Lucas sat at the kitchen table and looked down at his breakfast. It was Monday morning and he was excited to get to school and see Peyton. He hadn't stopped thinking about her all weekend, and nothing he did could get her out of his mind. Lucas stared down at his food, and he lost track of the time, and he pictured her in his mind. He pictured Peyton; she stood in front of him, wearing jeans that covered her long beautiful legs, and a leather jacket. Lucas smiled as he thought of her.

"Luke, man, you ready to go?" he heard Nathan's voice and he looked down. He hadn't eaten anything, but he wouldn't be able to eat until he saw her.

"Yeah." Lucas nodded and grabbed his bag from under the table. "Bye mom, bye dad." Lucas smiled and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek, and patted Keith on the back. Keith may have not been his father, but he might as well have been.

"See you guys later." Nathan waved to each of them and the two brothers were out the door.

Lucas and Nathan got into their red corvette, that they had to share, but today was Lucas' turn to drive.

After about two minutes, Nathan looked over at Lucas. "So, Luke, today after school, can you go to the river court or something?"

"Sure, why?" Lucas asked as he turned and looked at Nathan.

"Just thought I might bring a girl over for a bit." Nathan responded laughing.

When they arrived to the school parking lot, the two brothers got of the car and began to approach the school. "Look, I know its still early Lucas, but you better have your mind straight by basketball practice!" Nathan warned as he winked at Lucas and walked off to his first class.

After Lucas got his books from his locker, he spotted Peyton down the hallway. Lucas smiled as he saw her, and he then began to approach her. "Hey." He said once he walked up to her, leaning up against the set of lockers.

Peyton glanced up at him, and then back at the books she was getting from her locker. She had two of her friends next to her, but she always did.

"Hello, P. Sawyer, there's a really hot guy trying to hit on you!" Peyton's best friend, Brooke Davis said as she hit Peyton on the shoulder.

"Thanks for stating the obvious once again, Brooke." Peyton rolled her eyes and then glanced at Lucas once more. "What do you want?" she asked as she began to walk down the hallway.

"Well, that date we discussed." He said and he shot her a smile.

"Don't think so, why are you following me?" she asked as she looked over her shoulder at him.

"Well you did say we could talk at school, and this is school." Lucas dryly laughed, "So here I am, trying to talk to you."

"Correction." Peyton said, holding up one finger. "I said I would see you at school, I never agreed to actually talk to you."

Lucas laughed and watched her walk down the hallway. He really liked her, and he now knew that it wasn't going to be easy to get her to realize they had something.

That day had been pretty miserable for Lucas after that. He still couldn't get Peyton out of his mind, and he hated that she practically ignored him that day. After the day he had, he didn't feel like putting up with Nathan and his attitude, so he walked home. When Lucas arrived home he unlocked the front door and walked in. "Umm…Hi?" Lucas said as he saw a brunette, who he had remembered from that day, her name was Brooke and she was sitting on his kitchen counter.

"Oh my gosh! You are the hot guy that was so totally hitting on my P. Sawyer!" she gasped and jumped down.

Lucas looked around and then hit himself on the forehead. "I forgot! Nathan was bringing a girl home, I'm sorry, I forgot." Lucas turned and began to leave, but Brooke tugged on his arm.

"Stay, I need company, Nathan isn't back yet."

Lucas turned around and looked at her. "Where did he go?"

Brooke shrugged. "I have no clue." She smiled at him and then sat on the counter once again after Lucas sat down at the table. Neither Karen nor Keith was usually home at this time of the day. Karen ran a local café and spent most of her day there, and Keith was the mayor of Tree hill and most of his time had been committed to the office. "So you like Peyton?" Brooke asked after moments of silence passed by.

Lucas nodded. "Yeah, she is pretty cool."

Brooke looked at him oddly. "And you would know? I don't mean that rudely, but what do you know about her, if anything?"

"You're right, nothing really. I started talking to her at a party last week, and we just clicked. I felt a connection to her, and I think we could really be something, if she would ever give me a chance."

"Wait, hold on there. You and Peyton…talked?" she said, her jaw dropping open. "At a party…you just talked?"

"Yeah, well we did kinda make out for like…thirty seconds." Lucas said laughing as he pictured that night in his mind.

"So you mean you guys didn't sleep together?"

Lucas laughed again. "No."

"I am really shocked right now Duke."

Lucas raised an eye brow and looked at her. "It's Luke..."

"Yeah, whatever." She said shrugging. "I just can't believe that Peyton spent that awesome party…talking to you."

Lucas wasn't sure if he was supposed to be offended by her comment, but he ignored it. Brooke then pulled out a sheet of paper and a pen from her purse and began to write something down. "Here." She said with a smile, which revealed her dimples. "It's Peyton's address. If you guys really did just talk then I guess she must have thought you were a good guy, go to her house and talk to her."

Lucas nodded. "Okay, thanks." Lucas smiled at Peyton. He then began to walk to her house, which he now knew was close to the river court. He was a bit nervous, now that knew he would be given a chance to talk to Peyton, possibly without her blowing him off.

When Lucas arrived at her house, he knocked on the door. He heard music blaring from inside of the house, and he knew that she probably didn't hear him knocking. So he just opened the door and walked in. He wasn't sure which way to go to get to her room, so he just followed to sound of the music. Lucas made his way up the stairs and then turned to the left. He took a deep breath as he saw the doorway of her bedroom. He knew that's where she must have been. And the music was now louder than ever. Lucas knocked on the side of the door. "Peyton?" he asked as he walked in. But it wasn't just Peyton he saw.

"Oh my gosh!" she screamed when she saw Lucas. She pulled a sheet up to cover her naked body. "What the hell are you doing here?" she asked, gasping for her breath as she looked at Lucas, who was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Lucas then looked to the right of her and realized who she was in bed with, and he began to laugh. He didn't find anything funny; he just didn't know what else to do, so he laughed. "By the way, Nathan, Brooke is at home waiting for you." Lucas then closed the door behind him as he left.
