Brooke sat at her desk in her dorm trying to right some stupid book for her English Class and it wasn't working. She couldn't concentrate not with her first game in almost 7 hours. She stood up and grabbed her duffel bad. She walked around aimlessly for awhile before ending up in front of Nathan's dorm. She pushed open the door and walked the short distance to Nathan's room. She could hear the boys playing basketball again as they often did when they were avoiding doing their homework. How they managed to keep their grades up was beyond her because even she was struggling. She knocked lightly on the door before barging in and setting her baby pick duffel bag next to Nathan's.
"Nathan I'm bored entertain me!" Brooke whined as Nathan threw the sock ball in the make-shift basket they had sent up the first day they were here.
"Gee Brooke come on in and make yourself at home."
"I was going to anyway thanks for offering."
"So Brooke what brings you to our messy room?" Jordan said throwing one of Nathan's dirty socks at him.
"I was bored all alone in my room and wanted some entertainment."
"Oh is our little Brooke nervous about her first televised game?" Jordan asked pinching her cheek.
"No I'm not nervous Jordan but pinch my cheek again and I'll sick Nate after you."
"I'm not fighting your battles for you; Jordan can probably beat me up." Nathan smirked and threw the sock ball towards the basket scoring as always.
"But Natey you love me." She pouted and Nathan just patted her shoulder on his way to retrieve his ball.
"Not gonna work Brooke." She crossed her arms and sat back on Nathan's bed. Someone knocked on the door and Jordan jumped up to get it. "Jeez Jor you don't even know who it is and you're excited to get it." Jordan slapped Nathan's shoulder and opened the door where a tall boy with dark hair stood with a smirk on his face. Nathan and Brooke turned towards the door. Brooke sat up in her seat and jumped into his arms.
"What are you doing here?" Brooke asked as Jordan stood off in the distance watching. He looked to Nathan and pointed at Brooke.
"I could ask you the same thing Brooke."
"Okay can I interrupt? How the hell do you guys know each other?"
"Hey Nathan."
"Hey Tim, what's up?"
"Oh nothing much just changing schools, I got bored at home."
"Oh Jordan these are my friends from back home in Tree Hill."
"Good now I have someone to party with when Nathan's playing basketball." Brooke exclaimed as she ushered Tim in.
"You know me too well Brooke but can I ask what you two are doing hanging out? I mean you two barely spoke to each other."
"She's my tie to the good times. Plus she's really funny when she tries to act smart."
"Yeah I hear your first game is tonight, nervous?" Nathan looked at his best friend and laughed.
"I never get nervous, but Brooke on the other hand."
"Shut up Scott, I don't get nervous." She protested resuming her spot on his bed that she had dubbed hers whenever she wanted. She even went as far as to kick him out it when Kayla had her flavor of the week over for some extracurricular activities. She laughed out loud causing the boys to eye her strangely.
"What's so funny?" Jordan asked jumping on the bed next to her.
"The night I kicked Nathan out of his bed because Kayla was having some guy over."
"Oh yeah that was funny, Tim you missed it. Brooke came over like 4 nights ago at like 1 in the morning and kicked Nathan out of his bed because her roommate Kayla was screwing some guy. Nathan was so pissed but him being the whipped man he is gave her his bed. Nathan was not a happy camper that day at practice.
"Dude she kicked me out of my bed because she can't put up with her friend getting more action then her." Nathan shot back looking at Brooke's shocked face.
"Yeah but at least I've dated since starting school besides you who turns down every girl that comes on to you." Tim turned towards Nathan with a shocked look on his face, 'This is not my best friend something's up.' Tim thought to himself.
"Nate you didn't turn gay on me did you?" Brooke and Jordan burst out laughing as Nathan tackled Tim to the ground punching him. "Okay Nate I surrender, I'm sorry."
"Damn straight you're sorry." Nathan sat back on his heels breathing heavily from punching Tim over and over. Brooke and Jordan were winding down from their fit of laughter and Jordan looked at Nathan. Nathan had expressed interest in Brooke after seeing her that first day on the court. It was weird because Nathan told him of how he barely talked to Brooke in high school but something about her now was different as Nathan often said whenever he talked about Brooke. Nathan caught Jordan's eye and knew exactly what he was thinking about his 'feelings' for Brooke considering he had no clue what they were.
It was going to be interesting to see how Nathan handled seeing Brooke in a cheerleading uniform since his new feelings arose. Jordan chuckled to himself as the group went out for food before the game.
