Brooke: Oh sorry!

Nathan: Dont apologize, you didnt mean to.

Brooke: I know, but... (starts getting upset)

Nathan: Brooke...

Brooke: No, Im sorry! (she runs out the school doors.)

I should probably start off by telling you Nathan is the popular jock at school..but he is the nicest jock you'd ever meet.

Brooke Davis is the brains and the outsider. She is very smart and knows Nathan, but Nathan has only heard of her once when they were in 2nd grade together. Now, they have Geometry together. Brooke was very to herself, as Nathan was not. Nathan started having an eye on Brooke and liked that she was so down-to-earth and normal. He started running into her frequently, but she would just go away. She didn't want to invade in his space. She knew he was very popular, and thought he was a jerk, but he was the farthest thing for that.

Brooke was going to class when she ran into Nathan Scott and her books fell.

He fell over and she fell on-top of him and they were looking eachother in the eyes, in the moment, on the school hallway floor. Everyone started watching, and Brooke, after a few seconds, got up.

Brooke: Oh sorry!

Nathan: Dont apologize, you didnt mean to.

Brooke: I know, but... (starts getting upset)

Nathan: Brooke...

Brooke: No, Im sorry! (she runs out the school doors.)

Nathan's brother and best friend goes up to Nathan, who is now picking himself up off of the floor, and says..

Lucas:Dude, who was that?

Nathan, watching her run out the school, worried and amazed by her at the same time, says: Brooke Davis. We have Geometry together.

Lucas: You TALK to her?

Nathan: No, not really.

Lucas: Good, she's kinda not your type.

Nathan: Oh and Haley is your type?

Lucas: Shut up dude. (hits Nathan playfully)

(they both laugh)

Lucas: I'll see ya later man.

Nathan: Okay.

(They do their handshake/hug thing)

Nathan starts walking out of the school doors and runs to Brooke's car, where she is just getting inside, getting ready to leave.

Brooke: Im sorry Nathan. I didnt mean to run into you. I hope you're okay.

Nathan, now in a laugh/smile says: Its no problem.

Brooke smiling gently, says: Well, Im glad that you are. We wouldn't want #23 to get hurt before his big game.

Nathan kinda giggling says: Haha, well, I guess not.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I guess winning is the most important thing in everyone's lives..

(Brooke kinda looks down at the steering wheel.)

Nathan:Nah, its not the most important thing.

Brooke looks up, fascinated and surprised at the same time.

Brooke: Really? Whats important to you?

Nathan: I like Basketball, I really do. I just think there are many other important things in life.

Brooke: Wow.

Nathan, laughing, says: What?

Brooke: I just thought..nevermind.

Nathan: No, what, you can tell me.

Brooke looks up into Nathans eyes.

Brooke: I just thought you were mean...jerk..thats all.

Nathan: Oh well, I guess you have to get to know someone before you judge them.

Brooke: Yeah, I guess so...Well I gotta get going. It was really nice talking to you.

Nathan: Brooke, wait.

Brooke looks up and says sweet and innocently: What?

Nathan: Whats important to YOU?

Brooke: Oh, I dont know..I really like painting and friends and fashion.

Nathan, kinda surprised by this, because Brooke wore very baggy types of clothes.

Nathan:Really? I would have never thought YOU would like fashion..

Brooke: Well, m,maybe you shouldn't judge someone before you know them right?

Nathan notes this and kinda smiles.

Brooke: Well, I better get going. It was really nice talking to you.

Brooke, is about to pull out of the school parking lot.

Nathan: Wait.

she looks at him

Nathan: Would you like to call me sometime? Or me call you? Or go out to eat or something.

Nathan kinda nervous as he says this.

Brooke: Yeah, sure. Here's my address and phone number.

She hands him a paper after writing on it. and then she pulls out.

Its about even-ish looking as the sun is setting, and Nathan looks at Brooke pulling out, with such certainy.
