Chapter Two

Lucas woke up in the morning, the sun was shinning down and it felt weird, not being in his house, not being in his bed. But, he knew he would get along with Jake, they had a connection from the start and he knew they would be great friends. He was just grateful that Dan and Karen had accepted him into their home, when he had no where else to go. He went to get washed up.

When he walked out of the bathroom, 5 minutes later, Jake was sitting on his bed.

Jake says,"Come on, mom and dad are waiting. It's time for breakfast." Lucas says,"Coming." They walk into the kitchen together, where Karen and Dan are waiting.

Karen smiles and says,"Hey baby, Lucas." Lucas says,"Hi Karen, Dan." They all eat then after Dan says,"Lucas, today, we're going to get you started at Chilton (taken from Gilmore Girls). The dean, wants to see you, then you have to take the enterance test, then you'll be all settled by the time school starts next week. We already have your records." Lucas says,"That sounds good." Karen says,"Then Dan is going to work, and we can go shopping for some new clothes, Jake needs school clothes too, then we'll drop off at the cafe and then come home." Lucas says,"You guys really don't have to do this, I'll be fine." Karen says,"Don't worry Lucas, besides you need a suit, there's always a function going on in Newport." Jake says,"Yeah and don't try to get out of them, Mom always makes dad and I go and if we have too, so do you." Karen says,"Jake! Besides it will give you a chance to know more people Lucas." Lucas says,"It's fine really."

Dan says,"Okay let's go. But first." Dan leans in to kiss his beautiful wife. Jake puts on a disguisted face. Jake says,"Dad, come on." Dan and Karen smile at each other. Karen says,"Okay, okay, let's go." They all head to Chilton, where they go to the Dean's office, where Dean Chan is waiting for them. Dean Chan says,"Jake, why don't you wait out here, while I talk to your parents and Lucas inside." Jake says,"Okay." Jake waits patiently outside as Lucas, Karen and Dan walk inside.

Dean Chan says,"So Lucas, I looked at your records and your grades are very impressive. My only concern was that you have been at 8 different schools since you started." Lucas says,"Yeah we moved around a lot when I was little." Dean Chan says,"You've been living in Chino since you were 8 correct?" Lucas says,"Yeah, my dad was sent to prison and my mom moved us to Chino." Dean Chan says,'And you're living with the Scotts because your mom kicked you out? May I ask why?" Lucas says,"My mom drinks, she was on a binge and she just said that. She kicked me out, said I was getting into trouble too much, she couldn't handle it. I'm just grateful that the Scotts decided to take me in." Dean Chan says,"Okay well everything seems in order, you can take your enterance test on Saturday at 9 AM. If you pass, as I suspect you will, then Welcome To Chilton." Dan and Karen get up and shake hands with Dean Chan, then they leave. Jake says,"Well?" Lucas says,"I take the test on Saturday, if I pass, then I am in." Jake says,"Yes!"

Dan says,"Okay I'm going to work, but I'll see you guys at dinner, have fun shopping." Jake sighs and says,"Yeah, let's go." They head to the mall and have gone through and done some shopping. Karen says,"Hold on, I need to get something for the cafe, really quickly. Wait here."

Jake and Lucas sit on a bench, when Peyton and Brooke walk by. Peyton says,"Hey Jake, Lucas." Jake says,"Hi Peyton, Brooke." Brooke ignores Jake, focused on Lucas, she lets out a flirty smile and says,"Hi I'm Brooke Davis, most popular girl at school and captain of the Chilton Angels Cheerleading Squad." Lucas says,"Hi I'm Lucas Cohen." Peyton grins and says,"He's Jake's cousin.' Brooke says,"That's nice. You know there's a party at Bevin's tonight, you should totally come. Everyone who's anyone will be there." Lucas says,"I don't know, I'm new to town and I think Dan and Karen want us to eat dinner with them." Brooke says,"Oh I'm sure it will be fine. Besides Scott can come too."

Jake says,"Thanks Brooke. I'm sure Mom and Dad won't mind." Lucas says,"Okay then I guess we'll see you then." Peyton says,"You can ride with us, we'll pick you up at 7." Lucas says,"Okay." Brooke and Peyton walk off together laughing. Lucas says,'Well that was interesting.' Jake says,"Yeah well, hey maybe you being here isn't so bad. We just got invited to one of the coolest parties of the year." Lucas says,"Yeah I guess, is that the Brooke Davis you're so into?" Jake says,"That would be her. Then again she doesn't know I'm alive."

Lucas says,"You just got invited to one of the coolest parties of the year by Brooke. I say she knows you're alive." Jake says,"No YOU got invited to the party, she only invited me because it would be rude for her not too when I'm standing right there." Lucas says,"You shouldn't be so down on yourself. She did notice you didn't she?" Jake says,"That's true."

Karen choses that moment to reappear, bags in hand. Karen says,"So what's going on?"

Jake says,"We got invited to Bevin's party tonight. And I never get invited to any parties, see having Lucas around is great." Karen smiles and says,"Yeah, just remember you have a curfew." Jake grins and says,'Yeah mom, and we'll have a cell phone to call you or dad if something goes wrong. This will be awesome."

They finish their shopping, Karen heads to the cafe and Jake and Lucas get ready for the party. They eat dinner when Dan and Karen come home and Peyton and Brooke knock on the door. Lucas opens it. Brooke says,"Hey georgous, let's go. Hi Scott." Lucas, Brooke, Peyton and Jake are about to leave. Karen says,'Don't forget, curfews at 1 and if you need anything call." Jake says,"Yeah mom we got it." Lucas, Brooke, Peyton and Jake leave.

Please read and review.

Sorry there's a little Brucas in it, it will be Brooke/Jake and Lucas/Peyton, I just had to add the Brucas in, because Brooke is suppose to be a flirt.
