The next day at school Brooke didn't feel like talking to anyone. Brad, Lucas, and Nathan had all lied to her, so why should she talk to them.
"B. Davis." Peyton said running up to her.
"Hey, Peyton." Brooke said.
"You know we could kick Theresa off the squad if that would make you feel any better." Peyton said.
"It probably would, but whatever I don't want to do that, schools almost over anyways."
"Have you talked to Nathan or Lucas?" Peyton asked her.
"No, and I don't want to." Brooke said.
"Because they didn't tell you about Brad and Theresa?"
"Yeah of course." Brooke said, like what other reason would there be.
"Ok, well personally I would have told you but their guys they didn't think it was any of their business." Peyton said.
"So what are you saying I should forgive them?"
"Yeah." Peyton said.
"Well… I don't want to." Brooke said.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm sick of boys, and I really don't want to talk to Nathan." Brooke said stressing the "really".
"Why?"
"I kind of kissed him when we were locked in the storage closet." Brooke said.
"Brooke!" Peyton said stopping both her and Brooke from walking "you did not include that detail in your full length story about detention." Peyton said. "Was it like a little kiss or?"
"His shirt was off." Brooke said.
"Oh my god, I can't believe this." Peyton said.
"It probably would've gone farther except brad walked in thank god." Brooke said.
"Well so, I thought you liked Nathan, you did kiss him."
"I do like him, but I was scared in there, and he was being really sweet, but I don't want to date Nathan." Brooke said.
"You do like to corrupt men don't you Brooke?"
"I hope he doesn't think that we're like a couple now." Brooke said.
"I don't think Nathan will think that." Peyton said "and as for you and Lucas?"
"I guess I have to talk to him since we're doing that English project thing." Brooke said.
"Forgive Lucas, forgive Nathan whatever just do me a favor, don't forgive Brad ok?"
Peyton said.
"I don't think that will be a problem." Brooke said.
"Ok, I have to go find Haley; we have to work on out English project." Peyton said.
"Bye." Peyton said.
"Bye P. Sawyer." Brooke said.
Nathan had been trying to find Lucas all day and Lucas had been trying to avoid Nathan all day. Finally Nathan found him.
"Lucas, man I've been looking all over for you." Nathan said.
"Yeah I don't really care." Lucas said.
"Hey I'm sorry ok." Nathan said.
"You knew I liked her Nathan, so obviously you don't care and you're probably not sorry."
"I am." Nathan said.
"You shouldn't have kissed her Nathan."
"She kissed me." He said.
"Right whatever."
"Lucas, don't be an ass, its not that big of a deal, what if I liked her too are you the only one who's allowed to like her?"
"No, but… you could've told me."
"I didn't want you to freak out or whatever." Nathan said.
"Well you did a great job there." Lucas said.
"I'm sorry." Nathan said.
"Yeah." Lucas said walking the other direction quickly
Brooke walked over to her locker and when she got there, there was a note there, Brooke took it off of her locker and read it…
Brooke, I'm really sorry about not telling you about Brad and Theresa. I thought that what I wasn't suppose to have known wasn't my business, and you seemed happy with Brad, and your happiness is important to me, I didn't want to ruin that for you. I'll do the English project for both of us and fill you in before we present so you don't have to you know talk to me, but I hope that you can forgive me, I'm sorry cheery…
From brooding broody
Brooke folded the note back up and put it in her locker and then headed off to the picnic tables where she hoped she would find Lucas, and she did indeed.
"Lucas." She said walking towards his table and sitting down across from him.
"Hey." He said hesitantly.
"I got your note." She said.
"That's nice."
"You don't have to brood anymore because I'm not mad at you." She said.
"You aren't?"
"No, that was a sweet note." Brooke said.
"Thanks." He said. "So are you and Nathan like together now?"
"No actually Lucas we aren't." Brooke said a little annoyed with that question.
"Oh." Lucas said.
"It's not like that." Brooke said "the situation just set things up and then it all happened."
Brooke said.
"Oh." He said again.
"Can you stop saying oh?"
"Yeah." He said.
"Ok well I just thought I'd tell you I forgive you and I will help you with the English project."
"Ok, when do you want to meet?"
"How about today after school, right here." Brooke said.
"Works for me." He said.
"Good." She said and got up to leave.
"Brooke, wait do you think I mean would we ever be able to… work as a couple?" he asked her.
"I'll see you after school." She said and kissed him on the cheek before walking away and smiling. Lucas suddenly turned not so broody and also smiled.
After school Brooke was out in the courtyard looking for Lucas when Nathan walked up to her.
"Hey Brooke wait up." Nathan said.
Brooke stopped in her tracks and waited for Nathan to catch up to her.
"Hey." She said softly.
"Are you talking to me?" he asked her surprised that she had even stopped.
"Yeah, I'm not mad… really. I mean I wish you would have told me Nathan I do consider you to be my friend." Brooke said.
"I am, I'm sorry but I just thought you should find out for yourself." Nathan said.
"What is Brad had asked me to marry him?" Brooke said.
"Well I would've told you then." Nathan said.
"Alright, its fine don't worry about it…um about the thing that happened."
"No strings attached." Nathan said "I didn't think you would actually want to date me." He said looking down.
"Aw, no Nathan I just I don't see us working that way, exactly." Brooke said. "At least not right now." Brooke said.
"No I understand." Nathan said.
"Are you sure?" She asked him.
"I'm sure, look I'll talk to you later." Nathan said.
"Nathan, wait." Brooke said.
"What?"
"Come here friend." She said and pulled him into a hug, of course from off in the distance Lucas saw this.
"Ok, you can go now friend." She said.
"Bye, Brooke."
Once Nathan walked away Brooke turned herself around looking for Lucas, or the infamous Broody. Hmmm no where to be found, no way was he ditching her already. Just as she was getting ready to walk away Lucas cam from behind her and pulled her back holding her hand.
"Oh, Lucas you're so scandalous, I thought you were ditching me and I'd have to research like Romeo and Juliet all by myself." Brooke said.
"Brooke we didn't read Romeo and Juliet this year." He said.
"Well last year whatever." She said and waved her hand up to show that it wasn't a big deal.
"Actually it was sophomore year, but hey you know that's not really relevant." He said.
"However we should probably get started." Lucas said.
"Picnic tables?" she asked him as to where they were going to do this.
"Take your pick." He said
"Umm, I like this one because it's in the middle of all of them; you're so out there when you sit here." Brooke said.
"Out there?"
"All the attention is on you." Brooke said.
"Of course you like this table." He said getting it.
"Hey." She said hitting him playfully.
"Don't hit me." He said hitting her back playfully, Brooke hit him again and then it turned into a full on play hitting fight but Lucas finally started to win when he figured out Brooke's weak spot… she was ticklish. He had her in his arms and was tickling her.
"Oh... Lucas stop please." Brooke said out of breath and hardly being able to get the words out.
"No more hitting." He said.
"Fine." She said. Lucas stopped tickling her and once she caught her breath she realized she was still in his arms, they looked at each other for a few seconds and it almost was like they were going to kiss, but Brooke unlatched herself from him and sat down at the table.
"We should probably get to work." Brooke said.
Lucas didn't say anything her just sat down at the table and took out his books.
The two of them had been working for a while, and Brooke looked up from what she was doing and watched Lucas writing, once she got bored of that she took her pencil and poked his arm with it.
"Is there a problem?" he asked her, looking at her and then at the pencil she had just poked him with, but then looking back at her.
"Yes there is, I'm bored." Brooke said "I think we should stop now." Brooke said in a whiny sort of little kid's voice.
"Brooke has anyone ever told you that you have a very short attention span?"
"Only when it comes to some things, others not so much." Brooke said, obviously referring to sex.
"I'll let that speak for its self." Lucas said.
"So are we done?" she asked him.
"I guess." He said, how could he not give into Brooke?
"Yay!" She said throwing her book into her bag.
"Wait, Brooke there's something I've been meaning to do." Lucas said.
"Take cheery lessons?" Brooke asked him.
"no." he said seriously, looking into her eyes. Brooke tried to stay in the moment but she just ended up laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked her.
"Well, you obviously want to kiss me." Lucas turned red when she said this, what was she like a physic? "And you're just so serious about it, if your going to do it just do it already." She said.
"Ok." He said pulling her closer to him and he was about to kiss her when Brad walked up and yanked Lucas away from her.
"Hey, get away from my girlfriend." Brad said.
"Your girlfriend?" Lucas and Brooke said in unison.
"What on heaven hell and earth put together would make you think that Brooke is still your girlfriend?" Lucas said getting very defensive.
"This has nothing to do with you so you can shut the hell up and let me talk to Brooke." Brad said.
"We're not dating Brad." Brooke said.
"Brooke, come on you can't be serious." Brad said.
"No really I can." Brooke said.
"Look, I'm not about to just loose you so come find me when you're ready to make up." Brad said putting his hand on her shoulder before walking away.
"Sorry about that." Brooke said getting up from the table "I'll talk to you tomorrow." Brooke said walking away quickly.
"Brooke, wait…" but she didn't hear him so he just decided to talk to her tomorrow.
