A/N sorry for the long wait, real life sucked for awhile. Next ud should be in a few days.

"P. Sawyer, today is a great day!" Brooke yelled, stopping by Peyton's locker. Brooke felt truly happy for the first time in a long time. She and Lucas had talked the whole night, and ended up falling asleep in the cafe, after they had "broken in".

"And why are you so happy Ms. Davis? Did you get some benefitting done last night?" Peyton asked, smiling.

"For your information, no, and I won't be doing any kind of that benefitting for awhile. Luke and I are back together, in a way. We are like friends with emotional benefits." Brooke said, in her usually cheerful voice.

"First, what happened with Felix? Second, how did this happen? Third, what is friends with emotional benefits? And forth, why am I only finding out about this now?"

"First, he lied to me, and you know how much I hate being lied to. Second, we talked on the beach after formal, and confessed how much we loved each other. Third, we are like boyfriend girlfriend, just without the physical stuff, until I'm ready. Forth, Luke and I fell asleep in the cafe, last night while we were talking. Now, how was your night?"

"Good, if you count my mom's dress being ruined, being called a lesbian, and this." Peyton shut her locker as she talked.

"What the hell? Why would someone do that?" Brooke looked at the word Dyke on Peyton's locker, horrified.

"I think it had to do with last night when Felix called me a lesbian, but I'm not sure."

"Well, I'm gonna go talk to that scum of an ex-friend, he will know."

"And why would you want to talk to him when you have me?" Luke asked, while hugging Brooke from behind.

"This, and did I say you could hug me?" Brooke asked, back still turned away from Luke, trying to hide her smile.

"Oh, sorry." Luke pulled his arms away quickly.

"No, it's ok, I was just kidding, regular friends hug, so we can hug. I will also allow hand holding, if you nice. I am going to talk to Felix because he called Peyton a lesbian, and that turned up in her locker this morning." She said, again pointing at the locker.

"I will kill him." Luke said.

"No, we'll get him back, if it was him. Now, let's go to class and forget about this, for now." Brooke grabbed Luke's hand, which felt so right, and hooked her arm with Peyton's, which was rewarded with weird looks from under class men. Brooke just glared at them, not caring what they thought, she had her best friends arm, and her "boyfriends" hand, life was getting back to perfect.

P.S. I have a new story idea:

Luke: music producer
