I HATE YOU
:: xxiii. | stolen test answers

It was test week for some of the students at Tree Hill. Brooke isn't good at math and well, she needed help. Her and Rachel were talking about it at Brooke's locker and as they chatted, Rachel cooped up an idea.

"Sounds like you need a bit of tutoring." Rachel suggested.

"You're right. I can talk to Haley." Brooke began to walk away from Rachel but the readhead grabbed Brooke's arm and pulled her back.

"How about you get the key from her and I'll get the test answers."

The burnette turned to her, "I don't know, Rachel."

"Fine. You're right." Rachel closed Brooke's locker, "But when you don't pass, an i told so will be waiting for you."

Rachel began to head to her class with Brooke following behind. They both walked into the classroom just as the bell rang. Rachel sat in the back and Brooke sat somewhere in the middle. The class had the whole period to do their science test. They even get five points for their name and date, a plus right?

Brooke gulped as the paper landed on her desk. She knew she wasn't good at science but she wasn't that bad since math was her actual enemy.

Rachel just smiled as the paper hit her desk. Just like math, science was another one of her best subjects. She wrote her name and date at the top, then began with question one. There thirty questions and multiple choice, she thought it was going to be easy. Too easy — at least for her.

Ashely was invited to a little get together with some friends that she's made there so far. It was just a dinner at some classy restaurant. However, she had no idea nicole was coming or that she was friends with some of her new found friends.

The blonde walked into the restaurant and was immediately waved down from a table that was in the middle. She smiled as she made her way over there and once she reached, that's when she saw Nicole sitting down across from her. She avoided all eye contact as she sat down way away from her.

The waiter soon came to the their table and got all their drink orders, Ashely ordered a sweet tea as did Nicole. Then everyone's food was ordered and once again, Nicole ordered the same exact thing as Ashely.

Everyone began eating and continued talking as the waiter and another refilled some of their glasses. Aside from Nicole, Ashely was enjoying herself. She was glad she was making new friends and getting to slowly call England her home away from home. She was happy but that didn't mean she missed her family and friends any less. From her constant thinking about them lately, Ashely decided it was about time to go see them.

After dinner, everyone split the check — paid for their own meal. Ashely and others began to head out the restaurant, but she stayed close to another friend of her's. His name is Jonathan.

She whispered to him as they continued to walk, "Could you help me get some things out my room?"

"Leaving England already?" He lightly nudged her.

Ashely lightly chuckled, "I just miss home, you know?"

"I get it." He nodded, "But you are leaving two and a half months before winter break."

Ashely soon realized that, "Yeah, I'll figure that out. Just be the look out. I don't want to run into Nicole."

Once the two finally got to her dorm, she went on in while Jonathan stood outside. She went to her room and began to throw things into a suitcase. One suitcase for her clothes and another for her other things. She had bought a ticket the day before, everything was already planned.

It was after school and Rachel was back at the house in the bathroom. She was giving herself a facial when Brooke stormed right in.

"You're right."

"I'm right about a lot of things, so you'll have to be more specific." Rachel was applying the last of her face mask on.

"Math test." Brooke sat on the bathroom sink counter, "I need to pass."

Rachel slowly nodded understandingly, "Sounds like you want to get those test answers."

"Yeah, so how do we do that?"

"It's called breaking and entering, Davis. You up for breaking into the school tonight?" Rachel turned to Brooke.

So when it got dark and a tad late out, Brooke and Rachel left the house. They took Rachel's truck and drove to the school, parking a little bit away just in case they were caught. They were wearing cat-woman like outfits, all black.

It was a quick job. Rachel used two bobby-pins to break in the door and then once they were in, the two made their way to the tutor room. Brooke closed the door behind them before helping Rachel find the right math test.

That alone took a minute or two but once they got it, they quietly made their way out the room and began to head out the building.

"I honestly thought we were going to need the key." Brooke whispered to Rachel as they turned the corner.

Rachel whispered back, "Bobby-pins can practically open anything."

The two were almost out, about to get their not caught free night. That was until they ran into principal Turner.

"Ladies. Are you here because you're joining the clean teen meeting?" He looked between the two.

Rachel and Brooke both shared glances before quickly agreeing in unison, "Yes."

So that's where they headed, to keep up with appearances and well them not getting caught. Turner watched as the two walked into the room with the light on that the meeting was being held in. Once that door shut closed behind them, he then began his way back to his office while the girls suffered in a clean teen meeting.
