Brooke got over the announcements: "I just want to thank everyone for coming to the party, were going to have a great time before its time to head off to that dreadful place we call school, this year will be hell for all of us, just do your best and try to have a good time, before you know it, we will all be off in different places. Lets get this party started" She looked over to Peyton who nodded.

"Alright everyone lets rock n roll" Peyton said over the microphone

Peyton then blasted a ton of music, while every one roasted their marshmallows for s'mores (sp), and danced around the bon fire. They were all having a great time when Peyton decided that its time to spice things up a little bit. She then put on "Dreaming of You" by Selena, and made people dance. The boys had someone they wanted in mind to dance with. Nathan walked right up to her and asked her to dance

"Hey"

"Hey"

"You want to dance?"

"Sure"

"Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me"

After the dance, Nathan went back and joined his brother and Lucas, they too had danced with someone. At around twelve o'clock that night the dance ended. Everyone went home and went to bed, knowing tomorrow was going to be a long day, their first day of junior year, the year with the HSPA'S and SATS. The dreadful year.

"Not now, five more minutes" Nathan groaned.

"Come on man! Get up" Jake said

"Jake!" Nathan screamed

"Now little brother"

"Hey, only by a minute"

"Still Little" Jake laughed! "We have to go"

"No we don't school doesn't start for another two hours"

"Yea, but I promise Peyton we'd meet her at Karen's Café"

"Oh I think someone has a little crush"

"Shut up, and go get ready"

"Jake and Peyton sitting in a tree"

"Dude we are not two"

"Who else is going to be at Karen's?"

"Um probably the rest of the three musketeers, and Luke"

"Oh goody" Nathan said sarcastically even though he was secretly in love with Haley.

Nathan took a shower and through on some clothes, he didn't want to make it look like he was trying to impress someone, he didn't want his brother to catch on, twenty minutes later the boys arrived at Karen's Café, were Peyton, Brooke, Lucas, and Haley, all sat waiting.

"Well well are we late again?" Luke said jokingly

"It's all Mr. Hotshots fault"

"It is not, who the hell plans to meet at seven thirty when school doesn't start for another hour"

"I do" said Peyton

"Hello boys, you want something to eat?" Karen asked the boys

"Yes, coffee, and a new brother" Nathan joked

"The first one I can get you"

"Thank you"

"And for you Jake?"

"Coffee please"

"Sure"

At around eight thirty the gang got up and got ready to go to school. They all had lunch together and Nathan had English with Haley. He was very happy. He had math with Lucas and Jake. After school Jake and Nathan met up with Lucas to practice some Basketball, Nathan was captain this year and wanted to get a head start of the game, so he dragged Jake and Lucas along too. He had a very good feeling about this years team

"Haley I need a favor" Nathan asked one day after school.

"Sure, what's up?"

"Um, well I'm kind of failing English and was wondering if you could maybe tutor me a couple of days in the morning, because I've got practice right after school?"
"Sure Nathan, how about we meet tomorrow at the docks say around 7:00"

"Sure, thank you so much Haley"

"No problem, see you bright an early"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey Nathan, you're ten minutes late"

"I know I brought coffee and captain crunch though"

"Oh good, alright lets get started"

Nathan was staring at Haley trying to concentrate on last nights English homework; it wasn't really working for him. He started eating his captain crunch when he found the prize. It was a bracelet.

"Here it's for you"

He took it out of the box

"Don't say I never gave you anything" and put the bracelet on her wrist. She smiled!

A/N: Sorry guys for the long. I just had to put the whole bracelet thing in I love that part!
