Lucas just let Brooke walk away from him and he didn't even bother to go after her. Lucas pondered if Brooke was right what was going on in his head about Haley. Lucas had known Haley for a really long time they grew up together. Haley was his best friend he never thought of her as anything else. Especially not in any form of a romantic way or in any other interest like that,
Lucas sat down against the wall and thought about Haley about the first time they met. When Haley stumbled into his mom's café and she came in with such spunk and attitude. That started the movie nights and mocking the in crowd before Nathan and Brooke entered their world. Lucas smiled thinking about after the in crowd entered their lives and Haley accepted them because he wanted her too.
Haley has always had a guinne hearts and a passion for people she was also beautiful and adorable. Then it hit Lucas he was in love with his best friend. Lucas stated, "I'm in love with Haley James."
"What?" Lucas looked up and saw Peyton with a puzzled look on her face.
Lucas stood up and said, "I gotta go." Lucas ran out of the gym leaving Peyton behind.
Meanwhile Uncle Cooper was leaving his house when Nathan pulled up. Uncle Cooper questioned, "Got plans for winter break?"
Nathan said, "No, but something tells me you have plans for me."
Uncle Cooper stated, "I rented a villa in Tuscany your mother and I are leaving tomorrow, and I got you a ticket for when you get done with your finals so you can join us." Nathan stayed silence and nodded "What's in your head Nate?" Nathan just looked away "Brooke I see." Nathan nodded "You could just forget that whole I'm not going to make a move on her and just do it."
Nathan responded, "I won't go back on my word."
Haley walked up and spoke, "Hey Cooper."
Cooper said, "Hey Haley" Cooper got into his car and left.
Haley walked closer to Nathan and whispered, "Hey" Nathan nodded at her. "So are you ever going to talk to me?" Nathan remained quiet "I'm sorry okay."
Nathan stated, "There how hard was that to say?"
Haley remarked, "I've been avoiding you for three weeks and all I had to say was sorry?"
Nathan smirked, "Pretty much" Nathan headed towards the house and then turned around, "Hey best friend you coming up?" Haley smiled and ran up to Nathan and then they headed inside. Nathan got a couple bowls out for ice cream "Chocolate fine?" Haley nodded yes "So how's Lucas doing?"
Haley answered, "Upset but he'll never admit that to me."
Nathan replied, "I tried to get Brooke to talk to him" Nathan handed her a bowl after he put the ice cream in.
Haley questioned, "So what's really going on between you and Brooke? Are you trying to make a move on her to get her back?"
Nathan put his spoon down after taking a bite and stated, "Brooke and I are just friends and no I am not trying to make a move on her. I won't do that to Lucas I am not perusing her not anymore."
Haley looked into Nathan's eyes and saw the truth. Haley responded, "I believe you" Haley sighed.
Nathan puzzled, "What?"
Haley shook her head and replied, "Nothing you have just turned into a really great guy Nathan."
Nathan smiled and questioned, "Are you hitting on me?"
Haley laughed, "In your dreams Scott." Nathan laughed "I'm glad we've gotten to this place we can joke like this.
Nathan spoke, "Yeah me too."
