OMG if you missed the MTV Bash then you missed Chad and Sophia kiss!! If you want to see the kiss I found a site who has it up and when I update my OTH site later go check it out!! Too bad James and Joy wasn't there. Well, I would like to thank all who reviewed:[b] Angiee[/b]( I know I hate writing this about them but it's the only way I can write) [b]Adicted2Naley[/b](You can throw you 2 cents in anytime and plus you gave me a little idea for chapter 9) and finally [b]Charli[/b](Thanks again). This chapter took me longer than I expected. I knew what I wanted to write but I couldn't form into words. So, you must be warned this has some Dan and Nathan interaction as well as others. Happy New Year and enjoy!!!

[b]~Chapter 7~[/b]

Everyone was scattering to 7th period lunch. Nathan on the other hand was not. Nathan was in his car driving home as quickly as possible so he could get back to school on time for his next class. Ten minutes later Nathan arrived at his house. He quickly opened the door and ran up the stairs to his room. As, Nathan was running up the stairs he didn't see his father Dan Scott sitting down in the living room, but Dan saw him.

As, Nathan was running up the stairs he thought he saw something but he shook it off. He entered his room and started to look quickly for his things for basketball practice. It took him a good five minutes to find his things. He looked down at his watch seeing that lunch would be over in 25 minutes. He wouldn't have time to get lunch when he got back to school so he decided to whip him up a sandwich before he left.

Nathan stood at the island of the kitchen and was making him a sandwich. As, Nathan was putting everything back in it's place. When he was done he got a sandwich baggie and but his sandwich in it. As, he was about to walk out the kitchen he bumped into none other than Dan Scott.

"What the hell are you doing her?" Nathan said with anger. Dan just smirked at Nathan.

"Well, son I live here." Dan said as if it was so obvious

"Don't call me your son and I thought mom kicked you out Dan." Nathan said

"Well it looks like you got stronger." Dan said with a hit of laughter

"Like I said Dan what the hell are you doing her?" Nathan said with even more anger than before.

"Well, I came to see you." Dan said

"What do you want from me?" Nathan asked

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Dan stated

"Well, I'm doing fine since you're gone, now leave." Nathan said

Dan didn't make an attempt to leave at all. He just smiled and walked around the island and opened the refrigerator. He pulled out a beer and then spoke to Nathan.

"So, how is Haley doing." Dan said

"Wow, I'm surprised you got her name right and anyway it's none of your damn business." Nathan told Dan

"Come on Nathan I'm trying to be kind here." Dan said

"Well if you must know Haley just fine." Nathan said while glaring at his him.

"That's good to hear." Dan said

"Thanks, I think." Nathan said. There was a moment of silence and then Dan spoke up.

"Nathan she's not right for you." Dan said. As soon as those words left Dan's mouth Nathan got angry.

"Gosh, how did I know you would say something like this." Nathan said still angry

"No, Nathan I don't mean it like that." Dan said

"Then what the hell else can you mean?" Nathan asked

"Well, what I mean is that she's to good for you." Dan responded

"How the hell is she to good for me?" Nathan asked

"Well, I mean she's smart, she nice, and she's just too perfect." Dan said.

"So, what." Nathan said

"Don't you get it Nathan? Your nowhere near perfect or smart all you have is basketball. She's perfect and has a lot going for her and you don't. You only have one thing and like I said she has many." Dan stated.

"I don't need this s**t right now." Nathan said angrily and with that he walked out the door. But as he was slamming the door he couldn't help but think that Dan was right.

[b]~Meanwhile At School~[/b]

Haley, Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, Jake, Tim, and Theresa were sitting at their usual table chatting away and eating. Then suddenly Tim asked a question.

"Hey where's Nate? Tim asked

"Yeah, where is my little bro?" Lucas also asked

"Oh, I forgot to tell you guys he went home to get his things for practice and said that he'll be back a little before 8th period." Haley said answering their question.

"Ok" everyone said. They all went back to having their little conversations. While Brooke, Peyton, Theresa, and Haley were talking Haley was wonder what Peyton had to tell them. So then she just asked.

"Hey, Peyton what was it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Haley asked

"Yeah what did you want to talk to us about?" Brooke also asked

"Yeah what they said." Theresa said with a little chuckle.

"Ok, what I'm want to tell you have to promise you won't tell a soul." Peyton said whispering so the guys wouldn't hear them.

"Promise." Theresa, Haley, and Brooke said

"Ok well I...." Peyton said.
