Hey! Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews and suggestions! They helped me a lot!

I don't own OTH or the characters...

I expected more

After the bell rang, Brooke rushed out of the classroom as quickly as possible. She needed some answers from Lucas and she needed them fast. Who did he think he was? How dare he do this to her? How dare he make her feel special and then jump in bed with the first girl he sees, and not just with any girl, with Rachel, her number one enemy!

She spotted him in the hall with all his friends. She rushed over to him and pulled him by his arm. ''Hey, hey! Watch it!'', he yelled.

She stopped, ''Oh, so you want me to yell at you in front of all your precious friends?!'', she asked putting her hands on her hips.

He suddenly realized what that would do to his reputation. Lucas Scott isn't a type of guy who lets girls insult him, ok, so maybe Brooke Davis isn't just another girl, but not even she can humiliate him. ''Ok, ok.'', he whispered to her. ''Just wait a second.'' He turned to the guys, ''I gotta go handle this, boys! Can't keep the girl waiting, right?'', he said with a smirk. All the guys knew what he was talking about and started shouting something like ''Way to go, Lucas!'' or ''You go get her, tiger!''

Brooke was really annoyed by this behavior and she just couldn't help but put Lucas to the ground, ''Oh please! Like a girl like me would ever even touch a guy like Lucas! I'm not that blind!'' All the guys looked at her with shock. Was it possible that the new girl didn't want the captain of the basketball team, the king of the school?

Lucas' jaw dropped, he couldn't believe she had just said that, he couldn't believe she just ruined 3 years of his reputation of the greatest guy in the school. He looked at his friends who didn't know wheteher to laugh or to feel sorry for the guy, and then back at Brooke. ''Did you have to do that?''

She was enjoying the situation, she liked seeing Lucas all nervous and embarrassed, ''Well, if it weren't for your stupid comments about handling this I wouldn't have done it. But, you really had it coming! Now, do you wanna come with me or do you want me to talk to your friends a little more?''

''NO! Ok,ok. Let's go.'', another embarrassment like that would be his worst nightmare, and he also knew that he's gonna have to talk to Brooke eventually...

When they were finally alone, Brooke got serious again. He wasn't going to let him think everything was ok, he didn't deserve it.

''So, what did you wanna talk about?'', he asked relaxed, as if nothing was wrong.

''Congratulations!'', she said sarcastically.

''What are you talking about?'', he frowned. Was there something he didn't know about?

''Don't play stupid, Lucas! I know you and Rachel are back being fuck buddies!'', she could barely say this second sentence.

Suddenly, his eyes widened. How the hell did she find out? She wasn't suppose to know about that! He and Rachel agreed to keep it a secret! It's not like that was going to happen again. He just needed someone that wouldn't ask any questions. He just needed to be his old self, he needed to remember what was it like when he didn't have all these confusing feelings... ''Who told you?'', he asked avoiding eye contact.

So, it was true. Brooke expected him to deny the entire thing, she expected him to say that he would never do such a thing. She expected him to change for her... But, she expected too much... ''It really doesn't matter...'', she said hurt. ''What matters is the fact that you're turning back into the same ass you were a month ago!''

He really was behaving like an idiot, and he knew that. But he also knew that letting Brooke in would be a risky. And, whenever he took risks, it didn't end well. He remembered when he opened up to a girl once...

Flashback

It was Valentine's day and Lucas wanted to spend it with his first real girlfriend, his first love, Anna.

He never felt anything like this towards anyone before, it was so hard to explain those feelings.

Everytime someone mentioned her name his heart would start working so fast he thought it was going to explode.

Everytime he saw her, he was amazed by her every move, by the way her eyes lightened up when she was talking about something she liked,

by the way she frowned when she didn't understand something or by the way she bit her lower lip when she was nervous.

That day they agreed to go to the movies and later, they went to the Rivercourt and talked.

That was when she told him the big news, the news that her parents were sending her to Europe to a great boarding school, the news that she was leaving him.

He couldn't believe it, he couldn't understand it. He just couldn't...

That was when Lucas realized what love really meant, it meant nothing but pain and hurt. That was when he promised himself never that he would never fall in love. And, Brooke Davis was not helping him make his promise.

''Lucas?!'', Brooke snapped him out of his thoughts, ''Aren't you going to say anything?'', she was furious by now. Not only did he sleep with Rachel but he won't even deny that he's an ass.

''There's nothing to say, Brooke.'', he said softly, ''You allways knew I was a player and you should have known not to try and change me.'', he could see the disappointment in her eyes, but he knew it was for the best.

All hope was gone now. She failed... She failed and now her heart was broken into million pieces. Tears were starting to form into her eyes and she hated that. She hated the fact that she was breaking in front of him. He was a jerk, he told her that himself, he showed her he didn't care so it was pathetic showing him that she cared. ''Yeah... I should have known.'', she said wiping a tear from her cheek and leaving.

''I'm sorry...'', Lucas whispered, but it was too late, she was gone.

Here you go, guys! I hope you liked it! I know it's a little short but I wanted to update sooner.

Please review, I really want to know what you think, your opinion means a lot to me!

Thanks!
