"I really missed you Nate." Peyton said, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Peyton and Nathan were sitting on Nathan's couch together catching up on old times.

"Yeah I missed you too." Nathan said.

Peyton leaned closer to him and kissed him on the lips.

"Oh I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that." Peyton said starting to get up but Nathan grabbed her hand and pulled her back down.

"No, its ok." He said and kissed her again.

Next thing they knew, both their shirts were off and Peyton was on top of Nathan on the couch furiously making out.

All of the sudden Haley walked in and saw the two of them.

"Oh my god." Haley said blinking slowly to make sure she had actually seen what she thought she had just seen.

"Haley…" Nathan said apologetically.

"Shut up Nathan." Haley said, cutting him off. At his point Peyton had gotten off of Nathan and was putting her shirt back on. Nathan walked over to Haley who was walking out the door.

"Haley please, this meant nothing." Nathan said taking her hand.

Haley slapped him hard across the face "you're an ass." Haley then turned to leave but then she faced Nathan again.

"God Nathan, I slept with you. Did that mean nothing either?" Haley asked him.

"Well, I mean, I thought it wasn't that big of a deal." Nathan said.

"What?" Haley asked shocked "You've been lying to me this whole time…"

" I guess he just likes me better." Peyton said

"You're a whore." Haley said to Peyton.

"Whoa Haley calm down." Nathan said.

"Don't tell me to calm down. God what is going on here!"…

"Haley…. Haley… wake up." Nathan said shaking Haley who was sleeping, but muttering angrily in her sleep.

"No." Haley mumbled.

"Haley!" Nathan yelled. Haley finally woke up. She must've fallen asleep during the movie her and Nathan had been watching.

"Hey, are you ok?" Nathan asked her.

"Um, I was just having a really bad dream." Haley said.

"What about?" Nathan asked her.

"Huh? Oh it was just stupid. Listen it's getting late. I should get home." Haley said getting up from the couch.

"Oh ok, are you sure?" Nathan asked her. Grabbing her jacket off the couch.

"Um yeah." Haley said. Nathan helped her with her jacket and then kissed her softly on the lips.

"See you tomorrow." Haley said smiling.

"Ok bye," Nathan said a little confused.

Haley got into her car and let out a deep breath. Peyton had only been in a Laguna for a week and Haley was already worried that she was going to steal Nathan from her. Haley and Nathan hadn't even slept together yet, and she was terrified that once they did he would leave her. God that dream sucked.

Haley ended up driving to Brooke's house, because she needed some girl talk.

"Hey Haley." Brooke said letting her into Brooke's house. Brooke was wearing black sweatpants and a pink tank top. "What's up girl?" Brooke asked her.

"I've been kind of freaking out lately." Haley said.

"What about." Brooke asked her sitting down on her big couch.

"Well… You know Peyton is back in town…" Haley said sitting down across from Brooke.

"Yeah." Brooke replied.

"I keep having these dreams that she's gonna steal Nathan from me." Haley said.

"Oh Haley, I doubt Peyton would do that." Brooke said. "I mean I don't know Peyton that well, but she seems nice enough to let you have him, plus the whole Nathan Peyton thing didn't quite work out. I think they both know that." Brooke said.

"I know Peyton's nice, she's practically perfect, which is why this sucks so much more. I wish she was just a skanky whore so I could hate her with reason." Haley said.

"Whoa, 'skanky whore', that's strong language coming from you Haley." Brooke said.

"Oh shut up." Haley said smiling. "Why can't I just be like you?" Haley asked Brooke.

"What do you mean?" Brooke asked her interested.

"Ok don't take this the wrong way, but I wish I could just sleep with a guy and have it not be such a big deal." Haley said.

"Why would I take that the wrong way? I know I'm a slut." Brooke said laughing "Um but seriously, no you don't want to be like me. I can't get to close to a guy if someone pays me money." Brooke said.

"Life is hard." Haley said.

"So true." Brooke said.

"So what's the update on the Lucas-Sean thing?" Haley asked Brooke, now tired of talking about herself.

"Um, good question." Brooke said.

"How long are you gonna lead them both on?' Haley asked her.

"It's hard to chose." Brooke said "they're both great guys, and I mean I've known Sean for a long time and he's one of my best friends, but Lucas is like this really sweet new guy, and he's like such a gentleman. It sucks." Brooke said.

"Hmm… my brother a gentleman… weird." Haley said.

"Is it awkward that I've like made out with your brother?" Brooke asked Haley.

"Um, as long as we don't talk about it I think I'll live." Haley said.

"I guess Nathan is kind of like a brother to me, and it's not weird you guys are together." Brooke said.

"Nathan is like a brother to you? That is so cute Brooke. I didn't know you guys were that close." Haley said.

"Totally, I love Nathan… I mean not like steamy sex love cause I can't even imagining kissing Nathan… EW" Brooke said.

"Well that's good, I wish I could say the same for Courtney." Haley said, why did her man have to have all the other girls like him.

"I told Courtney to back off Nathan… and you." Brooke said.

"Did she get mad at you?" Haley asked Brooke.

"No, she understood. I know Courtney seems like a total bitch but she's really not. You just have to be on her good side." Brooke said.

"That's probably not going to happen for me." Haley said.

"Yeah probably not." Brooke said causing both Brooke and Haley to start laughing uncontrollably.

"Oh my god! I know! Dwight was so funny." Peyton said to Nathan. They were standing by the school lockers talking.

"He was like "I guess your PMSing pretty bad." Nathan said causing Peyton to laugh even more. Haley walked up to them.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Haley asked them.

"Oh just an episode of The Office." Nathan said.

"Oh I've never seen that show." Haley said.

"You've never seen The Office?" Peyton asked in disbelief "wow, its so good. You and Nathan should definitely watch it together." Peyton said, "Anyway I have to get to class.

Bye guys." Peyton said walking away happily.

"I have season's one and two on DVD." Nathan said to Haley "want to watch some this weekend?" Nathan asked Haley.

"Uh sure." Haley said.

"Good." Nathan said pulling Haley towards him and kissing her. He was going to deepen the kiss but Haley pulled away, she laughed nervously.

"Um I have to go… do something." Haley said walking away quickly.

"Will I see you at lunch?" Nathan asked her but she either didn't hear him or didn't want to answer because he got no response. He sighed.

"Problems with the GF?" Courtney asked Nathan walking up behind him.

"GF?' Nathan asked her.

"Girlfriend, come on Nathan, you know how Brooke and I love short-hand lingo." Courtney said smiling up at Nathan.

"Yeah I guess, but that doesn't mean I get all of it." Nathan said.

"Whatevs, I guess I'll leave you alone. I know you don't like me anymore." Courtney said.

"Come on Courtney, don't do that." Nathan said.

"Do what? Speak the truth?" Courtney asked him.

"I still like you, just not in the way you want me to." Nathan said.

"I know that, but…"

Nathan cut her off "Ok then stop trying to make me feel guilty. I can't help who I like Courtney." Nathan said sounding a little angrier then he had meant to. He looked down at Courtney who actually looked genuinely hurt.

"I'm sorry." Nathan said.

"No don't be. I can't help who I like either." Courtney said turning sharply and walking away from Nathan.

Brooke was sitting by herself at a table in the courtyard trying to catch up on some English homework. Sean came and sat down next to her.

"Hey hot stuff." Brooke said looking up from her homework and smiling at him.

"I see your trying to do your homework." Sean said.

"Yeah and its not very fun." Brooke said.

"You know what would be fun?" Sean asked her.

"Let me guess." Brooke said turning to look at him.

"Oh no, its ok I'll tell you." Sean said smiling and putting a hand on Brooke's shoulder.

"Ok then." Brooke said.

"You and me, going out tonight." Sean said.

"Well I guess we can do that, as long as we actually go out. I'm not doing anymore of this sex only thing with you." Brooke said.

"Ok, we'll go out in public, I promise." Sean said.

"Good." Brooke said just as Lucas walked up to the table.

"I should, uh probably get going." Sean said getting up.

"Oh um ok. See you later Sean." Brooke said waving bye to him.

Lucas stealthily took Sean's seat next to Brooke.

"Hey do you wanna do something tonight?" Lucas asked getting right to the point.

"Well I would love to, but the thing is, I can't tonight." Brooke said very matter of factly.

"Oh, um ok." Lucas said, clearly disappointed but trying not to show it.

"Please don't cry Luke." Brooke said jokingly.

"Shut up." Lucas said smiling again; Brooke could always make him smile.

"Is my little Lucas gonna be ok?" Brooke asked him using a baby voice.

Lucas laughed, "Who are you?" he asked her.

"Good question." Brooke said laughing with Lucas.

Sean walked down the hallway when he ran into Courtney coming out of the girl's bathroom.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Sean." Courtney said, her eyes were read and she was short of breath.

"That's um, not a problem." Sean said. "You ok Courtney?" he asked her.

"What? Why are you asking me that?" She asked him defensively.

"I don't know, you seem a little… out of sorts." Sean said, kind of as a question.

"You don't have to pretend to care about me Sean." Courtney said, "I know it's all Brooke for you."

"Oh, um I kind of thought you were still my friend Courtney." Sean said.

"Really?... listen, I need to talk to a friend about something, and I can't tell Brooke, because I just… can't. Would you mind playing the friend card and listening to my troubles?" Courtney asked him smiling insecurely.

"Sure." Sean said.

"It's just that… my family life has been really bad lately." Courtney said. "I would tell Brooke, really I would, it's just that she seems to be kind of distant from me lately. Like she's still mad at me or something." Courtney said.

"I don't think she is." Sean said "but I'm not always that great at reading Brooke." Sean said.

"Oh god…" Courtney said feeling the tears start to form in her eyes. "Um I'm sorry." Courtney said.

"Courtney… what's going on?" Sean asked her.

"I feel so stupid." Courtney said trying to laugh it off.

"You can tell me." Sean said putting a hand on her shoulder, a bit awkwardly.

"Hey do you wanna go to dinner with me tonight? I mean… god what is wrong with me? Your probably already going someplace with Brooke. I'm just gonna go now." Courtney said starting to walk away and crying as she did.

"Uh, Courtney, wait up." Sean said walking over to her. "I can go with you tonight."

"Really?" Courtney asked him, shocked.

"Yeah, um I mean I had like plans in the making with Brooke, but you look like you could use someone to talk to." Sean said.

"Wow, that's so sweet. Now I see why Brooke likes you so much." Courtney said almost smiling.

"Yeah." Sean said, not knowing what to say to that, and more worried about how he was going to tell Brooke about this.

"Ok, well I'll just call you after school, or later, or… whatever." Courtney said.

"Ok, great." Sean said, although he wasn't very pleased. Why had he just agreed to do that? This was going to be the most awkward dinner ever, and he was going to go on it, instead of having a fun dinner along with flirting with Brooke.

"Well Bye." Courtney said waving and skipping down the hallway.

Sean felt a pair of hands come up from behind and cover his eyes "Guess who?" Brooke's voice asked.

"Oh, lets see… Brooke Davis." Sean said.

"Ugh, your no fun." Brooke said running around to the other side of Sean so that she was facing him.

"Sorry, I like being boring." Sean said.

"So I'm excited for our little date tonight." Brooke said wrapping her arms around Sean's neck. "I'm in the mood to cuddle." Brooke said smiling up at him.

God… why did she have to make this so hard for him… 'She was in the mood to cuddle', any guy that passes that up, for a random talk with a freaked out teenage drama queen A.K.A Courtney, must be crazy.

"Um about that…" Sean started, not knowing why the hell these words were coming out of his mouth.

"Sean, you are not about to cancel on me." Brooke said backing away from him.

"Something kind of came up." Sean said.

"Well can't that something kind of… like go away?" Brooke whined.

"I'm sorry." Sean said, and he was genuinely sorry.

"Fine then." Brooke huffed "I guess I can just go out with Lucas." Brooke said starting to walk away.

"Brooke… wait a second." Sean said grabbing her hand and pulling her back to him.

"You don't need to go out with Lucas, just to replace me." Sean said.

"Oh I'm not replacing you." Brooke said.

"I think you are." Sean said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"No, because I was going to cancel on you anyway and go out with Lucas." Brooke said smiling.

"Oh really?" Sean asked her.

"Yeah, so there." Brooke said, challenging him.

"Well just remember this when you're on your date with Lucas." Sean said leaning down and pressing his lips onto hers in a warm kiss. Brooke pulled away, before giving in too much.

"I should go now." Brooke said.

"No…" Sean whined tightening his hold on her.

"Oh don't be a baby." Brooke said slipping away from him and starting to leave.

"Bye Brooke." Sean said smiling.

"Oh wait, what was I supposed to remember again?" Brooke asked him jokingly as she walked away.

"You are such a bitch." Sean said jokingly back.

"Your such an ASS." Brooke said, yelling the word ass.

"Brooke we're at school… please try to have a little respect." Sean said putting a serious face on.

"Oh you SO suck." Brooke said walking away faster.

Brooke had found Lucas after school and asked him to hang out that night, but he turned her down because he had agreed to hang out with Peyton. Brooke felt very rejected and decided she would make her own fun for the night. She ended up putting on a short missoni dress and headed to a random club. Once she got there she sat down by herself at the bar waiting for some hot guy to come hit on her.

After a couple of "hey baby, how are you"s, from sketchy guys, finally a cute one came up.

"You here by yourself?" was the first thing he said to her.

"Yeah, I kind of got stood up by my friends." Brooke shrugged, smiling up at the tall, tan, hazel eyed, perfect hair guy that stood in front of her. It was the kind of hair that you just wanted to run your hands through.

"That sucks." He said taking a seat next to her.

"Well I mean, not exactly stood up, but kind of." Brooke said.

"I think I know what you mean. Can I buy you a drink pretty girl… sorry I don't know your name." he said.

"No need to apologize, its Brooke." She said placing a hand on his shoulder "and yes you can buy me a drink."

"Great, my names Ben by the way." He said.

"I like that name." Brooke said smiling flirtatiously at him. Harmless flirting wasn't a bad thing.

"Thanks." Ben said.

"You know what, scratch that drink. Instead we should hit the dance floor." Brooke said standing up and holding put her hand for him to take.

Ben took in Brooke's appearance as a whole "Wow, you look really good." He said.

"Thanks, so are we going to dance or what?" She asked him.

"After you." He said taking her hand.

Brooke and Ben were grinding to the music; Ben was very touchy-feely with Brooke.

"So are you in high school or college?" Ben asked Brooke.

"Oh college" Brooke lied.

"Cool me too." He said. Brooke turned around so she was facing Ben and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You're really hot." Brooke said smiling.

"So are you." He said.

Without thinking about Lucas, or Sean, or anybody else Brooke leaned up and kissed Ben.

"Wow." He said when she pulled away.

"Hey do you wanna go someplace more… quiet?" Brooke asked him. She didn't care about anything other then the fact that she really needed to hook up with someone right then.

"Sure, how about my car?" He asked her.

"Great." She said.

Haley was at her house doing homework when the doorbell rang. She lazily got off the couch and walked to the door. It was Nathan.

"Uh Nathan, hi." Haley said surprised he didn't call.

"Hey, um sorry I didn't call." He said, god he could just read her mind.

"No problem. What's up?" Haley asked him motioning for him to come inside, which he did.

"Uh just wanted to see how you were, you've been acting a little weird lately." Nathan said.

"I've been acting weird? What do you mean?" Haley asked him.

Nathan said down on the couch and Haley said down next to him.

"I mean, just like with today you kind of kept running off, and making weird excuses whenever I like tried to kiss you." Nathan said.

"I'm just not a big fan of PDA" Haley said shrugging.

"Ok, you could've told me that earlier." Nathan said.

"I know I just…" Haley trailed off in the middle of her thoughts "That's actually not why I've been weird."

"Then why?" Nathan asked her, intrigued.

"Of I tell you, your going to think I'm some insecure, and immature five year old." Haley said.

"No, Haley I won't." Nathan said placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"I'm worried ok. I'm worried that your going to leave me for Peyton, and even worse I'm worried that I'm going to sleep with you and then you'll leave me for Peyton, because Nathan I'm really falling for you even though I haven't known you for every long, and I don't want the same thing to happen to me as it did before." Haley said quickly and she would've continued, but Nathan who was smiling the whole time pulled her face to his and kissed her softly.

"Are you done?' he asked her.

"I guess." Haley said pouting.

"Haley." Nathan said smiling, and laughing a little at how insane she was "I am not going to leave you for Peyton."

"Are you sure?" Haley asked him.

"Of course, Peyton and I do no work as a couple. She's my friend, but nothing more. I promise." Nathan said. "And as for the whole sex thing. Haley please do not worry about it. I'm willing to wait for you."

"Really?" Haley asked him smiling, this guy was something else.

"I mean maybe not till marriage." Nathan said smiling.

"Shut up." Haley hit him on the shoulder "Believe me I don't plan on waiting that long."

"It's fine Haley. As long as we can do one thing though." Nathan said.

"Yeah and what's that?" She asked seductively.

Nathan leaned over and kissed Haley again, this time with much more passion.

"Oh, I love doing this." Haley said in between kisses.

"Me too." Nathan said pulling her on top of him, making her laugh while they kissed more.

Brooke forced her lips onto Ben's meeting him in a fiery kiss. They were in the back seat of his car; She was on top of him.

"Aren't you hot in that shirt?" She asked him jokingly.

"Yes, I am." He said, leaning up a little and taking his shirt off to reveal perfect muscles.

"Nice." Brooke said staring in awe.

"I work out." He said faking a macho voice.

"Oh, sure." Brooke said laughing.

"Shut up." He said wrapping his arms around her and turning her over so that now he was on top of her.

"Oh nice move." Brooke said sarcastically, as Ben was kissing her neck. He slowly moved down until he reached her shirt.

"Need more access?" She asked him smiling.

"That'd be nice." He said kissing her quickly before helping her with taking her shirt off.

All of the sudden Brooke sat up and stopped taking her shirt off.

"I can't do this." Brooke said. The two boys she had been avoiding thinking about all night were suddenly back in her mind: Lucas and Sean.

"What's wrong?" he asked her, running his hands through her hair.

"Um…" Brooke didn't want to explain the problem with her two "boys" so she just said the first thing that came to her mind "I'm a virgin." What the fuck, she thought to herself.

"Oh wow." Ben said sitting straight up in shock.

Brooke could feel her face starting to get really red "Anyways nice meeting you." Brooke said grabbing her jacket and getting out of the car as quickly as possible. That was by far the worst lie she had ever told…

Brooke decided to stop and get coffee on her way home. She needed to sit and clear her mind. When she walked into a star bucks she saw none other then Sean and Courtney sitting at a table together, looking like they were in deep discussion.

Brooke marched over to them, very angry.

"You ditched me tonight to hang with Courtney?" Brooke asked Sean.

"Brooke, what are you doing here?" Sean asked her, the words 'oh shit' running through his mind.

"Um I wanted some coffee. What the hell are you doing here?" Brooke asked him.

"It's not what you thing, really." Sean said.

"Yeah Brooke, please don't freak out. This is not a big deal." Courtney said.

"IF it's not a big deal then why didn't you just tell me?" Brooke asked Sean, not even wanting to deal with Courtney.

"You should really talk to Courtney about this." Sean said.

"What is going on?" Brooke asked them both.

"I'm just having some family problems, and Sean is listening to them." Courtney said.

"Um, Courtney, why wouldn't you ask me… your best friend?" Brooke asked her.

"I don't even know Brooke, it just felt weird, and ever since our fight I feel like you don't really like me." Courtney said, sounding exasperated.

"That's not how it is Courtney." Brooke said.

"All I can say is that I'm sorry. Next time I will definitely talk to you, now that I know your not still mad at me." Courtney said.

"Whatever, I need to go." Brooke said walking out of Starbucks very quickly.

The next day at school Brooke was at her locker when Lucas walked up to her.

"Hey there." Lucas said.

"Hi Lucas, how was your date with Peyton last night?" She asked him, trying to give him a hard time.

"It was not a date Brooke. We just hung out, and to be honest I was just thinking of you the whole time." Lucas said.

"Aw, that's so sweet." Brooke said hugging Lucas.

"Look, since we didn't get to hang out a last night, how about tonight you and me go on a real date?" Lucas asked her.

"Um, sure…" Brooke said, not really sure why she was hesitating.

"Don't tell me your already busy with Sean." Lucas said.

"No, I'm definitely not. I'm kind of mad at him right now actually." Brooke said.

"Oh, well speak of the devil." Lucas said seeing Sean walk up to the two of them.

"Hi Brooke, Lucas." Sean said, "Can I talk to you Brooke?" Sean asked her placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Um Lucas, I will see you tonight for sure, I can't wait." Brooke said enthusiastically so that Sean would definitely hear. Then she started to walk away. Sean looked at Lucas angrily one last time before running after Brooke again.

"Brooke wait up, please." Sean said.

"I don't want to talk to you Sean." Brooke said, still walking.

"Courtney didn't want me to tell you." Sean said grabbing her hand. Brooke stopped and looked at him.

"Ok but…" Brooke was going to say something, but behind Sean she saw Ben, the Ben from last night Ben.

"Shit hide me." Brooke said standing closer to Sean, who didn't mind, but it was too late Ben already saw her.

"Brooke?" he said walking up to her.

"Ben, hi." Brooke said smiling, trying to keep up her cool.

"You know this guy?" Sean asked her.

"Um. What are you doing here?" Brooke asked Ben, ignoring Sean's question.

"I just transferred here." Ben said.

"Your in high school?" Brooke asked him.

"Apparently you are too." Ben said.

"What is going on? How do you two know each other?" Sean asked them.

"I met him last night." Brooke said.

"Where?" Sean asked them.

"A club." Ben said, "This is kind of awkward, can we go talk somewhere Brooke?" Ben asked her.

"Why?" Brooke asked him.

"Because… I mean you know why. I had no idea that you were gonna say what you did last night."

"What did she say?" Sean asked, fully confused as to what was going on.

"Nothing, I didn't say anything. We need to stop having this conversation, right now." Brooke yelled, feeling sort of faint.

"Yeah you did, halfway to hooking up you told me you were a virgin." Ben said.

Brooke gasped, and stood back in shock that Ben said that aloud. Sean started laughing uncontrollably.

"What's so funny?" Ben asked Sean.

"Brooke's not a virgin." Sean said.

"Hey I thought for sure she wasn't one, but she had me fooled." Ben said.

"No man" Sean said putting hand on Ben's shoulder "Trust me, she's not a virgin."

"Um SHE is right here." Brooke said swatting Sean's hand off of Ben.

"Your not a virgin?" Ben asked her.

Brooke sighed, "I hate my life." Brooke said to no one in particular.

"Brooke, I can't believe you told this guy you were a virgin, I mean anything else but that would make at least some sense." Sean said.

"So your not a virgin then?" Ben asked her.

"No I am not a virgin!" Brooke yelled, causing everyone in the hallway to turn and look at her, most of the guys were laughing, probably because they had hooked up with her.

"I should get to class." Sean said, "Can we talk later Brooke?" Sean asked her.

"I guess." Brooke said, too tired to fight of Sean's hotness powers right now.

"Good, bye." He said walking away.

Brooke and Ben were left staring at each other awkwardly before Brooke said:

"Well welcome to Laguna High."
