Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to relate with One Tree Hill, if I did we would all have Brucas and live happily ever after.
(A/N: I hope you guys don't consider this a long update, but I did have a hard time writing this chapter, currently there are three other different version but I think this one is best. I am still looking for a beta to help me with spelling an grammer so if interested leave and review or email me at hiphopboy1718atNetscapedotNet! Thanks for reading.)
Chapter Five: Wanna Play a Game?
It was finally Friday, Brooke was walking through the campus of Tree Hill High, she and Lucas had become really great friends ever since that night at the tutor center. They would still argue, but it was more like playful banters than serious disputes, most of the time. She felt someone pull up behind her, they covered her eyes and she heard a small laugh escape from their lips. She knew exactly who it was, she pulled his hand off and turned around to greet him with a hug.
"Luke," Brooke smiled, she saw Rachel standing next to him grinning. "What are you two doing together? Not having an affair behind my back I hope cause nobody likes a back stabbing two faced bitch now do we Rach?"
"I may be a slut, but I am a slut who knows hands off," Rachel laughed as the three began walking towards the school. "You know I'll pick my Hoes over Bros anyways."
"And I'm your top hoe!" Brooke said linking her arm around Rachel's.
"You betcha!"
"You two are like the strangest girls ever to ever step into Tree Hill," Lucas liked Brooke and Rachel, they weren't like everyone else, they were more confident about who they were and felt that they needed to apologize for it. "You two are going to be at tomorrow's party right? This time it's not at Tim's so there won't be as much alcohol so I can assure Brooke and I will not be sleeping together at this one."
Rachel laughed as Brooke glared at her and unliked her arms from Rachel's, "So not funny, whore!"
"Come on Brookie," Rachel playfully nudged her in the stomach. "That was pretty funny, who knows Luke maybe you just might get lucky again."
"That's all on Brooke though," Lucas looked down at the brunette, she was so beautiful. "I mean I definitely wouldn't mind but Miss. Davis here got really pissed off last time."
"Shut up, Luke," Brooke kicked him in the butt playfully. "You won't be getting lucky any time soon so don't count on it, but maybe if someone stop playing games and actually asked me out they would get lucky."
Lucas was about to speak when he heard someone call his name, the three teens turned their head to find the blond sophomore that Lucas had met a couple of weeks ago. He talked to her once in a while but he wouldn't exactly say they were friends or anything close, she walked up to him placing a hand on his shoulder. She reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek, she looked back at Brooke who glaring at her now but she didn't really care, she did that mainly so Brooke would see.
"Sarah?" Lucas looked at her questioning. "What's up?"
"Who is this whore, Luke?" Rachel asked looking the girl up and down, she received a push from Brooke but right now she was just interested on who was making a play at her best friend potential boyfriend.
"Excuse me?" Sarah scoffed at the two girls in front of her, she tossed her hair back and looked back at Lucas. "So are you going to pick me up for tomorrow's party? You know we never finished what we started at the other party, maybe this can be a chance for us to finish what we started."
"Whore!" Brooke coughed as Rachel looked at her amusingly, Lucas looked as if he was stifling a laugh. "Sorry I got a cold."
"Real cute but at least I don't give up to a guy that I've only know for two days," Sarah rolled her eyes, she noticed the shock expression on Brooke's face. "Oh, you thought I didn't know? Well I do, you might have everyone in this school wrapped around your little finger but you definitely don't have me, your a whore Brooke Davis and you will be exposed. Say goodbye Queen Bee."
"Let me hit her," Rachel tried to lunge as Sarah but Brooke held her back, they were beginning to attract some unwanted attention. "Come on, you know you want me to kick her ass."
"I am so over this," Sarah kissed Lucas again, but this time on the lips. "See you at the party."
Sarah walked away leaving a pissed off Rachel and confused Brooke, she looked at Lucas who gave her an apologetic smile. Brooke rolled her eyes and walked away with Rachel, she was angry that he hadn't pushed off the girl and she was also pissed off at what Sarah said. Who the hell was Sarah and why did she seem to have it out for her? And why the hell would she call her Queen Bee? Brooke knew she was popular but she didn't think that she would be consider that high on the popularity chart.
"Cheery and Red-Head!" Haley smiled as Brooke and Rachel walked into the classroom, they all had Math together along with Bevin and her boyfriend Skillz. " What is this I hear about Rachel almost getting into a fight? Then after that I heard Brooke knocked the crap out of some sophomore, I really hope this isn't true."
"It's not," Brooke scoffed in disbelief. "Where do people get this from? Sure we had a exchange of words but I didn't touch her."
"Neither did I, thanks to Brooke," Rachel was still pissed, she turned to Haley. "This sophomore chick was calling Brooke almost every name in the book and then threaten to take her place as 'Queen Bee'. I'm telling you that bitch is Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs."
Haley laughed, she was immediately scolded by her teacher who she hadn't realize entered the room. Once she turned around Haley turned to Brooke, "Lucas thinks your mad at him, are you?"
"Not anymore," Brooke whispered to Haley making sure they wouldn't get caught talking. "I was kind of pissed off but it's not his fault that slut came up and kissed him, she's lucky I am trying this no fighting thing because I was this close from kicking her ass along with Rachel."
"Well I am here if you need me," Haley smiled. "Your going to the party tomorrow, right? I was invited and I couldn't say no and since Nathan's working tonight I don't want to go alone."
"What about Lucas?" Brooke asked.
"I really can't deal with a drunk Lucas," Haley remembered previous party she attended alone with Lucas, she also remembered that he ended up wasted and she had to take him home and explain to Karen and Keith what happened. "Say you'll go with me please?"
"Of course tutor girl!" Brooke yelled kind of loud causing the whole class to look at her, she looked up at the teacher nervously.
"Brooke!" the teacher said sternly.
"Sorry."
"There's my best friend," Haley smiled as she wiped the counters of Karen's Cafe, she put down the rag she was using and hugged Lucas. "So what brings you here, aren't you suppose to be in school?"
"I could ask you the same question," Lucas raised his eyebrow at Haley who looked at him weird. "Okay, I know you finish early you don't have to rub that in my face. I left early because I wasn't feeling well and by that I mean Brooke was giving me deathly glares all day and I couldn't take it."
"Are you sure?" Haley asked confused, she could of swore Brooke said she was okay, unless Lucas did something completely idiotic. "Lucas, please don't tell me you weren't with that sophomore when she saw you?"
Lucas looked slightly nervous and received a punch in the shoulder from Haley, "Hey, what's that for?"
"You're an idiot," Haley shook her head, Karen came out of the back with two plates of food. "How could you do that you know Brooke hates Sarah?"
"Brooke hates Sarah?" Karen asked as if she knew what they were talking about. "What did he do now?" she asked knowingly.
"Why do you all underestimate me?" Lucas questioned as Karen and Haley gave him a stern look.
"Lucas you better not be playing with Brooke's emotions," Karen warned him. "She comes in here a lot and she's the only girl that I can tolerate that you talk to beside Haley. The other girls that you interact with are, I hate to say, slightly dimwitted."
"Where's Keith?" Lucas asked. "I know he will have my side on this."
Haley laughed, "That was funny, you know Keith would probably kick your a-s-s for lying and being an idiot."
"Keith is out of town but he won't be back until tomorrow. Also just so you know we invited Brooke and Rachel for dinner Sunday night, Haley you and Nathan can join if you like?" Karen asked as she placed the plates on the customers table.
"I'm sure we can make it," Haley nodded her head. "Nathan had to speak with Keith anyways, I can't wait until you two get married. Do you have a dress yet?"
"No but Brooke actually offered to make me one," Karen said to Lucas and Haley's surprise. "She's a fashion designer, haven't you two noticed those clothes her and Rachel wear aren't in stores anywhere?"
"Yeah actually I did," Haley thought. "Well let me get back to the tables and Lucas your going to have to stop playing these games, if Brooke's the one you want like you say you do then fight your hardest to get her and stop playing these dumb ass games."
"What games?" Lucas knew exactly what she was talking about, Karen went into the back of the Cafe again to let the two teens talk."
"Don't play stupid," Haley picked up the tray Karen had left. "You like Brooke so go for it, she's not going to wait forever Luke, she's like the most popular girl at our school and people are lining up to date."
"I know Hales," Lucas nodded his head in agreement with his best friend. "But I don't know, the thrill of the chase is fun."
"Half of the time," Haley began walking away. "But the other half ends up with the girl thinking the boy is a complete ass having everyone including his best friend beginning to hate him for hurting the girl, we don't want that do we?"
"But I got a feeling she likes the games though!"
"I do, Rach, I really do," Brooke groaned as she fell in her bed and pulled the covers over herself. "I really love the games we play and it like really turns me on but sometimes I wished he would just ask me out or something."
"So why do play along just go for it," Rachel said it as if it was the easiest thing in the world, but it wasn't to Brooke. "Look you like him and you know he likes you so ask him out, most likely tomorrow at the party."
"I'll do it," Brooke nodded her head. "I'm going to ask Lucas to be my boyfriend, I can't believe he was right, I fell for him and you won the bet. This totally sucks."
"Well," Rachel shrugged. "I'll tell you what you owe me later."
"Anyone home?" they heard a voice call out, Brooke sprung out of bed while Rachel pulled out a bat she had in her closet.
"Since when do you own a bat?" Brooke jumped behind her.
"Since I've been sleeping with someone on the baseball team," Rachel approached the door cautiously as she began to open it, they headed towards the staircase and looked down to see if they could see anyone. "Lucas how did you get in here?"
"You guys leave the door open," Lucas looked up at the two girls, he grinned when he saw the bat in Rachel's hand. "Thought I was trying to rob you?"
"Actually no," Rachel hid the bat behind her back. "Well you obviously you want talk to your girlfriend, I'll just get back to my room and no making out and if you do someone better leave me with some details." She grinned as she headed towards her room and Brooke rolled her eyes as she made her way down the stairs.
"What's up?" she asked casually.
"Just wanted to see," Lucas winked at her. "That's not a problem is it?"
"Not really," Brooke shrugged as she crossed her arms. "So where's Sarah?"
"Brooke, it's not like that," Lucas spoke softly but you could still hear the anger in his voice. "Sarah is just a girl that I happened to make out with once, beside that she's not really anyone. I want you, Brooke."
"I want you too," Brooke smiled, as she placed her hands in his. "So what do we say about you taking me to tomorrows party as a couple?"
"About that," Lucas looked nervously at Brooke. "Sarah asked me to take her earlier and I kind of said yes, but trust me it means nothing."
"Whatever," Brooke removed her hands from his, she led him to the kitchen, he couldn't tell whether she was angry or she was really okay with the fact that he was taking Sarah. "I'm grabbing a soda, you want one?"
"Sure," Lucas nodded his head to her offer. "So you're okay with this?"
"Well sure, I mean we're not boyfriend and girlfriend are we?" Brooke questioned as he looked at her for an answer. "So you can take Sarah and I can take Chase Adams, he already asked me and turned him down but I guess now I'll take what I can get."
"Your taking Chase?" Lucas smiled, Chase was a clean teen, there was no way anything could happen. "Well it's not a date is it?"
"Not that you should care," Brooke leaned over the counter handing Lucas a soda, she opened hers and took a gulp, she placed it on the table and look Lucas straight in the eyes. "But yeah, it is a date."
"I thought you didn't do relationships?"
"Well I changed my mind," Brooke shrugged. "You know sort of like you did when you picked Sarah over me."
"I thought you were okay with that," he sighed, the last thing he wanted was Brooke mad at him. "I can dump her if you like."
"No," Brooke replied quickly. "I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me so don't do that to her, I don't care how much of a bitch she is, don't dump her for me. Plus if me and Chase hit off your going to need a rebound girl."
"You like to do that don't you?" Lucas took a sip of his soda, he saw that Brooke had a questioning look on her face. "You like to make me jealous, but two can play that game Brooke Davis."
"So this is game now?" Brooke asked as she kinked her eyebrow.
"If you want to make it that way?" Lucas took another drink of his soda, he was immediately struck with an idea. "How about we make a bet, if I make you jealous then you take me out on a date."
"And if I win?"
"I take you out on a date," Lucas held out his hand. "Deal?"
"One condition," Brooke said before holding out her hand. "If you sleep with Sarah the deals off."
Lucas nodded his head as Brooke shook his hand, "This is going to be fun."
"Yeah," Brooke smiled as she looked into Lucas eyes. "Game on, Lucas Scott."
"Game on, Brooke Davis."
