Chapter 3

Lucas smiled at his gorgeous girlfriend sauntered into his mom's café.

"Hey Broody!" She said before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey sweetie, so what's up?"

"Well, I need to talk to you about something." She said, putting her serious face on. Which only managed distract Lucas, who was thinking about just how cute she looked when she did that. So really it was her fault when he responded by leaning in for a kiss. A long one. One that made minds foggy and hearts beat rapidly.

Brooke reluctantly pulled away and sighed. Well they were never gonna get anything done like this.

She tried to look angry, but a smile crept through anyway. "No, Luke, this is important. We'll kind of."

"More important than making out? God it must be."

He's response was a swift whack around the head.

"Sorry" He said with a shy chuckle

"Anyhow, I was thinking. It's been a while sense we have done anything as a group-"

"Brooke we have never done anything as a group", He interrupted

"We'll then we should damn well start, because before we know it we'll graduate and never see each other again", she said with an agitated flair.

"Okay fine. Calm down there roadrunner, what were you planning?"

Brook looked tense" Planning? Planning who said anything about planning?" She looked around nervously.

Lucas frowned," Brooke are you okay, you're acting a little strange."

"Look I'm fine." She smiled." See. Look. Fine." She nodded. "Any way, my parents have this Beach house in Wilmington and I was thinking maybe we could all go there this weekend. Hang out. What do you think?" She said smiling.

Why was she suddenly so keen to spend so much time as a group? Ah who cared. He got to spend 48 hours with her right?

He sighed, "Do we have to bring Tim?"

He dribbled the ball up the path to the rivercourt. Nobody else was there yet. Good. This was just like he liked it. Tranquil.

"Oh for the love of God. What are you stalking me know?" He heard her familiar voice call out.

Okay not so Tranquil. She was sitting on the one of the tables. How had he managed to miss her? He usually had a 6th sense concerning Haley.

He chuckled. "Wow Hales, self obsessed much? Believe it or not your not the only thing in my life"

"Oh yeah, there's always Theresa." She said from her spot on the bench.

He stopped dribbling and turned around." Are you jealous?" Nathan smirked.

Haley looked serious." Yeah, you know what I am Nathan. I am so jealous. And I try not to but it's getting harder everyday. I just… "She sighs." How does she get her hair so shiny?

They both bust out laughing.

Haley smiled up at him." Had you going"

Nathan shocks his head." You have never said anything sincere to me in your life, of course I didn't believe you"

"Hey that's not true, I tell you I hate you all the time"

He cocked his head back," See that's not strictly true either"

"Hey!" They both turned to see Brooke and Luke standing behind them.

"You two weren't fighting again where you?" Lucas asked amusedly

"He started it!" He turned to see Haley pouting.

"Yeah, real mature" Nathan said rolling his eyes.

"Rich coming from you. You spend your whole time playing a game." Did she just dis basketball?

"Hey, at least I can-"

"Oh my god, will you two shut up, for like one second please!" Brook shrieked in a rather unladylike manner.

Haley looked down apologetically, "Um, sure"

"Thank you. Now what are you doing this weekend?"

Nathan pointed at him and Haley, which one of them was being addressed here?

"Both of you"

"Practising, training, trying to avoid Tim, why?"

"Dude, you lead a sad exist-" Luke never got to finish his sentence, the basketball flying towards his head, kind of distracted him.

"I'm working"

"Well not anymore, your going to Wilmington with us." Brooke said with a smile.

"Why?" Haley asked baffled by the suddenness of this decision.

"Because I'm telling you to, cutie" She said hopping over to her.

"Payton's coming too, I asked Jake but he's got to look after Jenny. And I'm still working on convincing Tim not to go, but I don't think it's working."

"What about the cafe?"

"Don't worry, I covered it with Karen, and she said it was cool. So, you have to go" Brooke told her.

" I Don't really have a choice do I, your just wording it like that so that it seems, like I have a choice and wont get crabby. But I hope you realise that I will anyway and it will all be your fault." Haley was rambling. It was kind of cute.

"So you in?" Brooke said, ignoring Hales' previous rant.

She sighed and looked down." Fine" She mumbled.

"Great!" Brooke beamed," Hey, Scott brother number two, you in?"

Why not? "Sure" He said smirking.

"What? Brooke you never said anything about that Neanderthal being there! I am not going! Brooke… oh my God, no way… I can't stand to be around him for 48 minutes let alone hours. No I wont go if he's going. No way! Did you plan this? Brooke! BROOKE!" Haley had turned a very interesting shade of red.

But unfortunately for her both Lucas and Brooke had walked off.

"Hey, so I guess you and me are going to be spending a lot of time together then?"

Haley scowled at him, "Over. My. Dead. Body."

He smirked." Better start preparing that funeral then ".

Brooke took out her cell phone.

"Hey Payton… yep…. She's fuming but nothing a little guilt trip can't solve…. Yeah… well he was cool about it…Sure, I'll come round tomorrow and we'll plane stage two of operation Naley…See ya"

She shut her phone and smiled. This was going to be fun.
