Chapter 26: Reflections
Haley tossed herself onto her bed and sighed deeply in annoyance, here she was at a new school and she was "the nerd" again. While "Miss Popular" Brooke was already the new love of the "in-crowd" just for once Haley would like a little attention.
Looking down at her homework assignments, she sighed in knowledge that she'd better get going on her stuff if she wanted to make the honor roll. Miss goody two shoes that I am.
Settling at her desk, she started her assignments.
Nathan ran down the street, listening to his music, barely missing a beat, he almost tripped over a rock which he hadn't seen. Turning off his music, he listened to his feet as they tapped along on the pavement.Today at school had been interesting, especially with that teacher, staring at him so oddly. It was too bad the school didn't have a basketball team but that was going to be fixed. Tomorrow he and Lucas were going to talk to the principal to see about setting up a temporary team.
Lucas eased back onto his bed and pondered over the first day of school, it been just like Tree Hill High, they had cliques too.He seemed to fit in wherever, no one really talked to him and yet no one seemed to pick on him, so he would take it as a good thing and roll with it.
Brooke got out of her car and flounced over to the front door which as usual was locked. Reaching into her purse she searched for her key and came up empty handed.
Cursing softly, she walked around the side of the house and saw a half-open window. Putting her bag on the grass, she eased her way through the window and fell in a graceless heap on the floor.
Sighing in relief, she ran outside to retrieve her bag and walked smack into a man. She fell backwards onto the grass.
Looking up with her "best pissed off" look on her face, she was stunned into silence.
"Nick?" she looked at him hard for a second and then just sat there in silence.
More soon. Who could Nick be?
