Wishing
Chapter Four- Rumor Has It
Nathan was extremely happy that next Monday in school, after the concert, it was like nothing could bring him down. He sat at his desk in his office. He added a new picture to the pictures on his desk. It was half of a strip of pictures from the photo booth in the mall of Haley and him, and in one of them she kissed him, well his cheek, but it was still a kiss.
He got up to go to the gym for his next class, the class with the girls in it, he hated the mixed classes, and would be sure to tell Principal Garther at the next staff meeting.
He walked into the gym, his whistle clenched in his hand, ready to be blown at a moment's notice. The guys were already in the middle of a game of basketball, and the girls were back to braining each other's hair and painting each other's nails on the bleachers, and talking about this month's issue of some teen magazine and which guy was cuter, the new member of some boy band, or the hot actor of the week. Their conversation made Nathan mentally gag. He sat down next to them on the bleachers, and Allisha immediately started talking.
"Why didn't you give us backstage passes, or invite us onstage, it would have been a chance of a lifetime, we would so become more popular than we are now."
"Oh boo-hoo, the girls who don't do anything in my class are complaining I didn't do anything for them. Maybe if you did more for me, like participate, then I'd do more for you."
"Yeah, but Haley James is gone now, she skipped town just when her concert finished."
"I'm, sorry, didn't somebody say something about having a crush on a children's book writer."
"You mean Lucas Scott, he is so hott, omygosh you don't know how hott he is."
"You mean my brother? Come on, I believe he's coming here, is he not?"
"Where did you hear that?"
"Strait from the horse's mouth, and he's not coming alone, he's bringing Jake Jagielski, Peyton Sawyer, Brooke Davis, and of course his best friend Haley James will make an encore visit to Tree Hill."
"Stop friggin lying. Coach Scott, has anyone told you the story of Pinocchio?"
"Yeah, the wooden kid who's nose grows when he lies, maybe you should ask Daddy Mayor if he's heard of him."
"Mayor Scott is not your dad, he wouldn't even be seen with the likes of you. He has bigger things to worry about, like bringing down Mr. McFadden."
"Hey, don't talk about Mouth like that."
"Mouth?"
"Mr. Marvin McFadden, Mouth, we all called him Mouth, he was the best basketball announcer this school has ever seen and will ever see."
"Right."
"Go check she school records, then you'll see the light."
"Fine, I have connections in the office anyways, prepare to be brought down Coach Scott."
"Prepare to be humiliated Miss Freshin."
