Chapter Two
"I'm driving!" Haley shouted at Nathan; she was not going to let him win. He was a mean, insufferable jerk and she was sure that if he drove, they would all be dead by tomorrow.
"What? It's my parents car, so I'm driving!" Nathan shouted. How could she just decide that she was driving? That wasn't fair and it wasn't even her car!
"Yes, but we are less likely to get killed if I'm driving!" Haley shouted.
"You know you can get pulled over for going to slow!" Nathan retorted.
"But we won't die!" Haley shouted, extremely frustrated.
"Haley, I'm driving. That's the end of it. Anyway we need you 'cos you're such a geek, so you can be in charge of the map!" Nathan shouted.
"Calling you an idiot, would be an insult to all the stupid people out there!" Haley was furious.
"At least I'm not a geek like you!" Nathan shouted. Why did she get under his skin like that?
"What? At least I'm not living proof that a man can function without a brain." Haley shouted.
"Haley, I'm driving, let it go!" Nathan shouted. Haley stormed off, closely followed by Brooke. Julian followed Nathan as he stormed off in the other direction.
With Haley
"He just makes me so mad Brooke!" Haley said, pacing up and down, while Brooke sat down on a near by chair.
"I know hunny." Brooke said comfortingly.
"I just don't think I can take a whole road trip of it!"
"Hales, it will be ok, and if not, well we can expect a slap coming his way." Brooke said smiling. Haley laughed, Brooke always had a way to make her feel better, no matter what.
With Nathan
"I don't know how you always remain so calm." Nathan said to Julian.
"You do most of the time, you only blow up in front of Haley!" Julian answered trying to make Nathan feel better.
"She just gets under my skin man." Nathan said.
"It will be ok, its only for 10 days. Whats the worst that could happen?" Julian said.
In the Car
The jeep they were driving, had seven seats: two in the front, three in the middle and two in the back. Lucas and Peyton had sealed themselves off from everyone by sitting in the two backseats and talking about music. Nathan was driving with Julian sitting next to him and Haley and Brooke were in the middle. You could cut the tension with a knife. Brooke, Julian, Nathan and Haley had not said anything since they started the journey ten minutes ago. It may not seem like a long time but it felt like an hour, seeing as no one could hear Peyton or Lucas, car was silent.
"I know, Why don't we play the radio game?" Brooke said; happy that she had finally found something to say.
"Sounds good!" Julian said, glad that Brooke had found a way to break the silence. Nathan and Haley nodded in agreement. the group left Peyton and Lucas alone, as they seemed to be having a good interesting conversation and of course all of them had bets to see when they were going to get together. Brooke had bet of a date close to now, so she wanted them to get a move on.
"Right so, we ask the radio a question, pick a random station, then whatever song is playing is the answer, got it?" They nodded their heads in agreement. "Me first!" Brooke said excitedly. "Will I have a good time at college?" Brooke asked, she then turned the radio on, it was playing California girls by Katy Perry.
California gurls, we're unforgettable
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot, will melt your popsicle
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
California gurls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
"I guess we are going to become true California girls!" Brooke laughed and Haley joined in. She couldn't wait to go to college. She was sure it was going to be amazing.
"I'll go next." Nathan volunteered. "What will my college experience be like?" Nathan asked the radio. The song Sex on fire by the Kings of Leon came on. Haley rolled her eyes. It looked like Nathan was still going to be a man whore where ever he went.
Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest
You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
"Looks like it gonna be good couple of years." Nathan smirked. Why does he have to be so obnoxious?, Haley thought. Nathan saw the look on Haley's face. It was a joke, why was she taking it so seriously? He thought. He decided to wind her up even more. "Jealous Haley, of my amazing skills? Ask anyone, they will tell you that I am the best sex they have ever had!" Nathan said. Lucas and Peyton joined the conversation, because of Nathan shouting.
"Better at sex than anyone? now all you need is a willing partner!" Haley retorted. Peyton decided that enough was enough, they were not going to have another argument today.
"Nathan, Haley, zip it. Stop arguing just for a couple of hours please!" Peyton asked.
"Ok, if he stops being such a dick!" Haley said.
"Bitch!"
"Jerk!"
"Whore!" With each word the pair, seemed to get louder.
"Asshole!"
"Stop it!" Peyton boomed. She looked at the time. "Nathan its getting late, pull over into the hotel and we will get some rooms!" Peyton said. Nathan did as he was told and pulled up outside the hotel. Brooke, Peyton and Haley walked over to reception.
"Can we have four rooms with double beds please?" Brooke asked.
"I'm sorry, but we are booked out, I can only give you two double bed rooms and a room with a double bed and a single bed." The receptionist said.
"Ok, we'll take them!" Peyton said. While Brooke handed over her credit card. The girls walked back to the boys and explained the situation.
"So there was lots of ways we can do this. Peyton and I can take a double bed. Brooke and Julian can take the other double bedrooom and Nathan and Lucas can take the double and single bedroom or... "
"Girlie I'm going to stop you right there." Peyton said.
"Nathan. Haley. We have decided that you are going to take the double and single bedroom." Julian said.
"What?" They both exclaimed.
"Look in order for this to be a fun trip, you have to get along!" Lucas said.
"By getting to know each other maybe that will happen." Brooke explained.
"Please don't do this!" Haley begged.
"Sorry, but it's final just be happy we gave you the double and the single, so me and Julian will go together and Peyton and Lucas will go together!" Brooke said. Peyton pulled Brooke to the side, while Lucas and Julian tried to calm down Nathan and Haley.
"Brooke why are you putting me and Lucas together?" Peyton asked. "Its gonna be really awkward!"
"Peyton I know you love Lucas but he doesn't know that,so trust me it won't be awkward and besides you will get spend more time with him." Brooke said.
"Ok then!" Peyton said more happy. The group took their suitcases up to their rooms.
In Nathan and Haley's room
"I'm getting the double bed!" Haley shouted.
"What? No your not!" Nathan said.
"Rock, paper, scissors?" Haley said. Nathan nodded.
"Rock, paper, scissors!" They both said. Haley did Rock and Nathan did scissors.
"I win!" Haley said while jumping on the double bed.
"Best two out of three?" Nathan asked hopefully, Haley just gave him a look that said as if! The group ate dinner together and fortunately there were no arguments. At around mid-night Haley and Nathan walked up to their bedroom, exhausted from all the traveling. They quickly got changed and got into their respective beds.
"I guess we should try and get to know each other." Nathan said.
"Seriously?" Haley asked.
"Fine, if you don't want to. I was just trying to make an effort!"
"No, I just didn't think you would want to."
"Ok well, how do we do this?" Nathan asked. Haley shrugged. "So you live with Brooke and Peyton?" Nathan asked, hoping it would spark a conversation, fortunately it did.
"As you know Brooke's parents are never around and Peyton's Dad is often away, it just made sense." Haley answered.
"Where are your parents?" Nathan asked, then realized that it might have been a bit too forward.
"In an RV somewhere. I have three older sisters and three older brothers. So once they left, my parents said they wanted to see what's out there. So they bought the RV. They went about every other weekend when I was fourteen. At fifteen, they went for a whole week every other week and when I turn sixteen they went. They come back occasionally, but not much. I kinda wish they had been there more, you know, like they had with my older siblings. But they loved it in the RV and I wasn't going to tell them to come home. Anyways, I moved in with Brooke and Peyton. So none of us would get lonely." Haley said, then realised she had said too much and added. "Don't make fun of me."
"I wasn't going to. If its any consolation, I wish my Dad was traveling in an RV when I growing up. I love my mom. She's the best, I mean you've met her tons of time." Nathan said. Haley nodded. "I just don't get why she is still with someone like my Dad. I mean he's horrible to her. And with me and Lucas, he pressures us with basketball, sometimes it just gets too much." Nathan said.
"At least, you have your mom. She's great." Haley said while yawning.
"Goodnight Haley."
"Goodnight Nathan." Haley fell asleep straight away. Nathan lay in bed thinking, he was glad Haley trusted him with something like that, maybe there was hope for him and Haley. He then fell in a peaceful sleep.
The Next morning
The girls were meeting up for an early breakfast so they could gossip without the guys. "Was last night awkward?" Brooke asked Peyton.
"Actually no, we stayed up practically the whole night. Just talking, it was amazing. I'm going to tell him how I feel soon. I just hope he feels the same way!" Peyton said dreamily.
"Don't worry. I'm sure he will." Haley said knowing that Lucas felt the same way about Peyton.
"Was last night ok for you?" Brooke asked Haley.
"I guess. We talked a little and we didn't argue," She paused. "That much." She added.
"Good, since neither of you asked, My night went well. Me and Julian are friends with benefits again!" Brooke said.
"Have you ever thought of having an actual relationship with him?" Haley asked.
"Maybe. But if we ever broke up, I don't think I could take that. I couldn't imagine him not being in my life." Brooke said.
