Chapter 3:

Nathan's room

Brooke and Nathan had been in his room for approximately 1 hour and they were doing something nobody would have ever expected from the two of them, they were playing on a basketball game on the playstation. Even more astonishing was that Brooke was winning. 'Haha I'm kicking your ass, I hope you don't suck this bad at the real game or I'll be too ashamed to carry on cheering.' Nathan just laughed, this girl was cute and for once the idea of sleeping with her and then moving on didn't come to mind. 'So you're a cheerleader then?' 'Yeah, me and my best girly are here on cheerleading scholarships.' He could tell she loved cheerleading just by the way that she said it. 'Me and my brother are here on basketball scholarships, so I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other' he stated with a smirk. Brooke just smiled and agreed before setting down the control and saying that she should probably go. Nathan realized he wanted her to stay and so stood up as she did and said, 'Why don't you stay? And before you say anything I'm not planning on jumping you, you can stay in my brother's bed and besides I caught him talking to the curly blonde he was interested in so I doubt he'll come back here.' 'Curly blonde, the only one I know of at this college is Peyton, my girly'. 'It must be her then, weird huh?' Brooke thought about it for a second and just replied, 'yeah weird.'

Peyton's room

Lucas: Did you sketch all of these yourself?

Peyton: Yeah, I always draw and so umm yeah' se said getting slightly embarrassed that someone other than her dad and Brooke were seeing them.

Lucas could see she was a little nervous.

Lucas: They are really amazing, you're very talented

Peyton: Thanks, I guess I've always drawn, my mom used to when I was little and I guess I take after her.

Lucas: Do you get your looks from your mom?

Lucas smirked at this as he saw her begin to blush. Peyton couldn't help but think this guy was hot, and he was flattering her so he was obviously interested but she didn't want to move things along too fast so she just smiled at him, even though she had the urge to just dive on him at that exact moment. She needed to keep her cool, Peyton Sawyer does not get giddy over a guy, she's defensive and doesn't let guys get close because people always leave. Was this guy different? Could he honestly be this sweet and really just want to get to know her? She guessed that she would find out. It was getting late and he didn't want to leave because they had been having fun just getting to know each other but he knew he would have to go and find somewhere to sleep.

'I guess I had better get going, it's pretty late and you must be tired by now.' Peyton thought it was sweet how he didn't automatically expect to sleep in her room but she had to wonder where he was going to go considering his room was taken. 'Umm where will you stay?'. Lucas didn't know the answer to this and so he told her that. Peyton bit her lip slightly before saying to him, 'You can stay here if you want, I mean it isn't your fault that your room is taken and there's a spare bed here, you could sleep in mine and I'll take Brooke's since she won't be home.' Peyton knew she was rambling but she couldn't help it she was nervous and weirded out by the fact that she was inviting this guy to stay that she had only just met. It just didn't seem weird and she could tell he wasn't the type of guy to jump her in her sleep.

Lucas made sure that she was alright with him staying and then agreed. Lucas got into Peyton's bed and lay down while Peyton got into Brooke's. She was wide awake because she had so many things running through her mind, this guy was hot but could she trust him, he was sweet but did he like her in that way? Probably she thought as she smiled to herself and rolled over before saying goodnight and rolling over.

Lucas couldn't believe his luck at this moment, he had seen the most beautiful girl for the first time that day and now by some circumstances he was lay here in her bed. Of course not in the way he would eventually like to be lay here but for now this was more than good enough. The night had gone amazingly well and he felt that it could only get better and so he rolled over burying his head into her pillow which she must have brought from home because he was taking in her scent and it was intoxicating, sending him into a blissful and perfect sleep.
