One day Haley had to tutor her. „Hey Brooke." Brooke sat down besides her. „God Haley. So good to see you and just talk. Have you seen the new boy Julian. He is so..." Haley interrupted her.

„Brooke we are here to learn." „Just a minute, he..." „Brooke stop it. You already came late." Haley was surprised when Brooke rolled her eyes and focused on the paper in front of her. Without any

help she filled out everything and then kept on talking „He is so cute. And guess what. He is not in he basketball team but a mathlete. That is sooo..." Haley widened her eyes „Brooke!" „God Haley.

Please just let me talk a bit to you. It´s been three weeks since no party and friends. I am so bored."

„Brooke!", Haley said again. „What?". „You have zero errors.", Haley answered shocked and smiled. „Even...even the really really hard task you got right. It took me a day to figure out what the

teacher meant.", Haley said shocked. Brooke just shrugged her shoulder „Yeah well, I don´t have anything to do at home instead of reading those awful boring books. I even read this one about

Einstein.", she showed a thick book to Haley. Haley was shocked even more. „I am so proud of you.", Haley said and hugged Brooke. „Thanks but did you even listen to me? Focus Haley. This

Julian...", Brooke continued talking about Julian while Haley still looked shocked at the paper.

The next hour Brooke and the others had a test „Good luck Miss Davis.", said the teacher to her

knowing her ultimatum. „Well, luck has nothing to do with it.", Brooke said and filled everything as fast as possible. She had always been the first one to finish everything. She did not want to

change it because those were the minutes she could get out of class and do want she wanted to do. For instance into the internet or reading a magazine she was not allowed to read at home.

„Here.", Brooke gave the test to the astonished teacher. „Finished?", he asked. „Well, not everything. I finished it so that it should be a C.", she said honestly. „Why didn´t you finish the rest?", the

teacher whispered. Brooke just shrug her shoulders. „Don´t know. I only need a C.", she smiled and wanted to go out of the class but the teacher gave her the test again and said „Sit down and

finish it." Brooke rolled her eyes and worked very fast again so that she was still the first one. „Can I go out now please?", she asked smiling and the teacher nodded.

„So how was school you two?", Karen asked them curiously especially adressing the question to Brooke. „It was okay. But I think I did not good in that test.", Lucas answered honestly. „I don´t

know. The test was okay I guess. The teacher made me finish it all. Gosh Karen. It looks like I am the school project to all teachers and you.", Brooke laughed. „I go out playing basketball a bit.",

Lucas then said „Have fun broody", Brooke said after him. „So I go into my room. Learning, reading, learning, reading. The boring life of Brooke Davis.", she exaggerated.

Brooke looked at the clock and jumped up. How could she oversleep? She had never overslept without partying before. So she ran under the shower and got dressed as fast as possible and drove to

school. „I am sorry", she said when she entered class but was surprised when the others looked with wide mouthes at her „What happened?", she asked Lucas. Lucas smiled proudly at her and said

„Look at your table.". Brooke looked down and saw the grades of her last ten tests. „Please no D or F, please", she whispered and only scanned it for that. „Yeah, no D or F.", she showed the paper

to Haley and Haley just nodded in shock. Brooke took the list back in her bag. „So, the first ten tests are through. I am proud to announce that this time we have to bests in class." Brooke hated

that the teacher always wanted to remind the other who the best was. But she always was proud of Haley and while she chatted with Peyton about Julian and girlsstuff she did not hear her name.

„Brooke Davis.", Brooke turned around and said „Sorry." She shut up but the teacher said „Would you please come.", Haley was standing in front of the class and clapped her hands. „Okay." Brooke

did not know what happened „Congatulations. Brooke Davis." Brooke just smiled not knowing for what and said „Thanks."

The others went with Brooke to the cafeteria afterwards „I cannot believe that your the best in class. B. Davis. What happened to you?", Peyton took her hand on her forehead. „I am not. He just

said congratulations because I don´t have a D or F like normally.", Brooke said back. „You don´t get it right?", Nathan laughed hardly and took Brooke´s bag and took the paper with her grade.

„God Brooke. You only have one B and that´s in calculus." Brooke took it back from him „No way.", she said and looked at the paper but ran into Julian so that it fell to the floor. Julian took it and

looked at her grades. „Here Miss Brainie.", he smiled. Brooke blushed immediately and did not say a word instead she walked to her friends again „Ok. That was so embarassing. He called me Brainie.

How disgusting is that. It´s even worse than tutor girl.". The others laughed hard and sat down.

„Brooke.", Brooke looked up at Karen who smiled wildly. „Can I please see it?". Brooke did not know what Karen meant. „What?", she asked honestly. „C´mon. Your grades." So Brooke took it out

of her bag „But don´t freak out please. I just had no paper to draw so I...", Karen laughed hard when she saw clothes drawn besides her grades. „I am so proud of you Brooke.", she kissed Brooke

on her forehead. „Thanks." „Can I frame it?", Karen asked. „Frame it?", sometimes she did not understand how the brains of others worked. „Yes.", Karen answered. „Guess yes." „Great.", Karen

hung it on the wall in the kitchen. „Karen you do realize that this are only grades, right?", Brooke smiled while getting something out of the fridge. Karen hugged Brooke from behind and stood with

her in front of it „I think it´s another person in this room who does not realize the importance of this grades." „Well if you mean me that is wrong. I know exactly that I cannot get any D´s or F´s.

And I surely do realize the importance of getting back to the cheerleaders square" Brooke answered and then said „Okay, I continue reading this boring math book." Karen laughed „You do enjoy it a

bit right?". Brooke rolled her eyes „Brooke Davis will never enjoy a book. But there is this one mathlete who..." Karen pushed her into her room „Well, I don´t care why you do it as long as you do

it."
