Okay:: Well I really can't be bothered to keep writing it out with adding stuff, so I thought I would write it like a script and let your imaginations take over and feel the characters::
:: The Playground ::
Kate pulls away from the kiss, placing a hand over her lips.
Kate: "Oh my god, what have I done?"
Lucas, looking confused licks his lips
Lucas: "Do you need me to dictate?" He said in a joking manor.
Kate: "That's not funny. Your Nathan's brother."
Lucas: "Half Brother, and use that word a little more loosely would ya"
Kate: "Your Haley's best friend"
Lucas: "2 for 2 so far, I'm not seeing what's wrong here?" Pause "I like you, your funny, witty, charming and not self obsessed..and from that kiss I would pretty much say you like me.."
Kate: "I do like you.."
Lucas: "Then what's the problem?"
Kate: "...It's just..."
Lucas: "Just what?" Takes a step closer to her, looking into her eyes.
Kate: "Nathan and I used to date.."
Lucas: "And now he's dating Haley...do you still have a thing for him?"
Kate laughs slightly.
Kate: "No, of course not. Its just... there's a history there and he's my best friend. I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings."
Lucas: "What about your feelings? What about mine?"
Kate: "It's not that simple"
Lucas: "We can make it that simple"
Lucas steps in closer, placing his hands on her face leaning in and kissing her, passionately.
:: In Nathan's bedroom ::
Nathan is sitting at the top of the bed, with a basketball in his hands. Haley is sitting at the bottom of the bed reading a book.
Nathan: "You think Lucas likes Kate?"
Haley looks up from reading and closes the book
Haley: "I dunno. I know Kate has probably a little spark for him, you know nothing too Dawson's creek, no Dawson or Joey moment...not even a Pacey and Joey moment, but possibly a Jen and Dawson, you know right at the beginning of the series when Dawson was interested and Jen.."
Haley looks at Nathan who seems confused
Haley: "Sorry wrong Scott to do the Dawson's Creek deal on. Erm, I think there could be something there. I mean I hope so, Luke deserves to be happy and Kate seems like a wonderful person. She's headstrong as demonstrated earlier when she laid into one of the populars.."
Nathan: "I don't think it should happen."
Haley: "Wait hold up, why not?"
Nathan: "They just wouldn't suit each other."
Haley: "Says you! I mean, you knew her what when you were both in your little hormonal early teenage years, where girls and boys aren't exactly that different. I mean she was a little tomboy into all the sports, so you say and now she's still into the basketball and what not, but she's now a women, she's got other interests, has PMS and breasts and what not"
Nathan: "It's not like that"
Haley: "Nathan why are you so jealous?"
Nathan: "I'm not jealous"
Haley: "Do you like her more than a friend?"
Nathan: "God Haley, don't be so paranoid"
Haley: "A yes or a no?"
Nathan: "It's hard to explain.."
Haley: "Well don't explain then" Haley gets up and turns to walk out of the door.
Nathan: "She was the first girl I ever loved...and the first girl I ever had sex with."
Haley turning around looking at him, a little hurt.
Nathan: "Haley, I love you."
Haley: "Then why didn't you tell me.."
Nathan: "Because I didn't think it was relevant."
Haley: "It's not completely essential that we go through every girl that you've ever fancied, been out with or ...you know with, but it would have been nice to know that your first ever girlfriend was also your first ever...you know."
Nathan stands up and walks over to her
Nathan: "We were 14, experimenting and things happened. I didn't want to tell you in case you went all psycho weird on her, I mean she's new and she really likes you. I just wanted her to fit in."
Haley: "Well then let her fit in, let her find her own path in high school, let her be friends with who she wants to be friends with. Let her date who she wants to date, don't judge her because you don't know her as well as you did."
Nathan: "Okay, I promise I won't butt in."
Haley: "Scouts promise?"
Nathan: "I wasn't in the scouts" He smirks
Haley: "Well amuse me." She leans up and hugs him.
Nathan: "I promise."
:: In the girls bathroom ::
The Bell goes. Brooke and Peyton are standing facing the mirror, readjusting their makeup
Brooke: "So what do you think of the new girl?"
Peyton: "You mean Kate?"
Brooke: "Yeah, I mean Luke sure seemed to take a bit of a shine to her yesterday. I even heard they left school together, you know side by side."
Peyton: "First of all, I couldn't give a rats ass if Lucas was interested in her. Secondly, Kate is a lovely gal pal, not exactly what you would call cheerleader chirpy but she ain't exactly tortured student either."
Brooke: "So in other words, she's not me and...she's not you."
Peyton: "Why do you care so much, I thought you were over the whole Lucas, Brooke, Peyton little triangle love affair?"
Brooke: "I am, way over. In fact, I am so over it that I even have us a couple of hot dates lined up for tonight."
Peyton turns and looks at Brooke, suspicious.
Peyton: "Let me guess, fraternity boys who just wanna get laid"
Brooke: "Not exactly. I will tell you though that they are both super fine, I mean 90210 series 1-3 Luke Perry, Jason Priestly fine! To know more you'll have to show up"
Brooke winks at Peyton as she turns and walks out of the bathroom. Peyton looks in the mirror, before opening her bag up and taking out a small bottle of vodka, taking a sip from it and then putting it back in her bag.
Peyton: "Hmm, guess I'll just have to"
:: School Hallway ::
Hallway is practically deserted. Lucas is walking down the centre by himself. Suddenly a hand pulls him into an empty classroom. Kate pulls Lucas to her, forcing herself back against the wall as they kiss.
Lucas: "We can't keep doing this" He says breaking away from the kiss
Kate: "Doing what?"
Lucas: "Hiding, in secret. I don't care if people see us, I'm not ashamed."
Kate: "Neither am I.."
Lucas puts his hands in his pockets and shoots her a look.
Lucas: "Really, then why is it every time you kiss me, it seems to be either in the dark or in an empty classroom."
Kate: "You want me to push you up against the lockers, all dominatrix style and give everyone a little show? I mean I think they charge for that...hell I think it's even an offence, but if it's what turns you on.." She jokes.
Lucas smirks and looks down to the floor then back up again
Lucas: "I just mean, I want our next kiss to be somewhere.. where it seems we aren't hiding.."
Kate: "Ok, sir" She adds a little salute. "Now can I kiss you?"
Lucas takes his hands out of his pockets.
Lucas: "Kiss away"
Kate leans up and kisses Lucas again. This time Lucas pushes her against the wall, one of his hands up the back of her shirt and the other leaning against the wall. As they start getting carried away into the moment, the door opens.
Teacher: "Uh hm"
Kate: "Is that public enough for you?" She whispers.
Kate and Lucas, turn to look at the teacher who is followed by some students, some guys from the basketball team. Lucas looks to Kate and blushes, as the teacher indicates for the two of them to join her, as the guys start to whistle.
:: At Lunch ::
Brooke walks up to where Haley and Nathan are sitting and joins them.
Brooke: "Oh my gosh, did you hear about the little expose that happened earlier in one of the English classrooms?" She looks at the two of them, neither of them knowing what happened.
"As if! Okay well, Lucas and the new girl were getting their freak on when a teacher walks in on the pair of them, followed by her class which consists of half of the basketball team! So naturally, I find out all goss before everyone else." She flashes a smile.
Haley: "No way. I mean Lucas and Kate? In the classroom? They've only known each like 5 minutes."
Brooke: "What did you expect, he is a little man whore after all"
Haley: "But I mean, seriously ...not even a day and he's already making out with her, sucking face." Haley stops and turns to Nathan, who doesn't seem amused.
Nathan, imitating Haley: "I think it would be good for the two of them"
Nathan stands up and walks out of the cafeteria. Haley looks up after him
Brooke: "Okay, did I just step into a bizzaro world where Nathan has gone back to little miss moody, I have PMT constantly?"
Haley shoots her an 'it would be best to close your mouth right now' look.
Nathan sees Kate walking down the hallway, he catches up.
Nathan: "Hey little miss I like to kiss guys in the classroom then get caught by the teacher girl."
Kate turns around and faces him.
Kate: "Wow who knew that you could do humour so poor" She smirks.
Nathan: "So is it true."
Kate: "Yeh.."
Kate continues to walk on.
Nathan: "Do you like him?"
Kate: "I think I do.."
Nathan looking slightly jealous.
Nathan: "Well just be careful."
Kate looks at him as if he should mind her own business.
Kate: "I will be, I promise. Besides I'm not 14 anymore, I know exactly what I'm doing."
Kate takes a step forward and hugs Nathan. Lucas is watching from down the hallway. He turns and walks off slowly. Nathan walks off and Kate looks down the hallway seeing Lucas. She runs and catches up to him.
Kate: "Hey stranger. So tell me you get in any more trouble than I did?"
Lucas stops and looks at her.
Lucas: "No, just a slap on the wrist and a don't do it again speech."
Kate: "Damn and here was me wanting to have an instant replay"
Lucas smiles and looks down to the floor.
Kate: "So you weren't coming to say hey to me, before you saw me hugging Nathan?"
Lucas looks at her.
Lucas: "You confuse me."
Kate: "In what way?" Lucas: "When I'm hanging with you, I think you could like me. But when your not, I look into your little world and see that you could like someone else."
Kate: "He's my best friend. A hug, comfort hug to make him by the thought of me having a thing for you."
Lucas: "He gave you the be careful speech?"
Kate: "Yeah, how'd you know?"
Lucas: "I gave the same one to Hales when she got with him."
Kate: "Well there ya go then."
Kate looks around, the people walking past her. Impulsively she leans up and kisses a shocked Lucas. He kisses back for a second, before she steps back.
Lucas: "What was that for.."
Kate: "Call it public affection." She smiles
Peyton is looking down the hallway, watching the commotion. Haley and Nathan walk up to her. Nathan looks down and sees Lucas and Kate together. He holds Haley's hand, and looks down at her, reassuring her that she is the one he wants to be with.
Peyton: "It's funny you know. When you see someone you cared about with another person, you start to think you might want them back.."
Haley and Nathan look at her. Brooke is watching from a different angle, with a hurt look on her face.
Next On One Tree Hill:
Kate and Lucas are on Lucas's bed, going a little bit further than kissing. Kate puts a hand on Lucas's hand, stopping him from going any further.
Kate: "Slow.."
Lucas smiles at her: "No other way." He leans down and kisses her.
Brooke is making out with a frat guy when she hears some commotion. Peyton has passed out on the floor, and the cops have just hit the party. Brooke decides not to take off and stick with her friend.
Police Officer: "How old are you?"
Brooke: "17." She looks to Peyton, worried.
Haley and Nathan walking down the street and see Dan, talking to his mom.
Nathan: "What the hell is going on?"
Haley: "Maybe they are just having a conversation?"
Dan leans in and kisses his mom.
Nathan looking shocked.
