Chapter Six-

Nathan had went the whole day trying to avoid Haley and possibly having to look her dead square in the face. Sharing the same class made it even harder because they usually talk in that class and when Nathan didn't return the note she wrote him she knew something was up.

"Nathan" Haley called out running after him

"Not now, Hales" Nathan said trying to walk away from him but was stopped when she grabbed ahold of him

"Whats up with you. Are you mad at me" Haley asked

"No, just let it go" Nathan said

"So are you going to tell me whats going on with you" Haley said

"No, I don't plan to" Nathan said walking over to his locker and putting away books

"Being a jerk today" Haley said

"You're the one to talk, when you..." Nathan said before he stopped himself

"When I did what" Haley asked

"You know what you did" Nathan said

"No I seriously don't know and if I did I wouldn't be arguing with you right now" Haley said

"Joey, does that ring a bell" Nathan said

"This is about Joey" Haley laughed

"Its not funny" Nathan said

"Yeah, it really is because that's the dumbest reason to be mad at me. By the way what did I do" Haley said

"Are you two like dating now" Nathan asked

"That's none of your business" Haley said

"Well then why are we doing this then" Nathan said

"Last time I checked we weren't dating" Haley said

"We aren't but of all people you choose to date, it had to be Joey" Nathan said

"What is wrong with Joey" Haley asked

"He is the most dumbest person, I have ever known" Nathan said

"Funny, a lot of people said the same about you when I started dating you" Haley said

"Oh, I am completely different" Nathan said

"You both play sports, whats the difference between you" Haley said

"I don't like the guy, I never have. He is my biggest rival within this school" Nathan said

"Well get over it, I'm not one of your ex's you just boss around so don't even try it" Haley said before she walked away.

"Boy, she sure sounded mad at you" Joey said as he walked up to Nathan

"What the hell do you want" Nathan asked

"I came here to ask you something" Joey said

"I don't want to talk to you" Nathan said

"Well your going to listen to me no matter what. I think this is pretty decent for me to do this so just listen" Joey said

"What is it that you possibly have to ask me" Nathan asked

"I wanted to let you know that I have a thing for your ex" Joey said

"Which one" Nathan asked

"Who do you think" Joey said

"Haley. You have a thing for Haley" Nathan said

"Is that so hard to believe" Joey said

"I really don't care. Date her. Sleep with her, I don't care about her anymore" Nathan said before he walked away.

Peyton had dragged Jake to one of those dinner meetings with her dad that they usually had when he was in town. Peyton was eager to show her dad the guy she talked so much about whenever he called her.

"Peyton and Jake, right" Peytons dad asked

"Hello Mr.Sawyer" Jake greeted him

"So this is the Jake Jalegeski I have been hearing so much about" Peytons dad asked

"Yes, dad. This is him" Peyton said as they all sat down

"Do you go to Tree Hill" Her dad asked

"Yes. I do" Jake said

"He plays for the basketball team" Peyton added

"Like Nathan" Her dad asked

"Yes, like Nathan" Peyton said

"I play a forward and a small guard" Jake said

"That's interesting" Her dad said

"Oh, excuse me. I have to call home and check on Jenny" Jake said before he excused himself

"Jenny" Her dad asked

"His daughter" Peyton said

"He has a daughter" Her dad asked

"Yeah, I told you" Peyton said

"I think it slipped my mind" Her dad said
