"Is this the house?" Brooke asked, barely able to stay in her seat as they neared their new home.
Before Lucas could even get the chance to answer, the cab was pulling up alongside the house, letting the two new roomates know that this was their stop.
Both dashed out of the car, quickly pulling out their suitcases before running into the house.
"Oh my god…" Those were the first words out of both Brooke and Lucas' mouth's as they entered.
Brooke: The house is amazing! I mean, we have a freaking pool in our house! It's just right there in the middle of everything! And a huge game room with basketball hoops and like four arcade games. Plus the bathroom is huge, with one big shower. This is just—unbelievable. Someone seriously needs to pinch me!
Lucas: Stepping into the house was like stepping into a different world. We don't have these kind of things in Boston, not in my neighborhood anyways.
"Should we wait til everyone gets here to pick rooms?" Lucas asked as him and Brooke reached the kitchen, pulling themselves up on two stools.
"Yeah, I don't want anyone bitching us out on our first night here…" Brooke told him with a giggle. "So tell me more about you. Besides that your Lucas Roe, you're from Boston, and you're excited to be here…" She finished with a smile. That was what most of their conversation on the drive over here.
"Okay, let's see…" Lucas thought for a minute, before letting out a frustrated sigh. "That's hard. Why don't we play twenty questions. You ask me a question, then I ask you one. Sound fair?"
"Ooh sounds fun. Okay, let me think. How old were you when you lost your virginity?" She asked, a mischievous smirk playing on her face.
Lucas laughed and shook his head; she definitely was a wild one. But that's something he liked about her already. "17, at prom."
"Aw, Luke that's so cute! Very romantic too if I may say so myself…" She told him with a smile, not even realizing she had already called him by a nick name.
"Alright, my turn now. Let's see…"
The two ended up playing for another half hour, exchanging stories throughout all their truths. They had really clicked for only meeting each other for the first time.
Brooke: Is it weird that I have a tiny crush on a roommate already? Maybe it's just because Lucas is the first one that I met here, but something about him already makes me smile. Look, I'm smiling right now! God, What the hell am I doing? Haha, wow. Okay, I need to stop. I sound like a little school girl!
Lucas: Right now, I couldn't be happier that I met Brooke first. Something about her attracts me, bad. I'm just instantly attracted to everything about her, not just her looks--but her personality. She's fun and not afraid to be open about herself.
"Can you swim?" Lucas asked as his eighth question, a mysterious smile on his face while he waited for her reply.
Brooke nodded with a laugh, wondering why he would ask her a random question like that. Before she got the chance to verbally say yes, Lucas had swung her over his arm, still fully clothed and rushed them over to the pool. When they got there, Lucas jumped in, his grip remaining tight on Brooke so she wouldn't get hurt.
"Lucas Roe!!" Brooke yelled, laughing hysterically as she came up for air, immediately swimming over to Lucas and dunking him in. As Lucas felt her hands go above his shoulder, he held his breath as he knew he was about to go under. Just as he was under water, he grabbed her from beneath to bring her with him.
The two played for another 15 minutes before hearing someone sticking a key through the door. "New roommates!" Brooke cheered excitedly, swimming quickly to the steps of the pool and climbing out. Lucas followed after, grabbing them both towels as they headed towards the door.
"Anyone here?" Brooke and Lucas heard a voice called out. Both smiled at one another before excitedly running to the entrance.
"Hi! I'm Brooke!" Brooke stated first as she went in for a hug. "Sorry, someone here knocked me in the pool…" She smirked, sending a playful glare at Lucas before introducing herself to the rest of the roommates.
Once they were all aquainted, they heard the door open once more.
"That was quick…" Jake pointed out, looking down at his wrist watch and seeing they'd only arrived 5 minutes earlier.
"Nathan come onnnnn!" They heard a girl complain. Before they knew it, a red head and brunette both appeared from the outside with two wide smiles on their faces.
Once again after many introductions, they decided it was time to pick the rooms.
"Alright, so since there's three beds in the red room, and three guys here, us guys are taking that room. You ladies cool with that?" Lucas asked, walking into the light blue room right next to theirs.
"Yeah, that works. I think Peyton and Haley are taking the yellow room anyways, and Rachel and I decided to bunk here." Brooke replied sweetly as she looked around the room. "So, you're in the room next to me, eh?" She asked, kinking her eyebrow with a playful smile.
XXX.
"So roomie…" Peyton started as she entered her and Haley's room. "How're you liking the house so far?" She asked before plopping down across from Haley on her own bed.
"Um…it's different…" She replied with a laugh. "I'm used to living with people, afterall I have 9 brothers and sisters. But it's still weird being here. Everyone looks like they just stepped out of a freaking movie!" She laughed, shaking her head.
"Like you're one to talk!" They heard a raspy voice reply, walking into their room followed by the red head. Brooke sat down next to Haley on her bed while Rachel filled the space next to Peyton. "Haley, you're gorgeous! I'd absolutely kill for you're hair!" Brooke complimented her.
Haley could feel herself blush a bit as she heard the compliment. She couldn't help it, she wasn't used to be center of attention, more like the girl in the back.
"So what do you guys think of the boys?" Rachel jumped in, raising her eyebrows with a small smirk.
"Ha! If I knew they would all be this gorgeous I'd bring my own condoms!" Brooke laughed, earning a high five from Rachel and giggles and blushed cheeks from the other two girls.
"Haley! Phone's for you!" Jake yelled from downstairs. Haley said a quick 'be right back' before jumping up off the bed and heading downstairs. Not long after, Rachel decided she needed to finish unpacking and headed back to hers and Brooke's room.
"Hm, So I noticed you weren't exactly jumping in on that conversation. Got a new crush Miss Sawyer?" Brooke asked raising her eyebrows.
Peyton smiled and looked down at her hands before looking back up at Brooke.
"Oh my god you SO do! Who is it?" Brooke asked, jumping to the edge of Haley's bed as she waited for a response.
"I wouldn't exactly call it a crush since we JUST got here…but I don't know. Something about Jake…"
"I knew it! I swear I felt the sexual tension when we were downstairs!!" Brooke giggled, proud that she'd known before Peyton even told her.
"Sh! Shhh!" Peyton laughed, shaking her head at how happy Brooke got. She could already tell her and Brooke were going to be good friends.
Peyton: So I finally met all my roommates, and so far everything's been chill. I'm rooming with Haley, so that's nice. The other two girls, Brooke and Rachel, they're wild man! I mean I thought I was wild, but they definitely know how to party it seems like. Rach and I have yet to really hit it off, but Brooke and Haley are really cool girls. And the boys, well, let's just say they aren't the most bad looking in the bunch. Lucas is really cool, he's into a lotta the same stuff as me. Nate, he seems cool too. Total jock, but it's cool. And Jake..well Jake is Jake. He's really sweet, and well, I don't know, I guess we'll see what happens.
XXX.
"So where'd you say you were from?" Nathan asked as him and Haley walked down the street, getting a feel of their new residence. After she got off the phone, he offered and she gladly accepted.
"Maine." Haley replied sweetly, and Nathan couldn't help but get hypnotized by her smile. He normally didn't fall for the sweet small town girls like Haley, but she was captivating him. Although he wasn't known for his faithfulness.
"Ooh, small town?" He asked, taking his eyes off her and looking at the scenary.
"You wouldn't believe it." She laughed, shaking her head. "But it's nice. It's not so crazy ya know? It's just a nice little cozy place."
Nathan nodded, understanding what she said. Sure he was from Miami and it was rarely quiet there, but it was nice having little getaways like what her town sounded like.
"My grandparents used to always take me to their cousin's house in Wyoming. And as much as I love excitement in where I live, it was always a nice getaway. You know? It's always so peaceful and quiet, It used to be my favorite part of summer…just to get away from it all…"
Haley smiled up at Nathan as she saw him genuinely thinking about him past memories.
Nathan laughed and shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know where that came from…"
"Don't be sorry, that sounds really nice." She told him with a nod.
And the rest of the walk was filled with a content quietness, both just enjoying each other's company.
Nathan: Seriously, could this get any better! Have you seen the girls in the house! They're all mind-blowingly hot. I mean you've got a red head with a fiery attitude. A brunette with killer dimples. A curly blonde with the best legs, and then you've got Haley. There's really something about that girl that…wow. Can we cut this? I'm gonna sound like an idiot.
Alright, well that was it!
