Chapter 1
Nathan was getting ready for his first lecture when his brother walked in.
"Hey Nate are you ready" Lucas asked knowing it was tough on your first day.
"Yeah I guess" Nathan said nervously.
"Nate it's not gonna be that bad, we get it quite easy coz we're in the basketball team" Lucas tried to reassure his brother.
"Yeah but Luke you're a straight A student I struggle to get a C how I even got in here is a surprise to me" Nathan said.
"I guess it's coz you're the best point guard in the county" Lucas said.
"I guess but I think I'm gonna find myself a tutor" Nathan said.
"Nathan my girlfriend's best friend used to be tutor I can ask her to tutor you if you like" Lucas suggested.
"Thanks man I better be off I don't want to be late my first day" Nathan said.
"Cool do you wanna meet me and Brooke for lunch" Lucas asked.
"Cool thanks Luke" Nathan said.
On his way to class he bumped into this girl he never saw anyone more beautiful in his life.
"Thanks" the girl said as he helped her pick up her books.
Nathan couldn't talk he'd never been shy around a girl before, he didn't know what came over him.
"Hi I'm Haley" Haley said introducing herself to the best looking man she'd ever seen.
"Huh I'm, I'm Nathan sorry for bumping into you" Nathan said and couldn't stop staring at her.
"That's ok I better go see you around Nathan" Haley said as she walked off.
"I hope so" Nathan thought.
After class he met Lucas and Brooke.
"Hey Nate you look happy" Lucas said as Nathan came over and sat down.
"I am I met the girl of my dreams" Nathan said smiling.
"Already dam, hey don't you have a girlfriend" Lucas asked he didn't now Peyton that much but he didn't want his brother playing the poor girl.
"No we broke up over the summer I thought it'd be best if we were both single" Nathan lied but he was gonna break up with Peyton as soon as he got the chance too.
"Dam good idea" Lucas said.
"Hey" Brooke said and slapped him on the arm.
"Hey I meant for him not me we go to the same college it's easy when your partners here" Lucas said hoping she wasn't still mad.
"Ok your right, but you couldn't last a day without me" Brooke said.
"I couldn't even last an hour" Lucas said.
"Good answer" Brooke said and kissed him.
"So Luke did you talk to your friend" Nathan asked as Lucas stopped kissing Brooke.
"Not yet but she should be here in a minute you can ask her yourself" Lucas said and started kissing Brooke again.
"Cool thanks Luke" Nathan said.
Then he saw Haley the girl who occupied his thought since they met this morning and she was making her way over to them.
"Hey Lucas, Brooke I had the worst morning, I have to do a piece on the basketball team for the paper" Haley said.
"Why don't you do the piece on me" Lucas suggested.
"I would but I know you too well" Haley said.
"What about my brother" Lucas suggested.
"I don't know your brother" Haley stated.
"Oh yeah, Haley this is Nathan, Nathan this is Haley the smartest girl at Duke" Lucas said introducing them.
"Thanks Luke hi Nathan it's good to see you again" Haley said and sat down.
"Hi yeah you too" Nathan said not being to keep his eyes of her.
"Ok how do you know each other" Lucas asked.
"We bumped into each other earlier" Haley said and smiled at Nathan.
"Oh I see so you're" Lucas started to say and Nathan kicked him under the table. "Never mind" Lucas said obviously Nathan didn't want Haley to know he liked her.
"So anyway, Nathan I know we don't know each other well but would you consider letting me do a piece on you for the paper" Haley asked hoping he would.
"I'd be honoured" Nathan said as this was the perfect opportunity to get to know her better.
"Thanks Nathan I really appreciate it" Haley said.
"Haley you still tutor don't you" Lucas asked hoping she did.
"Not really why" Haley asked knowing Lucas didn't need a tutor.
"Nate needs a tutor and I sort of said you'd help him out" Lucas said.
"Sure I'll do it he's helping me it wouldn't be right if I didn't return the favour" Haley said.
"Thanks Hales you're the best, me and Brooke will catch you later, Nate I'll be over yours later" Lucas said and took Brookes hand so they could leave.
"Cool later Luke" Nathan said.
"Bye Hayley I'm gonna come and see you later" Brooke said.
"Later Brooke, so when would you like to meet for tutoring" Haley asked.
"I'm free in the morning if that's ok for you" Nathan suggested hoping she would.
"That's fine, what subjects are you struggling with" Haley asked.
"Try them all" Nathan said embarrassed.
"Ok what's your timetable so I can put it with mine and we can arrange tutoring sessions" Haley asked.
"Thanks Haley for helping me" as he handed her his schedule.
"It's my pleasure Nathan so when can I do the piece for the paper" Haley asked.
"We have a game on Saturday" Nathan said hoping she'd come.
"I'll be there, well I better go I'll see you tomorrow Nathan" Haley said.
"Bye Haley" Nathan said as she left.
