Chapter Two-
Nathan had swung by on his way to school to pick up his brother who was not willing to walk the distance the furthered him from the school. Over the course of time they had managaed to become close in some ways through basketball and really through acting like actual brothers. Getting in the car gleefully Lucas was far from tired or exhausted from yesterdays practice with Whitey.
"Your smiling. I guess your high on something" Nathan said as he began to drive
"I don't know why but I just woke up with a smile on my face" Lucas said
"Well, White will whipe it off for you at practice today" Nathan laughed
"So how did it go with Haley" Lucas asked
"Well I have one class with her and that would be history but otherwise we're doing good" Nathan said
"Good as in actually talking to each other" Lucas asked
"Yeah, I just wanna be apart of her life someway somehow whether or not we are boyfriend and girlfriend" Nathan said
"Explain to me how you plan on doing that" Lucas asked
"Its going to be weird but I know we can work this out" Nathan said
"Yeah, you'll work it out all right" Lucas said
"Whatever. Haley and I will prove you wrong by becoming friends" Nathan smirked.
Haley walked slowly into her English class geared up to spend another boring day reviewing stuff she all ready knew and taught. As soon as she grabbed her seat a boy whom she was quite familiar with sat next to her before class had began.
"Its always better to set up your napping area" the boy said
"Yeah, I guess so" Haley said
"My name is Joey" Joey said
"My name is..." Haley said before he cut her off
"Haley James. I know you. You use to date Nathan Scott" Joey said
"That would be me" Haley said
"So you should be thrilled" Joey said
"Why should I be thrilled" Haley asked
"Cheerleading tryouts are today after school" Joey said "I bet you're a shoe in seeing as you hang out with some of them" he said
"I'm not a cheerleader" Haley said
"You were in the tournament two years ago" Joey said
"That was two years ago" Haley said
"You were pretty good. I mean you have skills" Joey said
"I didn't know cheerleaders had to have much of skills to just cheer" Haley said
"I wouldn't really know seeing as your girl, I guy." Joey said as he made her laugh
"Its not for me" Haley said
"Well tryout and then decide if its not for you" Joey said
"I'll think about it" Haley said
"I was dreading being in this English class but now that you're here I might sleep less in here" Joey said before he put his head down
Dan arrived shortly at Karen's Café to discuss matters with Karen that she said was urgent that they speak about. Not eager to be yelled at by his ex- girlfriend Dan slowly walked through the door to see her helping a customer then locked eyes on him.
"Your late, but you always are" Karen said
"I showed up didn't I" Dan said
"If your going to be a bastard then we might as well not talk" Karen said
"You're the one who wanted to talk. I have clients you know" Dan said
"Oh, really people buying a car aren't really clients" Karen said
"Just get on with it" Dan said as the bickering became noticeable
"I have to talk to you about Lucas" Karen said
"Oh, for crying out loud Karen. I am involved in the boys life, give me some credit" Dan pleaded
"I need you to take care of Lucas" Karen said
"Why whats wrong" Dan asked
"Nothing is wrong its just I will be leaving temporarily" Karen said
"Where" Dan asked
"Out to Minnesota, I'm working with Deb on setting up a chain of cafes" Karen said
"So by take care of him what do you mean" Dan asked
"I want him to live with you for awhile" Karen said
"If Nathan won't live with me what makes you think Luke will" Dan asked
"Because he wants to get to know you better than being just a bastard" Karen said
"Well I have no problem with it" Dan said "Good, luck on convincing Lucas" he said
"It will be no problem" Karen said
