Brathanfan- It was sweet of him to do so, I wish someone did that for me lol...glad you're liking it so far!
Peyton and Jill were parked on the bench outside of the school. Their Art class had been cancelled for the day. It seemed their art teacher came down with the flu and had to stay home. His absence was so sudden the school didn't have enough time to call in a substitute, hence their free period. The two decided to spend it outdoors on the bench that was under the big shady tree. It was scorching outside and neither of the two wanted to be burned by the rays yet they didn't want to stay inside so the bench spot was perfect. Jill knew this spot awfully too well for she and Nathan always ate lunch under this tree. The two girls were chatting away not knowing the third bell had just rung.
"What are you two so engulfed in that you missed the bell ring?"
Both girls looked up to see Nathan hovering over them.
"Something Corporate CD," Jill replied holding up the rectangular case.
Nathan's face grimaced, "Aww no, don't tell me you're a rocker too? Bad enough we have goth girl here," he looked over at Peyton who stuck out her tongue.
"Nathan I like all kinds of music, but rock is pretty much my style. Why mister you got a problem?" Jill pointed her finger at him.
He put up his arms in surrender, "No no it's cool."
"Good."
Peyton wanting to put in her two cents in defence of her music taste she hit Nathan, "Yeah and if you call me goth girl one more time Nathan I will hurt you."
Nathan nodded and laughed.
"Anyways you two I got to get to Bio before Luke gives my seat away," Peyton got up fixing her shirt, "Jill meet me at my locker after and I'll let you see some of the drawings I was working on for our collage."
"Cool I'll be there," Jill smiled as she herself got up and grabbed her bag.
Peyton did her small wave before walking off.
"Collage?"
"Yeah for art, me and Peyton are partnered up to paint a collage for the school."
"Wow that's cool, I never knew you were good at drawing?"
"Well I'm just full of surprises aren't I?" Jill smirked as she Nathan walked towards English Lit.
Nathan laughed and nodded, "How was your lunch?"
"Pretty good even though I didn't get to eat anything," they reached their destination and she was easing herself into her chair, "Brooke practically introduced me to the whole girl population of Tree Hill High."
Nathan laughed, "What about the guys? I'm pretty sure Brooke knows all of them too."
"Yeah she said we'd do that another day, at a party or something when we can really have fun," she giggled and shook her head.
Nathan sort of quieted down. He didn't want Jill getting to know all of those guys. What if she fell for one of them? Quickly he tried to shake the idea out of his mind, "Yeah I was in the gym playing basketball with Luke all of lunch so I didn't eat anything either," remembering the food he had made just for her, "but don't worry I brought some food to sustain us for this period," he opened his bag and pulled out the container.
"Oh my gosh Nathan," she stared at the large Ziploc container that was sitting on his desk, "that's the largest container I've seen in my whole life."
"I made sure I brought enough for both of us. I'm pretty sure we can both finish this in like 5 minutes."
"Oh yeah I bet we can," she smiled.
"I still remember that time you downed 5 chicken tacos one after the other."
"Aww I was hungry."
"I know," he laughed, "but you've got some appetite."
Jill nodded, it was true. The girl could eat and eat but you would never see any of it on her tiny frame. I guess growing up with her cousins who were all guys and having eating contests toughened her stomach up and made her the big eater she was today.
"Are we going to eat it or what?" She giggled.
"Calm down mighty mouth let me give you a fork before you dive into it face first."
Jill made a pouty face then hit Nathan.
Nathan smirked and handed her a fork. He let Jill taste it first as he held his breath hoping his cooking was a success. After seeing her go for a second scoop he knew she approved so he went in for a scoop as well.
"Nathan this is so good who made it?"
"Umm me."
"No way!" She looked at him, "you made this?"
"Well my mom guided me through it but I did the work."
She smiled, "you should cook more often."
Nathan took it as a compliment and smiled back, "So where we off to today?"
"Mmm I was thinking we could go to IKEA if that's okay?"
"Cool," not knowing what she had just said," wait what's IKEA?"
"It's just the most coolest place to buy furniture in the world," she said with such enthusiasm, "if I could live there I would."
Witnessing her face brighten and the joy in her voice Nathan just sat there smiling, "Okay that's a good enough reason for me."
"Good it's a date then," she replied before stuffing her face with another scoop of lasagna.
"It's a date," Nathan quietly mouthed the words before joining her devour what they had left in the container.
