CHAPTER 4

Brooke woke up to the sound of her alarm clock ringing. It was six o'clock on a Monday morning. She turned to lie on her back. Today was her first day at Tree Hill High School. Haley had called her yesterday evening, wanting to know if she had enjoyed the dinner. After they had talked for a while Haley offered to drive her to school but she declined. She wanted to drive herself so she could get to know the streets. Haley said that she would meet her in the schools parking lot the following morning.

I suppose I should get up

Brooke thought. I really don't want to be late on my first day of high school at a new school. Brooke walked into her walk-in closet. She didn't know what to wear. In Beverly Hills the clothing was flashy and made by a well-known designer. But she didn't think Tree Hill cared much about fashion. She looked through her closet and found the perfect outfit. She put it on and looked at herself in the full-length mirror. The summer dress was a beautiful shade of baby blue and had a dark blue ribbon just beneath the bust line. Funny, it reminded her of Lucas' eyes. The dress looked beautiful on her. She put on a pair of dark blue flats. She then tightened her hair into a lose pony.

When she got downstairs she went straight into the kitchen. She then walked to the dinning room. Her father was sitting at the dining room table. He had eaten and was drinking his second cup of coffee. "Bye dad." Brooke said as she kissed him goodbye. "Aren't you going to eat something?" Shane asked. "Yeah, I asked Mary to make me something to take with, don't want to be late." Her dad gave a nod in her direction. "Good, breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Brooke picked up her bag and put it on the passenger seat next to her as she climbed into the Beatle Convertible.

LUCAS' POV:

"Hales, what do you think of this shirt?" Lucas asked his best friend for the twentieth time that morning. Haley looked over at Lucas from were she was sitting on his bed. "It looks great Lucas. Just like the one before that and the one before that and the one before that. " He turns back to the mirror, looks at his reflection for a while then takes off the shirt again.

"Luke, just pick a damn shirt already! I've been here since 4am this morning" Haley says as she looks at her watch, "and you still haven't chosen a shirt to wear to school. What's up? You never ask me for advice on what to wear." Haley thinks a while, "Are you trying to impress someone?" Haley asks eyeing him.

Lucas was in fact trying to wear a good shirt to impress Brooke, he'd been thinking about her all weekend and nothing could get her out of his mind. He quickly pulls another T-shirt over his head, trying to hide the blush creeping onto his face. "Uh… No." Too late though because Haley saw it and she could tell by his tone of voice that he was hiding something. She knew him too well.

"O, Lucas Eugene Scott, you cant fool me. You are trying to impress someone!" Haley shouts as she jumps up from the bed. "But who?" She gets a quizzical look on her face. She starts pacing up and down, and then stops. "Rachel?" Lucas gives her an odd look. "Bevin?" "Hales, No! She's dating Skilz" Mmm… maybe our new friend Brooke…?

Lucas looks at his reflection again and mumbles something Haley couldn't quite hear. "Hales, we can go now. I'm done." "So you have a crush on her, don't you?" Lucas looks at his friend. Sometimes she was really strange. "Haley, guys don't have crushes on girls." Haley raises one eyebrow. "Okay, so they have the hot's for girls.?"

"No. Guys LIKE girls. Seriously, where do you get your information on guys? I think it's a little outdated." Lucas says with a grin as they get into his car. "Hahaha! Funny" As she playfully slaps him on the arm.

BROOKE'S POV:

After taking a few wrong turns Brooke finally arrived at her new high school. "Tree Hill High School. Home of the Ravens." She reads out loud. After driving around the parking lot for almost ten minutes she finally spotted a parking space.

Brooke stays in her car a while longer, looking at her surroundings. "Please don't let them stare at the new girl." Brooke silently prays as she gets out of her car. Normally she's calm, but these surroundings have a strange effect on her. The prayer she sent went unanswered, because as soon as she got out of her car, the people around her started to stare and whisper. She slowly makes her way to the curb, looking at her bag as she puts away her car keys. Not quite looking where she was going, she walked into a hardback. " Oops, sorry." She quickly says as the person turns around.

Lucas… she can see the quiet admiration in his eyes. Thank goodness a friendly face, and one she knew. Brooke thought. Brooke looks up into Lucas' eyes not noticing the person behind Lucas. A lazy smile spreads across his handsome face. "It's okay Brooke, bump into me any time." Brooke quirks up an eyebrow and smiles. " Okay, I'll do that." Was she actually flirting with him!? She was not ready yet or was she? Brooke was more confused than ever now. She hears a throat clear, that breaks the spell that had settled on them. She looks past Lucas and sees a girl with curly blond hair. Did Lucas have a girlfriend? Was this her? As if he had read her mind he turns towards the girl. "Brooke, this is my friend Peyton Sawyer. Peyton, this is Brooke Davis. She just moved to Tree Hill."

"Hi" Brooke says while she extends her hand for Peyton to shake. "Hello" came the somewhat cool reply as she shakes Brooke's hand. If Brooke wasn't mistaken she saw fire in Peyton's eyes. She looks up at Lucas and then back at Peyton. All she sees now is friendliness. She must have imagined the warning in Peyton's eyes. It must have been the sun or her mind playing tricks on her.

PEYTONS POV:

Peyton had seen Lucas walking from the parking lot and walked up to him. Better get part two of my plan, in getting Lucas, in action. "Lucas! Hi! How about you come over later and I make you a dinner to thank you for helping me out in my room?" Lucas smiles down at her. "Peyt, you really don't need to go through all that trouble to thank me. It was a pleasure." Peyton's quiet a while as she looks up at him. "But I want to. Please Lucas." She said. She had to get him there so that he'd realize he loves her more than just friends.

"Okay, I'll be th…" Lucas stops in the middle of his sentence when somebody bumps into him. He quickly turns around when that person says sorry. Peyton can't help looking over his shoulder. A girl stood before him. A beautiful one. Peyton had never seen her before. It looked like Lucas knew her. She stands behind Lucas waiting for an introduction but nothing… She can't believe it. Lucas is flirting with this girl and he's oblivious to her standing here, behind him. She clears her throat, she can't watch them flirt any more.

It seemed to work because Lucas quickly turns and introduces them. Brooke, that's her name. While they shake hands Peyton saw the girl get a weird look in her eyes. She realizes that she was not keeping her jealousy guarded. When Brooke looks up at Lucas she replaces the look with friendliness. Brooke seemed to relax almost instantly.

Peyton and Brooke hit it off straight away. It seemed like they had known each other their whole lifetime. They had just started talking about music when Haley showed up. "Hales, this is Brooke. Brooke, this is one of my best friends Haley. " Haley smiled at Brooke.

"Hi Peyton. We've met. Brooke, I'm glad to see you didn't get lost on your way to school." The three girls started walking towards class and Peyton realized that somewhere in between talking about cheerleading and basketball, Lucas had disappeared.

But that didn't matter. Tonight they had a 'date'. If he knew it or not. And tonight, he was going to realize that he loves her, even if she'd have to do something drastic to make him realize it…

A/N: Hope you liked it. In the next chapter there will be more on Peyton and Jake. And then Lucas and Peyton's 'date'. There may also be a little Nathan and Haley. Not sure yet.
PS# If you have any ideas on what you want happening in the next few chapters let me know. Maybe it will...
