Summary: Haley has trouble over which brother to choose to stand by.


Lucas never would have imagined that he would have gone so far as to screw with his best friend.... No wait yes he did. That's what made him so mad he should have protected Haley from Nathan. Nathan was just messing with her head to get back at him for joining the team. Lucas kept his eyes firmly trained on Haley and Nathan. He watched as Haley turned around and stopped dead in her tracks, her smile had quickly disappeared when she saw that he was watching them.

"Shit" Haley whispered to herself as she saw him hurriedly walk away from her. Luckily she had first period math with him so she at least had time to explain herself. She quickly walked to her class and sat in the desk next to Lucas. "Lucas... can we talk... please" Haley begged him. "Just leave it alone Haley, I'm really not in the mood" Lucas's eyes didn't leave the book that he had pulled from his bag just minutes before. Haley sighed. "No..." Haley in one swift move snapped the book shut. "..Were gonna talk now...look I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Lucas laughed. "Huh so you're not sorry you done it in the first place...nice"

This was going to be harder than Haley first thought it would be. "Lucas I'm really really really sorry... but I'm tutoring him for you Lu..." Haley just realized her mistake as he looked at her in disgust. Lucas didn't know that Haley was Nathan's tutor, he was mad because he left her home that night. "WHAT?.... I can't believe what I'm hearing here" Haley looked around the room at all the other students stare at them. Lucas quickly got up from his seat and stomped straight out the classroom door knocking into someone. Brook walked into her math class. She looked around the room her eyes settling on the brunette in the corner. Brook noticed that Haley was at the verge of tears. "What d'I miss?" Haley got up from her seat and started to walk out the door when she met her teacher Mr. Ferry. "Going somewhere Miss James?" The tall man kind of scared her so she just turned on her heals and sat back in her seat.

Lucas was storming down the school corridor to the exit when he saw 'him' at his locker. Lucas marched over and slammed the locker shut nearly taking Nathan's nose right off. "What the hell are you doing man?" Nathan screamed as he jumped back. "Funny I was just about to ask you the same question" Lucas was getting angrier and angrier every second he had to look at him pull the innocent act. "Well I was going to take my French book out and then go to cla..."Nathan said sweetly before being cut off. "Haley I'm talking about Haley". "Well in that case I don't know what you're talking about." Nathan smirked, playing dumb. "You know full well what I'm talking about" Lucas spit out at him. "Give me a little hint" Nathan asked smiling. Lucas patience was wearing thin. "If you do anything to hurt her or if you screw with her head, trust me, you will regret it."

Nathan was now getting annoyed; he didn't like to get threatened. "God what's your problem" Nathan blurted out turning back to his locker. "You're my problem. You stay away from me and stay away from Haley" Nathan looked up at his 'brother', "No can do". Nathan started to walk away when he turned and faced his brother once again. "She's torturing me English next period" with that Nathan disappeared around the corner leaving Lucas on his own. A loud bang echoed through the halls of Tree Hill High as Lucas punched Nathan's locker leaving a dent.

"Mr. Scott, late again I see. Care to explain?" God Nathan really wasn't in the mood for this. He just wanted to get trough French then go see how Haley was because she must have had a fight with Lucas. No wait... he didn't care. His plan was working, Lucas had found out about the tutoring thing and soon enough he would quit the team and things would go back to normal. Was Haley in his 'normal', Nathan asked himself. Shit. Why did he care? 'I don't care. I don't.' Nathan told himself. "Mrs. Barrett I wouldn't want to upset our little tradition now would I?" Nathan smirked at his teacher earning himself a laugh from the rest of his class.

The bell signaled the end of first period. Haley got up and shoved her books into her bag as the annoyingly chipper cheerleader walked up to her. "Hey what's going on with you and Lucas?" Haley looked up at Brook and saw the look of concern on her face and knew she could tell her and it wouldn't be spread around the school. "Ahh, he's... he's just a little mad at me" Brook let out a small laugh. "That looked more than a little mad... you ok?" Haley smiled at her "Yeah ... but I got to go I'm late for tutoring." As Haley walked away Brook let out an 'ohhh' like she knew something or she wanted to say something. "What" Haley asked with her back still to Brook. "No nothing... it's just now I know you and Luke were fighting over Nathan. You're tutoring Nathan... right?" Haley didn't answer. "Look Nathan and me... were friends but he can be a grade A asshole if he wants to be so just be careful." With that Brook walked away from Haley giving her a smile and a small pat on the back. "It's 'Nathan and I'" Haley corrected Brook but she had already left. She let out a loud sigh as she walked to the tutoring centre. "This'll be fun" Haley said sarcastically as she pushed open the door to see Nathan sitting at one of the desks waiting for her.
