Chapter 3.

"Dude take a shower, you stink"

Those were the words that Nathan woke up for after three weeks of college. His life was getting back the way it use to be; basketball, school, parties, girls, hangovers. Last day was Friday and of course he had gone to yet another party with his friends from the team. Lucas didn't come to that party, because he was having girls plus Lucas and Jake -night in, at Haley and Brooke's dorm. That didn't prevent Nathan for having his usual night getting wasted and having fun with some random chicks. Every girl knew what kind of person Nathan Scott was with girls; he just had his ways with them and then he left them, and still they all practically threw themselves at him, just so they could tell everybody about their "absolutely perfect" night with Nathan Scott. Lucas was usually with him, but he decided to spend some time with girls and Jake. And since Nathan and Haley really didn't come along that plan worked perfect for both of them.

This whole Nathan and Haley's plan not to speak each other did not really work, but now they had found a silent resolve; they were fighting about everything, insulting each other and really trying to get under the other persons skin. After a little while no one tried to stop them anymore, because that was probably the only time when those two agreed about something; the fact that everyone else should stay out of their business. Of course they didn't like yell at each other all the time they just throw in some comments about everything that they could make up. Haley usually made comments about Nathan's behaviour with women, his attitude and his lack of interest in school. Nathan actually complained about exactly opposite things; that Haley was uptight, whose school was her life and everything like that. Sometimes Brooke, Peyton, Jake or Lucas, tried to defend the other people, usually Haley, because Nathan throw in some really nasty comments about Haley's personal life, which were not true, while Haley told him the truth about his way with girls.

Haley had proved yet again that she really was smart, she was now one of the best on her classes and she had also started tutoring again. Unfortunately, since school had just started there weren't actually any students who needed help. The head of the tutoring centre, Michael told Haley that she should wait for two weeks and then there would be lots of tutees, most of them jocks. When Brooke found out about Haley's tutoring background she also found her a nickname; Tutorgirl.

But now back to Nathan who was groaning something that didn't make any sense. Lucas chuckled and watched as his brother surfaced from his bed. As he did so Lucas also noticed the girl that was lying there next to Nathan.

"Dude don't you ever stop?" Lucas laughed as he gave him a nice cup of coffee. Nathan just rolled his eyes and took a sip from his coffee.

"You're the one to talk… at one point you and Brooke were like couple of horny bunnies", Nathan stuttered and hid other hand went up to his hair, I really need a shower. Lucas took a sip from his own cup.

"Yeah… well dude at least I stick with my own girl, unlike someone like you, who is having his fun with girl number 97"

"First of all that was not the point here and second of all stop saying dude, it's giving me headache"

"Are you sure that it's me, because I could swear that the one causing your headache is all the booze you throw down your throat last night or the one who is sleeping next to you", Lucas chuckled and motioned to the figure next to Nathan, that was starting to move. Lucas just stood there and watched as this brunette Barbie looking girl crawled next to Nathan and tired to kiss him.

"Good morning babe", she said and started to caress his hair. Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Here we go again", he mumbled so neither would hear. Nathan just stood up, before he spoke.

"Yeah, sure what ever just try to get out here as soon as possible I have basketball practise that I need to go, but last night was fun, bye", Nathan said before he went to bathroom. Brunette girl looked a little shocked before she grabbed her clothes and put them on. Lucas went to their little kitchen that was right next to their front door. There he could see when the girl was leaving.

"Don't worry you're not the first one", He said trying to be sympathetic, but the girl looked more like offended when she opened the door and almost pumped in to Haley who was standing on their door step clearly ready to knock.

"Haley come on in", Lucas greeted warmly and little relieved. He pushed the other girl out and pulled Haley in. Haley looked little confused before she started laughing.

"One of your brother's friends?" Haley asked when she could catch her breath.

"Yep", Lucas answered and started to pour Haley some coffee, "Do you still want some chocolate in your coffee?" Ever since they were 14 years old and started to drink coffee, Haley would always take hers with some chocolate on it.

"Don't you know me anymore?" Haley laughed and Lucas put on some chocolate flavour. "Thanks Luke"

"So, what dragged you in here at ten in the morning", Lucas asked and led Haley to their couch.

"Actually I needed to ask you something about out literature class, you the essay we were assigned to do-"

"Isn't it the conference of geeks", Nathan interrupted Haley, who was now glaring at him. Nathan just started to look his shirt while Haley continued her talk with Lucas.

"As I was saying, have you started the essay yet?"

"Have you seen my shirt Luke?" Nathan interrupted again; Lucas just shook his head for answer and then returned his attention to Haley.

"Well actually I just started it but-"

"Hey, would you like to get up so I could look for my shirt?" Nathan asked Lucas and Haley. Lucas got up, but Haley stayed put. She just smiled to Nathan sweetly.

"What?"

"Get up bitch, so I can look for my shirt", Nathan started to get frustrated. He came a little closer and Haley started to hold her breath.

"Has anyone told you today that you kind of stink?" Haley asked and pushed Nathan farter away. Lucas sat back down and sighed. Here we go again.

"Shut up and get up", Nathan said and tried to grab Haley's hand, but she dodged him.

"That wasn't very nice of you", Haley bugged him on purpose and looked under her butt and grabbed two things. She held them up for Nathan to see. "So were you looking this", she motioned to his baby blue shirt, "or these", she throw him a packet of condoms. Nathan's face turned slightly pink, put soon he gathered himself together, and flashed her, his trademark smirk.

"Give me both, I'm gonna need them", Haley gave him a disgusted face and turned her attention back to Lucas, who had slightly amused look on his face. "I guess he went for a girl number 97 then…"

"That's what I told him"

"I heard that"

"Come on Haley girls night out", Brooke whined, as she tried to convince Haley to come with her and Peyton to spend some quality time. "I mean no boys… you know what that means right?" She asked excited, but Haley looked more like bored and not so happy.

"I now that means that there will be no people who have-" One of Lucas and Nathan's team mates Tim started to explain eagerly.

"Tim do not finish that sentence", Peyton said and covered her ears just in case and Jake who was sitting next to her caressed her hair. The others just laughed while Tim looked confused.

"What? I was just answering the question", Tim sighed and dug deeper in to his chair while others shook their heads. They were at his and Jake's dorm; there were Nathan, Lucas, Jake, Tim, Haley, Brooke and Peyton.

"Haley come on", Brooke tried to use her puppy dog eyes. Haley lifted her gaze up from her essay, which she had been talking with Lucas this morning. She really wanted to go, but her school work was taking all of her time.

"I'm sorry Brooke, but I need to study, make my homework's and-"

"But it's Saturday. Tutor girl you can do all those things tomorrow, and you have done almost all of your homework, you can do the rest tomorrow", Brooke pouted and now also Peyton was looking at her pleadingly. Haley looked between her almost done essay and Brooke and Peyton's faces. She considered her options.

"Ok, fine", Haley agreed. Peyton and Brooke hit their hands together.

"Boy's we are going out", Brooke yelled from the door as they started to drag Haley back to their dorm. The door slammed and boy's looked at each other confused.

"Game of NBA-live?" Jake suggested and other guy's quickly agreed.

Haley was now officially regretting agreeing to spend some girl time, with Peyton and Brooke. Brooke was probably the first person she had ever seen buy so much things for just herself in one store. And now after three hours of shopping Haley was whining about her legs to Brooke with Peyton. Sure Peyton and Haley enjoyed shopping, but this was torture.

"Brooke, please can we take a break my feet's are killing me?" Haley asked pleadingly while Brooke was storming ahead of her and Peyton, who were both carrying one bag, when Brooke had about six bags in her hands. Brooke wasn't listening.

"Ooh… look at that there is a sale on Victoria's Secret store", Brooke yelled excitedly, not bothering to look did Haley and Peyton followed her. They looked at each other quickly.

"Music store?"

"You just read my mind"

"Come on that was foul"

"Was not"

"Is it my turn already?"

"NO"

Lucas and Nathan were now playing NBA-live and were having one of them usual basketball arguments. Nathan was winning like usual, but Lucas was starting play more like physical game on screen and on top of that he also distracted Nathan by kicking him every once in a while. Jake and Tim were trying to occupy themselves while the Scott brothers were picking on each other.

"Stop hitting me"

"Stop winning me"

"Loser"

"Jerk"

"You know, they start to sound more like Haley and Nathan than Lucas and Nathan", Jake said to Tim, who was now reading a magazine next to him.

"No we don't", Lucas and Nathan said at the same time. Jake just shook his head and went to get one of his school books. He might as well read some of him homework's while these two were fighting like two high school girls over some guy.

"Oh my god I love that CD", Peyton said when she saw that Haley was holding one of her favourite CDs Fall Out Boy's "From Under The Cork Tree". Haley lifted her gaze.

"You got this one?"

"Yeah"

"Well then I won't buy it", she laughed. Peyton was really glad that she now had friend who also really loved music, of course Jake also loved music, but now she also had a female friend with who she could talk about some of her favourite singers and bands.

"What kind of music do you listen to?" Peyton asked as she went through the NOFX –albums. Haley was flipping through the Dashboard Confessional –albums.

"I listen almost everything but what I really love is Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, The Wreckers, Yellowcard, The Beatles, Martina McBride, like everything expect rap and hip hop, I just I really don't just get when everyone is going crazy over some 50 Cent or Jay-Z, I just… It's not my thing. I really love something with very beautiful melody, I love acoustic performances and… ooh I really like to listen lyrics, so maybe that's why I don't really like 50 Cent, when he only talks about getting laid and something really dirty, so it's not my thing"

Peyton looked at Haley. Finally someone who had opinions about music, and not just something like: "yeah this is good" or "this is crap".

"So what kind of music do you listen?" Haley asked and went to the other side of Peyton where she could see better all the flyers that were on the wall.

"Just everything you know I have my seasons when I listen rock, punk, metal, country, alternative… Ooh I'll never get tired of listening Foo Fighters that I can promise to you, and also I like the Wreckers, Yellowcard, Elvis Costello, NOFX, Ramones, Keane, Modest Mouse all that kind and so much more… and I can't forgot all those older bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, the Beatles and all that kind of stuff, but of course I like all the new kind of stuff too, it's just that there are so many band's and singer's worth listening so when you try to remember all of those -"

"You just can't", Haley finished her sentence. "I know every time when some people ask me about my favourite bands I just can't give you a few, but can't remember all of those either."

"Exactly", Peyton finished and started to look also at the flyers. There were few band –information papers, some were selling old CDs or instruments and there were also flyers for Open Mic –nights and some talent show's. Peyton saw that Haley was looking some of those flyers little longingly. "Haley are you-"

"There is an Open Mic –night at one of the café's on this street tonight", some guy who had apparently been looking at them, or Haley more likely. That guy looked like he was maybe 20 or 21, he had brown hair and the greenest eyes, Haley had ever seen, he wasn't like man model or anything, but he was definitely worth looking. "Do you sing?" He asked as he started to put there jet another flyer.

"No, I was just looking", Haley denied immediately and she could feel Peyton's eyes on her back.

"Well you should definitely check it out. I'm sorry but I over heard your conversation and I just thought that you might like it", he said and gave the girl's a small smile.

"That's what they all say", Haley joked a little bit. "I'm Haley and this is Peyton" they all shook hands.

"Nice to meet you I'm Johnny", the guy said. "Well anyway, I need to get back to work. I'll be seeing you"

"Bye", Haley said and waved her hand. Peyton was smirking when she turned to look at Haley and was just opening her mouth when Brooke finally found them.

"Of course I find you guys at the first lame-ass music store… P. Sawyer, why are you smirking?"

A/N: So here it was, I know there wasn't much Naley, but I really wanted to get her little closer with Peyton and all so. What do you think?
