Nathan:
It was seven o'clock sharp as I waited for Haley at the docks. She came with an awful poncho and some books.
"Good morning" I said in my most charming voice and she coughed fakery.
"Good morning, and stop this, your sweet voice won't help your grades" she just stated as she sat down.
"I am just trying to be nice" I said in an affected voice.
"Well does math care?" she asked and I was confused so I couldn't say anything back.
"So neither do I" she said and opened her book.
"I thought you help me with history?" I tried to joke but she just showed me the history book and gave me a look to start working, so I did.
Actually I started to believe it will be much harder than I expected.
Brooke:
Nathan was suffering through a tutor lesson as I walked arm in arm with Peyton.
"You are with me and Nathan hanging around, right?" I asked her for the fifth time and she elbowed me playfully.
"Davis how often do I have to tell you I am okay with it?" my blonde friend told me and I sighed in relieve.
"I mean we aren't together anymore" she added and I smirked at her.
"And you are totally okay with that?"
"Yes" Peyton said and I followed her gaze to my latest boy toy. I didn't think about why she looked at him I just decided to walk over.
"Yours?" the shy guy said and gave me my leopard bra.
"Thanks handsome, I was searching for that one" I smiled and took my bra from his hand which gave me a chance to touch him.
"Hey Luke" Peyton said in her lonely voice and he just said hi, without looking at her.
"I have to go to my class, so I see you guys at the game" Lucas said as he walked past us.
"Oh you are so going to see me" I smirked at my friend who just looked at my bra.
"The leopard bra, Brooke? Really?" she asked and I giggled.
"Well, he is kind of hot" I smiled and watched Nathan and Haley separately walk into school. I was going to win this bet. Lucas would no longer resist me and Haley didn't seem to be affected by Nathan at all.
I should start talking about the reward with him.
Nathan:
Haley was harder to brake than I thought, and the effect I wanted this to have on Lucas wasn't given, because she was so careful for him not to find out. I noticed Brooke's bright smile immediately and decided to wait for her to mock.
"So 23, you lack with girls will be all around school soon" she said in her husky voice and I let out a laugh.
"My lack with girls? Want to talk about you and Lucas first?" I asked her.
Her confidence shocked me for a moment and then I noticed the brain her hand.
"You did not" I said shocked.
"No, I just showed him" she smiled and put the bra away. Somehow I felt an ache in my chest as I thought about her being with him. But I blended it out.
"So let's talk rewards" she interrupted my thoughts.
"Are you really so sure, you are going to win?" I smirked my arrogant smirk at her.
"Totally" she nodded.
"Well…" I said and leaned closer.
"Let's say the winner has a free wish" I decided and she nodded.
"Anything" she added and I nodded. We were so close again I could feel her breath on my skin.
Somehow I needed Haley to finally give in more than I did before.
Brooke:
It was game night again and I was in my cheer captain outfit as I stepped out of my beetle.
"Nervous?" I asked the blonde who was walking beside me now.
"If I say no I am a liar, if I say I am I'm a baby…either way I lose" he muttered and took away my bag so that he could carry it for me.
"I don't think you are, it's just a lot of pressure I guess" I laughed and looked past him towards Nathan.
"Yeah" Luke breathed out and then coughed my eye.
"How come you hang out with me anyway?"
"What?" I asked puzzled.
"You are friends with him and last time I checked he was seeing me as an enemy" the blonde guy noticed.
"Well… ", I started "I do not let anyone decide what I am to do"
Lucas smiled.
"Is that a smile? Really? Does Mr. Broody give me a smile?" I joked and he rolled his eyes.
"I am not broody all the time" he added to his face expression.
"Well than I have to apologize, but you seem to be with me…" I said and noticed the book in his bag "but this book would make me moody as well"
"You ever read it?" he wondered and I laughed uncomfortable.
"Well not really, but it looks depressing" I noted.
"Read it and you will love it" he showed me the book.
"What's in for me?" I asked.
"A great book" he said in his innocent voice.
"No I mean, what are you willing to do for me you dummy" I teased.
"What you want?" he asked.
"Well, that I tell you after I read it" I grinned, took the book and left him there puzzled.
Nathan:
I saw Brooke standing there with him, laughing and teasing. I was losing the bet and it made me mad. I mean that was why I was mad, right? I really hoped that Haley would come. At least this would distract me from all this nonsense: Lucas and Brooke? No way.
I have to concentrate on the game I reminded myself over and over again.
"Nathan?"I heard Tim's voice, it seemed like he was talking to me before and I just wasn't getting it.
"What?" I said in my innerved voice and looked up at him.
"Your tutor" Tim just said with a big smile on his lips.
Maybe my plan could work. As I just finished that thought I saw her talking to Lucas. That punk was messing with my game.
And I do not mean the basketball game.
I walked out in the gym with people screaming at me and this boy whose name was lips or nose or something reviewed my whole basketball career. As I ran past Haley I just nodded at her and she looked down.
Brooke:
"Did you see that?" I asked Peyton.
"See what?" my friend wondered.
"Nathan gave the tutor the let's hook up after the game nod" I said and couldn't believe it. Was he really hitting on that girl?
"The what?", she asked again perplex.
"The nod! Okay I have a theory here: Nathan wants the tutor, the tutor is totally after Lucas and we both know I want Lucas, and actually I have no clue whom you want anymore" I said and looked at her "It's this whole rectangle plus one thing, whatever that is"
As Nathan ran past me I just raised my eyebrow and he gave me his famous smirk.
This game was so on!
Nathan:
She cheered extra loudly when he was going for the basket. How did she turn up on me? Nathan focus. I needed to remind myself that I was in a game and that my dad would rip my head from my body if he would see my thoughts. I will not lose because of this, whatever this is.
Brooke:
"Go Ravens" I screamed as it was half time. Nathan walked closer to me, but not as close as he used to.
"What are you doing Brooke?" he asked and I just looked up at him.
"Well now I will stretch and then cheer on" I joked but no smile appeared on his face as he left. I couldn't see the problem here, so I just ignored it.
"Hey your game is awesome" I said as Lucas ran inside again. He stopped and looked at me and Peyton.
"Thanks" he just said and I watched his gaze behind me, Nathan was hugging this girl. Lucas' fist tightened and his face became a mask of anger.
My fists clenched and my stomach turned inside out. He was succeeding.
Nathan came back with a bright smile, which effected Lucas just enough.
A punch was thrown and the voice of Whitey was heard. All I knew is that I felt a pain in my leg and Peyton started to scream at the guys to move away.
"Au" I winced.
The guys continued their fight until they were thrown from the gym.
"You need to see a doctor" Peyton said as she helped me to get up.
"Au" I repeated again the pain in my leg was getting worse by minute.
Nathan:
Of course Whitey yelled on the bus.
"We had to benefit a game, a GAME we were leading by MORE than 20 points" he said as he walked past me "because of a fight between TEAM mates on OUR team"
"And they were the reason we were leading" I just coughed out.
"Enough! Both of you out! You will think about it on a long walk home" Whitey screamed and the bus stopped.
"You can't do that" I protested but he threw me and Lucas out.
"Well done jerk" the blonde beside me said as the bus left without us.
