"Earth to Peyton. Where's your English notes from yesterday?" Brooke asked.

"Why can't you write them from the blackboard like everyone else?" Peyton asked as she opened a binder.

"Because I can't pay attention to Mrs. Boring. She hates me anyway. I can't even see the blackboard from the corner." Brooke replied.

"Point proven." Peyton replied as she continued to stare at Jake. Brooke noticed.

"Hey Jake. Peyton likes you. She wants to go out with you!" Brooke yelled across the hall. Jake turned and looked before he came over. Peyton's face was red.

"You like me?" Jake asked.

"Ya. She does." Brooke replied as she left.

"Would you like to go to the movies on Saturday?" Jake asked.

"Sure." Peyton replied as they headed to homeroom.

Later That Day At basket ball practise.

"Nathan, quit staring at the cheerleaders and play." Whitey said as Lucas threw the ball which hit Nathan in the face.

"Lucas Scott! That was not necessary. One more time and you'll be sitting out the next game! Twenty laps!" Whitey said. Nathan and Lucas were always fooling around at practice. During the games, they were always focused. If they weren't the two best players, they would both be off the team.

"Hey Nathan! Better ask Haley out before I do!" Chris Keller said.

"She'll never go for you!" Nathan shouted back.

"We both want to be singers. I think she'd want me more than you." Chris said. Nathan immediately charged after him. Whitey blew his whistle. Everyone else went and tried to pull them apart.

"Nate, he's not worth it." Lucas said as he held him back.

"You know I'm right." Chris said with a smirk.

"Practice is over. Hit the showers. I want you here for a 6:00 practice tomorrow morning to make up for this one." Whitey said.

"I want to punch that guy." Nathan said as they came out of the change room twenty minutes later.

"Nathan. You don't need to worry. I don't want to go out with him." Haley said as she walked home with them.

"You never did say who you wanted to go out with." Lucas said.

"You really want to know?" Haley asked as they stopped walking. Both boys nodded.

"Fine." Haley replied as she kissed Nathan.

"Finally! Now I can get some sleep!" Lucas said although he might as well have been talking to himself because Nathan and Haley were walking beside each other not listening.
