Chapter 11 - Girls and Aww

It was the next morning, Lucas had left his house to meet Peyton so they could walk to school together. The whole way there he couldn't stop smiling he was so happy. He knew deep in his heart that there was no one else for him and that they would work together.

Knock Knock

"Hey Luke what brings you here? And why did you knock?" Peyton said after answering the door and gesturing him in.

"Well girlfriend I came to walk you to school. When it comes to knocking I don't actually know." he replied puzzled he would never usually knock.

"Girlfriend hey? I like the sound of that" she replied and they shared a passionate kiss.

"So you ready to go?" Lucas said once the kiss broke.

"Yeah" she replied grabbing her bag

So they began the walk to school hand in hand. "So you're quite the gentleman huh? walking me to school and all."

"Yeah we must be getting pretty serious." he replied teasingly.

"I guess we are" she said playing along.

"This is good isn't it me and you…us?" He said on a more serious note.

"Yeah…It's perfect"

"That's good to hear I just wanted to make sure. I know you've had your doubts but believe me you've got nothing to worry about"

"I know that now" she replied smiling and they both stopped walking and shared another kiss.

"Well looks like we're here" Luke said as they entered the school grounds

"Yeah another boring day, the only highlight is Art"

"I heard you were working on a project how's that going?"

"Really great actually. Ryan is really talented and we've both got the same vision for our project"

"Glad to hear it. This Ryan what's he like?"

"Why the sudden interest?"

"What can't a boyfriend take an interest in his girlfriend's life?"

"I guess…but there's something you're not telling me"

"Okay you got me. I'm a little jealous I know I shouldn't be but I can't help it"

"Aww" she replied smiling

"The typical girl response where's the 'bless him'"

"I thought I'd leave that out. Look you have nothing to worry about I don't like him like that, and he hasn't shown an interest in me in that way. Besides Brooke's already got her eyes set on him and you should trust me."

"You're right and I do trust you. I just don't wanna lose you, you're my world." He replied and Peyton couldn't help but smile.

"You've got a way with words" with that said she leaned in and they shared another kiss

"You know we could blow school off"

"No way"

"Why not?"

"I used to get into that sort of trouble when I was dating Nathan"

"Oh really?"

"Yes and well I know my Dad isn't around much but the school still has a way of contacting him."

"Okay we'll have to get into trouble outside of school hours"

"Now you're talking" She replied and they both laughed and headed to their first class.

(A couple of hours later)

Brooke and Peyton were in art class talking. Brooke was pretty much letting her partner do all the work whilst gossiping with Peyton. She would also occasionally sketch a few fashion designs but when it came to her actual art project you'd be lucky if she knew what it was about.

"So P sawyer how's everything with broody? I heard his little speech yesterday it was so cute."

"More like embarrassing but everything is going great but he was a little jealous this morning."

"Really what about?"

"Ryan"

"Why its not like there is anything going on between you two, that boy is mine" she replied playfully looking over at Ryan who was getting more paint

"I know I told him I don't like him like that anyway we're fine he said he trusts me"

"Good so Peyton you talk to Ryan right?"

"Yeah we are working together who's you're partner again?"

"Don't ask me I've got no idea what our project is anyway back to the point could you do me a big favour?" Brooke said using her puppy dog eyes

"What do you want?"

"Well find out about Ryan see what kind of girl he likes, find out what he's into, whether he has a girlfriend"

"Okay since you're my best friend I'll see what I can do"

"Thanks you're the best"

"Brooke Davis"

"Yeah" She replied turning round

"I don't believe Miss Sawyer is your partner"

"I know but"

"But nothing get back with your partner and get to work"

"Fine" she replied. She gazed around the room and a few moments later spoke "Who's my partner again?"

"That would be me" a boy replied looking a little frustrated.

Meanwhile Lucas and Haley were sat together in English which was their favourite lesson especially for Lucas he loved to read and write.

"So how is everything with you and Blondie" Haley asked and Lucas laughed a little

"Great" he replied smiling

"Well you haven't stopped smiling all day so great must be well really great"

"It really is. How about you everything okay? You and Nathan doing okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine and well Nathan and I are as great as two married teens can be" she replied smiling

"How did you know?"

"Know what?"

"That you were ready to get married"

"Easy. I love Nathan with all my heart and well I guess I knew that there wasn't going to be anyone else for me cause no one could ever compare to him"

"Are we talking about the same Nathan?"

"Hey" she replied playfully hitting his arm "So why the sudden interest? you thinking of marrying Peyton?" Haley said jokingly but then noticed the serious look on Luke's face "You are aren't you?"

"I love her Hales and yes I want to marry her and like you and Nathan there's no one else out there for me but it's too soon for us."

"Why is it?"

"We've only just properly got together and I don't want to rush things there is plenty of time for us to get married in the future but one thing I do know is she is definitely my wife to be"

"Aww"

"What is it with girls and aww"

"I don't know I guess its just a girl thing"
