"Brooke can we talk about this, somewhere else?" he asked her starting to push her towards the hallway.
"There's nothing more to talk about Nathan, you betrayed our friendship and out trust.
What possible reason could you have for ever, EVER being with a girl like Theresa?"
"Because I can't be with you."
"What?" she asked him a bit dumbfounded.
"You know what Brooke." Nathan said not wanting to waste his time confessing his true love to Brooke.
"You said you were fine with just being friends." She said under her breath.
"Well I obviously wasn't thinking straight, or I didn't want to get turned down like I am now." He said.
"Nathan, I'm with Lucas now." She said.
"So, when we were in that room together, you just thought hey I'll kiss Nathan and then dump off like a piece of trash." He said.
"Nathan, I was the one who wasn't thinking straight in there, I was scared and you were there." She said.
"Oh, well that's just great Brooke, you just used me."
"Yeah well you hooked up with Theresa." Brooke said, challenging him, sure they had both done something wrong but his was worse.
"Only to make you jealous." Nathan said.
"So you're just using her." Brooke said raising her eyebrows, ha she had caught him.
"Yeah I guess I am." He said, Brooke had not expected him to answer so quickly, or with that answer.
"Well… then… you can't be mad at me." Brooke said.
"Ok fine." He said.
"Well, touché." She said, not being able to come up with anything else.
"I'm not interested in Theresa." He said. "And I'm not dating her."
"Good, because that would really hurt me Nathan." Brooke said.
"Why, you have Lucas now you don't like me."
Brooke stared at him for a few seconds.
"How can you say that Nathan? You and I have been my best friend since like forever." Brooke said.
"Not really, and I'll bet you any amount of money that we won't stay friends if you and Lucas keep dating."
"Fine, how much you want to bet? Because I know that we will, we can all be friends, and I'm not throwing away our friend ship for anything." Brooke said.
"You can't be friends with me and date Lucas."
"Why not?" She said almost yelling she was so confused.
"Because, every time we hang out it will be awkward and any time I hang out with you alone, Lucas will think its something else."
"No he won't" Brooke said. "You've just got to give it a chance." Brooke said. "I mean if you don't then what the hell never mind I said any of this, obviously you're too proud to be nothing more then friends with a hot girl." Brooke said.
"I just don't know if I can be only friends with you, if every time I'm with you I want to kiss you." Nathan said, surprised that actually came out of his mouth.
"Well try, because Lucas is my boyfriend not you, so we can either be friends, or you know we can stop talking for a while until you find someone else to love, either way I'm not ending this friendship." Brooke said.
"Fine I'll try, but I'm telling you any time you and I hang out Lucas is going to freak." Nathan said.
"Well I'll talk to him, Lucas doesn't really know how long we've been friends, and I'll explain things to him."
"Fine." Nathan said.
"Ok, I'll call you later Nathan." Brooke said.
"Yeah, whatever." Nathan said walking away before Brooke could get another word in.
Brooke sighed watching him go and dragged her feet of to class. This sucked…
Brooke spent the rest of the day thinking in her classes, maybe this could actually work, she just had to use her special Brooke Davis Powers on Lucas an everything should work out. After school Brooke saw Lucas at his locker and she walked, calmly and coolly, over to him.
"Hello there." Brooke said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey." Lucas said solemnly.
Jeez what was wrong with him, oh of course school was over: always the worst part of his day.
"look, I know your all brooding and what not right now, but could you please do me a favor and go get something to eat with me and Nathan, and not be so… I only have three days left to live, sort of guy."
"With Nathan?" Lucas asked her.
"I happen to be friends with him." Brooke said.
"That would be weird Brooke."
"Hey, I would go out to lunch or whatever with you and Haley."
"No you wouldn't" He said.
"Would too, tutor girl and I are tight." Brooke said.
"You're tight?"
"Just roll with it." Brooke said.
"Nathan knows that I'm going too?" Lucas asked her, Brooke probably hadn't told him that small detail.
"He will, Nathan doesn't even know we're going yet." Brooke said.
"I don't think it's a good idea, but I guess we can." Lucas said.
"Yes!" Brooke screeched. "That was so the right answer." Brooke said kissing him quickly before going off to find Nathan.
Haley and Nathan were sitting down together on the bench in the courtyard.
"So does Brooke hate you?" Haley asked him.
"No, we worked things out, by the way thanks for telling her Haley that really helped the situation." Nathan said sarcastically, she had almost cost him his friendship with Brooke.
"Brooke's my friend, I had to tell her. Oh and for the record you were the one who almost cost your friendship with Brooke, don't put the blame on me." Haley said.
"I don't like Theresa." Nathan said.
"Wasn't accusing you." Haley said.
"Oh, well I guess I'm still hung up on Brooke."
"This is very cliché but there are other fish in the sea Nathan." Haley said. Nathan was really getting too hung up on Brooke, she wished Nathan liked her the same way he liked Brooke, but she wasn't about to let him see that.
"I know, but they aren't Brooke." Nathan said.
Haley didn't have anything to say to that so she looked the other way and waited for him to hopefully say something else, maybe a change of subject.
"I guess I'm going to go now." Nathan said.
"You want to go get something to eat?" Haley asked him.
"Uh, I guess, yeah." He said.
"Ok." Haley said trying to contain her excitement.
"Nathan." Brooke said coming up from the courtyard. "Lucas and I are going to go get something to eat; I know you want to join us." She said.
"I would but I'm hanging out with Haley." He said, sort of breathily, obviously upset but not wanting to be so mean as to cancel on Haley.
"Tutor girl, I feel like I should be jealous, but I'm not because I'm dating your best friend so whatever." Brooke said "you two are going out aren't you? I mean he didn't just make that up to get away from me did he?" Brooke asked her.
"No, we are hanging out." Haley said, like that was such a big surprise, well maybe it was.
"Ok, well see you too around." Brooke said, after no one said anything. God every single person she was friends with were so UN into making conversation. Hello people its called small talk, at least.
After Brooke walked away Haley quickly said "ok let's go." Whoa that came out a little more excited sounding than it was suppose to. But she was excited she thought that for sure Nathan would ditch her for Brooke, and when he didn't her stomach did flips. This was so weird; she likes a use to be jerk of a jock. And she was like almost considering herself friends with Brooke. This was really weird, and Nathan had just turned down Brooke, the girl of his dreams for her, Haley James, this was super weird.
"I'm leaving without you." Nathan said getting up, his getting up is the only thing that broke Haley's thoughts.
"What?" Haley said.
"I've called your name so many times, I'm sure half the school think either I'm crazy or you are, but hey whatever." Nathan said. "So are you coming?"
"Yeah." Haley said trying not to blush, but that made her blush even more. She was so weird, or that's probably what Nathan thought.
Brooke and Lucas were already in Karen's café when Haley and Nathan walked in.
"Whoa, this is so weird." Brooke said to Lucas and then turned around and waved at Haley and Nathan.
"Nathan and tutor girl com join us." Brooke said, cursing herself for the fact that she had just waved in a public place, almost making a scene.
Haley looked at Nathan to see what he wanted to do and he was already walking over to their table. Maybe this wasn't as weird as she had thought earlier.
"Hey guys." Lucas said.
"Hi." Haley said sitting down.
"Fancy seeing you too here." Brooke said.
"Oh, you know us." Haley said, what the hell did that mean, she thought after she spoke.
"Yeah, we do." Brooke said confused, she too had thought what the hell did that mean.
"Never mind." Haley said "I'm hungry." She tried to change the subject.
"Oh me too." Brooke said.
"Brooke? Hungry? I never thought I'd see the day." Nathan said joking about how he always used to call her anorexic when she ate dinner at his house, only because she didn't like the weird food his mom tried to cook.
"Shut your face fatty." Brooke said joking back about how he always pigged out when he came over to her house.
Lucas looked back and forth from the two of them confused.
"Well I am hungry." Brooke said.
"So guys, four more days left and we're done with high school as we know it." Haley said getting onto a subject she could talk about.
"Oh I know, Lucas is going to throw a fit." Brooke said thinking about how sad he was when school was over for the day, now it would be over forever, with the exception of college.
"Brooke, I don't really like school, I like to read." He said.
"Reading and school are like the same thing Lucas." Brooke said.
"Ok Brooke, whatever you say." Lucas said, not wanting to fight about school of all things.
"Do you remember that one time, we were little and I pretended I was Mrs.Ringle our second grade teacher and I tried to read you that book." Brooke said to Nathan.
"Yeah, and you started reading in backwards." Nathan said.
Lucas and Haley exchanged confused glances.
"You guys remember second grade?" Haley asked them.
"Only the highpoints of it." Brooke said.
"And that was a highpoint?" Haley asked them again still puzzled.
"That and the time Nathan peed in his pants." Brooke said laughing.
"Brooke, you are not supposed to tell people about that incident." He said seeing the
Amused looks from Haley and Lucas "that never happened." He added.
"Oh yes it did, we were standing outside waiting for the bus, and a big red sports car zoomed by and it scared Nathan half to death. That may be the highpoint of my life." Brooke said.
"The car did not just zoom by, it was right next to us, I could've been killed." Nathan said.
"Oh shut up, we're not on a soap opera." Brooke said "oh my god, a soap opera about second graders, coming up Maddie and Jason both secretly like each other but Maddie's kissie girl friends don't want her to betray their pact that they never actually kiss the boys, and Jason is terrified of the cooties Maddie could possible have. Tune in at Seven AM, Tuesday to find out if Maddie and Jason can make it together." Brooke said like a commercial.
"Oh I so want to know what happens" Haley said sarcastically.
"I already know." Brooke said since it was "her show." And then she finished her sentence "and let's just hope that young naïve maddie remembers to use protection." Brooke said.
"Oh, Brooke you did not just say that." Lucas said.
"That doesn't even… work." Haley said.
"Hey! It's my soap opera and anything goes." Brooke said smiling.
"Let's hope this show never makes it to air." Lucas said leaning in towards the table "the forces of Brooke Davis should never be unleashed on the rest of human kind."
"I second that." Nathan said.
"I third it." Haley said.
"I fourth that." Brooke said, and everyone looked at her.
"Well they shouldn't" Brooke said.
"You're something else." Nathan said.
"Oh my god" Brooke said running up to Lucas the next day at school.
"What?" he asked her.
"I got into Boston college." Brooke said, jumping around Lucas.
"Brooke, wow that's great." Lucas said pulling her in and kissing her.
"Have you gotten any letters for college acceptance yet?" Brooke asked him once they pulled away.
"Umm..." Lucas was about to say something but then Nathan walked up to the two of them.
"Brooke, hey I just wanted to tell you I got into Boston college, and uh I know you applied there so…" Nathan said.
"I got in too." Brooke said.
"Oh, cool." Nathan said.
Brooke stared at him kind of like he was being weird,
"Yeah, I guess it is cool." Brooke said rolling her eyes.
"Did you apply there Lucas?" Nathan asked him.
"Uh, yeah I did but I also got into Columbia University." Lucas said.
"Well that's great, but you're coming with me and Nathan right." Brooke said.
"I don't know." Lucas said.
Brooke looked over at Nathan, who had been looking off towards the courtyard, trying to act like he wasn't paying attention.
"What does that mean?" Brooke asked Lucas.
"I really want to go to Columbia University." Lucas said.
"You'd rather go there, then with me to an equally good college." Brooke said, Lucas gave her a look, Columbia was a bit better.
"Oh I get it; Boston College isn't smart enough for you." Brooke said. "Well… come on Nathan, lets go hang out somewhere else. This area is too smart for us." Brooke said turning away and briskly walking off; Nathan looked at Lucas and then followed behind Brooke.
After school Brooke was walking to her car to leave when Lucas grabbed her arm.
"Lucas, oh my god give me a heart attack." Brooke said startled.
"Sorry." He said.
"Yeah, well whatever." Brooke said shaking his arm off of hers and getting in her car. Lucas ran around and got in at the other side of the car.
"Lucas, get out of my car." Brooke said.
"Why, why are you mad at me Brooke?" he asked her.
"I thought that maybe you would want to go to the same college as me." Brooke said. "you know I really like you Lucas, and most people always break up before college and we have a chance to make it work, but obviously you don't want that so you know have fun at Columbia and meet some smart tall pretty girl who you can discuss book…
reading… over and who's everything I'm not and more." Brooke said.
"That's not what I want." Lucas said.
"I'm not doing long distance. Sorry but no way in hell." Brooke said.
"I don't know what to do Brooke; I've wanted to go to Colombia for a really long time." Lucas said.
"Well I'm not quite intelligent enough to go there, so you know I guess we should just break up now before we screw ourselves over some stupid good-bye soap opera goodbye." Brooke said.
"You're asking me to give up my dreams for you Brooke?" Lucas asked her.
"Whoa, well maybe I thought that I was part of your dream Lucas." Brooke said.
"We have not been dating for that long Brooke, did you expect this to be some kind of epic romance?" he asked her.
Brooke looked at him and took in a deep breath "get out of my car Lucas." Brooke said strongly.
"Brooke, I just didn't think that's what you wanted." He said.
"Why because I'm some low-life not smart enough or pretty enough slut, that just wanted to hook up and doesn't have any feelings."
"I do not and never even have thought of you that way." Lucas said.
"You are being so con-freaking-fusing right now Lucas." Brooke said.
"Well there's one thing I want to make straight." Lucas said and pulled Brooke over to him kissing her. Once they pulled away Brooke took another breath and felt the tears forming in her eyes.
"Like I said, confusing." Brooke said.
"I'm not loosing you over this Brooke." Lucas said, still holding her hand.
"So are you going to college with me?" Brooke asked him.
"Can I think about it tonight?" he asked her.
"Oh, you should not have just said that." Brooke said taking her hand away.
"I mean, think about how to tell my mom that I don't want to go to Colombia."
"Because you want to go to Boston or because you don't want to go to college?" she asked him.
"What do you think?"
"I think that if you went to Boston College, I would love you forever." Brooke said.
"Well I love you too." He said.
"yay!" Brooke said leaning over and kissing him. "I knew you would give into me, it's kind of my thing, all guys do." Brooke said.
"Don't want to know." He said.
"So I guess I'm giving you a ride." Brooke said.
"To where?" he asked her.
"My place?"
"That's a yes." He said.
So there ya go, Brooke lucas and Nathan are all going to college, and even though I didn't mention I might as well make peyton haley and Jake go to the same college just to keep all the kids together haha, like that would really happen in real life. Ok so review please…and coming up…
