Chapter 1: Beauty and the Shrew

"Lucas, meet the shrew" said Nathan

"What?" asked Lucas confused before someone screamed at him

"Watch where you stand, moron!" the blonde curly girl yelled at him. She was wearing a pair of denim jeans and a black Ramones shirt. Her hair looked all messy and she had a fierce look in her eyes.

"Seriously, you Abercrombie wanna be… don't stand in the middle of the hallway, jerk" she continued before turning back and keep on walking to her locker.

"Who is that?" asked Lucas

"Lucas… that is the object of your infatuation's sister… Peyton "the shrew" Sawyer. As you can see, the name fits" added Nathan contemplating Peyton.

Lucas' eyes went from the fiery blonde to the strawberry chocolate brunette that was smiling while talking with another girl. She looked so calm, so pretty, so innocent while playing with her hair.

"No way…" he said

"Oh, way…" replied Nathan "You'd see, Haley is the sweetest, most popular girl at School, while her…" he pointed at Peyton that was kicking her locker "it's, well, the biggest bitch on earth"

"How come?" asked Lucas but Nathan was not able to respond before another scream interrupted them

"Brooooooooke!" yelled Peyton

"Coming…" came a slow voice from behind them and Lucas noticed a small redish brunette walking the hall and carrying some books. She was wearing some black pants, a big blue shirt, and some carey glasses…

"I'm coming Peyton" Brooke repeated, at the same time that she tried to avoid some students only to hit Nathan with the books before dropping them.

"Gosh, Nathan, I'm so sorry" she said very mortified and when she tried to touch Nathan to see if he was ok, she accidentally pocked him in the eye "Oh Lord, Nathan!" she exclaimed

"It's OK, Brooke, I'm fine, no worries" replied Nathan, a little teary "Here, let me help you with the books" he said as they both went down to get the books

"Such a musketeer thing of you" said Brooke

"He, thanks Brooke… no need to mention" said Nathan giving her the books "Want me to help you with those?"

"No, it's Ok, I've got them" said Brooke before accidentally hitting Lucas with one "Oh god, I'm sorry again" she said

"No worries… Hi, Lucas Roe" said Lucas

"Brooke Davis" she replied and she tried to shake his hand, only to drop all the books again, that Nathan picked up for her.

"Thanks, Nate" Brooke smiled shyly… "I better go see what Peyton needs… and good luck with the game tomorrow. You're such an honorable player… like a musketeer" she sighed before leaving

Nathan and Lucas watched as she walked to where Peyton was waiting for her, tripping two times in the way.

"OK… that is?"

"Brooke Davis… and she is Peyton's best and only friend, actually" replied Nathan.

"Well, she is…. interesting" said Lucas before he noticed Haley passing next to him while talking to her friend

"You'd see, Bevin" Haley's musical and sweet voice said "It's not just a matter of clothing, it's a matter of accesoring…"

"Music to my ears, such an angel's voice" recited Lucas while Nathan gave him a surprised look

"My man, she is seriously out of your league, Lucas. You cannot have her. So just archive her in the "hot chicks list" and move on"

"But why? Why? Why?" asked Lucas

"Cause the Sawyers' sisters are not dating… not now, not until they graduate. Dad is a very complicated man" explained Nathan

"I'm fortune's fool" replied Lucas heartbroken

They heard another noise and they witnessed how Brooke had dropped her books again while Peyton sighed

"What is the deal with her? Is she spastic or something?" asked Lucas

"Whether you believe it or not, my friend… you're looking at the one that once was the hottest girl at School…" said Nathan

Lucas gave him a surprised look…

"Yeah" said Nathan "Only one girl could compete with Brooke's beauty and popularity"

"Haley…" stated Lucas

Nathan shook his head in deny "Peyton Sawyer…"
