A/N Just wanted to say that this is in fact going to be a brathan, the beginning will be brucas though. Also this is my first fan fic ever, so any reviews at all are helpful. I also listen to all suggestions, so message me or leave a review :)
My name's Brooke Davis, you may know me as the bitchy cheerleader from your high school or maybe you've seen my designs clothes/bro's, but those are just some of my labels, but really those labels don't define who I am. In my life only three people have ever actually known me for me. Who those people are you ask, those people are the same ones that give me support, heart ache, and even the will to survive.
Peyton Sawyer, she's been my best friend for as long as I can remember. She is the kind of friend that has always been there for me, and I know I can always count on her. We have had plenty of our ups and downs, like any friendship. Just recently though we had one of biggest downs, I actually fear we can't fix it this time... anyways I can explain all of that later next up
Lucas Scott. Here is the one boy that could turn my world upside down with just one look. He is, well was, my first and only love. He knew me better than I knew myself sometimes...look at me talking in past tense, you are all thinking he is dead or something, well if only that was the case, no Lucas Scott is very much alive, just no longer in my life... well lets not lose focus, Lucas is only part of this story..
Nathan Scott, this boy has been my rock for about almost as long as Peyton. I would do anything for Nathan, as would he do anything for me. Now I know you are thinking him and Lucas have the same last name, well that's a very long story but to keep it simple they have the same dad different moms, but this story isn't about Dan and his asshole ways, this story is about me, Brooke Davis.
So now that you know a little bit about the people in my life, lets start with why some are no longer in my life.
Me, Peyton, and Nathan, the three amigos have mean best friends for as long as I can remember, me being head cheerleader, Peyton being on the squad, and Nathan being captain of the tree hill ravens basketball team, we ran the halls of tree hill high. All the girls wanted to be me and Peyton or at least just so they could get close to Nathan, like all the guys wanted to be Nathan, and again just to be able to hang out with me or my curly haired bff. That's how life for us used to be, run the school, enjoy the benefits that came with popularity, and just live day by day, well that was going fine until the day Lucas Scott joined the team.
Now Nathan wasn't really mean to Lucas as you would think he would be, but instead he just pretty much ignored him as if he didn't exist. Well that was working fine for the past how many years, but it all changed the day Lucas was announced co captain. Nathan thought it was just some cruel joke whitey was playing on him for being his "diva" of a self, my word not his. Well if only it was a joke, because the day Lucas Scott joined the tree hill ravens was the day that changed my life as I know it. I never really noticed Lucas before that day, I mean I knew who he was of course being Nathan's best friend, but I never really took the chance to notice just how good looking the other Scott brother was, or how nice he was, well again that all changed in one day. I remember the day like it was yesterday...
"Hey P. Sawyer" I said looking at my brooding best friend as we were getting ready for the first day of cheer practice. "Hey B. Davis" Peyton said in a way that was just screaming I'm in a bad mood.
"What's Wrong goldilocks", I say expecting some answer to do with having to be a cheerleader again this year, and Peyton hated being a cheerleading and really the only real reason she is on the squad is because I pretty much force her. Now if only Peyton's answer had to be something so superficial but no it had to be something much more serious.
"Whitey just announced a new co captain", "oh Nathan must be so upset", I say concerned "if only it was just that, the new co captain is Lucas" I froze, I knew Nathan was going to be furious, not only is he loosing his main title, but to Lucas of all people.
" That can't be, I mean Lucas hasn't even played basketball for the ravens, how can he be announced co captain on his first day", I said getting worked up
" relax Brooke, I mean its not like your Nathan right now, and really as messed up as it is to say maybe it could be a reality check to Nathan"
" How can you even say such things P. Sawyer!", I add getting even more upset " I mean Nathan is our best friend you can actually be taking Lucas's side in this"
"Brooke do you hear yourself, you are acting as if Lucas has no feelings, I get you are standing behind Nathan, but really Whitey wouldn't have had made Lucas co captain if he wasn't good"
At the time I didn't get why Peyton was defending Lucas, now I know why but I remember in that moment I was so shocked at what she was saying, I almost feel foolish now for not noticing what was soon to happen in the near future...gosh look at me I am rambling on again about things that you know nothing about yet.. well anyways lets continue
" I guess you are right goldilocks, but still I cant say I am at all happy for this, just look at Nathan", I say taking the time to look over at the raven haired boy who had a look of hurt and anger plastered to his face.
"like I said, he could use a reality check" before I could try and defend Nathan, Whitey had called all the players and cheerleaders over to make an announcement.
"Now I want you all to know that you are doing a wonderful job, but to help us out I enlisted the help of Lucas Scott, now I know some of you are not going to want this change, but you are all going to have to suck it up, I am the coach and its my decision. With that being said I would like Lucas to come out and join us in practice"
Every head in the room turned at the sound of the large gym doors opening, revealing the boy in question.
It was the first time I actually took the time to notice Lucas, he was gorgeous, and had this gleam about him that I just couldn't look away from, that was until Nathan sent me a glare.
"wow I never knew Lucas was so hot", I whispered to Peyton, "really... I guess if you say so.. yeah he is" Peyton said as if she didn't care. I guess my best friend gage was off or just blinded by Lucas being around cause I didn't pick up on the Peyton was acting, or maybe I just chose to ignore it, if only I would have taken the time to notice it... me getting carried away again.
As much as I would have loved to go talk to Lucas and introduce myself I knew I would have other chances, and I knew that my best friend needed me.
Nathan was now sitting down at the bleachers since whitey had given a break from practice for the team and squad to get re-accaquainted
"you okay", I say taking a seat down next to Nathan. "yeah, I'm fine, my ego might be a little bruised though", Nathan says trying to laugh off the pain. "well we will just have to fix that know wont we, you know I hear Bevin likes you, I can totally set that up, I say half jokingly. "well as much as I would love to have a one night stand with some cheerleaders, I think that part of my life is over now", said Nathan in a serious tone.
I was shocked that Nathan Scott saying he was done with one nighters I mean he was the king of them, I was utterly speechless for about a minute, ok maybe that isn't a long time for some, but anyone that knows Brooke Davis knows that not talking and her don't mix... wow I am starting to talk in third person I should really get back on topic.. where was I, oh yeah Nathan wanting more from girls.
" wow nate that is pretty great, I mean I wish I could say the same for myself" I say in a joking way trying to lighten up the mood. " you really should give yourself a little credit Brooke.. you are better than that" is all Nathan had to say before getting up and going to warm up for practice.
Now if you thought I was speechless before, you should have seen me then. Nathan had never spoke to me like that, I really didn't know what had came over him, okay maybe I did know, it was a certain brooding blonde who practically every girl on my squad was trying to flirt with.
Seeing all the girls throw themselves at Lucas got me really annoyed, I couldn't explain all I knew what the next thing I did was
" Girls, practice is about to begin, everyone front and center now" I yelled out to much the dismay of the squad. I saw a few of them hug Lucas goodbye and whisper things in his ear, honestly it just made me want to be sick, I hope I never looked like that when I was trying to flirt with a guy.
Practice was now over and Nathan and Peyton both left before I even got a chance to say goodbye or more importantly ask for a ride. Bevin took me to school but I knew she said she couldn't drive me home, I was really counting on nate and Peyton to take me, but now I guess I was stuck walking home. I hated walking home, and especially after practice.
I was on my home when suddenly a car started going slower until finally it was going the same speed as my walking pace. I was terrified I though I was going to get raped or something, just as I was reaching for my pepper spray in my bag, the window rolled down to reveal no other than Lucas Scott.
"looks like you need a ride", he says coyly. "really, thanks for pointing out the obvious" I say a little more harshly than intended "well if you don't want one its fine my me" "no wait, thank you" I manage to get out.
The car comes to a full stop and I get into the passenger side. The ride was almost silent for the first 5 minutes, I didn't really know what to say I mean I barely knew him and I was best friends with Nathan, who by the way would be furious to know I was in the car with Lucas at the moment.
"so your head cheerleader right", Lucas says trying to make conversation. "yeah, and you are the new co captain" I say trying not to have to much bitterness attached
"you know I didn't ask for that right, I can see why Nathan may be upset, but I never asked for any of this, I never asked to have Dan be my dad, and I sure the hell didn't ask for whitey to put me on the team. he just saw me playing at the river court and offered. I really wanted to say no, I was planning on saying no, but my uncle Keith convinced me to say yes." Lucas said opening up
I didn't really know how to reply I mean how does anyone reply to something like that.
" I know Lucas, and Nathan will get over it eventually, and I'm sorry I have been kind of rude to you, I mean here you are giving me a ride home and I am just be so ungrateful" I really didn't know why I just said what I said it was like word vomit, Lucas had me acting really strange around him.
"thanks, and don't worry about it you are just backing up your friend" Lucas adds
We had finally reached my house, and the car had came to a stop.
" Thanks for the ride" I say " your welcome", he adds. before I was all the way out of the car he stops me "it Lucas by the way, I don't think we were ever properly introduced. "nice to meet you Lucas, I'm Brooke I add smiling before exiting the car. I was shocked by my actions, was I actually flirting with Lucas Scott of all people.
I didn't know for sure.. but in that moment I knew thats when it all changed.
Wow nothing like a stroll down memory lane. I am going to admit re-living that day hurts just a little, but all I can say is this is only just a chapter of my life, and trust me by the end of this book you will have even more labels to add to the name Brooke Davis.
So that's it, chapter one. Tell me what you think, even if its not good, as i said any suggestions are great. When i update depends on review, if i get atleast one good review i will update real soon. Promise!
