Chapter 9

It was a long weekend of healing for all juniors and seniors at Tree Hill High from Friday's night bash. Soon enough it was Monday and the halls were once again filled with groaning and moaning adolescence. Nathan was walking down the hall accompanied by Tim Smith when he saw his girlfriend walking towards him with a wide grin planted on her face. Nathan said something to Tim before they butted fists and departed ways. Nathan took one last deep breathe before heading towards the red-head in front.

"Hey there Superstar." She said as she wrapped her arms around Nathan's neck giving him a kiss. Nathan pulled away before it got too intense.

"Hey uhmm Rachel…" he said a little cautious. "We need to talk."

"Hmmm… that's never a good start to a conversation boy toy…" she said still smiling at him not knowing what he really wanted to say or if she even cared for that matter. "I never saw you again at the party the other night. I was really hoping for some fun time back at my beach house that night." Rachel said seductively as she ran her index finger down his body.

"Yeah about that.." before Nathan could finish Rachel interrupted.

"Look it's okay boy-toy all is forgiven, How about we continue this tonight at my house." She said as she turns away to leave, but before she could Nathan grabbed her arm.

"Oh Nathan… a little too excited huh…" she said with a mischievous smirk. "We could skip class and come back to my place, my parents…" before she could finish Nathan was the one who interrupted her this time.

"Rachel we can't do this anymore." He exclaimed a little annoyed because he couldn't really get a word in until now.

"Okay fine so tonight after school then."

"No Rachel I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. I mean us, I can't deal with this shit anymore. It's over." He said drifting off a bit on the end because he was a little worried of how she would react. But all he got was a confuse look on the red head's face, obviously not familiar with getting dumped before.

"Rachel? Did you hear me? It's over." Nathan repeated a little louder, just in case she didn't hear it the first time.

"What are you saying Nathan?" Rachel's smile quickly faded as she folded her arms across her chest looking up at Nathan waiting for a response.

"This just isn't working for me anymore." Nathan explained.

"Is it because of her?" Rachel exclaimed causing a little scene as she points to the direction where two blondes had just gotten out of once of the classrooms.. Nathan turns around to see who she was pointing at before turning around to face Rachel.

"What? What does Haley and Peyton have to do with anything!" Nathan exclaimed a little confused at Rachel.

"Not Peyton Nate… When I left you two things got pretty heated up between you two didn't it?" Rachel yelled at him.

"What the hell are you talking about Rachel! Haley has nothing to do with this!" he fought back annoyed at the fact that she would bring Haley into this.

"Whatever, look how about.." Rachel started to talk a little calmer and started to put the moves on Nathan once again but Nathan once again pushed her away.

"Rachel it's over. I'm done." Nathan finalized it as he walks away leaving Rachel in shock as she tries to grasp everything that had just happened. Once Rachel snapped out of it she glared at the girls who were still walking towards her laughing and talking to one another. Rachel clenched her fist as she stormed off toward their direction 'bumping' into one of them causing the girl to drop all the books she was carrying.

Haley and Peyton just stepped out of their homeroom class chatting and laughing as they walked towards Haley's locker.

"I really don't know how you handle all this work Hales. I swear at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if you graduated before your brother." Peyton laughed as she watched her friend trying to juggle all her textbooks in her arms.

"Yeah tell me about it" Haley giggled back. "After taking on this tutoring Nathan thing I had to learn all the subjects he's learning."

"Aaaah… So how is the tutoring thing going?" Peyton bumped hips with Haley causing Haley to stumble a little but quickly recovered before dropping any of the books. "Heh…Sorry…" Peyton giggled a bit.

"It's okay…" Haley said just relieved that her klutzyness didn't take hold. "The tutoring thing is fine. He's actually making progress which is really good and I'm actually getting more balls in the basket now." Haley said with much satisfaction in her voice.

"And how are things with you and Nathan?" "Peyton said with a big grin on her face.

"Things are well…" Haley cocked her eyebrows knowing exactly what Peyton meant by that. "We're actually starting to get close again, like old times." Haley said with a nod.

"That's great Hales! Now all you have to do is find a way to get rid of that bitchy girlfriend of his." Both girls started to laugh until the devil herself bumps right into Haley causing her to drop all her textbooks on the ground. Haley groaned a bit before crouching down to pick up her books.

"What the hell is her problem." Peyton exclaimed annoyed before crouching down to help her friend gather he things.

Nathan walked into his next period class and saw Lucas and Tim sitting beside each other and talking. He approached them and gave each a nod before sitting down at the desk in front of Tim. Nathan turned around to join in the conversation but Tim quickly changed it as he directed a question to Nathan. "Sooo… How did it go with Rachel?"

"What about Rachel?" Lucas asked looking at the both of them with anticipation written on his face wanting to know what they we're talking about.

"Nate said he was finally going to end it with her." Tim explained.

"Oh yeah? And…?" Lucas said with a little excitement.

"Geeze don't you sound like Brooke right now." Nathan chuckled a bit before continuing. "But yeah it's official. Me and Rachel are done. I'm done with playing girls." Nathan confirmed.

"Rachel and I." Lucas corrected Nathan's grammar. Nathan and Tim just looked at Lucas like he was crazy.

"Sorry, I guess I caught a little bit of my sister's habit." Lucas chuckled a bit. "Anyway congrats Nate. It's about time." Tim and Lucas both gave Nathan props.

"Yeah thanks guys. But uhmm.. Luke I have to ask you something actually..." Nathan said but before the conversation could continue their teacher came in to start the class.
