Chapter 4

Ok. So.. th weekend is over and Monday has arrived. To be honest, I don't wanna go to school today. I've been feelings kind lazy since Sunday. But that's normal because I'm kinda always lazy. I just felt lazier. (Laugh) So... my mom... excuse me. Victoria decideed she wanted to take me school today. Talking about we need to "bond" more. Yeah right. We just arrived at school. I never bee so happy to be at school. You think I want to be in the car with her for 20 minutes? Hell no.

"Bye."

"Have a nice day at school." said Vcitoria

"It's school."

"Tell your friends I said Hi." said Victoria

"Ok?"

"Hi Mrs. Davis." saud Peyton

"Well... i'll see you when you get home. Toodles." said Victoria then she drives away

"Bitch." said Peyton

"Tell me about it."

"Have you spoke to Lucas?" asked Peyton

"Yeah. We made an understanding."

"Cool." said Peyton

So... I'm at home doing some research on a project. The project is kinda cool. The bad thing is I kinda got paried up with... Nathan. Out of all people. I would've been fine with anyone else. But no... Im gonna end up being the one doing this project.

"I'm here." said Nathan

"Ok. Here's the deal. I'll do the work and put your name on it. Deal?"

"No. This project is cool." said Nathan

Ok... so the project is to build something that can float and hold the weight of 3 can ... I might need help but NOT from Nathan. He's a complete slcker. Nothing like Peyton who gets the job done as soon as given. I most likely wait to the last minute. But something this serious? I need to start now. I don't need to be distracted by the slackiest boy on Earth. No thank you.

"Ok. What do we start with?" asked Nathan

"We need to test out material. Whichever is the heaviest is what we'll use."

"What are the material?" asked Nathan

"Metal and Wood."

"It's wood." said Nathan

"They're both heavy. How can you know for sure?"

"Well, Wood is easier to cut to make sure the sizes are right and easier to nail, easier to paint over and if you are gonna float it outside, you need sommething sun proof. Metal with most likely melt." said Nathan

"I never thought about that."

Ok. Maybe I underestimated Nathan. But you still have to admit. He is a serious goof ball.

It's a 3 hours later and we're still working on the project. The only thing we did was cut wood and measure. I've never worked so hard in my life.

"How's the project coming along?" asked Victoria

"It's coming."

"Maybe you should take a break." said Victoria

"A break? We need to do as much as we can."

"Brooke. You've been working all day." said Victoria, "I prepared snacks."

"Maybe Brooke's right. This project is really hard." said Nathan

"Nathan. Go home. You can work on it tomorrow." said Victoria

"Brooke?" asked Nathan

"He cannot go home. We have a project to do." said Brooke

"Brooke, don't be such a pain. Nathan, go home." said Victoria

"Ok. Bye Brooke." said Nathan then leaves

"What do you think you're doing?"

"What do you mean?" asked Victoria

"We have a project to do. You cant just force him to leave."

"You need to relax. You're tired." said Victoria

"Stop acting like you know me. You don't know me." said Brooke

"But I do. Have a nice night." said Victoria then leaves the room

Who does she think she is? She's not a mother. I don't know who she's trying to convince because she's not convincing me. AT ALL!

So. Lucas told me to meet him at the Rivercourt. He didn't tell me why. Should I be scared?

"Hey." said Lucas

"Hey. Is there a problem?"

"Yeah, kinda. My grandma died. I have to go back home." said Lucas

"Forever?"

"No. My mom said we'll stay for about a 2-3 weeks." said Lucas

"You don't seem like you wanna go."

"I don't. I mean, I'll go to the funeral but stay in a dead woman;s house for 2-3 weeks?" said Lucas

"Well... I wish you luck. I'll miss you, though." said Brooke

"I'll miss you too. We can video chat." said Lucas

"Why video chat?"

"I whether talk and see your face then talk and only hear your voice or read it." said Lucas

"That's sweet... I think. I didnt really get it."

"I wanna look at your beautiul face as I talk to you so it feels like im standing infront of you so that we don't feel so apart." said Lucas

"Ok. I got it. When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow." said Lucas

"That soon? Wow."

"I know. I'm sorry." said Lucas

"I'll be fine. Just... come back soon."

"I'll try." said Lucas then he kisses me gently

So. I decided to go to Lucas's house to help him pack.

"Thanks for helping me pack." said Lucas

"No problem." said Brooke

"We're about to go so... make it quick." said Haley

"Ok." said Lucas

"I'm gonna miss you."

"Same here but i'll be back." said Lucas

"It's gonna feel like forever."

"I know. But it wont be. I'll come back for you, Brooke Davis. I'll always come back for you." said Lucas then kisses me

"Ok. That's enough.. come on." said Haley

"Bye."

"Bye." said Lucas

It's been 2 very long days since Lucas left. We've been talking 3 times each day. Today Peyton is taking me to a thinks I should get out of the house more. WHATEVES! So.. she's coming oover to make sure I dress right. Like I said before... WHATEVES!

"Brooke, if you're in the bed I'm gonna sit on you're face." said Peyton

"Oh hush."

"What are you wearing?" asked Peyton

"This."

I'm wearing a dark blue short with ruffles on it. Black jeans and white bacelets with white pumps. Peyton was wearing a green backless short that ties around the neck with dark blue jeans and black flats.
