Again, I want you to know that my story is not 100% accurate based on the actual TV series, One Tree Hill. The main character's ages are going to be changed so they are similar to fit my story line. ALSO! I know this is a long chapter, but I'm still deciding the length each of these will be. I own absolutely nothing (sadly) and most of my work is credited to the crew of OTH, the other parts being my individual ideas.

Just saying this chapter is also pretty short, but shorter chapters mean I can update it much faster!

Later that day, Davis was sitting with his friends as usual, and was surprised when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned to the familiar girl and swallowed the food he had in his mouth.
"Hey!"
"Hi, this is embarrassing but would you mind if I sat with you today?"
"Not at all, sit down," Davis smiled as he patted the seat next to him. "So I never caught your name, I'm Davis by the way."
"Oh, right, I'm Sawyer."
"I see. So you're the cousin Lydia talked about while she was on vacation?"
"And you must be the late night phone calls," Sawyer laughed.
"Yep that's me. So where are you from, Sawyer?"
"New Zealand, my parents moved there from Tree Hill right after I was born."
"That's really cool. I've always loved New Zealand."
"Maybe we could hang out sometime and I could tell you about it." Sawyer gave Davis a flirty smile.
"Yeah that would be fine. How's today after school? Just meet me in the quad."
"Oh...um...yeah that should be fine."
"It was a fun lunch with you, see you later," said Davis after they heard the bell ring.

Davis threw his trash away and made his way to the exit of the cafeteria to find Jude waiting for him, looking upset and angry.
"You okay Jude?"
"No."
"Well what's wrong then?"
"She likes you."
"How can you even tell? We barely know each other."
"When I talk to her she's a sarcastic bitch and when she was talking to you she was blushing and all smiley."
"C'mon Jude, if you were to ask a random girl out she'd say yes right away, but you have to like the one that wouldn't?"
"Yeah. There's just something about her."
"Besides, nothing's gonna happen between us. Ever. I have Lydia. And even though she and I are on some kind of break because of her parents, I still love her and wouldn't do anything like that."
"Whatever you say."
"Look, this has been a fun little chat, but I have to get to class. See ya," Davis said before nodding at his brother and walking out of the room.
Jude remained by the exit as he watched Sawyer throw her garbage away, and couldn't help but smile when they made eye contact-even though she rolled her eyes in response.

Davis sat in the quad waiting for Sawyer after school for what seemed like forever. Finally when he saw her walk through the front doors of the school he smiled and stood.
"Sorry I took so long, I had to go tell Lydia I didn't need a ride today."
"You're fine...did you happen to tell her why?"
"I just said I was gonna hang out with a new friend, don't worry. You two make a really cute couple."
"Thanks, I really mean it. Now let's get going."

The two sat in Davis' car in an awkward silence as they waited.
"He's normally out here by now," Davis sighed.
"I don't really mind waiting."
"Oh there he is, thank god."

Jude approached the car while he was on his phone, he glanced up and saw Sawyer in the passenger seat and his heart skipped a beat. He finally reached the car and climbed into the backseat.
"Take long enough?" Davis sarcastically asked.
"Sorry...I had to take care of some things."
"Oh by the way, this is Sawyer, but you two have already met, right?"
"How could I forget?" Sawyer smiled at Jude.

They pulled into the driveway and Jude was out of the car before Davis could even put it into park.
"Wait this is your house?" Sawyer asked.
"Yeah, why what's wrong with it."
"I'm moving into that one, two doors down from you."
"No way! Small world."
"Yeah..."
"Things seemed pretty tense between you and Jude, did something happen?"
"Not really. He just isn't the kind of guy I like to be around."
"And what kind of guy do you like being around?"
"I don't really know. I'm kind of picky about who I'm friends with."
"Lucky me," Davis smiled, "well let's get inside."

"My parents aren't home. My dad's a movie producer, and my mom's a costume designer for whatever movies he does so they always go on trips."
"That seems really cool actually. Being alone for really long periods of time."
"Well I have Jude so I'm not exactly alone," said Davis while he sat down on the couch, "well come sit."
"What do you want to do?" she asked.
"We could watch a movie."
"That sounds fine."

An hour and a half later, the movie was finally over.
"Did we really just waste that much of our lives?" Davis laughed.
"I think so."
Just then, Davis' phone began to ring. "It's Lydia."
Sawyer snapped into focus and paid close attention to Davis as he answered the call.
"Hey Lyd! Uh yeah, they're upstairs. Let me go get her." Davis muted the microphone on his phone and looked at Sawyer. "Jude? You told her that friend was Jude and decided you just weren't going to tell me?"
"I figured it wasn't that important! What does she want?"
"She wants to talk to you."
"Okay give me it."
He cautiously handed Sawyer the phone.
"Hello? No nothing's happening. When? Yeah that's fine. Bye," she hung up and handed the phone back to Davis, "was that so hard?"
"Why was Lydia calling for you?"
"Because I'm staying with her while my parents get everything moved. She just wanted to tell me what time to be home."
"Oh...that was a lot simpler than I thought it was gonna be."
"How complicated could something like that be?"
Davis laid his head back and let out a deep sigh. "What time did she say?"
"Like 10 minutes from now."
He quickly sat back up, "oh. We should really get going."
They both stood and Sawyer got her stuff together.

The ride home was mostly silent, besides the radio and a few sounds that came from the open windows. They stopped outside Lydia's house and Davis looked at Sawyer.
"It's a good thing my windows are tinted, huh?"
"It's dark outside anyways."
"Are you okay?"
"What was this, Davis? You invited me over to talk about New Zealand and we didn't even talk about it once."
"We just hung out, friends tend to do that."
"We barely even know each other. I don't know you or your brother yet here I am getting stared at by him and sneaking around with you because you're dating my cousin and..."
"I'll tell her if you want."
"No...no don't do that your relationship is already at stake and you don't need that."
"So none of this happened?"
"None of it."
"Not even this?" And before Sawyer could respond Davis leaned forward and kissed her. But she didn't pull away.
"I should go."
"Sawyer, I'm sorry."
"I...goodbye."

"Lydia, is she here yet?" Haley called to Lydia from the kitchen.
"Lemme see," said Lydia. She peered out of the window, "yeah but they're just sitting in their car."
"Why're they sharing a car again?"
"Jude's car broke down last week."
Haley walked into the same room, "what's taking so long?"
"Oh here she comes!"
"Lydia get out of the window before she sees you!" she laughed.

Sawyer quietly walked in the front door and turned to see both Haley and Lydia sitting in their livingroom looking at her.
"I'm on time!"
"I know you are. But we just wanted to talk to you."
She walked into the room and sat down, "about what?"
"Jude," Lydia butted in, "he sometimes puts on this nice guy shell but deep down he's a player. He always has been and we just want you to be careful."
"There's nothing going on between us...we're just friends."
"That's how he starts with most girls."
"Okay well I'll keep that in mind," said Sawyer. She stood and turned to walk out of the room, and once she was gone Haley looked at Lydia and sighed.

I know this one's pretty short too, but Chapter 4 is going up almost right after this one. As always, reviews are my best friend.
