Brooke still couldn't get over the feeling she had for Lucas, still not sure if she believed it. How was it even possible she was a Davis, the only person she ever really loved was her dad, yet she admitted out loud she loved Lucas it was crazy, wasn't it?
"You ready for our little hike?" Rachel asked pulling Brooke out of her thoughts.
"I don't know, I mean I don't think I can see him Rach." Brooke sighed, yesterday and all night Brooke explained to Rachel how she didn't know what she was feeling was true and how scared she was to be feeling all the feelings she felt.
"I know but you have too, don't worry I bet you won't see him. Well ok that's a lie you probably will but I will be by your side the whole time." Rachel smiled.
"Promise?" Brooke pouted.
"I promised my skanky friend I won't leave you one second." Rachel promised as she looped her arm through the brunettes and walking out of the cabin to the lake where they were all supposed to meet before being separated into groups and starting their hike.
"Wow your boy looks like shit." Rachel whispered to Brooke who just rolled her eyes but couldn't help but agree with Rachel. Lucas's eyes looked heavy and tired, along with his body that looked as it need to just relax. His once cute boyish grin Brooke grow so use to seeing and loving was nowhere to be seen and that upset Brooke even more.
"Ok we are splitting up into 6 groups of 5." Kevin announced "Each group will have one of us as your leader and we will take you through the woods and kind of where ever else."
"Alright let's separate groups," Chelsea another counselor said as she looked down at her clip board. "Ok Johnson, Love, Jackson, Sanders and Taylor you will be in my group. So let's go." She said waving them on and handing a piece of paper to Kevin.
"Lewis, Lambert, Allen, Shelton and Handler you will be in my group." Ray said also walking off followed by Kendal and Maya's group.
Now it was just Kevin and Lucas's group and Brooke stood there nervous, still had yet to make eye contact with Lucas which was surprisingly not to hard since he wouldn't even look at her.
"Luke you want to call out your group next?" Kevin asked.
"Whatever man I don't care." Lucas groaned, and Brooke couldn't help but notice how distant he seemed, how he clearly didn't want to be doing this and he was even being short with Kevin.
"Ok well I guess Roberts, Gold, Gardner, Harding and Gatina with me. The rest will be with Lucas."
Rachel felt Brooke's arm tighten and knew that she didn't want to be alone with Lucas, at least not now, but was surprised to see Lucas seemed just as annoyed with her in his group as she was.
"You said you wouldn't leave me." Brooke whined to Rachel like a 5 year old.
"I know but there is nothing I can do." Rachel sighed "I'm sorry B just talk to Hank."
"Yeah that will make things better." Brooke scuffed at the idea, even though Hank and Summer seemed to hit it off Brooke knew Lucas around Hank was not the best idea.
"Wait maybe I can switch groups," Rachel suggested "Kev!" Rachel called to the boy she had grown to care so much about who was talking to the boy Brooke seemed to care so much about.
"Yeah what's up?" Kevin asked as Rachel walked up to the two boys.
"Can I switch groups please?" Rachel asked and tried to ignore the look Lucas had, she wasn't sure if it was annoyance that Brooke didn't want to be alone in his group or hurt but it was something.
"Umm… I don't know who to switch you with." Kevin said a little disappointed she didn't want to be in his group.
"Well I thought maybe Hank, you know so he can be with Summer, since they are you know well whatever they are." Rachel explained, and at the same time making sure Lucas knew that he had someone else that wasn't Brooke.
"Well yeah I guess." Kevin sighed "But you have to make it up to me later." He smirked getting over the hurt real quick.
"Ya'll are so dumb." Lucas said rolling his eyes.
"Hey just because you can't get your girl to talk to you doesn't mean I don't want to hang with mine." Kevin threw back.
"Whatever," Lucas snapped storming passed them and Brooke and starting to walk to the woods.
"Wow he seems pretty upset doesn't he?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah all he has been doing is mopping over Brooke, he hasn't slept really in like two days." Kevin shrugged as he went to get his group and walk off.
"Thanks for that Rach," Brooke smiled at her friend.
"No problem girl, but just so you know Kevin said Lucas is just as pathetic as you are."
"Rachel if you and your friend don't hurry your asses up I will leave ya'll! So hurry the hell up!" Lucas yelled at the two girls who just seemed to stay over by the lake.
"Did he just say you and your friend?" Brooke sighed trying to hold back a tear she felt threatening to fall.
"I'm sorry B. He is just upset." Rachel tried to reason as the girls started walking in the woods.
"Yeah doesn't mean that him saying it doesn't hurt me." Brooke sighed.
Brooke and Rachel walked with the group quietly through the woods. To say it was awkward was an understatement; Brooke was almost certain they hadn't come up with a word to describe what she was feeling right now, because uncomfortable and awkward didn't seem to describe it right.
"Aren't we supposed to be talking or something?" Rachel whispered to Brooke who shrugged.
"I don't know do you really want to talk to him?" Brooke asked, not that she didn't want to talk to him but only because he seemed like he was about to explode at any comment someone might make.
"Actually yes." Rachel answered "So Luke aren't we supposed to talk about what we are doing?"
"We are walking through the woods Rachel it's not that hard to explain." Lucas groaned not even turning around to look at the girls.
"Yeah I get that but why we doing it?" Rachel asked.
"I don't know Rachel because we are told to do it." Lucas answered annoyed, he liked Rachel he did but he wasn't in the mood. He told Brooke how he felt and she ran off which in Lucas's mind was telling him to go to hell so he really didn't want to be here doing this dumb hike, he wanted to be somewhere away from the gorgeous brunette that wouldn't leave his damn thoughts.
"What's on your mind Scott you seem to be overly broody." Rachel pointed out and saw how his body tensed up.
"Don't call me that." He snapped but still not turning to look at them.
"Call you what Scott?" Rachel asked confused.
"Rach maybe you should just leave him alone." Brooke whispered to her friend.
"No I want to know what he doesn't want me calling him, so Lucas what is it that has you so wound up what did I say?" Rachel asked again completely ignoring everyone else in the group.
"Don't Rachel, just don't." Lucas hissed at her.
"What is wrong with you Lucas?" Rachel asked again "Huh what is your problem."
"Nothing! Ok!" Lucas snapped turning to look both girls who seemed to jump back slightly at his tone "I just don't want to be on this damn hike! I don't want to be in these damn woods or around anyone! I just want this summer to end so I can go back home to my life and away from all the hell this damn summer has put me through!" he yelled "God I wished I never came to this stupid camp." He said but in more of a whisper, and more to himself.
"Why?" Brooke finally spoke her voice cracking and her body shaking.
Lucas's head shut up really quick not sure if he heard her voice, not sure if she was actually asking him why, "You're kidding me right?" he asked her in a bitter tone and she just looked down, "I'm done you do whatever." Lucas said brushing passed Brooke and walking off but not back to camp just deeper in the woods.
"That was weird," Kelly another girl in the group commented completely unaware of everything going one between Lucas and Brooke.
"Yeah well I guess we can head back now then." Rachel said and everyone just turned and started to head back to camp, everyone but Brooke who just kept her eyes focused on where Lucas walked off too. "Brooke you coming?" Rachel called.
"Yeah," Brooke whispered but staying still "I'm coming."
