This is my first story I have ever written. This is based on the beginning of One Tree Hill where Brooke wants to go out with Lucas and Haley starts to notice Nathan while Peyton is left out of the circle for a little bit.


"Hey, Luke! Don't you think that it is about time to take me on that date?" –Brooke

"I guess I have made you wait long enough. I'll be at your house at six." –Lucas

Meanwhile Lucas had to go pick up Nathan for practice since his car broke down.

"I see your actually being nice to me for once in your lifetime" stressed Lucas.

"You're good on the court and we need you out there, that's all I want from you." Nathan said.

"So why did you have me pick you up today then? Do you want Peyton to think that we are getting along? I know that she wants you to be nice to me." Asked Luke.

"She needs to stay out of my business. I see the way she looks at you and if that doesn't stop she won't be seeing much of me any longer"

"That's your girlfriend, don't you think you should be taking some her advice?"

"What on being friends with you? You are my brother, I don't have to be your friend. I haven't been your friend for sixteen years and it is not about to start now."

"Whatever, don't act like I care about your relationship with Peyton anyway. I'm taking Brooke on a date tonight."

Shocked by the news Nathan just shook his head and looked out the window the rest of the ride to practice.

"Okay boys, tonight is going to be a short one because I have some stuff to take care of tonight. Let's start with a couple running drills, shall we." Whitey said with a smirk on his face.

After only a half hour of practice Whitey decided that it was enough for the night. Not knowing what Whitey had to go take care of all the boys just left. Lucas had to go prepare for his date and stopped by his mother's cafe before going to get Brooke.

"Lucas Scott where have you been? Your Mother has been looking for you for the past two hours!" Haley shouted right when Luke walked in.

"Well Hales, are you sure you want to hear the truth?"

"I'm your best friend Luke. I always want to hear the truth no matter how bad it is."

"I'm going on a date with Brooke Davis tonight. I know you have never approved of her, but I think you could be friends with her after you get to know her."

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME LUKE? Of all the girls in our class and you choose her? You know how she can be!"

"I see the way you look at Nathan, and you know how he can be Hales."

"Your brother Nathan? I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, he is taken by the one and only Peyton Sawyer."

"Whatever Hales. I see you every day. We are best friends after all remember?"

After Haley storms into the back, Lucas decides it is time to go pick up Brooke. Not knowing what he had coming for him, Luke drives to Brooke's house.

"Well you're finally here sexy." Brooke says as she is excited to see him.

"Brooke, I am sorry to say, but something has come up and I really don't think tonight is going to work. I will make this up to you. I just wanted to tell you in person."

"Oh, well I guess I will see you at school tomorrow. I can live without our date for a couple more days."

"See you tomorrow Brooke."

Lucas realized once he got to Brookes house that the date was not right and Haley was right. Brooke was not the one for Lucas. He had been keeping his eyes on Peyton ever since he first saw her. Now that he knew Nathan might be breaking up with her, he might have his chance. Lucas got home and decided to sleep on his thoughts and worry about it all tomorrow.
