Skills was looking out the window for who he had invited to his house. He knew it was going to cause trouble for Lucas but he didn't think that Peyton was right for him. Skills has meet all of Lucas' girlfriend, he thinks Lindsay is the perfect choice. The door suddenly knocked, Skills thoughts about how he's going to plan this out went away.

"I'm coming." Skills turned around from the window. He walked over to his apartment door and opened it. Lindsay stood outside of the hallway, looking confused as to what he wanted.

"I received your text." Lindsay showed him her phone. Skills moved aside and let Lindsay walk into his small apartment. There wasn't much space for her to walk around. There was just a living room and a kitchen.

"I know it's small but it's just for me and my girlfriend." Skills walked over to the living room and sat down in the single chair. Lindsay followed behind and sat in the chair that was in front of him.

"It's nice." Lindsay tried to compliment him but it looked like a mess. They sat in silence, Lindsay wanted to know what he wanted.

"Your probably wondering what you're doing here?" Skills chuckled. Lindsay nodded. "We know that you're here for Lucas, that's the only reason why you came back." Skills told her. Lindsay's eyes became wide. She hasn't even spoken to Lucas yet but now everyone knows that she's here for Lucas.

"Who knows?" Lindsay quickly asked.

"Uh, Haley, Nathan, Brooke, Lucas, Mouth, Millicent, Iris…the whole town." Skills shrugged his shoulders. Lindsay ran through those names again in her head.

"Who's Iris?" Lindsay raised her eyebrow, a little angry at the fact that a stranger knows why she's here.

"Iris is Millicent's best friend and Brooke's. She knows more about you than you do yourself." Skills laughed, Lindsay rolled her eyes. She noticed that Skills still didn't answer question.

"What am I doing here, Skills?" Lindsay asked, holding onto her purse.

"Well, I want to help you win Lucas back." Skills confessed. Lindsay couldn't help but laugh. She thought that this was a sick game that he was playing with her. Skills would have never choose her, she thought.

"Me? Why not Peyton?" Lindsay asked him.

"Haley has her." Skills quickly said, answering her. Lindsay was shocked that Haley would choice Peyton's side. Lindsay rolled her eyes again, the whole thing was irritating.

"Peyton, does Brooke know?" Lindsay asked, feeling sorry for what Brooke if feeling right now. Skills nodded, looking down at the ground. "Well, that's messed up." Lindsay blurted it out.

"Yea." Skills said.

"And who has Brooke?" Lindsay asked, making her eyes big. Skills hesitated for a moment. He didn't think he should tell Lindsay because Brooke doesn't know that she's in the game.

"Iris, Mouth and Millicent." Skills said in one breath.

"Oh, great. Peyton has Haley, Brooke has everyone and I have…" Lindsay looked at Skills. She didn't like the idea. Skills waited a second. "Thanks for the offer but I want to do this on my own." Lindsay told her, she looked around for a moment and stood up. "I mine as well go back to the California." Lindsay huffed. Skills stood in front of the door before she could go any further.

"Don't leave. You and Lucas belong together. You guys have so much in common. Don't give up now. Just because there might be a little competition, doesn't mean that you wont win his heart. You are the only person that could actually have a chance." Skills strongly believed.

"I don't want to play for Lucas' heart. I want to love me because he loves me." Lindsay told him.

"If that's really what you wanted, then you wouldn't be here right now. You would still be California, waiting for his call." Skills argued.

"Skills-"

"Just give this a couple of days. Just one. Go to Jamie's birthday party for me. If you don't think you have a chance, then you can go but you have to let this work." Skills begged Lindsay. Lindsay thought for a second, she could give this a chance.

"Okay, what do we do first?" Lindsay asked him. Skills walked over to the dining room table and laid out some papers. He wrote many ways that they could win Lucas' heart.

"First, we have to be fashionably late for Jamie's birthday party." Skills smiled, going day by day.

"Are you sure this is good idea?" Lindsay stopped him from saying anything else. She was having doubts about the plan. It seemed like the silliest thing to do.

"Do you believe that Lucas is one for you?" Skills asked the most obvious question. Lindsay looked up for a moment, she remembered all the amazing moments that they shared. She remembered how he was always there for her when no one else was.

"Yes." She asked with a smile.

"See, you guys are made for each other. Don't doubt that." Skills looked back down at the papers. Lindsay sat on the table, she was sure about.

"You know, I thought I was going to be alone. Thanks." Lindsay thanked him, welcoming his friendship.

"It's no problem. I would want someone to do the same-and you can stay here for a while…until you find the perfect home for you and Lucas." Skills laughed.

"So, Haley and Peyton." Lindsay nodded, to think that Peyton was going to be her friend. She didn't know why Peyton was here but she could take a guess. Peyton had called her to come to Tree Hill with her, saying that something was happening with Lucas. "So, there is nothing wrong with Lucas?" Lindsay asked him. Skills looked up, confused at what she was saying.

"There was never anything wrong with him. He was okay. I think Peyton just lied to you…" Skills shrugged his shoulders.

"Right." Lindsay crossed her arms. "Peyton is going down."
