When Lucas walked outside and could see the bus he saw Dan scolding Nathan. He was poking him with his finger and making Nathan have to take a step back. Lucas walked past them and almost got to the bus when Peyton took his arm and pulled him aside.

"I looked for you after the game. You weren't there." He said standing in front of her. She hadn't let go of his arm.

"Oh. Sorry bout' that. I wanted to say good game before you got on the bus. I'm riding back with Brook." She put all her weight on one foot and gave him a pleading look.

"Okay." He said putting a hand around her waist pulling her closer.

"Oh wait. You wanna come over tonite?" Peyton asked before he kissed her. Lucas groaned and Peyton knew it had to do with Haley. She hadn't seen her at the game.

"I promised Haley I'd help her lock up." Lucas said and kissed Peyton. She pulled away and turned around heading towards Brooks car.

"Make Peyton mad?" Nathan asked grinning up at Lucas. Lucas took his seat by Nathan and took out his headphones. He had learned long ago to just ignore questions he didn't feel like answering, ecspecially from his half bother Nathan.

Lucas got in his truck after getting to the school. It was dark out but he knew Haley would still be at the diner waiting for him. He drove over as fast as he could and ran inside. Haley was behind the counter making a customer a coffe to go. It was the only customer in there. She looked up at him as he walked in and her face lit up. The customer, who looked about 25 turned around and left with his coffe in his hand.

"Who was that?" Lucas asked walking behind the counter. Haleys brown hair was shinning under a light abover her and for the first time Lucas noticed how beautiful she was. Haley pushed her hair behind her ears and smiled.

"Some new guy. He was saying how he had some kids going to Tree Hill High School but I didn't listen that much. Lucas laughed. "Now you're here, you can help." Haley said then threw a damp rag at him to wipe the counters with. He did as he was told. "How was the game?" Haley asked standing beside him, thier shoulders brushed against each other.

"Won. That's about it." He said not wanting to move away from her. "Nathan was a complete--"

Haley stopped him by clearing her throat. She looked at him and smiled, knowing how he felt about Nathan, but she also couldn't help herself from having feelings for the tall, brown haired boy.

"Well, I'm done here, let's go." Haley said and they walked to the front. Haley locked the door and they both stepped outside. "How's Peyton?" Haley asked as they walked side by side down the sidewalk. Lucas rubbed the back of his neck looking up at the sky.

"Fine. She acted a little wierd but then she was back to normal. She went somewhere after our game." Lucas said enjoying the way her arm was pressed up against his.

"O...k.." Haley said in her dry, sarcastic way. She punched him in the shoulder and stopped in front of her house. "I'll see you tommorow." Haley said looking up at the taller Lucas. Haley liked how Lucas was being a little closer to her tonite. She was feeling a bit jealous of his attention towards Peyton but tonite he was all hers.

"Yeah. See ya'." Lucas turned to walk back towards his car. Haley smiled and walked into her house.
