Brooke Davis was used to people talking about her, inspecting every aspect of her life like they were her parents or something and after awhile she just started to not care. She sighed and put her head against her locker the cold metal slightly lowering her temperature. She left a hand on her arm and she looked up at the other topic of conversation at Tree Hill High Peyton Sawyer.
"I know you're mad at me but I thought you might want a friend with you today." Brooke smiled and leaned into Peyton giving her a hug.
"Why can't they find something else to talk about?"
"I don't know they've been talking about me for weeks."
"Its so old!" She cried getting the attention of the gossipers around her. She looked up and saw Nathan talking with Hailey and she felt jealous and worried that Nathan would go back to her. Instead of walking towards them she and Peyton kept on their way to class, she didn't have energy to put up with Hailey. This week had been one thing right after the other and Brooke was feeling drained.
She and Peyton choose to sit in the back so Brooke could put her head down and sleep. She didn't get much of it last night because she and Nathan were talking most of the night. Groaning as the bell rang Brooke lifted up her head and saw Nathan walk in late as usual with a huge smile on his face. Peyton turned towards Brooke who wasn't smiling. Nathan threw his stuff down and sat down in front of Brooke.
"Hey Brooke." He turned around and looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, why don't you go ask Hailey." She snapped putting her head back down.
"What did I do?" Brooke's head stayed glued to the desk as she tried to hold back the tears that were trying to push their way out. She kicked the desk in frustration and needed some fresh air.
"Excuse me Ms. Butler but can I go to the bathroom?" The young blonde teacher nodded and Brooke shot up out of her seat and left the room breathing in the fresh air. She walked towards the bathroom but stopped when she heard Haley's voice. "…I'm sorry Mouth but I don't have feelings for you anymore, I guess I can't lie to you but I think Nathan wants to give us another shot." Brooke felt her eyes watering again and felt stupid for believing Nathan the jackass.
She slowly walked back to class forgetting all about having to go to the bathroom and caught Peyton's attention when she slumped down in her chair. Peyton looked at her watery eyes and when Brooke put her head down Peyton kicked Nathan's foot.
"What the hell Sawyer?" She threw a piece of paper at him and turned back towards the teacher. What the hell did you do to Brooke? He looked back at Brooke and when the teacher announced group work he turned his desk towards her.
"What did I do Brooke?"
"I think Nathan wants to give us another shot." Brooke answered her head still on the desk in her best Haley voice. Nathan and Peyton looked at each other and Peyton kicked him again.
"I didn't say that."
"Well then tell Haley that, I heard her talking to Mouth in the hallway. I'm not making this up." Nathan motioned for Peyton to give them privacy and she rolled her eyes moving over by Luke and Jake.
He put his hand on Brooke's, "After everything I told you last night do you really think I'd do that to you?" Brooke groaned and lifted her head on the desk looking him in the eye.
"I really don't know anymore."
"Come on Brooke don't shut me out. I wouldn't do that to you not after everything he put you through and she put me through. I know I have my jackass moments I mean come on people call me Nathan the Jackass but I'm being sincere here, I wanna get to know the real you." Brooke smiled a little and Nathan grinned at her. He lifted her chin a little and gave her a little kiss.
"Ya know that's gonna be all over school by lunch."
"Who cares?" He kissed her again while the bell rang out in class and kids ran off to tell their friends about what was going on between Nathan Scott and Brooke Davis. She just smiled and Nathan grabbed her hand on their way out of the room smiling at each other. The gossip mill was running by lunch; Brooke had overheard that she and Nathan were having sex during P.E. which made her laugh. Nathan sat across the table from her while everyone else sat around them. Brooke composed herself and looked up from her pudding.
"Hey Nate did you know that we had sex during P.E.?"
"Really how was it?" He asked opening his bag of Doritos.
"I hope it was good." She said watching the people at the table down from them watching intently. Nathan just smiled at Brooke and she squeezed his thigh under the table. The bell rang and Nathan stood up giving Brooke a hug before they split in opposite directions.
"I'll see you after school." She nodded and turned to join Bevon on the way to class. 'He's not that bad.' She thought as she sat in class.
