After school Cam, Ali, Nicki, Max, Justin, Marcus, Chris, Addie, and Haley got into Cam's and Max's car and meet up at the Taco Bell down the street from CHS.

Max- did ya hear?

Addie- what?

Max- that White, Jamie and Kat, came to town this afternoon. Something about a meeting with D.

Nicki- yhea mom told me.

Marcus- yhea also SME, Jude, Tommy, mom, dad, White, Jamie, and Kat are coming tonight.

Haley looked up then- what? Why? What about the "protection" from the paparazzi they were, are trying to install. They can't come!

Cameron- hun chill just call your parents. Trying to stop her from her rant

Haley reached for her fone, only to remember the events of that morning, and shuddered, only for it to go unnoticed by her brother.

Chris- what's wrong?

Haley-nothing.

Chris- hay I'm your big brother

Haley- for like a minute

Chris- but im still a minute older.

All of their friends sighed, knowing this fight like the back of their hands.

Haley- so? I can fend for my self, I don't need some arrogant know it all who spends way to much time on his hair freak to tell me how to live my life.

Everyone was shocked, Haley never said anything like that before, especially to her own brother.

Haley stood up and walked out of the small restaurant, only to be followed by said brother who found her crying.

Chris was shocked to say the least, it took a lot for his sister to cry much less, say things like she did. Sure she wasn't going to let anyone push her around take try outs for example but she never told her friends things like that even if it was somebody she couldn't stand not even to Addie wouldn't repeat anything even if her life depended on it; let alone family.

Chris put a comforting arm and said- Hay talk to me, you've been different since you came out of Devin's class.
Haley- he knows.

With that statement everything fell down. Only a few select people knew the truth about the Dutois twins, and how he knew they didn't know.

Chris- I talked to mom during 6th period.

Haley looked up- what'd she say?

Chris- Speed is coming to be the supporting dad, along with Kyle and Wally so their "story" is they are coming to hang out with their friends and support their friends' children.

Haley- I wonder what people are going to say once…

Chris- I know. I wonder too.

Their brother/sister "bonding" moment was ruined when their cousin Nicki came outside telling them that they were leaving.

So they stood up and walked over to the cars.

Max- Hay, Chris, Marcus, Nicki are ridding with me.

Cameron- but…

Max glared at Cameron as he instantly shut up.

Cameron- Justin, Ali and Ads will ride with me.

He kissed Haley on her cheek then got into his BMW.

Once Max started his Hummer he turned down his dad's and "uncles" newest cd, and looked at Haley in the rearview mirror

Max- spill.

Haley sighed, and told them.

Marcus- wow.

Haley- nah ya thing Gabrielle?

Marcus- don't chew my head off.

Haley- I'm sorry Marc. it's just mom and dad at the game tonight along with Devin.

Chris- this will be the first time they will see you cheer.

Nicki glanced at her cousin as if he was idiotic and said in clenched teeth- not helping

Haley- no it's fine.

Max- ok! Everybody OUT of my car

OUTSIDE-

Chris- me, Marcus and Justin are gunna go play in the band room, until you girls need us k?

Addie- K.

Chris- bye Hay

Haley- later

Marcus- c'mon dude.

Max looked over to see Cameron and Haley a couple of feet away from them, so he screamed- C'MON LOVER BOY! TIME FOR PRACTICE, IF WE DON'T LEAVE NOW!

Cameron groaned good naturally before running and jumping on Max then they started to "fight"

Nicki- guys!

They broke apart as Nicki reminded them- practice?

Ali- and ours too!

Haley- we… gotta go.

Max- yhea.

The six of them took off across the field, the guys towards the field house, the girls towards the gym.

Haley- Michael! Are the guys dressed?

Michael nodded- yhea, imma about to get them to bring out all the equipment and water and stuff.

Haley smiled- alright well imma go re-do my make-up and will be out here shortly.

She walked inside to a room filled, with laughter and music.

Jess- Hey!
Haley- hey!

Jess- I saved you a spot on the mirror.

Haley smiled, said mirror had lots of room, so your not crowding someone else, and it had this huge stool so your not standing up or sitting down a certain way to mess up your hair, also it had a table to put your things on and two outlets for every section. The other mirror had 10 outlets, and you were either standing or sitting on the tile floor and your make-up and hair things were sitting on the floor.

As Haley walked towards the back to her locker she saw Nicki and Ali talking but immediately quit when she walked up. She looked at them strangely and said- hey.

Nicki- hey.

Ali- hey.

Haley- ready for tonight's game?

The two nodded their heads enthusiastically
Haley smiled, and reached for her sports bag, after she unlocked her locker.

As Haley started walking away she stopped and turned around- are we ok?

The two nodded their heads as Ali said- we're bestfriends of course!

Nicki- yhea.

Haley- ok.

She walked over to said mirror, and got stopped by Addie- hey.

Haley- hey.

Addie- Laura won't put any makeup on.

Haley sighed- k. well I'll go do that you just make sure everyone else looks perfect.

Jess- need me to help?

Addie- sure.

Haley smiled and said a quick thanks then walked off to were Laura was sitting.

Laura- Hi.

Haley- hi. What's wrong. Why aren't you wearing make-up yet?

Laura- I um… I don't really um… know how?
Haley- that's ok, you have to learn. One day soon I'll teach you but for now? I'll do it.

Laura smiled gratefully- thanks, and please don't say anything.

Haley- I won't your secret is safe with me.

A few minutes later Laura's make-up was done.

Haley- I hate you

Laura- why?

Haley- look at you! Your beautiful, even without make-up and your hair held the curls! Mine doesn't.

Laura laughed- Yhea well other people won't see it that way.

Haley- what do you mean?

Laura- um. Forget I said anything.

Haley- a guy?

Laura looked down ashamed but nodded her head

Haley smiled- who? I mean you don't have to tell me but…

Laura- it's just that your friends with him.

Haley- my brother?

Laura- no. um Justin Batman.

Haley's jaw dropped- no way!

Laura- um yhea

Haley smiled- you would make a cute couple. But I promise I won't say anything.

Laura- thanks.

Haley- k well I gotta go do my make-up and hair so…

Laura- k. later

Haley- later

Haley walked over to where her things were, and Addie was sitting there doing her make-up

Addie- hey dork

Haley- hey loser, get up

Addie scoffs- please

Haley laughs as she starts trying to push her off.

Addie- at least do my hair, since my curling iron died.

Haley laughs as she rolls her eyes, and takes the iron from her and starts to curl her hair. Then she tightened her pony tail and re-gel and hair sprayed her hair.
Haley- ribbon or none?

Addie- ribbon.

Addie reached into Haley's bag and took out a white ribbon with red CHS on it.

Haley laughed as she then tried to push Addie of the stool again

Addie-ok loser imma do your make-up/

Haley didn't care as long as it was done- fine.

Soon everybody was in the gym stretching, and getting ready for the night's game.

Nicki- So now what?

Haley- um, wait a sec k.

She read her side kick it was from Chris- mom dad band room come.

Haley- well Nicki, Ali, Addie and I are going to go get our brothers, and some things for tonight's game and we will be back.

Jimmy- why do you all need to go.

Addie- cause their in different parts of the school and we need to get ready,

Jimmy mumbled- whatever as the four girls took off

In band room- Justin and Marcus was standing outside with Nicki, Addie and Ali keeping watch.

Jude-look at my girl.

Haley smiled- yhea.

Tommy- your going to do great k princess?

Chris- she always does.

Tommy- did Chris tell you our "story"

Haley- yhea.

Jude- are you ok?

Haley- yhea, it's just.

Jude- I know Alex told me.

Chris whined- mom!

Tommy- Jude, let Hay go practice, we've got to go pick up Andrews, and company.

Jude hit him lightly on the chest- be nice.

Haley- seriously mom, we only have like an hour and a half to get everything together and practice.

Tommy gave a hug to Chris and kissed Haley and told them he'd see them after the game.

Jude gave each of her "babies" a hug and kiss and walked out.

Haley- they both love us.

Chris- I know, I just want to

Haley- record.

Chris- let's go.

He grabbed his guitar case and slung it over his shoulder and walked out of the door towards his friends.

Justin- so…. What do we got to do?

Addie- um…pick up the snacks and waters from the office.

Haley- and pom-poms.

Marcus- let's get this over with.

They all headed off towards the office except for Haley and Chris, because he left his guitar pick, that Pagen Smith had signed and given to him for his 10th birthday.

So they went back in and looked for it and when they came back out they started walking off only to be stopped by a teacher's voice- where do you think you're going.

Haley- um, we are headed towards the office.

Then why are you in the band room Miss. Dutois.

Haley- I am sorry Devin, if this is an inconvience for you but we were grabbing my brother's guitar pick

Devin scoffs- ok, good luck in tonight's game.

Chris glared at Devin and started to walk towards him remembering what had happened to his sister earlier that morning.

Haley- Alex no!

Chris stopped- do NOT call me that!

Haley- it's not worth it, please no.

Devin stood there smirking- he thinks he can take me?

Haley- I know he can.

She started walking towards Devin, and it was Chris holding her back.

Chris threw her over his shoulder and started walking away cussing the teacher out, while Haley was screaming- put me down Christen! Dang it she was hitting him and kicking him.

Chris was laughing- you know, you being small, and like 90 pounds does help.

Haley mumbled- whatever.

Once they got a safe distance he put her down but held onto her- you think I can let you down without you punching the man?

Haley looked at him like he was crazy but agreed, until…
