Nathan and Haley get to school about ten minutes early. Since they're so early they decide to sit down on a bench. Nathan turns and kisses Haley passionately. Haley looks bewildered.
Haley: Nathan what are you doing? We're at school.
Nathan: So what? I want everyone to know you're still mine. (Grins at Haley.)
Haley: Oh, I''m yours, really? (raises eyebrows)
Nathan: Yeah.
Lucas and Brooke walk up to them at this point. Haley looks at Nathan and smiles sweetly, then she gets up, links ams with Lucas and walks away a few feet. Nathan just stares and Laughs to himself.
Lucas: Hales what are you doing?
Haley: Nathan thinks he owns me.
Lucas: And he doesn't?
Haley: Guys don't OWN girls. Does Brooke own you?
Lucas: (Stupidly, like a dumb found five year old) Yes.
Haley: Urgh! Your no help. (Haley sticks her tongue out at Luke.)
Lucas: Yes I am.
Lucas links arms tighter with Haley and walks her back over to Nathan. The he looks over to Nathan and points at Haley.
Lucas: Did you lose this?
Haley glares at Lucas.
Haley: Hey! I'm not a poss... (nate cuts her off)
Nathan: Why yes I did.
Nathan grabs Haley and pulls her down onto his lap. Haley pretends to struggle for a minute and then laid back onto Nathan as though exhausted. A girl walked up behind them. She had long brownish reddish hair and was a little bit shorter then Haley's height. She came up behind Lucas.
Mariah: Hey Lucas.
Lucas: Oh, hey Mariah.
Brooke sort of glared at her. Mariah caught the glare.
Mariah: Oh, don't worry, I'm not interested in Lucas. I'm a freshman. I just know Lucas because I sit next to him in creative writing class.
Haley: Oh, you're in our creative writing class.
Mariah: Yeah, I like to write songs. Hey, you're Haley James-Scott aren't you?
Haley: Yeah I am. Lucas talk about me?
Mariah: Yeah, but I know about you a lot because of your tour. I followed your tour through the internet after the Wreckers came to Tree Hill.
Haley: Yet you call me Haley James-Scott, not just Haley James.
Mariah: Yeah, I saw your live interview, where you corrected them.
Haley: Cool. So you're into music? I mean you write songs, so you must be.
Mariah: I play guitar and sing.
Brooke: Oh my god, it's like a freshman Haley, except not married.
Haley: Shut up Brooke.
The bell rang then. Nathan and Haley got off of the bench and they all began to walk towards class.
Mariah: Hey Haley. Maybe we could practice music together some time. I could use your musical expertise to help me some.
Haley: Sure. We could um, help each other.
Mariah: All right, sounds good. I'll see you in class Lucas. I have to go to my locker.
Lucas: K, later.
Lucas turns to his friends after Mariah walked off.
Lucas: So, she's pretty cool for a freshman, huh guys.
Haley: Yeah, I like her. She seems pretty nice and really into music.
Nathan: And I like her, because she's a girl, not a guy. So there is no danger of Haley working with her on music.
Haley: Hey!
Nathan: What it's true. I mean with Chris he kept trying to make a move on you and you kept having to shoving off.
Haley: Yeah, well next time we see him, you can kill him.
Nathan: Yay!
Lucas: So Brooke, what do you think of Mariah.
Brooke: Eh, I dunno, she seems to friendly towards all of us.
Haley: Oh, come on Brooke, you just have trouble letting new friends in. Remember when you first met me. You hated me.
Brooke: I didn't hate you Tutor Wife. Well, ok, I thought you might've liked Lucas, so I didn't like you that much, but when you started dating Nathan it was fine, because then it was clear you weren't into Luke.
Haley: Haha, ewww I'd never be into Luke.
Nathan: You better not, he's my brother.
Haley: So, you slept with my sister.
Nathan flinched at this. Haley didn't really notice. She was just trying to keep the conversation light and funny.
Haley: But that was before we got married, so it's all good.
Haley gives Nathan a little peck on the cheek and then grabs his hand.
Haley: Come on let's get to class.
