"Hey buddy!" Haley came and sat besides me. It was break and I was sitting in the quad eating an apple.
"Hey." I greeted her. "So what's got you so cheered up?"
"The boy toy auction!" She replied excitedly. "I'm going to bid on Nathan, of course and you my best friend, need
to plan something great for me!"
"I have a few ideas..." I dragged the words formulating a master plan in my mind.
"I knew you would! You are really awesome." She answered as if she just had a lightbulb moment.
"Tutor Girl is getting slow." I commented as if she should have already known about my awesomeness.
"So you bidding on Lucas?" She asked as she hinted that she wanted my bar of chocolate that I had on the table.
"Yeah." I replied as a blush crept its way to the tip of my cheeks as I handed her the chocolate bar.
"Any plans?" She asked.
"Yeah. Strip Club!" I smirked.
"And there goes our meaningful conversation." She said rolling her eyes at me. "Okay, I'm heading to the tutor centre. Text me the details. Thanks for the treat."
She waved bye and exited. I just smiled as I continued eating my apple and reading a book I had picked out of Lucas' bookshelf.
"And next we have Skills who claims to have mad skills to impress." Whitey announced as Skills walked on stage wearing his basketball uniform.
"Can we get thirty dollars?" Whitey's voice boomed across the auditorium as I could hear shouts of thirty-five and forty erupt.
"And Skills goes to Bevin for forty dollars. Pay up and take your boy toy!" Whitey auctioned.
"Next we have... oh. Tim." This was followed by Dim, as I like to call him entering wearing the Ravens' mascot uniform. "So do we have a twenty? Ten?" Nobody bothered.
"Oh I will make him work at the cafe. Eight dollars?" Karen asked.
"And sold!" Whitey immediately bellowed.
"Next, Nathan Scott!" He announced.
"Forty dollars! Fifty! Fifty five!" Were the shouts I heard from around the large room.
"Brooke. I cannot lose Nathan. Lend me some money. All I have is fifty." Haley panicked.
"Yeah yeah. Go higher!" I yelled out.
"Sixty dollars!" I heard her scream.
The bar was raised to seventy-five.
"Eighty!" I yelled on her behalf.
"Eighty, going one, going twice. Sold to Haley for Eighty dollars!"
Hales jumped in glee as Nathan gave a goofy smile from the stage. He was only wearing his gym shorts, might I add.
"Now, the last guy for the night. Lucas Scott!" Whitey said.
He walked in shyly. Oh god, I thought my heart was going to explode in my chest.
"Fifty dollars" I started the bid.
"Sixty!" Somebody said from the back.
"Seventy!" I yelled excitedly.
"A hundred dollars!" The same voice smirked.
Wait who was that? Who would raise the bid that high?
"Hundred and five!" I wasn't backing out.
"One fifty." She said. Wait. Who was this girl?
Then I saw her. I could have recognised those golden locks anywhere. It was Peyton.
"Two Hundred." I finished.
"Two Hundred. Going once, going twice. Sold!" Whitey announced as I felt some relief in the pit of my stomach.
"Congratulations Brooke!" Haley bounced about.
"Yeah. So here is your date. Have fun." I said while handing her a baby pink envelope.
"What is this, Tigger?" She asked me cutely.
"Your dream date. Just follow the envelopes and do what they say. Now go have fun with your boy toy. Don't forget your midnight kiss!" I smirked and bounced off to pay up for Luke.
"Hey Lukie." I greeted him in my Cheery voice. I was determined to not let Peyton get to me.
"Hey Pretty Girl. Two Hundred Dollars! Really?" He asked astounded.
"Yeah. It was worth it. I have some chores around the house anyway!" I joked.
"Yeah, yeah." He said tickling my sides.
"Lucas Scott!" I yelled between fits of laughter as I squirmed in his arms.
"Well well. Look who are back together?" A cold voice said as a lean figure walked towards us.
"What do you want Peyton?" I asked curtly.
"Lucas." She was quick.
"Well sorry, but I don't think that's happening." I answered.
"Hey, it didn't stop me the first time." She commented. "Besides, are you'll even really together? I mean how could Lucas date you again after what you did to him?"
"That's it!" I lunged myself forward.
"Hey! Hey!" Lucas caught me! "Brooke, forget it. She is really not worth our time. Relax there Feisty! Come on let's go. I'm sure you must have something planned for us to do."
"Hmm." I replied before he guided me out.
"Game on." Peyton whispered in my ear as I was passing by.
