Chapter 3

I love your infectious laugh.

I finally got out the gym after a gruelling 2 hour session of basketball practise; Whitey worked us to the limit.

I waited in the courtyard outside school where we agreed we would meet and I heard a girls laugh from across the way and I didn't even need to look to know who it was.

"Hey Brooke!" I said greeting her as she ran over. God, I loved her laugh!

"Hey Luke, how was practise because you look like hell," Brooke said giggling at her own joke.

And somehow it didn't matter that the joke was at my expense, I laughed along with her and she smiled her famous Brooke Davis smile.

"So where do you wanna hang out tonight?" Brooke asked me already knowing my answer.

"Where do you wanna hang out?" I asked her already knowing her answer, it was a regular joke we had going between the two of us which to the average person would probably seem stupid and not at all funny, but I dunno it just was with Brooke.

"Well how about we go half and half." Brooke suggested with a light in her eye, and I laughed again we came to this decision every week, and yet every week Brooke would look as if it was the brightest idea each time.

"So rivercourt and mall it is." I concluded.

"Sounds perfect," Brooke said with as smile, and leading the way out of school and to my car.

The car ride anywhere was always funny, as mine and Brooke's taste in music isn't exactly the same, I like Fall out Boy and she is more a Taylor Swift fan so our arguments on what to listen to isn't always quite entertaining.

But as usual we normally meet in the middle and have The Wreckers and Jimmy Eat World.

I pull up the car by the rivercourt and jump out the car and grab the ball from the back.

I throw the ball and it goes straight threw the net, Brooke laughs.

"You make it looks so easy; whenever I do it I look semi-retarded!" Brooke says walking over to me.

"It's easy, come here." I take her hand and pull her in front of me and give her the ball.

"Lucas you know I can't do it." Brooke moaned.

I take her hands and aim for the basket, "Now flick you wrists and shoot." I coach.

Brooke throws the ball and it goes into the net, she jumps up and does a little celebration dance.

"Yeah! I never have been able to do that before! Thanks Luke." Brooke says and engulfs me in a giant bear hug.

"You're welcome Brooke."

A couple of hours later and Brooke and I are wandering round shops in the mall where Brooke points out every single piece of clothing telling me what is fashionably wrong and right with it.

And if it was anyone else, I would probably have told them to shut up hours ago but since it is Brooke I just listen.

"So Brooke we always talk about me and my life, and we never seem to talk to about you. I wanna know you better, tell me something about you." I ask, as we sit down in a café.

"Well I am dying for coffee." Brooke jokes, but I can tell she is just covering up the fact she doesn't want to tell me something.

"Brooke…."

"I don't really like to talk about my life, my parents and where I come from because people don't understand."

"Try me."

"I guess what I mean is to the human eye it would seem like a prefect life, tons of money, huge house, loads of clothes. But they don't see what I see, because what I see is pain, fear, arguing parents, obsessive power and a strain to always be perfect. So if you want me too tell you something about myself I guess I would say, don't presume things to be perfect before you know the whole story."

And in that single moment, I felt like I could honestly say that I had found something perfect, I had found Brooke Davis because I knew the whole story.

"So do you wanna order?" Brooke asked with a smile, but her voice slightly cracked and a single tear fell from her eye.

"You are amazing Brooke Davis, believe that. Because someday the whole world will too."

"Thanks Lucas, and believe in self greatness too because you are, and the world will know it too someday."

And we smiled, and in the moment all my dreams and hopes for the future felt restored because I knew that as long as Brooke was in my life that everything would be okay.

And then Brooke laughed that infectious laugh of hers and I knew every single guy in the room would be so jealous right now!
