Chapter 1-Absentee Parents and Crappy Boyfriends:
It was Friday and Brooke Davis was standing in the middle of her walk in closet surrounded by clothes. She was holding a halter top and a mini skirt but put it back quickly. She knew she couldn't wear that outfit because of Nathan Scott. Nathan was Brooke's boyfriend since 9th grade and they were now seniors. Nathan is Mr. Hot shot you know the type that are all cocky and they know they are hot. He is exactly like that except ten times worse. Brooke knew that Nathan wasn't good for her but she couldn't leave him. He loved her. And apparently she loved him too. Brooke has been blessed with good looks ever since she was little. With her chestnut colored hair, chocolaty brown eyes, and her infamous dimpled smile she was indeed very hot. All the guys loved her and wanted to get with her while some girls either hated her for looking so good or some girls adored her. If you were Brooke's friend she would be the sweetest thing to you but if you were her enemy she would bitch you out like no other.
Brooke found a pair of dark wash jeans and a red cashmere sweater. She put the clothes on and went downstairs; she grabbed a water bottle and waited by the door for Nathan to pick her up. As of now he was 3 minutes late. Brooke knew she would have to wait even longer because that was just the way Nate was. Her phone vibrated and she pulled out the red razr. She opened up her phone and saw that Peyton had texted her.
Peyton: Word on the street is there is a party at Nathan's tonight…is that true? If so why didn't I find out about it from you???
Brooke: Well, I guess you found out before me cuz I never heard this… As always Nathan is late again… r u excited for game tonight??
Peyton: Obviously I am, we get to cheer!!
Brooke put her phone away and smiled. Peyton Sawyer was Brooke's best friend even though they were complete opposites! Brooke loved to party, drink and shop while Peyton liked to draw and listen to angry rock music. They had two things in common, one was they were both on the Cheer squad and the other was both had absentee parents. Brooke's mom and dad were always gone on business trips; life in the corporate world leaves you very busy. Peyton's mom died when she was 9 and her dad has a job that had him going out to sea for months at a time. Brooke put her bag on the ground and sat on a chair in the foyer. Brooke's house was like a mini-mansion. It was a beautiful house with white French pillars and a balcony over looking the front lawn. They had a pool, hot tub, and a pool house. Brooke's room had a balcony overlooking the pool and often used that balcony to escape her problems. She would grab her iPod and a bottle of liquor and she would drink the pain away. Everyone at school thought that Brooke led the perfect life, but the truth was her life was anything but perfect. The only thing she has is her best friend Peyton. Some might wonder what about her boyfriend but they were either fighting or having sex so that didn't leave much time to talk. Just then she heard a car honk. She looked out the window and saw Nathan's black Mustang. He was officially 13 minutes late. His family just like hers is messed up. His dad knocked up two women; he cherishes Nathan but hates Lucas, Nathan's half brother. This year Lucas joined the basketball team and Nathan hated the fact that Lucas was almost as good as him maybe even better. That was one thing Nathan and Brooke had in common, they both have horrible parents. Dan Scott always rides Nathan's ass to be a better player, and that only makes Nathan meaner. Unlike Lucas, Nathan is a jerk; he takes after his dad in so many ways. His looks are definitely like his dad's- raven colored hair and intense blue eyes. While, Lucas has sandy blonde hair and light blue eyes. Brooke doesn't know Lucas that well but from what she has seen he seems like a great guy. He doesn't deserve any of the crap that Nathan sends his way. Brooke locked up her house, well it's her parent's house but since they are never there she might as well call it her own. She entered the Mustang and sat down breathing in Nathan's Hollister cologne.
"Good morning gorgeous," Brooke said kissing Nathan's cheek. She only got a grumble in return, "I'm guessing you didn't have a good night?"
"I'm guessing you're right." Nathan said keeping his eyes on the road. The radio was playing some trashy 50 cent song.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Brooke asked turning down the music but in return all she got was Nathan turning it back up even longer.
"Long story short, Lucas's mom is dying of breast cancer so he is moving in with us after the weekend, what a great time that will be." Nathan said bobbing his head to the music as he crossed a bridge.
"I'm sorry baby; oh by the way is there a party tonight at your house?" Brooke asked leaning her head against the window.
"Yeah, my parents are having a weekend to themselves at some hotel in Charleston. So I thought it would be a great time to have one final party before Pucas moves in." Nathan said putting his hand on Brooke's upper thigh.
"Well, thanks for telling me, you know your girlfriend." Brooke said with a sigh before pushing Nathan's hand away.
"I'm sorry okay; I haven't really talked to you in a while." Nathan said pulling into a parking space at Tree Hill High.
"Whatever Nathan, I'll see you later I guess." Brooke said before getting out of the car and walking into the school. Peyton saw Brooke but Brooke just kept walking so she grabbed onto Brooke's bicep (if you could even call it that) and pulled her towards Peyton.
"Ouch, easy on the arm." Brooke said rubbing her arm.
"I barely even grabbed you, what's your problem?" Peyton said running a hand through her curly blonde hair, she was talking to Brooke but her green eyes were on Lucas Scott. She knew that her and Lucas would get along great, they had talked a few times and they had so much in common. Like their love for Travis and NOFX. They even looked kind of similar. But she knew that would never work, Brooke was with Nathan and as long as Peyton was best friends with Brooke it just wouldn't work. Truthfully she wanted Brooke and Nathan to break up, Nathan was a jerk to Brooke and she did nothing about it. Brooke had changed so much since 9th grade the cheerful girl had turned into the bitchy girl. Brooke used to be nice to everyone but now not so much.
"Nothing, just another pointless fight with Nathan." Brooke said smiling at Lucas who was walking down the hall with his nerdy girl friend who was wearing an ugly flower poncho.
"Well, there's a shocker." Peyton said her voice dripping with sarcasm, while pulling off her sweatshirt to reveal a t-shirt with the band NOFX on it.
"Shut up, Peyt," Brooke said grabbing her Calculus books. "I'm failing Calculus and my parents called me yesterday for like the first time in like a month and they were like you need to pass Calculus or else we aren't sending you and your friends to Jamaica over Christmas. I mean since when are they responsible parents."
"Well, that sucks, I would offer to tutor you but since I don't know much more about it than you I wouldn't be much help." Peyton said as they walked down the hall to Brooke's Calculus class.
"Thanks anyway P.Sawyer I don't know what I would do without you." Brooke joked as she stopped in front of her math room.
"You'd die of boredom." Peyton said "Nah, I'm just kidding nothing would be different at all."
"Yeah right, have fun in History; I'll see you in lunch?" Brooke asked as Lucas walked past her and into the room.
"Definitely, save me seat." Peyton said before walking off into the distance. Brooke then sat down in her assigned seat across from Lucas. She looked over and saw the good looking boy and her mind started to wander. Life was about to get interesting.
