"hey luke!" yells haley from across the hallway
"hey hales, hows ur weekend?" he asks
"oh it was. interesting. yours?" she says
"it was okay.. kinda boring at times" he said
"but. what was weird. is that when peyton and I were watching a movie yesterday. i thought i heard crying from outside. so i went to see if anyone was there. but no one was there. so i looked out to the road. and there was a girl. shorts a famaliar jacket and soft brown curls." he said wondering if hales knew anything about it.
"ohhh. reallly??" she says in a high pitched voice.
"hales???? do you know anything about it?" he suspects
"no! i know nothing" she says trying to cover it up
"HALEY?" he says
bell rings "oh look lucas i have english and you have.. math. to bad. bye!" she says running away
he just stands in the hallway annoyed. then runs to math.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In english haley sits next to brooke passes her a note saying
'BROOKE YOU HAVE TO TELL LUCAS or ELSE I WIILLLL'
brooke writes back
'OK HALEY BUT HOW?'
'WALK UP TO HIM AND BY LIKE "LUKE CAN I TALK TO YOU AFTER SCHOOL?" AND I'LL DISTRACT PEYTON'
'YEA I FIGURED! BUT HOW DO I SAY IT?'
'OK. SAY "LUKE BEFORE I LET YOU AND PEYTON BE. I STILL LOVED YOU. AND NOW AFTER 3 MONTHS I STILL FEEL THAT WAY. IF YOU DON'T I'M COOL WITH IT. I KNOW YOUR WITH PEYTON. BUT I JUST HAD TO SAY IT." THEN WALK AWAY UNLESS HE SAYS SOMETHING'
'OK THANKS HALEY'
end of note
The whole day went in a blur for brooke and lucas. all brooke could think about was telling lucas and all lucas could think about was the girl.

BELL RINGS
the time as come brooke. its okay. it's so easy. just walk up to him and ask to meet him by the gym in 5 minutes. not worry he will say yes. its okay.
"hey luke. umm can you please meet me outside the gym in 5 minutes i wanna tell you something." she says relieved that the first part is over.

OUTSIDE THE GYM
"hey brooke. what did you want to talk about?" luke asks
"okay. luke this is going to be a bit sudden and whoa." she says
"okkayy?"
"well. luke when i let you and peyton be. i still loved you. but you loved her."
"brooke?"
"no luke listen to me. you loved her. so i let you guys be. but now. have 3 months of you and me being apart. i still... feel the same way as before. i totally understand you dont love me. but i just had to let it out." she says then she turns and walks into the gym to start cheerleading practice.
"brooke!" he yells
how can she just spring this on me? after 3 months? oh god. do i still love her? no. i don't i love peyton. my girlfriend. ooohh but don't i wish it was brooke. NO STOP LUCAS your getting out of hand. you love PEYTON. he says to him self.
"BROOKE!" yells haley from across the court
brooke runs over to her becuase she seemed to be urging to tell her something.
"did you do it? did you tell him?" asks haley
"haley you made me run across the court to ask me this? well yes i told him. and it was scary but thank god its over." she says
"what did he say!??" haley says tugging at brookes arm
"haley he didn't say anything." she says quitely
"well did u give him anytime?" asks haley becuase she knew lucas loved brooke.
"no. but thats not the point." she says trynig to avoid the point.
"well brooke you see thats why he didn't say anything!" she says.
"okay well. cheerleading practice as begun." she says
The whole time brooke was cheerleading all she could think about was what would lucas have said?
As lucas was walking home he only thought about which girl he truely loved the pros and cons about both of them. trying to figure out who was better.
How could he choose?
