Welcome back to The Beginning of Something Wonderful. Thanks for the reviews! I know I told someone this wouldn't be out till Thursday but I just couldn't wait. I think I'll be updating quite often just to get this story started. I forgot to mention it's set in 2015, not whatever year they would go to college based off the show.

"Sweaty in the good way?" Jake questions Nathan with a confused little frown on his face. They were in the Tree Hill U gymnasium shooting hoops before their practice began.

"Sweaty during sex has a good way?" Questions Lucas as he shoots the ball and gets all net.

"Yeah, keep up dude, when you have sex there's good sweaty and bad sweaty. Bad sweaty is when-" Nathan begins to explain.

But Lucas decides to cut them off not wanting to know more details. "I think I'd rather not know."

Nathan just shrugs in a 'your loss' type way and shoots a three pointer with his basketball.

"Alright!" A loud voice booms through out the gym. The boys turn around to see their coach walk into the gym. "Huddle up."

All the members of the Tree Hill U Eagles walk into the middle of the court and their coach gives them the play-by-play for that day's practice.

After school shopping trip #2

"So he just says, 'Maybe you'd like to experience sweaty, the good way'?" Brooke questions with wide eyes. Haley just gives her a 'what's new with guys these days?' look, shrugs and continues looking through bras and panties at 'Victoria Secret' at the Tree Hill Community Mall.

Peyton comes out of the dressing room clad in a lacy black bra and black skinny jeans. "Yeah Nathan was a total creeper, but that Jake Jagielski guy seemed genuinely appalled at his friend" she turns and looks into the mirrior outside of the dressing room she had just exited. "What do you think?" She turns back to her friends.

"Woah." They hear a voice say. They turn to see a brunette guy staring, jaw dropped at Peyton. Then, before they got a good look at him, a girl, most likely his girlfriend, swats him on the shoulder and drags him out of the store.

"Well, I think that guy needs a nice cold shower." Teases Haley.

"Haha." Peyton laughs dryly. "But really."

"You look drop dead gorgeous P. Sawyer!" Brooke declares. "Jake Jagielski won't know what hit him!"

"What do mean 'Jake Jagielski won't know what hit him'? This isn't for him, it's for-" Peyton begins before getting cut off by Brooke.

"Ughh! I swear to the great shopping gods if you say 'me' like some annoying feminist I will blow!" She complains.

"Definitely! I hate that shit!" Haley adds with a groan.

"Okay, okay, you can hop off the PMS train, I was talking about my this being for my date. My sexy Latin date." Peyton reveals gleefully.

"What?!" Brooke squeals at the same time as Haley exclaims, "Latin?!"

"He's a foreign exchange student, from Spain. We met in my study group for medieval arts." Peyton informs them excitedly.

"Peyt, that's great! But as one of your two very best friends, I feel obligated to tell you, you're still in a bra, and guys are staring through the glass over there." Haley says pointing to a group of guys staring at Peyton through the glass in the front of the store. "And I think one of them is taking a picture."

"Ugh!" Shrieks Peyton as she runs into the dressing room while covering her chest.

"Shows over!" Brooke calls out to them with a glare. She looks to Haley, expecting the same thing, but she only sees her winking and flirtatiously waving to them.

"Really, H. James? Really?" She asks her roommate, getting irritated. "They were just ogling at Peyton's chest!"

"So? Some of them were sorta cute." Haley defends.

"She's not wrong ya know..." Peyton adds as she steps out of the dressing room fully clothed. Brooke hands her her purse.

"Well H. James, if you want to pick up some guys why don't you come to the basketball game this weekend. It's home, and they have everything from jocks on the court playing, to goths in the parking lot smoking." Brooke offers Haley.

"Well, I do need something new. The same old gross bar pigs with beer bellies are getting old. So I guess." Haley says accepting Brooke's offer.

"Good now let's pay for Peyton's lingerie for sexy Latin guy and go get you a sexy outfit for the possible sex candidate scoping- uh I meant game." Says Brooke with a giggle.

"Yeah, yeah let's go!" Says Haley as she drags her best friends toward the check out.

Three days later. Friday. 11:45 PM. One day till game

"You saw her in a bra and panties?" Asks Lucas with wide eyes.

"Well it was just a bra, and I didn't really get a good look, but I know it was Peyton. I could tell by the blonde curls" Jake states, imagining Peyton's bra clad body in his mind. Suddenly he looks down at his lap and exclaims, "God! I need a shower!"

"You also need a reality check! You have a girlfriend!" Lucas reminds Jake.

"Yeah so do you! I saw you talking to her brunette friend!" Jake accuses Lucas angrily.

"It wasn't like that! We were just talking!"

Flashback:

Lucas finishes mopping up the spilt coffee and heads up to the front counter to throw away the used napkins and order a new drink.

He got to the counter and the worker asks, "Hello Sir, what can I get you?"

"A coffee with two creams and two sugars please." Lucas orders.

"It'll be a minute sir. You can just wait here if you'd like." Lucas just nods and smiles.

He's been there for a couple of seconds when a petite brunette struts up and orders three drinks.

"A lot for such a small person to drink, don't you think?" Lucas teases the pretty girl.

"It's for me and my roommates." She says while nodding her head towards a table with two girls and two new arrivals. "Who seem to have gotten company,"

"Oh, well I wouldn't be too worried it's just happens to be MY roommates who've joined them. The cocky one who seems to have invited himself to sit down is my half-brother Nathan. And the one standing is our best bud, Jake Jagielski. And I'm Lucas Scott." Lucas introduces himself while putting out his hand for The girl to shake.

She shakes his hand while saying, "Nice to meet you, Lucas Scott, I'm Brooke Davis. And the curly blonde at my table is Peyton Sawyer, and the girl wth the ponytail is Hayley James."

"Great to meet you too, Beautiful- uh I mean Brooke." Lucas flirts, despite himself and the fact he has a girlfriend.

Brooke just giggles. Suddenly they see the raven haired boy that was just at Brooke's table rush up with the other now in tow. He slaps a twenty on the counter and then grabs Lucas by the arm and fm drags him out the door.

End of Flash back.

"Yeah whatever, I'm getting in the shower." Jake says as he stands and heads into the bathroom.

"I wonder if Haley was there..." Nathan who had kept quiet up until now, wondered aloud.

"Why, is my little brother developing an itty bitty crush?" Lucas teases his brother.

"No! She's just been deemed 'bangable'." Nathan confidently states.

"Yeah whatever man. I'm going to bed." Lucas gets up and heads for his bedroom.

"Yeah I am in a few minutes too." Nathan tells his brother.

"'Kay." Lucas calls over his shoulder as he closes his bedroom door.

'I don't have a crush. She's just hot and has an awesome body!' Nathan assures himself in his mind 'And these really hypnotic, deep brown eyes. And this great voice. And- Nathan! What are you thinking about?! She's just hot and has a nice rack! That's it! Ugh, I need a shower now too! Preferably cold.' He stands and walks over to the door and begins banging on it. He yells, "Hurry the hell up! I need to take one!"

"Shut the hell up! I'll be done when I'm done!" He hears Jake shout over the water.

Yep, tonight was gonna be a long one.
