The sun was causing Brooke to stir in her sleep. Her head was pounding from the night before. She knew she shouldn't have went to that party last night but she was Queen bee she had to attend. She had to get up for school but judging for the sun light through the windows she was already way late. Why must teens have so much parties on school nights? As she tried to hide her eyes from the sun sneaking around the curtians, there was loud knocking at the front door of the apartment.
"Go away!" she moaned grabbing the nearest pillow to cover her pounding head.
The banging continued tho she tried her best to ignore it. Why can't she just be left alone for the day? After a couple more long loud bangs Brooke jumped up from her bed charging towards the front door. Who ever it was she was out for blood. She grabbed the door yanking it open coming face to face with Haley James. Haley still had her hand up in the knocking position.
"Did i wake you?" Haley asked putting her arm back at her side.
Brooke motioned towards her messy hair and pajamas. "You think".
Haley gave her a smile before pushing past her into the house. Brooke didn't smile as she shut the door after Haley. She crossed her arms over her chest looking at Haley who was know sitting at the kitchen bar.
"Why are you here so early?" Brooke asked still not moving from her spot by the door. She hated when Haley would always show up early.
"Thought we could ride to school together, you are going to school, aren't you?" Haley looked over Brooke's outfit guessing she wasn't going to attend.
Brooke hadn't planned on going to school. Her head was pounding and she felt as if she would throw up everything. Attending school while having a hangover was not a good combo. Plus she didn't want people telling her things she did that she can no longer remember. They would tell her she hooked up with some guy and make her out to be a whore, she just didn't want to go deal with her "friends". It's always like this, can't remember the night before, being told what she did and didn't do. Yet she hadn't gotten sick of it yet. Now that she thinks of it, she couldn't remember a single thing lastnight. She wondered how she gotten home, and wasn't laying in a strangers bed naked. Turning her attention back to Haley who was still waiting for her answer, she shrugged. "I don't think I am".
Haley rolled her eyes then walked over to the door going to leave. She turned to face Brooke with a smile. "I'll just tell Mr. Hughes, that you don't need that extra credit test he's giving out today." Haley knew Brooke needed that extra credit to graduate in seven months. Brooke through her hands up in a huff then charged to her room. "That's what I thought. I'll be waiting outside in the car." Haley yelled at Brooke before leaving out the door. Brooke looked at the clock as she ended her bedroom. She had only twenty minutes to get dressed and make it to school. Quickly she jumped into the shower washing the night before off her skin. After getting out of the shower she got dressed in some white skinny jeans, a strapless yellow top, and white stillo heels. She didn't do anything with her hair just let it air dry into waves down her back. As for her make up she decided on some light powder and blush. Not caring about anything else she headed down to meet Haley with her backpack on her shoulder. She locked her door then headed down stairs to find Haley sitting in the car waiting for Brooke. Haley waved Brooke to hurry up causing Brooke to roll her eyes but quicken her pace. Sligging the door opened, Brooke got in slamming it behind her.
"About time." Haley sighed putting the car in reserve and backing out of the driveway. Brooke loved Haley but sometimes she just wanted to ring her neck. Unlike Brooke, Haley loved school something else that drove Brooke crazy.
"So what did you do lastnight?" Haley asked looking at Brooke.
"Not sure, went to a party, then, well that's all i remember" Brooke answered trying not to sound grouchy. But it did. She couldn't help it, her head was pounding and the nausua was becoming unbarable. At any moment she felt as if she would have to throw up all over Haley's floor board.
"Well now i see why you're being so snappy. There's some aspirsin in my purse if you need it" she said turning her attention back to the road. Brooke bent down to the purse, waiting for Haley to give her the speech about her drinking to much. Brooke took the aspirin without any water and waited. She heard Haley let out a sigh.
"Go a head say what's on your mind!" Brooke ordered looking out of the cars window. She trying her best to fight off the nausua.
"I don't know what you mean." Haley pointed out as they pulled into the parking lot of the high school.
"You didn't have to. I know you well enough to know how much me drinking bothers you. I know it's not right but it's fun. I'm a big girl Haley I can take care of myself." Brooke stated as she unbuckled her seatbelt ready to get out of this car.
Haley parked the car and turned to Brooke. "How do you know it's fun if you don't remember any of it? And I know you can take care of yourself, I just worry about you sometimes."
Brooke opened her door getting out of the car. "I know Haley. But I will be fine, come on we're going to be late, and i know you hate being late" Brooke teased smiling at her friend. Haley smiled at her before climbing out behind her. Ever since Haley and Nathan had divorced this passing summer, all Haley's worry had been pointed to Brooke or Lucas. Sometimes it would drive Brooke mad, but she loved how she actually had somebody who gave a damn about her. Brooke locked arms with Haley as they walked across the courtyard of Tree Hill High. They had only been back to school a year yet alot has changed. Not only has Haley and Brooke became closer so had Lucas and Nathan. Those two Scott boys are always together. For once they were actually brothers. Haley and Nathan are still friends their marriage didn't put a bump into their friendship. The whole Chris Keller Tour was gone and over, as was their marriage. Brooke and Lucas well that was another story. They were friends, but Brooke knew he wanted more. She wanted to stay about from that drama since Peyton was around alot these days. Her and Haley walked into the halls making their ways to towards Brooke's locker.
"I'll meet you in English, I have to go grab my history book." Haley told Brooke before disappearing into the crowd. Brooke unlocked her locker then traded her backpack for her English binder and book. She secretly hoped they had a sub so she could sleep alittle more in class.
She felt to hands go up her sides then back down landing on her hips.
"Guess who?" A voice whispered in her ear. She didn't have to guess to know that voice.
She turned around and smiled up at him. He was wearing a gorgeous grin looking down at her with her blue eyes. "Lucas Scott remove your hands from my hips" She said in a husky voice. She placed her hand on his chest softly pushing him away. He removed his hands from her hips but kept smiling. Something about the smile made Brooke think he was up to something. She kinked her eyebrow at him, "What are you up to Scott?"
"I'm not up to anything, What makes you think I'm up to something?" Lucas asked as he placed his hand over his heart as if he was offended. She let out a little laugh before turning to close her locker.
"Because you have that smile on your face. It's the 'I'm up to something'smile" Brooke mocked as she started to class with Lucas beside her.
"Oh well, you'll just gave to wait and see." he winked before walking in the opposite direction. She looked back at him smiling at herself before shaking her head and continuing onto class.
She took her usual seat infront of Nathan and behind Haley. The class was missing at least five students, but surely they were at home sleeping off their hangovers. As class went off Brooke felt the nausea in her stomach grow. She laid her head down on her desk trying to keep it down. She hadn;t eaten this morning so she had nothing in her stomach to throw up. Maybe it was that she didn't eat that was making her sick like this. She felt something poke her in the back.
"You okay there, Davis?" Nathan asked in a whisper from behind her.
She nodded her head without picking her head up from the desk. Something felt different about this nausea. Before she knew it she was about to throw up. With out the teacher permission she took off towards the bathroom holding her hand to her mouth. She threw up everything that was felt in her stomach before heading back to class to find the teacher glaring at her. She explained to him about getting sick and he understood asking her to take her seat. She had washed her mouth out with water but was in desperate need for some gum or a mint. When the teachers back was towards her she turned around to face the dark haired Scott.
"Hey do you have any gum or a mint?" Brooke asked him. He nodded before digging into his pocket. He handed her a piece of Spearment gum.
"thank you" she whispered he nodded and turned his attention back to the teacher. She turned back around in her seat putting the piece of gum in her mouth. As she sat there she was just hoping the nausea would not come back.
It was time for lunch already and Brooke had only gotten sick three more times after English. Haley met her at the table with her tray in hand. Brooke was just pushing her food around her plate not wanting to eat anything.
"Hey, How you feeling?" Haley asked sitting down across the table from her.
"I want to go home and sleep. I feel awful, I am no longer drinking" she pouted not looking up from her plate at Haley.
"Liar. Maybe you should go home." Haley suggested opening her water bottle.
"I can't remember, extra credit." Brooke whined finally looking up from her plate. She was hungry but not hungry enough to eat. If she ate she would just be on her knees in the bathroom later.
"Right Forgot." Haley said taking a bite of her sandwich. Brooke rolled her eyes as Nathan sat down beside her. He placed two gatorades infront of them pushing one closer to Brooke.
"Got you something that will keep you hydrated." he said to Brooke looking over her face.
"Thank You, again." Brooke said twisting the top of the orange gatorade and taking two huge gulps of it.
"How you feeling any better?" He asked looking from Brooke to Haley. Brooke shook her head no then sat the bottle down in front of her.
"I told her she could go home but she still has that extra credit assignment" Haley shrugged taking another bite of her sandwich. Just watching somebody eat made Brooke's stomach flop. She had to keep her eyes focused something other then people eating around her. The best thing was if she just left. Grabbing her tray she stood up from the table.
"Actually I think I'm going to the nurse, I'll see you two in chemistry" she said before leaving the table.
