Chapter 3

Rewind…earlier that morning at the Roe household…

Lucas's POV

Well, Hello Tree Hill. It Ray from 97.9 and it is 7 am on this Monday morning, first day of school for most. The first song of today will be Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin. Hope you enjoy. I pushed my head up off of my pillow and slammed the snooze button as soon as Dark Blue came out of my tiny alarm clock speakers. Sitting up on my twin sized bed I wiped the sleep out of my eyes and sighed, "First day of school, yea," I thought to myself.

"Lucas honey, it's time for school," Karen yelled down the hall, her voice penetrating through my wooden door.

"Yea I'm up," I replied tiredly.

Pushing myself off of my bed I walked into my bathroom and slipped out of my boxers and into the shower. I felt more relaxed after my hot shower, put on some clothes and walked into the kitchen, to find Karen making breakfast. I grabbed a bagel, as usual, walked back into my bedroom to grab my backpack and out the front door. I turned on my motorcycled and started my first of many journeys to Tree Hill High.

As I pulled up to my new high school I saw quite a few people staring, most of them were girls, but that didn't matter to me. I still had Brooke on my mind and even though I may never see her again, I still held hope that someday I might find her. I held my helmet under my arm and my backpack over my shoulder as I walked through the courtyard and into the hallway. I managed to find the principal's office, told him I was a new student and my name, and he gave me my schedule and offered me a guide, but I declined. So I found myself in the hallway, with the other masses of people, trying to find C204, my Calculus class with Mr. Booth. Just minutes before class started I saw that all of the students stopped walking and were looking towards the entrance doors, so I too found myself stopping and looking at the entrance, not knowing I was in for the biggest shock of my life. Thankfully I was born tall, so I could see over the rows of people in front of me and that is when I saw her, my dark angel, Brooke. My mouth dropped open and then turned into a smile as I saw her walk down the hallway. She looked even more beautiful if that is even possible and I soon thought of what I was going to say to her, but before I could get to far I noticed she wasn't walking alone. She was with a guy, and the first thing I thought was that he was her boyfriend, my smile was soon wiped off my face and quickly, I turned walking the other direction, still looking for room C204.

Brooke's POV

When Nathan and I walked into school, of course I felt all of the eyes on me, but something felt different. As I was walking down the hall, a light smell of smoke and leather filled my nostrils and brought me back to last night, on the beach, talking to Lucas. As I reached the end of the hallway I turned around and at the end of the hallway I saw a mess of blonde hair, a leather jacket and jeans, covering a strong, muscular body that made me go weak in the knees. 'Is there really the possibility that he is at my school?' I thought, while a smile started to play on my lips.

"What so interesting?" Nathan said, as he looked towards the direction Lucas was in just moments before.

"Nothing, nothing important. So, you don't happen to have English with Mrs. Hogan first do you?" I asked with a little bit of nervousness in my voice. After freshman year I never was really good with people and the whole teasing thing. All last year I either had Nathan or Haley in all of my classes.

"No I don't actually, but I'm sure Haley will be with you. Don't worry Brookie, you'll do fine," he said as he put his hand under my chin and pulled me in for a hug. After breaking apart I started walking towards Mrs. Hogan's class as I heard the school bell ring. I was about to turn the corner when I heard Nathan's voice one more time, "Brooke can you catch a ride with Haley this afternoon, I have basketball?"

"Yea, sure of course, I'll ask her," I turned the corner and walked down another hallway lined with blue lockers and white walls covered in different colored papers. Mrs. Hogan's room was at the end of the hall and when I walked in I was trying to slip in quietly and almost managed to do so, until my chair creaked when I sat down. 'Damnit' I thought to myself.

"Well, Ms. Davis it's nice of you to show up for class, mind telling me why your late," Mrs. Hogan practically yelled.

"Um, I kinda over slept," I replied timidly, looking down at my hands that were placed on my desk. Everyone was looking at me, and I started to hyperventilate a little bit. I hate when people stare at me or give me unwanted attention, especially when I'm all by myself.

"I'll let it go this time cause it's the first day of school, but try getting to school on time next time." After speaking she turned to the chalkboard and started writing our first assignment of junior year.

'Wow snooze fest,' the whole rest of the period I was staring out the window, trying to think if I actually did see Lucas in the hallway. I spent my whole first half of my classes just totally oblivious to all of my teachers and classes, I mean it's the first day of school it's not like we do too much anyways. So, when I heard the lunch bell I dashed out of my 5th period class and run through the hallway that was only starting to fill with students. I take a detour and make it to an abandoned staircase in the old building of our fine school. As I run down the stairs I start pulling out my used to be favorite cigarettes, that is until I had Lucas's yesterday, they tasted so good, so different. Soon I found myself at a slightly rusted door leading to the old courtyard. I pushed the door open and saw the same courtyard I spent most of my high school days at. I could still see myself sitting here with all my cheerleader friends two years ago when this courtyard was not abandoned for a new one. No one comes here anymore so, this is where I hang out for most of my free periods and some of the lunch period, if I'm not with Nathan or Haley. I pretty much spend at least one or two periods in this courtyard, smoking and pondering life I guess, as cliché as that sounds. I take a few steps onto the greenish – brown grass and lean my back against the side of the stucco school building. I stick my cigarette in my mouth and brought the lighter up to the butt of the cigarette as I did yesterday. I flicked the switch on the lighter, trying to light the cigarette, but it wasn't lighting. I flicked a couple more times before silently cursing, closing my eyes and bringing the lighter down to my side. I breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth when I felt a slightly warmer sensation close to my face.

I opened my eyes to find fingernails that have been chewed and some dirt slightly pushed under the very small amount of nail that was there. My eyes made there way up his fingers to find that he had very callused hands that clasped a lighter that looked very familiar. Traveling up his arm and a strong torso, my eyes land upon the face of the blue-eyed boy I had been dreaming about, Lucas.

"Lighter giving you trouble again, huh?" he said while putting his lighter to a new cigarette placed between his two perfect lips, then blew out a puff of smoke before looking into my hazel eyes. "You might want to try investing in a new one."

"Yea, I thought about it, but just haven't gotten around to it yet," I replied, moving my gaze away from his face and out to the empty courtyard. Whenever I looked into his eyes I feel as if he understood me all of me, and that scared me shitless. Only one other boy has looked at me that way and that boy almost killed me (aka broke my heart).

"Well, this was my last cigarette, so I need to get some more. If you want to come you can," he replied with a small smile on his face.

"Um, sure I guess. That'd be great," I answered, trying to hide the smile that was pulling at my cheeks by sticking my cigarette back into my mouth and taking a drag and blowing it into the already polluted air.

"Sounds good, I'll pick you up after school. Meet me at my bike in the parking lot." With that he tossed his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, crushing the burning ashes into the slightly dead grass. He opened the door and walked back into the school, so I turned away from the closing door, facing the courtyard and grabbed my phone from my pocket. I was going to text Nathan and tell him I had a ride home, but before I could push send I heard a whoosh of air and the sound of the door reopening and hitting the side of the building. I turn to see Lucas walking over to me and before I can say anything, he pulls the cigarette out of my mouth and threw it on the ground. Placing his callused hands on each side of my porcelain skin and looked deeply into my eyes before placing his delicate lips on mine. This kiss was small, but passionate and the moment it was over I felt a tingling sensation run over my mouth. I brought my right hand up to touch where his lips were moments ago on mine.

"That was for getting interrupted last night," he said while biting his bottom lip slightly, trying to suppress the growing smile on his face, "I'll see you later, Pretty Girl."

And with that he was gone and I was left alone in an abandoned courtyard, but that didn't matter. The moment Lucas walked into my life, I knew things were going to be different, but I never in my wildest dreams imagined them to turn out like this. So I was left alone with my thoughts and all I could think about doing was some crazy ridiculous dance, so I did. And it felt good. I haven't felt like this in about 2 years and no one is going to ruin it for me. When I was done making a fool out of myself, in front of no one thank god, I grabbed my shoulder bag, finished texting Nathan and walked back into school with a smile plastered on my face.
