"So i'm thinking about talking to Brooke today," Haley said as her and NAthan were on their way to school.

Nathan glanced at her, "Like just talking to her? OR really talking to her and becoming best friends again?"

"Being best friends again. I really miss her," Haley said.

"Thats great Hales. Maybe that will encourage Peyton too."

"Why are you all of a sudden anxious for all of us to become friends again?" Haley asked curiously.

He shrugged, "I don't know. I just want everyone to be cool with each other again. And maybe you guys will stop giving me dirty looks whenever i wanna talk to Brooke.

"I do not give you firty looks!" Haley gasped.

"You used to. But i was talking about Peyton."

"Yeaa she's still kinda pissed."

"I hope she comes around. I heard that Kyle talked to her about it though."

"Kyle's like a life saver around here isn't he?"

"You could say that. He was just always around to help people."

"I think we all are gonna need him for awhile," Haley said as they parked into school.

"Yea, especially Brooke."

"Do you ever think about Kyle and BRooke together?"

"Yea all the time," Nathan said as he helped Haley out of the car, "but they just don't realize how good they would be."

"I love Lucas, he's my best friend. But there's that connection i see between KYle and Brooke."

"I know, they've always had that. But they've still remained friends all these years."

"Maybe things will be different this year."

"Maybe."

"Nice outfit," Brooke complimented as Kyle approached her.

"Why thank you. I got the idea from my fashion adviser. Kyle was wearing his wash jeans, the white AE long sleeved shirt, he even pulled up the sleeves, and white K swisses.

"Well it looks like she did a good job," Brooke said as they walked towrds the quad.

"You don't look so bad yourself," Kyle said. Brooke was wearing dark jeans that went to the middle of her shin, a white tank top under a half cut baby blue cardigan, and black flats. Her hair was in loose curls.

"Thank you. I actually dress myself," Brooke joked.

"I'm just gonna ignore that," Kyle said as Nathan and Haley came up to them.

"Hey guys. Umm Kyle i need to talk to you real quick," Nathan said.

"Ummm okayy, i'll see you guys later," Kyle said to Brooke and Haley.

They made their way into the locker hallway.

"So whats up?"

"I just got word from one of the players that the Kodiaks have been around the mall. They might plan to make an appearance this morning."

"I can't believe it. They'll know what's gonna happen if we see them here. They're gonna get their asses kicked."

"Ky Aaron's just trying to get you psyched. Don't let him get to you."

"Nate i can't make promises. Plus it might not be Aaron i'm going after."

"Alright fine. Just try to keep your cool. And if you can't, just act like you are," Nathan joked.

"I hear what you saying," Kyle said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke and Haley stood next to each other for a few seconds until Brooke decided to talk away.

"Brooke! Can i talk to you for a sec?" Haley asked.

"Ummm sure?"

They walked to a more quieter spot in the quad and sat down.

Haley sighed, "So how've you been?"

"Alright i guess. How's the baby?"

"Tutorbaby's good. It's kicking like crazy though."

Brooke laughed.

"Look i just wanna apologize for how i've been treating you lately. I didn't really have a reason to."

"You had perfect reason. I slept with your husband and you had to see it."

"But he wasn't my husband at the time. It shouldn't matter."

"I guess not."

"So are we friends again Tigger?"

"Of course Tutormom," Brooke said as they hugged.

"So, how are things with you and Lucas?" Haley asked as they started walking around the quad.

"We're good. Taking things slow."

"Yeaa. But why did yo uget back with Lucas so soon? I thought you kinda hated him. You did slam the door in his face."

"Yeaa, but i just felt like i needed to start over. Lucas and Peyton tried, but it didn't work out. SO if me and Luke work out this time, then it was meant to be. If it doesn't, then at least it'll be because we weren't meant to be, not because there were other things in the way.

"That's pretty smart. BUt Lucas aren't thinks you guys are meant to be."

"I can't completely trust Lucas. I don't know if i'll ever."

"Then maybe he's not the one."

"Geez, are you guys trying to discourage me? Nate said the same thing to me yesterday!"

"Look, welove Lucas, but he's hurt you enough. Plus you and Peyton are the only ones he's had a serious relationship with. He hasn't really ventured out in the world."

"Yeaa maybe, but why do you guys have to point it out!" Brooke whined.

"Hey, you need to know."

"But why aren't venturing out? Lucas and Felix are the only guys i've had serious relationships with."

"Maybe you've already found your guy. I'll see ya later," and Haley walked off.

"What is with all these hints?!?!" Brooke said as she walked away also.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aaron i don't see why we have to go to their school," John said as he rode shotgun with Aaron at the wheel.

"Because it's fun to get inside their heads. Especially Kyle."

"But why, that might get him more pumped to try to beat us?" Jordan said from the backseat.

"Look don't you wanna win? Plus, you four sold him out, so why are you protecting him now?"

"Because WE didn't sell him out, AJ did," John said as he turned around and glared at AJ.

"Exactly, and im thankful for that. Now i know just how to push his buttons."

"BUt why did you have to mention Brooke?" Tommy asked.

"Because the guy has the hots for her, whether he knows it or not, i'm just using that to my advantage."

"You're just gonna talk to her right? You're not gonna hurt her or anything?" AJ asked.

"No, i'm not gonna hurt her. I'm just gonna approach her a couple of times, that'll get Kyle's blood boiling," Aaron said.

"Man you don't need to do that. Just leave Brooke alone, i don't even know why we're doing this, it's stupid," AJ said.

"Hey! I'm not the one who gave away my 'best friend's' person history alright? You should've known what you were getting yourself into when you challenged the Ravens, and you should've known that you were getting yourself when you came to me and spilled."

"But--"

"You did this AJ, not me," Aaron said as they pulled into THH, "so you guys ready?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Kyle, and Lucas were all sitting around a table, just talking.

"Hey, do you guys have any idea where Peyton is?" Haley asked.

"Probably somewhere with Jake, they're starting to become friends," Kyle answered.

"Friends, yeaa right," Nathan joked.

"Umm guys--"

"Brooke come on, it can't be that awkward talking about her is it?"

"No that's not it--"

"She'll come around Brooke, just give her some time."

"Guys!! That's not what i was talking about!" Brooke yelled.

"Well what were you talking about babe?" Lucas asked.

"THAT was what i was talking about," Brooke said pointing behind them.

Kyle and Nathan turned around and saw a black Mustang pull up in the parking lot. Five guys got out and started walking towards the campus.

"It was only a matter of time," Kyle said, standing up.

"Man, why did they have to come here?" Brooke asked.

"They just want to scare us," Lucas said as he kissed the top of Brooke's head.

"No, they wanna scare me," Kyle said, "but they're kind of doing a bad job."

By now the whole school had noticed the five guys walking towards them. The basketball team had assembled simultaneously, like they were ready if something were to happen.

"Remember what i said," Nathna whispered to Kyle.

"Yep, stay cool."

Aaron was standing in front of him, with the other guys behind him.

"Well, isn't this a surprise," Nathan said.

"I guess so. We just thougth we'd visit our opponents before the next game," Aaron sneered.

"Yeaa, well you did your visiting, now leave," Lucas said.

Aaron ignored what Lucas said and looked past him and smiled, "Brooke Davis, i don't believe we've met."

Brooke just rolled her eyes, she was used to guys like this by now.

"You heard Lucas, leave," Kyle said.

"I'm not doing anything wrong. I just wanted to compliment her cheering skills. I especially enjoyed her routine at halftime."

Lucas tried to step closer, but Kyle put his hand in front of him.

"If that's all you came here for, then you can leave now Morgan."

"Actually Sammet, i also came here to see you before tomorrow night's game. We haven't really had time to catch up. I mean, out last encounter didn't go so well, you kind of overreacted with the mention of Ally."

"Cut the crap. Just say what you want to say and leave."

"Kyle--"

"Stay out of this John," Kyle said coldly.

"We just wanted to see you guys, But i can see we're not wanted, so we'll leave," Aaron said as they turned around to leave.

Nathan and Kyle turned away from them while Brooke and Haley walked towards the locker hallways.

"Hey guys wait for me in the car," Aaron said as he ran towards the locker hallway.

"That guy was such a jerk," Haley said as they went to their lockers.

"I know, i now knwo why Ky hates him so much," Brooke said.

"Talking about me?"

Brooke and Haley whipped around and Aaron was standing in front of them.

"You shouldn't be here," Haley stammered.

"I know, i just wanted to see you guys before i left," Aaron sneered.

"Yea, well you saw us, so beat it creep," Brooke said, her bitch mode coming in.

"Fiesty aren't we?"

"Dude i can't believe that guy," Nathan said.

"Yeaa, everytime i see him i hate him more."

"Kyle!" JOrdan yelled.

"Jordan, it's not a good idea for you to be here," Kyle warned.

"No, i mean i know! But Aaron just snuck into the hallway!"

"Haley and Brooke aren't here," Nathan whispered.

They looked at each other and ran towards the hallway.

"Now i see why KYle came back. I would too if i knew a girl like you would be here," Aaron said as he walked closer to Brooke.

"Yea, i've heard worse come ons."

"Yea? Well you haven't seen nothing," Aaron said as he reached to touch her face. All of a sudden he felt someone grab the back of his clothes.

Kyle had grabbed Aaron's back and slammed him against the opposite wall of lockers. Aaron tried to get out of it, but Kyle was too strong.

"I thought i told you to leave," KYle said, still holding Aaron agains the lockers.

"Just wanted to say hi," Aaron sneered.

"Yea? Well don't," Kyle said, "and stay away from here."

"Stay away from here, or stay away from Brooke?" Aaron whispered so only Kyle could hear him.

"Both," Kyle said before shoving Aaron one mroe time before letting him go.

Aaron just smirked, "See you on the court Kyle," and walked away.

Part of the school had formed in the hallway, the other half pushing to get a glipse of what was going on.

Kyle rolled his eyes and turned towards Brooke, "Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"Yeaa, i'm fine."

"He didn't touch you or anything did he?"

"He tried, but i think you got here in time."

"Man Kyle, you had him," Nathan said.

Haley gave him a stern look, "I mean, yeaa it was good, but you shouldn't fight."

Kyle smiled, "Yea i kept my cool until that point."

"Well i was right," Brooke said.

Kyle looked at her confused.

"What?"

"Your muscles do look more showable in that shirt."

They all laughed as the bell rang. Everybody scattered to their lockers or to their classes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan and Kyle walked into English Lit.

"Aaron's not gonna back down is he?" Nathan asked.

"Nope," Kyle replied as they both sat down.

"He's gonna try to keep getting to you isn't he?"

"Yup."

"So you might end up kicking his ass before the final game?"

"Yeaa pretty much," Kyle said as class started.
