Okay, so I'm so amazed by all the reviews I got last chapter! Thank you so much to all who reviewed! It made me want to update faster! And just to let you guys know, I'm in no hurry to bring Lucas and Brooke together. Okay, enjoy Chapter 3!

Chapter 3

Brooke was walking into school when Rachel caught up with her.

"Hey whore." She greeted.

"Not in the mood Rachel." Brooke said not even looking at her.

"Look, I know why you're not in the mood. But you're going to have to see them sometime." Rachel said.

Brooke looked at Rachel. "You don't know what you're talking about."

Rachel shrugged. "Okay, but I'm just telling you what you won't tell yourself."

Rachel walked away and left Brooke standing there in shock. Brooke knew that she didn't want to deal with the drama that was going to come today but she didn't expect Rachel to know. It was times like these that Brooke really missed Haley. But she would be seeing her after school.

Brooke walked in alone for once, and was smiling at Mouth until she saw a certain couple in front of her. It was Lucas and Peyton. She slowed her pace down when she saw them look at her. They took one look at her and walked away.

Brooke couldn't believe it. They were all supposedly trying to be friends but that was pretty hard when they wouldn't take one look at her. Brooke then walked to her next class, thinking that if they didn't want to be friends, neither did she.

It was finally lunch and Brooke was happy to get out of there. Being at school without any of her friends really sucked. She found out that she was failing calculus and she didn't want to tell anyone because it was embarrassing and Brooke Davis didn't do embarrassing. Rachel said she would help her out tonight by stealing the answers to the test so she could get an A. But things just weren't the same. She missed Haley, and Nathan, and even Peyton. She would hang out with Rachel on the days that she didn't have anyone else, but other then those days she missed her friends. Maybe she and Rachel were friends. Not like the friends that confide in each other and that are always laughing and joking around but Rachel had been there for her sometimes. She pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind so she could eat her lunch in peace…until someone showed up at her table.

"Hey Brooke." Said Lucas.

"And you are?" She asked, annoyed.

"What? Brooke, you know who I am." He said a little confused.

"Oh really? Because in the morning you acted like we didn't even know each other." She said and went back to eating.

Lucas ran a hand through his hair and sat down.

"And I'm really sorry about that. It's just; I don't know I thought that you would want us not to be around you anymore."

"I want us to be friends Luke, like before." Brooke said but immediately regretted saying it. The last time they were friends, he ended up kissing her before California.

"I want that too Brooke." He said.

"So no more weirdness right?" She asked.

"No more weirdness." He echoed.

"Okay, see you later, friend." She said and picked up her stuff to go and meet Rachel.

Brooke walked into her and Rachel's house and walked straight upstairs. She didn't want to steal the test because she didn't want to upset Haley, but she needed to graduate because if she didn't, Haley would be even more disappointed.

"Okay Rachel, I've decided that I want to do this but not because I like cheating, but just because I want to graduate." Brooke announced.

Rachel put her hands up in defense. "Hey don't get all rule book with me. I'm just here for the break in."

Brooke rolled her eyes. "I'm going to the hospital to meet Haley and then I'm coming back here to change so we can go. Deal?"

"Deal." Rachel said as Brooke walked out of the door.

Brooke walked into Haley's room and saw her lying there, looking bored.

"Hey hospital girl!" Brooke exclaimed.

Haley looked up and smiled wide. She missed having people to talk to, especially Brooke.

"I can't wait until I'm out of here so you can stop calling me that." Haley joked.

"Yeah, then it's back to Tutor Girl." Brooke said smiling, showing her dimples.

"Okay, back to business. So school was pretty much boring until I saw Lucas and Peyton making out in the hallway. I looked at them and you know what they did? They walked away! They completely ignored me and walked away."

"But I thought you guys were all trying to be friends." Haley asked confused.

"That's what I thought until the morning! So then it was lunch and Lucas came up to me and started talking to me like we were friends again. So I basically put him in his place and now we are going to be friends like before." Brooke said.

"Like before you guys were dating? Like before when I was on tour and you guys were going to weddings together? Or like before when he kissed you before you left for California?" Haley asked.

"Hales! I know that before when we were friends things were a lot different like…well we fell in love again but this time it will be different because he has a girlfriend. A girlfriend named Peyton who he should have had all along." Brooke said quietly.

Haley sighed. She hated seeing Brooke still hurt over this whole thing.

"Brooke, you know that's not true. He chose to be with you over her many times."

"Yeah but then he would go and hang out with her while I was around doing nothing!" Brooke exclaimed.

Haley looked down.

"Do you remember the first day Lucas and I got back together? He went out with her to go and find Ellie." Brooke said so quiet Haley had to sit up a little to hear her.

"I remember. It was the day that you were working on your 'Clothes Over Bros' line. I was there the whole day." Haley said remembering everything about that day. She knew Brooke was hurt because he wasn't there. She was mad at Lucas that day too; she knew he made the first mistake in that relationship.

"That's right. You were there Hales; you were there the whole time. You were always there for me." Brooke whispered. Haley was there for her even before she knew it.

Brooke got up from her chair and hugged Haley.

"I missed you today." She whispered.

"I missed you too. It was so boring here! I can't wait until I get out." Haley said.

"Yeah, then we can go shopping because you and I both know that we need new clothes and then I was thinking we could stop by the café to grab some food and then…" Brooke was rambling but she couldn't help it. She just wanted her best friend to get up out of the hospital bed and be well again.

Haley gave Brooke a look.

"Or we could just make smores and stay in and watch T.V." Brooke suggested with a crooked smile.

Haley smiled. "I think that's a good idea."

Brooke got back from visiting Haley to find Rachel all dressed in black.

"Wow, your really excited about this aren't you?" Brooke asked.

Rachel smirked. "If you want to break into the school, you have to dress the part."

Brooke rolled her eyes. "Well I approve anyways."

"Good, because your outfit is sitting on the bed. Be ready in 10." Rachel said as she sauntered out of the room.

Brooke sighed, just wanting to get this whole thing over with.

They tiptoed into the school as quietly as they could. They passed by the 'Clean Teens' meeting that was going on. Rachel giggled as Brooke just kept her face facing front. She didn't want to get caught.

They finally reached the room and Brooke was now getting jumpy.

"Okay Rachel I just want to get this over with so hand me the key." Brooke demanded.

Rachel didn't fight; she just handed the key to Brooke and kept watch at the door.

Brooke was flipping through folders faster then she ever has before. She made finally saw the folder labeled 'Calculus.'

"Yes!" She hissed and put the answers in her sock. "Let's get out of here!"

Rachel nodded and they began walked down the hall again. The principal caught them asked them what they were doing here so late at night.

Brooke froze on the spot. She didn't think she would get caught. Maybe she should just come clean…no not worth it. Maybe she could just make up a little lie like she forgot her books or something. But before Brooke could say anything, Rachel piped up.

"We were just here for the 'Clean Teens' meeting. We just want a fresh start you know? Change our ways a little bit. It's our senior year, we want to end it on good terms."

The principal turned to Brooke. "Is that true Ms. Davis?"

Brooke nodded and smiled. So Rachel was a quick on her feet, she liked that.

"Okay then, good luck." The principal said and walked back down the hallway.

Brooke let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"That was so close." She said.

"Yeah well now we have to go into that meeting." Rachel said, irritated.

"What, why?" Brooke asked.

"Because he could always check back up on us and they need to at least know us or think that we are serious about this."

Brooke realized Rachel was right; she needed to be a 'Clean Teen.'

"Okay, then let's go." Brooke said and they hurried into the room.

Brooke collapsed on Rachel's bed exhausted from the night that they had. Rachel came in laughing.

"That was so much fun!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Glad you thought so." Brooke said sarcastically.

"Oh come on, the only thing that sucks is that we have to wear these shirts." Rachel said holding them up to Brooke.

"I guess so." Brooke said. "I'm really tired, I'm going to sleep."

"Goodnight felon." Rachel said as Brooke left the room but Brooke was too tired to come back with anything.

School the next day was good; Brooke had gotten an A on her test so she was happy about that. She still didn't feel right about cheating, but she had to graduate. She was walking down the hall when Lucas came up to her and started walking next to her.

"So what's this I hear that you're now in the 'Clean Teens' club?" He asked with a smirk.

Brooke smiled. "Well you know, I just wanted my senior year to end clean."

Lucas laughed. "So what's the real reason?"

Brooke didn't want to tell him. Sure they were being friends but he would be disappointed in her if he knew the truth. And then the news would spread back to Haley and she really didn't want to lose another best friend. Her gaze roamed over to the Clean Teens club that was sitting at a table. She saw a dark haired guy, she hadn't seen him around before but he was definitely attractive.

"Okay, okay, I saw a really cute guy. The one right over there." She said and pointed him out.

Lucas took one look at him and was already mad.

"So that's the only reason?" He asked.

"Yep. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go socialize with my new club member." Brooke said flashing her dimpled smile before prancing off to meet the new guy.

Lucas sighed as he watched her go to him. He wasn't jealous; he just missed talking to Brooke. She hadn't really been in his life for a long time so he just wanted to spend some time with her. Okay, and maybe he was a little jealous. He was quickly disrupted from his thoughts when Peyton came up and kissed him.

"Hey." She greeted.

"Hey, how've you been? I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages. Or maybe I was just missing you." He said and gave Peyton another kiss.

"Hmm, did I tell you how much I love when you miss me?" She asked.

He laughed and put his arm around her as they walked down the hallway together.

Brooke walked over to the new guy, and greeted him with a sexy smile.

"Hi, I'm Brooke. Are you in this club?" She asked. She really hoped he was.

"Yeah, I'm Chase." He said and immediately Brooke was nervous. Why was she nervous? She just met this guy and he was already turning her into a wreck.

"Nice to meet you." She said and put her hand out.

"You too. So, are you in this club too?" He asked returning the handshake.

"Yep, I just wanted to end my year clean if you know what I mean." She said and raised an eyebrow.

He laughed. "I know what you mean. I wanted the same thing."

Brooke saw his smile and immediately loved it. And, he had the same excuse she did.

"So Chase, do you have a last name?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's Adams, Chase Adams." He said doing a James Bond impression.

Brooke laughed.

"And what about you, do you have a last name?" He asked.

"As a matter of fact I do. It's Davis, Brooke Davis." She said mocking him.

"Oh okay, I see how it is. I do one impression and you make fun of me for it." He said smiling.

"Yeah, but it doesn't go the other way around. If I make a joke, there's no making fun of me." She said with a smile. She was actually having fun talking to him. He was just so nice and he seemed so genuine.

She wasn't sure if she wanted to jump into a boyfriend just yet. But he was so attractive and cute, and funny, that she was thinking about changing her mind. But then she thought he might have a girlfriend.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She blurted out.

"Well that was straight forward." He laughed. She really caught him off guard with this one.

Brooke gave a shy smile. "Sorry, I was just curious. If you don't want to tell me that's fine because some people don't like the forward questions because sometimes they just want to gradually get to know each other but I think that the best way to get to know someone is by being completely honest and straight forward…"

"Brooke." He said and cut her off. He found it so cute that she was rambling.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"I don't have a girlfriend." He said.

Brooke smiled. "Oh."

"Yeah, so any more questions you want to blurt out to me? Because like you, I agree that you need to be forward and honest when you are getting to know someone. Honesty is the best policy."

"Agreed. Well I was also wondering if you're really a virgin because this whole club is full of them and I was just thinking that maybe someone had a secret like they weren't or something and…"

"Wow you really like rambling don't you?" He asked and laughed.

"It's the best way." She said.

"Well if you can keep a secret, yes I'm a virgin. I wanted to come here to get my mind off of girls and actually focus on school for once. But seeing that I met you I think that's basically in the gutter now."

Brooke loved his answer. Should she come clean about the whole 'I'm not a virgin either' thing? If she was being honest about it now, she would just have to be honest all the way through.

"Well, good news for you, I can keep a secret." She said.

"And what about you? Are you really a virgin?" He asked.

She didn't mind his questions. She found them cute, and she loved watching him squirm. He was so kind, even when he was being honest.

"No, I'm not. But I would like to keep that under wraps in this whole club because if they find out I'm afraid they would like kick me out or something." She said and laughed.

He laughed too. "If they did, I would talk them into bringing you back. You know you really are a lot of fun to talk to."

"So I've heard." She said grinning.

"Well it was nice to meet you but I have to get to class. Maybe I'll see you around later?" He asked.

"I'd like that." Brooke said. He smiled and walked away. She was now fully in a good mood. She had to tell Haley all that happened today. And then she would go to the Clean Teens meeting. Maybe being a Clean Teen wasn't going to be so bad, especially if Chase Adams was going to be there.

Okay what did you think? Please review and tell me what you guys think!
