A/N: So as promised here's the next chapter. I feel like I use the word "so" a lot. If it's annoying sorry! Oh and about the timeline of this fic, it's kind of a mush up of all the seasons. On the Brucas front it's after the first time Luke kissed Peyton and for Naley it's after Haley comes back from touring with Chris but in this it's happening all at the same time.

McDonald's
"Hmm," Brooke gazed at the menu, as Nathan went to see what movies were available for rent at the Redbox.
"Next," called the cashier.
"Hold on," Brooke paused and called over to Nathan, "Natie I'm ordering for you! Ok, I'd like a yogurt parfait, 20 Chicken McNuggets, a cappuccino, a cinnamon hot chocolate, an apple pie, 2 large fries, and 2 M&M McFlurrys, please."
Nathan walked over and glanced at the receipt.
"Jesus Christ! Brooke, we just had lunch two hours ago!"
"You can't blame me for having a big appetite!"
Nathan just shook his head and grabbed the food.
"So," said Brooke as they walked out of McDonald's, "I was thinking, since you're, like my best friend it would make a lot of sense if I got ready with your girlfriend. Drop her at 5 'kay?"
"Look Brooke, you don't have to check if I actually ask Haley ok? I will."
Brooke sighed. "Okaay…but I still kinda want to get ready with her. She is my friend you know."

Tree Hill High
Brooke patted her surprisingly flat stomach, "Mmm that was good!"
"Don't you even feel a little guilty like most girls would?" asked Nathan.
"Nope, and by now you should know I'm not like most girls Scott. We should really get to class. We've been gone for two periods and sixth period is gonna start soon. People will know we skipped if we don't go to sixth."
Nathan shrugged, "I guess you're right. What do you have?"
"Oh um…gym," Brooke said as she made a face.
"With…Lucas, Peyton, and Haley."
"…yeah….you too though, right?"
"Yup, got transferred."
"Three to two. Cool."
"No sides remember?"
Brooke rolled her eyes.
"Whatever."

Gym Class Sixth Period
The bell rang just as Nathan and Brooke walked in. They walked over to Haley and both sat down.
"Hey, you two skipped?" whispered Haley.
Nathan and Brooke glanced at each other. They knew that Haley didn't approve of their sometimes habit.
"Um Nathan has something to say to you." said Brooke.
"Well, what is it?"
Nathan glared at Brooke, "I was um wondering if you'd want to go with me to Tim's before-winter-break party."
"…like as a date?" asked Haley.
"Um yeah…."
"I-…sure. Um so seven I guess?"
"Uh, yeah sure. Sounds good."
"Scott! James! Davis! Get changed!" yelled Whitey.

Girls Locker Room
"Well, well. Look who finally decided to show up." scoffed Peyton.
"Peyton, would you give it a rest?" said Haley.
"Haley, it's ok just ignore her."
"No Brooke! You two were best friends, and now because of some guy, even if that guy is my best friend, you're hostile to each other? Call me crazy but it's just not right." exclaimed Haley who then threw her gym bag down on the floor and left the room.
Brooke sighed, "Peyton, I think she's right. I mean come on this shouldn't happen because of a boy. Because of Lucas."
"Whatever Brooke. You weren't that great of a friend anyway. You knew I liked him. You were jealous whenever he was with me, even when I assured you I wouldn't do anyth-"
Brooke cut Peyton off. "When you assured me? Then why did something happen? Hunh? Cause I know that Lucas was with ME when you KISSED him!"
"Well the only reason I kissed him was because everyone knew I was better for him! Even Haley knew that! I don't know when or why she switched to team Brucas but whatever!"
Brooke shook her head, "You really are something else, Peyton. I can't believe I was best friends with you. Screw you!" shouted Brooke as she left the locker room full of staring girls.

Boys Locker Room
"Hey man, Peyton said you skipped Hamilton with Brooke." said Lucas to Nathan.
"Yeah I did, so?"
"Look, I just wanna say I'm not gonna make you 'choose sides' or any of that girl shit."
"I don't really care, Lucas. We both know exactly whose side I'd choose so it doesn't even matter. This is your mess; I don't care how you clean it up. Just don't hurt Brooke." said Nathan as he walked into the gym.

Tree Hill High hallway
Brooke, fueled by anger and frustration, stormed down the hallway to the boy's locker room, not even paying attention to Haley who was waiting for Brooke. When she reached the door she almost stopped but decided that she'd have to face him sooner or later, and she'd rather have it happen when she decided instead of whenever it did happen. Without knocking to ask if everyone was dressed, she stormed in, which turned out to be a mistake. She ran right into a shirtless Lucas.
"Woah, oh um hi Brooke," greeted Lucas.
Brooke blushed. Even if Lucas hurt her, she couldn't deny that he was hot.
"Um. Hi. I just came here to ask what happened to Peyton. She just totally freaked out at me, and even though I did freak out back, it was only because she started it first."
"I….I don't know what you mean. Peyton's still the same. I guess she's just mad that I chose you first; even when I knew she liked me. And I guess she must've heard me when I told Haley that I chose you cause she had loads of problems."
"Oh great. So you chose me because I was easy. Who knew that I'd actually have more problems, hunh? Whatever Lucas, as far as I'm concerned you and Peyton are both dead to me."
Brooke walked towards the gym, not looking back at Lucas, wondering if she was going to regret what she'd just done.

Gym Class Sixth Period
"Took y'all long enough to get dressed," bellowed Whitey, "next time it takes this long then suicides for all of you! Don't think that just because this is gym you can slack off! Get into partners and jog the five laps with them!"
Luke and Peyton paired up and Nathan asked a hesitant Haley to be his partner. Rachel Gatina, one of Brooke's best friends, had finally decided to show up, so Brooke and her partnered up.
"What's up slut?" greeted Rachel.
"Doing fabulous whore," replied Brooke.
To most, this would be a weird greeting, but joking around was the basis of their friendship.
"I saw you storm into the boys locker room. How'd that go?"
"Ugh I do not want to think about that I ran into him shirtless and-"
"That's hot," interjected Rachel.
"And, as I was saying," continued Brooke, "I basically told him that he and Peyton were dead to me."
"Way to go, Brooke!" congratulated Rachel.
"Rachel! I'm serious! What am I gonna do?"
"Yes, what are you going to do?"
A/N: I have a few more sentences written, but no good ending to the next few sentences so I just ended it here. I hope people read this and like it cause my throat is real dry for some reason and it feels weird but I stayed up to finish this .
