Here's Chappie 8, mostly Jake & Peyton, some Naley & Brucas. Read & review plz. Sorry for delay, been busy w/ start of school again. Rolling eyes, school sucks!


"Hey Peyton," Jake sauntered over to her, hands in his pockets, rocking back on his heels, he looked around at the empty library.

"Hi Jake," she was totally tongue tied around him, he was so gorgeous and he was talking to a geek like her. Looking down to hide her blushing cheeks, she stared at her shoes.

"What's going on?" he gestured to the empty tables.

"Lucas got in shit from Dyck, Brooke went to find him, Nathan and Haley are in the stacks and I'm here alone," she laughed derisively at the last part about herself.

"Well you're not alone, I'm here now," he smiled at her.

"Why are you even here? Do you have detention?" she asked.

"No, usually I come by to keep Lucas company, Dyck doesn't know though, so it can be our little secret," he slid a finger to his lips in the cliché silent pose, smiling at her.

"Oooo-kkkay," Peyton stuttered, cracking her knuckles to take her mind off the presence of Jake.

Brooke looked up at the ceiling and then over at Lucas, smiling, "Let's do it."

"So the princess has a sense of adventure," Lucas teased her.

"Well duh, I'd be pretty dull if I was a goody goody all the time, I'll leave that for Peyton," rolling her eyes, she grabbed a chair and started moving some boxes out of the way.

Nathan blew a bubble and stared at Haley, "Time's up, so what'd you want to do now?" Haley asked.

Pulling the bag of weed out of his sweater pocket, he smiled mischievously and looked at Haley.

Her eyes sparkled, "Sweet, sporto has a sense of adventure," laughing at him, she stood up and helped him up. "Let's go find somewhere to smoke this."

"So what are you doing in detention?" Jake asked.

"They found a gun in my locker," she admitted quietly.

"No shit Sawyer, you're lucky you didn't get expelled," his expressive brows arched high on his forehead.

"Why do you come here to keep Lucas company?" Peyton asked, her forehead creased in deep thought.

"Because he's a guy who got dealt a raw hand and he doesn't really have any friends, so I try to be one to him, he's been there for me in the past," sitting down next to her, he looked into her eyes.

"So why did you have a gun in your locker?" his eyes met hers and refused to look away.

"Because I felt like my life was worth nothing and no one would miss me," looking away from Jake, she laughed harshly. "It's true, no one would miss me, I'm not even a blip on the radar of existence."

"You're a blip on my radar of existence," Jake tilted her face back to him, leaning forward, he lightly brushed her lips with his. Shocks seemed to fly from his chest up his throat and explode like fireworks in his brain.

Peyton pressed forward and tasted Jake…sweet pine and sandalwood…his lips were moist and he teased her bottom lip between his teeth gently. Her shoulders shook in laughter. Pulling back, her eyes started watering.

"Normally I don't get this reaction, but do tell," Jake was perplexed.

"It's funny to me, because I never dreamt that my first kiss would be in the library while I'm in detention with you and that it would feel like that," Peyton explained.

"You don't like me?" Jake pulled back, feeling the flinch of rejection. He really liked Peyton, she maybe a geek in the eyes of teen hierarchy, but to him, she was awesome and different.

"I like you, this is just something beyond my wildest dreams, I never thought that a guy like you would kiss someone like me," she tried to explain again.

Jake smiled when she said she liked him and then frowned when she said guys like you and girls like me. "What'd you mean guys like me and girls like you?"

Putting a hand over his lips, she closed her eyes and blurted out, "You are a totally hot dreamy intelligent, witty guy, you make my day brighter when I see you, life has more meaning when you're around. I'm nothing and you're everything. You're the sun and I'm the moon. Two things that are different, one that is beautiful and loved by all and the other is invisible and hopeless."

Silence stood between them while Peyton scrunched her eyes shut and refused to open them. Pulling her hand back from his lips, she waited to hear the squeak of the door as Jake left, by now he knew what a freak she was and would probably tell the whole school and she'd be an even bigger outcast than before.

Nathan opened the door of the Modern Languages room on the second floor of the Library and shut it behind him and Haley.

Ripping a couple pages out of a book, Haley rolled the dope up and passed one to Nathan, "Got a light?" he asked.

"Sure, somewhere in my bag of magical tricks," she teased him.

"You're amazing you know," he said quietly, looking at her, his gaze reflective of his thoughts. Deep and poignant.

Haley felt her heart swell bigger at what she saw in his eyes, then her head shouted at her. You can't open your heart up, remember what happened last time. Enjoy his company and that is it. A mask shut down her happy emotions and she looked at Nathan, eyeing him coolly.

Flicking her lighter, she lit him up and he was puffing away happily a second later. Lighting hers up, she said goodbye to reality and hello to fantasy.

"Almost got it, careful before the chair collapses from your overblown ass," Lucas said to Brooke.

"I do not have a fat ass, you jerk and why do I have to go first?" Brooke whined.

"Just go, before Dyck gets in here," Lucas ordered her.

"Fine." Brooke climbed up into the ceiling, having removed the panel and put it on the floor. Crawling along, she stopped about ten feet later and saw Lucas putting the panel back in so Dyck hopefully wouldn't follow them.

"Move it Princess," he called up to her.

"Yeah yeah I'm going," she started wriggling down the tunnel.

Peyton waited and waited and when nothing happened, she opened her eyes and saw Jake sitting there, staring at her.

"Why are you staring at me? Why didn't you leave?" she asked, her tone nervous and wobbly.

"Because I think you're an amazing person, I don't know why you think you're nothing, you're everything to me. I watch you in classes, you're in your own world, you don't talk to anyone, I like that, you have your ambitions, your academic goals, plus I think you're gorgeous." Tentatively he touched a lock of her hair, twirling it between his fingers.

"Really?" her eyes were bright with unshed tears.

"Yeah really," smiling at her, he leaned in to kiss her. A loud crash in the stacks broke through their dreamy state.

"Nathan and Haley," Peyton groaned.
