Hey! I'm back! I hope you're all still reading my story, cuz I know I kept you waiting for a long time. But if you review, I'll write the next one REALLY fast! Promise! Love And Kisses!

A lot of lying and crying

I reluctantly entered the gym, grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor. A loud sigh escaped from my mouth. Just three more months... I thought to myself. That thought actually really wasn't that comforting.

I looked up when I heard the door slam loudly.

"This cannot be happening!" Nathan yelled in my direction.

I couldn't help but smile but cleared my troath to sound determined.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" he yelled, this time right in my face.

I laughed. "What's wrong with me? What the hell is from with you?! I mean, what are you, five years old?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nathan smirked.

I snorted and shook my head.

"Let's just get this over with." I whispered, while handing him a broom.

Nathan threw the broom on the ground and walked over to the door.

"I'll tell that idiot of a principal where he can stick his broom." he mumbled.

"You know, if you're gonna be a tough guy, he could suspend you from all curricular activities. And I wonder what yours is... something involving a hoop, right?" I smiled.

He stopped at the door and sighed.

"If you talk to me, you're dead." he frowned, while turning around.

I laughed. "You're quite a catch, Scott. Haley is such a lucky girl."

He looked up from his swooping and bit his lip.

"Me and Haley are none of your business." he hissed.

"I believe it's Haley and I, you idiot, and Haley is my best friend. So I kinda think it is my business."

"Well, dummy, I think it would be best for all of us if you just wouldn't think at all. Cuz clearly, you need to know your place."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"My place?" I asked daringly.

"Yeah, your place... don't you get it? I'm better than you. And that counts for everyting. I'm better at basketball, I'm richer, I'm much more goodlooking and, I'm better with Haley." he stated.

"Whatever you say," I mumbled.

In the remaining time, we didn't talk to eachother anymore.

I left the gym and noticed Brooke still being in school.

She walked up to me and I smiled.

She had a sad look on her face.

"Hi." she smiled reluctantly.

I gave her a nod.

"Would you walk me to my car, I need to talk to you."

I followed her as she started to walk faster.

"You need to understand, Lucas, I'm with Chase." she explained. "I love him. He's my boyfriend. I told him you kisse... I told him we kissed, and he forgave me. So, you see, he really loves me."

She looked me in the eye and raised her eyebrows.

We had reached her car, so she started searching for her carkeys.

"Would you please say something?" she asked after about five minutes of silence.

"What do you want me to say, Brooke? That I'm fine with that? That I'll leave you alone? Well, fine, good luck with everything and have fun with Chase." I yelled.

She nervously played with her keys and tried to look anywhere but in my direction.

"I love you." I whispered.

She sobbed and stared at the sky.

"Shut up, Lucas. I'm in love with Chase, not with you." she cried.

"I know that's a lie and so do you!" I yelled.

Tears were running down her cheek as she got in her car.

"Just leave me alone, okay? Please, don't make this any harder on me than it already is." she practically begged me.

She drove away and left me standing there like an idiot.

I knew she loved me. I knew she knew it too. But what could I do?

Suddenly Haley walked up to me.

"Where have you been?" she asked, "I've been sitting here for like an hour, waiting for you."

I shrugged. "Brooke needed to talk to me."

Tears were burning in my eyes.

"Oh... " she sighed. "I'm sorry, Luke."

She hugged me.

Nathan came over to us. Apparently he had stayed in the gym until now.

"Oh, hey!" Haley smiled.

She let go of me and again I felt like an idiot.

A second choice.

"Oh, Hales, I, uh, I can't come over tonight." he stuttered.

Hales?

Only I got to call her Hales.

Haley pouted. "But you said you... "

"I know what I said." he interrupted her. "But there has been a change of plans and I'm busy."

She frowned.

Nathan noticed the look on her face and smiled gently.

"I'm sorry, but something came up."

"What came up?" she asked.

He bit his lip and stared at me.

I immediately understood.

He was such an ass.

"My mom... she asked me to clean up my room."

Haley raised her eyebrows.

"Tonight?"

"Yeah, she got really mad and everything... "

Haley nodded, but you could see the disbelief in her eyes.

"Fine." she mumbled and turned around.

Nathan seemed really sad, but I couldn't help but smirk.

He noticed and pointed his finger at me.

"You'll pay for your little prank, asshole."

I nodded friendly and ran up to Haley.

She was walking really fast.

I noticed her sobbing a little.

"He's hiding something, Luke. " she cried.

I didn't know what to say.

She looked at me.

"Do you have any idea what it could be?" she asked.

Her big brown eyes were filled with tears and the sight reminded me a lot of Bambi.

"No..." I lied. "But it's probably nothing."

"You think?" she asked hopeful.

"Yeah." I smiled, while wrapping my arm around her. "It'll be alright."

"Of course." she whispered to comfort herself.

I felt terrible but I had to keep smiling.

It was for her own good that she didn't know the truth.

Or at least I thought it was...

I hope you liked it and I REALLY hope you review! Pretty please? I WILL write faster if you review! Xxxxxx.
