Ok, folks, this is Chapta' two! I promised the OTH peoples, and here they are! Oh, and by the way, this story takes place right after season 1!

.two.

Lucas Scott, his best friend Haley James Scott, and her husband Nathan Scott (confusing, isn't it?) trampled into Tree Hill High's gym for the fall pep assembly. The three sat near the top of the bleachers, and were soon joined by Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer. Brooke had a coat of anger painted over her pretty face, which cause Haley to worry.

"Hey, Brooke? Why do you look pissed?" Haley questioned.

"Because Principal Turner won't let the cheerleaders perform because the stupid uniforms aren't in yet. I suggested that we use last year's but nooooo! Ugh!" She bellowed and sat down in a huff next to Peyton. Lucas and Nathan eyed each other, but focused their attention back to the elderly gentleman wearing a "Raven's" polo shirt, who was walking to the wooden podium at the front of the gym. The guys new that their basketball coach, Coach Durham, or 'Whitey', was going to give information about this year's season.

Lucas sat at the end of the bleacher, Haley to his right, Nathan next to her, and Peyton and Brooke sat below them. Brooke was still upset at Lucas for all he had done to her over the past months, but she had learned to forgive Peyton. If she hadn't, truth be told, she wouldn't have any friends. Lucas thought it was a bit unfair that she could forgive Peyton and not himself, but he knew that Brooke would come around sometime or another.

After everyone was seated in the bleachers, the Principal and Whitey made announcements concerning the fall sports season, new extracurricular activities, and so on. Towards the end of the assembly, during the band's rendition of their school's fight song, the glass doors to the gym squeaked opened and slammed. The sound of heels on the wooden floor could be heard echoing all around. Lucas was the first to glance down and see two girls, both brunettes, walking to the podium to talk to the principal. One seemed to be older, his age, perhaps. The other looked to be a few years younger. They spoke to the principal for a few moments and headed to the bleachers. Brooke glanced down and saw them, and motioned for the girls to sit by their area.

The two girls shuffled up the stairs and sat next to Brooke. The older one whispered her name as Candi Webster. She slipped off her Coach bag and gave Brooke a smile. The other was turned around talking to Haley and Nathan. Lucas overheard her name as Liz Webster. The girls were obviously sisters. Liz shrugged off her L.A.M.B bag and started talking and giggling with Haley. Nathan and Lucas exchanged a glance once more. The two sisters looked alike, but even from their choices of bags, they could tell that they were very, very different.

The assembly concluded and the girls whipped out their schedules. Lucas' suspicions were right. Candi was a junior, like he and his friends, and Liz was a sophomore. Haley and Liz had their next class in the same building, so the two girls walked together. Brooke, Peyton and Candi were headed to the girl's locker rooms for gym, and Nathan and Lucas both had their English class.

As the group separated, Lucas looked back at Candi. She looked at him at the same time, and she gave him a smile that he'd only seen one other person give him. A smile so sexy that it could only belong to one person.

Brooke Davis.

But that smile didn't belong to her. The smile belonged to her biggest competition yet.

Candi fumbled with her PE locker. "Stupid thing!" She mumbled to herself spinning the lock again.

Peyton laughed a little. "Need some help?" She offered.

Candi nodded. "Thanks, the code is 21, 20, 21." In moments Peyton had it opened.

"Thanks." Candi gratified.

"No prob."

"Ugh!" Brooke came in moaning.

"There is blood all over the bathroom."

"Is it someone's first time to use a tampon?" Candi asked taking off her shirt switching into a saggy blue one.

Brooke laughed. "Probably."

Brooke smiled weakly then asked "So what made you move here?"

"Stupid father." Candi immediately answered.

"I hate parents." Brooke groaned.

"Yeah he isn't even my real dad, he is the third step, and check this; he is ten years older then us, and he's tried hitting on me." Peyton and Brooke shot each other disgusted looks then looked to Candi to confirm their disgust.

"I know."

"What does your mom think?" Peyton asked shoving her flip-flops in her locker.

"That he is rich and deserves what he wants; besides she doesn't know."

"I'm sorry." Brooke and Peyton apologized in unison. Candi shrugged off the own sadness in her eyes.

"Let's go get physical!" She perkily said. They smiled with sarcasm.

"Gym, life's favorite thing to torture people with." Brooke said slumping toward the door.

"You and your sister seem close." Haley said strolling down the hall to their next class.

Liz shook her head. "Never. We were forced by Mommy dearest to come together in the same car today, lets hope Candi has a ride home with someone."

Hailey smiled uncomfortably. "Well I'm sorry, I'm not close with a lot of my siblings, but a lot of them I am."

"How many do you have?"

"Let's just say a lot."

Liz smiled. "It must be nice to have a family to love."

Haley smiled. "You can be apart of my family any time, right now it's just Nathan and me." Haley said uncovering a picture of her and Nathan on their wedding day.

Liz gave a confused looked to Haley. "I thought you and Nathan were dating."

Hailey laughed. "We just got married."

"Congrats." Haley smiled stopping at Liz's classroom door. "This is AP economics. You must be pretty smart to be taking this."

Liz shrugged. "How else am I going to get to college…besides sleeping with the dean…?" Liz laughed to herself. Hailey laughed to play along.

"Yeah." Liz pushed open the door smiling back at Haley. "Thanks."

Lucas fiddled with a pencil as Nathan; sitting adjacent to Lucas, pretended to take notes while their teacher babbled on about History.

"So what do you think of those new girls?" Lucas questioned quietly to Nathan.

"Are you talking about Candi and Liz?"

Tim asked jerking his head from his seat in front of Lucas. "They are hot! The Candi girl…I think I jiz-"

"Tim shut up!" Nathan sharply said. Tim turned around before Nathan answered.

"They're pretty good looking but I'm married, and sophomore isn't my style."

"I am talking about Candi, she's a junior." Nathan raised an eyebrow. "I thought she was a senior."

Lucas shook his head. "She is a junior I checked her schedule." Nathan nodded.

"Like I said they are both good looking but I am married. Why? You into Candi."

He shook his head leaning back into his chair. "She is hot but she just reminds me of someone…I just can't put my finger on it." Nathan nodded.

"You'll figure it out, like you always do." Lucas nodded. "In time."

Jogging into the locker room Candi collapsed onto the lockers. "That teacher is fucking bitchy!" Peyton nodded swigging a gulp of water. Brooke fanned herself with her shirt.

"Damn, that was worse then cheerleading practice." Peyton groaned.

Brooke snapped to her. "Shut up. I make my squad work hard." Brooke growled.

"So hard that Teresa quit!" She shot back.

Brooke folded her arms. "She wasn't that good anyhow, but it sucks because now we have to hold cheerleading tryouts for the third time this year." Peyton rolled her eyes to Candi.

"Brooke is power driven."

Candi laughed a little. "If you need someone else on your squad I use to cheer at my old school." Candi suggested.

Brooke smiled. "Really?"

Candi nodded, "It was my freshman year but I am sure if you teach me some new stuff I'll be ready in no time. I'm a quick learner."

Brooke smiled widely to Peyton. "This could work. You need to come with me after school."

"I guess I could arrange that."

Brooke threw her arms around Candi. "You just saved me from embarrassing a lot of girls by telling them how much they suck at cheerleading."

"Uh sure…" Brooke let her loose. "What do you have next period?" Candi searched for her schedule in her bag. She pulled it out scanning,

"Oh, Lunch." The girls smiled. "We have that too."

Getting adjusted at a lunch table Candi set down her bag fixing her skirt. Brooke and Peyton sat next to her chatting about Nathan and Haley's marriage. Liz passed by Candi with a roll of the eyes her arms linked with Haley's.

"So who is Nathan?" Candi asked picking at her orange peel.

Brooke smiled. "The hottie that just got married to her." Brooke pointed to the girl who sat next to her sister.

"Was he the blonde she was sitting next to?" Peyton shook her head.

"That is Lucas."

"Did someone say my name?" The girls jerked around to a tall blonde with a buzz cut, beautiful blue eyes and a body every guy wanted to have.

"Hey Lucas this is Candi." Peyton said.

"Lucas." He simply said holding out his hand. She accepted gently grabbing it. "Candi, as you know."

"Candi!" Liz called walking over to the table Candi was sitting at. Liz reached the table and then turned to Lucas. "Hey, I'm Liz. I'm single too." She said batting her eyes.

"Stop being a whore Liz." Candi said harshly. Liz shot a glare at her.
