Chapter three

5:00 rolls around and Haley is becoming anxious looking at the clock wondering if Nathan Scott is actually going to show up.

Nathan walks into the library and Lucas and he immediately lock eye contact. Nathan with a smirk on his face stares at Lucas the entire time while walking over to Hayley's table.

"Its 5:03, next time don't be late"

Nathan sits down and starts to pull his books out as Lucas comes over in a hurry "Nathan just what do you think you are doing sitting with Hayley"

"Look Lucas im helping him with his calc homework its nothing, plus he was late today so this probably won't continue."

"Ya Lucas she's just helping me with my calculus, relax man."

Lucas stares at Nathan and walks away in a hurry.

"Sorry about that, he gets weird about me talking to you"

"It's alright, I understand. Sorry for being late by the way, basketball went a little late, skills was talking back to whittey and caused some extra sprints."

Hayley laughed and began to blush as they continued to talk back and forth and occasionally get a word or two in about calculus.

Meanwhile, Lucas goes to the diner to tell his mom the awful news.

"Mom can you believe what I just saw? It was Nathan and Hayley interacting!"

"Calm down Lucas, I'm sure it's nothing. She's too bright of a girl to get involved with a kid like him."

Karen hands Lucas a coffee and continues to clean while talking with Lucas. Keith walks in and joins the conversation.

"What's up kid, you look a little upset."

"His Hayley James is interacting with Nathan and he is not too happy about it."

"Mom I don't know how you don't see this as a problem!?"

Keith laughs and says "Lucas who is Hayley's best friend of all time?"

"Me"

"Then what are you worrying about, trust me she's smarter than that and I have feeling Nathan will be busy in these upcoming weeks."

"Ya I meant to tell you, the other day the weirdest thing happened. Nathan was at my basketball game…I'm sure he was plotting to make me lose or something. Maybe Dan sent him"

Keith smiled, took a sip of coffee and said "Hey maybe he likes to watch his brother play"

"Don't go there Uncle Keith"

Lucas grabs his backpack and coffee and heads out to go to the mechanic shop.

When he arrives however there is a woman standing there with blonde hair and a tall skinny figure, it was Peyton.

"Hey Peyton what are you doing here?"

Payton grabs the wrench and begins to play with it, "I thought you could show me a thing or two about fixing a car"

"Look I'd love to but I actually have a lot of work to do.

Payton walks closer to Lucas and slowly begins to kiss him. They begin to make out

"Whoa you gotta warn me when you're trying to get a girl pregnant"

Lucas and Peyton quickly turn.

"What are you doing here Dan?"

"I just wanted to see how my brother was doing but I guess he's having uneducated kids in his spot now"

"Hess at lunch what do you want"

"Just tell him I stopped by"

Dan slowly walks away
