Peyton was still angry over what had happened with Nathan. Slamming her locker a voice chimed behind her.
'Someone is in a bad mood, today'
Peyton turned around and saw her best friend Brooke Davis.
'Let me guess, Nathan Scott,' quizzed Brooke.
'Yeah, I don't why I put up with him because all he cares about is himself. I don't think it is even possible for him to actually care about another person,' rambled Peyton.
'Well, I think any person with the surname Scott are incapable to actually care about someone other then themselves,' Brooke said.
'Well that's not exactly true is it now' a voice chimed.
Both Brooke and Peyton turned around to face no other then Lucas Scott.
'Well, I don't really know you but maybe if we got together then maybe I could test my theory,' flirted Brooke.
'Maybe,' Lucas said shyly.
'I have to go or I could get a detention from that hagged woman. I don't need that since it's my year to be captain of the cheerleading squad. So, I will see you later Pey,' she turned to Lucas, 'maybe you too!' with that she walked away.
Lucas who turned a shade of red looked at Peyton. From a far Lucas noticed Peyton for a while now but never spoken to her properly because of his evil step brother Nathan, same father different mum. That's when she spoke.
'Sorry about Brooke, she tends to get carried away but her heart is in the right place.'
'No, that's o.k. I just don't people think that I am the same as Nathan, no offence,' Lucas said sharply.
'No it's o.k. that is a good thing I wish Nathan wasn't the way he is sometimes,' Peyton said reassuring.
'Why are you with him then?' Lucas blurted out.
Peyton was a little taken back with the question but then realised that he was right. Why was she with him? It is not like he cared about her anyway. Also, she kind of grew tired of his childish behaviour. Over the summer, her and Nathan had grown apart. He was either partying with Tim or hanging out with Amy. The only time that they saw each other all they did was have sex. Then she saw Lucas standing there watching in anticipation for her answer. This is what she yearned from Nathan for so long now. Someone who actually cared about what she said not just some booty call. Peyton quickly woke from her thoughts.
'I don't know why' she said simply.
Lucas was about to say something when a voice boomed down the corridor.
'What the hell are you doing, reject?'
Both Peyton and Lucas looked down the corridor and saw a very angry Nathan coming towards them.
