"Did she say Alexa?" Peyton asked Lucas when Haley and her friend left. Karen let Haley off early so that she could visit with her new friend.

Lucas looked at Peyton quizzically before responding, "Yea why?"

Peyton shook her head unbelievably, "Babe, I can't tell you but mark my words, shit's about to hit the fan."

"Can we please talk?" She said rushing inside the house, not waiting for his answer. He closed the door behind her, and looked over at the dark haired girl, He looked from her tick eye make up, down to her outfit, and landed on her stomach. She was five months along and just starting to show. The past five months she had been able to hide it with baggier cloths, but not now. He watched as she sat on the couch and patted the cushion next to hers. He had done everything she has wanted him to because he didn't want her to do something dumb, especially concerning his child.

He said, "What's up?"

She placed a hand in his lap, and looked at him concerned, "I'm beginning to show."

"You look amazing," He ensured her.

She giggled and then stopped, "But I don't think the rest of the school is gonna think like you." She lowed her eyes, "I'm moving to Savannah with my aunt and uncle." She saw the urgency in his eyes, "Just until the baby is born, it's due on April 1st." She told him.

"So then what?" He asked as he reached to hold her hand, he wanted to be there for every moment, but he wasn't going to leave school.

"I've been speaking with my counselor and he said that I can be given all of my work while I'm away, and I can submit it when I come back in May, before graduation. SO I can walk with my class."

"Why can't you just stay here, it's not like we can hide her once she is born?" He asked confused.

She placed her free hand on his cheek and stroked it gently, "I don't want people to see me as a fat cow, I want them to only know me as the hot cheerleader."

He let out a slow breath; he was beginning to lose his patience, "I want to be a part of this."

"But you're not the one who has to deal with the looks from everyone…ugh…the pity and the shocked looks. I can't handle it."

"But you're going to have to in Savannah."

"But I don't know those people. Look I've already made the decision." She told him standing, "I'm leaving on Tuesday." She walked to his door, with him hot on her heels.

"Are you at least going to let me come and visit and be there for the birth?"

She spun around holding onto the handle, "Jake, of course I'll call you and I want you there with me, but I have to do this." She stood on her tippy toes and lightly kissed Jake's lips, as he was about to protest again. With that she walked away.

"Wow, are all the guys you hang out with as hot as the two I've met?" Alexa asked as they got into Haley's car.

"Yea pretty much." Haley responded laughing, "Actually they are brothers."

"Oh so that explains it." Alexa said nodding, "Yum," this made Haley laugh even harder, "What? You get Nathan, and I'll take that hot blonde in there." Alexa raised her eyebrows suggestively.

"Both Scott boys have girlfriends."

Alexa smirked towards Haley, "That's never stopped me before, and last I checked it didn't stop you when I met you."

"Please, lets not go there. So how long are you here?"

"Well I transferred from London, so at least till the summer, but I'll probably stick around until I graduate." She told Haley, "I always wanted an excuse to come to school here, and when I met you I thought why not. So I badgered them about an exchange program."

"So what is this program? We've never had an exchange student."

"I know," Alexa said raising her eyebrows, "I did research and found out that Tree Hill started an exchange program back in like the 60's and the last time they actually had someone come was like 1984. So I made a call and I've been working on it since you left Greece. It wasn't that hard."

"I'm so glad you're here." Haley said as she pulled into the driveway.

"I'm so happy that I can hang out here with you and it won't feel weird if I see Haley," Brooke said stroking Nathan's chest. She had her head rested in the nook of his with her legs intertwined with his.

"Mmmm," was all he could muster, he tangled his fingers in her hair, and his eyes were locked on the TV. She let out a long breath; he felt the heat on his neck.

"So what do you want to do?" She asked sort of suggestively, they hadn't had sex since they began dating again; he said he wanted to take things slow, his excuse not to think of Haley. When he kissed her he pictured Haley, so he knew if they had sex he would as well, and he wasn't willing to do that to either girl. He just hopped that sooner or later he would stop thinking of her.

He kissed the top of her head hoping to buy a few minuets, "I think my family should eat dinner together, we should hang out tomorrow."

Brooke raised her head and looked at him questioningly, "Seriously?"

"Yea, I mean I just got back here. Ya know?"

Her face fell disappointed, "Are we still on for next weekend?"

"Of course," He smiled sadly, it was their club's annual party, and he wanted to do nothing but skip it and stay at home. He threw his legs over the side of his bed, forcing both of them to stand up. Brooke grabbed her purse and Nathan's hand.

"Walk me out," She told him in a seductive voice, but she didn't move, so he took the lead. He knew that she would stay there and try to seduce him, and the last thing he wanted to do was to stand there and fight her off. As he started down the steps the front door swung open and Haley stepped threw carrying several suitcases. His mouth fell open when he saw the girl following her; it was none other than Alexa. They reached the bottom of the steps.

"Nathan!" Haley said shocked, "Your home." He nodded, and Brooke stood back putting on her coat as she watched the tall beauty pull her boyfriend into a hug.

"Yea, my mom kind of threatened me." He responded once she pulled away. He shook his head unbelievably, "What are you doing here?" He tried to make it sound as friendly as possible.

Alexa grinned, "I'm the new Tree Hill exchange student."

"Hey Brooke," Haley said acknowledging Brooke, who stepped up and wrapped one arm around Nathan.

"Hi, I was just leaving so you guys could have a family dinner." She kissed her boyfriend's cheek, and turned to this new girl, "I'm Brooke Davis, Nathan's girlfriend." She stuck her hand out to shake the girl standing before her.

Alexa reached her hand out, grinning brightly, "I'm Alexa, I met them…"

Before she could finish, a fist hit her nose. She gasped in shock and looked over at Brooke who was scowling at the girl, "YOU WHORE!!"
