I'm sorry for the lack of updates but I've had a major writersblock on this story. Don't worry this time though, I've almost finished the next chapter too so I'll be updating again soon. Please R&R.


Chapter five:

It was the end of another boring day at school and Lucas was sitting in the tutoring center studying as he waited for one of his students to show up. Someone sat down beside him; he looked up from his books and found Haley James watching him. She smiled and he closed his books.

"Hey there stranger." She said.

"Hey yourself."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"What's your deal with Brooke?"

"I'm tutoring her, why?"

"You see that's the thing. You can't be tutoring her, I asked her teacher this morning and it turns out her grades are as good as mine. She doesn't need a tutor so I'm going to ask you again, what's your deal with her?" Haley asked with a smile.

"I told you, I'm just tutoring her." Lucas said getting a little nervous.

"Fine! I'll just ask her then." Haley said before leaving.

Lucas decided to call Brooke to tell her about what Haley knew but he had no time, his student walked through the doors just as he picked up his phone so he put it back in his pocket. The student in question turned out to be none other than Nathan Scott, his cousin that he did not like at all. In fact he hated the guy.

"Hello there cus, how's nerd life treating ya?"

"Just great Nathan, what can I do for you?"

"Well your my tutor so I was hoping you'd make my grades better."

"I'm your what? I'm not tutoring you, there's no way."

"Well you are my tutor so you'll just have to live with it."

"Not a chance in hell."

"You're tutoring Brooke and I don't see you having a problem with that?"

"Well, she's not a jerk such as yourself."

"Wow, is there a crush hidden here? Forget it cus, she's playing in my league, not yours."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"She's too good for you, or should I say too bad?" Nathan laughed.

"She's way too good for you anyway so what do you know about her being too good for me?"

"Well if she's too good for me then how come she spent the night in my bed several times?" Nathan bragged with a confident smile on his lips. Lucas did not respond, he sat quiet trying not to hit the guy in front of him. How could Brooke do something like this to him? She knew he hated Nathan, he more than hated him. Before Nathan could continue to brag about how easy Brooke was Lucas picked his things up and walked out the door.

"But Haley, I don't like him like that. He's just tutoring me," Brooke said into the phone.

"I would believe you if I didn't know that you're a straight-A student."

"Who told you that?"

"Your english teacher whatever his name is."

"Damn it!"

"So now you can tell me what your deal with Lucas is, right?"

"No, no I'm not telling," Brooke said desperate.

"You like him! I knew it!" Haley shreiked, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Hang on, I'll be right over," she said before hanging up the phone.

"Damn it! Shit, shit, shit!" Brooke cursed as someone walked into her room.

"Just what I was going to say," a voice came from behind her and she spun around.

"Luke? What are you doing here?"

"I'm visiting my vbest friend, you got a problem with that?"

"Yeah! Well not really but Haley's on her way over and if she sees you here she'll become even more suspisious about us."

"Fine, I'm leaving but call me later ok? We need to talk."

"Sure, about what?"

"Nathan," Lucas simply stated before leaving.
