Author's Note: I don't know that much about College ball so I don't know the coach's names or the players names either. So I'm just going to make it up. Anyway thanks 4 the feedback hope you enjoy this chapter. It doesn't have too much Brucas or Naley here but the up coming chapters will. This is more of a transition chapter. Anyway thanks.
Chapter 4
"Brooke will you calm down", said Peyton rolling her eyes.
"Road Trip, I never really been on one, it's this what we are supposed to do?", asked Brooke.
"Yeah Cheery", said Lucas kissing her forehead.
Right now Nathan was driving while Haley rode shot gun.
"Man Lucas your girl needs some type of Valium to chill", said Nathan smirking which earned him a smack from Haley, a glare from Lucas but Brooke just smiled.
"Oh Tutor Husband it's you that needs that Valium seeing as how you aunt getting any, when was the last time Haley gave you a little something something", said Brooke.
Haley blushed, Peyton bust out laughing, Nathan glared and all Brooke heard Lucas say was her in name.
"Brooke", whined Lucas with a look of disgust on his face.
"I don't want to hear about my brother and Haley, ewww", said Lucas shuddering.
"Oh yeah, well Lucas Scott I heard you and Brooke going at it a couple of times, you are a screamer Lucas", said Haley.
"Ewwwwwwwwwww", said Nathan and Peyton shuddering.
"What? that means I'm good", said Brooke smiling. "Ohh Broody they are just jealous", said Brooke taking in Lucas's flushed face.
"Can we talk about something else", said Peyton.
"But I am good though, right Lucas?", asked Brooke pouting.
"The best Cheery", said Lucas smiling.
"Good", said Brooke staring into his eyes smiling.
She loved being with Lucas like this. She loved him so much and she was so thankful that she was given another chance. They were quiet for a while before Brooke let out a loud squeal.
"Brooke", said Peyton rolling her eyes.
"What I'm excited", said Brooke smiling.
Lucas just pulled her closer to him. Haley rolled her eyes.
"Oh there it is, what's the address?", asked Nathan.
Haley read them outloud and Nathan followed the direction. What they saw in front of the small house made them laugh. There was Corina, rollerblading down the stair case. Yeah Corina is crazy and beautiful. She was an African American girl with long straight black hair. She was about 5 feet 8 inches which was pretty tall for a girl. She was beautiful though, model beautiful. Corina looked up with a large smile on her face. She damn near ran down the stairs with rollerblades on which is a hard thing to do to get closer to the car. Lucas came out first. Corina came barreling towards him.
"Lucas", squealed Corina.
"hey girl", said Lucas smiling.
"Ahh my # 5 favorite person in the world", said Corina smiling
"#5 how did I get bumped to number five?", asked Lucas looking at her.
"Oh there was that guy in that Alpha party he did give me a nice ride if you know what I mean", said Corina smirking.
Lucas let out a groan of disgust.
"Well look at it, what's up hoe", said Corina rolling towards Haley.
Haley let out a laugh when Corina almost ran her over. Nathan had to catch her before she fell. Corina looked up to look at him.
"Well Haley James, I mean Scott excuse me, you didn't do too bad, Nathan Scott how the hell are you?", asked Corina hugging him.
"Fine Corina, do you even know how to rollerblade?", asked Nathan.
"No but what does that matter?", asked Corina.
Nathan shook his head.
"Wow you have grown, last time I saw you was when I was 14 years old and I beat you up for talking bad about Lucas", said Corina smirking trying to hold her balance.
"You did not beat me up", said Nathan rolling his eyes.
"Alright Lucas where is she?", asked Corina still trying to keep her balance.
"Here Corina you remember Brooke", said Lucas pointing to the girl beside him.
"You aint lying Lucas she did get more beautiful, now I have to hate you, dude she is hot", said Corina.
Lucas smirked.
"Aren't I though", said Brooke smiling already liking Corina.
"Ahh she is honest you just got bumped up to number # 234 on my list", said Corina.
"Who is before me on the list?", asked Brooke.
"Oh that would be the WNBA", said Corina.
Nathan just let out a laugh. Corina is as crazy as he remembered. She was always standing up to guys and beating them up. She did have a nice right hook though.
"Peyton Sawyer, I remember you", said Corina giving her a hug.
"Alright let's get you settled in. This is my house, aint it grand, well I have three bedrooms here, one of them is mine, plus a pull out coach. You guys decide where you want to sleep, but I don't suggest my room because I just had sex in there", said Corina.
"Corina", said Lucas whining.
"Lucas Scott such a prude, didn't you get him out of that yet", asked Corina looking at Brooke.
She was still trying to hold her balance.
"Baby come out here", yelled Corina trying to rolling towards the staircase.
This 6'5 black guy came out.
"Hey Corina what did I tell you about your crazy stunts you can fall and break something you don't know how to roller blade", said the guy.
"Ahh yes, everyone this is my boyfriend Mark, he plays for Duke actually, he is the guy I had sex with last night", said Corina.
Mark just shook his head.
"Hey everyone, Corina told me you were coming, let you help you inside but first let me get this crazy person inside first", said Mark reaching down and throwing Corina over his shoulders.
"Oh I love it when you get nasty", said Corina laughing.
Brooke smiled.
"I like her", said Brooke.
"You would", said Haley.
Haley followed Mark inside.
"Damn he is tall", said Peyton.
Lucas shook his head. They all walked into the house.
"Wow Corina you living the good life", said Haley.
Corina was now sitting on the living room coach.
"Ahh no man these are presents out of guilty, you remember my parents divorced, this is my dad's way of making it up to me", said Corina rolling her eyes.
"Take a seat guys, and I will tell you all the stuff I have planned for you", said Corina.
"Mark get them some drinks please", said Corina.
He nodded his head kissing her softly.
"Aint he hot", said Corina smiling.
"Anyway, I called Haley mainly because I did miss you and Luke, but mainly because I know it's your senior year and you have to do that college thing next year", said Corina.
Mark came in with the drinks. Everyone helped themselves.
"Any because you guys probably want to stay together for obvious reasons, I know you want a school that you can play ball in and be together right?", asked Corina.
"Yeah", said Lucas sipping his juice.
"Alright I know that Duke has like the best basketball team, at least that is what Mark tells me", said Corina smirking.
"Don't act like you don't know girl you cheer for us", said Mark rolling his eyes.
"Anyway I know the coach was supposed to take a trip down to see you guys I think in like in a couple of months, but I wanted him to see your game personally, maybe you got a better chance then since he knows you", said Corina.
"Ahh she acting like she didn't like beg coach, she hyped you guys up, saying that Duke needed your game, she was like your PR agent or something", said Mark smiling.
"Well they are good, man I used to watch when I was in tree hill, and Hales sends me the tapes, coach saw them and that's why he wants to speak to you guys", said Corina smiling.
"Wow thanks", said Lucas smiling at her.
"No problems, you guys have a meeting later with the coach, after practice, we got a game tonight", said Corina.
"You can talk to him then show them what you got, the Scott Brothers", said Corina smiling.
"oh and Brooke and Peyton I know you guys are cheerleaders, my coach wants to meet up with you also, there are scholarships here for that if you want. Hales I know you into music, they have scholarships here for that too, I talked to the head of the music department and showed them a tape of you at concert and she loved it and she wanted to speak to you about a scholarship since I told her that you were married and couldn't afford this tuition alone", said Corina.
"Wow you did all of that for us?", asked Brooke smiling.
"Well yeah, Haley and Lucas has been my friends for a long time, and since they love you three that means I will love you too", said Corina smiling.
"Alright after all that boring stuff we are going to a party, as in a Gamma party", said Corina smiling.
That really made Brooke squeal then.
"Can we get in?", asked Peyton.
"Oh yeah, Corina knows everyone on this campus, she is miss popular, she can get you into an fraternity and sorority party around here", said Mark smiling.
"Oh man I got to go, got practice", said Mark after looking at the clock that was hanging over the fireplace.
"You guys want to come you can check out the team", said Mark.
Nathan and Lucas looked at the girls.
"Don't worry about the girls, we are going shopping on daddy's money", said Corina.
She laughed when Brooke jumped up for joy. Lucas kissed Brooke softly and hugged Peyton and Haley. Nathan kissed Haley and waved to Brooke and Peyton and followed Mark out.
"girls, shopping time", said Corina pulling out her credit card.
"Now this is a woman after my heart", said Brooke.
"You guys want to come here?", asked Mark while he drove them.
"Yeah I mean Duke is like this awesome school you know", said Nathan smiling.
He was happy to be here, and this was all having without his father. He was happy about that.
"Well that's good, I know that most of the seniors on the team will be leaving but we still have a strong team. Corina was right you guys are good, I saw the tape as well and coach saw a lot of potential there", said Mark turning into the gym parking lot.
Lucas and Nathan were looking around. He lead them to the gym and they were in awe.
"Different from a high school gym huh?", asked Mark smirking.
"Oh yeah", said Nathan smiling.
He was loving this. He looked up to see the whole team playing.
"Oh yeah", said Lucas smiling.
Mark walked them over.
"Hey coach", said Mark.
"Mr. Harding there better be a good reason why you are late", said Coach Hamilton.
"Ahh yeah there is, I was having sex with Corina", said Mark with a straight face.
Nathan and Lucas both gaped at him.
"Ahh at least there was a good reason" said Coach Hamilton smirking.
"Nah I'm late because I was talking to these guys, you remember Corina told you about the Scott Brothers", said Mark.
"This is Lucas, and Nathan from Tree Hill", said Mark pointing to the brothers.
"Ahh the Scotts, Corina told me about you, I was impressed by the tape but there are a few things to work on, plus some more weight training because you have to bulk up to play for my team", said Coach smirking.
"Alright Mark get them suit up, they can join the practice", said Coach.
"Alright guys follow me", said Mark.
"Ahh Coach", called out Lucas.
He ran a little up to him.
"I got to tell you something", said Lucas.
"What is it Scott?", asked the coach.
Lucas began telling him about his HCM. Coach nodded his head.
"It's alright in fact I have two players that have it, as long as they take their meds they are fine to play", said the coach.
Lucas smiled.
"Thanks coach", said Lucas.
"Lucas Nathan, I talked to your high school coach me and Whitey go way back. He told me about you also, don't think you don't belong here, Corina and Whitey sang your praises, so make them proud", said the coach.
Lucas and Nathan both nodded their heads following Mark to the locker room.
"Here I have extra gear you can borrow", said Mark handing them shorts and a t-shirt.
They walked out to see everyone looking at them. Lucas got nervous at the staring but Nathan shrugged it off.
"Ahh you the boys Corina been praising, saw the tape great job", said one of the team mates.
"We won't take it easy on you though you have to earn your spot", said another team mate.
"We got it", said Nathan nodding his head.
"Let's start", said Mark.
"They are on my team", said Mark.
Everyone nodded their heads. Nathan and Lucas got ready and played the game of their lives.
"We won", said Mark smiling.
"Wow we are impressed, you have to work on you technique a little bit but you guys were good" said the guy they called Smith.
Lucas was panting trying to get air into his lungs.
"You alright man?", asked Nathan.
Lucas nodded his head.
"HCM?", asked Peter another team mate.
Nathan nodded his head.
"I got it too, it's a bitch but I'll teach you some stuff and you have to weight train more, it actually helps and so does running in the mornings", said Peter.
Lucas looked at him before nodding his head.
"Ahh guys who was the hot cheerleader on the tape, with the dark brown hair?", asked Smith smirking.
The rest of the guys gave a hollar and whistles. Lucas smiled.
"My girlfriend", said Lucas.
All the guys gave him wolf calls and patted him on the back.
"Well he is not the only one with a hot girlfriend, Mark tells us Haley James is you wife? Dude you married the hot chick with the guitar?", asked Smith.
Nathan nodded his head. They all gave out another round of wolf calls.
"Are they here?", asked Peter smiling.
"Yeah they are with Corina shopping" said Mark smirking.
"Dude I never remember having hot chicks like that in my high school we have to go out to Tree Hill too man", said Smith.
The guys were all nodding their heads in agreement.
"We have hot chicks here though, Mark the bastard has one of the hottest chicks in school", said Mike another player.
Mark rolled his eyes.
"Yeah and you won't come near her", said Mark mock glaring him.
"Alright you three coming to the Gamma party?", asked Smith.
"That's what Corina told us", said Nathan that was changing out of his clothing.
They were all in the locker room.
"It's after the game though, I think Corina scored you guys front row seats at the game", said Peter.
"Corina seems popular", said Nathan.
"Yeah, she is a sweetheart, she is always there for any one when they need it, Coach loves her because she was there for his wife when she was dying", answered Peter.
"It's hard for coach to be impressed trust me, but he is, so it's a big chance that you will be playing for us next year", said Smith.
Lucas and Nathan smiled. Playing for Duke that would be a dream come true. Both brothers gave each other pound.
Meanwhile in Tree Hill
Dan once again was sitting in his home sipping on his brandy. He had another fight with Karen this morning. He always fought with her. Dan looked a head. Karen was the one that got away. He loved her he hated to admit that now but he always did. He still did, she was different from the girl that he left behind, she was stronger. But he knew he would destroy her. He destroyed everyone he loved including his boys. He hated himself for it but he seemed like he couldn't help himself. He wished there was a way to stop hurting his boys. Dan Scott once more let himself be overcome with regret before pushing the feeling down and open his ice cold eyes to the world once more.
"Finish shopping?", asked Lucas that was now sitting on the bed.
Brooke nodded her head before she joined him.
"Hard practice?", asked Brooke looking worried.
Lucas nodded his head before pulling her into his lap. He sniffed her hair and gently kissed her forehead.
"I can play with HCM Brooke there are other people on the team with it, in fact he is going to teach me how to deal with it", said Lucas.
Brooke nodded her head.
"I won't leave you Cheery, you are my life, I want to marry you and have babies with you, I want to be with you always", said Lucas kissing her softly.
Brooke nodded her head.
"Good, I want that too", said Brooke.
Lucas lay on the bed with Brooke on top of him. He ran his fingers through her hair.
"We are meant to be Brooke, forever", said Lucas.
Brooke nodded head and closed her eyes.
"I love you Broody", whispered Brooke.
"I love you too Cheery", said Lucas smiling.
And that was all that mattered.
