Chapter 1Peyton's POV

I'm getting ready in my bathroom and all I hear is Brooke yelling "PEYTON SAWYER! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE! It's 6:15 game time is 7:30 we need to be at the school by 6:30 NOW LET'S GO!"

"Alright alright Brooke I'm coming jeez calm down the school's less than five minutes from my house."

"Sorry P. Sawyer but you know how I get, and it's the first game of the season!" she said with more excitement than anyone should have… especially someone who's not even playing in the game.

"yeah yeah don't remind me" First basketball game of the season. All this means is it's just going to be another long season of cheering for these cocky little boys who don't deserve it anyway. But look at the bright side it's my senior year meaning my last season of this!

"So uh Peyton I was wondering…"

"Yes Brooke?"

"Well it's uh just…"

"Brooke just spit it out already"

"Well since it's the first game of our senior year I was wondering If you would come to a party with me afterwards"

I groaned "Brooke you know I HATE parties!"

"Yeah I know Peyton but puuuhhhlllleeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeeeee Haley said she'd only come if you were going!"

"Alright fine I'll go, where's it at anyway?"

"Lucas Scott's" and with that she ran out of the door. I ran after her and got in the car with her.

"Oh no! no! no! no! you know I despise him"

"Yeah Peyton I know but please do it for me, I promise it'll be a lot of fun."

"Ok. But you so owe me!"

We arrived to the school all the other cheerleaders are already there doing the warm-ups. Haley walks up to us and smiles she turns to Brooke and whispers "so did you ask her"

"Yes she did and I don't want to go but for you, Haley James I will" Brooke opens up her mouth to say something "Does it matter who I'm going for Brooke the important part is that I'm going so just shut up and be happy" she didn't say anything just smiled her Brooke Davis signature smile and started warming up.

It's 7:30 which means game time, time to paint on a fake smile and cheer like I actually care whether they win or lose. I look up and see Lucas Scott getting ready to start the game urgh he's such a cocky bastard. He thinks he owns the place I wish somebody would just put him in his place. He turns towards me and when he sees me he smiles. Wow. I never noticed his intense blue eyes. He turns back around and shoots the ball, and for some reason I find myself smiling. The game starts I really don't pay much attention. It's a close game though the entire time the score is going back and forth.

1:20 left in the 4th and we're down 3 points. Whitey calls for a timeout. I look over at them to see Lucas yelling something to get the team hyped. God he's such a cocky bastard I mean why can't he let the coach talk, I bet I know what he's saying "come on guys this is my season my time don't mess this is, because it's mine" well maybe not that exactly but probably something along those lines. After the timeout they walk back onto the court I see Lucas whisper something in Nathan's ear and they give each other a high five. Nathan walks out of bounds the ref hands him the ball, he throws it in to Lucas. Nathan comes to set Lucas a pick for Lucas there must have been a miscommunication among the defense because both guys end up on Lucas. Nathan slips to the hoop Lucas throws him an alley oop Nathan slams the ball in and just like that they're down by 1. Now there's 55 seconds the other team has the ball and we're on defense. Lucas is guarding the point guard. 45 second now Nathan's man has the ball. 35 seconds. They're just passing the ball around running the clock out. I'm guessing Whitey has no timeouts left because he's on the sidelines screaming "FOUL FOUL FOUL!" But when everyone looks at Lucas he is shaking his head no. 20 seconds left. Still just running out the clock 10 seconds. 9,8,7,6,5 Lucas gets a steal. 4,3,2 he has no time he has to pull up for the 3 pointer!

LUCAS' POV

First game of the senior year. This is it no going back this is my last year and I have to be the best possible me that I can be. This is it it's gonna be my year! I can feel it. We're warming up before the game all eyes are on me… the way it should be. I look at and see that Peyton Sawyer girl staring at me… she wants me. So what do I do? I shoot her a Lucas Scott, sure to get any girl I want smile. And then I just turn around and shoot the ball, I'm sure she's over there smiling but I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of looking back at her. The game starts it's pretty close all game, I'm having a pretty good game with 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, must of my assists are to Nathan because he's the only other one besides me whom I trust with the ball. Nathan has 16 points.

1:20 left in the game we're down by 3 points. This is it Lucas get your head in the game. Whitey calls a timeout. "Alright team you guys worked so hard in the preseason this is what you worked for gotta go out there and get it, would anybody like to add anything?" he turns to me knowing I have something to say.

"Like Whitey said this is what we worked for we have to go out there as a team and win it, everyday we come to practice and work our asses off well this is when we see if it's really worth it." The timeout ends. Me and Nathan walk out on the court together I whisper to him "balls comin to you little bro, so you better make something happen" he smiles and we high five each other. Nathan takes the ball out. Passes it in to me they double team me, of course I knew they would but look Nathan slips to the hoop. I throw the perfect pass and he slams it home. Now we go back and play defense. The other team tries running out the clock, but I know it's just a matter of time before they make a mistake and I will be there to come up with the steal. Whitey's on the sideline screaming for us to foul I look at my teammates and tell them firmly "no" we're not letting them off the hook like that. 5 second left I get a steal. 4,3,2,1 just enough time for me to get to the 3 point line, my sweet spot. See everyone thinks I'm taking this shot because there wasn't enough time for me to get to the hoop. Nope it's because I'm Lucas Scott and it's what I do. I shoot the ball… Swish! Nothing but the bottom of the net. Everyone jumps up and starts cheering Whitey and the rest of the team run up to me and put me on there shoulders. They carry me to the locker room screaming "LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS" ahh this is the life. If I told you life could get any better than this would you really believe me? As we're changing Whitey calls me into his office.

"sit down son, that was a very nice steal and shot you made at the end of the game, but if you ever disregard my orders again I will bench you."

"Whitey, relax, I made the shot I got the steal everything turned out perfectly fine."

"Yeah this time, but I'm the coach I make the decisions you need to start respecting that"

"Yeah ok sorry…coach" I get up and walk out. Nathan walks up to me "what was the all about"

"ah, nothing Whitey's on a power trip, thinks this team is his but really it's mine, and yours too bud"

"hah yea right… so there's something I need to tell you. I kinda invited Brooke Davis to the party."

"Oh, and what's so bad about that you know how big of a whore she is I love it when she comes around"

"Yeah. But I told her to bring Haley. And she told me that Haley said she would only come if Peyton came. And you know how much I like Haley so I told Brooke to convince Peyton to come"

"ah Nate you know how much I hate that girl she's so… I don't know I just really can't stand to be around her"

"Yeah I know but there will be so many people there you will barely even notice that she's there."

"alright if you say so. Anyway let's shower and get the hell out of here and start havin some real fun" We get showered and dressed and we leave. We arrive to our apartment and there's already about a dozen or so cars there. We walk in everyone cheers for me. So what do I do? Me being the nice kind gentleman that I am I taking a bow and wave to my fans.

Peyton's POV

Ugh he would take a bow. God I've never seen someone so cocky in my entire life. Well I got Brooke and Haley by my side, wait where did Haley go? "Brooke, where's haley?"

"Um, over there… talking to Nathan Scott"

"OMG. I can't believe she's actually talking to him. That's shocking. Well I'm going to go get a drink want one?"

"Yeah sure thanks." I walk over to the drinks table and I get two beers. I turn around and WAM. Someone runs right into me. I spill beer everywhere. Damnit "I'm so sorry" I start wiping myself down. I look up to see none other than Lucas Scott staring down at me.

"no, I'm sorry it was my fault I wasn't paying attention to where I was going… Peyton right". Like he didn't know who I am.

"Yeah it's Peyton. And you're Lucas right."

"Indeed I am, well can I get you another drink."

"Yeah sure and one for…" I turn around to see Brooke making out with some guy. "Just one thanks."

"so Peyton I've never seen you at one of my parties."

"Oh. I don't really party too much. But Brooke and Haley made me come so here I am"

"Oh. I see so you didn't come just to get close to me."

"No. you know despite what you may think not every girl in this school wants to hook up with you. Now if you'll excuse me. I've got better people to talk to than you." With that I turned and walked away without so much as even looking back.

LUCAS'S POV

Well this Peyton girl's a feisty one. I see she's not like all the other girls in our school I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But I do intend to find out.

A/N- I know it's slow but it's going to get faster just stick with me.
