Don't Be Late
"Lucas, let's go! I refuse to be late on the first day of school." Haley shouted. Finally, Lucas came stumbling down, clearly not as excited about the first day of junior year as Haley was. "Lucas Eugene Scott, what took you so long?"
"Let's just go."
The first few periods had gone well. Haley was not the most popular kid in school. She was a smart tutor and the best-friend of Lucas Scott. Lucas was a bit of a loner. He liked to read, but he loved to play ball at the rivercourt.
It was lunch. Lucas and Haley met up and started talking about their classes.
"Excuse me." Haley looked up at none other than the beautiful, poised Brooke Davis. Behind her was Peyton Sawyer. Lucas kept his head down.
"Do you want something?" Haley asked.
"You're sitting at our table." Brooke replied.
"Brooke, it's okay, we'll just sit over there, Peyton reasoned.
"Whatever, Hales, lets go sit somewhere else." Lucas and Haley got up and left.
After lunch, Haley had a tutoring session. She looked at her sheet and her jaw dropped. "Nathan Scott?" she said aloud. Nathan was Lucas' half-brother and a complete ass. This must be a mistake! She talked to the coordinator to see if she could find another tutor for him but was simply told "no."
'Better get this over with' she thought.
After ten minutes, Nathan came walking him with a smile on his face. "See you later, Tim" he shouted. He came up to Haley. "So I guess you're my tutor."
"You're late."
"And you're in a good mood." He said light-heartedly and sarcastically. "I'm Nathan Scott."
"And you're also a jackass. Now let's get started." Nathan was surprised by her bluntness. Normally, girls would be swooning over him. But not this one. For Haley, the session went by slowly and painfully, with him making casual sarcastic comments.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow after school."
"Cant, I have basketball practice"
"Well then I guess we'll have to do it during lunch."
"What?! No Way!" but Haley had already begun walking away.
"Oh, and Nathan, don't be late." And with that she left the tutoring center.
