It was training time again. Coach Whitey divided the team in two groups so they could play a game. Nathan rolled his eyes. He definitely wanted to play with this Lucas boy. In fact he kind of hated him. First of all he had realized that he was a very good player and therefore would took his chances of getting recognized by scouts. Second of all her realized what looks he gave his little sister and how the girls fell for him. „So smartass, stop looking at my sister and start playing.", he whispered to him when he caught the ball. „What?", Lucas answered disbelieving what he had jus said „I am definitely not looking at that little version of you.", he defended himself and kept up running.
„And by the way. Stop looking at my best friend.", Lucas said back.
Meanwhile the girls had to train. „But I don´t wanna be on top all the time.", Brooke shouted at Rachel. „Well then grow.", Rachel answered back harshly „as long as your the smallest in our team and the lightest you will be on top.". She rolled her eyes. Sometimes the two of them were like worst enemies. „That tutor girl is as big as I am", Brooke whined and pointed at Haley. „No she is not.", Haley went to Brooke and one could easily see that she was a bit bigger. „And don´t call me Tutor girl, okay. My name is Haley." Brooke turned around and answered mean: „But I don´t like that name, tutor girl." Haley just rolled her eyes and decided that it would be better to stop that meanless conversation. She knew that a fight with Brooke would not end well. „Brooke. Would you please just shut up.", Rachel said so loud that the other jumped. She walked furiously to her sister and pushed her to the right point and then said „You get picked up right here. Then you smile and cheer." With that she nodded at the others who picked Brooke up as fast as possible so that she had no chance to protest.
The next scene happened very fast. Lucas and Nathan were on each others throat and cursed each others „You asshole", Nathan said at him and took him by his shirt. They did not care about their surrounding and the next thing was them falling into the cheerleader´s pyramide with Brooke on the top. The next thing was them lying between the others cheerleaders and not stopping fighting, although they were on top of Brooke.
„Ah", Brooke screamed. „Get off me." Peyton ran to Brooke and pushed them aside. „Brooke", she asked „are you alright?" Brooke just touched her ankle and said „Pain.".
Nathan and Lucas looked down at Brooke and asked: „ Are you okay?". But they were pushed away by her big sister „God. You idiots. Brooke. C´mon.", he lifted her up „let´s get you some help. Does it hurt a lot?", she cared for Brooke. Brooke just nodded her head.
„Ah, that´s too tight.", Brooke said at the guy that was helping her ankle getting bandaged. When she asked for something for the pain he gave her two pills but instead of taking one at a time she took both „Oops all gone." She smiled at him.
Peyton was waiting outside for Brooke. Rachel had to go into the gym again to talk to Whitey. „What are you still doing here?", she asked when she saw Haley. Haley could not answer the quesion because a very wildly smiling Brooke came out the door and hugged Peyton tightly. „Peyton. This is my best friend in the whole wild world. Don´t you think she is pretty?" The guy explained why she acted so funny. Then the three of them went outisde. „We should totally hang out more often. What is your name?", Brooke said to Haley. Haley rolled her eyes in disbelief and said „Still Haley." „Hmmm...well, I don´t like that name. Let´s call you Brooke", Brooke answered and was pushed in the back of the car by Peyton and Haley. When she pleased Haley and Peyton to drive with her she was very happy. Haley on the other side felt very akward. She didn´t like the idea of being in a car with Brooke and Peyton. She had nothing against Peyton but Brooke definitely often got on her nerves.
„So, you´re into Nathan, right?", Peyton smiled at Haley while she was driving. „Oh, that´s gross. He is my big brother." „I just tutor him. That´s all.", Haley answered. It was a good thing that Peyton didn´t have feelings for Nathan any more. They were together but now she was more interested in Jake. „He gave her the nod.", Brooke smiled and threw her ping pongs out of the car. „That was funny.", she screamed. „Brooke, just sit down okay.", Peyton said harshly. „Just be careful okay.", Peyton whispered to Haley. Haley nodded and didn´t know what to answer. „I can hear birds", Brooke looked into the air and made the others smile. „I wanna play truth or dare.", she then said and looked between Haley and Peyton. „Brooke. We cannot play dare in a care.", Haley smiled at her. „Okay, so...let´s play truth or truth.", Brooke said „ I wanna begin. Peyton. Truth or truth?". Peyton rolled her eyes. „C´mon, you have to choose one." „Fine. Truth.". „Boy, that´s boring. I know everything about you.", Brooke layed down at the backseat. It was true. Peyton and Brooke had a great relationship since they were little.
Suddenly the car stopped. „Why did we stop?", Brooke asked but then saw her big brother and Lucas standing outside of it. „Why are you standing outside without shirts?", Peyton asked them and laughed. „Don´t ask", they answered and Nathan pushed his sister in the middle of the backseat. It was not long that Brooke was sleeping between Nathan and Lucas with her head resting on Lucas´shoulder. But Nathan took her head and rested it on his shoulder and looked furiously at him.
„Good night.", Haley said after Nathan who had his sleeping sister in his arms and blushed a little. „See you tomorrow.", he answered and smiled back.
