This was too weird.
She sat down on the couch and picked up the phone.
She dialed the number and waited until she heard someone pick up.
"Luke , it's me. Guess what? Oh never mind I'll just tell you. Nathan asked ME to Homecoming!!! Can you believe it?"
She said excitedly into the phone but then she stopped when she heard the noise of a dial tone in her ear.
" I know he did not just hang up on me. I am so gonna …" She stopped her rambling because someone was knocking on the door. Getting up from the couch she walked over to the door and opened it.
" Luke! What are you doing here? And how did you get here that quick? You hung up on me dude, you do realize that I was going to strangle you right?"
She stopped talking when she saw Lucas's face. He was sitting there grinning at her.
She promptly smacked him in the arm.
"You jerk , what is so funny about you hanging up on me? I was in the middle of telling you about what happened with Nate and you just hung up." Luke put his arm around her shoulder and started to lead her into the living room.
"Hales , I was sitting out in the garage with your dad. You honestly didn't think I was just going to leave did you? What if things didn't go well and you needed me? That's not important though because things did go good. You and Nate at Homecoming huh? So what are you two dating now or what?"
Lucas looked at her and she couldn't stay mad at him. How many people out there could say they had a friend like him? Tightening her grip on his waist , she smiled and told him all about their conversation and how they decided to be friends first. Luke agreed that friends was the way to go to start things off.
" Well now that I know what's up , why don't we call Brooke and Peyton and have them meet us at the café? If you don't tell them about you and Nathan's little talk today you know they're going to kill you, right?"
Luke handed her his cell phone , she nodded and started to dial Peyton's number.
It turned out Brooke was already there so she only had to make one call. They all agreed to meet at Karen's in half an hour.
Brooke and Peyton walked into the café and saw that Lucas and Haley were already there waiting for them. Brooke walked up to them and kissed Luke before taking a seat beside Peyton.
" Hey Broody, Tutorgirl. Okay so what's this big secret? I know it's gotta be juicy, I can just tell by the way Haley is sitting there grinning"
Haley just rolled her eyes at Brooke's comment.
"Well lets see , Lucas came to see me this morning and told me about his and Nathan's conversation at the party last night. Then Nathan showed up at my house.
"
She paused long enough to take in their reactions. Brooke's eyes got big and now Peyton was fully interested in what was being said.
"Alright you've got our attention girlie, you can tell us what happened now before the suspense kills us" Peyton was looking pleadingly with Haley to continue.
"Well he apologized for what Theresa said even though it really wasn't his fault , he can't control what that nasty bitch says. Then I told him that even though Theresa had a point when she said I wasn't one of his friends , that I would like to be a friend. He said he wanted that too , but that's not the best part. He asked me to go to the Homecoming dance with him"
As soon as the words left her mouth Brooke started jumping up and down. Peyton and Haley just looked at each other and waited for her to calm down. Brooke looked at Haley and rolled her eyes sarcastically.
"Tutorgirl do you know what this means? No? I'll tell you then. It means we, as in you, me ,and P. sawyer get to go SHOPPING!!! Peyt is going with Jake and your going with Nate, and I'm going with Broody. We all have the perfect guy to go with, Now all we need is the perfect dress to match. We can go in the morning."
Peyton and Haley groaned. Brooke acted insulted but that only lasted for a second until Luke kissed her and whispered " They'll be thanking you tomorrow Pretty girl." She smiled. She knew he was right.
They all said their goodbyes about an hour later after making plans to meet up at 10 tomorrow morning to go shopping. Haley wanted to get home, Nathan was supposed to call her tonight.
