AN: Thanks everyone for reviewing…oth2007, Mony19, honey1007, haydenisheaven2000, and Monica cause I actually know your name.
Enjoy…btw, this is not Brucas…only in the beginning, or in high school times…
Graduation, Present time
"So, funny thought, remember the first day, when you were all excited about it?" the boy asked.
"Shut up, I don't want to talk about that, I didn't know this was going to be the suckiest year ever," She said, hitting him on the arm playfully.
"It was cute Brooke, only I never knew you to be one excited for school. You being miss party girl."
"Blame it on temporary insanity, cause that's what it was."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Beginning of Senior Year
"Okay, so I have to plan this back to school, end of summer party. I was thinking, maybe beach party, luau kinda thing going on," she said to Luke, who clearly wasn't paying attention, nodding along, "and then I thought I'd strip naked, and do a strange tribal dance in front of the entire student body, and then going skinny dipping."
"That sounds good Brooke," he said, extremely distracted.
WHACK!
"Hey, that hurt," he complained as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well maybe you should pay attention, did you hear any of what I said?"
"Yea, you wanted to have a beach party or what not."
"How about after that?"
"No…"
"You're an idiot, why do I even bother," she said.
"Cause you love me," he said, going over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her quickly on the lips.
"Ah, yes, that's why," she said, getting more into the kiss. Which he soon broke away from.
"I've gotta go, I have to help Nate with some stuff," he said, being vague, almost too vague.
"What stuff, and why are you suddenly so busy when we hang out?"
"I just have to go, I'll call you later," and with that, he was out the door. Leaving a slightly depressed Brooke in his wake.
"I love you too," she said flopping on her bad completely bummed. So she decided to call Peyton.
RING RING
"Why isn't she picking up, where the hell is she?"
"This is Peyton's cell, you know what to do," was the message.
"P. Sawyer, where are you, I need you, Luke left me, well not left me, but he's not here, and I'm bored, well I'm on my way to your place now, call me if I'm not there already."
And she was off…
When she pulled up to Peyton's place, she saw Jake sitting on the front step.
"What are you doing out here?" she asked, "shouldn't you be up there in a compromising position that I walk in on?" she joked.
"Gee Brooke, it would be so much more fun if you didn't talk about it," he said, very sarcastically.
"You know you love it Jake," she joked.
He deadpanned, glaring at her.
"I was just kidding Geez," she said, "so why are you out here again?"
"The door's locked."
"What, she never locks the door, why would she lock her door," Brooke panicked.
"I don't know, but it's happened like 3 times now, and it's starting to bother me."
"You're big and strong, break it down."
"Brooke, I'm not going to break down a door, let alone hers. I'll just get an explanation that will sound vaguely like a lie tomorrow."
"Fine I'll do it," she said, getting ready to charge at it.
"Whoa, Brooke, no," he said holding her back.
"Fine."
"Why do you care so much," he said, not noticing that he was still holding her back. Her not caring at all.
"Cause she's my best friend, and it feels like I'm being lied to by the two most important people of my life."
"Why?"
"Cause she said she was going to be with you this afternoon, and Luke said he was going to help Nate with stuff."
"How is that lying, besides the fact that me and Peyton aren't together?"
"He said 'stuff', and I don't think he could've been any vaguer," she said, trying, but failing at trying to make it sound like she didn't care.
"Brooke, to tell you the truth, I should be helping Nate too, but I decided to spend my time here on this step."
"Really?"
"Yea, he's just moving some stuff into the apartment, he wanted me and Luke to help him. Does that make you feel better?"
"Yea, thanks Jake," she said, hugging him.
"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Yea," she said hugging him one last time, making her way down the walkway, "oh, Jake, can you tell her to call me."
He nodded.
Graduation
"Hey guys," Nate said coming up to them.
"Hey Nate," Brooke said, "What's up?"
"We're starting to get into alphabetical order," he said, awkwardly.
"Thanks, we'll be there in a minute," the boy said.
"Too bad we can't sit by each other, it would make this thing better," Brooke said.
"I know, but I don't see how D's are by J's."
Did I just give it away?…damn…
Anyway, that was the latest…I thought I should have her interact and build her character with others…I'll have her with the other's too…sorry for the lack of any other people…I'm tired, and sick, and about to pass out…
leave me a review...
