CHAPTER 2 - The Wrath Of Lucas Scott
Lucas and the basketball team had been doing laps of the indoor court for just under 30minutes when Brooke entered. She was wearing pink sweat bottoms and a white vest top that highlighted her highly tanned torso perfectly. Lucas' eyes immediately locked onto her as she headed across the sidelines in the direction of the other cheerleaders, and when the coach called them all back to the benches Lucas couldn't resist the urge to stop and say something hurtful to her, something that might embarrass her in the way she'd embarrassed him a few days ago. Brooke sighed, loudly as Lucas began to slow his pace when he neared her. She wasn't in the mood for his arrogance "I thought you said you were captain of the football team?" she patronised him before he even had chance to speak. So many guys just like him had hit on her in the past and it wasn't like she didn't think he was hot, it's just that she couldn't be bothered to deal with the conceited behaviour of guys like him any longer.
The blonde looked at her coldly. It was nothing like the look of lust he'd had for her just days before "Yeah, well, there's more to me than what I told you about" he spat back at her with a vicious tone, his bright, blue eyes narrowing and piercing into her as he spoke
"What? You captain of the baseball team too?" she answered, in a sarcastic manner. She then slung her gym bag on the steps beside her, and proceeded to root through it in search of a hair band
Lucas watched Brooke, hating everything about her, the way she spoke, the way she moved, the way she was with him "You know, I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand that a person might have a bit of depth to them…" seeing the expression on Brooke's face, Lucas knew that he'd irritated her and he liked it. He then brushed past her and headed towards the other guys.
Wanting him to elaborate on the meaning of his words, Brooke zipped her bag back up "Someone like me?" she stopped him before he got too far away to hear her reply.
"A cheerleader" he clarified, before leaning closer to her in a fierce, and not at all flirty way "All you care about is how you look…and who you fuck" he pointed his finger close to her skin
"You don't even know me!" Brooke protested, taking great offence from Lucas' words. She couldn't believe what he'd just said to her, he'd known her three days and she knew that he definitely didn't have the right to act that way towards her, no matter how embarrassed he felt about getting knocked back
Lucas flashed her a fake smile "Lucky me!" he told her, his voice filled with seriousness. He shut the top down on his water bottle and walked past her, knowing that he'd found a way to push her buttons. Brooke's eyes followed him as he walked away to the opposite end of the court, her facial expression one of pure hatred.
She then picked
up her bag and made her way over to the other cheerleaders, something
she'd wished she'd decided against
"Oh my god! He's so
hot" where the only words that could be heared from the
cheerleaders, as they waved over at Lucas and giggled uncontrollably
whenever he would shoot them a glance.
"Hey Brooke…I saw you and Lucas talking over there, just so you know…I've got first dibs on the Scottie Hottie" Michelle, a cheerleader Brooke had become friends with, told her excitedly
Brooke scoffed out in amazement that anyone would want to sleep with Lucas "He's all yours…my tongue wouldn't touch him even if he were covered in honeycomb ice cream" she glared over at Lucas as she spoke
"What are you kidding?" Michelle blushed as she saw Lucas looking over at her. "He's hot!" she waved over at him
"No amount of hotness can compensate for his jackass personality" Brooke told Michelle with a serious tone that surprised her. The coach then ordered Lucas and the rest of the team to carry on running, Lucas looked at Brooke, coldly as he began lapping the court once more
"Woe, you really are at the top of his hate list" Michelle murmured in Brooke's ear, seeing the way Lucas was looking at her
"His ego just cant handle the fact that I'm not drooling at his feet…" Brooke raised her voice so that her words were in earshot of Lucas
"Oh right…" Michelle nodded her head "He hit on you and you knocked him back…" she remembered hearing the latest rumour at one of the many parties she'd attended that week. Brooke nodded along with Michelle's comment, quite proudly "Girl, what in hell were you thinking??" her words this time trampled over Brooke's ego. Given the chance ANY girl would jump at the chance to be with Lucas Scott, so what was it about Brooke that was different?

Haley had been curled up on the sofa, reading a book, in her dorm for the most part of the afternoon. Neither Brooke nor Haley had really made any effort to speak to each other since Brooke's arrival, they had felt no need to, they were different kinds of people, they hung out in different circles to one another and had nothing in common.
The silence in the dorm was suddenly broken when the door swung open, to reveal a very pissed looking Brooke. She slammed her handbag down on the kitchen counter, fiercely. She needed someone to vent her anger out on, her eyes scanned the dorm and she came across a light haired girl, she looked like she was reading a book and it must have been pretty interesting because she hadn't looked up since Brooke entered "What is wrong with the guys in this place?" Haley looked up and raised her eyebrow slightly as she watched Brooke get more and more frustrated by the second "I mean do they all have to be total jerks?" Haley wasn't sure if Brooke's questions were rhetorical or not, so she stayed silenced "Seriously, what's up with that?" Brooke waved her arms in the air and waited for an answer from Haley, when Haley didn't say anything, Brooke opened her eyes wide pushing for an explanation from her.
Haley closed her book and walked over to where the fuming Brunette was standing "There not all bad, Nathan's a decent guy" she reassured, hoping that this was the end of the conversation as she was beginning to feel uncomfortable already.
Brooke turned and opened the fridge, she grabbed a soda from out of the tray in the door "Yeah, well it's a damn shame the decent gene didn't get passed on to both Scott brothers" she slammed the door of the fridge shut, Haley then opened her mouth in realisation to why Brooke was so irritated
"Lucas…" she said under her breath, knowing that only he could get someone this riled up. But, it was still unusual to see a girl mad at him, normally it was some nerdy guy that had been pushed to breaking point by him and the jocks, or a teacher that just couldn't stand his smart-ass wit any longer
"Who the hell does he think he is?…" Brooke sat down at the counter opposite Haley and breathed in and out, trying to calm herself down. She never wanted to let herself get this mad, but he'd just known how to piss her off
"What's he done this time?" Haley asked, taking the hair band off of her wrist with her teeth and tying her hair up, loosely
"He's only gone and told the whole basketball team that I'm bad in bed…" Brooke whinged like a small child. Haley frowned at Brooke, wondering if what Lucas had said was true, was she bad in bed? I guess that would be some consolation for the girls of NCU that weren't popular cheerleading types "I haven't even slept with him" Brooke clarified the situation for Haley after seeing the doubtful expression on her face
Haley walked around the counter and grabbed herself a soda from the fridge "You know, I hate to be the one to tell you this but this is just the start…" Haley warned. She had known Lucas ever since she started dating Nathan five years back, and had seen what Lucas had done to people who dared to cross him "You humiliated him in front of the guys…standing up to him is like social suicide…" Haley walked across the room, and curled back up on the sofa
"But, why?" Brooke whined "Why does everyone in this place think he's some sort of god?"
Haley sighed, and looked deep in thought as she searched for a reason "…I guess that's just the way its always been…even when we were in high school" Haley explained "…That's just the way it is" Brooke let her head drop into her hands, not wanting to let herself be convinced that Lucas had won. Haley then picked her book back up and turned the pages to where her bookmark had been left
Brooke took her head out of her hands and looked over at Haley, they weren't friends, they'd never even spoken but she seemed like a friendly girl and maybe that was just what Brooke needed in her life, not some whiny cheerleader she was so use to hanging out with, just someone she could trust, someone she could confide in "Hey, what's your name?" Brooke took a light tone as she spoke. Haley had obviously introduced herself to Brooke before, but she had been more preoccupied with how good her hair looked and if her make up was right to really notice Haley as a person
She turned to face Brooke "Haley…" she answered, before turning back to her book
"Hey Haley, you hungry?" the brunette smiled, sweetly at her. Haley nodded her head in answer to Brooke's question "You wanna go halves on a pizza?" Haley thought about turning down her invitation because she knew that if she agreed to this, she'd have to spend most of the night with Brooke, and she knew how awkward that would be. After all they were like chalk and cheese, they'd have nothing to talk about, they'd have nothing to fill those uncomfortable silences with, but after breaking out of her daze she saw Brooke's dimpled and genuine smile in front of her and figured she should at least give her a chance
"Sure…" she answered, with a smile. Brooke then proceeded to dial the pizza place from her cell
