Brooke woke up the next morning. She was all packed, she checked over to make sure she had everything. She called Hailey and Payton. They were all to meet at Brooke's house. Brooke was out on her porch and she smiled when she saw Payton and Hailey pull up. They unloaded their cars and piled everything into Brooke's Lexis 2500i. Brooke got into the drivers seat. Her parents were out of town. Normally Brooke would have had a party but going on a school trip was just as good. Hailey and Payton piled into the car. Payton was in the front seat. And Hailey was in the back. Brooke was doing fine driving to the school until she looked at Payton and turned around.
"Uh, Where are we going?" Hailey asked. Payton smiled as they entered the Country Fair parking lot.
"Time for cappuccino's!" Brooke said and made her way inside. She got some French Vanilla and got some for Hailey and Payton. They paid for the drinks and got back into their car. Brooke got them to the school in time. Lucas, Jake and Nathan made it in time too. They were standing together. Brooke approached them and smiled. So, what are the seating arrangements, any changes?" Lucas looked at Nathan and Jake. "No, I'm sitting with Jake!" Nathan said. "And, I'm with Payton!" Hailey said. "So, that leaves us still!" Brooke groveled. They all got on the bus and Brooke put on her headphones and listened to music. Payton and Hailey talked the entire time and then listened to music. Brooke's CD player died and she asked Lucas if he had any extra. When she turned to look at Lucas she saw things she'd never seen about him before. He was sitting there in a polo shirt. His green eyes took her breath away and his soft lips. All Brooke could think about then was Lucas. She could feel his breath when he turned towards her.
"Brooke, what do you want, its not like I wanted to sit with you either?" He realized she was staring at him. "Why are you staring at me?" Brooke shook her head. "Oh, Lucas, my batteries died for my CD player, do you have any extra?" Lucas searched through his bag and when he bent down she realized how good he smelled. When he leaned back into his seat, their lips were so close, she could feel his breath. He leaned in just a little bit and Brooke closed her eyes. "No! I don't have any extras!" Brooke opened her eyes and slapped him.
"Funny Lucas." Brooke said. "You know, you could get any girl that you wanted and yet you're single!" Brooke said. Lucas turned and looked at her. He looked sad. Then he looked down at the floor of the bus. "No," Lucas said, "I can't get one girl, I didn't get you!" Lucas said and looked back at her.
"Lucas-" Lucas put an arm around her shoulder and leaned in. Brooke leaned in too and closed her eyes. Brooke and Lucas could feel each other's breath on their lips. Getting closer and closer.
