Walks over to radio.
Do you mind?
Turns it down.
Peyton
Be my guest.
Brook
Sits down on bed.
Talked to Lucas lately?
Peyton
Continues drawing.
No, why?

Peyton
So?
Brook
So? Aren't you worried?
Peyton
Nope, not at all.
Pause. Stops drawing and looks at Brook.
Why do you ask?
Brook
No reason.

What?
Peyton
Come on, Brook.
Brook
Well, they're getting kind of close.
Peyton
So?
Brook
So…just warning you. I know you like him. You can't hide it from me Peyton.
Peyton
Whatever Brook.
Brooks mouth drops.
Brook
Don't whatever me, you whore.
Grabs pillow from Peyton's bed and throws it at her. Peyton laughs.
Peyton
Hey.

Hey, face it, he's a hottie.

Umm…Haley recommended the place to me.
Lucas
You know Haley?
Casey

Lucas
One latte coming right up.
Starts walking, but turns back around.
Oh yea.
Grabs a paper from underneath the counter. Slides it to Casey.
Casey
What's this?
Lucas
They're having auditions for a new musical. I was thinking that maybe you could try out for the lead.
Casey reads paper.
Casey
Laughs
West Side Story? I can't do this. You have to be really good.
Lucas
And you are.
Grabs Styrofoam cup and starts pouring latte.
From what I heard today, you'd be perfect for the part.
Casey
Lucas, what about basketball? I can't do both.
Lucas
Sure you can. Practices are at completely different times. There's only one performance during a game. I'm sure you can miss one game can't you?
Casey
Not with my dad.
Lucas put top on Latte.
Lucas
At least try.
Places Latte in front of Casey. Casey looking at paper.
Casey
It would be fun.
Lucas
So?
They look at each other.

Okay, I'll try out for right now. Just an audition. ' Cause you know I may not even get the part.
Lucas
Okay, okay. Gotta start somewhere.
Casey smiles and stands up.
Casey
How do I owe you?
Lucas
It's all right. On the house. Just think of it as a good luck gift for your audition.
They both smile.
Casey
Thanks Lucas. I'll see you later.
