Peyton looked around the pool, trying to find an open lounge chair to lie on, once she found one, she walked over to it, sat down and pulled out her drawing notebook. She hadn't drawn at all during the 2 weeks that she had spent here with Nathan and she knew the reason why. When Peyton drew, she drew what she felt and what had been going on in her life. She was afraid of what might happen if she started to draw, afraid that Jake would somehow creep back up into her mind… but also afraid that Nathan would too. She wasn't sure which one scared her more. So she just began to draw the first thing that popped into her mind. Somehow that ended up being Nathan and her cuddling in bed, which they had done not only that first night, but every other night as well.

"Excuse me… your Peyton, right?" A pretty blonde young woman who looked about Peyton's age asked as she sat down in the chair next to her.

"Yea, that's me. Umm… do I know you?" She asked politely. The girl started to laugh.

"Well, no not really, but I know of you. My name is Cara, my boyfriend, Jason, is in the high flyers camp too. I guess him and Nathan are friends or something."

"Oh yea, I've met Jason. But how come I've never met you? Are you not staying here?"

"I just got in yesterday, my parents weren't really sure if they wanted me to spend the a whole 2 months with Jason in a hotel, so they didn't let me come down the first two weeks, so now I get a month and a half with him. I mean like that's going to stop us from doing anything." They laughed.

"Well I'm glad that there's another girl my age here, I mean when I'm with Nathan its good, but during the day it gets kind of lonely." Cara nodded in understanding.

"So how long have you and Nathan been going out?"

"What? Oh, Nathan, and me we're not together… I mean, we used to be, but… we're just not going out now." Peyton responded nervously.

Cara smiled," Oh, sorry, I just thought that since you were in the same room and you're staying with him that maybe…"

"Oh yea, well we're just friends, that's it," She said, hoping that she didn't sound too disappointed.

Cara smirked, "Well then why are you guys cuddling?" When she saw Peyton's confused look she pointed to her drawing, "That is you and Nathan, right?"

"Yea…well…" A sense of relief filled her when she saw Nathan and Jason walking towards them; she quickly hid her drawing as Nathan walked up beside her.

"Hey Peyt." He said happily as he bent down and hugged her; she smiled widely as he did so.

"Ewww… you're all sweaty." She told him as they separated.

"Yea and hot too," He winked at her jokingly. She rolled her eyes at him and looked over at Jason and Cara who were now passionately making out.

Nathan coughed loudly, as if to tell them to stop. They pulled apart and looked over at them smiling.

"Sorry" They said together, Peyton and Nathan started to laugh.

"It's ok, me and Peyton used to be the same way." James and Nathan laughed, while Cara caught Peyton's eye and smiled knowingly.

"So Peyton, I guess you met Cara, I hope you don't mind her, she's kind of a pain," He smiled as Cara hit him on the arm.

Peyton smiled, "Yea I did, she's actually really cool."

"Good, because a bunch of the guys were going to this club tonight and you two girls are coming too." James said as Peyton and Cara nodded in unison, Peyton was ready for a night out.

"Well me and Peyton might be a little late," He told them as he put his hand upon her shoulder and she looked up at him confusedly, "I'm taking her out to dinner."

"You are? Why?" Peyton asked as he looked down into her eyes.

"Because you're you, and I want to thank you."

"For what?"

"For being you." They looked deeply into one another's eyes, and what Peyton saw there made her smile widely.
