Okay, so you don't have to like it, but I'd really like a review, so I know what you guys want to see and everything. Anyway, here's your update; I hope you enjoy it.

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

"Hey, Brooke." Brooke turned around as she was walking out of her last period class when she heard her name being called. She spotted Felix making his way over to her. She rolled her eyes and groaned; she hated him. If it were possible, she hated him more than she hated Nathan.

"Felix," she mumbled when he was just a few feet away. He laid a hand on her back and led her out of the doorway so they could talk. She immediately squirmed out of his grip and turned to face him, her disgust for him could be read clearly. "What do you want?"

"I love that about you," Felix commented, giving her that smile that he thought made all the girl's weak in the knees. She tried to control the sudden urge to hurl all over his shoes. "I like a girl that's not afraid to call 'em like she sees 'em."

"Okay," she said, her scowl turning into a sweet smile. She leaned forward, slowing running her finger down his chest before taking a handful of his shirt and pulling him towards her so she could whisper in his ear. She felt him shiver when he felt her breath tickle his neck. "This shirt makes you look gay."

"Wha..." he mumbled, surprised by the words. She laughed, roughly pushing him away from her and smiling at him. It took him a moment to recover before he straightened his shirt out and swung his bag over his shoulder again. "So, I wanted to ask you something."

"Make it quick," she ordered, all the fake sweetness completely disappearing from her voice and face. She was hoping he would have gotten the message from her display just a moment ago, but she really should have known better. He had some strange notion that she wanted him and it was really starting to get on her nerves.

"Well, I noticed that your parents aren't home..."

"They're never home," she pointed out dryly, wanting him to get to his point as soon as possible. She really didn't want to be talking to him, she wanted to go find Haley, but for some reason, God felt that she needed to be punished.

"I was wondering if you wanted to get together tonight?" he asked, ignoring her comment. He looked her up and down and she almost shivered at the attention. He was such a creep and she felt sick just being in his presence. There was no way in Heaven or Hell that she would ever touch him let alone spend an entire night with him voluntarily.

"Sorry, I've got plans with a girlfriend," she answered with a smirk. As if she was listening to the whole conversation, Haley suddenly appeared just down the hall. She spotted Brooke talking to Felix and had to stop the smirk from coming to her face. She knew how much Brooke hated him and couldn't imagine how mad she was right now. So, being the dutiful best friend that she was, she made her way over to the pair to rescue her buddy.

"Hey, guys," she greeted with wave, immediately moving to Brooke's side. Brooke almost sighed with relief at the eight of Haley, but manage to hold it in. Felix on the other hand, was annoyed at her presence and was trying to figure out why she was there in the first place. "What's up?"

"Excuse me," he snipped rudely, eyeing Haley. Both girls looked at him to see what his problem was. "We were just making plans to go out tonight. So, if you don't mind, can you please get lost? Go to the library or something. That's where you people like to go isn't it?"

"Oh," was all Haley said. As much as his words hurt, it was worth it because she knew what was coming next. She glanced over and saw the enraged look on Brooke's face and couldn't help the smirk that came to her lips. She didn't know what she would do without Brooke.

"Look, Felix," Brooke began, stepping away from Haley so she was closer to the boy in front of them. "Here's a little bit of advice. Next time you want to get with a girl, it's probably not a good idea to be rude to her best friend." She looked back at Haley and grabbed her hand, pulling her forward and wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Oh, I didn't... I wasn't sure..."

"Bye now," Brooke cheered, cutting him off before he continued with his babbling. They both laughed at the expression on his face as they walked over with their arms linked. Once they were around the corner, they soon broke down in giggles, finding it funny that the great Felix was speechless.

"Did you see his face, Bunny?" Haley laughed, pumping hips with her as they continued walking. It kind of hurt that he found it so surprising that she could possible be friends with someone as amazing as Brooke, but it wasn't like it was the first time the thought had crossed her mind. "That was priceless."

"It certainly was," Brooke agreed. She knew that Haley was a little hurt, but she was just glad that she wasn't openly upset about it. She was happy that Haley was starting to worry less about what other people think. "But he's a jerk, Huggie. I'm just glad that he's finally been put in his place. Hopefully."

"But it's Felix," Haley pointed out, smiling slightly at Brooke's attempt to be slick about telling her not to care about what Felix thinks. "He's never really been able to take a hint."

"This is true," Brooke agreed, nodding her head. Deciding that she didn't want to take about her stalker any longer, she changed the subject. "I just got to stop off at my locker and then we can head upstairs to get our purtty new bracelets, kay?"

"Sure." They rounded the corner and headed to Brooke's locker. "So, what's the plan for that, anyway? We never did decide if we wanted to stay at me house or yours. I mean, both our parental units are going to be away so it doesn't really matter, right."

"But Felix will be home," Brooke pointed out as they stopped in front of her locker. She quickly opened, swung her bag to her front and started piling her books inside. "And since I have no desire to see him every time I look out a window, we'll crashing at your house. Besides, I love your house. It's more homey."

"You mean, small?" Haley asked with a smile. It was never really a big deal that their parents made a different amount of money. Brooke lived in the biggest mansion in Tree Hill, just a few acres bigger than the Scott mansion, while Haley lived in a little house with two bathrooms and three bedrooms.

"I mean, homey," Brooke restated. Before Haley had a chance to respond, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and smiled when she saw Jake standing there, a guy from the basketball team that she used to tutor.

"Hey, Jake," she greeted with a warm smile. She always liked Jake, he was so sweet. He wasn't like any of the other guys on the team, he never said anything rude to her or looked down on her. They would always talk about stuff when they were done the lesson for the day. He was probably the only other person besides Brooke that she would consider to be a friend.

"Hey, Haley," he replied, smiling back at her. Brooke watched the exchange out of the corner of her eye, trying to see if Jake was really being nice to her or just doing something that was ordered by Nathan. "I haven't seen you in a while, I just wanted to see how you were."

"That's so sweet of you," she gushed. Brooke rolled her eyes at Haley's horrible attempt at flirting. Brooke loved Haley to death, but she couldn't flirt for the life of her. "I was just thinking about you." It took everything in Brooke's power not to clap her hand over Haley's mouth to shut her up.

"That's good to know," Jake said back with a sickeningly sweet tone in his voice. Brooke shook her head, ashamed at their actions. "I really miss hanging out with you." Brooke stopped her movements at the words for a spilt second before getting her composure back. She glanced over at them and saw the smiles plastered on both their faces and was confused at the feelings that started in her gut.

"Aw, I really miss hanging out with you too." Brooke tried to shake off the feeling as she finished with her books and checked her face in the mirror before shutting the door and leaning against it.

"Maybe we should hang out sometime," Jake suggested. A smile that lit up Haley's entire face appeared on her lips and she had to stop herself from giggling. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought that he was asking her out on a date.

"I'd really like that," she answered, just barely able to contain the giggle. Brooke watched them with uneasy eyes, trying to figure out what the new feelings were that were stirring at watching her best friend getting asked out. She wasn't sure what it was, but she knew that she didn't like it.

"I'll give you a call then." Jake smiled at her and nodded in Brooke's direction, before taking off down the hall. Haley watched after him for a moment before turning around to face Brooke, a smile of pure ecstasy on her face.

"Oh my God," she squealed, clapping her hands together in an excited manner. "Can you believe what just happened? He was so sweet and I've never been on a date before, but you know that. God, I hope he calls." She was neither jumping up and down when she noticed that Brooke wasn't paying attention to her. "Brookie? Brooke, do you even know what just happened?"

"Huh?" Brooke asked, finally coming out of her trance. She looked over at Haley and almost flinched at the bright smile that lit up her face. And the realization that Jake was responsible for putting it there just seemed to make it worse. Who did he think he was, anyway? Where did he get the nerve to just walk up and take her Haley away like that... 'Oh, God,' Brooke thought when it finally hit her. 'I'm jealous.'

"You okay, Bunny?" Haley asked, noticing the strange look on Brooke's face. She hadn't said anything for a few moments and she was looking kind of confused at the moment. Brooke shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts out of her brain.

"Right as rain, baby," she answered, glad that her voice didn't crack. She was trying to brush off that weird feeling, not wanting to give it too much thought. She was afraid that if she did, she would find something that was better left undiscovered. Not wanting to have to answer any more questions that Haley might have, she quickly linked their arms together again and started pulling her towards the stairs.

"You sure?" Haley asked. She knew that Brooke was acting weird and she could tell that there was something bothering her.

"Yeppers," Brooke answered with cheerfulness. Haley was hoping that Brooke would make this easy on her, but Brooke liked to try and hide her feelings. Too bad it wouldn't work this time. They were going to be locked at the wrist the entire weekend and Haley was going to find out what was up with Brooke if it was the last thing she did.

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

Sorry if that was lame and really rushed, but I kind of wanted to get some of the feelings to start to surface and that was the only thing I could think of a the moment. I hope that's okay and you guys aren't disappointed. Anyway, please tell me what you think. Thanks.
