-"I don't know much about him. Only from what happened in the Sawyer history"
-"Just tell me what you know"
----------------------------------------------------------------
-" Well ... You must know that Tree Hill is a crazy place. Lucas' dad was a businessman in car sector who travelled a lot. After he knocked up Lucas's mom he left, but gave her the financial support to raise the child. A month after the 'accident' his father decided to settle and married Peyton's mom whom husband had died in a car accident leaving her pregnant. When Lucas's mother died two years ago he had no choice but to come here. Being the spoiled child she never accepted him , but one month later Peyton's mom died as well and that's when the kids bonded. They didn't see each other as stepbrother and sister anymore. He was the big brother she never had. Peyton was really upset about her mother's death ... that's when the tyranny started, but somehow the regime never fell down and no one dared to stop her from destroying everything. It was somewhere around that time as well that Lucas got into a serious relationship with a girl named "Rachel" who was very smart, kind and beautiful, but had only one bad quality. This "Rachel" never let other people command her life. Probably the main reason why Lucas liked her so much. Anyway ... she was the only one who didn't want to listen or bend to the new "Queen".
Brooke was carefully listening to Haley's story
-"So what happened next?"
-"A Cold War started! The whole school divided in two major parts. The ones who hated Peyton where with Rachel and the ones who were scared of Peyton were on the other side. Lucas found himself torn between his step sister and his girlfriend. He tried to stop the fights and clean up the mess, but it was too late. He had to make a choice.
-"So ... who did he choose?"
-"He told Peyton she was taking things way to heavy and they had a huge fight. Trying to make her understand that it wasn't a game, she pulled her further back in her shell cause she lost the last person she trusted. Lucas was mad about Peytons decisions and decided that it could only end if he brought Peyton to a sense himself so he had to fight against her insanity. Less and less people started to feel scared and joined the rebellion club. Peyton was left alone and people started looking down on her like she was a piece of dirt but destiny wasn't ready to let evil go away from this world. The rising popularity made Rachel change her personality. When Lucas found out she was cheating on him he was even more devastated than after his own mother's death. Rachel didn't want to do anything with Lucas anymore so the only one who was there for him to pick up the broken pieces of his heart was Peyton. She let her heart be filled with hate watching Lucas, the last thing that was ripped away from her by Rachel, suffer.
-"Ow my God!"
-"I know ... The 'new' Peyton was invincible. She didn't use words, her actions explained everything she wanted to say. Alone with Lucas on her side she took revenge, but not only on Rachel and her friends. Everyone who ever let Peyton down or supported Rachel was severely punished. I don't know how she did it but Rachel ended up in mental institution. Four months later she committed war ended. There was no one left who even dared to contradict Peyton who was still looking for someone to destroy so she could relieve her heart. Hate became from an interest an addiction. An obsession that couldn't be stopped anymore. Lucas was almost the only one who spoke to her. He was the one who helped her to calm down, but she did a great job helping him to get over someone the best way she knew.
-"What was that?"
-"Destroying peoples lives. Somewhere then they started playing these cruel games. Every week they made a bet with each other. I remember it all started with a simple bet for an icecream. Peyton bet that Lucas was unable to sleep with a Sister Maria Clara."
-"A nun?"
-"That's right ... We all thought those games were rumors until Peyton took it to the next level. One bet changed suddenly many lives at school. During the lessons the whole school found out that the headmistress and Lucas were having sex in her cabinet through the speakers in the classrooms."
-"He had sex with our headmistress? Why isn't she replaced then?"
Haley laughed.
-"And who would do that? Peyton did her fair share as well! The School Counsel was under her command. They destroyed relationships like card houses. One by one. Lucas had probably slept with more girls before he turned seventeen than a rock-star would on a worldtour if it lasted 3 years. The most funny thing was even while he broke countless hearts all the girls wanted to be with him. Every one of whom hoped to be the one for him. Peyton was searching more for powerful older men
-"They are two sick kids"
-"No ... The sick part just started when more people became interested and wanted to join them so they could raise their popularity.
-"What? There was a club?
-"It's actually more undercover, but you can pretty much rule those people out. Peyton despised them most of all because of their cheap behaviour. As their organization Lucas stepped outside. He didn't like it anymore cause Peyton turned their secret intimate game into something public. The painful thing about that was that this club vested some rules. Rule number one was 'once you're in, there's no way back'. The Queen had to make an important decision. Eliminate Lucas or lose the organization and her power.
-"Aaaand?"
-"She was extremely angry, but suprisingly enough she gave it all up. She let him go without any consequences."
-"Are we still talking about Peyton?"
-"Yeah ... You haven't heard the good part yet."
-"What's that?'
-"She became ... bearable."
-"Wauw. Didn't see that coming"
-"She was still pretty mad about his actions, but they ended all the nonsense they started and became even closer from the fact that she took the high road and let him go. As she lost the power she was holding so tight so everyone could breathe again ... sadly enough no one stays happy in Tree Hill long enough."
-"Why? What happened?"
-"Lucas and Peyton had a huge fight. The famous "Heyton" was back . The Sawyers didn't speak for 2 weeks to each other. Then she left Tree Hill"
-"What? Why?
-"No one knows how it all started. Many thought there was something between Lucas and Peyton ... after the crap they pulled out no one would be surprised something not natural like that."
-"So what happened next?"
-"A month after Peyton left Lucas tried to settle down with a certain girl again ,but things didn't work out for them. His second official girlfriend cheated on him as well. He let her go easily and we thought he didn't mind at first cause they were not that long together, but then he seduced her and spread the movie on the Internet. He let himself be absorbed by the dark side again. Peyton came back 5 months later when the new year started. It was the beginning of hell again. The bitch in Peyton was back. Better, stronger and even more heinous. To show everyone who had the power she picked out an innocent girl on the first day of school and challenged her in front of everybody to get a permission for everyone to leave the school early and organize a party at her house for the evening. An impossible mission! Anybody would decline that! But she also gave her a red envelope with Rachel's photo inside of a few days before her death with a note "Are you next?". The girl, Bevin , succeeded in her task with some help of her friends and mostly of her rich daddy. She became her first follower and an ally. Lucas and Peyton didn't speak at all the first week. Things were obviously different between them. Something that happened before she left 5 months ago irritated both of them."
-"You think they slept together?"
-"That was my first thought. But it seemed that things were much more complicated than that. Sex never meant anything to anyone of them. It was a way to get what they wanted or just a pleasure."
-"What happened after that?"
-"Nothing. Peyton ruled the school once again and everyone obeyed her. It was like she never left. Lucas got back in touch with her but everyone could feel the tension between them."
-"What do you mean with 'tension'?"
-"Sure they talked, but they were never seen together at the same place anymore. Both of them still hated each other, but neither of them wanted to do something about it so they avoided each other. Peyton's hate was once again on top of the world. Because she couldn't do nothing to Lucas she started teasing other people. She enjoyed watching everyone and everything suffer. Nothing should be spared in her eyes. No exception should be made. The dark was absorbing the school once again. It was at that moment that Lucas decided to do something. As much as everyone thought that he would stand up against his sister he didn't. Instead he joined her again. The truth is that she stopped hurting people. At least in public."
-"What is that suppose to mean?"
-"You see ... Peyton was a bitch, no wonder she's the head cheerleader, but she didn't show it as much as before. Everyone knew what she was able to do, but now she acted more mature. The drama queen was gone, but the word "Bitch" got a new definition. Without saying anything people around her understood what she wanted them to do. With Lucas on her side 6 months passed ... till something else destroyed her peace."
-"What's that?"
-"You! You humiliated her and now I'm afraid that she's going to bring you down as well"
Brooke laughed.
-"I guess it's true after all. She really is a bitch, but I guess it's about time to disappoint her again. Cause I'm not even thinking to go down without a fight."
-"Brooke. I know you're new here, but I really like you and I would hate myself if anything happened to you."
-"I know Hales and I love you for that but I guess it's time for you to realize that you don't know much about me. Peyton's not the only bitch around there. I was a head cheerleader as well, remember?"
Haley let a smile appear on her face.
-"Maybe ... but please, I'm begging you to avoid her"
-"And I will! As long as she doesn't cross my path."
Brooke took Haley's hands trying to make clear to her that everything would be okay.
-"Why are we getting so depressed when this is such a great day for you. You ready for your date?"
Haley looked shocked at her friend. Then her eyes started looking desperately for a clock
-"Ow my God! Brooke! What time is it? I totally forgot!"
-"Don't worry Tutor Girl! Just enough time for you to go home and get dressed! Just don't freak out tonight okay?"
A more comforting face.
-"Yeah ... I'll try"
-"Are you ready for it?"
-"I might be. But then I'll have to leave now."
-"It's okay Hales. I'm kind of tired so I'm going to crawl between the sheets anyway. Call me tomorrow with all the details!"
Haley stood up.
-"I'm gonna let myself out, don't want you to feel pain"; she said pointing on Brooke's leg.
-"Haley!"
Brooke stood up fast.
-"The bandage was just a trick for Lucas. But I guess I won't need that one anymore"
-"I'll see you tomorrow."
-"Bye Hales. No sex on a first date!"
She closed the door
Tree Hill was definitely a crazy place.

I know ... I'm a sick person.
I wrote a sex scene in chapter 8, but I get a feeling that it makes the story kind of cheaper. It's good and funny though ... so please reply I you already want to see/read it or if you can wait a little bit longer.
