The next couple of days Nathan were trying to make Lucas's life hell but no matter what he did Lucas always came back for more. Things between him and Peyton weren't going to happily. Also, his dad was riding him to do better in basketball but if Nathan attempted to talk about his schoolwork he just blanked him. His mum is never home. The only person that Nathan could trust was Amy and she would always be there for him no matter what he did. Nathan must have zoned out too much that he didn't hear the teacher shout his name.

'Scott, I am talking to you,' the teacher boomed.

'What?' Nathan mustered.

'See me after class, Scott,'

Nathan stood there trying to take in what the teacher was saying. The teacher had mentioned that Nathan would have to attend tutor lessons if he wants to stay the basketball team. Nathan just figured that Amy would tutor him. After his lecture he headed for the tutor centre. He looked around and saw Amy.

'Amy?' Nathan shouted.

Amy turned around and saw Nathan. Nathan went over to her.

'So, what do I own this pleasure, Nate,' Amy said.

'I need you to tutor me,' Nathan said handing over his slip.

'Actually, I can't tutor you,' Amy said sadly.

'Why not?' exclaimed Nathan.

'Hey, it's not that I don't want to but I have strict instructions from the head teacher that I can't tutor you because you're my best friend. He thinks that we will get distracted away from the matter in hand,' Amy said.

'Who's going to tutor me then?' Nathan quizzed.

'Nathan, meet your new tutor,' Amy said pointing at Haley.

'What?' they both exclaimed.

'Since I can't tutor you, Haley's the next best thing,' Amy said, 'and no you can't refuse tutoring him.'

Both Haley and Nathan looked at each other. They were thinking the exact same thing there is no way this going to happen.

'I know you're not happy with this Nathan but this is the only way you can stay on the team. Just give it a try for me,' Amy said.

Nathan looked at her how can he refuse his best friend. Haley looked at Nathan when he stared at Amy and she saw the caring Nathan the Nathan that actually had a heart.

'O.K.' Nathan said.

Amy turned to Haley for her answer and noticed her looking at Nathan.

'Haley?' Amy said.

Haley quickly turned to face Amy and saw her glaring at her to say don't even think about.

'Yeah, o.k. but only on one condition he leaves Lucas alone.' Haley said.

'Agreed,' Amy said quickly.

'Hey, don't I get a say,' Nathan said.

'No not if you want to still play basketball,' Amy said glaring at Nathan, Nathan just nodded. 'Good, that's sorted.'

With that Amy left leaving Haley and Nathan standing there. Nathan was the first to break the silence.

'Well, it looks like we will being seeing at lot more of each other and for one I am glad,' Nathan said cocky.

There's the Nathan we all and loathed Haley thought for a moment there she thought that Nathan had actually was genuine nice guy how wrong was I.

'We meet at the docks at seven am,' Haley said and walked away.

'Looking forward to it,' Nathan shouted.

That's when it hit Nathan he could use Haley to get back at Lucas. He could make Haley fall for him. It was the perfect plan and why didn't he think of it sooner. He knew that he had promise to stay away from Lucas but it didn't say use his best friend to get at him secretly. He smirked to himself this is going to be good.
