''You know what hit me today? These are our last cheerleader tryouts ever.'' Brooke grinned.

''Yeah, I'm really broken up about it.''

''Yeah, totally broken up.'' I sulk, knowing I wasn't going to be able to cheer.

''Come on, how can you not love tryout day? Just the smell of it! Like sports bras and desperation.'' Brooke explains, inhaling deeply.

''Hm, speaking of desperate; how's life in the 'non-exclusive' dating world?'' I ask with a smirk.

''Lucas isn't playing fair.''

''Maybe he's not playing at all.'' Peyton added.

''Exactly, I mean,... unless you count him dancing with that slut at the masquerade ball, he's been totally monogamous. He knows the rules. Why can't he just follow them?''

''Brooke, when're you gonna quit this crap and accept the fact that a really great guys wants to be with you?''

''He's my brother too, you could be my future sister-in-law.'' I laugh, wiggling my brows.

''Nothing good can come of this, OK? What're you gonna d? force Lucas to go out and see other people.''

''P. Sawyer, you are a genius.''

''OK, that is not what I meant.''

''Dear lord.''I huff.

''Um,...is this where we go for cheer tryouts?''

We all faced the stage to see a long line of girls.

''What tipped you off?'' I deadpanned.

''Go Ravens!''

''That was dull.'' I whisper to Peyton who giggled.

''Is this kid going all Star Wars.'' Peyton laughed.

'' Oh my god. Oh my god, I'm fine. Seriously, I'm fine, but... does this mean I didn't get it?'' The girl cheering had kicked her leg up and sprained something before going down.

''What part of this are we gonna miss again?'' P. Sawyer quirked her brow.

''One spot on the team and there's no one to fill it? Those ... dance auditions are for crap, the musical.''

We all laugh as Rachel, the girl who apparently took Luke from Brooke at the dance.

''Sorry, am I too late? I got lost. This... new campus is totally confusing. I'm Rachel, by the way. ''

''Really? I thought it was Pamela.'' Brooke snarks.

I tilt my head, trying to keep from laughing.

''Oh, right. The party. That guy wasn't your boyfriend, was he?''

Peyton and I both look at Brooke, waiting for an answer.

''OK, you were late, now you're just wasting my time. Just hit your mark and I'll start the song.''

''I actually bought my own song.Whenever you're ready.''

I pressed play on her song and laid back ready to watch.

To say Rachel was good was an understatement.. She was amazing, she kind of danced like a stripper, not that i think thats a bad thing.

''Remember when I could do that?'' I sigh watching Rachel do a split all the way to the floor.

''I'd like to thank you on behalf of myself and the group... and I hope we pass the audition.''

'' I'm sorry, what?!'' Brooke yelled.

''John Lennon.'' Peyton and I say together.

''The 'Let It Be' album..'' Peyton finished.

"Girl knows her music.'' I shrugged.

''Too bad she was late.Sorry, Betty, was it? We'll be in touch.''

''It's Rachel and I hope so.'' Rachel shot Brooke a look before she exits the room.

''So, I guess we found our girl, right?''

''oh, you just like her coz of that stupid BeeGees thing.''

''No, I like her because she's good.''

''Plus you too would be friends if it weren't for Lucas.'' I told her with a smirk.

''Why are you sitting on the bench while the team practices?'' I asked my twin as i sit beside him, handing him a blue gatorade.

''Nathan's on a power trip. Why are you here?''

''I got bored. Kam is with Danny and mom's busy. Decided I'd come watch hot guys sweat.''

''Damn right we're hot!''

''Not you Tim! Shut up!'' I yelled to the idiot.

''Plus i thought you and Nate might want something to drink.''

''How come he forgave you?''

''I'm pregnant. It's camo for everyone to think i'm fragile.'' I shrugged.

''Must be nice.''

''Not really. I watched Rachel try out for cheerleading and almost bawled right there.''

''Why?''

''She did the splits.... all the way to the floor.''

''You can do that.''

''No I could do that, now I'm not so sure. What if after I have my babies I can never do the splits again, and all I do is pee myself!''

Lucas laughs, shaking his head.

''You'll survive.''

''Thank you, Danny. That was a fine speech. However, you made one small error. I've just been told you'll be running opposed after all. Ladies and gentlemen, the candidate that I'm endorsing... Ms. Karen Roe. ''

I cheered loudly beside my mom, Kam and Danny. We were at Midnight Madness. The first pep rally of the basketball season. Dan was running for Mayor,.... But so is my mom. I cheered louder as the crowd began to cheer with me.

''IS EVERYBODY READY?! FOR 'MIDNIGHT MADNESS'! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! THE COUNTDOWN TO THE START OF THE SEASON IS ON! LET ME HERE YA! FIVE... FOUR... THREE... TWO... ONE! LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!'' Dan announced as the lights began to flicker.

''Brooke Davis and the squad are already in mint season form. And the newest cheerleaders: Haley James-Scott and Rachel Getina.'' Mouth announces.

I smile as I see the squad began to cheer, but it fell once I saw Rachel step in front of Brooke. Bad move.

''Brooke's going to fuck her up.'' Danny clapped, hoping for drama.

One second we were listening to Dan introduce the team and the next the Scott boys were all over each other, fighting. I stood, to get a better look and saw Brooke slap Rachel and the girl punch her in the nose. Peyton jumped in defense of our friend and tackled Rachel, choking her.

''Let's Go Peyton!!'' I cheered.

''Beat the skanks ass!'' Kam clapped.

''Can someone not separate them?"" i asked looking at the team struggling to get my brothers apart.
