OK, I know most of you want Brathan or Brake. And honestly-I like those couple, but I wrote this for main purpose of Brucas,I apologize if that disappoints any of you. But be happy, my next oth story that I'm messing around with now is Brake/ Brathan related. But this story is Brucas-heads up. I am a die hard Brucas fan. I'm still disappointed that Brucas didn't even get a goodbye scene. So besides the main couple, I hope you guys continue reading and reviewing this. I still haven't decided if I want Peyton/ Nathan or Peyton/ Jake. I love Naley-but Jaley is pretty cute in some stories I've read. Tell me what you think. Jake doesn't have Jenny in this story and Nikki( Jakes actually baby momma) will be Brooke's sister in this story-with actual parents.

Also I've decided to make this a 'welcome back' basketball game. So it's just the Raven's basketball team, split up into two. I'm putting off the actual first game- I have something in mind for that.


Stretching her right leg, she rolled her eyes once as she heard Bevin complain about cheer leading auditions. "I just don't know why we need another member." Bevin said as everyone switched to their other leg.

"Because Bevin, as I've pointed out multiple times in the past thirty minutes." Haley began in an annoyed tone. "We need an odd amount of squad members for the routines to work. Actually we don't have to auditions, I could always kick someone off instead." Haley suggested as she looked in Bevin's direction.

"No, auditions are great. I can't wait!" Bevin squealed.

"That's what I thought. Peyton take over, I have to calm Lucas before the game. Oh great, he's talking to Dan-this should be fun." Haley said unenthusiastically.

"Don't worry Hales, it'll be fine." Peyton stated as they all stood up. Walking over to Lucas, she saw that Dan had just walked away from him. Catching Lucas' eye, she gave him a smile as she continued walking over towards him. Feeling him pull her skirt so that she was close to him, she laughed. "So I guess a quickie before the game is out of the question?" Haley teased.

"Not out of the question, just isn't gonna happen. I think I can do with a make-out session though." Lucas said as he crashed his lips down on to her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her body closer to his. Feeling her wrap her arms around his neck, Lucas leaned down to her level, giving her a hard kiss. As he parted his mouth and ran his tongue across the bottom of her lip, Lucas felt Haley comply as she opened her mouth. He began slowly massaging his tongue against hers. Haley grinded her body into his, being satisfied when a groan came from Lucas.

"Lucas! Start warming up now! This is a basketball game not a brothel!" He heard Whitey yell.

Finally breaking the kiss, he looked down at Haley with a smirk across his lips. "Your ass is mine after the game Hales." Lucas said as he slapped her ass before walking away to warm up and Haley made her way back to the squad.

"Why did we have to come Nathan? We could be at the river court." Brooke pleaded as the two of them walked inside the gym and stopped right as the passed inside the doors. "Second question-why are we so damn early?" She questioned as she faked gagging. "Ah! My eyes! If I wanted to barf I would've seen a horror film instead of watching Lucas and Haley make out." Brooke said as she covered her eyes.

"Calm down B. We've been over this, it's been a tradition since freshmen year. We always come to the first game for Jake. We can leave at half time, OK?" Nathan said as he started looking around.

"Stop trying to scope the cheerleaders Nathan. Whitey's over there anyways." Brooke said as she grabbed his hand and began dragging him towards Whitey's direction.

Ten minutes later...

"Come on Brooke, you are going to have to talk to Haley if you want to set up an audition." Nathan pleaded as he began pulling on her arm to lead her over in the direction of the corner of the gym were the cheerleaders were at.

"No Nathan, I refuse. It was just a trick to get you away from asshole. I mean honestly- you're on the team, isn't that enough to 'stick it' to the 'in crowd'. Look-there's Mouth and everyone else." She announced as she waved at them and began walking in the opposite direction.

Just as she was about halfway there, Brooke felt two hands set on her waist and the next thing she knew she was off the ground and on Nathan's shoulder. "Nathan! Put me down right now!" She yelled, getting the attention of most of the crowd in the gym and laughs from Skillz, Fergie, Junk and Mouth.

"Nope." Nathan replied popping the 'p'. "I don't think I will, you said you were going to try out and you aren't going back on your word now are you." He stated as he continued to walk over to the group of gawking cheerleaders.

Stopping as he stood in front of Haley James, he kept Brooke on his shoulder as he gave Haley an awkward smile. "Hey, I'm Nathan. I wanted to talk to you about setting up a tryout-" He began before getting cut off by Bevin. "

I don't think the uniforms would fit you. Your legs are huge and hairy. Ew." Bevin stated, getting some laughs from the squad and two glares from Haley and Bevin.

"Well as much as I'd love to wear a skirt, I was actually talking about Brooke Davis also known as the girl on my shoulder." Nathan stated as he gave Bevin a confused glance before turning his attention back to Haley.

"Also known as the girl that's going to beat your ass once you put me down!" Brooke exclaimed as she hit his shoulder for emphasis.

"Sorry, we are all filled up-maybe next year." Haley said with a smug tone as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Told you Nathan. I'm just glad I don't have to hear it from Nikki , 'following in my foot steps little sister.' " Brooke sneered as Nathan put her down, fixing her shirt she began walking towards the bleachers. Stopping, Brooke turned around and looked at Nathan. "You are a dead man Scott. Consider yourself lucky that there are too many witnesses here." Brooke spat out as she punched Nathan in the chest before walking off again.

"Wait did you say Nikki? As in Nikki Davis?" Peyton questioned to Brooke's back. There had been rumors that Brooke was Nikki's little sister, but since the two were polar opposites no one thought that it was possible. Nikki Davis was the most popular girl and also the best head cheerleader the Raven's had in their short history. Now Brooke Davis, was the exact opposite. Quite, kept to herself and was a tutor. In other words-she was a complete loser who hung out with the other rejects at the River court. If Brooke was related to her, there was a chance they could have another 'great Davis cheerleader' on their squad.

Turning around, Brooke rolled her eyes before replying. "Well let's see-my last name is Davis. So unless I'm talking about Nikki Reed, then duh." Brooke spat out, as she received an eye roll from Haley. Brooke hated how sometimes these cheerleaders were completely dense. "I mean, I know it's hard to comprehend that you don't have to be carbon copies of your siblings to be related." Brooke told them, before turning back around, pulling Nathan's arm, she began dragging him towards their friends.

Haley laughed quietly before looking at Peyton who gave her a nod and then yelled out, "She can audition for us Monday right after school!" Effectively having Brooke and Nathan both stop and turn around them with incredulous looks on their faces.

"We are having try outs during free period-but they are all filled up, if she makes the squad she'll know by Tuesday morning. I'll have posted the names on the bulletin board outside in the quad." Haley told him.

"Great, thanks." Nathan said as before he gave Brooke the chance to change her mind.

Picking Brooke up, he began spinning her around. "You're gonna be a cheerleader. Oh, this is blackmail for life B!" Nathan said in between laughs.

"Honestly Nathan- I am a friggin tutor! Besides idiot, they said tryout-who says I'm even going to show up? Now put me down right now! Or I will announce your middle name in front of the entire gym!" She yelled as loud as she could, causing the gym to go silent and Nathan to stop dead in his tracks.

"You wouldn't dare." Nathan said as he put her down and looked at her.

"Try me-Royal." Brooke whispered, getting an effective cringe from Nathan. Before she walked over to Jake.

"I can't believe you just did that." Peyton said as she glanced over in Nathan and Brooke's direction and then back at Haley.

"Well if she's anything like Nikki, we need her on the squad. If not- then her audition can be a good laugh." Haley stated simply as she looked over at Nathan and the others. "Besides, if it's that 'entertaining'. We could always mix it in with the tape we always make for the pep rally before the first game." Haley stated with a mischievous grin across her face before turning her attention to Peyton.

"You are evil H. James. Come on best friend- I think you better get the girls to start practicing before Theresa drools so much they need to mop the floors before this game." Peyton said as she pointed over in Theresa's direction, who was currently in a trance over the basketball team warming up.

"Jakey!" She squealed as she ran over in Jake's direction and jumped into his arms.

"Brookie!" Jake yelled back as he caught Brooke and gave her a hug before spinning her around. Hearing her giggle,he was about to put her down when he felt her legs wrap around his waist. "So I can't warm up, is that what you're trying to tell me?" Jake questioned as he looked over at Brooke.

"Nope. I was dragged here because a stupid tradition we started freshmen year, so I'm going have fun distracting you as much as I can." She said with a dimpled smile across her face.

"And you know I appreciate it that B. Even if you aren't happy about it." Jake said as he playfully patted the top of her head.

"Besides, you know you missed me since we didn't hang out all summer, too busy with asshole over there." She stated motioning towards Lucas as she unlocked her legs and got down so that she was now standing in front of Jake.

"Whatever Brooke, you and Nathan were attached at the hip all summer. Even if I hadn't been busy with the basketball team, you wouldn't have had time for me." Jake said, faking being hurt.

"I swear, if one more person says there's something going on between me and Nathan. I might scream, he's my best friend-has been since we were like six. I know it's hard to believe that a girl can actually just been friends with a guy. Without the the sexual tension or having a sexual past with them." Brooke told him as she let out a huff and rolled her eyes.

"You got some sexual tension with me don't ya Brooke Davis?" A voice from behind her said. Brooke rolled her eyes as she turned around.

"And here we go again. Didn't I insult you enough this morning?" Brooke asked Lucas in annoyance.

"I mean I can insult you some more, but I don't think you'd want your daddy seeing you get embarrassed by a girl-yet again, now would he? Besides if we were to ever be friends I would know what hell looked like when it froze over." She stated with a smirk.

"Look Davis, you need to watch your mouth. If you still want a chance with me. Then again- I like 'em fiesty." Lucas stated in a cocky tone as he gave her body a once over.

"Please. Why would I want a chance with you? I'm not some dumb slut or your girlfriend. Oh I get it-your ego is bruised because you got turned down. I'm sor- oh wait, no I'm not. I could give a shit less about you. Just leave me alone Lucas." Brooke said with a sigh, mostly from exhaustion of this constant bickering.

"Brooke you know you want me. The river court slut should be happily giving it up. Just admit it, and I'll give you a night you'll never forget." Lucas told her as he closed the distance between the two of them and looked down at her.

"Look Lucas, I'm not having sex with you. If you call me 'the river court slut' one. more. time. I am going to make it so that you won't be able to reproduce or pee without sitting down." Brooke sneered as hereyes went a shade darker.

"Here are the reasons why I won't sleep with you," Brooke told him as she held up one finger. "one- I'm not one of your little hoes." Holding up a second finger, "and two-I'm waiting until marriage. Being true to myself and not following the crowd, unlike you Cassa-horndog. " She told him, as she looked him up and down with disgust. "You know what- I honestly don't even know why I'm wasting time with you. You obviously aren't getting it." Brooke told him as she shook her head and covered her face with her hands.

"Oh, I'm making you blush?" Lucas asked with a smirk across his lips.

"Making me blush would require me actually liking you. When in reality I loathe you." Brooke said, taking her hands away from her face.

"Don't be like that," Lucas said as he gently let the tips of his fingers run underneath her chin. Only to be swatted away by Brooke. "gorgeous." Biting on her bottom lip, she was restraining herself from talking to him. "Damn gorgeous, you're lucky my girlfriend's here because you biting your lip is really fuckin' sexy right now." Lucas said in a husky whisper.

As she released her lip from in between her teeth, an idea sprang to mind. "You're lucky you're girlfriend's here too." Brooke replied in a raspy whisper.

"And why is that?" Lucas asked as he glanced from her eyes to her lips and back up to her eyes again.

"Because I want to be on the squad and slapping the shit out of her boyfriend won't help me there, now will it? Plus, I'm done trying to talk to idiots." Brooke questioned as she tilted her head to the side.

"So you admit that you already want to touch me." Lucas stated, receiving an eye roll from Brooke. "Also by the way she's looking at the two of us, she isn't happy with her boyfriend." Brooke stated, effectively getting a reaction from Lucas who glanced over and saw a completely pissed off Haley James. Giving Jake a pleading look, Brooke took a couple of steps back from Lucas.

"Luke man, just go warm up. Focus on the game and back off Brooke." Jake said as he put himself in between Brooke and Lucas and began pushing Lucas away from him. "Man, I'm serious. I'm not one for threats but if you don't back off my girl, then we'll have a problem." Jake said looking Lucas square in the eye.

"Oh, slummin' Jagielski? Damn, I didn't know the river court slut was yours. Maybe you could hook Tim up then. Come to think of it- I don't know where that girl has been." Lucas stated with a smug look on his face.

"Honestly Scott if you don't back the fuck off, you won't be able to play tonight." Jake said through clenched teeth as he put his hands on Lucas' chest and began pushing him backwards.

Pushing Jake's hands off his chest, "I'd like to see you try it Jake, you'd be off the team so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. It's not even worth it for this loser." Lucas stated as he motioned with his hand over in Brooke's direction. "Lucas, just back off. She's made it clear that she isn't interested. Maybe you should worry about your girlfriend- goes by the name of Haley." Jake told him as he nodded over in the direction that the cheerleaders were standing. Feeling someone tap him on his shoulder, Lucas turned around to come face to face with his brother, Nathan Scott.

"What do you want little brother?" Lucas spat out as he looked Nathan square in the eye.

"Well big brother, how about for one you leave Brooke alone and follow what Jake tells you. We've been over the fact that she isn't a slut. I'm sure the fact that she's turned you down is what makes you mad." Nathan told him as he began clenching and un-clenching his fists, trying to cam himself.

"Well Brooke, you really must get around if you have all these guys coming to your rescue." Lucas said as he glanced back at Brooke.

"Oh, I'm sorry were you talking to me?" Brooke asked as she looked up from examining her nails. "I don't talk idiot. Nathan come on, let's just go take a seat and watch the game. That way when you join the team you'll be able to take Lucas' spot." Brooke said with a smirk across her face as she looked over in Lucas' direction then back at Nathan.

Giving Jake a hug good-bye, Brooke grabbed Nathan's hand pulling him away from Lucas. "Now, let's go tell Whitey. Then you, Nathan Scott, are letting me sit down with my friends. Talking to idiots,waste of my time." She began muttering as they headed off over to Whitey's direction to tell them to make him a 'kick ass jersey' in Brooke's words.

Another Twenty minutes later...


(Author's Note: Continued in the next chapter. I broke it up into two chapters-just a heads up. Reviews are always welcome. My head is swarming with ideas for the chapters AHEAD and not the chapters I'm writing-just the way my brain works, so I apologize in advance for the lack of updates. Hope you are enjoying the story.)
