It had been a week since the incident in the library and that was exactly how Nathan liked it. His theory was you give the girls a taste of what they could have and leave them wanting more. To Nathan it wasn't just about getting the girl and knowing that he was the best but it was the chase as well. Most girls usually just throw themselves at this feet but Haley was different. She was the one girl that challenged him and if there was one thing Nathan loved more than basketball it was a challenge.

Nathan was in the gym with Lucas practicing their usual free throws. It was after practice but they usually stayed behind longer not only to practice but just because they loved the game so much they didn't really want to do anything else.

"So how did things go with Haley?" Lucas asked with a smile on his face.

'Hey you don't worry about Haley I have got her exactly where I want her."

"Oh, really well I'm hate to tell you this but I heard she shot you down hard and cold."

"Why don't you worry about your own girl troubles and stay out of mine."

"Hey Peyton is just going through some stuff...look whatever she gets pissed at me ever 5 seconds and the next thing you know we are in the janitor closet making up."

"So you're telling me you stay with her for the making up part."

'No man, I love Peyton and all and no matter how pissed she gets or how fucked up our relationship gets I love her."

At this point Nathan started acting like he was playing a violin at the beautiful declaration Lucas just made. Lucas saw this and threw his basketball at him. Nathan dodged out of the way and just laughed.

"Hey it's not funny... you wouldn't understand you don't have a girlfriend so you don't know what its like."

"Well why be tied down when it's so much fun being single."

'You mean Haley...?"

"Of course man...you know me no girl has ever turned me down and Haley won't be the first."

"Lucas laughed."Whatever you say but I would watch yourself if Haley does turn you down than your rep is down the drain."

"Look whatever... hey you going to Brooke's party tonight."

"Your kidding me right...she's Peyton's best friend I don't go I get my ass kicked."

"Don't you mean you get no ass?"

Lucas just laughed. "Yea right."

Nathan and Lucas finished up throwing their usual 100 free throws in a row and decided to go to the gym locker and get changed.

Haley was heading towards her car when she saw the Porsche convertible that Nathan drove next to her Toyota Camry. That brought back the memory of what happened in the library. Haley didn't understand what came over her. Maybe it was the heat…or maybe it was the mix of cologne and heat that aroused her but she couldn't resist Nathan Scott. That arrogant son of a bitch that she hated with a passion. Never again she thought. Never again will she let him touch her. Never again will he get to her again. NEVER!

Haley got into her car and was about to head out when she realized that she left her notebook back in the gym. She remembered she had gym 5th period and she didn't feel well so she just sat and wrote songs the whole period. Haley quickly got out of her car and ran to the gym. Once there she noticed it under the bleachers and went over to retrieve it.

"I'm telling you man Haley will be mine soon." Haley could here people in the boys locker room and with the mention of her name she was curious on who was in there and why they were talking about her.

"Haley James will be mine and it will all go down at Brooke's party tonight."

"You're tripping. I'm sorry but she is as Virgin Mary as they come."

"You want a bet on that."

"Okay what are the terms?" Lucas asked intrigued

"I bet you 100 dollars that tonight is the night I pop the cherry on little miss Virgin Mary."

"All right your on…I need the extra 100 bucks to buy some DVD's. Now I don't have to ask my father. Thanks man.

"No thank you…you just made me 100 dollars richer."

The boys laughed and before they could see Haley, Haley ran out the door and hid. When the coast was clear Haley had a smile on her face.

"So Nathan Scott thinks I can resist him…well he has another thing coming…tonight should be fun.
