After thoughts, well Haley wasn't really sure about how she felt about the kiss so she decided to keep it to herself and not tell Brooke or Jake. English was awkward at first, they would catch each other staring then the other one would look away quickly. Nathan so wanted to apologize but he felt maybe it was too soon and he would say the wrong thing so he decided to wait a little longer and just figure things out in his head. While Brooke had no idea what happened she wasn't able to put in her B. Davis advice. She sat in history class a few minutes before class started, Jake and Haley had yet to arrive. Lucas walked through the door and went and took his seat only feet away from Brooke.

"hi Brooke" he said in a low almost sad voice.

"hi broody" Brooke smiled.

"broody?" he turned and looked at her confused. "did you forget my name?"

"no silly.. it's the nickname i thought up for you" she smiled brightly.

A smirk arose on Lucas' features "alright then cheery"

"ohh nice" she laughed.

He smiled then cleared his throat "so how's Haley..?"

"what do you mean?" she looked at him confused "oh do you mean with the break up of her and Demon West? She should've realized dating someone named Damien isn't joyful. I mean hello the omen!" Brooke exclaimed and Lucas just smirked.

"No I mean with her and Nathan after the kiss"

Brooke's eyes widen "what kiss?"

"uh... forget i said anything" Lucas turned to the front of the classroom.

"broody!" she whined "you have to tell me. What happened between tutorgirl and Nathan?"

"it's not my place to say.."

"pleaseeeeee"

he turned and looked at her "theres probably a reason Haley hasn't told you yet.."

"Tell me." she said forcefully.

"uhhh. Well Nathan went to see how Haley was after the Damien thing and somehow they kissed and it was going good then Nathan tried to take off her shirt cause he's a idiot and she kicked him out"

"WHAT!?" Brooke's jaw dropped "so that's why Haley was acting all odd yesterday, i just figured it was over the Damien shit still... i can't believe she hasn't told me or Jake yet"

"There's probably a good reason for that... but don't tell her i..." before he continue Jake and Haley walked in laughing and took their seats by Brooke and Lucas. "hey Jake.. Hi Haley"

"hi Lucas" Haley smiled sweetly. "Hey tigger"

"hi tutorgirl.." Brooke plastered a grin on her face, she knew she couldn't ask about the kiss now even though she wanted to so bad.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nathan couldn't help but watch Haley during practice, he still couldn't figure out a great way to apologize for the kiss, if he even wanted to apologize. Yes he knew he was semi attracted towards her, but he never really thought about actually liking her. But apparently that had run through everyone else's mind.

"you know if you keep staring at her like that she's gonna think you're a stalker" Lucas laughed only loud enough for Nathan to hear.

Nathan glared at his brother "not funny" he shoved him away playfully.

"ha ha, whatever it's the truth.." Lucas winked.

"i don't get how we are related..."

"Well don't forget we have different moms" Lucas walked away and onto the court.

A cellphone began to ring, everyone looked around wondering who it was "WHO'S CELLPHONE IS THAT!?" Whitey yelled.

"it's mine coach" Jake admitted.

"well answer it Jagielski! I don't wanna hear that racket during practice"

"sorry coach" Jake ran over and grabbed his phone and answered it "hey this isn't a really good time... wait what? No. you can't do that! What are you talking about!? Don't go anywhere I'll be right there!" he hung up and looked at Whitey "coach.."

Whitey shook his head "go.. but it better be a good reason Jagielski!"

"yeah.." Jake nodded and ran towards the door, Brooke grabbed his arm and looked at him. He just nodded.

"call me if you need anything" she said and let him continue out of the gym.

- - - - - - - - - -

Brooke had been worrying for over 3 hours now about Jake, she knew where he went without him even having to say it. Haley had come back to the room about a hour ago, and she didn't really ask why cheerful Brooke didn't look that cheerful, but she had a weird feeling it had to do with Jake's sudden departure from the gym.

"Brooke?" Haley finally asked breaking the hour long silence.

"huh?" she looked at Haley "yeah tutorgirl?"

"are you alright?"

"yeah, why wouldn't i be? I'm perfectly fine" she plastered a smile on her face.

"okay that is so a fake smile Brooke Davis" Haley got off of her bed and went and sat on Brooke's "i know somethings up"

"how do you know that? We've only been roommates for like a week" Brooke laughed.

"yeah, well I'm good at reading people.. does this have anything to do with Jake's sudden departure from the gym today?"

Brooke half nodded "Yeah, it basically does"

"Well what is it?"

before Brooke could answer the door opened and in walked in a depressed looking Jake, she got up and went over to him hugging him "i've been worried about you"

"oh.." was all he said.

She backed up and looked at his face "what happened Jake?"

"she's taking her, she's decided to just up and leave and take her far away" Jake's voice cracked.

"she can't do that! There has to be some kind of law"

"I told my dad he's gonna look into it.." Jake couldn't hold them back anymore and let the tears start flowing. "i can't lose her Brooke"

Brooke pulled him into her arms and rubbed him back "i know jakey, we'll fight it... i promise you"

Haley sat there in silent not sure what to say "is everything alight?"

Brooke looked at her and shook her head no "not really tutorgirl..."

"i'm sorry Jake, whatever it is I'm sorry"

"jakey do you wanna lay down and I'll go get you some hot coca" all he could do was nod, she helped him over to her bed and helped him down. "hey tutorgirl come with me"

Haley nodded and stood up, her and Brooke walked out of the room and headed down the hallway "so.."

"Here's the deal tutorgirl, I'll tell you what's going on cause Jake has come to trust you and all..." Brooke explained.

"alright.."

Brooke took a deep breath and started to tell Haley "Jake has a daughter Jenny.. she's about 7 months now, Jake was dating this senior last year Nikki and they got pregnant. Well right after Nikki graduated and started to show, she broke up with Jake saying she wanted to keep her options open. And apparently now from what you heard she wants to leave and take Jenny with her.."

"wow..." was all Haley could say.

"yeah... i never liked Nikki but i kept my mouth shut cause I rather see my best friend Happy.." Brooke sighed "but she can't just take Jenny like that. Jake pays child support with the money he was left from his grandfathers death and the money he made over the summer. He buys all of Jenny's belongings. He sees her every weekend, he had her a lot during the summer while Nikki whored around... and Nikki does nothing! I mean she lives with Nikki and her parents but god.."

"it's gonna be alright Brooke.. I'll help you guys" Haley smiled.

"thanks tutorgirl.. Jake would love that" she smiled and linked arms with Haley as they continued down the hall. "now i have something i need to ask you.."

"ask away.." Haley smiled.

"do you want to explain this Nathan Scott kiss thing?" Brooke smirked.

Haley bit her lip and looked at Brooke "i'm sorry i didn't tell you and... wait how did you find out?"

"Lucas." Brooke smiled.

"you and Lucas talked?" Brooke nodded "about me and Nathan?"

"Yeah, not my dream conversation with him or anything but yeah. So details!"

"okay well i dont know how it happened but it did.. then he tried to take off my shirt and go further and i just asked him to leave" Haley sighed.

"haley.." Brooke stopped walking and looked at her "Are you a virgin?"

Haley nodded slowly "Yeah i am.."

"good for you, just promise me you'll wait for the right one.."

"i promise"

Brooke smirked "hey maybe it will be Nathan"

"Ha ha.. very funny" they started walking down the hall again.

Rachel and Damien were lying in his bed after a quick sex session, Rachel was starting to put her clothes back on "so what are we gonna do to ruin Nathan and Haley?"

"dude first off are we even sure there is a Nathan and Haley besides friends and second. I don't want him to break my nose again" Damien pointed to his bruised nose.

"don't be such a baby Damien.. Nathan has always tried to be better than you at everything we have to beat him in his own game" she smirked evilly.

"you are evil Rachel.." he smirked and licked his lips "it kinda turns me on" he sat up and tried to pull her down.

"down tiger.. no more sex till you come up with a plan to ruin them" she said as she zipped up her track jacket.

"ugh" Damien sighed and fell back against the pillows "whatever.."

"hey, hey.." she sat on the bed "don't whatever me.."

"you're being so unfair"

"come on.." she leaned in and kissed him, then quickly pulled away "be a good boy and do your job and I'll give you a treat" she stood back up "now i must go.. bye" she smirked and headed out into the hallway and runs into Peyton.

Peyton looks at her confused "uh please don't tell me you just came out of Damien's room"

"what if i did" Rachel smirked and walked down the hall with her best friend.

"what are you up to Rachel?"

"I'm appalled you would think i was up to something"

Peyton rolled her eyes "don't lie Rachel.. you're having sex with Damien why?"

"why does their have to be a reason.?" she asked innocently.

"whatever Rachel... if you're up to something just think it through first alright?"

"alright, alright" Rachel defended "but i swear I'm not up to anything.. don't you trust your best friend?"

"of course' Peyton lied, she knew for a fact Rachel and Damien were up to something and she had a good feeling it had to do with Nathan and the new girl.

After Brooke got Jake his hot chocolate, Haley decided to walk around the campus so Brooke and Jake could talk alone. She figured maybe she could finally think about what happened yesterday. Apparently Nathan had the same idea, they both stopped seeing each other standing feet from each other, he took a deep breath and walked up to her.

"Hey Hales.." he said smiling.

"hi Nathan" she responded back, Hales that was new.. it was nice though.

"listen.." he took a deep breath "i'm really sorry about yesterday i got caught up in the moment and I'm so sorry.. i shouldn't have kissed you"

Haley sighed and admitted "Nathan, that kiss was fine.." she ran her fingers through her hair "it was what happened after the kiss began is what i didn't like"

"i'm so sorry for that.." he sighed "forgive me?"

Haley nodded "Yeah of course..."

They stood their for a few moments in silence not sure what else to say. Nathan finally decided to speak "yeah i should be going.. I'll see ya around" he started to walk away.

Haley turned and watched "Yeah, see ya around.."

what will happen next?
