Chapter Four-

Nathan and Lucas stood in the room that was once Nathan in the past life when he was pleading to leave out from under his dads clutches. Nathan had decided to help his brother settle into his old room knowing that adjusting for him might take sometime.

"I have no clue why I agreed to do this" Lucas said as he realized where he was

"Hey, this room has a lot of memories" Nathan said

"None that I care to hear about. I bet you probably pinned my best friend over there" Lucas said

"Oh, no. We never had sex in my room. If You were to move into my room at the apartment then that's where you would feel uncomfortable" Nathan said

"Figures" Lucas said

"Hey, chicks love the freedom" Nathan joked

"I'm sure Haley thought you were just so fine in your apartment" Lucas said

"Would you stop being so mean and help me carry this big ass box in here" Nathan said grabbing ahold of one side of the box

"Are you going to give me the info" Lucas asked as they moved the boxes

"About what" Nathan said as they put the box down

"Dan" Lucas asked

"You know all you need to know" Nathan said

"No, really. Anything bad or something" Lucas said

"I think I will let you see that for yourself" Nathan said "Have you talked to Haley" he asked

"Yeah, I heard the news. She starts practice today" Lucas said

"How great is that. A cheerleader" Nathan smiled

"I never really figured her to be a cheerleader" Lucas said

"Yeah, well I never figured you to be a basketball player but things change" Nathan said

"You just want to see her in the uniform" Lucas said

"I did use to date her you know, I still think she is pretty hot" Nathan said

"Sure you do. But other girl who I don't need to mention haven't caught your eye" Lucas asked

"Who" Nathan asked

"Does a certain other cheerleader ring a bell" Lucas said

"Who Amanda" Nathan asked

"Yeah, she's had the hots for you for about a year now and I think she will soon make her move on you" Lucas said

"I'm not looking for a girl these days" Nathan said

"So you are gay" Lucas joked

"No, I am straight for your information" Nathan said

"Well, worrying about Haley won't get you over her" Lucas said

"I know. I will date when I am ready to and right now I just don't want a girlfriend" Nathan said

"Be that way" Lucas said

"I thought Jake was suppose to be helping out" Nathan asked

"He's probably with Peyton" Lucas said

"Those two have been spending some time together" Nathan said

"No, not like that though" Lucas laughed

"Why not" Nathan asked

"They are friends" Lucas said

"Things change. Look I have to get going, I will see you later" Nathan said before he left.

Nathan had stopped off at the grocery store to catch up on some shopping before he would run low on food supplies. Pushing the cart through the aisle he soon bumped into Haley who looked as if she came from practice.

"Hey" Haley smiled

"Hales, what are you doing here" Nathan asked shy

"It's a public place. People tend to be there some time" Haley said

"Sorry. Coming from practice" Nathan asked

"Yeah, I am picking up some things before I head over to Brookes" Haley said

"Brooke and you. Peyton has really done a number on you" Nathan laughed

"I guess so. But she is really cool" Haley said "Shopping" she asked

"Yeah, I'm trying to find my cereal" Nathan said

"Captain Crunch. That's the cereal I use to get you" Haley said

"Captain. I think so. I'm glad you remember" Nathan smiled

"Yeah, well someone had to do the shopping the relationship" Haley said

"I'm glad you did it because I am all ready confused as to what not to buy or to buy" Nathan said as she saw the large quantities of food

"I think I have some time to spare, come Scott lets go shopping" Haley said pulling the cart behind her.

Peyton looked through the cabinets searching for something that she and Jake had been arguing about for quite sometime. Jake looked in the drawers to see if he could find what they were looking for.

"I know they made it" Peyton said

"I know they did but that was a long time ago" Jake said

"They still make the Mr.Crunchy candy bar" Peyton said

"That was like when we were kids" Jake said

"Are your parents home" Peyton asked

"Yeah, they're with Jenny" Jake said

"We're going hunting" Peyton said

"For a candy bar" Jake asked

"Yes, so I can prove to you that it is alive or made" Peyton said

"Where do we go" Jake asked

"Where else. Raleigh. Road trip" Peyton said as she dragged her friend behind her

"All for a candy bar" Jake smiled as he followed her
