Chapter 3
Deb Scott stood in a white skirt and top in the entrance of Tree Hill High School waiting for her friend Karen Roe to appear.
"Deb you look great." Keith Scott said as Deb turned around to hug her brother-in-law. "Thanks Keith you look lovely too." Deb replied.
"Look who it is the happy couple!" Dan exclaimed sarcastically as he walked out to see his wife and brother hugging. "Doesn't this just make you wanna walk down memory lane to when you slept with my wife hey big bro?" Dan said giving Keith another evil smile as he walked back into the hall.
"Just ignore Keith he is just jealous that you are finally happy. So how are things going with Jules?"
"They're great she had business to take care of tonight, but we are actually going away for the weekend next week." Keith said trying really hard to keep in his excitement.
"Deb, where have you been?" Karen asked emerging form the hall.
"Karen I'm just coming, I guess I'll see you later." Deb said going to help Karen inside.
Keith vaguely waved and smiled back at Deb, thinking to himself how awful his relationship with Karen had become that they couldn't talk or even look each other in the eye anymore.
Back inside the hall it was filling up quickly. Jake had just arrived and was surprised to see that Peyton wasn't there yet, but that just reminded him of their terrible argument and the horrible things he said to her. Haley was dancing with Nathan but when she saw Jake walk in the door without Peyton she went over to speak to him.
"Jake, where's Peyton?" Haley asked curiously. "We kinda had a fight and broke up, so she got out of the cat and walked, actually ', kind of worried she isn't here yet." Jake said looking around the room once more.
Brooke was sitting down at one of the many tables watching Felix flirt with another girl, she thought to herself, what am I doing with him I don't even like him and I only came to prom with him to make Lucas jealous. Then she looked over at Lucas who was talking to Peyton as she walked through the, so her jealousy thing really wasn't working. Brooke then saw Felix walk over to her, "Brooke, would you like a drink or do you wanna maybe dance again." Felix said desperately.
"Actually I have a bit of a headache I'm gonna go outside for a bit of fresh air." Brooke said getting up and walking past Felix not taking her eyes off Lucas as she walked out the back door.
Lucas watched Brooke walk outside and he desperately wanted to follow her outdoors but could tell by her face that she wasn't in the mood for talking. Lucas turned around to see Keith standing behind him.
"Keith you made it!" Lucas said with a smile for the first time this evening.
