[Fade out. Fade In, Tree Hill High School. A bunch of girls that were at the cheerleader tryouts are standing in front of the bulletion board and are looking for their names. Some girls get excited but when Blake and Paige walk up they split like the red sea. Blake looks at the paper and sees their names.]
Blake: "I knew she make the right descion."
Paige: "Defently."
Blake: "But why doessn't it say head cheerleader."
Paige: "Maybe she's going to announce it during practice."
[They walk off. Hartley walks up to the paper and is crossing her fingers. She doesn't want to be on the squad, the only reason she tried out is because her mother is a cheerleading legacy. She sees her name and gets upset.]
Hartley: "What? How in the hell did I make the squad."
[She says storming off to Ms. Davis office, which is right by the school gym. When she gets to the office she knocks on the door, calmly.]
Brooke: "Come in."
[Hartley opens the door and looks at Brooke who is looking at a wedding magazine.]
Brooke: "What can I help you with?"
Hartley: "I was wondering why you put me on the squad?"
Brooke: "Hartley. I put you on because you have potential."
Hartley: "I purposely sucked because I don't want to be on the squad. I'm a rebel, without a cause."
Brooke: "Then why did you try out? As a joke?"
Hartley: "My mother was a cheerleader all throughout high school and college, even was on the Lakers' squad before she had me. She made me tryout."
Brooke: "Look, Hartley. If you don't want to be on the squad then don't come to the practice tonight, ok. But if you want to give it a shot and let your potentional grow, come."
Hartley: "Well, cheerleading isn't my forte. I'm more of a hang out with the drama people, sing out in the crowd while wearing punk, rock-ish clothes type of person."
Brooke: "Isn't Paige Swan like that?"
Hartley: "No. Paige Swan is a disturbed person who has parental issues. She's acting out because lost her parents five years and not only that she's a freaking whore."
Brooke: "Hartley! I don't comdem that kind of attitude towards a class mate."
Hartley: "I'm sorry. But it's true she sleeps with any guy that ask her out. I should get going."
Brooke: "Well the offer always stands."
[Hartley leaves the room and storms down the hall, she bumps into someone and makes them drop their notebooks. Hartley stops and helps the girl pick up the notebooks.]
Hartley: "I'm so sorry."
Miley: "It's alright."
[Miley Patterson has her hair straight down with a thick black headband. She looks at Hartley.]
Miley: "I wasn't paying attention."
Hartley: "It was my fault too. I was distracted."
[Miley stands up holding her notebooks, so does Hartley.]
Hartley: "I made the cheerleading squad."
Miley: "That's a bad thing?"
Hartley: "If your not into that stuff. I'm a punk person, not a 'spirited' person."
[She said 'spirited' as if she was very cheerful.]
Miley: "That sounds a lot like me. I'm lost. Can you show me the way to Mrs. Fredricks homeroom?"
Hartley: "Follow me, we share the same homeroom teacher."
Miley: "Cool. Atleast I'll have someone to talk to. I'm Miley by the way."
Hartley: "Hart. It's short for Hartley but no one ever calls me that."
Miley: "Cute. But kinda ironic don'tcha think?"
Hartley: "What do you mean?"
Miley: "Your a punk, rock-ish type of person who guys by Hart, Heart."
Hartley: "Oh. I've never thought of that. I guess it is kinda ironic."
[Hartley and Miley walk into a classroom and sit down in two empty seats next to each other. Blake and Paige are sitting on top of desk on the opposite side of the classroom, talking while everyone is going to their seats. The bell rings and the homeroom teacher, Mrs. Fredricks closes the door and looks at her homeroom.]
Mrs. Fredricks: "Quiet down, students. Welcome back from your Summer Break."
[Everyone gets quiet, she looks at Blake and Paige still seating on the desk.]
Mrs. Fredricks: "Blake. Paige. Please get off of the desk."
Blake: "Sure, Mrs. Fred."
Mrs. Fredricks: "Thank you girls."
[Blake and Paige slide into the desk chairs. sits at her desk and grabs the schedules.]
Mrs. Fredricks: "When I call your name, come get your schedule and sign this paper."
[She says pointing to a blank piece of paper. She looks at the stack in her hand.]
Mrs. Fredricks: "Cameron Parks. Miley Patterson. Shaye Pembroke. Franco Peters. Carl Peterson."
[While Mrs. Fredricks is calling names Blake and Paige are talking. Waiting.]
Paige: "I'm having the worst hangover of all time. My head is still pounding."
Blake: "You were completely wasted last night."
Paige: "I know. I can't remember a damn thing. I hope I didn't sleep with anybody."
Mrs. Fredricks: "Amber Pierce. Wyatt Rainborne. Gary Reeke. Hartley Rose. Skye Roddey. Blakey Roderick."
[Blake gets up and heads to the desk and then heads back to her seat. She sees Hartley and gives her an evil stare. When Hartley gets back to her seat Miley ask about Blake.]
Miley: "I'm guessing Blake doesn't like you."
Hartley: "She doesn't like anyone. Let me see your schedule."
[Miley hands her the piece of paper.]
Mrs. Fredricks: "Michael Ryan. Grace Samuels. Paige Shane."
[Paige gets up and grabs hers.]
Hartley: "We have home room and the last period together. Algebra."
Miley: "Cool. I hate math."
Hartley: "So do I. I don't have to worry about it because i'm going to be a famous actress one day and i'll just hire some smart people to do it for me."
Miley: "You already know what your going to do with the rest of your life?"
Hartley: "Yeah. Don't you?"
Miley: "No. Not really. I'm just trying to live each day as if it was my last one."
Hartley: "I like that concept."
[Blake and Paige look at each other.]
Paige: "Mrs. Fred. Can me and Blake leave early? We have to..."
[Paige looks at her friend, Blake continues for her.]
Blake: "We have to freshen up for our first class."
[Mrs. Fredricks looks at the clock. There's five minutes until the bell rings.]
Mrs. Fredricks: "Ok. But don't make it a habit of leaving early, ok girls?"
[Blake and Paige grab thier purses and walk to the door.]
Blake and Paige: "We promise."
[Paige opens the door and they head off to the bathroom. Hartley looks at Miley.]
Hartley; "I totally hate her."
Miley: "She seems like a bitch."
Hartley:"She is. And a cheerleader."
Miley: "Thin line."
Hartley: "What do you do for lunch?"
Miley: "I'm the kind of person who actually eats."
Hartley: "Now your my kinda girl."
[The bell rings. Hartley and Miley head off to their first period class.]
[The outside of the high school. Brooke is on the phone with Haley as she walks to her car.]
Brooke: "Where are we meeting for lunch?"
Haley: "I was thinking that new little place down from clothes over bro's."
Brooke: "Oooh, Pleasure Of Tongue. I had dinner with Julian at that place two nights ago."
Haley: "It's so good. I'm walking in right now. Where are you?"
Brooke: "On my way. Be there soon."
[Brooke gets in her car and heads there. We then see Brooke walking into the restraunt and sitting next to Haley at the table, the drinks are already there.]
Haley: "I already ordered drinks. You wanted a virgin margarita?"
Brooke: "You know me so well."
Haley: "So how does it feel being a cheerleader again?"
Brooke: "Technically i'm not. But it's different, awesome."
[She takes a sip of her drink.]
Brooke: "But I had to deal with a bitch. A student bitch. I mean she acted like she owns the school."
Haley: "Wow."
Brooke: "I know."
Haley: "She sounds like someone I knew in high school."
Brooke: "Yeah, I know. Rachel."
Haley: "I meant you, Brooke. You were a bitch in high school."
Brooke: "I'll admit it, I was a bitch but I grew up. I'm about to get married to the man I love."
Haley: "Yes. You finally did grow up."
[The waiter walks by the table. He's in his early twenties and he's really attractive.]
Brad (Waiter): "Good afternoon, ladies. My name's Brad, how can I help you today?"
[The girls quickly look over the menu quickly.]
Brooke: "Hi, Brad. My name's Brooke. I'll take the grilled chicken salad with italian dressing and a side
of sweet potato fries."
Brad: "Ok."
Haley: "I'll take a cheeseburger with no onions and french fries. Can you bring some A1 sauce to go with it?"
Brad: "I got it. I'll be back when it's done. Call me if you need anything else."
[Brad walks off with their order. Brooke looks at Haley.]
Brooke: "He's a cutie."
Haley: "I've been so horny since I became pregnant."
Brooke: "I've been horny since I lost my virginity in high school."
Haley: "Typical Brooke Davis."
Brooke: "So me, oh my god! Is that..."
[Ada Roderick, a fourty year old woman with blonde hair notices Brooke sitting down. Brooke stands up and walks by Ada and gives her a hug.]
Ada: "Brooke."
Brooke: "Aunt Ada, what are you doing here?"
Ada: "I've moved back about five years ago. Look at you, I haven't seen you since you were atleast twelve years old."
Brooke: "I know. Time has aged you well."
[Brooke says after releasing the hug and looking her aunt over.]
Ada: "I know. I've gotten botox but that's it."
Brooke: "Aunt Ada, who are you here with?"
Ada: "I'm meeting my husband here. And there he is."
[Kyle Roderick, a nice looking man with dark hair in his middle fourties walks up to Ada. He kisses on her cheek.]
Kyle: "Hey, honey."
Ada: "Kyle, honey. This is my neice Brooke. Brooke my husband Kyle."
Kyle: "Nice to meet you Brooke."
[He says shaking her hand. They shake hands and then let go.]
Brooke: "It's nice to meet you, Kyle. Uncle Kyle?"
Kyle: "Please just Kyle."
Ada: "Is that your shop down the street?"
Brooke: "Yeah. Come in anytime, i'll give you the family discount."
Ada: "Well i've been shopping there for years. So you owe me a huge discount."
Brooke: "Got it. I'll be there this weekend for sure. I'll see you around."
Ada: "Defiantly. You have to come over for dinner one night."
Brooke: "Of course."
[Brooke heads back to the table and digs through her purse, she grabs one of her buisness cards and walks back.]
Brooke: "Here's my card. Call me."
Ada: "I will. It was great seeing you again."
Brooke: "It really was."
[Ada and her husband walk off to the table, he had for them accross the room. Brooke walks back to the table and sits down.]
Haley: "So i'm guessing that was your aunt."
Brooke: "Yeah. I would've introduced you but..."
Haley: "I know. It doesn't matter. Let's get back to lunch."
[View on Chad and Hart walking into the library with their new friend Miley. The library is doesn't have any students or teachers or librarians in it but the doors are open. Hart walks into the office of the library and heads to the fridge.]
Hartley: "Would you like reheated pizza or chinese food?"
Miley: "Ummm..."
Chad: "How about fresh chinese food? I ordered some last period. It's on its way."
[He says poking his head in.]
Miley: "Oooh, that sounds good."
[She says agreeing with Chad and then looks at Hartley.]
Hartley: "Thirsty?"
Miley: "What do they have?"
[She says walking in front of the open door and looking inside. There's twenty ounce of different sodas and water.]
Miley: "I'll take a sprite."
Hartley:"Cool."
[Hartley grabs three bottles of drinks and heads to an empty table in the library area just as Chad let's the delivery guy into the library doors.]
Chad: "How much?"
Delivery Guy: "$35.75"
[Chad pulls out two twenty's and hands it to the guy and grabs the food.]
Chad: "Keep the change."
Delivery Guy: "Thanks."
[He says and leaves. Chad walks by the table with the bag of food and places it on top.]
Miley: "Do you guys do this every single day?"
Chad: "Only every now and then."
Hartley: "It's better than cafetera food."
Miley: "The cafetera food at my old school was actually good. It might've been a private school but I don't see the difference."
Chad: "What schoool did you go to?"
Miley: "St. Theresa's in Charolette."
Chad: "I have a cousin who goes there, her name's Jade Vincent."
Miley: "Does she have bright red dyed hair, like the girl in Paramore used to have?"
Chad: "Yeah. She's obsessed with rock music."
Miley:"I had a few classes with her. She was cool."
[They all grab one of the three boxes and places in front of each other and grabs some chopsticks. Hart looks at the chopsticks like they are from outerspace.]
Hartley: "Does anybody want an actual spoon?"
Miley: "I do, I still haven't mastered eating rice with the sticks yet."
[She says while opening her drink and taking a sip. Hart gets up and heads to the office and grabs three plastic spoons.]
Chad: "I haven't mastered it, but it's not that hard."
Miley: "I try. Thanks."
[She says when Hartley hads her a spoon.]
Hartley: "Your welcome."
Chad: "So why the move to Tree Hill?"
Miley: "I have family here. My mother passed away from cancer last year and my step dad is moving to Seattle. I really didn't want to go, so I moved in with my brother."
Hartley: "I'm sorry about your mom."
Chad: "Sorry. That must've been hard. What about your biological father, do you know him?"
Miley: "No. My mom told me upfront that he's an asshole and I should try to find him when I want to. So that's what I did. He didn't want me, so I came looking for more family and I found it."
Chad: "Wow. Must've been hard for you loosing your mother and then finding a father who doesn't want you. I sorta know how you feel, my father left when I was mother hasn't remarried since."
Miley: "Oh. Sorry, I guess."
Chad: "It's alright. I deal with it."
Hartley: "Sorry if I can't join the unwanted club, my parents are still together."
[Miley and Hartley giggly a little while eating their food. Miley looks at Hartley.]
Miley: "So, what do Blake and her posse do for lunch?"
Hartley: "Blake and Paige usually leave off campus everyday and go to a restraunt. And they get away with that because they have money and get whatever they want."
Chad: "Seriously, Hart. I know you don't like them because of reasons unknown but can you stop complaining about it."
Hartley:"Well I can't help it if we don't like each other. And I have a good reason to hate her."
Chad: "Why's that? Because she calls you Fartley?"
Hartley: "No. A little name calling isn't a reason to hate someone."
Miley: "She really calls you that?"
Hartley: "Yeah. She doesn't like me because i'm different. Just look at me. Do I look plastic?"
Miley: "Your the one who stands out in the crowd. And the typical basketball player hangs out with her why?"
[Miley says to Chad. He begins to say something without thinking.]
Chad: "The only reaon I hang out with her is because she's my..."
[Hartley finishes his sentences off before he can himself.]
Hartley: "His bestfriend. We've known each other since we were kids."
Miley: "That's sweet.I didn't really have a best friend. I usually just hung out with everyone or kept to myself most of the time."
Hartley: "Well i've never had a girl bestfriend. You could be mine."
Miley: "Sounds like a deal."
[The bell rings. ]
