Night of my life

Brooke Davis is a new girl in town. She's a cute girl with long dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. She used to live in L.A. with her mom but she moved to Tree Hill to live with her dad. She is a cheerleader and she wants to cheer Ravens.

After another win, Ravens had a party in some big house. Some guys had invited the new girl too.

"Why you always have to trace me? Why are you even talking to me?" Peyton asked Lucas when she tried to go up to the stairs.

„I'm just trying to be nice to you." Lucas answered and held her from falling down.

„I know guys. They always try to be nice to me if they want something. So what do you want?"

„Nothing."

They finally reached the top of stairs but Peyton almost fell down again.

„Okay. Then I can go home. Where are my keys?" She asked and tried to hold herself up. That wasn't easy at all after lots of drinking.

„You can't go home alone. You can't drive. Look at yourself! You're drunk as hell!"

„Ah, just give me a break. Go and find someone else to help."

"Fine. Then help yourself. I'm out of here."

Lucas ran downstairs and went to the living room. He was looking around and found a very beautiful girl, who was strange to him with some guy. He looked at them for a while. That guy seemed to be really interested in her but then something happened. The girl puked and that guy didn't seem to like it.

"Get off of me, bitch." The guy said and repelled the girl. She just fell down to the floor and no one seemed to notice it. Lucas didn't know what to do. He didn't know that girl. Maybe she's like Peyton – nasty and arrogant. But deep down in his heart he knew he couldn't leave her lying there. He approached her and gave her a hand. The girl grabbed his hand and pushed herself up. She seemed to be even more drunk than Peyton. Lucas dragged her outside and they sat down to a bench underneath the big willow near a little pond. When they sat down the girl puked again. Then she burst into tears and started wailing.

"I'm so pathetic. I'm popular, wanted and hot. I'm a cheerleader. I'm everything a guy wants. I can get any guy I want. But still I'm not happy."

"And that's why you are drinking?"

"Pretty much yes. I hate myself right now."

"Don't say that. You're a beautiful girl. I'm pretty sure you will find the guy who's right for you and he will make you happy."

"How do you know that?"

"I promise you. You will be happy."

Hearing a word 'happy' made her cry even more. She put her head to Lucas' chest and Lucas wrapped his arms around her.

Next day Lucas had a game and when he walked to the gym he was really surprised to see the girl from the party stretching with other girls. He just stood at the door and looked at her. He stepped in and walked to coach without taking his eyes off of that girl. He noticed that girl is smiling to him and he smiled back. He didn't think she would remember him because she was too drunk last night. But the girl stood up and walked up to him.

"Hi. Are you the guy who helped me last night at the party?"

"Yes, I am."

"I just wanted to say thank you. I couldn't even imagine what would have happened if you wouldn't took me away."

"It's okay."

Girl smiled to Lucas, turned around and started walking but stopped then.

"By the way, I'm Brooke. Brooke Davis." She said and gave a seductive smile to Lucas.

"I'm Lucas. Lucas Scott." Lucas answered with a sweet smile.

Brooke walked back to other girls and they all giggled. Only Peyton looked like she's miles away from reality.

During the game, Lucas couldn't keep his eyes off of Brooke. After the game, Peyton walked up to him.

"I can see you have your eye on the new girl already."

"We talked a bit at the party. Nothing more."

"Yeah. And you left me sleeping in the middle of the hallway."

"I wanted to help you."

"Yeah, you wanted. But Brooke was way more important, right?"

"You sent me away and didn't want my help. I can't help you if you don't want to."

"What an amazing friend you are. Thanks for nothing!"

Peyton walked away furiously. She walked out, not to Nathan. And Nathan didn't seem to like it. So he walked up to Lucas to talk some things through.

"Hey you. Keep your hands off my girlfriend."

"She came to me. So tell her to keep off of me."

"Yeah right."

Nathan and his mates walked away. After awhile Lucas set himself to go home but he went to the river court instead. After some time just sitting there, he heard someone approaching him. He turned around and he saw Brooke.

"Hey cutie. Why are you sitting here alone? Shouldn't you be celebrating another win right now?"

"I guess I should but I don't have mood for this."

"Oh. What's wrong?" Brooke asked with a bit carping voice and sat next to him.

"Actually nothing. I just didn't feel like going."

"And what makes you feel better?"

"I don't know."

"But tell me what bothers you."

"You know, there are lots of things that bother me. Right now I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I hate that basketball team but I can quit it. I have to fight back. I hate Nathan. And I hate my dad."

"What's up with Nathan? He's a great guy, isn't he?"

"He is my half-brother, that's what's up with him."

"Really? Oh, yeah. You are both Scotts. I couldn't think about something like that. I thought it's just a coincidence. So, Dan Scott is your father then?"

"Yeah, unfortunately. And they both are scared that I'm a better player than Nathan. That's why he doesn't leave me alone."

"And I thought he is a nice guy. But his girlfriend Peyton is really cool girl."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, she's my only friend around here!"

"But what about me? I'm not your friend?"

"Of course you are. She's my only girlfriend. You know, it's pretty hard to win the adherence of other cheerleaders if you are a new girl.

"So you like cheer leading and you're happy with your life?"

"Yeah. Why shouldn't I?"

"You spoke differently last night."

"I was drunk! I didn't even know my name."

They both laughed and then suddenly their looks met. Those hazel eyes looked deep into those blue eyes. That was the moment of silence.

"Look. I have to go home now." Brooke suddenly broke the silence, like she was scared of something.

"It was really good to have a chat with you." Lucas said to her and took her hands. "I hope we will talk again. Soon."

Brooke answered with a sweet smile and started walking away.

"Wait. I can ride you home." Lucas stopped her.

They both jumped to the car and drove away.
