Chapter Thirteen – White Blank Page

Jenny placed her books in her locker and began making her way to the library to get a little studying done. "Jenny!" She slowed and turned to find Casey running to catch up with her.

"Hey Casey, what's up?"

"I think I know who it is."

"Who what it?"

"The girl that Johnny's cheating on you with." Jenny had forgotten she told Casey to look out for that.

"Who he was cheating on me with, we're not together anymore so he can do whatever he wants."

"Details Jenny, but don't you want to know who it is?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know? This girl was probably hooking up with your boyfriend then coming to cheer practice and acting nice to your face."

"She's a cheerleader?"

"There's the curiosity I'm looking for. Okay, at the classic he had a confrontation with none other than Sawyer Scott." Jenny's head immediately shot up. "Right before we were about to perform they talked, he reached for her hand but she pulled away. He tried to talk to her, but she walked away crying and he looked confused."

"So, they could have been talking about anything."

"He reached for her hand!"

"Maybe she was upset about something else and he was only trying to comfort her. What you have isn't exactly solid evidence."

"Fine, we won't start world war three yet, but give me some more time and I will find out everything." Jenny debated telling her not to, but deep down she still wanted to know what went wrong.

"Just make sure you have some solid evidence before you do or say anything."

"Don't worry about me, I'm like the female James Bond." Jenny laughed, linked arms with Casey and the two made their way to the library.

The sun was shining brightly as Lydia and Sawyer sat at a table on the quad and ate lunch. "It's really warm out here considering there was a hurricane like two days ago."

"Never again will I take the sun for granted."

"I thought you liked the rain?" Lydia shrugged. "And didn't you spend the whole day trapped inside with Jude?"

"Yeah."

"So wouldn't any sane girl be praying for hurricanes like, all the time so they could have an excuse to stay home a do their boyfriends."

"Sawyer!" Lydia said shocked.

"What?"

"Jude and I haven't gone that far yet, you know I'm still a virgin."

"Even after the classic?" Lydia nodded. "Lana Ferry told me she saw you two going at it like rabbits in the hall, and then you spent the night in his room, I just kind of guys assumed you guys would have had sex."

"You think I would have sex and then not tell you."

"I assumed you would tell me when you were ready. Why haven't you? I mean you've known him your entire life, and there's no doubt that you're in love with him."

"I don't know, I'm just scared, weren't you your first time?"

"I was fifteen and he was a popular senior, I was terrified. But I also wasn't in love and he wasn't my best friend and he wouldn't have taken on the world for me like you know Jude would for you."

"I know I love him, I just don't know if that's enough."

Alex sat in his English class waiting. The bell had rung over five minutes ago and there was still no sign of any teacher. Davis, entered the class quietly and took his seat. "Where's the teacher?" he asked Alex.

"No idea."

"So, I've been thinking. You and I need to meet some girls."

"We already know a bunch of girls."

"New girls, and what better way to do that, then to have a party."

"You want to throw a party?" Davis nodded.

"The parents are out of town this weekend, I think this is the perfect opportunity."

"Okay, and who do we invite to this party." Davis looked around the room, before getting out of his seat and climbing on top of his desk.

"Listen up everybody!" The entire class focused their attention on Davis. "There's a party this Saturday at my place. In celebratory of our win at this Friday's game."

"But you haven't won yet." Someone from the class informed him.

"Don't worry, we will. There's a cover charge of 20 bucks, but ladies get in for free. Spread the word!" Davis climbed back down and looked at an amazed Alex. "That's who we invite."

"You do realize half the school is going to show up, right?"

"The more the merrier."

"And if your parents find out?"

"Trust me, they won't."

"I know something you don't want me to know."

"What do you want Casey?" Johnny asked.

"I'm just trying to look out for my friend." She said, as she took as seat next to him at quad table.

"And what does this have to do with me?"

"That friend happens to be Jenny." Johnny sighed and turned towards her. "I know why you really broke up with her, and what you've been doing."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Johnny said, as he began placing his books in his bag.

"And you're keeping it in the cheerleader family, real classy. I have it narrowed down to two, and when I figure it out, and believe me I will, not only will Jenny know but so will everyone else."

"You're delusional Casey, Jenny and I just weren't right for each other, so don't waste your time looking for something that isn't there." Johnny left the table and began to walk to practice. Casey knew, or at least she thought she did. He and Sawyer were going to have to talk. They would need to make sure that no one would notice. He briefly considered ending the relationship, but quickly dismissed the idea, he wasn't ready to let her get away.

"It's been a while since I've talked to you."

"Yeah, well you've been a little preoccupied sucking face with my best friend." Sawyer smiled, letting Jude know that she was only joking. The two sat at the counter of Karen's Café, enjoying their practice free Saturday morning.

"What are you doing up so early?" Jude asked.

"I couldn't really sleep, eventually I got hungry and we all what happens when I try to cook."

"Yeah, that's a scary scene."

"Shut up, how come you're up at this hour? I know for a fact that your girlfriend is curled up in her big comfy bed, fast asleep." Jude held up several books that were placed on the stool next to him.

"I was at the library, when I too got hungry."

"You were at the library at 7:30 in the morning?"

"Davis decided to throw a party tonight. The parents are going to some movie premier in Raleigh so they'll be gone over night, and I figured if I wanted to get any homework done I had to do it early."

"So you don't have plans with a certain animal activist today?"

"Actually no, I don't. She's volunteering with the town, I think she's helping organize the Thanksgiving parade. She'll be at the party though."

"We all know it's not a party until Lydia Scott arrives." Sawyer joked. Jude laughed out loud.

"She's not one jump into the party scene."

"She doesn't really jump into anything, you guys are taking it pretty slow huh?"

"It took me a lot longer to get her. I don't want all of that time to be for nothing if I'm just going to screw things up by rushing her."

"She's not going to make you wait forever. She loves you, and the fact that you're not rushing her just makes her more comfortable, more eager."

"Are we really talking about this, isn't she like your sister?" Sawyer laughed.

"You're right, gross." The older lady who worked at the café placed a plate of pancakes in front of Sawyer who began to dig in. "So this party, it's kind of out of the blue no?"

"It's Davis's idea, some master scheme I'm sure."

"And are the parents aware of this master scheme?" Jude sighed.

"Probably not, but you know Davis, everything will work out." Sawyer thought about Davis and how everything would be okay for him. She wondered about everyone else, how would their lives turn out. She had yet to talk to Johnny in a while, and while she missed him she didn't miss the lies.

"Okay people, listen up! We have thirteen giant inflatable balloons to parade through the streets of Tree Hill. We have six floats that need to be finished, and we will need people to help with the snacks that we'll be handing out. I've put everyone's name on this list under a category, please find your name and then repot to your station, I'll be around to check on everyone later." Lydia watched as the middle aged housewife handed out papers to people, this was what this woman looked forward too. This parade was her whole life, they couldn't let her down. She quickly located her name on the list, under the category floats. She made her way over to them and a heavy set man who pointed her to a float with a giant turkey on it. She found only one person working on the float. They were stapling flowers to the side and had their back to her.

"Excuse me, do you need some help?" She asked. When the person turned around, Lydia immediately recognized the face. "Jenny?"

"Lydia, hi, I didn't know you were volunteering."

"Yeah, I thought it would be fun and a good way to get in the holiday spirit."

"Well, you can help me staple all these little flowers to the side, and then we have to put all the feathers on the turkey." Lydia picked up a stapler and began attaching the tiny flowers.

"So," Lydia began "classics was fun. Did you have a good time?"

"Yeah, I mean we won so that was cool. But the whole thing with Johnny was kind all I could think about."

"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot."

"No, it's okay. It just kind of sucks." Jenny knew that Lydia was one of Casey suspects, but now that it was known that she was dating Jude, Jenny knew there was no way that she hooked up with Johnny. "I love your boots." Jenny said, trying to change the conversation.

"Thanks." Lydia said, she looked down at the black motorcycle boots she was wearing. "Sawyer got them for me last Christmas." At the mention of Sawyer's name Jenny looked up.

"You guys have been friends for a long time huh?"

"Since we were babies, my mom is best friends with her dad."

"Is she dating anyone?" Jenny tried not to sound too interested, but she really wanted to know.

"No, Sawyer's an independent girl. You've met Davis. She's kind of like a female version of him, they do their own thing they don't need anybody else." Jenny wanted to know more, but decided not to push it. "What about you, now that you're single is there anyone your interested in?" Jenny laughed.

"No. This one might take a while to get over. I was in love."
