Chapter 1 - I'll Bury You

Brooke Scott flicked a rubber band at Haley James in detention. Haley gave her a mean look and stuck her tongue out at her. She and Haley had been caught skipping class, again. When detention was over Haley walked over to Brooke. "I can't believe you!" Haley frowned. "We got in so much trouble! If my parents find out about this, I am going to kill you Brooke!" Haley was always the perfect daughter, student and friend. Her parents were always away for work; this made Haley feel like the Scotts were her second family.

"How would they know? Aren't they in France this month?" Brooke asked as they walked to the gym. Hopefully, practice wasn't over yet; meaning Nathan could take them home. Right when they were at the gym doors, one flew open and hit Haley in the face. Blood started to pour out of her nose. "Haley!" Brooke said kneeling down to help Haley who had been hit so hard she was on the floor.

"Oh come on! Watch where you're going cheerleader!" Peyton Sawyer said angrily from the door. Brooke stood up to face Peyton.

"You hit her and now you're yelling?" Brooke and Peyton had been friends when they were younger, before Haley's family moved to Tree Hill. After Peyton's mom died, Peyton had shut everyone else out of her life, including her friends and even her own father.

Peyton scoffed at Brooke. "Go cheer about something." She said as she kicked Haley's book across the hallway. "Opps! My bad." She smiled. Peyton resented Haley for being Brooke's new best friend. Peyton wasn't close to anyone, except for Lucas Daniels, and that was only a physical thing anyway.

Brooke helped Haley get up and they walked to the restroom to clean up Haley's bloody nose. Brooke picked up Haley's book on the way. "It doesn't look broken." Brooke said as Haley looked at herself in the mirror. The blood had stopped running which was good but she still looked pretty bad.

"I hate her!" Haley yelled. "She walks around like everyone is her enemy!"

"Everyone is her enemy." Brooke said looking Haley's face in the mirror.

"Well, it's her own fault! If she wasn't such a bitch people would like her!" Haley grabbed her book and walked to the door. "I hope Nathan's giving us a ride."

They made their way back to the gym. Nathan was sitting on the bleachers with his friends. He looked at Brooke and Haley as they walked in. "I thought there was no cheer practice today. Why are you still here?" He asked.

"Detention." Brooke said flatly. Nathan looked at Haley.

"What's up with your nose?" He asked. Tim chuckled.

"The bitch formerly known as Peyton hit me with a door." Haley said grumpily.

"You should be thanking her." Lucas said from behind her. They all turned to look at him. "Maybe you can get a nose job now." He smiled.

"Leave her alone" Brooke replied. She always hated Lucas. He was always trying to compete with Nathan; he always wanted to prove he was better. Lucas grabbed Brooke's arm pulling her close to him.

"Make me." He pulled her even closer. He knew her protective brother, Nathan would be angered by this and he loved to push Nathan's buttons. Plus, it wasn't like Brooke was an ugly girl; she was really pretty and Lucas' type, if she put out, he would be all over her. "Anyone ever tell you, you're sexy when you're angry?" He whispered in her ear. Brooke tried to escape from Lucas' grip but he only held on tighter.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Nathan said standing up. He was getting angry and Lucas loved it.

"Why? She's into me." He said smiling. He moved in and kissed Brooke on the lips. She hit him to make him stop but his grip on her was so hard she was sure she would have bruises for weeks.

"Hey Lucas!" Jake said from his left. Lucas stopped kissing Brooke and turned to face Jake.

"What do you want Jagiel..." He couldn't even finish the sentence. Jake's fist connected with his jaw, he's grip of Brooke loosened but he still held her. Lucas gave a smile as he rubbed his jaw. "Okay," He grabbed Brooke's wrist twisting it until she screamed. "You want her? You can have her." Lucas threw Brooke at Jake like a rag doll. Jake caught her in his arms as Lucas made his way to the door.

"Hey!" Nathan called as he walked up to him. "If you ever touch my sister again, I'll bury you!" Nathan threatened. He was never a violent guy but Brooke was his little sister and it was his job to see that no one ever messed with her.

I hope you all liked it! Please R&R. Right now, I'm not sure on who I will pair up. If you have any suggestions let me know, not making any promises but I'll see.
