Chapter Two. - First Lucas, then Jake and now Trey.

Peyton sat in her English class completely distracted, even her best friend Brooke was paying more attention then her and that was saying something. Peyton couldn't keep her mind off the guy she met this morning, Trey. She began sketching his face; there was something about him. She remembered the pain she saw in his eyes and tried to capture it in her drawing.

Brooke noticed that her friend wasn't paying attention. She wanted to know what freaky drawing she was drawing now. She new that would tell her what was wrong with her friend. Whenever something was bothering Peyton, you would know what it was by looking at her drawings.

Brooke leaned over and saw that Peyton was sketching the face of a gorgeous, dark and brooding guy. She was confused, if Peyton had met a new hot guy, why the face?

"Sawyer" whispered Brooke. "Sawyer".

Peyton stopped her drawing. "What?"

"Who's the hottie?"

Peyton just laughed and shook her head. She looked up at the clock and saw that it was almost 2:30pm. The day had gone quickly and quietly, Peyton spent most of the day alone in the library. Today was just one of those days that Peyton needed to spend some time alone.

The bell rang and Peyton grabbed her bag and her visual diary and began to walk out the classroom. She hopped to get out quick enough before Brooke caught up with her and she'd have to answer some questions.

"Peyton!" shouted Brooke. "Hey Peyton wait up."

Peyton continued walking so Brooke ran after her. There was no way Brooke was going to let Peyton get away without an explanation. They were best friends; Brooke was entitled, so she thought.

Brooke finally caught up with Peyton as she got to her car. "So P. Sawyer, why the dash? Got a secret date with the hottie?"

Peyton just laughed, sometimes Brooke knew her better then anyone else… and there were time when she didn't. But this time was one of those times when she did, and she new Brooke new also. She hated that.

"I'll see you tomorrow Brooke."

Peyton drove off leaving a very stunned and annoyed Brooke Davis.

"Well, he must be hot if she's blowing me off." Brooke said to herself.

Trey spent the day just walking around the town. Karen let him leave his bags at the café. The town was nice, it was friendlier the Chino, not so rough and not as crazy as New Port beach. Maybe he wont get into as much trouble here… he hoped.

As Trey walked back to the café, he bumped into a guy that he was sure he would have bumped into back in New Port. He looked like one of those water player guys, like he would say to Sandy Cohen, "he had one of those faces I could just smash".

Lucas was about to walk into his mum's café when he bumped into this guy.

"Hey sorry man, didn't see you there."

Lucas looked up and saw this guy just stare at him; it wasn't the friendliest look. 'OK' he thought to himself. Lucas opened the door to let the guy in.

Trey just walked in.

Peyton arrived at the café before Trey had so she just waited for him on one of the couches. She heard the door open and looked that way only to see Trey walk in, in front of Lucas. Trey didn't look happy and Lucas just looked confused. This should be interesting, Peyton thought to herself.

"Hey guys." Peyton said with a smile.

Lucas and Trey both turned to look at each other, both with the how-do-you-know-her look.

Peyton started with the introductions.

"Lucas, this is Trey. He just moved here from the OC, Trey, this is Lucas. His mum owns the café."

When Trey heard that Lucas was Karen's son, he automatically felt really bad. "Oh hey sorry man… about before." He pulled out his hand to shake Lucas's.

Lucas was still confused about the whole thing but shook Trey's hand.

"That's cool man."

"Your mum has a great place and she's real nice too."

"Thanks, yeah she is… So how do you two know each other?" Lucas asked looking at both Trey and Peyton.

Peyton jumped in first with a response.

"I met him this morning here, I told him to meet me back here so I could take him apartment hunting and maybe even job hunting. So I guess we better go, it's getting late. I'll see you later Luke."

"See ya" said Trey as he followed Peyton outside.

Lucas saw Deb clearing one the tables. "Hey Deb."

"Oh hi Lucas, how was school?"

"Umm ok. Do you know what time my mum comes back?"

"She should be back in about an hour, is there something I can help you with?"

"Umm nah I'm ok… I was just wondering if you knew who that guy was, the guy that I walked in with and then left with Peyton?"

"Who Trey?"

"Yeah, have you met him too?"

"Oh no, but before I took over for your mum she told me about him. She said that he was coming back here to meet Peyton and that he was leaving his bag here for now. She said he was really sweet."

Lucas turned around and watched Trey and Peyton walk down the street.

"So… what did you all day while I was away?" Peyton asked Trey teasingly.

"Just walked around… it's interesting to see how people will treat you, especially when you look like me."

"Do you want to drive, or do you want to walk for a bit." Peyton cut in.

"Oh, where's your car?"

"Right over there." Peyton points to her black convertible.

Trey raises one eyebrow, "Really… well I've been walking all day, lets drive for a while."

They both walk to the car, Peyton gets in the driver's seat and Trey gets in next to her.

"I love your car, now this is what I'm talking about. Ryan and I would have loved one of these."

"Ryan your brother?"

"Yeah…"

"So how have you found the people in Tree Hill so far?"

"Well surprisingly so far no one has wanted to call the police."

Peyton found this funny, "Why would they do that?"

"You'd be surprised. This is all I've had to put up with my while life."

Peyton suddenly felt saddened by this… he seems like a nice guy, Peyton thought to herself. Trey intrigued her, made her want to find out more about him. He seemed deep but misunderstood at the same time. Peyton seemed to always find herself attracted these kinds of guys… First Lucas, then Jake and now Trey. There was something about him.

Peyton didn't know where she was going to take Trey, it was almost five pm and everything was beginning to close. She felt bad for him; he had nowhere to go for the night. Peyton began to contemplate an idea in her head. Her father was gone for the night for some meeting out of town; they had a spare bedroom at home…
