"Peyton Sawyer." She told the school secretary a half hour later as she waited for the stuff she would need to start the day.

"Nice to meet you Peyton. Here's your class schedule and locker combination." The secretary told her.

"Thanks." She replied wanting to get this over and start her day.

"Oh, its first hour." She was told as she turned to leave. She nodded and left the office. Once she found her locker she went to her first class.

"You will be expected-" A bald man was saying as she walked in. "Are you Peyton Sawyer?" He asked clearly upset about being interrupted.

"Yeah." She told him looking around the room. It was a little clustered but still big enough to hold thirty people.

"Do you have a reason for being late?" he asked her sharply.

"I'm new." She replied simply. Most teachers let the news kids have some slack. Apparently he was not one of them.

"So does that make you an exception to the rule?" He asked and her thoughts were confirmed.

"Actually, yeah it does." She answered sarcastically not liking how he was talking to her. She had a problem with authority figures and she couldn't help but backtalk when they acted that way towards her. "Well Peyton, you just got the first detention of the year." He said. "Sit next to Lucas." He added writing her name down. She rolled her eyes and sat in the only empty seat next to the one and only boy next door. She was starting to think she was cursed.

"You really know how to start the school year don't you?" Lucas asked her smiling.

"Yeah I guess I do." She answered shortly. She was still upset about his comment from the bus.

"Why are you mad at me?" He asked catching her off guard. Most people just excepted the fact she treated them like shit and left her alone.

"I don't know. Maybe because you are on Bruce's side." She replied before she could stop herself.

"What are you talking about? I didn't know I was on someone's side." He told her staring into her hazel eyes as if he was searching for answers.

"You're not. I'm just not a morning person and I tend to be crabby." She said forcing a smile. "What's baldies name?" She asked changing the subject quickly and hoping for once he would get the hint and drop the topic.

"Mr. Fray." He told her laughing a little and she relaxed instantly. His laugh was cute and so was his smile. Not that she liked him. She was just pointing out the obvious.

"I don't like him." She told him wrinkling her nose a little and smiling a genuine smile.

"You know, your whole face lights up when you really smile. You should do it more often." He said staring into her eyes once more and she blushed a little taken by surprise at his forwardness.

"Peyton Sawyer. Do you like detention?" Mr. Fray asked her and she looked at him startled. She didn't realize he was standing next to her desk.

"I love detention. But what I love more is pissing you off." She snapped and then groaned realizing what she said. She was going to have alot of explaining to do to her mom that was for sure.

"Well, you just got detention for a whole month and a day in ISS. Oh and today Mr. Scott will join you." He told her as he gave both of them a smirk.

"Thank you, I'll enjoy the company." She told him getting her stuff and standing up. She felt a little bad for getting Lucas in trouble but then again, she didn't since he had started the conversation.

"Off." Mr. Fray said as he pointed to the door and she let out a giggle at his attempt to be a bad ass teacher. She gave one last look to Lucas and then walked out of the room to start her day in ISS.

This is crazt, this whole damn town sucks, Peyton, thought to herself as she sat in the small room in a desk and looked at the teacher who was sitting in another desk "monitoring" her behavior. She was bored beyond belief and was going to kill if she didn't get out of the room that should have been a closet soon.

She glanced at the clock and almost screamed as she realized it was only noon and she would be stuck in there for another two hours. Then after the two hours from hell she would have to go sit in another room with Mr. Fray for another hour. The only good thing about that was she would be around Lucas.

Just thinking of Lucas made her smile. Of course once she realized what she was doing she forced the smile off her face and turned her thoughts to something that would not bring him into her mind. She didn't like him, he was the annoying boy next door who never left her alone and was way to curious for his own good. If she didn't like him though why was she still thinking of him?

"Yo Luke have you seen the new girl yet?" Lucas heard his best friend, Skill's, call and he turned around to see him running towards him.

"Yeah, why?" Lucas asked as Skill's caught up to him panting for breath. "Did you run all the way over here?" He asked grinning. Skill's locker was all the way across the building from Lucas's.

"Yeah man I had to know if the rumor was true. about the new blonde girl " Skill's answered. Lucas wondered what the rumor was.

"So whats the rumor?" He asked realizing Skill's was waiting for him to ask.

"First off, I heard she was a hottie, second I heard she already pissed off a teacher and got herself and some guy detention." Skills answered and Lucas laughed. Some rumor, it was all true.

"She did get detention and I'm the guy she got it with." He said and Skills stared at him.

"You? You never get in trouble. How did that happen?" He asked and Lucas laughed again.

"We were talking and Mr. Fray sapped, you know how he is, and gave us both detention. It's worse for her though. She has ISS and a months worth of it." He answered as they reached their last class of the day.

"Wow, so what about the first part of the rumor?" Skills asked as they sat in their desks.

"What do you mean?" Lucas asked back.

"Is she hot?" Skills answered and Lucas smiled as he thought of her smile and how her eyes sparkled when she laughed.

"I'd love to answer you but class is starting so I can't." Lucas told him grinning, he then turn around leave skills standing there, Just thinking of her tough girl attitude made him smile. She wanted everyone to think she could kick their ass but he could tell she was just scared to open up and let people see her real self. That deep down she was vulnerable and afraid of getting hurt. He wanted to be the one to break her walls down.

Skills watch him walk away "oh she hot, " he said, with a shake of his head

" hey man'" Nathan said, as he stop next to Skills, " what are you looking at"

" your brother, I think he got a crush, on the new girl," Skill's said, laughing

" oh, is she hot, " Nathan asked,

" yeah, she is asks Luke, his face Light's up" Skills said, still laugh ," come on man, we are going to late.


"God Dammit!" Peyton exclaimed angrily as she kicked her locker and tried for the fifth time to get it open. She heard someone laughing next to her and she looked over, ready to kill them, and found Lucas leaning against the locker next to hers.

"You need help?" He asked grinning at her.

"No!" She answered as she finished the combination and tried to pull the lock off with no luck.

"Are you sure? Cause I have a pretty good idea as to why it's not opening." He told her still grinning as he watched her.

"Ok then genius, why is it not opening?" She asked glaring at him.

"Because that's my locker not yours." He answered and she stared at him. What the hell was his problem, the locker she was at was number 322 and her locker number was 333...

"You knew that this whole time and you still let me try to open it?" She asked as she moved over one and tried the combination. Amazingly enough, it worked!

"You wouldn't let me help you remember." He answered as he opened it and grabbed his backpack out of it and flashed a smile at her.

"Good luck in detention Luke," someone Peyton didn't recognize said and she turned to find a boy standing behind her.

"Thanks Nath, but it's not like I need any. It's just detention." Lucas told him rolling his eyes and laughing a little.

"Well you never know. Hi I'm Nathan, Lucas, young brother." The boy said as he noticed Peyton standing there. Lucas looked at her waiting for her to snap at Nathan for something since that was her usual response to meeting people but to his surprise she smiled.

"I'm Peyton," she told him grabbing her bag and shutting her locker then extending her hand for him to shake. She had known by the look on Lucas's face he was waiting for her to be rude so just for fun she was being super nice. Besides, Nathan seemed like a nice guy.

"Well we better go, don't wank to get Mr. Fray more pissed than he is. See ya Nath." Lucas said as he stared at the two of them. He didn't know why, but he didn't like the way Peyton was looking at Nath. It was friendly and a look Lucas wanted directed at him.

"Nice meeting you," Peyton told Nathan as she flashed him a smile and followed Lucas down the hallway to detention.
