Ok so just some background info, its not really placed anywhere in particular, just Lucas Brooke and Nathan are all friends, with Haley and peyton too, and Brad is BRooke's boyfriend but not for long you'll see and umm they are two weeks away from finishing senior year. this is a brucas and Brathan fic i'm not sure which one yet but a little of both, please tell me what you think it should me that could sway my desciction. I'll probably update every other day or so
Brooke sat in English class, drawing on her notebook, there was only two weeks left in her senior year, in her whole high school career for that matter and Mr. Roberts just had to assign one last project, and as if that didn't suck enough he got to choose the partners, so no chance in hell was she going to be working with her beloved boyfriend Brad. Oh no she would probably end up being with some one like…
"Lucas Scott and Brooke Davis." Mr. Roberts yelled out. "You will do your English topic on any romantic couple in the book of your choice that we have read this year."
Hmm Lucas Scott wasn't as bad as who she thought she would be getting, plus he was like super smart so that was always a plus.
"Brad, you're with Theresa Owens."
Great, Brooke thought, instead of some dorky girl that didn't stand a chance with he had to get a cheerleading slut… ok so she wasn't a slut Brooke happened to kind of be friends with her, but for the purpose of the thought train in her mind she was going to use that as another example of why life sucked when Mr. Roberts was your 12th grade English teacher. She was planning on writing a novel about it.
"That will be all class." Mr. Roberts said taking his reading glasses off and slowly sitting down in his big arched wooded teacher's chair.
Brooke started to put her books in her bag when Lucas walked over to her desk.
"Hey." He said leaning down towards her.
"Hello partner." She said standing up after she put her last book in her bag.
"When and where would you like to meet?" he asked her, brad was noticing Lucas smiling at Brooke so he decided to go over and break them up before Lucas could continue with his so called innocent flirting with Brooke. He walked over and put his arm around Brooke kissing her on the cheek.
"Hey babe what's up?" he asked her.
"Oh nothing Lucas and I were just talking about meeting for the project." Brooke said reaching her hand up to hold his that was on her shoulder.
"Oh, hey Lucas she'll call you." Brad said. "Come on Brooke lets go." He pulled her off and out towards the door. Once they got into the hallways Brooke unlatch herself from Brad.
"What was that all about?" she asked him, not with a too serious tone of voice though.
"Nothing, I'm just looking out for my girl." He stepped up to her and put his hands on her shoulder.
"Someone's turning green." Brooke said.
"Oh, no I'm not." He said slipping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug.
"Don't worry about it." He said.
"Well as long as you don't cheat on me with Theresa I won't cheat on you with Lucas."
Brooke said.
"It's a deal." He said taking her chin up and kissing her.
"Hey little brother." Lucas said. Nathan was sitting down at a picnic table flipping through the latest edition of ESPN.
"Little brother? Since when have you called me that?" Nathan asked him. Lucas and him had gotten closer since they met: sure, but "little brother?" that was odd.
"Oh just thought I'd… I don't know try it out."
"Yeah well it doesn't really work if you know what I mean." Nathan said.
"Yeah I do, so anyways who are you partners with for that English project?" Lucas asked him.
"No one, Mrs. Leaf doesn't do that project."
"Well I would say you're lucky but um I'm partnered with Brooke."
"You know Brad would kick your ass if he found out you liked her." Nathan said, knowing this only because Brad was kind of protective and Nathan was doing his best to hide the fact that he also liked Brooke.
"Yeah." Lucas let out a little laugh "look, I mean he won't find out as long as they're dating."
"Right." Nathan said trying to focus all of his attention on the magazine. Lucas looked away from the table when he heard the clicking of heels against the concrete, sure enough there was Brooke Davis. She walked over to the two boys and sat down next to Nathan.
"Hi Nathan, Lucas." She said smiling equally at both of them.
"Hey Brooke." Nathan said, looking away from his magazine for a second to say hi before looking back down at it again.
"Hi." Lucas said.
"So, Lucas when shall we meet to pick our favorite star crossed lovers." Brooke asked him adding in hand motions for drama.
"Anytime that works for you." He said,
"After school we'll meet at my house." Brooke said.
"You're so demanding." Nathan said in a joking type of way.
"He asked." Brooke said.
"I know." Nathan said.
"Whatever, does that work with you?" she asked him.
"Yeah, its fine." He said.
"Good, see you then." She got up from the table "bye boys." She said slightly waving and skipping off to what they both assumed to be Brad.
Lucas and Nathan both sat in silence for a little while.
"I'm done with this, you want to read it?" Nathan asked him.
"No, that's ok."
"I'm going to go, see you later." Nathan said.
"Bye." Lucas said.
Lucas walked up to Brooke's door and was about to knock on it when Brooke answered opened it.
"Hey." She said excitedly.
"You some sort of psychic?" he asked her, referring to the fact that she had opened the door before he had even knocked.
"Oh, that, yeah I saw you coming in from my window upstairs."
"You been watching me?"
"No, just looking out the window." She said, like he was kind of crazy and she was the normal one. "Come in." she said standing back as he came in and she shut the door behind him.
"Ok so I'll be watching TV in the back room, you can do the project right there." Brooke said starting to walk away. "I'm just kidding." She said when she saw the serious look on his face.
"We can sit right here." Brooke said jumping onto the couch, Lucas hesitated for a moment.
"I don't have cooties Lucas." Brooke said.
"No, that's not… never mind." He said sitting down next to her.
"You're so broody Lucas." She said.
"What?"
"You're like always brooding, do you ever smile?" she asked him.
"Of course I smile." He said.
"Could've fooled me." She said.
Lucas smiled an extra big cheesy smile for Brooke "you happy?"
"Yes, ecstatic." She said and both of them laughed, but all that good fun came to an end when there was another knock at the door.
"I knew that was coming." Brooke said, getting up.
"Of course you did."
"Be right back, broody." She said. She opened the door and Brad was there, he immediately kissed her and then walked inside like he owned the place.
"Hi brad." Lucas said.
"What's he doing here?" Brad asked turning to Brooke and ignoring Lucas.
"We were working on the English project." Brooke said.
"Well can you work on that later; I kind of need to talk to you." Brad said.
"We could but…"
"No Brooke its ok, we can do it tomorrow in study hall." Lucas said getting up quickly and grabbing his backpack.
"Ok, that's fine I guess." Brooke said. "Bye, Lucas."
"Bye." Lucas said, really to Brooke but he made it seem like it was to both of them. As soon as Lucas got out of the door Brad pulled Brooke to him and kissed. The kiss deepened when Lucas knocked on the door and walked in again, Brooke pulled away from Brad right away.
"I, uh, I forgot my book." Lucas said.
"Well get it and go." Brad said.
"brad." Brooke said under her breath "its fine." Brooke said.
"Bye again." Lucas said after he grabbed his Brooke. This time after he walked out of the door Brad said "he likes you."
"Who Lucas? Yeah right, I think he hates me." Brooke said.
"Whatever, you've got me." Brad said pulling her back into a kiss, he started to move them towards the couch and he got on top of her on the couch and started to take her shirt off.
"No, brad, stop." Brooke said putting her hand down to stop him.
"Oh should we go to your room?"
"No, I just I don't want to right now." Brooke said.
"Why? It's not like we haven't before."
"I just don't feel like it right now, I've got a bunch of homework, and…"
"You're turning down sex for homework?"
"It's not the end of the world." She said getting out from underneath him.
"Are you ok Brooke?"
"Yes, god just because I don't want to have sex with you doesn't mean I'm like deathly sick or something."
"Alright well you want to go get something to eat?"
"I have to do homework remember?"
"Oh yeah, alright well I'll see you tomorrow babe." He said kissing her quickly before leaving.
Brad decided to head over to Theresa's house to get started on their project. When he got there Theresa didn't even have any of her books.
"Yeah sorry, they're all in my locker." She said.
"Oh, uh that's ok; we can just work on it another time." He said getting ready to leave.
"Brad, you don't have to go." Theresa said "we can hang out or something." She said seductively walking over to him and placing a hand on his chest.
He thought about this for a minute. "Or something." He said taking her hand and pulling her closer to him as they kissed, the kisses got more and more intense, to where both of them had their shirts off and were getting ready to go farther.
"There's no turning back now." Theresa said.
"I know, but you can't tell Brooke." He said.
"I understand, Brooke won't give you what you want and I will." She said.
"Brooke is what I want."
"Whatever, not sexually though."
"Not always." He said "you understand I'm not breaking up with Brooke for this." He said.
"Sure just take your pants off and lets get to it." She said.
