Hi guys! Here it is! Chapter two! I hope u like it :) and remember, be kind, review! means the world to me. xxx


Brooke hated being rushed to go to school.

She was famous for always taking her time when it came to getting ready in the morning, but that never got in the way of the boys trying to get on her nerves, and that morning wasn't any different.

Clark honked his car and once again she yelled out the window "GUYS SERIOUSLY!",

Dean laughed. "Dude, stop it, she'll kill us".

Clark smirked and turned to face Nathan who was munching his breakfast. "Trying to gain weight?",

Nate nodded while chewing his tuna sandwich.

"Freaking Whitey has been breathing down my neck about me being too skinny".

Jake looked up. "And that's a problem how? You still get all the girls".

Nate gave him the once over, and went back to eating his sandwich.

Clark and Dean gave Jake a sympathetic smile, before going back to honking at Brooke.

She came out a few seconds later, bag in one hand, and shoes in the other.

Dean got out of the car to help her out, but was dismissed by a shoe thrown at him.

"I HATE YOU GUYS!". She yelled in between panic.

"Brooke, no need to get hostile, you know the guys are gonna drool no matter what you wear," Jake said from inside the car.

She gave him her winning smile, before grabbing her shoes back from Dean's hand.

"Well, that's no reason to keep them from drooling more, is it?"

and with that, she got in the car.


Lucas had a morning routine.

He would wake up, turn on his itunes, take a shower, pick up Haley and Peyton; who lived only a couple of blocks away from him, and they'd meet up with the rest of the gang at JP's Diner near school for breakfast.

It was a routine he'd done ever since he got his license.

"Sir's", he greeted the boys who were already seated on their usual table at the back.

"Where's the lady?", he asked when he realized Brooke was nowhere in sight.

"Emergency make up check", answered Nathan,

"Ouch, you guys made her rush again?" Lucas asked while taking a seat in front of Clark.

Haley and Peyton had already left to go check on Brooke.

"Yeah man, hilarious, this time she didn't even have her shoes on", Clark laughed at himself and gave Dean a high five.

"Well, we all know how Brookie's gonna get during cheer practice today".


As the two cars parked at their usual spot, students in Tree Hill started to stare in their direction.

First, it was hard not to notice Lucas's jeep, which always played songs that could be heard from a 9 mile radius.

Second, it was hard not to stare at the guys and girls who were in those two cars. Everyone in Tree Hill wanted to be them - or at least, part of them.

Too bad their group didn't have a new kid on the block policy.

You'd have to go back in time and befriend them while they were still kids.

Even the rest of their other school friends felt left out sometimes.

I mean, not that they didn't go to the same parties, or belonged to the same cliques.

It's just hard not to feel left out when Brooke, Haley and Peyton would just look into each other's eyes and burst out laughing.

Or when Nate says something cryptic to Dean, like "Out and dry", and Dean'll say "Got you man".

There's a massive allure.

It does get intimidating for girls who want to date the guys.

I mean, how do you compete with one Brooke Davis, Haley James and Peyton Sawyer? Not to mention the guys who want to date them.

Who could forget Clark and Dean beating up Toby Jackson for cheating on Brooke?

That guy was out cold in the hospital for several days, and later on banned from their cliques.

He didn't press charges of course. He didn't have the guts.

He, of course, now hangs out by himself, and only says hi to Brooke from time to time.

Going out with her must have felt like a lifetime ago.

He probably still kicks himself everyday for letting her go.


love? hate? review! :D xxxx
