Brooke walked into class. She took off her brown leather jacket. The smile that she was famous for appeared on her face after days.

Peyton Sawyer walked over to her, Brooke cringed, "So, Davis, I heard you were at the River Court talking to Lucas."

"Yeah, good observation!" Brooke hissed. She wasn't terrified of her anymore.

"I wouldn't bother trying with him. He is going to ask me to prom and you're not going to have anyone to go with—"

"Actually," Lucas said as he walked over to them, "I am taking her to prom."

He gave Brooke a kiss as he sat down next to her. Brooke giggled as Peyton looked like someone shot her in the heart.

"What the hell are you doing, Lucas?" she snapped.

"I am sitting with my girlfriend, who I am taking to prom," he stated.

Brooke could see the uneasiness in his eyes, but he was proving himself to her. they laughed as Peyton walked off.

"I'm going to prom with you?" Brooke asked.

Lucas nodded, "You are my girlfriend, after all."

"Prom isn't for three months, Lucas. Besides, you are not getting off that easy!" she said as she flipped a piece of hair off her shoulder.

He raised a brow, "Do what now?"

She giggled, "You are going to ask me out in a cute way, or I am not going with you!"

"That ain't right!"

"You're cute!" she said as they kissed.

"EW!"

Brooke blushed as she saw Nathan standing in front of them. Nathan was smiling at them, which was odd because he normally glared at her. "Can I help you?"

"You're girl is feisty!" Nathan joked as he sat next to Lucas. "Bro, I have to ask Haley out in some cute way! Isn't that ridiculous?"

Lucas looked at Brooke, she looked away, "I know what you mean."

"what is with you women!" Nathan groaned.

Brooke smiled, "We have dreamed about prom since we are little."

Wait, did Nathan say he was going to ask Haley out in a cute way? Brooke covered her mouth, "Wait, what!"

Nathan chuckled, "Was seeing how long it would take you. Yeah, I am going to ask her out and she wants it to be all romantic and shit—"

"Because there is nothing more adorable than romance and shit," Brooke mocked.

"Hey! If I didn't like her, she wouldn't be getting the whole nine yards!" Nathan reminded.

"Gee, thanks man. Now, I have to roll out the red carpet," he said as he gave Brooke a wink.

She shoved him, "I deserve it!"

"So you think," he teased.

"I'm leaving before someone gets slapped and by someone, I meant Lucas," Nathan said as he left.

Brooke smiled. She was happy that things were looking up for her and Haley both.


"So, word on the street is that Lucas publicly declared his feelings for you," Haley said as she leaned up against her locker.

Brooke opened her locker, turning to her, "The rumor is true. One Peyton Sawyer got her humiliated by my boyfriend!"

Haley gasped, "He asked you out?"

"Yeah, but prom is the one that has to be cute!" Brooke said as she closed her locker.

Haley nodded, "Nathan has to do the same thing."

"I wonder how we got so lucky. Who knew that we would be dating the two most popular guys in school!"

"I feel like Angelina and Brad Pitt!"

Brooke scoffed, "Team Aniston all the way!"

"What, are you crazy?" Haley snapped.

"I can't even fathom why you would like fish lips?"

"Why would you like Rachel?"

Brooke giggled, "And this is why we are best friends."

Haley nodded, "I'm really happy, Brooke."

"Me too. "
