The next morning Nathan and Haley woke up early to go register for classes and get their books. They woke up, showered and went to go eat breakfast. Both of them noticed that the suite was really quiet. They knew that Jake had taken Jenny out to show her the new place she would be living.
Jake took Jenny all around the campus showing her the big buildings and the green grass. They then decided to venture off campus. They went for a nice long walk in a neighborhood in Palo Alto. Jake was looking around at the houses noticing how night they are. Seeing how kids were playing outsides since school had not started yet. He wanted that for Jenny, to live in a nice house in a neighborhood where there were tons of kids, with a mother and father. With that Jake's mind began to wander to Brooke. What was going on with the two of them? He was not sure. They got along really well, were they just good friends? He wasn't sure he felt something that was more than friends. He would love to start a new relationship, but at the same time he was scared. He had not had a relationship since Nikki and everyone knew how well that turned out. Jake was snapped out of his day dream when he heard his cell phone ringing. He looked down at the caller ID and noticed it was Brooke. How funny, the same person he was thinking of.
"Hey Brooke"
"Hey Jake, where are you? I figured that I could take Jenny off your hands for a little while, incase you need to buy book or register for classes."
"I actually do need to do both, at the moment we are not on campus, I took Jenny for a walk but we should be back in a little while, it would be a great help if you could watch her. But have you registered for classes already? I don't want to take you away from your college stuff"
"No, I already registered this morning, I actually woke up early, maybe it was the fact that neither of my room mates were sleeping in my room last night"
Jake started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Just that fact that for the first time both Haley and Peyton have relationships but you don't"
"Very funny Jake, and no one knows what is going on with Peyton and Lucas, they are being very secretive, I am not liking it"
With that Jake and Brooke signed off. Jake promising to call when he got back to the dorms.
Jake spent some more time walking around thinking about the conversation he just had with Brooke. The fact that she could call him to do him a favor makes he think there is more going on than just friends. Jake decided that we should figure out what was going on.
As Jake was thinking about relationships Nathan and Haley were trying to register for classes. As they were walking over there Nathan kept getting looks from girls. I guess the girls knew who he was, part of the Scott brother basketball team. Nathan ignored the looks, but they couldn't help to get to Haley. In highschool girls loved Nathan, but Haley knew that Nathan was hers and no one would try and take that away, college was a different story.
Nathan noticed that Haley was acting strangely. "Hales, what's wrong?"
Haley was not sure what to tell Nathan, they had never had this problem before. "Nothing is wrong"
"Hales, as much as you are good at many things, lying is one thing you aren't so good at"
"Fine, you really want to know. I am worried about us. In highschool girls wanted you but they knew we were together and no one wanted to break that apart, college is a different story"
"Haley, look at me" Nathan turned Haley so that she was looking him in his eyes. "I love you. I will always love you. No other girl is going to change that. People could throw themselves at me and it wouldn't change anything at all."
Haley got a big smile on her face. With that she kissed Nathan. For now at least she was reassured.
