Brooke lay on her bed mindlessly flipping through her chem book. She was way too distracted to actually study. Nathan was coming over in 20 minutes and Brooke was beyond nervous. Was he expecting something to happen tonight or were they really just going to study? Brooke heard a knock on her door and looked up. Lucas was standing there and she nodded for him to come in.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked sitting down on her bed
"Nathan's coming over." She replied keeping her head down
"Why is that a bad thing? You're not going to break up with the kid are you?"
"No god no, it's just Nathan never come over to study at night before and I'm worried he might be expecting something more."
"I don't want to hear about my little sister worrying about having sex with my little brother. Oh my god, I think I actually need therapy."
"Lucas shut up." Brooke threw a pillow at him which he caught and tossed back to her
"Nathan is a different guy since he's been dating you. Just chill out, besides are you really going have sex with Mom in the kitchen?" Lucas wriggled his eyebrows at his sister and chuckled.
"Lucas!"
"Brooke! Have fun tonight, I gotta go. I have my own date."
"Let me guess with none other then little Ms. Haley James right?"
"Yeah thanks by the way for telling her I'm a virgin."
"Anytime big brother." Lucas smiled at Brooke then shut the door to leave Brooke to her own thoughts.

Nathan stood in front of his mirror fixing his hair and sighing.
"Why am I so worried?" Nathan said out loud to no one.
"It's because you really like this girl you idiot" Came a voice from his hallway. He spun around and Whitey stood in his doorway.
"Coach, what are you doing here?" He said nervously
"I came to talk to you about your future but you seem a little distracted."
"I'm going to study at Brooke's."
"Well it's nice to hear about you caring about your grades but wait aren't you and Ms. Davis a couple?" Whitey frowned at Nathan as he lowered his head.
"Yeah but it's not like that. We're actually going to study. Anyway what about my future?"
"Ah Nathan, take a seat," Nathan pulled out his desk chair and sat while Whitey sat on his bed, "I'm sure you've heard of Oakwood Academy right?"
"Yeah it's the most prestigious basketball school around."
"Prestigious? Ms. David has had an affect on you. Well I got a call today from them. They want to know if you would like to transfer to their school. You've been awarded a scholarship Nathan. It's a great opportunity and I'd hate myself for not encouraging you to go because Nate this is your shot to get away from Dan and shine for yourself." Whitey stared at Nathan as he processed what he had told him.
"Oakwood Academy is in New York." Nathan finally said
"Yes it is."
"What about Brooke? And Lucas? I finally have a good relationship with my brother and I have this amazing girlfriend."
"Nathan who cares about them." Dan said finally walking into the room he was hiding outside of.
"Danny this is none of your business. Now shut up!" Whitey said to Dan
"This is my business old man. Nathan's future is my business. Nathan I don't care what you want. You are going to that school."
"God damn it Dad! You have no right to tell me what I am going to do. " Nathan said standing up and running out of his room.
"Dan look what you've done. You can't tell him what to do anymore he's a grown boy." Whitey said staring straight at Dan.
"As long as he is my son I'll tell him what to do and you can't do anything about that. Now get out of my house old man." Dan's eyes were seething with hatered for Whitey. How dare he tell his son what to do. Whitey sighed and pushed Dan out of the way and left.
