Lucas and I went and found it to be empty. "You sure we got the right place?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Yes, Lucas. See, theres the river right there," I pointed it out and continued, "and the basketball court is right here. Hence, RiverCOURT. Get it?" I asked sweetly.
He threw the ball at me. "Okay, smartass. Ready to lose?"
I laughed. "Like I could lose to you, baby sister!"
"Oh, you're gonna get it now. I was gonna go easy on you, but whats the point. We know I'll win either way!" he said, taking the ball back from my hands.
"Oh really? We'll see about that, Lucy," I replied and then it was on!
Hours later we had both won our share of games, but there was no sense in counting since it was all for fun. "Hey, wanna play one more game before heading home?" he asked and I nodded. "Let's play a game of Pig."
I shook my head. "That's too short. Horse?"
He rolled his eyes. "Wow, Haley, a whole 2 letters more. AMAZING!"
"Whatever, fine. We'll play pig you big baby," I took the ball and was about to shoot when we heard talking and laughter.
A group of 5 guys were coming towards the court and they just noticed us. "Hey," Lucas said, giving them the 'guy nod' that he always gives. I sort of rolled my eyes at his attempt to be cool.
A tall dark haired hottie, if I do say so myself, stepped forward. "Lucas and Haley, right?"
I was confused at first. How did he know us? But those thoughts were soon filled with I'll be whoever you want me to. I mentally licked my lips. "Yeah, and you are?" Lucas asked before I had the chance to interact with this godlike creature.
He stuck his hand out. "Nathan Scott. I just got back from my mom's diner and she said you might still be here," he explained and then turned to me, smirking. "And you must be Haley."
I smirked right back. "Maybe, maybe not. How bad do you want to find out?" I flirted, stepping closer to him.
His grin grew and he shrugged his shoulders. "I guess we'll find out, huh?" he said and then a voice cleared behind him. "Oh, geez, where are my manners. These are my friends Fergie, Skills, and Mouth. Guys, this is Haley and Lucas, the two my mom was talking about."
The three nodded and waved, but the one he left out looked confused. "Hey, Nate! Don't forget about me, dogg!"
The four other boys rolled their eyes as Luke and I laughed. "Oh, that's Dim. You don't really need to know him," Nathan said quietly.
"Dim?" I questioned.
"Tim, really, but he's pretty dim, so.. it kinda stuck," Mouth explained and stepped forward. "So, how do you like it here so far?"
I shrugged. "It's okay. Haven't seen anything that makes me want to live here for good yet, but that might change," I said, looking at Nathan specifically, who stared right back.
Lucas grabbed my arm. "Well, we were just saying how we had to get home, but it was nice meeting you all. Hopefully we'll see you at school or here or something," he said while dragging me away.
We got into the car and he drove us away. "What the hell was that? I was trying to make some friends and you drag me away!" I exclaimed, beyond pissed.
"Haley, you can't just flirt with him! You don't know if he has a girlfriend or anything! You were raping him with your mind, Hales!" he yelled back at me.
"Oh, please! Just because I'm a girl means I don't get to flirt! You know damn good and well that if there were girls that came up there you would've been all over them like I was to Nathan, so just back off!" I screamed and we both were quiet for the rest of the ride home.
When he pulled up to the house I slammed the door and ran inside. "Hey, sweetie! How was your-"
"I don't want to talk about it, mom. Why don't you ask your stupid son!" I said and ran up the stairs into my room. I locked the door and started towards the window. I wasn't staying here any longer than I had to. Lucas would probably stay outside my door, trying to talk to me for hours. Hopefully he'd give up soon, because I wouldn't be there!
I had made it down to the ground easily, but I found myself questioning how I would get back up. "Sneaking out?" I jumped at the voice. I turned to see a pretty brunette girl with an equally pretty curly blonde.
I smiled. "Something like that," I replied and stuck out my hand. "Haley Roe."
They both shook my hand. "Brooke Davis. This is my bestest best friend, Peyton Sawyer," she said and I nodded.
"Is this your first day here?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah, we just got here this morning. It's a nice little town," I said.
Brooke rolled her eyes. "Please, it's boring as hell. Don't be afraid to say it!" We all laughed. "Well, tonight isn't gonna be boring, though. What do you say to hanging out with Peyton and me tonight? You could become our new bestest best friend!"
I smiled. "I'd like that, Brooke," I replied and then we all made our way to her car. Peyton sat up front with me in back. "So, what are we doing? Where are we going?"
Peyton turned to me and smiled. "Party on the beach, of course! You'll get to meet my boyfriend, Jake," she said with a dreamy smile.
Brooke made a gagging sound. "And then you'll get to lose your lunch!" she joked and Peyton hit her arm.
"Hey! We're not that bad!" she exclaimed.
Brooke looked at me through the rearview mirror. "Haley, they are terrible! It isn't even funny!"
The conversation after that was kept light until we reached our destination. We got out of the car and headed towards a group of teens around a fire. "So, Haley. Got any siblings?"
I nodded. "Yeah, I have a twin brother," I explained and Brooke locked arms with me.
"Is he hot? Cause I am soo sick of Tree Hill boys!" she said and I got a disgusted look on my face.
"Ewww, Brooke! He's my brother! I don't think he's hot!" I exclaimed and the two laughed at me.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Haley Roe," I heard a voice from behind me.
I grinned, knowing the voice well. I turned. "Nathan Scott, just who I was looking for," I said with a suductive smile.
He nodded to the girls behind me. "Brooke. Peyton."
"Hotshot. Lookin' good. How do you know our dear Haley?" Brooke asked.
He smirked and shrugged then looked back to me. "Where's the protective brother of yours?" he asked and it was my turn to shrug.
"Who cares," I replied and winked. Just then a girl walked up and put her arm around Nathan's waist.
"Hello," she said, snoodily to me. "And you are?"
I smirked. "Haley Roe."
She smiled back, fakely. "Well, Hallie, here's a little tip. Nathan's off limits," she said and then proceed to pull Nathan into a deep kiss.
I was unfazed. So he would be a challenge. That's fine by me. He actually pushed her away from him. "Rachel, leave me alone. We were just talking. Don't worry about it," he said, looking annoyed.
I smiled at this. "Yeah, Rachel. We were just talking, nothing else. Now, if you don't mind, Brooke and Peyton were about to show me to the keg," I said and looked to Nathan one last time before walking away, Brooke and Peyton following suit.
