Friends and Lovers

Chapter one

Monday, September 14

Julian Baker waited by his locker impatiently, wondering where she was.

For as long as he could remember he had been best friends with Peyton Sawyer, but now that they were Juniors in High School his feelings were beginning to change...

That's why we had asked her to meet him before class. So he could ask her out.

A minute later he smiled as he saw her running towards him.

"Julian!" Peyton called out as she reached his locker. "You'll never guess what happened last night!"

"What?" Julian asked with a smile.

Peyton's green eyes lit up. "Lucas asked me out!"

"Lucas?" Julian repeated in dismay. "As in Lucas Stuck-Up is my middle name Scott?"

Peyton rolled her eyes. "You know he's not that bad."

"Who's not that bad?" A voice behind Peyton asked.

Both Julian and Peyton turned to see Lucas standing there holding one hand behind his back.

"Never mind." Peyton said, giving Julian a warning look, before turning her attention to Lucas

"What do you have back there?"

"What? This." Peyton asked, as he produced a single red rose and handed it to Peyton with a sweeping bow.

"For you Mademoiselle."

Julian gritted his teeth as he watched Peyton's eyes light up.

"Lucas! That's so sweet." She gushed, smelling the rose.

Julian watched with Lucas with distrust.

He knew Lucas Scott's reputation with girls, he romanced them and then discarded them without a thought. He didn't want that to happen to Peyton.

However, she was completely clueless and leaned over and gave Lucas a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you."

Lucas smiled and took her hand. "You're welcome. Can I walk you to class?"

"Of course!" Peyton answered, then she looked over at Julian. "I'll see you later, okay?"

"Okay." Julian answered glumly, wondering why Peyton was so blind. Lucas Scott was scum.

"Why can't she see how good we'd be together?" He whispered. "Is it because I don't lay the charm on extra-thick like Lucas Scott?"

He sighed. He should have seen this coming.

He had known that Peyton had a small crush on Lucas, after all he had caught her watching him across the cafeteria few times. He had also seen Lucas checking her out a couple times when Julian and Peyton had been hanging out at .

Still, he had never thought that Lucas would actually ask her out. After all, she wasn't the type that he usually pursued. And even if that had happened, he would have thought that Peyton had more sense. Everything was so mixed up. He never would have seen any of this coming, but he should have. He should have asked Peyton out sooner.

Just then the bell rang, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Damn!" Julian exclaimed, slamming his locker shut and walking towards his class, wondering what he was going to do about Peyton.

At the same time Brooke Davis was staring at her mother in horror.

"We're moving to Tree Hill?" She asked in shock.

Brooke's mom looked at her daughter with sympathy. "Yes honey, we are. I have a great job waiting for me."

"So?!" Brooke exclaimed. "Then you go, have fun I'll stay here"

"I don't think so. I want to move."

" But I don't!" Brooke yelled.

"I know." She said with a sigh. "But can you give it a chance?"

"I'll try." Brooke said, making a face. "But this means I'll have to start over in a new school."

"It'll be fine Brooke, you'll fit in perfectly."

"I hope so." Brooke said, though she didn't really believe it.

Okay People, I know it short, I'm sorry for that. I promise to have the next update soon, maybe tonight. Please reviews and thanks for reading.
