Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill.
Brooke made her way down the hallway to her locker. As she walked by, she heard the snickers and gossip of everyone around her. Haley looked over at her best friend and decided to take action.
"What's the matter with you all," Haley yelled, "Haven't you ever seen someone with cancer?" Everyone immediately turned their back away from Haley and Brooke. Brooke rubbed the back of her next and sighed.
"Ummmmmm…" Brooke started.
Haley smiled rather pleased with herself, "You are very welcome!"
"You really didn't have to do that," Brooke said with a sigh. The fact that Haley confirmed the rumors and gave them something to talk about, it made her feel insecure with herself and her condition.
"No, Brooke, I did. I don't like that people are being so inconsiderate. I mean, for goodness sake, you have cancer. People need to grow up and stop being so childish!" Haley ranted. Brooke rolled her hazel eyes.
"Haley, next time, could you maybe not tell them I have cancer?" Brooke asked softly. Haley stopped abruptly and gasped.
"Oh, sorry," Haley apologized. Her face turned beet red with embarrassment. Brooke smiled and hugged her best friend. Even though she felt out-of-place, Brooke stilled loved the fact that Haley was right there beside her.
"Listen, I have to go to class. I will meet you by your car afterschool," Brooke said as she walked to English.
"Gotta find Nate," Haley said determined as she began to fast walk. Her chocolate eyes scanned the hallways. Her eyes danced with joy as she found the brunette. "Nathan!" Haley yelled excitedly.
Nathan raised a brow at his on-edge girlfriend, "Have you been smoking?"
Haley growled, "Nathan, I don't have time for this, we have to do something!" Nathan looked around and smiled, the hallway was deserted.
"Haley," Nathan said as he grabbed her arm, "I think we better get you to the nurse." Haley snatched her arm out of his grip.
"Nathan, we have to do something! Everyone is staring at Brooke, gossiping about her, and making her regret coming back to school. Now, I have an idea to get them talking about something else," Haley said with a wink.
Nathan's face fell, "What?"
"Well, you know how we are dating and no body knows?" Haley questioned. Nathan's eyes widened. "I think that we should kiss and then, they can talk about us!"
Nathan shook his head, "No, no matter what, they are still gonna talk about Brooke!"
Haley grabbed his arm tightly and pulled him closer to her face, "Now, you listen here, we are going to kiss, it's worth a try! I let the cat out-of-the-bag, and made my best friend more insecure. So, help me, if you don't kiss me infront of everyone-"
"Ok, let's go," Nathan said interrupting Haley's threat.
She smiled pleased, "I had you shaking in your boots!"
Nathan frowned, "You were scary!"
"Oh, man up!" Haley said as they sat down at the wooden table outside. "Now, we just have to wait for the lunch bell to ring and for Brooke to show-up!"
"Hey, guys!" Lucas said as he sat across from the couple. Nathan and Haley's face made Lucas question, "What' going on?"
"You'll see," Haley promised. Nathan and Lucas exchanged glances of concern. Brooke sat down next to Lucas silently.
"Hey," she whispered as she looked around.
All the juniors at Tree Hill High were eyeing Brooke, telling each other about their theories and gruesome details about her surgery. Brooke just wanted to scream at them for staring at her. Can't they just take a picture? I mean, it lasts longer!
Haley and Nathan stood on the tables. Brooke's eyes widened. Oh, no, not again! Haley and Nathan smiled as they kissed. Slowly, that peck turned into a heated, passionate make-out session. Brooke watched as everyone around them gasped and pulled out their phones to take pictures.
Nathan and Haley sat down after they made sure everyone was watching. Brooke flashed them her infamous, dazzling, Brooke Davis smile. She opened her brown-bagged lunch and began to eat her sandwich.
"So, Luke, you wanna kiss on the table?" Brooke offered seductively.
"Oh, yeah," Lucas said as he stood up. Brooke giggled and yanked down on his arm.
"You guys are the best, thanks!" Brooke thanked Nathan and Haley. Haley smiled as Nathan still didn't want to think about the aftermath of the kiss.
Nathan nodded, "Don't mention it!" Everyone giggled, "No, I mean don't ever mention this again!"
Brooke, Haley, and Lucas smiled, "Promise!"
"Hello Brooke," a voice called from behind Brooke. Brooke clenched her teeth and turned around.
"What?" she snapped her eyes followed Peyton as she sat down across from Brooke. Brooke crossed her arms against her chest. "Peyton, what do you want?"
"I wanted to ask you—"
"I thought you said she was bald," a short, strawberry blond haired girl whined to another girl. The black haired girl snickered.
"Oh, Abigail, can't you see it's a wig?" Brooke's mouth widened. Wig my ass!
"Excuse me, but just who-the-hell, do you think you are?" Peyton said as she walked towards the two. The two girls began to laugh as Peyton approached them. Brooke just sat there looking back and fourth at them.
"I'm sorry?" Abigail said.
"Listen, bitch, her hair is real and she is not bald. Now, how could you be so inconsiderate?!" Peyton snapped. The two girls' smiles faded. They were in for it, now. "You better apologize and never talk to Brooke again!"
"Or what?" the black haired girl asked.
"I'll kick your scrawny, little ass!" Peyton threatened. The two girls gave a nervous giggle before turning to Brooke.
"Sorry, Brooke!" they said as they ran to a table in the back. Brooke raised a brow as Peyton sat back down across from her.
"Thanks," Brooke said trying to figure Peyton out. Peyton smiled. "Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" Peyton asked. Brooke gestured towards the two girls who had insulted her. "Oh," Peyton said as she realized.
"Peyton, look, we are not exactly buddy-buddy, so, why did you do that?" Brooke asked. Was Peyton messing with her?
Peyton exhaled, "Everyone needs someone to have their back."
Brooke smiled, "Thanks, you had a question?"
"Do you wanna be my partner for the science lab?" Peyton asked. Brooke nodded her head.
Dear Diary,
Today was full of surprises! First, Nathan and Haley had a make-out session infront of the entire student body! Can you believe it? I mean, they did all of that just to take the heat off of me. Oh, and Peyton Sawyer, that bitchy popular girl, she and I are becoming friends, I think. She stood up for me when people were making fun of me. Maybe, just maybe, Peyton Sawyer isn't what I thought she was. Tomorrow, Lucas promised to take me out on a date! Also, I have to go over to Peyton's house to work on our project. Well, I better get some sleep.
Love,
Brooke
