I saw no other than Lucas Scott trying to catch up with me. I stand there waiting for him.
" what do you want" I ask
He took a deep breath in , I could tell he didn't want to do what he was doing right now.
" what Peyton did was wrong , now I am guessing your probably on your way telling your parents or max about what happen"
"your right I am" I turn around and started to walk away but Lucas grab my shoulder and turn me around to face him.
" please don't ok we all need this job especially Peyton . Can we make some sort of arrangement on paying you back" he ask . I look at him , he wasn't mean or charming , he was just asking for a favor .
" I'll make a deal with you" I said . He look at me like where was I going with this
" I want to enter that dance competition , but I don't know how to dance , so " I took a deep breath in " I need someone to teach me" he look at me shaking his head , I could tell the evil in him was coming back out .
" hell no" he said " you're a joke , I can't teach you"
I shift my feet from one to the other " I'll pay you " I saw him thinking about it .
" no " he said
" fine I guess you don't have a problem getting fired then" I was about to turn but Lucas spoke up
" alright , alright " I look at him , he look like a little kid who didn't get his way
" but you have to pay me" I nod my head yes .
" ok we meet here tomorrow at 12:00 , got it " he was acting like he was my boss , giving me orders
" fine" I said . I walk away and went back to my cabin .
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas walk back in the building . He saw Nathan making out with Rachel , Jake was dancing with a local person , and Peyton was sitting at a table. He went towards Peyton's table . He sat down across from her.
" you shouldn't have acted like that especially around guest " Lucas stated
" I don't give a fuck , her sister ruin my shoes , I am not like those girls we can just go buy a new pair whenever I feel like it"
" well you should give a fuck because you almost got us fired" Lucas said angry
" what was I supposed to do"
" to drop it Peyton , you don't go around splashing water on one of the richest guest here" Lucas took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.
" what did you do when you catch up with her ? Charm her?" Peyton ask who was obviously jealous
" no , she knows what we do" Lucas said with a cigarette in his mouth
" is she going to rat on us" Peyton ask
" no, I made a deal with her that I would teach her dancing" put his cigarette in the ash tray . He got up and grab a beer from another table and sat back down.
" when" Peyton ask curiously
" tomorrow" he took a sip of his beer .
" no not tomorrow , we were going to spend time together remember" she said mad
Lucas was holding his beer in his hand thinking when did they make this plan ." nope" took another sip of his beer.
" you're an ass" she got up mad .
Lucas up his hands up " what" He didn't know why she got mad . Nathan came over laughing with a beer in his hand.
" im just wonder how you can charm all of these other girls but your own" Nathan said . Rachel came over to the table as well .
" because he is an ass in real life" Rachel said as she sat on Nathan's lap
" hey bitch why don't you go back to the street where you belong" Lucas snap back
" alright" Nathan spoke up ,getting up with Rachel " that's enough , baby why don't you catch up with Peyton to make sure she is ok" Rachel look at Lucas with evil eyes , then look back at Nathan "alright" she gave him a quick kiss and left .
" you sure do know how to work with the ladies Lucas" Nathan laugh
" why don't you shut up bro"
" hey dude chill , I think you need to get some sleep" Nathan said
" yeah I think so too , now that I have to teach that girl to dance" Lucas said while rubbing his forehead
"really?" Nathan was surprise
" unless you want to get fired , I don't really have a choice"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It was 12:00 , I was at the building where people usually come here to dance at night . It was different in the day , just had a different feel to it. I was wearing a simple black tank top , with a white flowy skirt . I had my hair up in a ponytail .I saw the door open and it was Lucas , he was wearing blue jeans and a white mussel shirt . He was very well built , I could see he had a tattoo on his arm , it was just letters . He went over to the record player and put on a song . He then walk over to me grab my hands and we stand across from each other. I moved my feet before the music began .
" No!" he said then he went back to the record player
"Oh, sorry. Sorry" I said I could tell he was already getting mad at me
"You don't step on the one. You gotta start on the two. Find the two. Understand?"
" the two" I said
" yeah the two" he said
The two ? I didn't get what he meant . What was the two ? He walk back over to me
"It's one, two, three, four, got it"
" right um you think you could give me an example?" I ask . He look at me like you got to be kidding
" have you ever dance before , like you do you know any dances?" he ask. It seem like I was annoying him
I shake my head no , he put his head back and made a weird noise
" alright um why don't you show me some moves " he said
" moves?" I said . I felt like I should forget to learn to dance
" just move your body , just show me what you can do"
I look at him like he was crazy I wasn't going to make a idiot of my self in front of him
" um maybe another time"
" look the dancing we are going to be leaning is touchy and sexual but your getting into the music so you can't be embarrass if front of me"
I gave him a tight smile " can you just like show me what you want me to do ? I don't know what moves to do"
He look at me and rolled his eyes " I can see this is going to take a long time" he shake his head " Im not sure your going to lean this dance in time for the competition"
" we can try right?"
" who going to be your partner?"
When Lucas said that I didn't think about it , I totally forgot about a partner.
" do you know someone" I ask
Lucas laugh " boy you didn't think this through"
" haha do you want to get fired" I snap
"agh do you like have to be stuck up " Lucas snap back
" I am not stuck up , but I can introduce you to some if you want"
" alright lets stop here , we got off to a bad start today , lets just stop for today and will meet up here tomorrow" Lucas said calmly
" ok the same time" I ask
" yeah sure whatever"
After that I left and went to the lake where my sister was swimming . I saw her getting out of the water .I went towards her.
"hey hales"
Haley turn around and face me . She look sad.
" Brooke" she said cold
" how was the swim?"
" fine, oh yeah mom and dad were looking for you earlier"
" what for?" I ask
" James Hamilton is coming , also his cousin Dean Costner who is the guy our parents been trying to get me to marry" Dean Costner was the guy my parents been trying to set up Haley with for about two years .I knew Haley didn't want to get married at a young age and be a house wife . I knew she wanted to make something of herself like me but my parents push her into a different direction. As for me they never had any expectation for me to get marry or date . I was like my father and Haley was like my mother . That's why my parents treat us different .
" what are they coming for?" I ask . James Hamilton was only 21 he was rich . He did business with my grand father . I didn't know why he would come down here , but I knew why Dean was , he wanted to ask Haley to marry him of course .
" how should I know" Haley said . I could tell she wasn't in a good mood because she kept snapping at me . I hated the fact that Haley envy me all the time , I always tried to talk to my parents about Haley going to college but they always said Haley doesn't need college . I loved my sister so much, she is my baby sister you know but I felt like I loved her more than she loved me , like she only like me sometimes . Sometimes I wish I was someone else . People hated me because im rich , I supposedly do everything right and never get into trouble , and that I am heading to a successful career. And maybe more that I don't know of .
Haley walk away and left my by the water , I wasn't looking forward to dinner at all.
-----------------------------------------------
In the dinner hall the waiter were getting ready for the guest to come in . As the dancers were in another room . Lucas was sitting down in a chair putting on different shoes , Nathan came and sat down next to him.
" how did you dance lessons go?" Nathan ask. Lucas look at Nathan who was trying hard not to laugh
" wouldn't you like to know"
" I would" Nathan said
" horrible , the girl can't move" Lucas said who was done tying his shoes and got up to be with Peyton . He went to her and gave her a kiss and then left.
-------------------------------------------------
Tonight everyone had to dress nice , tonight was going to be one out of the three best dancing show . I was wearing Strapless Organza Dress in Red . My hair was in a bun . Haley was wearing Water colored Satin Gown in Green (a/n the dress is from the prom magazine with Bethany Joy) with her hair down with curls. We sat down at our table with James Hamilton and Dean Costner . I was bored out of my mind sitting with them , I was wondering when the dancing show was going to start . Ten minutes later the show began , I could see why it was one of the best shows , they did so many different dances , not to mention some of them sang us some songs . I wonder how the last show was going to be , cause I heard around that the last show guest can even do an act or something . But that show wasn't until the end of the summer. The show end and the dancing took a break at a table , just then Dean went to the dance floor with a microphone in his hand .
" excuse me everyone can I have your attention , I have an announcement to make" the room was silent and everyone was giving him their attention .
"Haley" he said pointing at her " I think you are a amazing girl , wait not girl , women" I look at my sister who look worried . " you're absolutely beautiful , smart ,funny" my sister look like she was going to throw up " your family is like my family so I thought it was important that we include your family on this very special occasion" there was a pause of silent " will you marry me" everyone in the room clap there hands or mad a aw sound , I look at my sister who look stunned and was white as a ghost . Dean walk over to Haley and got down on his knees and got out a stunning diamond ring . Haley look at me , I knew she didn't want this but what was she supposed to do with my parents watching and everyone else for the matter of fact . " Haley make me the happiest man alive" dean said waiting for an answer , as so everyone else . The whole room was silent waiting for Haley to give an answer , she kept looking at the ring then at my parents and me . Her eyes form tears , I couldn't imagine what Haley was going through .
" Haley" my mother said . I look around and saw everyone looking at our table , even Nathan , Lucas, Jake , Peyton, Rachel , and the other dancer were waiting on what she was going to say .
" I ah ..I don't know what to say" Haley said in a whisper
" well say yes Haley" my mother said excitedly
I felt like I should do something , but I knew it wasn't my place but I had a feeling that I should speak up for Haley.
" Haley" my mother said " say yes dear"
" mother if she doesn't want to , then don't push her" I said . My parents look at me shock . Haley was surprise .
" Brooklyn , where are your manners" my mother said , I knew she was piss at me
" mom stop , Brooklyn is just trying to be there for me" Haley said she look at me and mouthed thank you , then she turn her attention to dean.
" dean I accept"
" yes you will?"
" yes" Haley said . Dean put the ring on her finger and then kiss her. People clap their hands .
After dinner I went to the barn house , which I called it now .I catch up with mouth and sat down with him at a table , he was talking about what happen earlier with Haley. He knew Haley didn't look like she wanted to marry Dean. I wonder if anyone else notice it . Just then Lucas and his gang came in , and started dancing right away . I watch how they moved , how their bodies connect . Soon the song was over , I saw Lucas and Peyton break away ,Lucas went to his brother and they exchange a few words to each other ,then Lucas turn around and saw me and mouth at the table , he walk over .
" what up mouth"
" hey Luke , you guys did a great performance tonight at the dance show " mouth said
" thanks" Lucas look at me " come on"
I look at him , he put his hand out " what" I said
"you want to learn to dance or what" he said rudely . I got up from my chair and head to the dance area , I didn't grab his hand. Lucas and I stand in the dance floor with the others .
"Bend your knees. Down." Lucas instructed. I did as I was told ,as the song "Love Man" by Otis Redding played in the background .
"Watch. Watch my eyes." he said . I couldn't stare at Lucas too long , it gets weird
" ok good , now roll this way" he said . I copy what he was doing . Then the song was over and everyone stop dancing and clap their hands .
" you did ok , show me those moves tomorrow. Now you can't say you don't know any moves" Lucas said and he walk away. Nathan came up behind me
" hey how's your dance lesson going " I turn around
" it's ok I guess " I said
" where's your sister" he ask
" oh with her new fiancé"
" she didn't look like she wanted to say yes" he said
" yeah I know , it's because she doesn't" I said . Rachel came up behind Nathan and gave him a hug behind his back. He turn around to her . I head her say " dance with me" and he did . I look at Lucas who was smoking a cigarette by the door way. I decided to leave . When I got to the door way I stop in front of Lucas and said bye . He look at me strange like why was I saying bye to him. I walk out and he never said good bye .
