"Why are you even here?" I asked walking over to the belchers and sitting down
"I had practice. Why are you here?" He asked throwing the ball in the net then turning towards me from the middle of the gym.
"I had practice to" I moved my hands down my body to signal the obvious "I don't exactly wear this sorta thing to school only practice"
"Yeah well whatever" He responded looking away from me.
I was locked in the school with Nathan Scott and since the rest of the school was boring I decided to stay in the gym until we could get out of there. I've called my bestfriend Haley to get someone to open up the door, but I was just waiting for them to arrive. I'm not exactly happy stuck here with Nathan Scott. I got out my phone and decided to check facebook. That's when I saw it, the one thing I wish never happened, but was now true in front of the whole world. The one thing that tore me apart for weeks, days, minutes and seconds. There in black ink Lucas Scott is in a relationship with Peyton Sawyer. I felt sick, tears began to form in my eyes, but I fought them back for the sake of Nathan being in the gym with me. I then felt his eyes on me, I looked up and he too had his phone in his hands. I saw no emotion on his face, he looked like everything had been drained from him.
"So it's official then" Nathan muttered loud enough for me to hear him.
I looked back up at him and saw him start to walk towards me, when he reached me I nodded "Looks like it" I sniffled, not wanting to cry especially not in front of Nathan.
"How could they do this to us? I mean yeah I was a total ass to her, but I never cheated on her, not once" Nathan sat on the bleacher one down from me "I knew for a while Brooke. I know she was in love with him"
I looked at him shocked "You did" I whispered as I felt a tear escape my eyes.
He nodded then looked up at me and for the first time in years I saw Nathan royal Scott show his emotions "I did"
"So did I" I admitted "From the moment he became a somebody, I knew"
"Now everyone knows" Nathan put his phone up and signalled to it.
"Yep I guess they do" I put my phone back in my bag "They could have told us, yeah where not talking to them, but they could have warned us or something"
"That's hard for them Brooke, they don't care about us because if they did, they wouldn't have hurt us like they have" Nathan spoke the honest truth.
I nodded agreeing with him "Your right" then I heard the gym doors open and saw Haley.
I stood up and wiped the tear away. I glanced at Nathan then walked towards the entrance, I said nothing and so did he. We didn't say goodbye to each other. I left then saw him leave after me. i didn't expect anything to change between us, yeah we shared intimate conversation, but that was over now and so was our being nice to each other. T
Haley drove us back to our apartment. I put my bag into my room and then grabbed a soda from the fridge. When I sat down I saw Haley looking at me funny. I sipped on my soda and looked back at her "Haley why are you looking at me like that?"
"You get stuck with Nathan in the school, but yet you where both in the gym together when you could have been in any part of the school" Haley said tilting her head to the side.
"We were both in the gym when we got locked in the school, so we decided to stay there. No big deal" I answered being honest.
"Luke would flip out if he found out you and Nathan spent the afternoon locked in the school together" Haley told me
"Yeah well it's whatever and besides his with Peyton and if you haven't notice, its official according to facebook" I replied holding up my phone and showing her.
"Facebook lies Brookie" Haley tried to convince me
"Not this time Hales" I shook my head "Not this time"
"I'm sorry Brooke" Haley stood up and came over to me and gave me a hug.
"Yeah so am I" I laid my head on top of Haley's "Well I'm tired, I'm off to bed" Haley retracted from me and I got up heading to my room "See you in the morning tutor girl"
"Night Brookie" I shut my door and lay on my bed and then I drifted off to sleep.
I walked down the halls of Tree Hill High feeling all eyes on me and this time I knew everyone was talking about me instead of admiring me. I could hear them whispering and muttering everywhere I went and then I saw them. The two people who ruined my life, who broke my heart in two. Then both looked at me, Peyton with a guilty look on her face and Lucas looking at me like I was nothing. I turned away and walked in the other direction when I spotted Nathan looking at me; he smiled and gave me a little wave. I smiled back and then headed for my locker.
When I got to my locker I felt someone come up behind me. I turned to see who it was hoping it wasn't either Peyton or Lucas, but to my surprise it was Nathan. He stood their smiling at me; I put my books in my locker and smiled back at him wondering what he wanted "Hi" He finally spoke
"Hey" I replied shutting my locker
"How are you doing after yesterday?" he asked. I was shocked at him caring about me.
"Erm... I would be better if people stopped whispering about me behind my back" I answered looking around seeing girls in the corner looking over at me then muttering something to each other.
"It should die down soon" Nathan said not taking his eyes from me, I could feel them trying to burn a whole in me.
"I sure hope so" I looked back at him "Was there something you wanted" I carried on, not trying to be rude, but trying to get to the point.
"Erm... yes actually there was" Nathan nodded putting his hands in his jean pockets "I was wondering if you would like to go to this party tonight? It's nothing special. Everyone will be their including you know who, but I wanted to ask you myslef"
I was trying to figure out in my head what his plan was or his motive. Nathan Scott never cares about anyone, but he and now for him to ask me to a party was defiantly strange. I shrugged then nodded "Yeah okay, where and what time?"
He smiled and that's when I realised he was being nice for no motive just him being nice. He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down something then handed it to me. I looked at it and laughed.
Beach. 6:00pm. See you there
"You didn't have to write it down Nate. I know here the beach is" I laughed again.
"Yeah you I know, but at least I can say I gave you a written invite" Nathan joked as he went to walk away then he turned back to me "Oh and Davis, don't forget your swimming custom" he winked at me and I kinked my eye brow.
"Now would I ever do a stupid thing like that" I bit my lip and he laughed walking away.
So let make get this straight, I'm going to a beach party tonight after being asked by Nathan Scott. Hmm I like this Nathan, it's a Nathan I've never seen and happy to see now. Anyway Peyton and Lucas will both be there and this is a good opportunity to show them both that I can move on.
