Part 3: Chapter 2

The next morning at the Scott household, Lily and Jamie walked out of the house. Jamie carried Lily's suitcase and put it in the trunk of his car.

"Thank you so much Jamie," Lily said.

"Are you kidding me?" Jamie asked. "I love going to the airport. They have the best pretzels."

"I wish you could come," Lily said.

"I know," Jamie said. "But I'm spending Christmas with my mommy and daddy. And besides, the day after Christmas I'm going to Maine to visit Lucas and Peyton."

"You mean to visit Lucas," Lily said. "Whenever you and Lucas are around each other, you're inseparable."

"So are you and Peyton," Jamie said.

At that moment, Aaron rode up on his motorcycle.

"Not now," Lily said.

Aaron stopped his motorcycle and took off his helmet.

"Hello Lily," Aaron said.

"How did you find out where I live?" Lily asked.

"After I followed you home yesterday," Aaron said.

"Stalker," Lily said.

"I've come to ask you if you want that ride I offered yesterday," Aaron said.

"No," Lily said. "I said no yesterday and I'm saying no today. No."

"Lily please?" Aaron asked. "I'm not the stereotypical bad boy."

"Yes you are," Lily said. "Now if you excuse me, my cousin Jamie here was about to drive me to the airport."

"The airport?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah," Lily replied. "I'm going to New Hampshire to spend Christmas with my mom and my stepfather."

"When will you be back?" Aaron asked.

"Not telling you," Lily said. "Now if you excuse me, I have to go. Come on Jamie."

"Well have fun in New Hampshire," Aaron said before starting his motorcycle back up and driving away.

Jamie and Lily got into Jamie's car and buckled up.

"Does he go to our school?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah," Lily replied. "He started yesterday and apparently he likes me."

"Why don't you go out with him?" Jamie asked.

"I just met him yesterday and this isn't a 'Hallmark' movie," Lily said. "Now will you please shut up and drive?"

"Guess what song I'm going to put into my CD player!" Jamie exclaimed.

"Oh no," Lily said.

Jamie started his car, got out one of his mixed CDs, and popped it into the CD player. "Shut Up and Drive" by Rihanna began blasting through the speakers.

"No!" Lily screamed.
