Disclaimer: I don't own anything, you already knew that.

Pairing/Background: Jake and Peyton for sure... then I don't know. But I love AU and UC, so you might get the idea of that. I'm trying a different angle in here. I've been writing angst for a long time now and I want to get some funny, witty, flirty fic out there, one that can capture the spirit of one of my fav movies, 10 things I hate about you.

Dedicated to: Creative Souls, TWC, Karen's Café. Mara, Sam, Ivonne, Janet, Critta, Majo and Sassy for their unconditional friendship and support.

Prologue

Lucas Roe walked through the halls of his new school, Tree Hill High. It really sucked, to move to another town right in his Senior Year. None of his friends were there, he knew nobody... it was going to suck. Big time.

And now he had to meet the kid that was going to show him around campus. He was probably one of the major losers at School, if he had agreed to do that task.

"Lucas Roe?" he heard someone saying from behind him and Lucas turned around.

In front of him was a tall brunette guy with a letter jacket.

"Hey, I'm Nathan Scott... I'm supposed to show you around"

"Nice to meet you" Lucas said

"You too" replied Nathan as they shook hands. "So what brings you to our lovely, yet boring town?"

"My mom set up a Café in here..." sighed Lucas "We had to move"

"Ok, here are the basics, bro" Nathan replied "This is like any other school. You have jocks, nerds, bohemian, popular and wanna be's. We play basketball, so don't go on quoting football cause no one would care..."

"You play?" asked Lucas

"Yeap. Star shooter, or something like that" nodded Nathan

They were walking down the halls and people were pointing at Nathan and laughing. Nathan sighed...

"What happened?" asked Lucas

"Yesterday I was their God" replied Nathan "But Tim Smith, a two faced jock, decided to spread all around School that I used to wet my bed until the 7th grade... bastard"

Lucas could not help but laughing... and then his eyes spotted the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen...

"Who is that?" he asked "I perish, I'll die if her name I cannot ask"

Nathan looked at him "A bookworm, uh?" and then his eyes followed Lucas' gaze. He chuckled "Forget it men... forget it. That is out of everyone's league"

"Who is she?" Lucas asked

"Haley Sawyer... the prettiest girl of Junior year, if not the entire School... but forget it, Lucas... you cannot have her. No one can..."

"What? Why?" said Lucas before he was almost ran over a mass of blond curls that passed him by...

"That is why... Lucas, meet the shrew..." said Nathan

Tell me what you think..
