Chapter 4 : Oh my!Romance...

Marc was Karen's nephew, but what Peyton didn't know, is that Marc was Brooke's cousin. Marc didn't want to tell Peyton. Well, Brooke never told Peyton about Marc because they weren't close. But, what Brooke didn't know is that Marc is about to transfer to Tree Hill.

-----

At Charleston...

Lucas woke up in the morning, about 6 am. Keith woke him up. Now, normally Keith doesn't really wake people up that well but now he was saying the words, 'Wake up Luke, schools up.' And now that Lucas transferred to Charleston, that phrase was the worst of all for him.

Lucas stretched his arms and stood up from the bed.

He saw donuts and milk on the kitchen table so he grabbed one and ate quickly. Rushed to the bathroom and took a bath. Went to his room and dressed up. Got out of the house and went to school. Keith was so surprised because he only moved for 30 minutes. Then he was done. That was unbelievable.

On his way to the school bus, he saw Taylor sitting at the bench reading a magazine about celebrities. He slowly grabbed the magazine which surprised Taylor. Taylor said,

"Oh hey Lucas! You're early."

"So are you. Say, is this the normal time you go here?"

"Pretty much."

Lucas just gave her the 'why?' face and so she answered.

"Cause, I want peace and quiet in reading and the only place I can do that is here, at 6:00 am. Sounds pretty weird but I like being alone and just appreciate the morning, the peace, no interruptions, you know?"

"Well, since our class is at 8:00 and the bus arrives at 7:30, mind if I join you?"

"Not at all..."

Lucas sat beside her and then she just read. And Lucas felt silly but...

"Hey, you wanna hang-out for a while, I mean, it is really early and really cold here."

"(Laughed for a while) Yeah sure. I'd like to do that once more. You wanna hang-out at my house?"

"Ahh...Yeah sure."

"Okay, let's go!"

Lucas and Taylor went to Taylor's house. Now, what Lucas didn't know is that Taylor's mom, Megan, was a dancer. Or she normally has a dancing class every morning that's why Taylor also wakes up because she's very interrupted by her mom. So, when they entered the house, there were lots of tapes and CDs of dance songs at there CD rack.

Taylor held Lucas' hand and brought him to her room where there are normal stuffs. Taylor introduced her room to Lucas and Lucas just simply laughed. Taylor went to the computer and Lucas followed. They surfed the net and found some interesting sites. They were having fun looking at the internet sites. Then, suddenly they just found their selves looking at each other. They were eye-to-eye. They were both feeling the heartbeat. Lucas was admiring her. And Taylor was falling for Lucas. She was surprised, she never felt this way before. Then Lucas touched Taylor's cheeks and leaned nearer to Taylor. He closed his eyes and Taylor closed hers. She leaned closer to Lucas. Her lips touched his and without knowing it, they were already kissing passionately. Taylor held Lucas' hand and Lucas was touching her face with his other hand.

Taylor forgot that she alarmed her clock 7:00 am.

So, at exactly 15 minutes after kissing, the noise of the alarm clock disturbed them and they both came to their senses. Taylor quickly got off Lucas and fixed her hair and told Lucas in a shy way,

"We should be going now, the bus is about to arrive in 30 minutes."

Taylor grabbed her coat and Lucas followed her out of the room. While they were walking Lucas talked to her,

"Hey Taylor, what happened there..."

"Look, what happened there was..."

"Was?"

"Nothing... Forget it..."

The bus came early so they both entered the bus and sat together and weren't really noticing each other. Taylor was in deep shock and she didn't know what she was feeling for Lucas. She just continued being quiet. Lucas on the other hand was trying to figure out if he was falling for Taylor.

They finally arrived school, and as for usual they headed together to their same class, Algebra. Their teacher, Mr. Finch, was so boring and all that all students were already sleeping. As a long time teacher, Mr. Finch did something to widen those very tiny eyes of his students. So he looked around his class and looked for a couple. Nobody was good enough. Then he found Lucas and Taylor sitting together. So he called both of them and ordered them to stand in front. Mr. Finch said,

"Okay sleepy heads, I'm going to do something different today since exams are still in 3 weeks, we won't have regular Algebra class today. Instead, we're going to have a truth or dare day. Okay?"

"Yeah!wooh!!!" the class yelled.

"Now, Ms. Taylor and Mr. Lucas here are our first couple. Now, the class is gonna be asking the both of you and of course, prior to the games title, you're gonna tell the truth. Alright?"

"Yeah..." Lucas answered.

"Okay.." Taylor followed.

"Okay, first stop. Who would like to ask this couple first? Anybody?"

Then, the girl from behind did, her name was Grace. She was one of Taylor's friends but their not so close. She was one of Taylor's friends that wants to set-up Taylor with a hot guy and now she wants set Taylor up with Lucas. So, she said

"Hey,Lucas,right?"

"Yeah..." Lucas answered.

"Tell, me what do you think of Taylor?"

"Woohhh...." The class echoed.

"I think Taylor's adorable, attractive, smart and nice."

"And...Taylor? What do you think of Lucas?"

"I think Lucas is strange, but very kind. Sweet and polite and to top it all of, he's very attractive too."

Lucas glanced at Taylor and Taylor was shyly laughing at Lucas.

Mr. Finch asked for another, and a boy named Fred asked,

"Hey, are the both of you together?"

"No..." Taylor answered.

"Not yet.." Lucas replied.

Now, Taylor glanced at Lucas and Lucas was also shyly laughing.

Students were yelling. They were all shouting and teasing the two. Taylor blushed. But, the class was getting noisy and the school bell rang on time and so the class was dismissed.

After 7 more subjects, dismissal time came. All were dismissed. Lucas and Taylor, as usual, sat together at the bus. Taylor was kind of acting pest at Lucas for saying what he said in Mr. Finch's class but the truth was, she was flattered and kinda feeling love for Lucas. Lucas noticed her so he asked,

"Look Taylor, what happened in Mr. Finch's class was just a joke okay?"

"Yeah..."

They were dropped at the bus station and Taylor quickly went to her house but Lucas held her hand.
