Chapter 15.
The boys headed to practice at 6:00 a.m. The coach had given the team the night off but had demanded that they have a morning practice instead. The practice was enough to kill them, between laps and drills they were exhausted. After showering they headed to class just as the bell rang.
The day seemed to fly by. They had a team meeting during lunch so they didn't really get a chance to talk to the girls. Lucas left a note in Haley's locker telling her that they were all still on for tonight that the guys would be busy after school that they would see them at 6:00.
"Well guys is it me or are they avoiding us."
"I saw Tim earlier and he said the coach nearly killed them all at practice he looked so tired. I don't know about you two but I am thrilled about the game on Saturday."
"Hales I wish that you were on the squad with us."
"Hey I cheer just not quite as peppy as the rest of you. We will meet up after the game I am sure of it. So I hope we win, I know that Luke has been dying to be able to play again."
"Well ladies let's head to Haley's until it is time to start getting ready."
Immediately after school the guys headed to Nathan's car. They had to go to the grocery store and the movie store before they could start cooking dinner. They walked down each aishle of the grocery store and they settled on Steak, baked potatoes, salad, and rolls. Then for desert brownies and ice cream sundaes. They then headed to the movie store and picked out Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, and Out of Time.
Once they had arrived home they put the potatoes in the oven and
started to prepare the
salad. Nathan had been in charge of cleaning the potatoes, Luke was
in charge of the brownies, and Jake was in charge of setting the table. Then they each showered and got ready. While Luke and Jake got ready Nathan ran home and grabbed the keys to his mom's Escalade so they could all ride in the same vehicle. Once Nathan was ready, he stopped to pick the girls up so the guys could start the steaks and put the rolls in the oven. The plan was to have the meal ready by the time he arrived with the girls.
Meanwhile at Haley's
"Guys are you sure that they weren't kidding when they said casual."
"I am telling you Brooke, Jake said casual. But just to be safe I am bringing the jacket and pants that we bought to match in case it gets cold. Besides I will Jake if we are under dressed."
"It will be okay guys I promise besides you are gorgeous in anything." The girls turned their heads to a smirking Nathan.
"Well I see you went ahead and let yourself in."
"I knocked and when you didn't answer I figured you couldn't hear me over the music. So you ladies are dressed perfectly. Now let's get going the guys are waiting back at the house."
"See Brooke, he is dressed casual we are alright."
"Like I said ladies you look perfect, I promise. But please tell me that you didn't go buy outfits for this date. We said casual so you wouldn't have to worry about all that."
Peyton just laughed, "Well when your friends with Brooke casual is harder to dress for then formal."
Brooke just blushed and smacked Peyton, "Hey I can't help it that I want to look nice."
"Well you look great in anything Brooke. Trust me."
Once they pulled outside the Café they all piled out and headed to the entrance. "You guys go on up to Luke's room and we will come get you when we are ready."
Nathan headed into the Café to help finish up the dinner. "So guys what do you need me to do. The girls are in Luke's room and I am here to help hurry this along."
