Chapter Two: Too Many People are Unfaithful

The final bell rang to signal for the end of the day and Brooke sighed a sigh of relief. She gathered her books and headed towards her locker. On her way there she bumped into Lucas.

"Oh hey Luke."

Lucas smirked, "Brooke."

Brooke giggled as she slipped her arm through his "What's that look buddy?"

"Nothing, I'm just feeling a little horny." He joked. Brooke made a disgusted face and playfully pushed him.

"Eww, I think I just puked a little in my mouth." She joked back.

"Thanks Brooke, I love you too." They stopped at the lockers. Lucas looked around to make sure no one was coming and then snuck a small peck on Brooke's lips. She smiled against them but then pulled away when they heard someone clear their throats. Brooke jumped back startled, dropping her books. She looked up and glared at the red head she had seen earlier.

"Sorry." Rachel frowned. "I didn't mean to startle you I was just trying to get to my locker."

Brooke looked up at Rachel confused as she picked up her books. She had assumed her to be as stuck up and bitchy as her friend, the ugly blonde. Brooke grabbed her last book and smiled a weak smile.

"No, it's fine." Brooke looked at Lucas who was staring at Rachel's body as Rachel put in her combonation. Brooke punched him in the arm and it shook him from his thoughts.

"You know, I never got to introduce myself earlier. I'm-" Lucas started, but Rachel cut him off without even looking at him.

"I know who you are, Lucas." Rachel closed her locker and smiled weakly, "Everyone does." With that Rachel left and was heading towards the tutor center.

Brooke leaned against the lockers and covered her eyes with her hand. She sighed before she spoke.

"I can't keep doing this Lucas." Brooke looked at him with a pout "We could have been caught."

Lucas grabbed her hand. "How could we get caught? We've been doing this for months and no ones even batted an eye."

Brooke was starting to tear up. "I know, but Lucas, I can't lose my best friend." Brooke stood on her tip toes and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before she headed out towards the tutor center to pick up Haley.

Rachel turned the corner around the tutor center and bumped into a tall, solid body coming out. Rachel looked up at gorgeous blue eyes.

"Sorry." She whispered.

"No, it was my fault." Nathan responded. Rachel brought her eyes down to his lips and let out a small chuckle. Nathan looked back at her confused. "Is something wrong?"

"No you just have some pink lip gloss by the corner of your lip."

Nathan hurriedly covered his mouth and started to wipe it away. Rachel laughed and Nathan couldn't help but laugh either. He looked around uncomfortably and then bid her good bye as he headed off towards the door.

Rachel then went in the door and saw Haley James sorting through some papers. Rachel fixed her hair and her outfit, telling herself, 'First impressions count.' Rachel headed over and sat down next to Haley, who looked up for the first time.

"Can I help you?" Haley asked.

"Uh, I think so." Rachel looked down at her chipped finger nail polish "I signed up for a tutor and you're the best one here so I thought maybe you could help me."

Haley nodded and got up to head over to the door. She grabbed a clip board and read it slowly, her finger gliding down with each line.

"Are you Rachel Gatina?" Haley asked, not even looking up. Rachel smiled before she responded.

"Yes, yes I am."

"I'm not your tutor." Haley replied bluntly, throwing the clip board down on the counter. "It has another name here."

"Who?" Rachel asked impatiently. Haley rolled her eyes as she picked up the clip board again.

"Peyton Sawyer."

"Shit." Rachel mumbled under her breath.

"Pardon?" Haley asked.

"No, nothing." Rachel frowned "Thanks anyway." Rachel looked at Haley's lips. They were pink, sort of like the color on Nathan's face. That's when Rachel really took a notice at Haley for the first time since she came into the tutor center. Haley's shirt was wrinkled and her sweater was inside out.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Haley asked, watching Rachel checking her out. Rachel snapped out of her thoughts and then responded.

"No, I just wanted to say I like you're lip gloss. It's a nice color."

Haley smiled sweetly.

"Thanks."

Rachel nodded as she headed for the door. Haley stood by the counter, biting her lip, contemplating something in her brain. Finally she came to a decision.

"Wait Rachel!" Haley called. Rachel smiled before she turned around.

"Yeah?"

"If you need a tutor, I'm willing to help you."

"Thanks, that means a lot." Rachel looked at the clock in the tutor center. She had to meet Peyton, Jake, and Bevin pretty soon. "Can we meet here tomorrow after school."

Haley nodded, "No problem."

With that, Rachel left the tutor center, her heart jumping for joy.

Rachel walked out of the school doors and saw Peyton's car sitting in the parking lot. Bevin and Jake were there too. She headed off towards the car and then realized someone was walking beside her. She looked up and saw Nathan Scott again.

"Fancy bumping into you again." Rachel said as she stopped. He stopped as well and turned to face her.

"Ah, you probably say that to all the hot guys." He replied egotistically.

"I would if there was a hot guy anywhere near here." She joked. Nathan laughed to and then stopped. He really took a notice to Rachel for the first time. She was tall and skinny and had great breasts that were sticking out of her green tube top. Her red hair was straight and silky, and shinny. He was starting to feel a bit turned on.

Rachel noticed his eyes scanning her body and she thought to herself, 'I may be popular faster than I think.'

Nathan snapped from his thoughts as he got an idea. He asked, "Do you have a ride home?"

Rachel looked at Peyton, who was looking back, frowning. Rachel knew she would be hurting Peyton but Rachel wanted to become popular more than anything.

"No, I don't have a ride home. I was thinking of walking."

"No need to walk." Nathan took his keys out of his pocket. "I'll drive you."

Rachel smiled uncomfortably. "Sure, why not." They started walking and as they turned the corner Rachel could feel Peyton's glare eating through her skin.

'I'll explain everything at home.' Rachel thought to herself.
