„Brooke. C´mon wake up.", Lucas was shooking Brooke. He actually waited a moment before he woke her up and just sat there looking at her. She somehow looked so cute with some stuffed animals and books around her. Like usual she was somewhere cuddled under the blanket and lying crosswise on the bed. „C´mon cheery.", he shook her a bit heavier and finally she moaned. He remembered the time when she had come home late drunk and exhausted and it definitely had not been easy waking her up the next morning. Especially when she was not a morning person. „You won´t get back to your squad if you oversleep class." Brooke immediately shot up. „What? What time is it?", she jumped up and wanted to run to the bathroom. Unfortunately Lucas´ legs were in her way and she fell flat on the floor „Ouch." She moaned on the floor and trying to wake fully up. She had read the whole night and now she got the consequences of it. Lucas could not surpress his laugh. It was then both of them realized what she was wearing. She had been sleeping in her underpant and a shirt. It was not like he had never seen her before like that. In fact he had seen her in less clothes than this. To be exact with no clothes. But somehow at the moment it was weird. Both of them blushed a little and when he helped her standing up again she ran into the bathroom „I hurry up. Wait for me!". Lucas nodded and went out of her room.
„Morning mom.", he hugged Karen and sat down on the floor. Karen looked at her big son. Sometimes she missed him as a little kid. On the other side she liked having a grown up kid. „Morning honey.", she smiled back and then asked „Brooke´s up?". Karen got really used to the idea of Brooke living longer with them. She liked the girl very much and somehow her motherly feelings towards her grew every day. „Yeah. Just woke her up. Guess she is still showering."
„No she is not.", Brooke jumped happily into the room and sat besides Lucas.
„No wonder Haley calls you Tigger all the time. You´re like Tigger in Winnie the Pooh". Brooke kicked him lightly. „Well, your name is justified as well. Brooooody.", she mocked him. „Stop talking and begin eating Brooke.", Karen laughed. „Lucas. Could you help me today at the store.", Lucas looked disappointed at her mom. „Mom. I have plans today. Couldn´t you ask me at least a day before yesterday." „Well I am sorry honey. But...", she was then interrupted by Brooke „I´ll help you, pleaaaase.", she whined and looked up at Karen who looked in thoughts at her. „I don´t know. You miss are supposed to learn." Brooke looked sadly at her „But Karen I cannot learn all the time. I will do my homework and then I´ll help you. Please. Please. Please." Karen had to laugh. Some time ago Brooke would never have asked her to help. „Okay.", she then said but raised her finger „but if you don´t do your homework you´ll get into a lot of troubles." Brooke rolled her eyes „Don´t worry. Don´t worry. I know exactly what will happen when I won´t do my homework or get a D or a F or bla bla bla." Lucas laughed hard and Karen went over to her and kissed her on the head. „Well then look at the time.", she whispered which ended in Brooke widing her eyes and taking Lucas´arm „I cannot be late again. Run." Both of them ran out of the house as fast as possible. They entered the school restless. „Okay, see you later Broody.", Brooke shouted while running into her class.
„Good morning Brooke Davis.", the teacher said while she entered the classroom. „Mr. Principal wants to see you right now." Brooke looked shocked at the clock. Was she that late? No! But what did the principal want? She looked at Peyton who shrugged her shouled revealing that she herself had no clue. „Okay.", Brooke went out of the room again and to the office. Her heart was racing. Did she do anything wrong? She could not think of anything but knew that sometimes she ran into punishment without intending doing so. She had to breath deep until she was prepared to knock. Normally she was not afraid of entering his office but she remembered the last time and knew that getting back at the squad wasn´t anything easy.
„Hello Miss Davis.", the prinicipal said „Please sit down. We have to wait one minute for Mr. Baker." Brooke looked confused at him and sat down „Who is Mr...", she did not finish her sentence when Julian entered the room and sat down besides her. Her head was rushing and she could feel how her face blushed. Julian gave her a short nod and smiled. „Hello Brainie.", he whispered and then looked back at the prinicipal. „Good morning Mr. Baker. So now that we are all here we can begin." Brooke had no clue what happened and looked stunned at the prinicpal. „Mrs. Davis. I am very proud of you how your grades went up." Brooke blushed even more. This was the last situation she wanted to be in at the moment. „If you stay that great I even consider letting you going back at the squad before the holidays." „That would be gre..", she wanted to say but the prinicpal interrupted her again. „But since I don´t think that it´s a good idea to rush into it you have to do something else. Another activity beyond school. You know that we have a lot other than cheerleading." Brooke Just looked at him and did not say a word until she realized that this was not a rhetorical question. „Umm...yeah. I mean..." Julian and the principal shared a laugh which made Brooke hate the situation even more. She realized that her hands were sweating and she could not sit still. „So. I have looked at your grades lately. And I have to say that I am impressed how you improved." Brooke´s head was now read like a tomato. This was a situation she would never have imagined being in. Even not in her worst nightmare. Some person would feel flattered but she just felt awkward. „So I have decided to choose an activity for you." Brooke widened her eyes. „But isn´t it voluntary?", Brooke asked feeling very small because she knew that she would have no choice when it came to loosing being the head cheerleader. „Yes Miss Davis. It is. And you can change it if you really hate it. But at the moment I want you to take that activity. Mr. Baker will be so nice to show you exactly what they do." Brooke looked with her mouth opened at Julian. „So, I´ll see you two in two weeks and you´ll let me know whether I took the right choice for you Miss Davis, okay?". Julian nodded happily and shook his hand. Brooke on the other hand was still sitting on the stool in shock and not really realizing what just had happend „You may leave now Miss Davis.", the principal said smiling friendly at the girl.
Outside Julian was waiting for her „Okay Brooke. We start tomorrow at four. Take a look at this.", he gave her some papers „well, then we see us soon.", he smiled shyly at her and left a stunned Brooke in the hallway. Brooke looked after him for a while. Did this really just happened? She jumped up when the bureau opened again and the principal looked at her „Miss Davis, you do realize that you still have class?", he pushed her to her class and opened the door for her „You got her back.", he laughed at her teacher who laughed back when he looked at the stunned face of Brooke.
„So?", Peyton, Haley and Brooke were sitting at a table in the cafeteria. „What happened?". „I think I just dreamt. Guess who was with me in the office.", Brooke talked while eating. „Who?", Haley asked curiously. Brooke looked around wanting noone to hear it except of her two friends „Julian Baker." Peyton tried to think hard but then looked confused at her friend „Who is that?" Lately she did not have the time to talk much to Brooke because she was still grounded and at school Brooke seemed to hide from someone all the time. Maybe this was the reason? Haley on the other side rolled her eyes „Brooke´s loooover.", she laughed hard as Brooke choke. „He is not. He is just...just..." she tried to think of a word but could not find the right word. „Ah. You mean the one who called you Brainie?", Peyton looked even more confused at Brooke. Julian was by far not the person a Brooke Davis would fall for. „Don´t remind me of that P. Sawyer.", Brooke whispered. „So why was he with you in the office?", Haley looked at the other table were Julian was sitting with his friends. „It´s horrible. I have to do another activity instead of cheerleading and he...he...will. Oh nooooo.", Brooke widened her eyes in shock when suddendly realizing what the principal exactly had meant by that. „What? What is it?", Brooke had stopped eating and looked panicly at Peyton and Haley. „He is supposed to show me everything and...and tomorrow we´ll start." Peyton and Haley laughed hard and actually threw some food accidently on the floor. „Isn´t he...a..a... mathlete?", Peyton tried to talk through laughing. Brooke covered her face with her hands. „Yessssss."
„Well Brooke Davis. Maybe you won´t be the head cheerleader any more but the head mathlete." Brooke widened her eyes „I cannot do that. I...I... mean there is no way I...I can be a mathlete. I am no nerd. I...I am popular. I...well that is just not me." Peyton took her hands and tried to look seriously at her „I am so proud of you Miss Prom Queen...I mean Miss mathlete."
„Stop it.", Brooke slapped her softly „I...am not even good in math"
„Try getting used to it Brooke. You are good in math. You had the best grade the last time.", Haley answered a bit jealous. „I know. But only because I was forced to learn" Brooke defended herself. „ Yeah and all the others learned too but did not get an A plus." Brooke took her hand on Haley´s mouth „Don´t say it so loud." She looked around and hoped that noone had heard Haley. Suddenly someone tapped on Brooke´s shoulder. It was a girl in her age with big glasses and a corduroys. Brooke looked confused up at her. „Hey Brooke. I am happy that you´ll join us.", she smiled. Brooke nodded in silence and tried to fake a smile but when the girl was gone and she looked back at her friends who laughed lauged hard and Brooke began to whine „Gosh. It cannot get worse." Little did she know that there were lots of opportunities of getting worse.
Will there be anything worse than joining the mathletes for Brooke?
Will Lucas approve of Brooke´s calf love for Julian?
Will Brooke ever get back to the squad?
Keep in touch to get the answers :)
