Thanks for reading, thanks for your patience, thanks for the support, thanks for the feedback, and thanks for the constructive criticism! He will never
leave you, nor forsake you. "There is always hope." (Aragorn v.)
Peyton smiled to herself as she walked up to her locker. Brooke was waiting for her expectantly. Peyton gave her a nod. Brooke moved aside so Peyton could get in
her locker. Brooke sighed. Peyton smirked.
"Spill, gossip girl." Brooke said, rolling her eyes.
"Sure, Lois Lane," Brooke hated being called her, and she quotes, "I am not that damsel in distress." "Nate has moved on. He's with tutor girl."
"She's a damsel in distress."
"You don't mean…"
"When have you ever seen the Disney princess with anyone other than Lucas?"
"I respect that."
"Ugh. It's so boring."
"It is STD free." Peyton said, in a sing-song voice.
Brooke rolled her eyes.
"You're no fun." Brooke pouted.
"You're all the fun I need."
Brooke perked up at that. She immediately spotted Lucas a few lockers down. She skipped up to him. He gave her a weird look. Peyton put her hand over her mouth
to stop laughing.
"Hey handsome, how do you feel about the new it couple?" Brooke was beaming.
Luke was amused.
"Who?" He noticed Peyton and took the bait.
"It's Nathan and tutor girl! Where have you been?"
"Tutor girl? Who's tutor girl?"
Haley quickly walked past. Then it suddenly clicked. He slammed his locker shut and hurried after her. Brooke looked confused.
"I told her to be careful." Peyton said, shaking her head as she walked up behind Brooke.
