Chapter Three

Haley arrived at the party around ten with Peyton and Brooke.

"Do you think the guys are here yet?" Peyton asked.

"More important, do you think the freshmen showed?" Haley asked.

"Well there over there," Brooke pointed to were the freshmen were talking to Teresa.

"At least Regina's not all over Nathan," Peyton suggested.

"Who's not all over me?" Nathan asked as he joined them.

"Regina," Haley said coldly.

"Why would I want her?" Nathan asked, "Not even old Nathan would have wanted her."

"Promise?" Haley asked.

"For the millionth time yes," Nathan assured.

"I'm going to go find Lucas," Brooke announced.

Brooke wandered off and found Lucas in the kitchen talking to one of Regina's followers, Gina.

"Hey Lucas," Brooke said putting an arm around his shoulder.

"Hey Brooke. I was just talking to Gina about this book I'm reading," Lucas said.

"The DaVinci Code," Gina added, "Well I'll see you later."

"You getting worried I'm going to cheat on you with a freshmen too?" Lucas asked.

"Hell no. You know I'd kick your ass if you did," Brooke grinned.

"It was just educational talk," Lucas assured.

"I trust you."

Behind them Regina stood talking with Gina and Dana.

"Did you get Lucas's interest?" Regina asked Gina.

"Yeah. Reading the DaVinci code came in handy," Gina said.

"Dana?"

"I doubt we'll get Jake away from Peyton," Dana said.

"That's okay. We still have Nathan. I'll work my charm on him. I just have to find the right time."
