Chapter 2: Deceit
Two weeks later, Lucas watched his mom leave for that culinary school. He walked back into the house and lay down on the couch. *Perhaps I should call her. I mean she IS my girlfriend, and it isn't her fault I can't stand to look at her rather than Peyton.* He laughed to himself. *At least she doesn't hate me after telling everyone that she goes to another school. But don't I want her to hate me?* After some of her friends had told her that he had said she went to another school, she had been furious. Lucas was sure that they would break up, and he was happy about it. And, like he guessed, they HAD broken up, but they had gotten back together. He couldn't remember why, or how, it had happened. It just did. And over the following days, the broke up, and got back together, and broke up, and got back together, in an endless cycle. He was sure they had broken up 10 times by the end of the week. And, somehow, they had always gotten back together. Now, he found himself giving her a bracelet between science and Spanish, or stealing a quick kiss from her before they parted after school. *But why? I don't even like her?* Regardless, he picked up the phone and dialed her number.

Peyton lay on her bed, listening to her favorite cd from Evanescence. Actually, it was playing but her thoughts were elsewhere. *Lucas is a fool.* Once Peyton had learned that his girlfriend was Erin, not a girl from another school, she had been heartbroken. Not only was Erin her friend, and she had neglected to tell her that she had a boyfriend, but also, one of Peyton's friends once told her, long-distance relationships don't work. And now, all of her careful planning was ruined. Every time they broke up, she was overjoyed, but then they always got back together, leaving her alone and heartbroken again.
Erin had told her countless times that Lucas liked her, she told Brooke the same thing, but each time, Peyton denied it. *Why can't I just admit it? If I did, maybe it would break those two up. Erin said she liked someone else anyway.* Peyton had realized long ago that she was a chicken, and that if she continued to be one, she would never get Lucas.
*Even after all this deceit, I know I love Lucas. But after everything, is he really worth it?*
