Chapter Three-

Haley walked excitedly down the halls as she received the best news ever about her cheerleading status. That was that she was one, it seemed weird to be so happy for becoming a varisity cheerleader but she took Joeys advice and now she was one. A part of her became a cheerleader to get her to want to do things now.

"Hey" Lucas said as he surprised her from behind

"Luke. I have some good news" Haley said happily

"What. Make it quick because I have to go to go talk with my mom" Lucas said

"About" Haley said easily being distracted

"I have no clue but she sounded very serious on the phone" Lucas said

"Well, I'll just call you later tonight and tell you" Haley said as her best friend smiled

"Are you sure" Lucas asked

"Get out of here" Haley said as Lucas did as told. Walking up after Lucas left, Nathan grabbed her attention by the smell of his scent that use to drive her wild when they were dating

"Hey Haley" Nathan said

"Nathan Scott. I could smell you from a mile away" Haley laughed

"Really, maybe I should cool it on the cologne. So what are you up to" Nathan asked

"Nothing, really. I was gonna leave in a bit" Haley said

"Leave. Oh, no tutoring this year or something" Nathan asked

"No, I have a day off today" Haley said

"So you do get days off" Nathan said

"Yeah. I have something to tell you" Haley said

"To tell me. Well, go ahead then" Nathan said

"You know how when we went to the classics about two years ago I filled in for Teresa. Well, I'm a permanent Varsity cheerleader now" Haley said

"Haley James, a cheerleader" Nathan said

"What, is that a bad thing" Haley asked

"Lets me know that the basketball team thought you jumper sucked" Nathan joked as she playfully hit him

"Like I would ever try out for the basketball team" Haley said

"Yeah, well I think you will be good. I mean you look good in a skirt" Nathan said

"Why, thank you. Look its getting late, I will see you tomorrow" Haley said before she took off.

Nathan was happy that Haley could feel like she could tell him stuff that happened to her. But before she even knew, Nathan had known she made the team because he had been keeping dibs on her. Apart of him felt like he had to protect her but then another part of him felt like a kid around her still. Walking to his convertible car out of nowhere came his rival since grade school, Joey Young. They always tried to out do each other in sports since they wore a jersey. Joey played soccer and was carrying his teams to championship while Nathan longed to take his team to a championship.

"Scott" Joey said

"What do you want Young" Nathan said

"I see daddy bought you another toy" Joey said

"Well its only what your dad makes in a year, right" Nathan smirked

"Funny. So planning on blowing it at the finals like usual" Joey said

"At least when I blow it I pull in the crowds win or lose" Nathan said

"Oh, don't worry about the crowds. Things will change this year" Joey said

"Whatever, go get a damn soccer ball and dribble it up your ass" Nathan said

"Dribble up my ass, catchy" Joey said getting his goat

"Screw off" Nathan said before he got in his car and took off in the sunset like he had done many times before in his mustang.
