Brooke and Nathan spent the weekend at Brooke's apartment talking about the baby. Peyton and Rachel were catching up and showing Julian around. Haley and Lucas were trying to figure out what they were going to do on Monday.
Monday Morning
Haley (sad and annoyed): I don't want to go today!
Lucas: Well if you plan on making things right with Nathan you are going to have to start by apologizing to Brooke.
Haley: I know, it's just hard you know.
Lucas: Tell me about it, I think I'm in love with a girl who is carrying my brother's baby. I also love her best friend.
Haley: Luke, it's time you get over Brooke.
Lucas: Maybe you should get over Nate. Maybe this pregnancy is a sign saying we don't need them we just want the idea of them.
Haley: Maybe you are right, but I still need to say something to Brooke.
Later at school
Rachel, Nathan, Brooke and Peyton were sitting under the tree when Haley and Lucas came up.
Nathan: I thought I told you to stay away from us.
Lucas: Look we just want to talk okay.
Rachel (angry): NO! It's not okay and Haley you are lucky I wasn't there the other day because it would have been more than a slap.
Haley: Brooke can we talk please?
Brooke: Sure.
Rachel: WHAT! See she is too nice first she forgives Peyton for sleeping with her boyfriend and now this.
Brooke: Rachel shut up, I never forgave Peyton… I just don't hate her anymore. Come on Haley.
They walk away but close enough to still see the group.
Haley: Look Brooke about what I said the other day, I was upset and I wasn't thinking straight. I'm sorry I think you will make a wonderful mother. You are kind-hearted, always willing to help others, and you will have the cutest baby in Tree Hill. Nathan means the world to me and I regret leaving everyday because I know I hurt him but it was my dream my passion I couldn't turn it down. The reason I came back is because I realized what I had left at home. It's just I came back to late.
Brooke: I forgive you. Those Scott boys sure can make a girl crazy. Nathan does still love you it's just he is scared because besides me you are the only girl he has ever opened up to and then you just leave. He is confused and hurt but I know deep down inside he wants to be with you. Just give it time.
Haley: Thanks Brooke and again I am so sorry.
They both walk back to the group of friends.
Brooke: Haley, the girls and I are going shopping later. Would you like to come?
Haley: Sure. Thanks.
In Class
Teacher: okay guys today I will give you a project and you will have to work in pairs.
Bevin: Can we pick our partner?
Teacher: nope I have already picked them out. When you hear your name as well as your partners name please stand next to each other. Okay! Um... Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott
Brooke: Can I please have another partner? I'm not comfortable working with him.
Teacher: Well Miss. Davis if you are not comfortable with getting a failing grade I suggest you move over to Mr. Scott, Nathan Scott and Haley James. She continued to call names.
Nathan was pissed that he had to work with Haley and that Brooke was stuck working with Lucas.
At lunch
Nathan: I cannot believe I'm stuck working with her. I don't want to work with her.
Brooke: In life you are going to have to do things you don't want to do. Plus if you fail this class Nate you won't be able to play basketball.
Nathan: I know, it's just hard with everything going on and she is the last person I want to see let alone talk to.
Brooke (serious): Look Nate, Haley is still in love with you okay. She told me this morning it's just singing is her passion. If you had an amazing opportunity to play basketball but you had to leave the ones you love what would you do?
Nathan: I guess… I guess I would have to go.
Brooke: Exactly. Nate just give her another chance okay.
Nathan: I don't think I can do that.
Brooke: Well at least try talking to her. Start off as friends and see where it goes.
Nathan: See B this is why you're my best friend. So what are you going to do about Lucas?
Brooke: I'm going to work on this project so I don't fail and maybe we can be friends again.
