Chapter 3: The Library
Peyton walked into school with her usual attitude, the whole my-life- sucks-big-time-because-I-can't-have-the-guy-I-want-and-both-my-parents-are- gone-and-most-of-my-friends-are-liars drama, wearing a black logo hoodie, red and blue plaid skirt, fishnets and knee-high boots. She was listening to her beloved Maroon 5 CD and trying to figure out when she would have time to stop by the library and pick up that Ray Bradbury book that Lucas suggested, Something Wicked This Way Comes, or something.
Her head was down while she was trying to schedule library time on her PDA, so she didn't notice her Chemistry partner, Rachel, coming towards her. Rachel tiptoed around her and tapped her on her shoulder. Peyton jumped and her PDA flew across the room.
"Rachel! Why did you do that!" Peyton asked, suprised. She stuffed her CD player into her black messenger bag and bent down to reach for her PDA. Rachel bent to pick it up to, but they were both beat to it by Jake Jagelski (sp?). They all stood up.
"Here, Peyton. Thanks for watching Jenny yesterday. I'll see you at practice," Jake said as he walked away. Peyton smiled and put her PDA in her bag. She handed her a copy of the Chemistry homework that she had volunteered to do, no use in both of them having to do it.
"So, what's up, Rach?" Peyton asked as she handed her the assignment. Rachel was staring off down the hall towards the gym, where Jake just ducked in.
"Hello! Are you oblivious to anyone but Lucas? That hottie was just totally flirting with you. If I were you, I'd forget about Lucas and go after that guy. He looked REAL good! What's wrong with your skull?" Rachel finished off her rant.
"You mean Jake? He's just another basketball player. I babysit his daughter sometimes. Jenny. She's a sweetheart," Peyton replied, distracted. Lucas was walking down the hall towards her.
"Peyton. It's obvious. Jake. likes. you." She explained as if talking to a stupid little kid. Peyton shrugged and began to walk away. Away from Rachel. Away from Lucas. It was all too much. Rachel rushed to catch up and continued on her rant. "Let me get this straight. I like Jake. Jake likes you. You and Brooke both like Lucas. Lucas likes Erin. And you're too caught up in Lucas to realize that you could have any guy in the school. What the he-"
Peyton cut her off. "I'm off to the Library. See you in Chem class."
*****
Lucas cussed to himself. *Why is Peyton avoiding me?* He followed her to the library. He hid behind a shelf while watching her search the computer's database for a book. *Something Wicked Comes This Way? One copy left? Perfect!* He sneaked off to the fiction section and took the last copy. He hid on the other side of the shelf and waited for her to come.
Lucas her the soft shuffle of her boots on the carpet. He ducked down.
"Where is it? There's supposed to be one more copy!" She whispered to herself. Luke crept around the corner.
"I heard your looking for this?" He held up the book and flipped through the pages. "Great book." She reached for it. "Nope. Not until you tell me why you're avoiding me?"
"I'm not avoiding you," she jumped for the book and grabbed it. "Thanks." Lucas watched her go to the counter and check it out. Then, he noticed Jake. They were in deep conversation. He felt a pang of jealousy.
