Nathan sighed, whilst looking across at his dad Dan Scott laughing with his half brother Lucas and his girlfriend Brooke. Just to think a few months ago they hated each over, and whats worse is my dad is having a basketball party which means in order to become the favorite son, i need to come up with a plan, i need a date. and i haven't got a clue what to do, the last conversation with my mum was all i could think about.

"Nathan all i am saying is maybe if you brought a date, it would make things easier, but with it being your dad make sure he knows of her" Deb said

"Mom how many times, i don't have a girlfriend, i'm better off being single" i sighed, i have told her this so many times i thought to myself

"Well you and Peyton were good together, why don't you try with her again? Deb asked, she hated seeing her son being alone with him living in his own flat

"Mum me and Peyton were terrible together and we ended like almost a year ago" his dad did always like her he thought "anyway nothings wrong with me being single, and i enjoy it more"

"Exactly" she shouted "I think its time you started to look for a girl and settle down Nathan, just think about it" she rubbed my back heading downstairs

I turned and nodded at her.

Nathan headed off to the rivercourt where he feels his best, when walking towards the hoop, he noticed a small brunette sitting on the seats.

"Oh sorry" she spoke up "I come here for quiet" she smiled, getting up to walk

"Don't i know you?" Nathan replied, he was sure he had seen her before

"Yeah, your Nathan Scott, i'm er your brothers best friend Haley, nice to know you know me" she lowered her head

This suddenly made me feel bad "My bad, i knew you looked familiar" he lowered his head, focused on playing his game

"So whats wrong with you?" she asked curious

"Its a long story trust me" Nathan replied

"Well i got time if you want to talk?" Haley asked, secretly she wanted him to say sure, she always thought he was good looking

"Sure, where to begin lets just say, you know what my dads like" i looked at her and she nodded, this made me smile "anyway he is having the annual basketball party and i need a girlfriend to turn up with"

"Yeah Luke told me about the party, i thought someone like you would be able to get anyone" she giggled

"Well these days its hard to find someone right that i can actually introduce to my family" he shrugged

"Yeah, well good luck Nathan" she smiled and started to walk away

Just then it hit me, could this work? i had to try, i ran up to her

"Haley wait up" she stopped and turned around

"What?" she asked looking slightly confused

"I have an idea" he said blushing

"And that is?" she asked

"Pretend your my girlfriend, just hear me out, i promise to stop torturing Luke, and you know he cant stay mad at you so after awhile you's will be fine" i stopped and looked up at her reaction she looked speechless

"Oh my god your being serious are'nt you?" she was so shocked

"Please you will be doing me a big favor, i will do anything" he begged

I didn't know what to say, i mean i know Luke hates him and that Nathan tortures him, but maybe this could be his ticket out? i looked at Nathan. "If we do this you leave him alone? and its only pretend?"

"I promise" his smile began to widen

"Fine then, meet me here tomorrow at 7am" and she started to walk away

Nathan was confused "What why?"

"So we can talk this through right" she replied

"Fine" he said smiling and with that she started walking away "and Haley" he shouted

she turned around "What?"

"Thankyou again, i mean it you wont regret it" he smiled

"Dont make me" she replied, what have i got myself into she thought

Nathan smiled walking away well that was easy he grinned

Let me know what you think?
