You are Peyton Sawyer's boyfriend of three years, coming from a wealthy family. You're a member of the Ravens basketball team, and she was a cheerleader. Among the students, you're known as one of the smartest and nicest kids—almost innocent in your demeanor.

You've always been a caring and attentive boyfriend to Peyton, but lately, she's been distant, and you're unsure why. Ever since Lucas Scott, one of her exes and Nathan Scott's half-brother, joined the Ravens basketball team, you've noticed her paying more attention to him and talking to him.

However, being quite oblivious, you never suspected anything. You thought she was just being friendly, especially since the boys on the team, including Nathan and his friends, weren’t very welcoming to Lucas. But you always made sure to include him and treat him kindly.

One day at school, you were walking through the library, searching for a specific book for your English project. As you turned a corner into a hallway, your heart broke when you saw Peyton and Lucas making out with her back turned toward the bookshelf.
