Lucas had finally made his way to the dorm, he spent most of his day with his mom hanging out and catching up, but after spending so long on a plane all he really wanted to do was sleep. He looked at the paper saying he was in dorm room 6 and just Lucas's luck it was on the top floor. He grabbed most his bags and made his way up the stairs.
"Oh sorry." A cute blonde smiled knocking into Lucas causing him to drop one of his bags.
"Oh no all my fault." He smiled.
"Yeah well I'm Ashley Jackson." She smiled sticking out his hand.
"Oh yeah I'm Lucas…Lucas Scott." He smiled taking her hand.
"Well nice to meet you Lucas Scott."
"You too, Ashley Jackson."
"Oh well sorry for running into you, actually I'm not really sorry, but I'll see you later." She winked walking away.
"Later." Lucas smiled as the bouncing blonde skipped off. "Maybe this won't be so bad after all," he smirked as he walked up the stairs, he finally made his way to his dorm.
He stood there not really sure if he should knock or not, I mean it was his room but still, so to be safe he knocked.
"Come in" he heard from the other side as he opened it.
"Umm…hey I'm Lucas your new roommate." He said awkwardly to the guy lying on his bed reading some sports magazine.
"Oh hey man what's up I'm Jeff." The blonde said getting of his bed sticking out his hand.
"Hey what's up?" Lucas said taking it.
"Nothing really just being bored, but yeah well just through your stuff where ever, you can have that bed since well this one is mine." He laughed falling down on the bed a few feet away.
Lucas laughed as he walked over to his bed.
"So where you from?" Jeff asked trying to make conversation.
"Oh Tree Hill."
"Tree Hill like North Carolina?"
"Yeah unless there is another Tree Hill I don't know about." Lucas laughed.
"Yeah so you're Lucas Scott as from Tree Hill, as big basketball star, Nathan Scott's brother?" Jeff asked sitting up on his bed.
"Umm…yeah that would be me sorry I didn't ask for your back ground check." Lucas laughed dryly a little confused as he knew so much about him.
"Yeah that probably sounded weird but my girlfriend is actually from Tree Hill, I think you know her."
"Oh really who?" Lucas asked nervously praying to god the next words out of this guy's mouth weren't Brooke Davis.
"Rachel Gatina."
"Wait Rachel Gatina as in hot red head with feisty attitude I don't date I only screw Gatina." Lucas asked a little surprised.
"That would be the one but now she dates me." Jeff laughed "we meet at a party at the beginning of school, her roommate is one of my best friends and one of her friends I guess but it was suppose to be I guess a onetime hook up but then one time became lots of times then I just kind of started to like her and well now I date her." Jeff shrugged.
"Wow never thought Rach would settle down."
"Yeah everyone says that," Jeff laughed "But hey when it's right its right you know."
"Yeah I guess you're right." Lucas sighed as he thought of Brooke, he missed her he really did, some days he almost gave in and called her but he couldn't his pride wouldn't let him and then the thought of her with someone else made him sick. She was his forever and always and he didn't want someone else touching her or kissing her, he was suppose to be the only guy who did that, but he wasn't anymore they have been broken up for more than 7 months and haven't talked in 6 and a half.
She called him one night and he wasn't even sure why the talk was awkward they never had an awkward talk, it was kind of a hello how have you been, good you? Good…bye; hang up talk, and they haven't spoken since, not that he didn't want to because even after 7 months he still loved her.
"So what you doing today?" Jeff asked pulling Lucas out of his thought.
"Umm.. Nothing I have to unpack but that will take all off 10 minutes then I am free for whatever." Lucas shrugged as he started to put his clothes in his dresser.
"Well I know it's lame but I have a baseball game in about an hour or so, I don't know if you like baseball or not but my friends will be there and you can see Rachel." Jeff said trying to make his new roommate feel welcome.
"Yeah man that sounds cool." Lucas said though he played basketball he loved baseball almost as much, he would watch the games all the time with Nathan and their friends, and if he made new friends in the processes he was all for it.
"Ok cool well let's get you unpacked." Jeff said jumping off the bed and grabbing the rest of Lucas's bags from outside the hall in the room.
Brooke, Rachel, Ash, and Jennifer were waiting around for the baseball game to start; Brooke loved baseball even though the other three girls weren't for it. Truth was she really wasn't for it until Lucas, him and Nathan would watch baseball games almost as much as basketball games and her and Haley would always get stuck watching it with them, but Brooke didn't mind because soon she started to really like the game, she thought the guys in their tight uniforms were totally hot.
"Ok I am bored." Ash complained as the waited around for the game, most the guys weren't even there yet.
"Just relax the game will start soon, and plus my baby is playing tonight." Rachel grinned as she thought of her boyfriend. She was so in love with him it was almost as sick as how Brooke and Lucas were in high school. They had been together only for about 3 months now but they were hooking up long before they dated and Rachel couldn't help but love him.
"I know Rach but still I'm bored and I have to pee." Ash said bouncing from one foot to the other, "Brookie come with me please."
"Ugh come one my fake blonde Goldilocks." Brooke laughed rolling her eyes playfully and wrapping her arm around her friend's waist and walking away. "Oh Rach if the game starts before I get back tell my best friend good luck." Brooke yelled as Rachel just smiled and nodded.
"Dude I can't believe you didn't know." Jeff laughed as Lucas told him the story of his brother and best friend.
"I know I felt so dumb them being together that long and not even knowing it, but I guess I thought he was a whore and she was my best friend so I never put them together."
"Oh I would never let any of my friend or brother near my best friend, she seems a lot like Haley, and you know guy seem to say she is pretty hot maybe I can hook it up, well not hook it up but introduce ya'll." Jeff laughed as him and Lucas walked into the park and he spotted his girlfriend. "Rach!" he called before Lucas could answer.
"Looks like your lover is here." Jennifer smirked as Rachel turn to the direction her friend was pointing "and who is that hottie by his side?" Jennifer asked biting her bottom lips.
"There is no way in hell that is who I think it is." Rachel said as she started to make her way over to her boyfriend. Growing nervous as she did hoping to god she could get to Brooke before, she saw him.
"Rachel Gatina." Lucas smiled as he pulled her into a hug, Rachel was happy to see Lucas, after he started to date Brooke he stopped being an ass and they became pretty close but she was nervous for her best friend.
"Lucas god what you doing here?" Rachel asked as they pulled out of the hug.
"Luke here is my new roommate." Jeff grinned getting a weird look from Rachel. Ok truth was Jeff knew exactly who Lucas was, and he knew his best friend was still completely in love with him even though she broke up with him; he still remembers the night she came over after her trip to Tree Hill like it was yesterday.
***Flashback***
"Brookie what's wrong?" Jeff asked opening his door to a very upset Brooke. Her makeup was smudged and tear were still streaming down her face.
"I just got home from Tree Hill." Was all she said as she walked into his room and sat on his bed.
"Ok what happened?" Jeff asked taking a seat next to his best friend.
"We broke up." She sobbed as she fell into Jeff crying "I didn't want to but I know it's for the best he needs a girlfriend who is there for him not on the other side of the country." She cried.
"Oh Brooke, I'm sorry. Shhh you're going to be ok." Jeff tried his best to console his best friend but he wasn't sure how to, he never had a broken heart, he never been in love, hell he wasn't even a girl so he wasn't sure what he was suppose to say.
"I love him so much Jeff."
"I know you do…Shhh its going to be ok…everything is going to be ok."
***Flashback over***
It killed him to see Brooke like that and if Lucas being here helped her then he was going to do his best to do it.
"Well I am glad to see you, why don't you go with Jeff and meet out friends and the team I am going to go pee." Rachel said walking off to go find Brooke.
"Who is the hottie you seem too know?" Jennifer asked as Rachel sped past her ignoring her question and grabbing her arm. "Rach where we going?"
"We need to find Brooke." Rachel snapped not meaning to just needing to find her best friend.
"Ok why? She went pee I think she will be ok?" Jennifer said confused to why the red head was acting so weird.
"I just need… I just need to find her so help me." Rachel said no one knew that much about Lucas and Brooke, other than her and Jeff. Yeah they knew Brooke had an ex but they knew not to talk about him to her or ask question because it just upset her and if you upset Brooke, Rachel would get pissed and nobody wants to deal with a pissed off Rachel.
"Hey guys." Jeff said as he walked up to the team, "This is Lucas, he is my new roommate."
"Hey I am Josh." A tall dark headed guy said reaching out his hand.
"Hey man what's up." Lucas said talking it.
"Not much just waiting for the game to start." Josh answered "Hey Jeff you see my girl, she was with Rach earlier but now I have no clue."
"Oh yeah Rachel ran off and dragged her off with her you know how girls are I'm sure she will be her in a few minutes."
"Yeah, so Lucas where you from?" Josh asked trying to make conversation.
"Umm… Tree Hill."
"Oh like Rachel and…"
"Yup just like Rach." Jeff interrupted not wanting Lucas to know about Brooke yet, he figured Rachel ran off to find her so he would just let her tell Brooke before Lucas found out. "Lucas and Rach were actually pretty good friends in high school."
"Oh" a few guys said with a laugh all knowing all too well about Rachel's reputation.
"Ha ha not like that." Jeff said defending his girlfriend "Right?" he asked Lucas hoping this guy hadn't had sex with his girlfriend.
"Oh no man we never had sex made out a few times but never had sex." Lucas laughed as clearly Rachel's reputation was the same everywhere.
"Ok good making out I can handle but the thought of us hanging out and knowing you two had sex well that just weird's me out."
"No don't worry me and Rachel didn't really talk much until or senior year, and well by then..." Lucas paused trying to find the right words, "Well I was seeing someone." Lucas sighed as again his thoughts went back to Brooke.
"Yeah then you and I will be alright." Jeff laughed smacking Lucas on the back as Lucas just laughed.
"Brooke god there you are I thought you freaking fell in or something." A frantic Rachel said as she saw her best friend.
"Sorry Ash and I got hungry, but why are you freaking out so much? What's with you?" Brooke asked clearly seeing her best friend a little more than nervous.
"You look great, but here let me fix this." Rachel said ignoring Brooke's question and brushing her hands through Brooke's hair "Your shirt is cute but why don't we pull it in the back some." Rachel said as she pulled her hair bow off her wrist and rolled Brooke's baseball jersey (Brooke and Rachel made jerseys, with Jeff's last name on them and made Jennifer one with Josh's last name and Ash one too with her last name since she dated so muc)up some so that it showed some skin but not much but tighten.
"Rach what is going on?" Brooke asked again.
"Umm…" Rachel said looking over at her boyfriend and then back at Brooke "Someone is here." Rachel explained nervously as she bit her thumb nail.
"Rach it's a ballpark there are lots of people here." Brooke smirked.
"Ok don't be a smart ass; someone is here like someone I don't think you want to see." Rachel said nervously.
"Like who?" Brooke asked completely confused as Rachel just turned and looked at the group of guys laughing and Brooke followed her gaze.
Brooke's smile faded, her breath caught in her throat and she was almost positive for a few minutes her heart stopped completely, the person who had been invading her thoughts all these months and had been in her dreams was just a few feet away, he was right there talking to her best friend and his team.
"Lucas?"
