Hey guys, this is my first One Tree Hill fanfic, so please give me some feedback! Thanks :)
HPOV
It's a normal day at school and I'm talking to one of my friends Jason. I think he is kind of cute... but he is no Nathan. But he is a really nice guy and is always there for me... and he is actually talking to me unlike Nathan.
At the thought of him, I look over at the lunch table that consists of him, Lucas, Peyton, Brooke, and Rachel. It's been six months since I've been back in Tree Hill and Brooke is the only one that will really tak to me anymore. I have tried so hard to get Nathen to forgive me, but it's no use. It kills me to see him at parties with random girls. That's supposed to be me! I have tried talking and apologizing to him countless times, but he won't listen. Lucas is in, what looks like, a very intense conversation with Peyton. Lucas and I have made ammends, but it's not like how it used to be. When I got back from the tour, he wouldn't talk to me for a couple months because he was so mad at me, and that just put a toll on our friendship after that. Now we are more like acquaintances instead of friends. On the other hand, there is Peyton. She, for some ungodly reason, cannot stand me. She will find a flaw in whatever I am doing and she will make it known to everyone. Then there is Brooke, my best friend at the moment, looking on toward Nathan and Rachel with a look of pure disgust written on her face. Of course Rachel is blatantly flirting with Nathan for the whole school to see. When I came back from the tour, sure she was a little angry with me, but she got over it and forgave me. Now we are living together in the apartment I used to share with Nathan. She made me join the cheerleading squad, so now everyday I have to see Nathan at practice and watch as Rach-ho is all over him. I look back at Jason and he is still talking about a party he is invited to this Saturday, but he isn't sure if he's going to go yet.
"Why wouldn't you go?" I ask him.
"Well, I was kind of wondering if you would maybe want to go on a date this Saturday... with me." my eyes widened in shock as he said this, and when he noticed he said, " I know that we are just friends, but I really hate seeing you sad and I just want you to have a good time and a have fun..." I interrupted him.
"I thought that I ramble a lot." I tease sticking my tongue out at him and we both start laughing. I glance toward the table again. Nathan is obviously flirting back at Rachel. I guess he really doesn't care about me anymore. I guess i need to move on. I look back at Jason and tell him, "Oh, what the hell..."
"What?" He asks.
"I'll go on a date with you." I say.
"Really?"
"Yes really" I giggle. "Just let me know what time."
"Okay, thanks, I'll talk to you later" He said as he turned and walked away with a huge smile on his face.
I start walking toward the table I was looking at only a couple minutes ago. "Hey Brooke, can I talk to you for a second?" I ask, impatiently waiting for her to get up and walk away with me.
"Sure Tutorgirl" She agreed as she swings her legs over the bench she is sitting on.
"What you have more secrets you want to hide?" Peyton spoke up.
"No Peyton, I don't." I said back with as much confidence I could muster up in that moment.
"Then why can't you say it in front of all of us?" she shot back in her venomous tone.
"Honestly, it's none of your business Peyton. It's not any of your business, but Brooke's. You all HATE me so why should I tell you anything? But if you really must know," I said, turning to face Brooke, "I'm going on a date!"
