Chapter 5

"Hey girls. Glad you could make it." said Rachel

"When do we ever miss a party?" asked Peyton

"Well... I have to host. I'll talk to you guys later." said Rachel

"She's a peppy one, uh?"

"Ok. Can I please have your attention. Thank you all for coming to my 18th birthday party. It means alot. So... I hope you have fun and if you dont get me a present...

"It's the thought that counts?"

"No. You'll be kicked out. Enjoy yourselves." said Rachel

"Hey Brooke." said Mouth

"Do I know you?"

"No. I'm Lucas's friend. He's told me alot about you." said Mouth

"Well.. it's nice to meet you Lips."

"It's Mouth." said Mouth

"Oh, im sorry. Mouth."

"It's ok." said Mouth then walks off

So... i've been at Rachel's party for 2 hours already. If we don't sing "Happy Birthday" soon. I'm leaving.

"Ok everyone. Gather around. It's time to sing Happy Birthday to... ME!" said Rachel

"Oh My God. I didn't know we were gonna sing happy birthday to you even though it's your birthday." I said sarcastically then everyone begans to laugh

"Stop." said Peyton towards me

"Anyway... (Blows Out Candles) Where's my presents?" asked Rachel excitedly

"Oh no. I forgot her present in the car. Can you go get it?" asked Peyton

"Fine."

So... I walk out of the house to get the present. I notice Rachel looking at me from her window. I see her flip a switch and then... the sprinklers come one. I am soaked. Im gonna kill her! This is a Brooke Davis original! I storm into the house and everyone begans to laugh... AT ME!

"Oh no. What happened to you?" asked Rachel

"Like you don't know." said Brooke

"Is that for me?" asked Rachel looking at the present

"Yeah." then I throw in onto the floor and stomp on it

"Why did you do that?" asked Peyton

"She doesn't deserve it."

"What was it?" asked Nathan

"A tennis bracelet."

"WHAT?!" yells Rachel then storms away upset

"Really?" asked Peyton

Ok I lied. It wasnt a tennis bracelet. It was a designer dress made by the one and only... Brooke Davis! She missed out big time.

"So... it's Monday morning. I decided to talk to Lucas on video chat before I went to school.

"How was your day yesterday?" asked Lucas

"I um... went to a birthday party and stopmed on a girl's present and lied and told her it was a tennis bracelet."

"So... you had fun?" asked Lucas

"I guess you can say that. How was your day yesterday?"

"Me and Haley ditched the fam and went swimming." said Lucas

"Wow."

"Hey Brooke. Ready to go?" asked Peyton, "Oh, hey Lucas."

"Hey Peyton." said Lucas

"Ok. Well I have to go. I'll talk to you later."

"Ok. Bye." said Lucas then I close my labtop

So. As I approach the school. Guess what snobby bitch decided to walk up to me?

"Hey Brooke. I decided to forgive you." said Rachel

"Oh really? Thank you so much." I said sarcastically

"Lucky you, my mom bought me a tennis bracelet." said Rachel

"Lucky you, i don't care."

"Oh Brooke, you're so funny. Toodles." said Rachel then walks off

"Toodles." said Peyton mocking Rachel

So.. im sitting on my couch and sorting through the mail and I find something for Victoria. I know you shouldn't go threw people's mail but I couldn't resist. So I opened it and began to read it.

"Dear Parent/GardianYour child has been accepted to join the International Arts Academy. He/She will be performing his/her artistic abilities in a lot of facinating activities. In order for him/her to

join the academy, you must sign below and have your child also sign. This child my visit the school on September 3rd. Thank you for choosing North Carolina's International Arts Academy school.

Sincerely, " when I read that all the bad things about Victoria just slipped away. I can't believe she applied me for this school. International Art School. I'll become a fashion designer. I can't believe this, I have to call Peyton. But then I hear Victoria come home and I take the envelope and letter and run to my room. 5 more days and I can visit the school. This is amazing!

"Brooke I'm home." yells Victoria

"Hey."

"Hey. I don't expect you wanna help me with these groceries." said Victoria

"Whatever." then I grab some groceries

"Thank you." said Victoria

"You're welcome."

"You're being nice to me? What do you want?" asked Victoria

"Nothing."

"Ok? I'm going to take a nap." said Victoria

"Hope you nap well."

"Right." said Victoria

Ok. It wasn't easy but I was nice to Victoria. That's the least I could do since she did something SPECTACULAR for me.
