Chapter One

If Every One Cared

It was another typical day at school. Everyone was sitting in their own groups on the quad. The cheerleaders were laughing, some of the jocks were staring the cheerleaders and everyone else was doing there usual thing. It's been one of the first days things have back to normal since the time capsule was released last week.

The basketball players were on the bus back to school from practice at the gym Whitey made the fix up.

Lucas's phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Luke! I'm not going to be able to meet you on the quad this morning. I am waiting in the tutor center for Haley because I have to ask her a question on a Calculus assignment." Peyton said.

"Ok. That's fine. Ill see you sometime today in school then."

Lucas hung up.

"Who was that?" Nathan asked even though it was none of his business and he knew it.

"Oh it was just Peyton. I was supposed to meet her this morning but she cancelled and I know what you are thinking and there is nothing going on between me and Peyton. I don't think of her that way. And besides, I am dating Brooke." Lucas always got frustrated when people assumed there was something going on.

"Whatever you say." Nathan loved to get Lucas all frustrated even though he knew those two would never be together.

Haley and Brooke were walking into the school. Brooke and Haley have really grown to be good friends. Last year at this time they felt like they were on totally different planets.

They were just getting ready to walk through the glass doors when they saw Jimmy Edwards holding a gun at shoulder height. Haley and Brooke were completely shocked and then Haley pulled Brooke to the floor and a shot went off. All hell broke loose. People were dropping there books and running out the door as they pushed people over.

As Lucas, Nathan, and the rest of the team got off the bus people were running everywhere and screaming for there friends and loved ones.

"What is going here?" a shocked Whitey asked to no one in particular.

The whole team stood there watching everyone run around. All of a sudden Haley came running up to Nathan who stood next to Lucas.

"Someone has a gun and they're shooting!" Haley yelled over the ruckus.

As she said that they heard three more gun shots. Whitey managed to here what Haley said.

" Oh god! Everyone back on the bus!" Whitey yelled at the team.

"I was walking into the school with Brooke and a shot was fired and now I can't find her!" Haley voice quivered as she talked.

"Wait, Brooke was shot?" Lucas was terrified for her girlfriend's life.

"No, I don't think so. It all just happened so fast!" Haley was crying now.

Lucas started running around yelling for Brooke and then he remembered that Peyton was in the Tutor Center waiting for Haley. Haley loaded the bus

At the same time

Peyton was in the Tutor Center with Rachel, Skillz, Abby, Jimmy, a kid named Eric. She locked the doors and everyone sat down against the wall. They all just sat there, terrified. No one said anything.

"Boys, get on the bus!" Whitey yelled at Lucas and Nathan.

"Brooke's inside!" Lucas started running toward one of the entrances to the school.

"Don't worry, Coach, I got him." Nathan went running after Lucas and tackled him to the ground.

"What the hell are you doing man? Brooke is inside!" Lucas got up and ran into the school. Nathan ran after him.
