--- Thanks to everyone who has commented on my story. Means a lot! )…Everytime I see a review it puts a big smile on my face and just make me want to keep going when I feel lazy..hehe…so thanks again!

A/N: So just in case people got a little confuse in the first two chapters I'll clears things up. Haley and Lucas are brother and sister. I don't know if people noticed but I really couldn't make up my mind on Haley's age. But this is the definite age, Haley is 17 a junior and Lucas is 18 a senior. Their last name is Scott, and their parents are Karen and Andy Scott. Their parents divorced when they were just 10 and Haley moved away with their mom while Lucas stayed with their dad. Nathan is a Lee with just his mom taking care of him ever since his dad Keith died in a tragic accident when he was only 2. Lucas, Nathan and Haley have been friends ever since they were little. Keith and Andy were great friends when Keith was still alive. That is how the three became good friends. But when Haley moved out the three became a two and now Nathan and Lucas are best friends. So as I put in the summary Haley comes back to Tree hill to try to get away from her past. What she's running from is still a secret.

Hope you enjoy this next chapter, sorry for any confusions. If there are still questions you want to clear up just let me know and I'll be glad to clear it up for you. Enjoy and please keep reviewing and tell me what you think. Thanks! Now on to chapter 3…

Chapter 3

"Hey Luke, you never told me Haley was coming back." Nathan took a shot and the ball swished at it made its way through the hoop.

"You never asked." Lucas grinned and aimed for the basket "Plus didn't know it mattered" Lucas took a shot and also made a swish.

"I guess so, but man she's so grown now." swish

"Who's all grown?" A beautiful brunette comes up to the two boys and took a glance at Lucas.

"Hey pretty girl" Lucas walked towards her and gave her a hug and kiss.

"Whaddup Brooke" Nathan greeted the brunette. She looked at him and gave him a big grin.

Lucas took his aim once more. But Brooke decided to run her fingers down his body in attempt to seduce her boyfriend.

"Sooo…What are you boys up to?" Lucas took a shot but not before getting a sudden shiver down his spine as Brooke ran her index finger down his chest. Unfortunately the ball went straight over the backboards and landed on the grass. Lucas pouted as Nathan laughed his ass off at the landing of his best friend's air ball.

"Oh yeah… I still got it" Brooke said with a grin of satisfaction.

"Oh man Luke, just because your sister's back doesn't mean you start shooting like her." Nathan laughed some more.

"Sister?" Brooke said as she raised her one eyebrow looking towards Lucas.

"I wasn't that bad!" Everyone looked at the direction the voice came from. Haley made her way toward the group, picked up Lucas' ball and headed to the free throw line. She took a shot and the ball bounced off the backboards.

"I think I made my point." Nathan laughed some more.

"But I didn't make an air ball, like what my good ol'drooling big bro here just did." She chuckled at her big brother, whose face was as red as Brooke's lipstick.

"But-... I-…" Lucas was speechless. Nathan and Haley just laughed at his dismay.

"So you're the sister these boys have been talking about before I got here." Brooke interrupted the two.

"Yep that'd be me. You must be the infamous Brooke Davis. I'm Haley, nice to meet you" She said introducing herself to the girl seducing her brother.

"Nice to meet you too. So what has these two said about me?"

"Not much, I just see like pictures of you and Luke plastered all over his room. And I think you left a certain leopard undergarment on Lucas' floor. You might want to hide that Luke unless you want dad to see it." Haley giggled a bit to Lucas' shocked face.

"Haley! Sst!" Lucas gave Haley this looked and raised his hand to his throat like he was slitting his neck signaling her to stop talking.

"Lucas!" Brooke gave her boyfriend a slap on the arm. "I can't believe you'd leave that somewhere to be seen. But lucky for you I find that kind of kinky." She gave him her famous smile with the deep dimples that could make any boy's heart melt, especially the boy standing right in front of her. "Err…I…" Lucas was once again speechless.

"Wow Luke. I like her already, someone that can actually keep you from talking." Haley chuckled.

"Uhhh... I'll see you guys later..." Lucas puts his arm around Brooke and started heading towards Brooke's mini coupe.

"But what abo-" before Nathan could finish what he was going to say Lucas was already in his own world unable to hear a single word coming out of Nathan's mouth. "Awww man, just great." Nathan sighed.

"I'm not such a bad company am I?" Haley glanced at Nathan waiting for an answer.

"No it's not that, we were…uhmm just…- awww never mind." Nathan put his head down as he couldn't come up wit a good answer to Haley's question. Haley just giggled.

"So what brings you here anyway?" Nathan asks trying to change the subject,

"Oh I just got tired of playing my guitar so decided to see what you boys were up to."

"Oh I mean what brings you back in Tree hill?"

"Oh... That… uhhmmm.." Haley tried to come up with something. The first thing that popped into her head was, "No reason just missed my two favorite guys in town." As she said that Nathan couldn't help to think. Two favorite guys? Am I one of those two? He pondered to himself.

"I mean I haven't seen my dad and best big brother ever in such a long time." Haley continued. Nathan glanced down a little disappointed that the other guy was her dad not him.

"Oh so you're only visiting?" he asks.

"Nope, staying for good. I really can't take it at that place anymore. I mean New York is nice I guess but Tree Hill is my home and I'm just glad to be back." She said as she attempted to make another shot, only for the ball to hit the rim and bounce back at her. Dammit! She thought as she caught the ball back in her hands.

"Here let me show you." Nathan went behind her and grabbed her arms and guided her through the shot. Haley couldn't help but feel a shiver go through her arms to the rest of her body.

Wow she's got soft hands. And her hair… wow… she's so- Nathan! You Doofus snap out of it! FOCUS! Nathan shook his head trying to snap out of his thoughts.ahem Nathan cleared his throat before continuing. "Now bend your knees and… shoot" Haley did just that a then swoosh!

"Aahh! Yes!" The both chuckled as they give each other high fives.

"Ugh!"

"Ouch"

"Dammit!"

"Stop! stop!" Brooke quickly pushed her boyfriend off of her and sat up. "Next time can we rule out my mini coupe as a replacement bed?"

Lucas sat up panting from all the hard work he had tried to do. "Yeah, definitely. So wanna go to my house?" Lucas suggested so quickly.

"Lucas Scott! You dirty little… "Before Brooke could continue they both jumped at a figure banging on her car window. They quickly got dressed and opened the tinted glass window.

"Sorry for the interruptions but aren't you and Nathan suppose to be practicing?" The familiar blonde said looking at the couple all flustered.

"P. Sawyer! What are you doing here?" Brooke questioned.

"Well Like I said… Nathan and your boy-toy there are suppose to be practicing before school starts and Nathan decided to invite Jake too. But we were running late because Jake waited for me to get off my shift at the art studio."

"So where's that hunky boy of yours?" Brooke asked her best friend since forever Peyton.

"You mean me?" The slightly short man put his arm around Peyton trying to look all slick.

"Uhhh… Tim don't make me regret picking you up." Tim pouted and put his head down at the rejection. Peyton pushed Tim's arm off her shoulder and continued her conversation with Brooke.

"Jake's at the car getting Jenny out."

Brooke and Lucas finally got of the car to get back to their group.

"Hey guys." A slightly curly brown haired guy came up to the three near the mini coupe holding a baby car seat.

"Awwww Hey Jenny, my sexy little she-devil." Brooke said with excitement seeing the little one. The little girl giggled as if she knew what Brooke had just called her.

"O-key remind me to never let you baby-sit my daughter." Jake said with a disapproval look.

"Oh Jakey boy you know I was just kidding…" Brooke smiled her famous smile, but Jake didn't buy it. He passed the car seat to Peyton, "Yeah… just in case, better keep an eye on her Peyton." Jake chuckled a little and started heading towards the court with Lucas and Tim.

"Hey!" Brooke cried out to Jake's comment. Peyton linked arms with her best friend while holding the car seat with the other as both started to head towards the bench.

"Hey who's that girl out there with the guys?" Peyton couldn't help but ask.

"Oh that's Luke's baby sister Haley" Brooke explained.

"Oh I didn't know Luke had a sister."

"Yep. Luke told me about her before and I've seen a few pictures, but only from when they were still kids. She'll be a junior like you and I"

"Oh, so is she and Nathan..." Peyton questioned at the possibility of Haley being with Nathan since she saw him do that 'I'll show you how to shoot the ball' trick he's so famous for doing with many of his 'lady friends'.

"Uhmm, no. At least I don't think so, I mean they were childhood buddies but then again you never know with Nathan." Brooke and Peyton started to giggle at that last comment knowing Nathan oh too well.

"Did I just hear my name?" Nathan glanced over the two girls as they sat on top of the bench table and set the car seat in between them.

Brooke snickered, "Oh Nathan not everything evolves around you my dear." Brooke and Peyton looked at each other and started laughing.

Nathan rolled his eyes, "Whatever, well anyway wassup Peyton" Nathan put emphasis on her name letting Brooke know that she is now on ignore.

"What's going on Nate?"

"Have you met Lucas' sister?"

"Nope not that I know of…" Peyton said with a grin. Like she could've possibly met her when she herself just got there.

"Don't make me put you on ignore too…"

Peyton laughed, "Okay sorry so where she at?"

Nathan looked around only to see that Haley was nowhere to be found. He only saw Lucas shooting at the net along with Jake and Tim.

"Oh uhmmm… She was just here…" Nathan looked around and scratched his head like a little boy who just lost his favorite toy.

"Oh Nathan you really have to stop with these make-believe girls. Or has the great Nathan Lee finally lost his touch." Peyton and Brooke started laughing their asses off. Nathan got tired of the insults from the girls so he decided to join the guys back at the court.

"Hey Luke, where'd your sister go?" He asks confused about the whole situation.

"You mean the hottie?" Tim looked over with a big grin on his face nodding his head in satisfaction.

"Ewww... geeze Tim that's my sister you're talking about! Remind me later to keep her away from you!" Lucas threw the ball at Tim, hoping Tim would catch it, but to Tim's demise he was still in his little world thinking about Haley when BAM the ball hit Tim straight at the side of his head. But to no surprise with anyone Tim just stood there still with a big grin on his face nodding. The three laughed their asses off and shook their heads as they look at their dazed friend Tim.

"Anyway, Haley left like a few minutes ago, she said she was tired and decided to walk back home."

"Oh…" Nathan looked disappointed to see Haley gone but just shook it off for he didn't want the guys to see his reaction. She left without even saying goodbye. He thought to himself before taking another shot at the basket and swish
