Chapter 2
Brooke sighed, as she collapsed down onto her mattress, she turned her head slightly and looked at a picture of Lucas picking her up. A small grin was exposed, as she picked up the picture and lightly stroked his face. Brooke was Interrupted when her mom came barging into her room, she jumped and placed the picture back on her bedside cabinet. 'Mom, you seriously need to start knocking', she complained pulling herself up. Brooke's mom sighed and placed her laundry on the bed, 'You don't have anything I haven't seen before honey'. Brooke rolled her eyes and slowly stood, 'I'm gonna go and take a shower'. Brooke was stopped when Victoria grabbed her arm, 'how did your history exam go today?' Brooke shrugged her shoulders 'We'll see' before leaving the room.
The next morning, she jogged downstairs and sat at the breakfast table. 'Good morning sweetheart', Victoria smiled reading the newspaper. 'Morning mom', she replied pouring herself some orange juice. 'Brooke, don't you have cheer practice this morning?' Victoria asked sitting opposite her. Brooke nodded whilst taking a sip of her orange, 'Yeah, Luke's gonna take me today'. Victoria smiled and folded up the paper, 'that boy is good to you'. Brooke nodded and grinned, 'yeah he is'. Brooke began collecting her books together, and placing them into her back. Victoria stood, when there was a knock at the door, she opened it to reveal Lucas smiling at her. 'Good morning Vikki', he smiled walking into the house. 'Lucas, how are you this morning sweetheart?' Lucas smiled, 'I'm really great', he replied sweetly.
Brooke smiled and zipped up her bag, 'Hey Luke', she said walking over to him. Lucas smiled and gave her a hug, 'you feeling better today?' Brooke slowly released herself and smiled as he placed his arm gently onto her shoulder. 'Alright, lets get educated', he laughed pulling open her front door. In the car, Brooke as usual rooted through his glove compartment. 'Okay let's see what we have today, sunglasses, gum, old English papers, and here we go, car porn'. Lucas smiled and shook his head, 'Car porn?' there's some amazing cars in there, and I mean come on a Mercedes Benz SLR, Aston Martin DBR9. Tell me you don't want those cars and you're lying girl'. Brooke laughed and put the magazine back, 'okay, are you actually gonna buy any of those cars?' Lucas shrugged his shoulders, 'I don't know, maybe one day'. 'Right', Brooke replied sarcastically as he continued driving.
Arriving at school, Brooke jumped out of the car and skipped over to quickly hug Lucas. 'I'll see you in gym buddy', she said then rushed off. 'Bye', he laughed watching her rush away. Lucas walked into basketball practice and sat on the bench, the cheerleaders then piled into the room grabbing their pom poms from the equipment rack. 'Hey Lucas', an excited voice yelled forcing him to look up, he then saw Rachel Gatina. 'Hey', he replied as she sat down next to him. Rachel gradually made her way closer to him when she started to talk, 'So you going to Hollywood forever tonight?' she asked placing her arm onto his shoulder. 'Uh, yeah Brooke and I are planning on going together'. Rachel rolled her eyes and fiddled with her hair, 'oh, are you guys together?' Brooke looked over at them, and noticed that Rachel was edging further towards him. 'No, it's not that like that, Brooke's she's my best friend'. Rachel smirked, 'Oh, so you guys are going just as friends?' Lucas nodded. 'Yeah, we've been best friends since kindergarten'. Rachel smiled, 'Aww, that's sweet, you want to do something after?' Lucas noticed that she was practically sat on his lap now, 'Sure why not, I'll call ya'. Rachel unfolded her legs and gave him a kinky smile, 'Okay', before walking away.
Brooke noticed that Rachel was walking towards her, so she quickly turned away trying not to make it obvious she was watching them.
Lucas pulled himself up and ran over to Brooke, clenching her hips forcing her to turn to him. 'You scared me!' she laughed smacking him on the shoulder. Lucas laughed and grabbed the area she hit, 'Damn, you've got power behind that right hook'. Brooke smirked, 'It's all those fights we used to have in your back yard that's toughened me up'. Lucas raised his eyebrow and caught and incoming basketball. 'One on one?' he challenged her. Brooke cockily placed her hands on her hips, 'Okay, let's see if the Play maker can beat a cheerleader'. Lucas threw her the ball, 'I think I can'. Brooke ran with the ball, 'Brooke, you can't run with it' he laughed attempting to catch her. 'Come on Luke, you're the captain of the team. You suck', she taunted running to the other end of the court. Lucas finally caught her and picked her up, he span her around, 'you gonna drop the ball?' he continued still spinning her. 'Noooo!' she laughed as he finally put her down and pulled her into a hug, both out of breath. 'You're really fast', he said struggling for breath as they walked. 'I know', she replied smiling.
