Chapter 4; Shopping and Basketball
After a week I was already used to the whole schoolrhythm. I mean, I pouted for a few days but from the irritating looks I got from the others; I decided that it was better if I stopped. Because let's face it; everybody hates school. Well, exept Haley; but she is kind of weird. But weird in a fun way.
So today is Saturday and I had made a deal with Lucas that if I would keep my mouth shut to Mr. Johnson (cause well an excuse doesn't work all the time) he would go shopping with me on the next Saturday. He made that deal with me because I said some things to Mr. Johnson and let's just say it wasn't pretty and I had to sit in detention class. To do what? Good guess; again to listen to one of his stupid stories. It was the third day of school and I already had to sit in detention class. And while I was sitting there, Lucas waited for me at the Rivercourt where we were supposed to be play basketball. He said that I sucked at basketball and didn't even knew the rules. I said that cheerleaders aren't supposed to play basketball and the reason I didn't knew the rules was just because I was to busy with cheering. So he decided that it was a good idea to teach me some skills. Ofcourse Mr. Johnson wouldn't agree that I just wanted to make a 'little' phonecall to a certain person. So that's why we made that deal, so he wouldn't have to wait again for two hours and I could take him shopping (he hated shopping and you know me, I love it) cause we hadn't done that since.. since we were dating. Oh and after we were ready with shopping he would teach me some of the skills he was supposed to teach me last Wednesday.
"Brooke no! You said one store and then we could go to the Rivercourt!" Lucas said when he followed me while he mumbled something that sounded like 'I wish I hadn't made that deal' while he thought I couldn't hear that.
"But I love this store! I totally forgot that it was here!"
I smiled at him and gave him my 'Brooke Davis Puppy Look' so I already walked in the shop just because I already knew he would come with me anyway.
"You, Brooke Davis are unbelieveable. We've been here forever! I thought you said that I could teach you some of my skills?"
"We've been here for two hours Luke; trust me that's nothing compared to when I go shopping with Peyton. And about the skills; I didn't say when we're gonna play."
"We're here for four hours Brooke."
"Oops! Well I guess we lost track of time Broody."
He sighed and as I predicted; he followed me into the shop. While I looked and he asked me every minute if I was ready, I saw the perfect dress. It was a beautiful, simple black dress with a low cut decolleté. I fell in love with it the second I saw it.
"Something's wrong Brooke? You look kind of shocked and your face is pale."
"Look at that dress Broody." I whispered.
He looked over my shoulder and laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?"
"Only you could get so excited about a dress Brooke."
"Well look at it! I would look so stunning in this dress, Oh My God I'm gonna try it on."
Without paying any attention to Lucas I walked to the changing cubicle and when I putted the dress on and saw Lucas look, I bought the dress.
"Okay, so now that you bought that stupid dress; can we go to the court now?"
He asked me hopefully. Ofcourse to make him cave I told him that the dress wasn't stupid and that if he wanted me to go with him, he first have to tell me that I looked great in the dress.
"Okay Brooke, I admit it. You looked absolutly beautiful and sexy as hell in that dress. Happy?"
"A little… Come on Broody we have a place to be."
Sooo.. Basketball wasn't that easy as I thought it would be. And Lucas was right, I sucked and absolutly hadn't a clue what to do.
"No Brooke! You can't walk with the ball without bouncing it! I told you that like a thousand times."
"It's hard Luke and I'm really trying. I told you I could cheer you on while your playing but you didn't want that."
"Cause we made a deal. I would teach YOU some skills after we were ready with shopping. It's a fair deal."
I snorted cause I knew he was right. I promised something and I never break a promise.
"Well I guess a deal is a deal, right?"
"That's right baby a deal is a deal."
I laughed at him. That were exacly the same words I told him last year before we were dating.
He smiled at me with that oh so cute smile and at that moment I wanted to kiss him so bad. But I didn't, I told myself that if we're gonna decide that we wanted to be together, he had to make the first move. I couldn't risk my friendship with him just because I was caught up in the moment.
"So do you want to play more or should we just go home and watch a movie or something?"
"Ehm, if the name of the movie is called 'The Notebook' then I would say screw this and let's go home."
"Oh no, no no no no; not 'The Notebook'! Come on Brooke you've seen that movie like fifteen times!"
"Seventeen times to be exact; but I want to make it to twenty. Come on Lucas, we did your thingy so now it's my turn again."
"We did your 'thingy' for four and a half hours before we played 40 minutes of basketball. I think it's only fair and reasonably if I can choose the movie." He said while we walked to his car.
"Only if it's not some horror movie, you know I can't sleep when I saw something that creeps me out."
"But what if you're gonna look at the advantages of a horror movie? You can not only crawl against me when you're scared and hold my hand, you can also ask me nicely if I would tuck you in when I walk to your closets to check if there aren't any bad monsters."
"Luke! This isn't funny! I'm serious, I hate horror. What's the fun of scaring people like that? I swear if I see 'The Ring' or 'The Grudge' again I'm seriously gonna crawl next to you in bed."
"Like I have a problem with that."
I slapped him playfully on the arm while he laughed.
"You always find a way to convince me to watch another scary movie with you. And everytime after I watched it I promise myself that I won't watch something like that again."
"Yeah well your not the only one who is blessed with special gifts."
"Okay okay! I give in! It's not like you have more thrillers or horror movies home we can watch."
"I downloaded 'The Amityville Horror' yesterday.""Great, just great."
He smiled cause he knew he won. He was the only one who could convince me of something I hated. And I loved him for that. It was now 1-0 for him and I had to make it to at least 1-1.
"Okay we're gonna watch that creepy movie but on one condition."
"And that condition is?"
He asked with a little bit of uncertainty in his voice. Cause with me, you never knew what I would say or do. And I think that's actually the only thing about me what I like about myself: I'm unpredictable.
"I'm driving the car."
The look on his face was priceless. His new car was his baby; he hadn't let anyone else drive in it exept Nathan.
"But.. But that car is my.. my… Alright! You can drive but then we're gonna watch the movie without you pouting."
1-1! Yay for me! Oh yeah another good thing about myself: I just have to give boys a look and they will cave and I've got them wrapped around my fingers.
Whoo hoo! Chapter 4 is ready. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I love you guys for it and it made my day. So I decided you get some spoilers cause I already wrote the next chapter.
