go," he said and we walked in. We sat in a booth in the corner and looked at the menus.
"Hello, I'm Deb. Can I get you something to drink?"
I said, "I'll have a coke please."
"Same," said Luke.
"You two look like you're new around here. Did you just move into town?" she asked when she returned with our drinks.
"Yeah, we just got here about 2 hours ago," Luke answered.
I got curious and asked, "our father used to live here when he was younger. You don't happen to know a Keith Roe, do you?"
Deb suddenly smiled brightly. "Of course I do! I was the maid of honor at his wedding! How is Karen?"
I smiled. "Mom's doing okay. She was sad to leave behind 'Karen's Cafe', but she's hoping to open up one here," I explained. "Then again, she wanted to open up a night club, too."
"Well, that's wonderful! I hope she does the night club, though. I've had Karen's cooking and I don't want her taking all of my customers," Deb joked. "You must be starving! What can I get you kids?" We placed our orders with her and fourty five minutes later she was sitting with us, sharing stories about our parents.
"Mom and dad sure were crazy back in the day," Luke laughed.
"I didn't know mom was prom queen. That's pretty cool," I said.
"Yeah, your dad and I were homecoming king and queen and your mom and my husband, Dan, were prom king and queen," she explained. "Everyone decided to mix up the couples, I guess!"
"Well, this was fun, Deb. I'll be sure to tell mom and dad where to find you!" I said standing up.
"Make sure you and Lucas stop by every once in a while and see your god mother," she said, following suit.
"You're our god mother?" I asked.
"Your mom never told you that? She didn't tell you much about me, did she?" she looked disappointed.
"Well, mom and dad never said much about Tree Hill," Lucas explained.
"Yeah, don't feel bad. I haven't heard any of the stories you told us," I tried to soothe, but might have been pouring salt in the open wound.
"Say, Deb, do you know a place called 'rivercourt'? Dad did tell us about that and we were hoping to catch a game of one-on-one," Lucas said and I nodded.
She explained how to get there from here and I smiled. "Doesn't sound too hard to find. Thanks again, Deb."
"You're welcome. You're sure to make lots of friends at the rivercourt, including my son, Nathan. The three of you used to play together when you were in diapers. I've got pictures of the three of you together, so Nate knows who you are. I've only told him all the stories I have of all your mischief!"
We all laughed and said our goodbyes. Lucas and I got into the car and headed in the direction of the Rivercourt.
Review please!
