It was Monday morning the start of senior year Lucas, Brooke, Nathan, Jake, Peyton, and Haley all stood outside of Tree Hill High. Nathan stated, "This is the beginning of the end." Nathan glanced over at Brooke who was in Lucas' arms and thought about what Coop had told him.

Haley replied, "Well see you all later I have English to get to." Haley began to walk away from the group.

Nathan said, "Wait up I have English too." Brook looked questioning at Nathan and Haley as they left the group together.

Peyton and Brooke went to science while Jake and Lucas ventured on to Math. Peyton remarked, "I think that Nathan and Haley are going to end up together."

Brooke looked at Peyton with a disgusted look on her face and stated, "I don't think so." Brooke had attitude in her voice towards that comment.

Meanwhile in math Jake spoke, "Hey Luke" Lucas looked over at him. "You think Nate and Haley are going to hook up?"

Lucas looked at him and puzzled, "Where did you come up with that?"

Jake answered, "Just an observant I have made."

Lucas laughed and replied, "No way will it never happen Haley despises Nathan." Truth is Lucas loved his brother, but he'd never let him date Haley. She was way too important to him.

In English, Nathan questioned, "So you think you could tutor me? I know the school year hasn't started, but I figured I jump right on it?"

Haley puzzled, "Are you serious?"

Nathan answered, "Yeah I need to keep up my grades to stay in basketball. I just figured if I am going to pick a tutor it might as well be the best."

Haley smiled and responded, "Flattery will get you no where Scott, but I will tutor you." Nathan smiled and nodded at Haley, and this way he could work on this idea he had been thinking about.

Later on at lunch Lucas saw Haley and spoke, "Hey Hales."

Haley said, "Hey Lucas."

Lucas asked, "I'm on my way to meet Brooke for lunch want to join us?"

Haley answered, "Luke I would love that" Lucas smiled "But I am meeting Nathan we have some things to talk about."

Lucas questioned, "I thought you couldn't stand him?"

Haley replied, "Well you told me to give him a chance, so I am later Luke."

Lucas walked into the lunch room where Brooke, Peyton, and Jake were. Brooke puzzled, "I thought you were going to bring Haley?"

Lucas answered, "She had plans with Nathan" Brooke looked surprised and Lucas looked irritated.

Peyton and Jake smirked at the same time, "Told you so."

Brooke wondered what Jake had meant and Lucas wondered what Peyton was talking about. So both Brooke and Lucas asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Peyton replied, "I told Brooke that Haley and Nathan would end up together."

Jake responded, "That is what I told Lucas."

Lucas and Brooke looked at one another and stated, "No!"
