A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed, it means a lot that you're sticking with my story. Again, sorry for the long wait, but life has gotten in the way. Basically, I won't be able to update as frequently as I want to and it sucks, but there's not much I can do about it. So this chapter is just kind of like a preview to what is going to happen in the next few chapters. I wanted to make it much longer, but decided to just cut it in half and then post the other half later on. I have a lot of things planned for this story and I'm going to start putting up ideas or ask for reader's opinions for what they would like to see happen, like for example more races. That will take place on my twitter account /Bluerain23. So you can check that out. Thanks again for the support and I hope you enjoy the chapter! - K

"Nathan! Move your ass!" Brooke yelled again from the kitchen. I flinched back and covered my ears. Gosh, I never really realized how loud she could be. Well it's around 8 am and she's rushing Nathan and of course is he paying any mind to her? No not really. I sipped on my coffee and tried to block out my best friend's voice. This whole getting up thing is not my style. I much rather sleep all day, whereas Nathan gets up as soon as day breaks…well sometimes. Oh who am I kidding he's just as lazy as I am, if not, even more so.
"Nathan!" She shouted…oh god if she doesn't stop…I officially have a head ache. I got up from my seat and quickly covered her mouth with my hand before she shrieked again. I smiled and took my hand away.
"I will go get him, just…be quiet." I spoke softly and trudged my way up the stairs. Oh did I forget to mention that this place is like a freaking mansion. Oh, I did, how dare I forget. When we first got here I got lost, that is until Lucas drew me out a mini map…no I'm just kidding, well about the mini map of course. As I turned the corner of the hallway and opened the door to my and Nathan's room and I am met with complete silence and darkness. Searching for the light I quick switch only to see a completely peaceful Nathan with a pillow over his head blocking out any kind of noise…ahem Brooke, and light. I move over to the bed and slide right next to him and wrap my arm around his back, resting my cheek on his shoulder. He stirs slightly and catches me off guard when he turns completely, so that he is now facing me.
"Hey," his sleep laced voice barely fills the room. By the look of it he still looks completely exhausted, who could blame him, having to deal with Brooke, driving here, then having to deal with Brooke again, yeah no wonder he's tired. I smile at him and run my fingers through his dark raven hair.
"Hey, it's time to get up." I whisper. He moves closer to me and buries his face into the crook of my neck and whispers out a quiet "no". Oh isn't he just adorable.
"Nathan, come on please wake up…" I whine and he just simply shakes his head. I don't want to disturb him, but if he doesn't get up then we're both going to have to deal with Brooke…and that just spells trouble. "Baby, you have to get up, or your sister is going to come in here and start screaming and if I hear her yell one more time I'm going to strangle her, then she'll die, and Lucas will hate me cuz I kill his girlfriend, and you'll hate me cuz I killed your sister, and I'll hate me cuz I killed my best friend, and everyone is going to hate me…and it's all because you don't want to get up!" I finished my long rant. Nathan's head rose slowly from my shoulder and he had a frightened expression across his face that soon turned to an amused one. I gave him my frustrated stare and he chuckled. Sighing with embarrassment I move to get up from the bed only to be pulled right back down by my laughing boyfriend.
"Nathan, let go of me." I tried to pull his arm off of me, but Nathan being Nathan, he tightens his grip on me and continues to laugh. "I'm glad you find this funny." I deadpan.
"Baby, I'm sorry, it's just…I highly doubt any of that will happen. Brooke's your best friend; you're not going to kill her and no one is going to hate you." He grinned.
"Yeah, that's because you finally woke your ass up. Chop chop, before I sick Brooke on you." I smirked when his face fell as he realized he had no excuses left.
" Hales…" He whined. Shaking my head at him, I smiled and kissed his pouting lips before moving off the bed and leaving the room.
As I entered the kitchen I couldn't help but to laugh at the sight before me. Poor Lucas, there he was on the kitchen counter, clutching his coffee mug with a death grip with his head on the counter facing my way. Walking further into the room I could hear Brooke going on about some check list, looking back at Lucas, I giggled when he mouthed "help me" and shut his eyes without a doubt from a pounding head ache.
"Oh there you are Haley, did you hurry my lazy brother up? For a second there I thought I was going to have to go up stairs myself and drag the two of you down here." Brooke rambled. "Anyway where is he?"
"He's coming downstairs now Brooke." I sigh and sit next to Lucas. "How long has she been like this?"
"Since forever, with Brooke all of her plans have to be perfect, so she double checks everything and then triple checks and I think you get the point." Lucas sighs and puts his head back down on the counter.
"I'm guessing you're still not use to it?" I ask and laugh when he rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, not exactly, sure you get use to it, but not at eight in the morning when she wakes you up just to go to the freaking beach that's still going to be there in a few hours." Lucas vented and nodded to something behind me. Turning my head I see its Nathan coming toward us. He stops behind me and bumps his fist against Lucas' fist, then turning to me he kisses my lips softly before turning to Brooke.
"Will you shut the hell up already? I'm here; you're going to drive them crazy before the weekend even begins." Nathan smirks at his sister's baffled expression as she huffs and grabs her bag and stomps her way out the house.
"Thanks a lot Nate." Lucas deadpans.
"What?"Nathan plays dumb.
"Now she's going to be pissed all day."
"No she won't, trust me she's my sister, I didn't cross the line I'm not that dumb Luke." Nathan informs and starts to pick up one end of the cooler and Luke grabs the other end. "Can you grab my towel, Hales?"
"Yeah," I answer and follow them out the house; after locking the door we chased after Brooke. Running past the guys I try to catch up with Brooke and finally get within a walking distance from her.
"Brooke, wait up!" I called out to her. She stopped and waited, when I finally caught up to her she smiled and intertwined are arms together. "So what are we doing today, party planner?"
"Well I was thinking we spend the morning at the beach, have lunch in a fancy restaurant, and hit this bonfire party tonight. A couple of my old friends from the academy are throwing it and invited us to come. Is that okay?" She asked trying to read me.
"Uh, yeah, why wouldn't it be?" I gave her fake smile. Honestly everything sounds great, except the whole bonfire thing. I think it's great that Brooke, Lucas, and Nathan will be able to see all their old friends, but I'll be the only odd ball out around a whole bunch of girls that could possibly have history with Nathan. Yeah this weekend officially sucks.
