Chapter 7
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this Brooke!"
Oh please.
She's overreacting.
"Shut up Haley! Or they're going to hear us!"
We are stealthily hiding behind a bush near the outdoor restaurant that Dean and the ho-bag are having their so-called "date" at.
We're wearing top-notch ninja gear.
I don't see what the big deal is.
"If you don't see what the big deal is with spying, then there's something seriously wrong with you," said my currently annoying friend. "….and stop thinking that I'm annoying."
"Stay out of my head Haley!"
"Stop spying on Dean and Rachel!"
"No, look! They're leaving! Dive dive dive!" I exclaim as I, well, dive.
Right on top of my bestie.
"OW!" she whisper-yells.
Haley is totally not smooth.
"Suck it up Hales!" I said, widening my eyes a bit for emphasis. "Oh quick! Act invisible, 'cause they're about to walk past our bush!"
…Hehe.
Our bush.
That's dirty.
Oh crap, they're about to invade our bush!
EGBO
"I'm having such a nice time," Rachel said as she hooked her arms with mine.
I'm not sure how nice a time she could be having.
I mean, all we did was eat tacos and have an awkward conversation about cheese.
"Uh yeah, it's been okay," I replied with a polite smile.
"Oh Deanie, admit it, I'm fun to be around."
Deanie?
I'm not a fan of where this is going.
"Heh, yeah well…" I really don't know what to say to this girl. I let my eyes wander and smile. "Hey look a bush."
She looked at me blankly. "What about it?"
Crap.
I just wanted to change the subject.
Who knew she'd question me?
EGBO
"Brooke! We're gonna get caught!" my scared friend said.
I honestly don't care if we get caught at this point.
It's pretty obvious the she-bitch has no idea how to talk to Dean.
It's hilarious.
Beeesides…
The awkwardness of catching us could only make Dean feel relief for having an out from the redhead and the awkwardness she exudes.
It's like I always say:
More awkwardness is the key to destroying other awkwardness.
Heh.
Awkwardness for the win!
EGBO
"Well, this is awkward," I said with a nervous laugh.
Rachel rolled her eyes.
…Yeah, I don't see us going anywhere as a couple.
"Well if you're done staring at that stupid bush, can we go to my house and make out?" she states bluntly with a smile that I could only assume is her sexy smile.
"No thanks," I answered quickly with a nice smile.
I really hope she doesn't take this as rejection.
Although it kind of is.
…Hold up.
Did I just hear the bush giggle?
…Naaah…
Oh shit.
What's wrong with Rachel's face?
"What. Did. You. Say?" said a very angry looking redhead.
"Uh…"
"NO ONE turns down a make out session with me!"
I opened my mouth to reply.
She cuts me off. "No! Don't even try to defend yourself! I want nothing to do with you. I'm telling everyone at school that you're definitely the loser you make yourself out to be!"
I raised an eyebrow.
This chick is insane.
Rachel gives me a look a look I can't describe. "I'm going to walk away now," she said giving her back to me.
Great!
Maybe I can get home on time to watch my show…
"I'm walking away!" she said as she took a few steps.
Do I still have chips in the cupboard?
I'm totally gonna tear into those if I do.
"Really?! You're not even gonna chase after me?" said the girl who is now much farther away from me.
"Uh…"
"UGH! Forget it!"
Now she has officially stormed off.
And now I think that laughing bush is laughing even harder.
What the hell?
EGBO
"Stop laughing!"
I can't help it!
THAT was pure gold.
Rachel looked like someone took her favorite shoes and burned them.
Heeey.
That's not a bad idea.
"Brooke!" Haley said, in a suddenly more panicked voice.
What?
"What?"
"Dean is about to stick his head into our bush."
Heh.
Our bush.
Wait what?!
I was totally joking earlier!
I don't want to get caught!
This will be really hard to explain!
What am I going to-
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Brooke Davis."
Busted.
