The next day had gone differently than Brooke had planned. She had met up with Peyton before school and the two walked together, chatting about parties and boys.

"Yeah and there's this beach thing that you should come to this weekend." Peyton said excitedly. Brooke just smiled and was about to reply before she felt someone stop in front of her. Her eyes met Lucas' and her smile went away.

"Listen Brooke, I'm sorry for being such an ass yesterday." He apologized. Brooke just looked away disgusted and rolled her eyes.

"Go to hell." She told him before grabbing Peyton's arm and walking away from him. He was shocked again but brushed it off before shaking his head and heading the opposite way.

"One more point for B. Davis!" Peyton yelled, gathering attention from the other students.

"B. Davis?" Brooke asked curiously. Peyton shrugged before laughing. "Nickname."

Brooke laughed. "Okay, P. Sawyer!" Peyton just lifted her eyebrows and smiled at the nickname.

"Oh! I almost forgot to ask you about cheer. I saw your sticker on your binder from your old school. Did you want to join? I'm actually looking for someone to fill co-captain." Peyton asked her hopefully.

Brooke just rolled her eyes playfully. "I'd love too." Peyton squealed again before both girls headed into class. Throughout first period Lucas had been giving Brooke sideways glances and when she caught them she glared angrily at him.

Lunch was a different story entirely. Everyone had warmed up to her and she was enjoying her time here but Lucas seemed to ruin her day yet again. He had started, yet again, another argument about how Brooke should have gotten over it.

"You know, when you keep bringing it up, it's kind of hard to forget it." Brooke yelled at him.

Lucas looked away frustrated. "Forget it." Brooke smiled in victory before turning to her group of friends. Peyton could feel the tension from the moment she entered the cafeteria and when she walked up to Brooke, she could practically see the anger flowing off of her in waves.

"Hey there steamy." Peyton teased. Brooke just rolled her eyes and went back to eating her food and trying to enjoy the rest of her day.

After school, Brooke had cheer. After telling Peyton that she had been captain at her old school, she let Brooke join the team without an audition and Brooke thanked her for that. Even though she loved cheer, she was a little angered when she found out they had to practice with the basketball team.

The girls were already practicing when the boys came out from the locker room and Brooke just rolled her eyes when Lucas caught her eye. She noticed him walk up to her and stretch while she stretched.

"What is this? Asshole day?" Brooke said angrily to herself.

Lucas laughed. "Actually no, it's Tuesday." Brooke just groaned and averted her eyes away from him.

"You know when I met you I didn't think you would be such a dick." Brooke muttered to him before standing up and walking over to her team. Lucas just stared after her and went back to his as practice began. Throughout practice, Brooke could feel Lucas' eyes on her and she was beginning to get annoyed. She didn't like him at all and any chance of them being friends had gone out of the window within four hours of her first day. She was still pissed that they were fighting about his girlfriend and it didn't help that she was on the cheer squad constantly trying to injure her. When practice was let out, Brooke nearly jumped for joy and ran to get showered and changed.

"Am I still coming over today?" Peyton asked as Brooke walked out of the locker room. Brooke nodded with a smile and waited for her to changed and ready. Even though they had just met yesterday, Brooke felt like they were good friends. Last night they had talked on the phone for a while.

As Brooke waited for Peyton to come out, her eye caught Lucas coming out of the locker room. Their eyes met and she looked down, not wanting another confrontation. She looked back up and found him walking towards her. 'Why me?' She thought.

"Hey Brooke." Lucas greeted. Brooke looked him over and even though she thought he was cute as hell, she just rolled her eyes.

"What do you want? If your looking for a fight, your not gonna find it here." She grumbled and checked to see if Peyton was out, which with her luck, she wasn't.

"No, I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Lucas said sincerely. Brooke met his eyes again and just scoffed before looking away and nodding her head 'no'.

"I won't forgive you. You hardly know me and you just assumed that I did something. Way to treat a new student 'escort'." Brooke said angrily. 'Please let her come out now' Brooke prayed. When she looked over, she saw Peyton coming towards her and she thanked her lucky stars.

"Alright, so nice talking to you Lucas but I have to go." Brooke said sarcastically before grabbing Peyton's arm and walking to the parking lot.

"What was that all about?" Peyton asked her once they were in the car.

Brooke just sighed. "Lucas apologizing again." Peyton looked at her new friend and sympathized her. It wasn't even her second day and she had an enemy already. The ride home had been silent and that helped Brooke relax, if only for a while.

"Nice house. I live right down the street from here and so does Lucas and Nathan." Peyton told her when they pulled up to the huge house. Peyton knew about her parents and that she had the entire house to herself and she once again felt bad for her new friend.

"Oh?" Brooke inquired. She figured Lucas lived somewhere in this neighborhood because she had seen his car drive by a few times. She was glad that Peyton lived close by though.

"Yeah. Well I guess we should go inside. I don't know about you but I have a lot of homework." Peyton laughed and grabbed her books before heading inside. Brooke was already at the door and opening it. She rushed inside once it was opened and threw her books on the couch.

You want a drink?" Brooke asked from the kitchen. Peyton shouted a quick 'yes' before opening her textbook and starting her English. Brooke came back with the drinks and got started on hers as well.

Brooke slammed her book shut when she was halfway done. She glanced over at Peyton who had shut hers as well.

"So, B. Davis, what made you want to move out here?" Peyton asked.

Brooke's face contorted to sadness before she answered. "I didn't want to move out here. I didn't want to leave L.A. where all my friends were. My parents forced me to move out here after they had enough of my constant partying and drinking."

Peyton looked interested. "Why here though?"

"They know some people who live in Charlotte who are supposed to come check on me every once in a while. They read about Tree Hill High and they liked the school, so they bought me a house and sent me out here." Brooke said sadly. Peyton gave her a tight hug before pulling away and smiling.

"So do you like it here?" Peyton asked curiously. Brooke smiled and nodded.

"I think I do actually. Set the whole thing with Lucas aside, then yeah I think I do." Brooke laughed. "Even if I've only been here two days." Peyton just laughed along with her and got back to her homework.

They finished their homework a little while after and Peyton was packing her stuff up.

"So your sure you don't need a ride?" Brooke asked.

Peyton nodded. "Yeah, I just live a few minutes down the road." Brooke accepted it and said goodbye as she walked out the door.

Brooke cleaned up a bit before heading upstairs and collapsing on her bed. She was partially glad that she had moved here now. She had new friends and she was on cheer again; it was great. The whole Lucas thing would blow over and they would just ignore each other or at least Brooke hoped; that or she would just seriously injure his obnoxious girlfriend. She thought Lucas was hot, of course, but he was such an asshole that his attitude made her overlook his cuteness and just see him for the asshole he was, not the nice guy who she knew he used to be or so Peyton told her anyway. She decided she should fall asleep or she would be tired and wouldn't get anything done. Her eyes closed and she was lost in dreamland within minutes.

Brooke: Lucas Scott betrayal train, all aboard.
