It had been a successful first day of school and all the students were ready to head home. Fourth period had just ended and everyone was at his or her lockers. Lucas came out of class a little late and was making his way towards his locker. Peyton was already there waiting for him. Both of their lockers were on the same floor and they decided to walk home together. They had spent a lot of time together during the summer. Lucas was devastated with Brooke's leave as well as her response to his 'I love you" and Peyton was left heartbroken after Jake disappeared once again with Jenny. The two were left by themselves to sulk so they thought it'd be best to sulk with one another, it was less depressing that way.
"Hey."
"Hey, you're late buddy. You owe me a cheese danish."
Lucas cringed, remembering the bet they made earlier.
"Yeah yeah okay."
The two were out of the school now, crossing the street.
"So what a day huh?"
"Yeah, I mean it was pretty normal except for the whole Vegas drama thing."
"I know. She was so angry she blew up on Nathan."
Lucas looked at her with a puzzled look.
"She's in my art class. We talked."
Lucas nodded.
"Yeah she's the girl I told you I saw with Nathan at the River Court after I dropped you off."
Peyton was shocked, "Really, and she's Vegas's girlfriend or ex- girlfriend?"
"What a small world huh?"
"That's for sure."
Trailing off from the subject, "So you talked to Brooke lately?"
"To tell you the truth, the last time I talked to her was when she left for California. She hasn't called me since."
"Oh, what about Jake?"
"Nothing from him either. Umm can we change the subject? I don't really want to be all mopey on a beautiful day like this."
Luke nodded, "Let's go get you your danish."
"Sounds good," Peyton smiled linking arms with Lucas as they headed towards Karen's Cafe.
