It's like the evil side of Laley! lol. Please read and review! Hope you like it:D

Brooke walks down the lobby at school wearing a grim expression on her face.

"Hey Brooke!"

"Hey Luke."

"Wow. Our very own cheery even broodier than I am! Oh how the mighty have fallen."

Brooke can't help but grin at him. "Very poetic Mr. Scott. That Dante guy must have really had an impression on you."

"Uh…Brooke that wasn't Dante…"

"Whatever. I will have you know that I am still the cheery cheerleader you know and love. I'm just sulking a little. But you can be SURE that I will NEVER sink to your level of broodiness Broody Boy"

Lucas laughed at her sudden changed of attitude. His heart couldn't help but give a little jump to the use of her nickname for him.

"So….Why are you uhh…sulking?"

Brooke sighed. "Remember how I told you about my dad's job in California?"

Lucas' smile disappeared. "Uhh...yeah."

"Well, I figured I would live with Peyton instead. You know, cuz I practically live there anyways—"

"Then what's the problem?" Lucas hoped that she didn't catch the anxiety he was feeling. She can't leave.

"I was getting to that!" she said irritated. She didn't mean to snap at him but she just didn't know what to do. "Nikki's back an—"

"What does that have to do with you moving?"

Brooke took a deep breath. "You know Luke, we could just stand here all day and watch you try and guess what's happening OR I would just tell you." She said this with a touch of irritation in her voice. She was geared in bitch mode.

"Ok. Ok sorry."

"Well anyways, Nikki's back, and so Jake is of course going insane trying to keep her away from Jenny. So they're staying at Peyton's for a while. You know I love them and Jenny to death but not enough to go through them bickering like a married couple all night."

"So….what are you going to do?

"I dunno." She sighed. "Maybe I could get my job back at the Crab Shack and just crash in their fridge? I'm sure Crab Carl would lov—" She stopped dead in her tracks and just stared wide eyed at the scene in front of her.

Nathan was in the middle of the hall making out with some random girl.

"Is that BEVIN!" Brooke screamed.

Lucas glared at Nathan as he continued to slobber all over a girl who wasn't Haley. Brooke on the other hand had had enough. She started charging off towards the pair pushing Bevin away from Nathan.

"Hate to break this little revolting escapade, but this guy's taken bitch. So I suggest you go and suck face with one of the locals down at Barley's Bar!"

"Brooke! What the hell are you doing?" Nathan yelled as he violently pulled her to face him.

"I could as you the same thing! Might I remind you that You're MARRIED?"

"Really? Cuz last time I checked you needed both the husband AND wife to have a good marriage. Look around you Brooke!" he waved his hands around. "Do you see a wife anywhere!"

"And you think that JUSTIFIES what you're doing!"

"You know what Brooke I don't have to justify anything! Especially to you! You don't know how I feel!"

Brooke was about to respond when she noticed that a large crowd had formed around her and Nathan. "You know…" She started obviously irritated. "Last time I checked, WE DIDN'T HAVE A FRIGGEN BROADWAY SIGN ON OUR HEADS!" and with that, the crowd got the hint and started scurrying off leaving Brooke and Nathan's conversation hard to hear. Brooke turned back to Nathan. "Believe me…" She started with a slight edge to her voice. "I have a pretty good idea."

Nathan stared at her for a bit and she stared right back. "Then you should understand that I don't have to defend myself to anyone."

"No Nathan, you do! If you keep going on like this then when Haley gets back she's going to want to turn right back to Chris."

Nathan's heart raced as he noticed that she said 'when' instead of 'if'. "Why are you acting as if she's coming back?" he demanded accusingly.

"Why are you acting like she isn't?" she shot right back.

They stared at each other for what seemed like forever. Each matching each other's glare.

"You know I don't know what you're problem is. But Nathan is over Haley. So I suggest you stop sticking your nose into our business and disappear. Let's go Nathan." Bevin grabbed Nathan's shoulder and began walking.

But Nathan didn't budge. He just continued to stare at Brooke with a lost expression in his eyes. "Forget it Bevin." He jerked his arm from her grip and without another word, walked away.

Bevin glared at Brooke who smirked at her. "Barley's bar is just around the corner."

Bevin just stared at her with deepest loathing and then turned and walked away.

Lucas, who had witnessed the entire scene, came behind Brooke. "What did you say to him?"

Brooke's eyes softened as she stared at Nathan's retreating form. "Just the truth." She said quietly.

Well? Good? Bad? Please tell me! I know it didn't have much Nookie friendship in this chapter. But I have to start off from the last episode. There will be lots of friendship scenes in the chapters ahead! And I will have brucas:D PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Luvies!
