Author's Note: Hey, all. Thank you so much for all the great reviews for the last chapter, they were all great. I decided I'd update this on since it is Thanksgiving weekend here and I have absolutely nothing to do. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy and continue to review.

..........FYITM..........

"Okay, class," the teacher, Miss Lake called out to the room full of noisy teenagers. Most of the students quieted down as she walked to the front of the class with a big stack of papers in her hands. "It's time to start a new project, our last one of the year."

"Oh, come on, Miss," Tim groaned from his spot at the back with the rest of the jocks. "Didn't we just finish one yesterday?"

"Yes, Timothy, we did," she smirked back at him, knowing that he hated it when she called him by his fill name. The rest of the class laughed at him and turned back to the teacher. They were used to the usual puns exchanged between the two, so they didn't take them too serious. "Now it's time for a new one."

"It wouldn't be on sleeping by any chance, would it?"

"And how would that be educational?

"We could sleep for a few days straight and see what it does to us," Nathan answered from his spot beside Tim. Brooke looked back at him and a look of disgust came to her face. She hated him, both Scott brothers. Nathan was dating Peyton and she thought that Lucas was dating Theresa this week, or maybe Bevin, she couldn't keep track anymore.

"Maybe you should talk to your science teacher about that one, Mr. Scott," she replied with a polite smile. "However, this is Personal Relations class so I don't think we can fit that little experiment into our curriculum."

"We could if we tried really hard," Lucas added in. Miss Lake glared at the three of them in the back before turning her attention back to the rest of the class.

"I'm sure you'll be happy to know that you will be doing this project in partners," she began. Brooke immediately turned around and smiled at Haley, telling her that they would be work together. Haley nodded her head, finding it funny that Brooke still asked. Of course they would be partners.

"Can I work with you, Miss?" Tim asked in his usual perverted tone. She took a deep breath, trying to keep her temper under control and ignored his question.

"As I was saying," she continued. "You can pick your partners, only one, there will be now groups of three. Once everyone is paired up I will explain the rest of the assignment."

The classroom suddenly erupted in noise as students got out of their desks to go find a partner. Brooke stood up and grabbed her stuff to bring over to Haley's desk when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and frowned when she saw who it was, Nathan Scott.

"Hey, Brooke," he greeted in the voice that she swore he reversed especially for her. She tried her best to choke down her hate for him and gave him a tight smile, before starting to turn away.

"Nathan," she replied back in a snappy tone. Haley watched the exchange with somewhat mild amusement. She knew how much Brooke hated Nathan and she still found it funny that he had no idea.

"I was wondering if you had a partner?" Brooke stopped in her tracks, but didn't turn around. Did Nathan Scott just ask her to work with him? She smiled sweetly at Haley and turned around to smile at Nathan.

"Me?" she questioned in fake shock. "You want to work with me?" Nathan gave her that cocky smirk he always had plastered on his face and nodded his head. "Why aren't you working with your wife over there?"

"Tim?" he asked in disgust. He shook his head. "He's a dumbass. It won't do me any good to work with him, and then I'll be the smart one. Trust me, it's a sad day when I'm the smart one in a paring."

"You might wanna work on your sales pitch," she suggested, patting him on the arm a couple times. "I do sympathize with you, I really do, but I got a partner already. It kind of comes with the best friend territory, you know?"

"Oh," was all Nathan said. He looked around the room and didn't spot anyone from the cheerleading team there. "And who would that be?" Brooke smiled up at him with fake sweetness and slowly turned around, making sure to add an extra bounce in her step, and walked over to sit with Haley.

"Sorry, Nate," she called once she was seated and noticed that he was still staring after him. Nathan was more than a little confused at what just happened. First, did a girl just turn him down? And second, is Brooke Davis really best friends with Tutor Freak? He shook his head, muttered something under his breath and stalked back over to his seat beside Tim.

"I think you hurt his feelings," Haley teased as they watched Nathan brood in his seat. Brooke glanced over her shoulder and shrugged, feeling no sympathy for him.

"Then good for me, right?" she asked. "I mean, he's been nothing but a complete jackass to you since freshman year and he actually thought I'd pair up with him?"

"That's why you hate him?" Haley knew that Brooke hated Nathan, everyone but Nathan seemed to know that, but she never knew why. Haley just assumed he had turned her down for Peyton at one point or something. She never thought it was over something that he did to her. "Because he was mean to me?"

"That's not a good enough reason?" Brooke questioned. "It's rule number one in the Best Friend's Handbook, okay. I'm supposed to hate anyone that's rude to you, and if Nathan Scott doesn't fit perfectly into that category, than I don't know who does."

"I can think of a few," Haley mumbled under her breath. Haley was pretty much used to the daily remarks she received from other kid's at the school and she knew that Brooke would go crazy if she was told about half the things that people said to her, so she just kept her mouth shut.

"You just name them and I got the rest covered." Before Haley had a chance to respond, Miss Lake walked back to the front of the class.

"Everyone have a partner?" she asked the class. When she received a yes from everyone, she pulled up her stool and took a seat. "Now, can anyone guess what this project will be about?"

"Human sexuality?" Tim blurted out.

"That would be your wishful thinking, Mr. Smith," she responded with a friendly smirk. She really didn't like him even if she pretended that she did. She was just so happy that she was finally going to be rid of him soon enough. "Anyone else?"

"Background?"

"Sort of," she answered, happy that a least one student in her class paid some attention to what she taught. "This project is going to be done in different steps. If everything goes according to plan, it should last us to the end of the year."

"Will this be on the exam?" asked Haley.

"Actually, this is the exam." This earned her a lot of confused looks from the kids so she hurried to explain. "On exam day, instead of writing an exam, you'll all be doing a presentation on what you've learned."

"That's killer," Tim exclaimed. Nothing made him happier than not having to study for something. "So what's the deal with this first step or whatever?"

"I was just getting to that," she snipped at him in annoyance. Sensing her the anger in her tone, he smiled at her. "Who here has important plans this weekend?" Most of the students raise their hands. "Great. Cancel them."

"And why would we do that?" Lucas questioned. He was one of the biggest partiers in the school, aside from his brother and Brooke, so if someone asked him to give up his chance at a night out, they were crazy.

"Because you will be tied up," she explained with a smirk. She reached behind her to dig into her bag and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "Literally."

"Bondage fun!" Tim cheered with a horny look on his face. "Finally, coming to school has paid off. Choosing to ignore his rude outburst, she rolled her eyes and addressed the rest of the class.

"Starting after school today, you and your partner will be handcuffed together for the entire weekend." She grabbed a hold of the handle of her bag and pulled it up to sit on the desk in front of her. "You will all come back here after school so I can lock you up."

"What is the point of this?" Nathan asked, eyeing the medal bracelets that Miss Lake was holding up. He glanced over at Tim and grimaced. He was not looking forward to being attached to Tim for 48 hours. Sure, he was his best friend, but he could only take so much Tim tine.

"To learn more about each other," she explained. "I let you all pick your partners because I figured you pick the person you are closest to in the class. In putting you together for a weekend, I'm hoping it will give you a chance to understand more about that person."

"So this is all weekend?" Nathan questioned. Miss Lake nodded. "I'm not sharing a bed with him!" The rest of the class started arguing and talking amongst themselves. Brooke watched them for a moment, not understanding what the big deal was. She'll get to spend the whole weekend with her best friend in the whole world. Where was the bad in that?

"This should be fun," Brooke giggled, nudging Haley with her elbow. Haley laughed at the expression on Brooke's face and nodded. She didn't know what it was or how she did it, but every time Brooke laughed it seemed to be contagious.

"A blast."

"So, you're bed or mine?"
