The Scars Behind My Mask
Disclaminer: I don't own anything or anyone from one tree hill.
"Do you want a ride to school?" Keith asked Lucas as he entered the kitchen
"No I will walk" Lucas said simply as he grabbed an apple
"How long is it going to take for you to start talking to me and your mother again?" Keith asked
"I'm talking to you now aren't I?" Lucas shrugged
"You know what I mean son" Keith said
"Do I?" Lucas asked
"Stop with the attitude right now. Besides you might like it here"
"Maybe" Lucas said "I gotta go" Lucas said as he left the house
"Glad to see you made it up" Dan smirked as Brooke entered the kitchen
"Whatever" Brooke mumbled as she took a bottle of water out of the fridge
"Aren't you going to join me for breakfast?" Dan asked
"School awaits" Brooke said sarcastically
"I think me and you should sit down and have a long talk about your attitude"
"Or maybe you could shoot me repeatedly in the ears so I don't have to hear your voice"
"Hey" Nathan said entering the kitchen, he could feel the tension
"You ready?" Brooke asked
"Yeah" Nathan said as Brooke left the kitchen
"Practice tonight Nathan, I will be seeing you there" Dan stated
"Why dad? You're not the coach"
"No but I want to make sure you work your ass off after your performance on the last game" Dan stated
"Whatever" Nathan mumbled as he left and joined Brooke in her car
"I hope you have reasonable clothes in there" Nathan said pointing to Brooke's gym bag
"Why?" Brooke asked
"Cause Dad shall be joining us at practice today" Nathan said
Brooke groaned "Cant he just leave us alone?"
"Yeah right…the day that happens will probably be the day I die" Nathan sighed as Brooke began to drive
"Well he left Cooper alone" Brooke stated
"Yeah that's because Coop had the sense to move across the country"
"Hey Hales" Jake smiled as he approached her at her locker
"Hey Jake, how are ya?" Haley asked
"Am good, what about you?"
"Great" Haley smiled
"Ah, I have to go, but I will see you at lunch?" Jake asked
"Oh so you're not sitting with the famous Lee twins today I see?" Haley asked
Jake sighed "Haley, you know they are my friends too"
"I know Jake, I was just asking"
"Sure you were" Jake laughed
Haley shrugged "Well I gotta go to class, see ya" Haley said as she left
Lucas left Principle Turners office and eventually found his locker. He was allowed to try out for the basketball team after school. He stood putting his stuff in his locker when two girls approached the locker next to him.
"All I am saying is just put in a good word for me the next time you see him, whenever that will be"
"Rachel…your 16, he is 21, it is never going to happen" Brooke sighed as she opened her locker
"It might?" Rachel said hopefully
"Whatever, but tonight at practice, you're going to have to keep your smart comments to Peyton small" Brooke stated
Lucas's ears pricked up when he heard the name Peyton and practice…he remembered his conversation with the guys at the river court about Team Peyton and Team Brooke…maybe that girl was Brooke? He thought. If it was that also meant it was Nathan's sister and Nathan is the captain of the basketball team which he was trying out for today.
"Why? You're not going soft on her are you?" Rachel asked
"No…but my dad is coming to practice to keep an eye on Nathan, he already doesn't like me hanging around with you, and we don't want him to add that you're a bully too onto his list. Besides my dad likes Peyton" Brooke said
"Yeah well he would"
"So just try and keep your mouth zipped when Dan is in ear shot" Brooke sighed
"Whatever you say captain" Rachel said as she bounced away
Yep, that confirmed it. She was Brooke Lee.
Lucas looked at his schedule, he had History first. He had no idea where that was so he turned towards Brooke
"Hey…" Lucas said nervously. God she is beautiful. Lucas thought
"Hey" Brooke answered smiling "Your new right?" Brooke asked
"Yeah…do you know where this class is?" Lucas asked showing Brooke his schedule
"Ah History with Mr. May, looks like you're in my class, come on I will show you" Brooke smiled politely
"Thanks" Lucas smiled as he began walking with her
"So what's your name?" Brooke asked
"Lucas Scott"
"It suits you…I'm Brooke Lee"
"Nice to meet you Brooke" Lucas smiled
"Here we are" Brooke said as she stood outside the classroom
"Thanks"
"Oh, and I wouldn't sit at the front, he's a spitter" Brooke smirked as she entered the classroom
Lucas smiled to himself before entering the classroom, he saw Brooke take a seat next to a guy with dark brown hair. She began talking to him and he instantly felt jealous, he didn't even know this girl.
Lucas sat down when a girl with blonde curls came in followed by another guy with black hair and a tanned skin.
"Nathan" The guy smirked
Lucas turned around and saw the guy who was talking to Brooke look up. He just glared at the guy who said his name and went back to his conversation.
Now that is either Nathan Lee or just another Nathan. Lucas thought
"You're looking good Brooke" The guy smirked
Brooke looked at him disgustedly "Go to hell" She glared
"Only if you will come with me" The guy grinned
"Mr. Taggaro sit down" The teacher said as he entered the class
Felix. Lucas thought
History had dragged slowly, as did health class and then Gym. It was now lunch and Lucas planned on heading to the café but Jake, from the river court called him over to his table. He was sitting with a girl with blonde hair.
"Hey" Lucas smiled sitting down
"Hey Lucas, this is my friend Haley James…Hales this is Lucas Scott" Jake said introducing them
"Nice to meet you" Haley smiled shaking his hand
"You too" Lucas smiled
"So where were you heading?" Jake asked
"Just to my mom's café but I think I will stay here instead" Lucas stated
"Ah, going to stay with the cool kids I see" Jake smirked
Lucas let out a small laugh
"Lee!" Felix shouted in the quad as Nathan turned around
"What do you want?" Nathan asked coldly
"The rumor you stated about my sister" Felix glared
"I don't know what you're talking about" Nathan said
"Don't play dumb with me…you told the guys on the team that Anna was gay!"
"Now why would I do that?" Nathan asked
"Because Anna is a smart girl who wouldn't sleep with you" Felix glared
Nathan let out a chuckle "Is that what she told you?"
Felix looked at him frowning
"Your sister was begging me for it…you should have heard her." Nathan laughed
"You shut up right now!" Felix glared
Nathan continued to laugh "She wasn't even that good" Nathan grinned as Felix's fist collided with Nathan's face

"Uh Oh" Haley stated pointing towards Nathan and Felix fighting
"Ah…" Jake groaned as he ran towards them to break them up
"So is the other guy Felix?" Lucas asked
"Yep, you heard about their feud already?" Haley asked
"I heard about before I even started here" Lucas stated
"Yeah well this is normal" Haley stated pointing towards the fight which was now ending
"Them fighting?" Lucas asked
"Well the fist fighting doesn't happen as often but expect an argument or a confrontation at least once a week"
"Why do they hate each other so much anyway?" Lucas asked
"Their sisters of course" Haley said
"Why what did they do?"
"Well Felix began dating Brooke a few months back, around the end of sophomore year…Nathan was over protective of Brooke which already gave him a reason not to like Felix. Then Nathan started to date Anna, if you would call it dating anyway…they were just having fun I guess. Then…Felix cheated on Brooke with Peyton Sawyer who was Brooke's best friend at the time. Her and Brooke were best friends since they were 7 so I guess it was hard on her, but Brooke is a first class bitch so maybe she deserved it…Nathan of course did not like this one bit and used Anna to get back at Felix. Then it all blew up in their faces right before the summer. Brooke and Peyton never became friends again even though everyone expected they would. Nathan and Felix became far worse than enemies and Anna, well she just keeps herself to herself these days" Haley explained "And now here we are in October the next school year. Nothing has changed"
"How do you know all this?" Lucas asked
"Jake…he keeps us up to date about the Lee drama" Haley laughed
"So if he is best friends with Nathan how come you guys don't hang out with him?" Lucas asked
"Because he is Nathan Lee, I'm just a tutor, you know how high school works"
Lucas nodded "So I take it you don't like Brooke Lee?"
"Not at all, she is so fake and a heartless slut" Haley said
"Well she showed me to my first class, she didn't seem that bad"
"She was probably trying to get in your pants"
"So what about the other girl…red head" Lucas said
"Rachel Gatina?"
"Yeah"
"She was Brooke and Peyton's best friend from when they were about 13 maybe. She was closer to Brooke than Peyton so that's probably one of the reasons she took Brooke's side in this. She is also a heartless slut" Haley said
"You don't like them much do you?" Lucas asked smiling, stating the obvious
"Nope…so enough about them, tell me about you" Haley smiled
