Author's Note: Hey, everyone. Sorry that I've never updated this before, I just kind of forgot all about it. I know that most of you are probably reading my other Baley fanfic; Who Would Have Thought, but I'm sort of having writer's block on that one at the moment, and since I haven't really gotten that far on this one, it's a lot easier to write this one. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy and please tell me what you think.

"So, what does the almighty Brooke Davis have planned for this weekend of all weekends?" Haley asked as she and Brooke made their way into the front of the school. It was finally Friday, which signaled the end of another hellish week at Tree Hill High.
"I'm not sure yet," she answered back, pulling on Haley's arm to lead them towards her locker. "I haven't quite decided what I want to do." She unlocked the door and started piling her books inside.
"Are you telling me that Ms. Popular doesn't have any plans for a Friday night?" Haley questioned, pretending to be shocked. Brooke flashed her one of her classic smiles; the ones that show off her adorable dimples that can make most grown men go weak in the knees.
"You just give me time, Huggie," Brooke assured her. She didn't know where it came from, but all of a sudden she was calling Haley by her childhood nickname again. "I'll have us invited to the best party by the end of second period." Haley raised an eyebrow at her best friend as Brooke checked herself out in the mirror she had on her locker door.
"Us?" Haley repeated, confused at Brooke's sudden need to include Haley in all her teenage rebellion. "When did partying stop becoming a 'Brooke thing' and start becoming a 'Brooke and Haley thing'?"
"Since this weekend," Brooke cheered, tossing the lip-gloss to Haley and opening the locker door so she could use the mirror. Haley had to smile when she saw all the pictures of her and Brooke plastered all over the inside of the locker. Haley's locker looked almost identical to Brooke's just with different pictures.
"What's this weekend?"
"It marks the end of May," Brooke explained, taking the makeup back from Haley and putting it back in her bag. With one last look at herself in the mirror, she closed the metal door and the two began to walk again.
"And that means what to me..."
"That there is only one more month of school left," Brooke informed her. As much as she loved having Haley all to herself, she didn't want to be Haley's only link to the outside world. It scared her sometimes thinking about Haley locked up in her room all the time. "High school is almost over Hales."
"Um, Bunny?" Haley laughed, also confused at the sudden overuse of Brooke's nickname. Brooke glanced over at her. "We're only Junior, we still have another year in this hell hole."
"Well, still," Brooke insisted, shaking her head at her on mistake. "That means that high school is more than half done, therefore it is almost over." Brooke smiled proudly, happy with her logic. Haley laughed and rolled her eyes. There was no use arguing with Brooke, they always ended up both confused.
"Whatever," Haley mumbled, bumping her hip into Brooke's. "Did you have a point you were trying to make, or were you just babbling."
"I had a point," Brooke assured her, but her voice wasn't that confident. "I don't remember it now, but I swear I had one." Haley smiled at the typical attitude of her best friend. There was nothing that made her feel better than just talking and goofing around with Brooke. It just showed that some things never change.
"Sure you did," Haley teased, eyeing the other brunette like she was crazy. Brooke stuck her tongue out at her and playfully pushed her. They finally reached the gym doors. "Have fun cheerleading."
"Have fun reading," Brooke shoot back. It was their usual schedule that they had to make up when Brooke made the cheerleading squad. Brooke had practice every Tuesday and Friday mornings before school and almost every Wednesday after school. Since Brooke was Haley's ride to school, Haley just hung around in the library if she didn't have a tutoring session with anyone.
"I will," Haley laughed as she started walking towards the library. Brooke watched after her.
"See you in first period," she called after her. She saw Haley wave absently, already engrossed in her book. Brooke laughed and pushed open the doors to the girls' change room. The familiar sounds of gossip immediately filled her ears as she wandered through to find the rest of the squad.
"Can you believe him?" questioned Peyton, her voice sounding completely in distressed. Brooke rolled her eyes, knowing she was just being a drama queen, that's what Peyton Sawyer was best at after all.
"That is so not fair," Theresa agreed, always the first to kiss the blonde's ass. Even thought Brooke was the caption of the squad, Theresa never bothered to kiss up to her, but chose Peyton instead. Brooke never did figure it out, but she was thankful for it anyway.
"I know," Peyton sighed in defeat. "I mean, a tutor? Seriously? That is worse than a regular geek. At least regular geeks stick to themselves, but tutors are, like, trying to spread their geekdom to others." Brooke didn't know whether to laugh at the seriousness in Peyton's voice or yell at her for making fun of her best friend.
"Who'd you get?"
"Haley James," Peyton answered in a disgusted voice. Brooke's ears perked up as she pulled up her skirt. She shoved her clothes in her gym locker and turned around to see what else Peyton had to say about Haley.
"I've never heard of her," Theresa commented. Not many people knew that much about Haley, she was just that really smart girl they sat in the corner all the time and only spoke when she was spoken to. "Who is she?"
"She's the biggest loser in this school," Bevin exclaimed before Peyton had the chance to. "Have you seen what she wears? I swear that girl is a first class immigrant from Ewwtown."
"Excuse me?" Brooke finally spoke up from her position behind them. None of them knew that she was in there yet or they would have said hello already. They all jumped and turned around to see a very pissed off Brooke standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at all of them.
"Oh, hey, Brookie," Bevin greeted waving at her. Brooke cringed at the name, only Haley was allowed to call her that. "We were just discussing Pey's horrible fate with Ms. Freak Haley James. You know her?"
"Yeah, she's my best friend," Brooke stated. The squad looked at her like she was crazy before that started laughing. Brooke Davis, the most popular girl in school was best friends with Haley James? That couldn't be possible.
"Yeah, okay."
"I'm serious," Brooke restated. They soon realized from the look on her face that she wasn't kidding. She shook her head and glared at them. "Practice is cancelled, I'm suddenly not in the mood to hang around any of you."
"You've never cancelled practice before," Peyton pointed out, surprised at Brooke's attitude.
"Well, there's a first time for everything," Brooke reminded them. She stalked back over to her locker and grabbed her clothes. Once they were in her hands she turned back around. "Oh and Peyton?"
"Yeah?"
"When you're with Haley," she warned. "If you say one mean thing to her, you're off the squad, got it?" Peyton's eyes widened and she nodded her head quickly. Nothing was more important to her than cheerleading, and Brooke knew that. With more glare, Brooke left the change room and walked towards the library. She pushed the swinging double doors open and spotted Haley sitting alone on the couch by the window. Haley heard footsteps and looked up, surprised to find Brooke in her uniform.
"Bunny?" She put the bookmark in her book and laid it on her lap.
"Hey, Huggie," Brooke smiled, flopping down on the couch beside her best friend. She curled her legs up under her and laid her head on Haley's shoulder.
"What are you doing here?" Haley questioned, looking down at Brooke. "Why aren't you at practice?" Brooke shrugged her shoulders and looked up at Haley with puppy dog eyes and flashed her a bright smile.
"I'd rather hang here with you."
