Peyton

Rushing to class I settle in my assigned seat next to Rachel. Shit almost forgot she is in this class. This is the class that this mess started though. Lost in though my mind goes back to the day the teacher assigned these seats, I was mad and glanced over at Rachel and she smiled at me, it wasn't her usual I'm-a-bitch smile but a sweet, innocent I'm-a-victim-too smile. That's all it took for me to get lost in thoughts of her. Snapping back to attention as I feel the warmth in my cheeks start to burn I gather my books out. Looking up I see her come into the room. Blushing madly I just watched her walk in, loving every moment of it. As she sits she flashes the usual smile and sits down.

"Hey."

"Hey" I bit my lip nervously as the bell rings. "how…"

"Alright class settle down, open your texts and we'll begin." The teacher rudely interrupts. I glare in her direction going.

Rachel

She just did it again, she is so totally watching you. SHUT UP! She is NOT. Silencing the thoughts I glance over at Peyton and catch her staring at me. Just as quickly as the thought were banished Peyton blushes, snapping her attention to the front of the class. Huh could it be she is… nah more likely an insult. Deciding to test it I rip of a piece of refill and scribble across it then slip the paper over the space between our desks, placing it gently on Peyton's desk.

Peyton

Turning quickly back to face the front, scolding myself for getting caught again. To quickly to see her smile. Feeling a nudge I look down at a piece of paper. I look up at Rachel confusion hiding the excitement and fear. She just looks blankly back not helping. I open it and again look at Rachel, not wanting to read it. She smiles so I look down and begin reading:

Hey do you want help at Tric, you know to set up and stuff

The bell rang.

Smiling I scribbled a quick 'yeah wait for me' tossing it to her as I gathered my stuff and rushed out of the class. I would have walked out with her but didn't want her seeing me as a happy mush of goo.

Rachel

Slowly grabbing my gear I watched Peyton rush out slightly upset but mostly glad that she hadn't waited. I really didn't want her to see me grinning like a mad person.

Brooke

I smiled as Peyton rushed up to her locker "hey"

"Hey" she quickly responded shoving books into her locker and slamming it closed.

"So what are we doing now." I have plans with Lucas but want to hear her plans first.

"um, I can't I'm going to do some setting up at Tric." She half mumbles.

"oh, ok" I respond slightly hurt.

"Bye" she calls as she rushes off. Racing after her I turn the corner and stop with at halt. Peyton had stoped at Rachel's locker.

"Hey" ok why is Peyton nervous about talking to Rachel? Iwait why is she talking to Rachel

"Hey, so shall we get going" why is Peyton hanging out with her and where are they going. Stunned I placed a hand on my head and headed for Lucas's house hoping he knew something.
