Part One
"I come bearing refreshments," Nathan said cheerily, setting the two bottles of water upon the picnic table where he and Haley met for their tutoring sessions. She responded by rolling her eyes skyward. "What? You seemed to like the coffee I brought last time. Is water not good enough for Haley James?" He asked with a knowing smirk. With an air of hostility, she rose from her seat and proceeded to walk away from the table.
Watching her retreating form, Nathan felt an unfamiliar pang of helplessness. No one, save for his father, had ever dared walk away from him. He was Nathan Scott- wealthy, talented, athletic, and good looking. How was it that this tiny slip of a girl managed to stand up to him without fearing the consequences? Oh right..it was her unbounded loyalty to his bastard 'brother', Lucas.
"Haley!" He shouted, hoping to capture her attention. She turned around to look at him, her eyebrows raised in apparent impatience. "Wait.Don't go. I really need your help. Just.please." He added with a ping of emotion. He hoped that showing some vulnerability would elicit a response from the girl who called herself his enemy's best friend.
Letting out an agitated sigh, she walked back. "Scott," she said forcefully, her index finger pointed at his face. "I'm risking a lot by helping you. You've known that since day one. If this arrangement is going to stay intact, we're going to have to lay out some ground rules." He simply nodded, waiting for her to continue. "One, no more snide comments. I am doing a lot to save your ass, so I'd appreciate it if you would please treat me with some respect." She paused a moment, in an effort to recapture her breath. "Two, Lucas never, and I mean never, finds out about this. I know we went over this already, but I'm not sure it got through you thick head the first time around." He nodded slowly. He wasn't sure he'd be able to keep that promise. "And third.If you insist on brining me with beverages, at least bring something caffeinated. We do meet early in the morning."
And with that said, she retook her seat. "Okay." She said lamely, once she was settled. "What shall we review first, English or Pre-Calc?" Without a moment's hesitation, Nathan told her that he'd prefer discussing his latest English assignment. "I don't get this Picture of Dorian Gay crap." He said with a sneer. "It's so.uninspiring?"
For a few moments, Haley could only give him a hard stare. "Scott!" She said with disbelief. "The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of the best novels ever written. It contains elements of love, hate, scheming, self-worth. You can sure learn something from a book like that."
He gave her a tentative nod, and opened his book to the introductory section, which contained a mini-biography on the author. "I guess we should start off by talking about this Oscar Wilde dude. We're supposed to write a one page statement about his life and works."
Haley let out a soft chuckle. "Oh Nathan." She said, shaking her head. "You and I have a lot of work on our hands!"
