A few weeks had passed. Brooke opened one eye to look at the clock. It was 6:45 she had to get up now for cheer practice with the team.

She pulled herself out of bed and her ears blasted as her phone rang, she sighed and flipped it open rubbing her eyes , "Hello?". she muttered.

"What's this i hear about you and some guy?", It was Brooke's Ex-boyfriend Felix. Brooke groaned , "Ughh... what do you want Felix?".

He was silent for a while, "who is this guy?". Felix was still in love with Brooke, and obviously the feeling wasn't mutual.

She yawned and stretched her arms, "Look, I'm tired and i need to get ready for cheer practice so..." He interrupted. "Typical Brooke, you never deal with your problems".

"what are you talking about?" Brooke said as she felt she had been misjudged. "You never once fought for anything, we broke up you saw me with other girls. You never

felt anything did you?" Brooke couldn't reply , she didn't know what to say. Felix continued , "What makes you think this relationship is gonna be any different?, you think you're too

good for everybody". "No not everybody , just you". she hung up the phone and let out a slight laugh. "Hello?", Felix said as Brooke had put down the phone.

She walked towards the window , opened the blind and smiled as she saw Lucas running by her house. When she arrived at school she headed straight for the locker room to change

for practice. "Hey guys". she said to the other girls in the room. "Hey". the girls replied. Bevin skipped over to Brooke, "So, how's Lucas?". Brooke smiled, "Fine".

a little confused as to why she asked.

After Practice the school bell rang and all the girls headed for first period. Lucas walked down the hall and Brooke smiled at him , "Hey". Lucas walked up to her and lightly kissed her.

They had been dating for at least a month now, they were happy. Most of the time Brooke forgot he was just a bet. "I saw you running this morning". "Oh Yeah?" Lucas replied holding her hand.

"What did you think?" hoping for a positive answer. "Nice". She smiled clenching onto his hand. "So were did you Wanna go tomorrow night?". Lucas asked.

"Hmm... what about the movies?". He laughed and opened his locker door, "Movies?". "Yeah It's dark , quiet and the perfect place to make out with your boyfriend". she smiled.

"All very good reasons". Replying as he sweetly kissed her against the lockers. "I'll pick you up at 6 okay?". "Perfect". as he started walking away.

"Cya later boyfriend". He turned around and smiled. Rachel stood next to her and saw Brooke smiling, "Kinda seems like you're getting attached". Brooke looked at her and walked away, knowing

full well that she was right.

Lucas knocked on Brooke's door and her mother answered. "Hey , is Brooke home?" he asked nervously. Brooke came skipping down the stairs , "Hey, Luke".

she opened the door and brushed past her mom , "I won't be home late". dissapearing down the path to Lucas' car.

They arrived at the movies , "Okay , so comedy or horror?". She as she looked at the movie screenings. "You pick". Lucas replied trying to be generous.

"Not horror , come on who could wanna make out watching somebody being sliced open?". Lucas smiled, "Me". Brooke slapped him on the arm , "You're disgusting".

They both laughed and said , "Comedy". heading for the ticket stand. They sat in their seats and watched the previews. "I love watching these". said Brooke.

"Yeah me too". He replied smiling at her. Bevin and Rachel were at the ticket booth asking is they had seen what movie Brooke and Lucas had gone into.

"Bevin, no Lucas is not Chinese". Rachel said as Bevin gave a wrong description of what he looked like. "The girl is kinda pretty , brunette. She came with a hot blonde guy".

The girl at the ticket booth shook her head , Rachel sighed. "Oh forget it, i want a ticket for every movie screening right now".

The last movie they tried was the one they were in , Rachel took off her jacket. "Oh my god". she looked on the back row and saw them kissing.

"They're making out". Bevin said. "You think?". Rachel replied sarcastically. "I don't think she's gonna beat me this time". as she headed for the exit.

After The Movie Had Finished, they got out of their seats both half asleep and headed for the car. "Do you remember anything about the movie?", Lucas asked laughing.

"No. who was even in it?". Brooke replied yawning and laughing at the same time. Lucas opened the car door for her and she slid in making herself comfortable on the seat. He started the car and noticed that

she was gradually falling asleep. Half way down the road he smiled at her and stroked her face whispering ,"Pretty girl". Brooke slowly placed herself on Lucas' shoulder and continued sleeping.

He smiled and put his arm around her.

when they finally got to Brooke's house she was practically comatose on his shoulder, Lucas stopped the car and gently stroked her arm whispering , "Brooke?".

She didn't wake up, so he opened the her car door and picked her up, holding her in his arms. she leaned on his chest and brought her arms up around his neck.

He opened her front door and carried her to her bedroom , slowly placing her in bed and tucking her in. She flattened her head in the pillow when Lucas quietly laughed stroking her hair.

"Goodnight pretty girl". he whispered as he turned out her light and closed her bedroom door. When he left Brooke opened her eyes and smiled.

Lucas got back in his car and drove home. When he arrived he slid into his bed and smiled thinking how lucky he was.

The next school morning he was woken up by Peyton sat on his bed , "Morning Luke", she said cheerily. He groaned ,"Peyton?, what time is it?".

She laughed , "10:30 , and you're like for serious Dating Brooke?". Lucas pulled a pillow over his head , "Yes. now please leave". Peyton laughed , "How'd you get so lucky?".

Lucas lifted the pillow and wondered what did make him so lucky. Why did Brooke all of a sudden like him? , i mean she ignored him since pre-school.

He rubbed his eyes and pulled himself out of bed. His phone rang and the caller ID read 'Brooke', he answered. "Hey Brooke".

"Lucas , can you meet me at my locker when you get to school?". "Yeah sure". He replied pulling off his shirt , "Okay cool coz i need to tell you something very important".

"Okay cya then". Lucas replied wondering what it was she couldn't say to him over the phone.

Brooke hug up and looked at Bevin smiling , "Why are you so happy Brooke?". Bevin asked. "Because i'm saying to Lucas, the words i have never said to any other boy"

Bevin looked confused , "3 words Bevin". Brooke tried to give her easy hints. "I don't know what you mean , but good luck with that". She smiled skipping off.

Brooke had never felt this way about a boy before , she knew how she felt and she was going to tell him.

Lucas arrived at school and was heading to meet Brooke , he saw her then his attention was stolen "Lucas?". He turned around to see Rachel smiling.

"Hi , Rachel right?". She walked over , "Yeah , can i talk to you for a sec?". "Can it not wait until later, Brooke want to talk to me". he said walking off.

"You're a bet you know.... Lucas turned around. "I'm a what?". he replied sounding very hurt. "Brooke , she bet she could make you fall for her and turn you into prom king".

Lucas looked very hurt , he turned to look at Brooke laughing with some of her friends. He looked back at Rachel , "A bet?". Rachel pretended to feel sorry for him.

"I'm sorry Lucas , i told her not to do it. But she wouldn't listen". Lucas exhailed deeply and rubbed his head roughly, he didn't know what to do with himself.

"Excuse me , I've gotta go". He walked off and tried with everything he had not to cry. He walked straight past Brooke and she smiled as he walked past her with a hurt expression.

Brooke looked at him and then looked over at Rachel who was smiling. Brooke knew what just happened......
