Chapter IX - Roadtrip and 'Step Up'
"So what's the thing with Mr. Hottie?" I heard Brooke
"With who?" I played my dumb card
"The boy from the stairs. He looks cute"
"Hand off girl, you got your own. He is totally mine"
"I gottcha! I know you got a thing for him." she smiled at me "Besides how do you mean I got my own?"
"Well you know this is a University" I started to apologize for her like a five-year-old. "And the great thing is here, they got boys too, you know. And when we come in there is slash were a practice with tons of boys. And if you looked up you would saw one of them stared at you"
"Was he cute? Like Hottie?" she asked with a growing smile
"Yep, actually they are brothers."
"Hmmm... Then I totally have to meet with him."
"You know Girlie, that you can give anybody that 'I-got-nothing-to-worry-about-I-am-hot' shell, but I know you better. You won't go out with him, you are not a whore."
"Okay, you got me too. Anyway back to dance."
"Okay everybody! Back to the floor!"
-----------------------------------------------------
We arrived back at our room exhausted at eight o'clock. Brooke put Allison in the bed, and we got our little 'girl talk' about how will we managed to dance, study, work and keep an eye on Allison at the same time. We didn't realized it before how hard it will be. After one hour talk, we fall asleep.
-----------------------------------------------------
I wake up the sun is shining at my face. I glanced over to my phone, and jump up
"Oh sht, I overslept. I already miss my first two classes!" I yelled, and run to the bath. I saw a note on the kitchen table
Hey Hun,
I'm at work till 16:00 Allison is with me. Don't worry, we will back at 16:15, I made some coffee. Enjoy your day, and call me if Hottie is around ;)
Partygirl
Okay, so we maybe won't meet, cuz Nathan will be here after four. I wrote a quick note to Brooke, then started dressing and drinking my coffee. Sure it wasn't a DM, but it will help me stay aweak. Then I was ready for this day.
-----------------------------------------------------
As late as my day started as soon it's ended. I was a little bit scared about the afternon and the night. What should I wear, what should we do? Brooke wasn't here to help me found the perfect outfit, so I just choose a light-blue jeans and a black tank top. The top got a streetdancer's shadow on it but in white. Considering it was just september, I put my jeans jacket on the chair. It was three o'clock, and I started to put my weekend stuffs in my 'practicebag'.
Nathan arrived at 16:00.
"Hey Hales"
"Hey back at you. How coud you be here so soon?"
"Coach let us go some minutes earlier, cuz the half of the team wanted to go a party" he smiled at me
"And why you are not on that party?" I asked with a big smile on my face. He just smiled back at me.
"Ready to go?"
"As ready as I will ever be" He grabbed my pack, and started our ride.
-----------------------------------------------------
As you already saw it, I'm not a quite person. So the silent in the car was killing me. Not to mention, we have hours in front of us...
"So..." I started "are you going to stay at the weekend too?"
"Don't know yet. Depends on my mood"
"Lucky you. Sometimes I just want to get out Tree Hill for one weekend"
"You never been out?"
"Just one time. It was with Jake. We have to beg my mom for like a month to let me stay out in the whole weekend. It was pretty funny, saw Jake as begging"
"I really liked to watch that" he got that smile again "And where did you go?"
"If I told you, I would have to kill you, and that will be a shame" I smiled back at him. We chated like that at the whole trip. It was great, it feelt like chatting with Jake, if I didn't mention that little flip in my stomach. I could be myself with him too. I didn't realized that we are in Tree Hill so soon.
"Do you want to put your pack out first? Or just go to the club?"
"Definitly the club! I can't wait to meet Peyt, and to dance again"
"Yeah I can't wait either" he mummbled
"What?"
"Nothing, just can't wait to see the club"
"Oh, it's great, you'll love it" I was just like a kid on Christmas morning. "Next turn right, and then just straight ahead."
We arrived at the club 8 o'clock, but there was a long line at the door.
"That will be an hour to stand."
"Well, you are a lucky boy Nathan Scott, that you have me." I smiled at him over my shoulder. I just went straight next to the line, and at the front, I give a kiss on the cheek for the man who stand outside, I saw Nate followed me.
"Hey Stan, how are you?"
"Nothing new little girl. Are you gonna give us a show tonight?"
"Don't think so. Maybe next week. We're just here to have some fun. Who is here tonight?"
"Peyt as always, and she's the DJ tonight. If you give us a show call me" he winked at me.
"Sure. Oh and Stan, this is Nathan Scott, Nathan this is Stan Smith, my number one fan and overprotective daddy image."
"Hey you"
"Mr. Smith" Nathan nodded
"Call me Stan, and look after Hal, they love her inside" I saw Nathan's questoning look, so I just interrupted the conversation
"We are gonna go Stan." we started moving inside "Welcome to my world Nathan Scott" I said when we get in the club.
