The next morning Brooke woke up early and looked at the clock sitting on the nightstand next to the bed "shit…" she said quietly and climbed out of bed. She changed back into her other clothes and left a note for jay then left and drove home. She got home after her dad had left for work. So she just walked in through the door. She took another shower, did her hair and makeup and put on a pair of hip huggers and a black t-shirt w/ a pink skull on the front and she slipped on her socks an black low tops and grabbed her hoodie and drove off to school. She was 2 hours late by the time she got to her first class.
"Thank you for joining us Miss. Madix." Mr. Simpson said s she walked to her seat.
"Sorry…"she said sitting down.
"You know the deal…an hour after school w/ the office." He said then continued the lesson.
"Where were you?" Emma asked (they had met and became friends Brooke's first day)
"Over slept." Brooke said getting out her notebook and taking notes.
"I saw your car at the ravine." Emma said bluntly.
"So…" Brooke looked up from her notebook and looked strait into Emma's eyes.
"Why were you there?"
"I was invited to a party there and decided to check it out."
"Who invited you?" Emma looked at Brooke's wrists.
"Jay…?"
"Ohh…" Emma looked back at Brooke w/ a look of pity on her face.
"What?" Brooke was getting annoyed w/ how she was looking at her…Brooke hated pity…it pissed her off…she had always been pitied.
"You didn't…you know w/ him did you?" Emma's voice was quite.
"No I didn't do jay…" Brooke looked back up at Mr. Simpson who was looking annoyed w/ them. He was about to speak when the bell rang and Brooke rushed to the closest door and got out of there taking a deep breath then letting it out w/ a sigh.
"Hey…Brooke right?" a guy walked up to her he had strait brown hair that was about to his ears. He was walking w/ two other girls…one was about Brooke's height w/ red hair and wearing mostly black and the other was a little taller than her w/ medium length broken hair.
"Yeah…"she looked at the three of them confused.
"I'm Marco and well someone told me you could sing really well…and I need some one to help us w/ the Degrassi fighting song." He said w/ a huge smile on his face.
"Your joking right?" Brooke tried not to laugh but it didn't work.
"No I'm not…please…I could really use your help." He pleaded.
"Ok…I'll help you…"Brooke looked around for a clock it was lunch now.
"Ok…come w/ us…" he said and led her to the gym where there was a group of girls practicing a cheer. She saw Paige arguing w/ some girl w/ long dark brown hair.
"She's here!" Marco yelled and they all came over to where he was.
"Hi…" Brooke said then looked at Marco. "Can we kinda hurry?"
"Ok…" Marco taught her the song and she wanted to hurl she hated school songs. But she had already agreed to help. "So you think you can do that at the pep rally later?"
"Yeah…" Brooke had no problem w/ being shy or anything she just hated pep rallies.
" Ok…you can take the rest of the day off to 'practice' it…I already talked to the principal." Marco said w/ a smile "you just have to stay on campus."
"Cool. Thanks…" she said walking out of the gym and to the shop room. Brooke walked in and saw someone else working on something so she went to the other side of the room and worked on an engine.
"Hey…" the person said as she walked by.
"Hi." She just kept walking.
"Why'd you leave so early this morning?" jay asked walking up next to her.
"I was an hour late for school. My dad's already pissed at me I didn't need more trouble." She said stopping and turning to face him. "Thanks though…I appreciate it." She gave him a hug.
"No problem…hey I'm gonna be at the ravine again tonight…if you wanna hang out again." He said pulling back and looking down at Brooke (remember he was just a little taller than her)
"Ok cool…what time?" she asked walking towards the engine she was going to work on.
"Umm about 4:00" he said walking w/ her.
"That early?" she turned to look at him.
"Yeah…lame huh?" he looked down. He didn't know why…he was never shy…but there was something about her…like she didn't care what he thought of her. Most of the girls that actually talked to him wanted him to approve of them and were always so fake…even Alex…there was something there like she was just w/ him to piss someone else off…not like it bothered him though.
"No…I avoid my house so…I get it." She said w/ a bit of a shaky voice.
"Why?" he asked noticing her sudden change in mood.
"My dads an ass."
"What about your mom?" he sat down on the closest solid thing…he thought it was a table.
"She died when I was a few months old." She said sitting next to him.
"I'm sorry." He said kicking himself for even asking.
"You weren't the one who killed her." She said looking at the clock.
"Do you have somewhere you have to be?"
"Not till 2:00." She said looking back around the shop it was so quite when there weren't a bunch of people in the room clanging the tools and revving up the engines.
"What's at 2:00?"
"Pep rally…" she said w/ a sigh.
"Ok…why are you going?" he asked trying not to laugh.
"Macro needed me to sing the fighting song…thing…" she said laughing.
"Marco?" he said more thinking to himself than asking her. "Oh you mean the fag?"
"What?" she gave him a look that made him squirm…not many people looked at him like that…they were too afraid to.
"What? You mean you like the little flamer?"
"Homophobe…" she said looking away from him.
"So?" he asked looking at her profile.
"So?" she paused. "You're so typical." She said getting of the table and walking over to the engine.
"What dose that mean?" he said defensively.
"Just cuz he likes dick doesn't mean he's not worthy of respect," she said not looking away from the engine.
"Ok…sorry I just don't think it's right."
"That's cool…you entitled to your own opinion…but don't rag on people around me ok?" she looked over at him while she said that then back to the engine.
"Ok…deal…but only if you'll do something for me." He said getting off the table and walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"What?" she said more than a little annoyed.
"Stay the night at my house again."
"Look…jay…" she moved his arms from around her waist and turned to face him. "I didn't mean to lead you on or anything…but…I'm not gonna fuck you just cuz you were nice to me." She looked strait into his eyes.
"Oh no I didn't mean like that!" he actually didn't…he just didn't want to be alone again…but he wasn't about to admit that to her.
"Jay I don't…I'll think about it."
"Ok that's all I'm asking for." He smiled.
"Ok…I'm hungry…do you want something form the vending machine?" she asked walking out of the shop.
"It's cool I'll get it." He said walking out w/ her.
"Whatever." She said then noticed all the looks they were getting. "Damn…it's like your wearing people repellant." She laughed.
"Yeah I know…" he said laughing w/ her. "What do you want?" he asked when they got to the vending machine.
"Those…" she had a big smile on her face and pointing to BBQ chips.
"Ok…"he said putting in some money and punching in the number code.
"Thanks!" she said getting them out of the drop off.
"No problem…ooh those look good." He said getting strawberry pop tarts.
"The chocolate are the best." She said and went to go sit down at a table.
"You know what people are gonna think when they see us eating together right?" he said hesitating to sit down.
"And your point is?" she asked scooting the chair next to her out for him to sit down.
"Ok…I warned you." He said sitting down and smiling.
"Brooke…can I talk to you?" Emma ran over to her.
"Yeah shoot." Brooke said looking over at the frantic Emma.
"Over there…." She said pointing to another table.
"Ok…I'll be right back." She said getting up and following Emma.
"I thought you said you didn't do him?"
"I did say that and I didn't fuck jay…what's your problem?" Brooke said a little mad.
"But people will think you did…"
"I don't care…."
"But everyone will start treating you like shit." Emma said w/ that same sound of pity in her voice.
"Fuck Emma I don't care!" she said walking back over to jay.
"So did greenpeace warn you about me?" he said taking a bite of his pop tart.
"Yeah…"she said and smiled at him.
"And?"
"And what?" she looked over at him and threw a chip at his forehead.
"Are you gonna listen to her?" he said and threw a piece of pop tart back at her.
"Should I?"
"Dunno what did she tell you?"
"That people will talk." She said putting her legs on his lap.
"Dose that bother you?" he asked playing w/ the rip in the knee of her pants.
"If it did would I be sitting here?" jerked because he found her ticklish spot.
"I guess not." He smiled and started tickling her knee.
"Stop…" she said and kicked lightly.
"Oww!" he said as she kicked him in the knee.
Brooke's day went by fast she hung out w/ jay until the pep rally and she got up there and sang then went home to change. As she drove up to the house she noticed her dads car wasn't in the driveway so she went through the front door.
"Hello?" she yelled but no answer so she walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the table. ' Brooke, I'm gonna be in Europe for the next two weeks…there is three hundred in the envelope…that should be enough if not you can use your credit card.' "Sweet…"she said grabbing the money and putting it in her wallet. "I guess that's one good thing about dad…" she went up stares to change she put on this… Brooke looked at the clock and saw it was 3:15 so she decided to grab a bite to eat. She was on her way to the closest fast food place when she saw Craig walking home. She pulled up beside him and yelled out her window "Craig!"
"What?" he walked over to the car and leaned on the open window.
"How much for a party?" she joked.
"Depends what you want…" he said in the smuttiest voice he could.
"How about the full ride?" she said in her best dirty trucker voice.
"Normally 500 hundred but for you….200." he smiled and winked.
"Great I know this little place we can go.
"Ok." he said climbing in. they both started to crack up laughing.
"How's food sound to you?" she asked driving off.
"Good…but I have no money…" he
"No problem…dad had a business trip and left me 300." She said w/ a huge grin on her face.
"Sweet!" he said turning on the radio and singing.
"I love your voice!" she said then started singing along w/ him.
"Thanks and same two you!"
"Donka!" she said then laughed.
"what?"
"thank you in German…." She smiled.
"ho do you know German…?"
"me and my dad lived there for a year then we came here…"
"that's so cool!" he said then changed the radio station.
"I guess. How's about I take you to…the dot grill?" she looked over at him.
"cool…thanks…" he smiled.
"yup…" she smiled back then drove off to the dot grill. They got out of the car and walked in and found a booth in the back.
"so are you two on a date?" spinner walked up and started laughing.
"oh spinners you know there's only room for one person in my life!" Craig said and batted his lashes at spinner.
"sick dude…just sick…now order."
"no!" Brooke said and stuck her tongue out at him. "Were gonna make you wait then change our orders over and over and over!" she smiled and laughed.
"come on this is my last table then I get to go home!" he pleaded.
"fine…" they placed there orders and laughed and had a good time.
"I gotta get home…I have to baby-sit Angie…" Craig said looking at his watch.
"ok…" they paid and left a 15 dollar tip for spinner w/ a little note that said 'only cuz Craig is madly in love w/ you' written on a napkin w/ pink lipstick. Then they drove off to crags house.
"thanks so much!" Craig said starting to get out.
"oh I see how it is!…." Brooke said shaking her head.
"what?" he said looking over at her.
"I buy you…dinner…no lunch…no food…and I don't even get a kiss!" she said acting like she was about to cry.
"fine!" Craig leaned over and she stuck out her cheek for him to kiss but he grabbed her chin and turned her face towards him and kissed her. He waited to see if she pulled back but when she didn't he slid his tongue into her mouth and she did the same. She put her arms around his neck deepening the kiss.
"Craig! Hurry up!" Joey yelled from the front steps.
"Ok!" Craig yelled from the car as they both started to laugh.
Ok kiddies that's all for now! Review thanks!
