Lucas looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a black tux. His hair was perfect. But one thing seemed to be missing. "Damn!" He said as he struggled to put on his tie. Haley had always helped him with that. She was always there to wish him luck before things like these, but not today. Now she was always busy. Now she had Nathan. He couldn't believe Haley was already back together with that jerk. She had basically chosen Nathan over him. Apparently no matter what Nathan did he has her heart. He always gets what he wants. "Lucky bastard." Lucas whispered to himself as he grabbed his keys with a feeling of hopelessness.

"Ring!" Haley took one last look at the mirror before she went to answer the door. She had never really dressed up before. She was really excited to go to her first dance but she wasn't going with the person she thought she'd be going with. She thought about going to say hi to Luke before she left, but realizing the time she knew he had already left to pick up Peyton.

"Hey!" Said a surprised Nathan as she opened the door. "Wow, you look beautiful."

"Thanks."

Then he leaned in to kiss her. But this time wasn't like before. It wasn't like when she thought she was in love with him. It didn't even feel quite right. But she quickly shook those thoughts out of her head. He's taken. She thought as they drove towards Tree Hill High.

"Peyton, you look great." Lucas said with a smile on his face as she walked out of her house.

"Now, you take good care of her." Peyton's dad said as they walked towards Luke's car. "No naughty business."

"Dad, we're just friends." Peyton yelled to him as Luke opened the door her.

"Sure." He said as they drove off.

While he was driving, Lucas looked at the gorgeous women next to him. Why does this feel wrong?

When they got to the dance Haley and Nathan quickly hit the dance floor. Lucas and Peyton arrived a few minutes later.

"Want to get something to drink?" Peyton asked him.

"Naww, let's dance." Lucas said seeing Haley and Nathan. He held out his hand and they started dancing.

While they were dancing, Tim came up to Nathan and whispered something in his ear.

"No way!" Nathan said with a shocked look on his face.

"Way!" Tim said back smiling.

"Right now?" Nathan asked.

"Yea."

"Haley, I'll be right back." Nathan said as he practically ran out the door.

Meanwhile, someone else interrupted Lucas and Peyton dancing.

"Yea, you guys definitely aren't going out." Said an angry voice that both immediately recognized.

"Brooke, we're just here as friends." Replied an annoyed Peyton.

Just as the slow song came on, Luke noticed a beautiful young girl standing alone on the dance floor. "Yea, we're just friends." He agreed with Peyton as he walked towards Haley.

"Where's your date?" Lucas asked her.

"Where's yours?" Haley replied.

"Right here, I'm hoping." He said as he looked into her eyes. "May I have this dance?" He asked holding out his hand.

"You win by elimination." She said taking it.

As they slow danced both knew that this was right. Haley looked up at Lucas' eyes. She wanted him to kiss her. Lucas looked down at her and wanted to kiss her too but he remembered what had happened a few days ago. "I don't want this enough to risk my best friend over it." Rang though his mind. She too heard the words she had said in her head and knew it was now or never. She closed her eyes and kissed him. The spotlight hit them and everything else seemed to stop. A crowd stood around watching them practically make out in the middle of the dance floor. In the crowd stood Nathan and Peyton.

"I guess you are just friends after all." Brooke said with a grin on her face as she watched Peyton's face fall.

In the crowd there also stood a devious blonde with an evil plan...
