Lucas walked to up to Peyton and Jake at the lunch table and said, "Hey think you two can breathe on your own while I am in your presence." Peyton stopped kissing Jake and turned to let to give him a smart ass smirk.
Peyton remarked, "Well what has crawled up your ass and died today?"
Lucas responded, "Well let's see my ex-girlfriend is flaunting around with my half brother and wants to be friends again, and then my current girlfriend isn't going to be back any time soon."
Peyton gasped, "You talked to Haley?"
Lucas answered, "Yeah I just got off the phone with her. The show got extended so that means it will be a couple more months."
About ten or twenty feet away stood some of the basketball players and the cheerleaders. Brooke had just got some exciting news and squealed very loudly. Lucas, Peyton, and Jake turned and looked at them and saw Brooke doing her little happy dance that she does.
Jake asked, "So you and Brooke actually had a conversation?" Lucas gave him a 'don't go there' look. Peyton smiled sweetly while Jake laughed, "What it was just a question."
Brooke looked at Nathan and exclaimed, "I have to go tell P. Sawyer about this!" Brooke took off in Peyton's direction she was fully aware that Lucas was there, but she could not wait for him to leave to tell Peyton. "P. Sawyer you will never guess the exciting news I have!"
Lucas groaned and Peyton whispered, "Be nice." She looked up as soon as Brooke approached the table and replied, "You're right I probably won't, so you should just tell me."
Brooke stated, "I just got word that the Sparkle is going to be in New York City and we're going to be there a whole two weeks. How kick ass is that!"
Lucas' eyes widen and turned to her and questioned, "Are you serious?"
Brooke looked at him and remarked, "Broody come on do you really think I would joke about going to the Big Apple. I don't think so."
Peyton knew what Lucas was so excited about and looked at Brooke. "That's great B. Davis I guess that means a huge shopping spree for you."
Brooke exclaimed, "Absolutely! I will have to bring empty suitcases just to bring all that I buy there."
Nathan decided to walk over and join the group he was nervous about leaving Brooke alone with Lucas around for too long. Fear of him being a jerk to her; which is something Nathan wouldn't stand for. Nathan said, "So when practice starts today we have to practice until we're dead. It would be sad to get all the way to New York and play in the Knicks court and suck."
Lucas pressed his lips together and took a deep breath, "Nate is right Jake we got to practice hard."
Jake nodded and spoke, "Well don't need to worry I have a feeling we will be just fine"
Nathan replied, "We better be."
Brooke stated, "You guys will and the cheerleaders will be practicing just as hard if not more."
Peyton mumbled, "Oh the joy."
Brooke looked at Peyton and puzzled, "What was that P. Sawyer?"
Peyton blushed as the boys smirked at her and answered, "What a joy. I said it's going to be great getting ready for this competition."
Brooke got all smug like and replied, "Of course it is."
