"Oh you don't know Brooke, Lucas. Really, tutoring this girl might not be a good idea and besides, your grades aren't doing that well anyways."

"Yeah but I promised I'd help." Lucas smiled at Haley as she curled her lips. They walked through Nathan's beach house as the music roared over the place. It was definitely a party that he knew how to throw and Haley dragged Lucas across the room.

"Well, okay, but, I'm warning you. You should know something about her. Brooke Davis, well she's a..." As Haley was about to finish, Brooke stumbled on her and laughed.

"Tutor Girl! Hey," she shouted in a loud pitched voice as she slurred her voice. "So are you gonna tutor me or what? I mean, my grades need to get up or my parents are gonna ground me although like, that's gonna happen. And then they went on about how I'm not gonna get a new car but please, they don't talk to me anyways right? Right. And so I..." And she passed out on the couch.

"Party Animal. Yeah, Brooke Davis is wild."

Lucas laughed at the brunette sprawled out on the sofa. "Do you want me to bring her home? You know what, I will bring her home. Second thoughts, I'll leave the tutoring to you. I think that I'll just stick with being her escort." Haley screamed loudly as Brooke puked all over her jeans and Lucas started laughing again as he put his arm around Brooke's shoulder and helped her out.

He gently put her in the front seat of his car and looked at her face for a second. It had seemed so perfect that he didn't even wanna handle with it.

As he heard the last tune play on the stereo, Brooke started stirring from her sleep, the blue and white glittery "R" was still painted on her face.

"You're Lucas," she laughed and closed her eyes again. "Aren't you meant to be at practise? It's 4.00 in the afternoon."

Lucas gave her a weird look.

"I'm sure it is. So, are you gonna tell me where you live? Or do you want me to work that out for myself then?

Brooke pointed her hand to the left direction as Lucas pulled up to a large mansion. His mouth was wide open; this was some house she had there. He got out of the car and helped Brooke out as she stumbled up her driveway, Lucas' arm still around her shoulder.

"Thank you." And collapsed on the pavement. Lucas stared in awe as she snapped out of it helping Brooke up.

"Is there like, a key in your bag or something?"

Brooke snatched her bag from Lucas and grabbed a key out of it, she got up and brushed her knees getting more sober.

"Okay," he said slowly. "I'll be going then. And good luck with the whole tutoring thing." Lucas gave her another look of concern, or lack of and started to walk away as Brooke spoke.

"Do you wanna come in?" Lucas turned around and tilted his head. He "un tilted" it as he saw her walking up to him, the wind blowing through her hair as she did so.

"Did I mention we had a hot tub?" Lucas gave her a half smile and looked away.

"Did I mention that there was a naked me in the hot tub?" Lucas smiled and laughed.

"Uuuhhh, no, but I did hear something about how drunk you get at this time of night which means I'll be going." Before Lucas started walking away he took one last look at her, in that that 3 seconds that he did, she kissed him gingerly on the cheek, just for 2 slow seconds. And he walked away.
