I wanted to post this chapter last Saturday cause it would've been like celebrating my 100th chapter as well as my 19th birthday. LOL I know I'm a total nerd but I had work and I had to celebrate my birthday with the fam right after, so any time left after that, well there wasn't any. haha so here it is now! I commend you all for sticking with this story for this long. 100 chapters and counting! Enjoy!

Jill grabbed her tiny gym bag as she stifled a small yawn. Brooke had her awake at five in the morning, she was like a personal alarm clock. It kind of made Jill regret a little for letting her stay over the night before. The crazy brunette kept her up until past midnight wanting to dance like crazy girls and snacking on anything that wasn't a fruit or a vegetable. And now she made her wake up with only four hours of bed rest. Seriously how could she do it? She went to bed like an owl but awoke as alert as a police dog. Some kind of mechanical robot? Maybe. All Jill knew was that her eyes were still shutting and she craved her bed more than ever. She didn't even want to change out of her pj's. Brooke had to throw cold water on her, and even that didn't fully wake her.

Jill scratched her head a little agitated.

"Brooke why did we have to wake up so early?"

"I hate traffic and that's what we'll be getting if we leave later on."

"But it's six thirty in the morning?"

"Yeah, translate that in Tree Hill time we call that brunch."

"It's not even breakfast time."

The brunette shrugged as she loaded their bags into Jill's jeep. They decided to use her car, it was more spacious than her mini coop and not long like Peyton's Thunderbird.

Jill looked around squinting as the sun rays shone in her eyes. It was too bright and too early.

"Where's Peyton?" she looked around quizzically for the curly blonde.

"Here," Peyton squealed with a pip in her step, "I hope you don't mind I brought Lucas along. He's going to be our chauffeur."

"Oh great."

Lucas bellowed sarcastically but obviously playfully at her comment. Peyton ran to give him a peck.

"That's cool," Jill smiled, "I guess we should get a move on it then."

She grabbed Lucas' and Peyton's bag as she headed for the trunk.

"Hey sorry I'm late. My mom went overload on packing. I only told her a weekend, and she went the whole week on me."

Jill stopped midway to the trunk recognizing that voice. It couldn't be, could it? Slowly turning around her eyes fixated on an out of breath Nathan. He had jogged there in hopes of not getting left behind. But he made it, made it just in time.

Her jaw was practically hanging open. She managed to drop the bags in one swift second. Standing there like a statue she just stared.

Brooke hopped over to the shocked girl with a grin.

"Now aren't you glad I made you put on some gloss and change out of your pj's into something less embarassing?"

Jill nodded still in a daze. She quickly came out of it just in time to pull Brooke aside.

"Brooke I thought you said it was going to be an all girls weekend?"

"Yeah I did."

"Well then what is Nathan doing here? I mean it was okay when Lucas was coming but Nathan? You know how awkward we feel around each other right now."

"Correction, how awkward YOU feel around HIM right now. Nathan wants to be around you. Besides I couldn't just invite Lucas without inviting his own brother."

And with that Brooke ran off to Peyton leaving Jill to pick up the bags she had dropped and put them in the trunk.

A still embarassed and ashamed Jill quickly ran to put the bags away in hopes that Nathan wouldn't come along to put his in as well. Nathan was talking to Lucas about one of their games so it was perfect timing.

"Okay guys, we've got bags being stowed away in the trunk, we've got all we need, ME," Brooke smiled, "and last reminder did everyone go to the bathroom? We don't want stops, they drive me anal."

Everyone nodded ensuing that everyone had visited the restroom and were ready to go.

"Good now let's hit the road. P.Sawyer you're up front with Broody our driver, Boy Toy and Model Girl you're in the back with me."

Jill was almost done loading Lucas' bag when Nathan came walking towards her.

"oh crap," Jill whispered to herself.

He smiled meekly.

"Hey."

She smiled giving him a little wave as she pushed the bag into the back, walking away soon afterwards to look for Brooke. She found her fixing her make up.

"Brooke what are you doing?"

The brunette flashed her a mischievous grin.

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Brooke!"

"Model Girl!"

The two arguing girls were interrupted by the sound of a car horn caused by Peyton. It seemed everyone had taken their seats but them.

"Would you two get in the car already."

Both nodded in unison. Jill looked in to find Nathan on the window side. She looked at Brooke who was waiting for her to get in. Of course she was waiting for Jill to sit in the middle next to Nathan.

"Oh no Brooke, I know what you're planning but too bad."

"What?"

"You're sitting in the middle."

"No way! I need the window."

Jill pushed her lightly towards the car.

"No you don't. You already tricked me on inviting Nathan you can't trick me with sitting beside him, now go."

Brooke scoffed as she went in first.

"Fine."

Thank you," a satisfied Jill sighed.

Closing her door, the jeep took off. Trying to keep her from looking at the boy on the opposite side she fixated on the scenery they were driving passed.

Brooke looked at Nathan shrugging. She knew he wanted to sit next to Jill but what could she do about it.

Leaning towards Jill she whispered.

"Making me sit in between you guys isn't going to make it anymore better."

She nodded before turning back to watch the passing houses. She knew.
