CHAPTER 6 - Under The Influence Of The Green Eyed Monster
Brooke had spent the next week ignoring Lucas, she hadn't forgiven him for what he'd done, and he hadn't apologised to her for doing it. Sure, he felt guilty about upsetting her and that's why he'd taken the pictures down, not that he understood exactly why she'd gotten so upset, he'd just guessed it'd had something to do with a guy called Wayne, and possibly her hatred for Rachel. It was 20mintues into Monday Morning's compulsory general studies class, and Lucas' seat was still empty, but there was nothing new there. The teacher of the class, Professor Whitman, was recognised as being a strict teacher, not one to be messed with, but even he had gotten tired of fighting with Lucas, even he had learnt not to challenge him. And, that's why when the door swung open, to reveal a very tired looking Lucas, who clearly had no equipment with him, Whitman calmly pointed him to the back of the class where he usually took his seat, behind Brooke and Haley and next to Nathan.
As Lucas made his way up the stairs to the back of the lecture room, he saw Chris turned in his seat and deep in conversation with Brooke, who was clearly flirting with Chris to get to Lucas, he knew that, she knew that and Chris knew that. As Lucas approached, Chris looked up at him, giving him a wink and a quick twitch of the eye towards Brooke "The bet still on, man" he said, with a challenging tone. Lucas shook his head at the bet Chris had once set him before, to see who could get Brooke into bed first, he then took his seat behind Brooke, who seemed oblivious to the whole situation as she spoke to Haley.
"Ok, turn to page 52 and do questions one and three" the class did as the Professor requested
"…I just checked the engine in the RV and everything's ready to roll" Nathan informed Lucas "So, you wanna drive down on Wednesday?" Lucas nodded in a agreement with Nathan's words
"We don't seriously have to go to this thing, right?" Haley whined at Nathan, from the seat in front
Brooke twiddled her pencil in-between her finger and thumb "Where're you going?" she asked, making a point of talking to only Nathan and Haley but not Lucas, just as she'd done since the day Lucas had posted half naked pictures of her around campus
"It's their dads birthday…" Haley motioned her finger between Lucas and Nathan "So, we gotta go down to Tree Hill for the week" she sighed, clearly not liking the idea of spending her week long University break with the Scott family.
Lucas relaxed back into his seat and put his feet up on the back of Brooke's chair, she turned around and shot him an evil look "Do you mind?" she asked, sarcastically whilst pushing his foot off of her seat
"Oh, so I actually do exist then?" Lucas asked, sarcastically, after all Brooke had done in the last week was ignore him
Brooke looked him up and down, and forged a smile "Unfortunately, yes"
Nathan wrapped his arms around Haley's back, and coughed a little to break the tension between Brooke and Lucas "Look, you only have to be at the party and the dinner…the rest of the time you can go shopping?" he tried to convince Haley that the trip wasn't going to be all bad
"What? on my own?" she questioned, clearly not liking Nathan's suggestion. Her face suddenly lit up "Wait…you like to shop, right?" she turned to Brooke
Lucas shook his head "Now way, uh, uh…it's a seven hour trip, in an RV…I cant be around her for that long" he dismissed Haley's proposal immediately
The brunette threw Lucas a look once more, raising both of her eyebrows and pouting her lips "As much as I'd love to come…congratulate…Mr. Scott on a lovely son" she narrowed her hazel eyes at Lucas "I'm going to stay with Peyton, and her aunt for the week" she said the latter part of the sentence excitedly
"Oh right…" Lucas smirked and dipped his head up and down "Is this the hot blonde your always talking about?" Brooke flashed him an overly friendly smile that was obviously fake "Hey, maybe we should have her come on our trip?" he spoke of Peyton, and directed his words at Nathan, who was careful not to agree with Lucas, through fear of getting the look of evil from Haley
Haley's face lit up "Wait, that's it" she turned to Brooke "Why don't we pick your friend up on the way, and she can come with us?" Haley asked, after remembering that Brooke had told her that Peyton's aunt didn't live too far away from Tree Hill
"No, no, no" Lucas shook his head, and waved his hand in disagreement "I was only kidding, its bad enough having one chick with PMS on the van…" he looked at Haley, who had been getting slightly touchy lately "Without having one withpermanent PMS on there too" he now looked at Brooke, who rolled her eyes
"So, what do you think?" Haley completely bypassed Lucas' comments and focused once again on Brooke
Brooke looked at Lucas and grinned slightly "You know what?…I think I will come along" she was clearly doing it to displease him "It should be fun"
"Ok, great" Haley said, excitedly

It was one of the hottest days of the year, which under normal circumstances would have been a good thing when going away for the week, but it was a different story when going a way with Brooke Davis. If it would have been a normal temperature, it might have made it a lot easier for Lucas to load Brooke's huge suitcases into the R.V. He didn't know why she hadn't asked Nathan to do it, well that's not true he did know, she hadn't asked Nathan because she didn't hate Nathan and to be fair Nathan hadn't posted huge photographs of Brooke half naked all around campus, something Lucas had felt guilty for up until she'd made him her own personal slave.
Lucas lugged a huge pink suitcase towards the R.V Dan had bought him and Nathan so that they could take visits home, or the R.V. he had bought so that he could still keep some form of control over them "What the hell is that?" Nathan asked, from the top of the stairs which lead up to the entrance of the R.V.
"More of Brooke's crap" he told Nathan, before rearranging the cases that he'd already loaded, to fit what Brooke had promised him was the last case
Brooke followed Lucas, her sunglasses perched on the top of her head and a Louis Vitton bag on her arm. She looked the exact opposite of Lucas, he looked tired, out-of-breath and annoyed, whilst she looked relaxed and comfortable "Its not crap, its my make-up"
Lucas looked down his nose at Brooke "Isn't make-up suppose to make you look…good?"
The brunette bit her tongue and smiled, a fake smile "Well, I seemed to look pretty damn good when you hit on me a couple of months back" she tested him, just as she'd always done since the moment they'd met
"In my defence, I saw your ass before I looked at your face…" he implied that she was just a piece of meat to him "But, now that I've gotten to know you I've realised that there's not much difference between the two. With your head actually being up your ass" he returned the false smile that she had been displaying for him
Nathan could almost feel the tension as silence filled the air, and he was actually glad when he saw Chris Keller approaching, if anyone could break the silence it was him "Wow, nice van" Chris slid his palm over the side of the R.V "You kids got a spare bed going on that thing?" he asked, only to irritate Lucas
"Not for you we aint" Lucas told him coldly before walking up the stairs to the entrance and beginning to sort a few things out in the doorway
Brooke, seeing how Chris was able to get under Lucas' skin decided to join in with the game-playing "I'm sure that there's room for a little one…" she looked at Chris from head to toe "You could always share with me" she teased, as she moved closer to him
"Get in the van, Brooke!" Lucas ordered, as he placed a hand on the door handle, signalling that he was about to leave any minute
"I'm talking" she replied, her eyes focused on Chris
Lucas sighed, and looked at Chris with disgust across his face "Yeah, well, I'm going!" he began to shut the door but Brooke stopped him just in time. She then waved at Chris before walking past Lucas, who still stood with his hand on the door handle
"Call me!" Chris shouted into the R.V. which Brooke had entered "She is totally digging the Keller" he winked at the angry blonde standing in front of him, whilst
Lucas just chuckled to himself in disbelief "Hey, if you don't think I got this one in the bag, take the bet, earn yourself some cash" he challenged Lucas, who shut the door in his face
