Chapter One – Girls, Girls, Girls

My name is Nathan Scott, and well I'm not your average teenage boy of some sort. I live in Tree Hill and attend Tree Hill high school alongside my step brother Lucas. Over the course of time we have managed to become good friends through the help of his best friend slash my ex girlfriend and my ex wife. Who was the girl that held so many titles in my life well she was Haley James. Til this day I will never know what she saw in me but I guess it was something. When we got divorced and agreed to be friends things were absolutely great after that. I mean I had my moments when I would go through a Haley moment but I have totally moved on and so has she. Well she broke up with her boyfriend about a week ago and she had the whole crying fest but it was the next guy that she would get involved with that would lead me to this point. What point your wondering, well the point where I had to really step up and make some big decisions about my life. So this is my story and my life, beware it make suck at times but what teenager do you know that has a perfect life.

I had walked down the very familiar halls to find Tim Smith talking to Haley. Boy was this a funny sight, I mean Tim and Haley talking, come on it was bound to end with Tim getting rejected. Just before I could blink again I saw Haley extend her arm and give Tim her number. The number in which I had first on speed dial on my cell phone. Once Tim caught a glance of me in his sight he walked over to tell me the great news of his latest rebound girl.

"Hey Nathan" Tim said

"What was that about" I asked calmly

"I have a date with Haley on Friday" Tim said proudly

"Still going after my left overs" I said with much poise

"If you say so" Tim said "This doesn't bother you, does it" he asked

"Why should it bother me" I said not really caring with his genuine offer of caring.

"I know she is your ex of everything and all" Tim said trying to amuse me

"Haley is not mine anymore. In fact she just broke up with her boyfriend last week so that didn't bother me when she was with him. Why are you any different" I responded

"Because I'm your best friend" Tim said

"Don't be so sure of that" I replied grabbing the upper hand in the conversation. Walking away knowing that he would trail me to the ends of the earth, Tim kept with the same subject

"All right I'm not your best friend but I am your friend who likes Haley James" Tim said

"Do you hear me arguing with the idea of you guys going out" I said

"No I don't" Tim realized

"Then go out, have fun with Haley. Treat her right" I said

"Your really cool with this" Tim asked again

"If you're a jackass to her then I won't be. Don't forget we are still close" I reminded him

"We are" Tim said happily

"No. Haley and me. So you screw her over and I'll screw your ass in the ground" I threatened him before I made my way to class. On my way I saw Brooke and Jake in an argument that seemed to be a couples quarrel. But I was not interested because I was dodging a certain girl who I hadn't called back.

"You were checking out another girl" Brooke exclaimed

"For a second. Its not like I was flirting with her" Jake replied

"We were out on a date and you do this. You could at least do that while I'm not around" Brooke said as she opened her locker forcefully

"You can't seriously be mad at me for that" Jake asked

"Were you not just listening to me" Brooke yelled

"Like your any better" Jake said

"What the hell is that suppose to mean" Brooke asked

"Nothing" Jake responded not eager to start up another argument

"Look I would kiss you before I go off to class but then again you might think I was someone else" Brooke said before she stormed off to class

"What was that all about" Peyton asked

"Where did you come from" Jake asked

"I saw fighting thought of none other than you and Brooke. Made my way over here when she made her last and final statement, so here I am" Peyton said

"Brooke is mad that I was looking" Jake said

"Looking where" Peyton asked

"Looking at another girl. It was more like a glance now that I think of it" Jake said

"You are going to be doing some major graveling" Peyton said

"Tell me about it. Where is Lucas" Jake asked

"He is sick" Peyton said

"To much tongue action got him sick" Jake joked

"Nasty. No wonder Brooke is mad" Peyton said

"Well shall we be on our way" Jake asked

"I think we shall" Peyton agreed to Jake's advance of walking to class.
