~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had no idea that this movie was being filmed in Luke's house, but I was okay with it. I entered Luke's old room to see Brooke already inside.

"Hey, how's that first day going?" I stated, getting her to turn around.

"Oh, just great! I'm watching someone paint my adolescence a fugly shade of brown!"

I laughed, "Yeah, there's definitely plenty of memories to go around."

She gave me a smirk, "Well, this WAS Lucas' bedroom in high school."

I scoffed and just shook my head. "Ouch!" I muttered.

We shared a laugh together and made our way into the hallway and she was the first to speak again.

"Speaking of high school!" She smiled, "Haley and Quinn have that dance tonight, and in case you go just know it would be okay."

"A dance, huh? I guess we'll see." I winked.

I sat in the living room, just thinking about the times Luke and I had been together. Most of the cast and crew had left by now, so, I was more than likely the last one here.

"Nervous for the big day?" A voice spoke. Alex.

"I think it's safe to say yes!" I laughed, "I have never, in my life, thought that I would be an actor... and now that it's happening I am a bit excited, nervous, and basically every emotion!"

"Well, why not take the night off? Maybe go to that dance... even get a dance with Brooke." She teased, giving her signature smile.

"Even if I wanted to go, I don't have anything from the 80's!"

"Don't worry about that!" She scoffed, "I saved a leather jacket from set in the back."

I let out a deep breath as she dragged me into the changing rooms and threw me the clothes.

"Haley James Scott, are you at the bar!?" I teased as I joined my sister at the bar stool.

"Haha, so funny!" She mocked, "I am old enough."

"I know." I smirked, leaning in to whisper, "Happy birthday, Hales."

Her head shot up to make eye contact with me and then she wrapped her arms around me into a hug before she ran off to do her thing. That's when I finally spotted her. Brooke looked absolutely gorgeous, as always, and she took my breath away just like before. It was then that I noticed that Alexander stood beside her.

"Well, go talk to her!" Alex said, giving me a nudge on the arm.

"She's already here... with a date, by the way!" I scoffed, taking a drink from the bar.

I stood in the old and smelly gym, just thinking about everything that ever happened back in high school... more specifically the evolution of Brooke and I. Our first kiss was in the gym, and I was in the gym the night I made a dash to New York just to see her. I heard heals knocking on the courts hardwood floor. I turned to see the one and only Brooke Davis... wishing she was still Brooke James.

"Funny, I always had a thing for the athletes." She smirked.

I swallowed hard and let out a laugh, "Where's your date?"

"He wasn't my date!" She said, rolling her eyes, "I didn't think you were coming... why did you?"

"Well," I sighed, "I'm about to have a total change in life and I was feeling nervous, so I figure why not take a train ride back to when things were a little less complicated." I smirked.
