ok so here's chapter five, read and review and enjoy...
Haley and Nathan were walking to class the next day. Everything that had happened lately had sort of brought Nathan down. He wasn't really himself, probably because Brooke had turned him down and was doing god know what with Lucas, why did him and Lucas all have to share everything? Wasn't it enough they had the same last name, the same father, that they even lived in the same town and went to the same school but now they both liked the same girl. He felt like they were twins or something.
"Nathan!" Haley said almost yelling and finally catching his attention.
"What?" he said not meaning to come off as agitated as he sounded.
"Nathan, I've been saying your name over and over again, everything ok?" She asked him.
"Fine." He said, even though they really weren't.
"Ok I know we're not like best friends or anything but feel free to tell me anything you want to." She said.
"Would it be alright if I told you to shut up?" He asked her.
"Whoa." She said letting out a little bit of a sarcastic laugh "ok, sorry, did I offend you?" she asked him, not really seriously.
"No, Haley but just so you know things aren't so great." He said.
"Brooke?" she asked him.
"She might have something to do with it." He said.
"I know you like her." Haley said.
"Yeah, I do, and she kissed me but then said she didn't see us working out as a couple." He said.
"Oh, that sucks." Haley said.
"At least she's not with Brad anymore; I hate that guy, something about him isn't right. As long as Brooke's safe I'll be happy for her." Nathan said.
"That's like the most sentimental thing I've ever heard you say, you must really care about Brooke." Haley said.
"She's great." Nathan said.
"Yeah, well we should get to class." Haley said.
"I think I'm going to skip today." Nathan said.
"Nathan there's like a week left of school."
"All the more reason to skip now." He said.
"I'll give you the notes after school." She said.
"Thanks hales." He said and flung his backpack onto the other shoulder walking off.
Haley sighed and shook her head and walked to History.
Brooke was feeling especially happy today at school, why she didn't know, but she had a feeling things were going to go well. She was walking down the hallways ignoring all the bitchy glares other girls were giving her, all day she'd been hearing girls whisper "oh my god, I can't believe she broke up with brad." And "oh she's such a bitch; he's better off with out her." Brooke thought all of this gossip was kind of funny, the only reason people were freaking out is because they wished they had the kind of power where they could ever date Brad, let alone break up with him. They were just jealous. Brooke saw Lucas down the hall a little ways taking and exchanging books from his locker. He was starting to put one in his back pack when Brooke walked up and took it out of his hand.
"I'm going to need that back." He said.
"Lucas, what is this, I don't think we're reading this in English." She said looking at all the sides of the book like it was some extraordinary new object or something.
"That's because we're not, I'm reading that on my own." He said, taking it back from her.
"Its good you should read it." He said.
"mmm, Lucas that's boring." She said.
"Oh I forgot cheery people don't read." He said.
"Shut up." She said getting ready to hit him but he grabbed her arm and pulled her in towards him pressing his lips against hers without giving her time to consider this, there was no tongue but it was still a pretty good kiss, he pulled away from her and looked as if waiting for a response.
"Very nice." She said patting him on the shoulder. "Lucas Scott taking charge." She said.
"Did it surprise you?" he asked her.
"Does that have anything to do with… anything?"
"Yes, because if I surprised you that would be a very big accomplishment I've heard it's hard to keep things from Brooke Davis." He said.
"I was caught a little bit off guard, but nothing star worthy on your behalf so don't get any ideas." She said smiling.
"Oh crap, I'm late for class, um after school, our project?" he asked her.
"And then some." She said seductively.
"We'll see." He said.
"After school, the famous picnic table." She said.
"See you there." He said.
"Bye broody." She said.
"Bye cheery." He said back.
Nathan sat down by himself at lunch, soon to be joined by Tim and some other basketball players most likely, but to his surprise Theresa came and sat down next to him.
"Hi Nathan." She said.
"Theresa." He said grimly.
"What's wrong?" she asked him, almost as if she was speaking to a child.
"You called yourself a friend of Brooke's and then you went and slept with Brad, who she happened to be dating at the time." Nathan said.
"Brooke was being a bitch to him, total prude, he just wanted some love and I was there for him." She said.
"She was dating him."Nathan said.
"Oh like your one to talk, you hooked up with Brooke while she was still dating him."
"Those were different circumstances." Nathan said.
"She was still dating him, so that doesn't really matter." Theresa said.
"Brad was being an ass." He said.
"Well, I agree with you he was being an ass, he used me and then threw me away like a piece of trash."
"You can't expect him to actually have broken up with Brooke for you?" Nathan asked her.
"No, but I knew it wouldn't be long before they would break up and I thought for sure he'd come after me next." She said.
"Sorry, but that was really off thinking of you." Nathan said.
"I get that now." She said. "It just sucks to be treated like that; I want a guy who actually cares about me." She said slowing her speech patter down, taking more substantial pauses between sentences. "Someone who's nice and considerate, not to mention, some one like… you." She said.
"Theresa, I can't date you." Nathan said.
"Oh, well no problem just thought I'd ask." She said, trying to brush it off as if she had just asked him to borrow notes and he had said he didn't have any.
"ok." He said a bit confused.
"Well, I'll see you around Nathan." She said using his shoulder to help herself up.
"And if you need anything, at all, just find me." She said leaning down and whispering that in his ear. Nathan stayed looking forward for a few seconds and then turned and watched her go. That Theresa sure was something.
Later on after school Brooke walked out of her last period class and saw Lucas standing in the courtyard waiting for her.
"BROODY!" she yelled, causing a bunch of heads to turn towards her, of course Lucas didn't yell Cheery back but she did get a smile out of him.
"Oh, yes that was my goal for the afternoon, get you to smile." Brooke said once she got to Lucas.
"Well, there are a lot of other ways you could get me to smile." He said.
"Ok, but not too many because then we'd have to change your name to smiley and you know that just doesn't have the same ring to it." She said, philosophizing about the whole broody nickname.
"Ok, I'll try my best." He said.
"Come here, I have to tell you something." She said.
"What?"
"It's a secret; we have to go somewhere more private." She said taking his hand and leading him towards the hallway, out of the courtyard. Once they got into the hall, Brooke leaned against the lockers and pulled Lucas towards her.
"Now what did you have to tell me?" he asked her.
"You didn't really think that was why we came over here did you." She said.
"No, of course not." He said, lying.
"Ok well here's a secret for you, I think that when you're with me you can actually let your brooding never have fun guard down and you can actually have fun." She said reaching her hand up to his chest and tracing circles around it and then lying it down and looking at him.
"That's interesting." He said.
"Am I right, because I'm always right, so you pretty much have no choice but to kiss me now?" She said. Lucas almost laughed but then leaned in and kissed Brooke, Brooke's tongue demanded entrance and Lucas with some hesitation let it in, the two of them started to get more intense in their kissing as they were banging against the lockers. Haley had been walking out into the courtyard when she first saw Brooke and Lucas making out, in her mind she was just like, "oh god, another couple who can't get a room." But when she looked closer she saw that it was Lucas and Brooke. "Oh my god." She said out loud but softly. This was incredible, Lucas didn't make out with girls in hallways. Haley looked around and saw Nathan walking her way; she ran out to him and pushed him away from the hall.
"Nathan hey lets go umm to the tables." Haley said.
"Slow down Haley, I have to go to my locker." He said.
"No, Nathan, you really shouldn't" she said.
"Why not?" he asked her, just now starting to get very curios.
"Because… ugh because Lucas and Brooke are currently making out in front of it." Haley said giving into telling him.
"They are?" he asked her.
"I wouldn't lie to you about this Nathan." Haley said.
"I have to um I have to go, I'll get the notes from you later." Nathan said.
"Wait, Nathan do you want to go get something to eat or just to something to get your mind off this." Haley asked him.
"No, I have to go… I uh… I've got stuff to do." He said and turned away before Haley could say something else to him. Haley leaned back so she could see down the hallway, Lucas and Brooke were making their way back to the courtyard, and Haley was about to make a stealthy exit, but Brooke had already seen her.
"Tutor girl." Brooke said.
"Hey, Brooke… and Lucas." She said.
"What are you still doing here?" Brooke asked her.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Haley said.
"Oh, you know Lucas and I are just working on our project." Brooke said.
"Mhmm." Haley said understanding what "working on their project." Meant.
"And you are…?" Brooke asked her.
"I was uh, I was just leaving, I have a lot of homework." Haley said.
"Ok, bye tutor girl." Brooke said.
"Bye Haley." Lucas said.
"I'll call you later Lucas." Haley said nodding her head and walking away from Brooke and Lucas.
"You better not be cheating on me with her Scott." Brooke said pointing her finger at him.
"Are we dating?" he asked her.
Brooke hadn't really thought about this before so she didn't answer him for a few seconds.
"Oh, I see." Lucas said, realizing Brooke probably wasn't ready for a relationship.
"No, Lucas we can try it." Brooke said "I just broke up with brad, and then I kind of hooked up with Nathan, which you already know but that's besides the point, anyways the point is I kind of don't want to be made into the school's whore." Brooke said.
"Don't worry about it Brooke, if you don't want to date yet then…"
"I do want to; I'm just telling you ahead of the time that… I don't really know what to say but…"
"I understand what you mean." Lucas said.
"You're so good at that." Brooke said.
"I try." He said.
"Come on lets work on our project." Brooke said sighing and rolling her eyes.
"It's not the end of the world Brooke." Lucas said.
"Not for you it's not." She said.
"Just work with me, and maybe you'll get something in return." Lucas said.
"Ok, lets work quickly now." Brooke said getting very excited and Lucas pulled her in and kissed her.
