"Morning Boyfriend." Brooke said as she slowly rolled over and kissed Lucas on the cheek.

"Good Morning, Pretty Girl." Lucas said squinting his eyes, trying to wake up. He pulled her into his chest and kissed her forehead. He loved waking beside Brooke. She always looked so beautiful. Even at 7.00 A.M.

"We better get up Luke, it's a very important day. You did remember to pick up your cap and gown, right?" She wiggled her way out of Lucas's arms and began gathering her things and throwing them into her overnight bag.

"Yes...you only reminded me 10 times." He said laughing. Brooke Davis ALWAYS made sure he had everything together. She was his cool breeze, and he was so glad she had decided to give him another chance. After Haley and Nathan's wedding Brooke saw Peyton and Luke hugging. Little did she know that all Peyton was doing, was saying goodbye. She had decided to leave town for a while with Jake and Jenny. Peyton knew who her heart was with, it took her a long time to figure it out, but she realized Jake made her happy. He challenged her and helped her become a better person. She didn't want to tell Brooke until after she was on the road. Brooke Davis is persistent and would have convinced her to stay. After Peyton called Brooke to tell her, she quickly understood what she saw. Luckily, Luke talked to her and cleared the air.

"What would you do without me?" She said giving him that sweet but cocky smile. "We need to get going! I have a little last minute shopping to do ,and a hair appointment at 11:00. Then we're meeting up with Nathan and Haley before graduation at 3:00." Brooke was so excited and couldn't believe 'Graduation Day' was finally here. "I still have so many things to discuss with Lucas." She thought to herself. The last few weeks had been very stressful on her. She had designs to finish for the next 'Clothes Over Bros' line, plus all the stress of graduating in few weeks had her mind in a twist.

"I'd be lost without you Brooke Davis" Lucas smiled and winked at her. "Shower?..." he asked already knowing her answer.

"Me shower with you?...Never." she said teasing. Of course she wasn't going to pass this up. Karen had already left to help set up for graduation and they had the whole house to themselves.

Just then, Lucas picked her up and kissed her unexpectedly. She squealed and kissed him back.

"I love you, Lucas Scott."

"I love you too Brooke Davis."

"TutorGirl! Brooke yelled excitedly.

"Hey Brooke, you look amazing! You ready to graduate?!" Haley said with a huge grin on her face. Haley's valedictorian...She worked her ass off for this and deserved it. Unlike Brooke who barely made it to class, but made it to graduation due to her great SAT and ACT scores.

"I'm excited Haley, but I'm really gonna miss this place. We've been through a lot here. It's going to be weird leaving it all behind." Brooke said with a small tear in the corner of her eye. "Look at me being all emotional." Brooke said slightly laughing. "I don't want to ruin my makeup." she said smiling and taking a deep breath.

"I know what you mean, but look at this as a new chapter in 'Brook Davis's epic life story'. Haley giggled. "Let's go find the boys, then we can find our seats on the football field. Haley said giving Brooke a quick smile and nudging her in the direction of the football stadium.

Brooke and Haley found Luke and Nathan just in time. This was it! All four of them were nervous, but ready to be done with school.
Brooke Davis, Rachel Gattina, Haley James-Scott, Marvin McFadden, Bevin Mirskey, Lucas Scott, Nathan Scott, Tim Smith and Antwon "Skills" Taylor. One by one they were called up onto the podium. They shook hands with the principal and Whity, then returned to their seats. Haley gave her speech that Lucas helped write. Then it was done. Just like that, highschool was completly over.

"Brooke!... Brooke!" Lucas ran up to her and threw his arms around her pettite torseo, picking her up off the ground.

"Hey baby!" Brooke said as she kissed him sweetly.

"Can you belive it? We're officially out of highschool." We made it!" he said kissing her once more.

"I know boyfriend." Brooke said with a devious smile on her face. "And to celebrate, you're taking me out to dinner. Then we can go back to your place since your mom is heading out of town. If you know what i mean." Brooke said now giggling.

Brooke and Lucas walked into the house after having dinner at Caprice Bistro in Wilmington. They always enjoyed spending quality time together and needed a night out. The subject of "College" still hadn't come up, and Brooke was getting anxious. She had to do this, NOW, she couldn't wait any longer. It was going to drive her crazy until she talked to Lucas!

"Luke...?" She said with a soft but serious tone in her voice.

"Yes? pretty girl." He said with a smile on his face while he handed Brooke a glass of wine.

"I think we should talk about what happens next." Brooke said nervously.

Lucas sat on the bed and reached for her free hand. She willingly took it and sat down next to him. Brooke was praying that this wasn't the end for her and Lucas. For the first time in her life she thought about the future. She wanted a life with Lucas Eugene Scott, she wanted him t be apart of her company, she wanted to be there for his basketball career, and one day...she even wanted to have a family with him. Lucas was her soul mate and there was no way she was giving up...as long as he wasn't.

"I was hoping you would bring that up, pretty girl." Lucas said as he took Brooke's glass of wine out of her hand and sat it on the nightstand. "I have a surprise for you!" He said pulling a small envelope out of his pocket.

"Lucas Scott! What are you up to? You're making me a nervous wreck!"

"Okay..so a few months ago i was already thinking about our futures and how we were going to make our relationship work after highschool." Lucas said opening the envelope.

"Luke...? What are you trying to say?" Brooke said with anticipation and a little excitement.

"I know you're focused on your fashion career, and I'm focused on my basketball career. So I thought about it and found a school that offers both." Lucas said earnestly. " ' University of North Carolina' the Seahawks offers both, and it's close enough to home. We won't be stranded." He laughed.

"Lucas this is..amazing...but applying and getting accepted take months. I...we...don't have enough time to apply!" Brooke said in pure shock. Brooke was on board 100 percent, but this would never work. They were too late!

"Obviously you underestimate me." Lucas said giving her a kiss on the forehead and handing her wine back to her. He also handed her the letter in his hand.

Brooke grabbed the letter out of his hand and unfolded the letter. "Brooke Davis, We have received your application along with your sketches. We are happy to inform you that you have been selected." Brooke stopped reading and just stared at the piece of paper in front of her.

"I got in...WE GOT IN!" Brooke jumped up almost spilling her wine. She wrapped her arms around Lucas's neck. "No wonder a few of my sketches went missing and couldn't find them." She laughed. "Lucas...this means everything..knowing that we'll get to be together is all that matters."

"You Lucas Scott are definitely getting a big reward for this." Brooke said with that devilish but sexy smile that Lucas loved.

Brooke climbed into his lap and kissed him. She didn't remember ever being this happy before in her life. Lucas was definitely the one for her.

"Should I get the whipped cream?" Lucas said laughing

"You know me too well." Brooke said smiling and leaning in for another kiss.
