Chapter 6

The 'friendly' conversations and the unchanged Nathan Scott …

"Haley?" he asked astounded.

I looked at Nathan with intense eyes. Who would have known that my best friend's enemy would become the utmost companion of my brother?

"You guys know each other?" Steven asked bemused.

"Unfortunately, we have had a couple of encounters," I answered bitterly as I continued to stare at him.

"Oh…seems like my sis doesn't like you," Steven, asserted the evident.

"Since when did you have a sister?" Nathan stupidly questioned.

"Since about 17 years ago, almost 18," he told him. "We're twins," he informed him.

"Twins?" both Tim and Nathan asked in unison, baffled again.

"Yup," Steven replied.

"You guys are so different," Nathan added.

"Thanks for stating the obvious," I responded. "Steven I'm going to go inside to at least take care of the house and away from your new boyfriend," I told him as I began to enter the house.

"Why does my sis hate you so much?" I overheard Steven say.

"I don't know. Haley has always been snappy and bitchy towards me so I never really dealt or cared for her," he retorted.

I suddenly closed the door and both Steven and Nathan knew that I listened to the entire thing.

Part II

There is only one person who I needed to talk to at this very moment.

Peyton.

As I glanced around the crowded room I saw Peyton standing with Lucas and Brooke. I walked over to her side and got her attention.

"Uh, Peyton can I please talk to you for a second?" I told her rather than asked.

We walked a couple of feet away from Brooke and Lucas.

"Why didn't you tell me that Steven's new, 'good' friend is Nathan?" I questioned her infuriated.

"I thought you already knew," she answered.

"No I didn't," I replied, still exasperated. "I just met him outside when Steven introduced us. He said that he wanted me to meet his buddy that introduced him to basketball and little did I know that it was the one person I truly disliked," I informed her. "You know I don't like him," I added, defeated.

"Why? Seriously, I don't know why you hate him so much. You've never exchanged other then a couple of words with him," she responded.

"Are you saying that he's not bad of a person?" I asked her agitated of what she just said. "He picked on Lucas sophomore year for a long time till him and his posse noticed that Lucas wasn't going to quit the basketball team."

"Haley that happened a long time ago," she replied.

"It's been a little over a year; not that long ago. Besides, he used you Peyton. You guys went out and then he broke up with you for some other tramp, remember?" I continued still frustrated.

"Did you just call me a tramp?" she asked, astonished and incensed at the same time.

"No. You know what I mean. He used you just like he used the rest of the female population. He sleeps with them and then its over," I retorted.

"Haley you have to understand his situation sometimes," she said.

"What situation? The fact that he goes to parties every weekend, gets drunk, and sleeps with a different girl each night?" I asked her. "Please…"

"There's more than meets the eye---"Peyton claimed, before being abruptly interrupted by Steven.

"What's up my favorite cheerleader," he greeted her as he put his arm around her.

"I shouldn't have ever told you that," stated Peyton with a smile, forgetting of the conversation she was having with me moments ago.

"Come on…Varsity basketball player going out with the co-captain of the varsity cheerleading squad. I like the ring of that," he continued to flirt with her.

"This is so disgusting, seeing my brother and one of my friends flirt. I'm going to leave," I declared as I began to walk away.

"Come on Haley, stay for the fun," Steven responded.

"Fun? What the hell are you talking about," I asked, stopping and turned around.

Swiftly Nathan was by Steven's side with Tim and Jake.

"If this is what you consider fun, then you better think twice," I told him, referring to Nathan and his party.

I looked up and saw Nathan starring at me, intently. He was looking at me from my boots to my hat. I knew that my outfit was one that I've never worn to school before. Sure I've worn other hats, but I've never worn a blouse this nice to school. When I go to school, I either wear T-shirts or Polo's. I never wear a blouse that was pretty fitting. Plus, I've never worn boots.

While he looked at me, I gazed at him. He was wearing a pair of loose jeans with a Phila T-shirt under his letterman's jacket. The ensemble ended with a pair of Jordan's.

'Nice,' said a voice in my head.

"EWW…" I said aloud as I made a disgusted face.

Everyone soon looked at me with puzzled looks because of my abrupt comment and facial expression.

"Are you spazzing out?" asked Steven with a perplexed look.

"Funny brother," I retorted. "But no, just saw something," I quickly lied, not wanting to tell them the real reason.

"Saw something that caused you to freak out that much?" he questioned, not believing my response. "Sure…"

"Well I'm having loads of fun and all, but I think it's time for me to go," I sarcastically announced.

"Where are you going?" my brother asked suspiciously.

"Around," I answered. "Later," I finished as I walked away.

As I walked away I couldn't help but look around at the masses of people in my house. There were certain individuals who were dancing in the living room to Dip it Low by Christina Milian in a very provocative way.

"God I can't believe people actually do that in public," I said aloud. "Looks like they are having sex, but with their clothes on," I added to myself.

Or so I thought.

"You want to try that?" someone whispered in my ear.

I probably jumped back about 20 feet, amazed. I turn around and look at the person who just said that. To my astonishment, right in front of me stood none other than Nathan Scott.

"Yeah maybe if I was drunk off my ass and I didn't know of what I was doing," I answered back bitterly. "Nah, not even then," I added.

And there's the trademark smirk.

He just stood in front of me without saying anything and every second that passed, I grew even more agitated by him just staring at me with that smile. I rapidly turned around and retreated.

'What the f uck is going on with him…' I mumble to myself as I entered the kitchen. 'He must be on some kind of drug or something…'

I grabbed a red cup from the stack that was situated in the corner and walked over to the refrigerator. I pulled out some Sprite and served some into my cup. I walk over to the island and set the Sprite on it. I held my cup in my hands as I had one hand on the island.

'When the hell did my life turn into one of the classic teenagers or rather one of Nathan Scott? Now my life is going to revolve around partying and drinking,' I pondered to myself.

"Great," I responded out loud.

"Do you always talk to yourself?" asked someone from behind.

To my not so amazement Nathan was behind me.

"Are you following me or something?" I asked aggravated.

"Nah, I just decided that I was thirsty," he replied as he too grabbed a red cup and provided himself some Sprite.

"Not drinking tonight?" I asked, surprised.

"Later," I retorted as he took a sip of his beverage. "So you and Steven are twins huh?" he questioned me.

"Steven and I," I corrected him because of my years of tutoring, "and yes. Don't seem so stunned," I told him, beginning to smile.

"You guys are so different," he stated.

"Clearly," I vocalized.

"How come you never said anything about that?" he asked me.

"Nathan you and I both know that we don't talk or even hang out, so I don't know why you are acting like we are good friends. We never have conversations," I told him.

'Woops…'

Nathan's face hardened as he too knew that what I was saying was true.

"Well I at least tried for Steven's sake," he responded as he walked away. "I don't even know why I even tried…" I heard him utter before he left the room.

I stood for various minutes, contemplating if I should go over to him to apologize. I shouldn't have gone off at him like that, but all that I said was accurate. Finally my congeniality took over me and I decided that I should. I began to walk after him, but I was too late.

I watched from afar as Nathan used his Scott charm and flirted with a girl. I saw as Nathan grabbed the girls hand and led her upstairs, to one of the vacant bedrooms.

AN: Hey you guys!!! I know, you guys probably hate me right now…but trust me it is for the best for the future chapters. Just wait and see…
