After Nathan had hung up and explained the girls plan for tonight he turned to Lucas again and said
„So what was with that story?"
„So I haven't been with anyone romantically and well I am not that good at picking up random girls." Lucas couldn't finish that sentence but Nathan did it for him.
„Yeah these girls pick you up. Don't look so hurt. I have one word for you Nikki!" Lucas winced at that name. It wasn't his best memory...
„Thanks man just the reminder I needed! But you are right. I just can't do that. It doesn't seem right."
„So you are going to wait for the girl to make a move?" Skillz asked incredulously.
„That was not what I was trying to say. I just want something more than a random hook up!"
„OK man I get it. So Nate what about that cousin. You know her?"
„Yeah before High school started Cal came down here almost every summer and believe it or not she could pass for a second Peyton but that was before Sawyer found out about hair dye." Nathan laughed at the others. „You guys did know that she isn't a natural blond, right?"
Brooke had just pulled up in the parking lot of the airport and Peyton was already stressed.
„Hurry up girls! We only have ten minutes left until Callie arrives!"
„OK Peyton you need to calm down. If you hurt yourself you can't go out with us tonight. So slow down for your sake ok!" Haley said to the giddy blonde and put a hand on her shoulder.
„Thanks Hales but seriously lets go."
The three women reached the gate and needed to wait five more minutes than the first people came out. Callie was one of the last.
„Wow." Peyton muttered as she recognized her cousin. „There she is!" she pointed in the direction of a women with a short bob cut and night black hair.
„She definitely changed since the last time I saw her." Brooke said.
Callie walked up to Peyton and flung herself in the waiting arms. „I missed you!" both mumbled simultaneously.
„SO let me introduce you..." Peyton started.
„Not necessary. Brooke Davis, fashion diva and Haley James-Scott, rock star!"
„OK I know how you know Brooke but Haley wasn't in the media for years and she changed just as much as you...."
„OH I know you from pictures of a friend." she explained.
„Not that I love our talk but we better get out of here and change. Than we head to Tric where we can talk!" Brooke reminded all of them where exactly they were. With a laugh the girls went for the exit and drove home.
Through who could she possibly know me? I never saw her before. I am sure of that. Haley wracked her brain for any hint of where she could know Callie but came up empty.
After they all had changed, well put on the outfits Brooke picked out. They were ready to go. After they had arrived at Tric Haley's curiosity got the best of her and as she catched Callie in private so she took her chance.
„You never told me the name of this mutual friend?"
„He didn't tell you by now? I am sure you told Nathan that I am here."
„Wait you kept in touch with him? Oh now that you remind me he said to tell you hi!"
„Thank you, and yes we kept in touch. Weird that he didn't tell you." She suddenly froze in her spot and muttered something that sounded like crap to Haley.
„What is it?" the petite brunet girl asked worriedly.
„My soon to be ex-husband." Callie pointed in the direction of the door. Haley froze too.
„Really? Him? Wow... I am speechless." Haley dragged Callie with her back to the booth where Brooke and Peyton were sitting.
„Guys Callie's Ex is here!"
„Where?" came in unison.
„Over there at the bar." she pointed over to where Owen, the bartender just gave some dorky guy a drink. Brooke found her ability to speak first.
„That is you ex? We would have told you that he is horrible believe us." Peyton who had said nothing but looked around the club to see if they knew anyone else here was suddenly distracted by her buzzing cell phone.
„It's Luke!" she mouthed to the others and went to take the call.
„Hey, aren't you supposed to watch a game?"
„We were watching the game but Nate is bugging us to meet your supposedly hot cousin. So where are you?"
„Nice! Tell Nate that he should stop it or I'll tell Haley and we are at Tric but I don't think Cal is up for a new guy. Since her husband just send her divorce papers and to top it is at Tric too."
„What? Do we know the guy?"
„Yeah and it is the last guy I would have believed to get married let alone to my cousin. She normally only picked the normal ones. Unlike me!"
„What was that supposed to mean?" Luke sounded hurt, well he was.
„Oh nothing. Well if you really want to come I guess you can. We are in a secluded booth. So just ring us if you can't find us." and she hung up.
After she was back at the table she informed the other that the boys were coming.
„On the subject of boys, if I need a distraction tonight who is available?" Callie asked. Brooke was the only one able to answer.
„Well as far as we know everyone is available besides Nathan. Or is Luke with some one Hales?"
„I don't know. We should ask him though."
„SO who is this Luke guy? New around here?" Callie asked.
„Oh no. Luke is Nathans brother actually."
„Wait the shy blond guy that was always with the girl in that weird poncho thing? The one we hated?"
„What is it that everyone brings up my poncho?" Haley cried. Peyton and Brooke suddenly found their hands pretty interesting but Haley and Callie kept glaring at them.
„Okay we may should have mentioned that Haley is poncho-girl and well Peyton and I were with Luke. He actually wrote a book about it." Brooke explained and Callie burst out laughing.
„Is that Nathans brother?" she asked pointing to the entrance and sure there was Lucas.
„How did you figure that one out? He changed a lot so you couldn't just remember him!" Brooke asked.
„Well actually I know him but I never made the connection."
„Where do you know him from?" Peyton wanted to know but Callie couldn't answer because the boys had arrived.
A/N2: I know I know it is mean to stop here but I thought it would be a good idea. So you can tell me who you think Callie really was married to and if anyone should hook up with her (just as an information i can't write that part...). Okay so now click on that little button and tell me what you think.(BTW I take anonymous reviews too!)
