"Are you having a good time?" Haley asked Nathan.
"What? Oh, yeah." Nathan was startled out of his daze by her voice.
"You look a little distracted."
"I just can't believe that I'm here with the hottest girl in Tree Hill." He said playfully. She did look good tonight, but then again, so did Brooke. Nathan couldn't help but glance over at Brooke as she danced with just about every other guy in the place. He found himself feeling the slightest bit jealous.
"Do you want to dance?"
Nathan shook if off and smiled at Haley. "Sure." He linked hands with her and pulled her onto the dance floor.
Brooke was pressed against a very cute guy that she thought was named Justin. Rachel was dancing next to them with one of Justin's friends. Brooke had to admit, she was having a good time just letting loose and not having to worry about who's ex boyfriend she was with.
Brooke spun to face Justin with a smile on her face, but as she did, she caught a glimpse of Nathan and Haley dancing. Her smile faltered, and for a moment, she stood still, but then her gaze turned steely, and she faced Justin again. Taking his face in her hands, she kissed him full on the lips. As she drew back, she said "See ya around." with a coy smile, and sashayed right past Nathan and Haley. She could feel both of their gazes on her back, and that put a little more bounce in her walk and a little more swing in her hips.
"Not wasting any time, I see." Rachel said casually as she joined Brooke at their table. They both took sips from their drinks before surveying the floor for their next victims.
"Him? I'm just playing. Too bad he's a lousy kisser. He was cute, though."
"Not that I'm one to talk, but…don't you think you should deal with this Nathan thing?" Rachel looked at Brooke meaningfully.
"Who says this is about Nathan? Maybe I just…"
"Brooke, please," Rachel interrupted, "You've dry humped half the guys in here tonight. I was there when you broke up with Lucas, remember? You kissed Derek just to get back at Peyton."
"Hey!" Brooke started, but realized she didn't have a comeback to that, so she just slumped back in her seat and sighed. "I'm such a slut."
"Not going to disagree with you there."
Brooke opened her mouth with a defensive look on her face, but Rachel stopped her. "Kidding. I'm just that you should…figure out how to get what you want."
"I don't know what I want. Haley's my friend, and you might not know what those are, but I happen to like friends. And I know how it feels to be hurt by someone you thought you could trust."
"But you do want Nathan."
"Yes."
"Then I'm going to help you get him back."
