CHAPTER 4 – Two Can Play That Game

"So…did you guys like the beach?" Lucas let out. The tension in the room was definitely getting to him. The four had been sitting at the kitchen table and eating their hamburgers in silence for the past twenty minutes. Yes, they eat slow.

"It was just perfect. I had so much fun!" Brooke added, not hiding her clear sarcasm.

"Oh cool! I'm glad you liked it because we are going to be hanging out their for the rest of the summer." Lucas added. Boys are so clueless. "Rachel and Peyton seem friendly."

Nathan gave Lucas a warning look. Even he knew the girls hated each other. Before Brooke and Haley could respond he stepped in, "Lucas why don't you come with me upstairs. I want to show you something."

"Sure, bye girls." Lucas called out.

"I cannot believe he just said those girls seemed friendly." Brooke huffed.

"It's true Brooke. They seemed really friendly." Haley countered.

"Do you think Lucas likes Peyton? That's so not fair. I saw him first!! Am I getting ugly or something?"

"Brooke calm down. I'm sure Lucas likes you more than that skinny bimbo. He was probably just trying to start a conversation and made a mistake."

"A big mistake. Why are boys so stupid?"

"That's a question even scientists can figure out."

"Damn, and I thought scientists were smart."

"Lucas are you retarded?" Nathan yelled as soon as the boys got into his room.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lucas fired back.

"I'm talking about how you said Rachel and Peyton were "friendly". Didn't you see Brooke's reaction?"

"No."

"Well she was obviously pissed."

"Why would she be?"

"Do you need me to spell this out for you?" Nathan said, and when Lucas just gave him a confused look he continued on. "Brooke likes you. Peyton made her jealous. Now she is mad because she probably thinks you like Peyton more than her."

"Oh, I get it."

"Finally."

"So what should I do?"

"Prove to Brooke who you like more at the party tonight."

"How do I do that?"

"I'm sure you'll figure something out."

"Right. Thanks a lot."

When Nathan and Lucas got to the party it was already in full swing. Drunken high schoolers were sprawled out all over the lovely house drinking, laughing, and grinding. The boys left before Brooke and Haley because they weren't even close to being ready at 9:15. Almost immediately after entering, Rachel found Nathan and walked over.

"Hey there," she called out. "I'm so glad you guys showed up."

"Wouldn't miss a good party." Nathan replied.

"Hey guys," Peyton said walking up to the small group, and winking at Lucas.

"Do you two wanna dance?" Rachel asked, trying her best to look sexy. She was wearing an extremely short, Abercrombie denim shirt, with a stripped blue and white tube top. Peyton was wearing an thin-strapped, cheetah top with tight jeans.

"Sure," Lucas answered, even though he figured Brooke might be mad about this.

When the girls finally arrived to the party, all eyes were on them. Brooke was wearing a silky pink and black top, paired with a tight black shirt that left hardly anything left to imagine. On the other hand, Haley was wearing a very sexy purple top and a cute, jeweled, jean skirt. They were the hottest girls at the party, by far.

When Haley saw Nathan dancing with Rachel, her heart broke. She had taken so much time getting ready and trying to look perfect for Nathan but she was still too late. Brooke, noticing her friend's clear disappointment, dragged Haley on to the dance floor.

"If they are too stupid to choose those brainless hoes over us then that's their fault." Brooke stated.

Haley quickly smiled and decided Brooke was right. "Thanks Tigger, you always know what to say."

"What can I say? I'm simply amazing. Now come on, this is not a sob fest. Let's go dance." Brooke ordered.

Brooke and Haley started moving towards Lucas and Nathan on the dance floor. Brooke was determined to make those guys jealous.

"Umm Peyton I think I'm going to go get a drink. I'll see ya later." Lucas said after a song had just ended.

"Yeah, me too. See you guys later." Nathan added in.

After getting a drink the boys looked over and noticed everything was crowded in one spot in the dance floor.

"I wonder what they're all looking at." Lucas inquired.

"Come on man. Let's get find out." Nathan said, and started pushing his way through the group of people. His eyes nearly fell out when he saw Brooke and Haley dancing with each other, very sexily. They were singing along to "My Humps" by Black-Eyed Peas when two guys came in between them and put their arms around the girls.

"Why do those guys think they're doing?" Nathan asked aloud.

"Yeah, they shouldn't be dancing that close to girls they don't even know." Lucas added, equally angry.

"Haley definitely needs to stop grinding on him. Wait a minute, did she just drop down low?"

"Woah, Brooke really needs to slow down."

Throughout the song Brooke and Haley continued to dance and enjoy themselves, while Lucas and Nathan complained about how wrong they were. After the song ended they went to go get a drink, when Peyton and Rachel walked up.

"Wow girls, I so happy you could come." Rachel said, showing her fake smile.

"Thanks, umm..oops I forgot your name." Brooke lied.

"It's Rachel."

"Rach-hoe?"

"No, Rachel."

"Right whatever."

"Just so you know, if you think you're getting Lucas you are wrong." Peyton bitched.

"And why is that?" Brooke asked.

"Because he wants me."

"We'll see about that."

"Please Brooke, accept the fact that Lucas doesn't want you. Haley already accepted the fact that Nathan doesn't want her stupid-ass." Rachel stated.

"What did you just say bitch?" Haley yelled.

"Nathan doesn't want you either." Rachel spelled out slowly.

"One, what makes you think Nathan would like some fake slut like you? And two, Nathan just came here because he felt sorry for you."

"That's not what he told me earlier when he invited me back to his place." Rachel said, smiling when she saw Haley's reaction.

"You're lying. He wouldn't do that."

"Whatever, I don't have time for you. Come on Peyton, let's go." With that, the girls walked away leaving a distressed Haley, and a very pissed of Brooke.

Haley suddenly had a million questions running through her head. Was Rachel lying? Did Nathan actually say that? Why was he dancing with her? What if he thinks I'm crazy? What if he likes Rachel more than me? Where the hell did he go?

Nathan and Lucas were very mad and confused. Why would the girls dance with other guys? They know we like them. How could they?

"If they don't like us we'll just have to move on." Lucas said.

"Fine, it's their loss. At least Peyton and Rachel like us." Nathan added. "We are at least comign out of this situation with some girls."

"Yeah come on. Let's go say goodbye to them and go home."

It didn't take long for the boys to find Rachel and Peyton on the dance floor.

"We are going to head out but we were wondering if you guys wanted to meet us for lunch tomorrow." Nathan asked smiling.

"We'd love too!" Peyton happily replied before the four exchanged cell phone numbers.

"Bye sexy." Rachel said to Nathan, as he was getting ready to leave, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Bye Luke. See you tomorrow." Peyton said and pulled Lucas in for a hug.

As Brooke and Haley watched this interaction all they could do was sigh. If this is how they wanted to play, it was on. Peyton and Rachel better watch their backs. Two can play that game.
