Summary Nathan Scott is the most popular guy in school and Haley James is just an average girl who happens to be friends with Nathan's half-brother, Lucas. What happens when each of their groups of friends end up staying next door to each other all summer?
A Summer to Remember
Chapter 2
The sun was shining bright as Nathan pulled his mustang convertible from Dan Scott Motors into the parking lot of the condo complex that was going to be his home for the next 3 months. It felt good to be away from his parents for the summer.
"This is going to be the best summer ever!" Tim shouted as he ran to the door marked with a big "10".
They had gotten a condo on the third floor. The two lower floors had 4 condos each on them, but the third only had two. Tim opened the door, walked in, and threw his bag into the middle of the kitchen floor.
Peyton walked in behind him. She was glad that she got to spend this summer with her friends and away from her usual life. Ever since her mom had passed away, she had had a really hard time having fun, and hoped that this summer would help her remember how. "Tim, if you're going to keep your crap on the floor this whole summer then I might as well just kill you now." She said annoyed.
Nathan walked in last. The first thing he noticed was the huge big screen TV in the corner. Paying a lot for this condo was so going to pay off. Nathan made his way towards one of the bedrooms and put his bag down on the queen sized bed.
"Nate, where am I going to sleep if you get one bedroom and Peyton gets the other one?" Tim asked confused.
"The couch," Nathan answered with a smirk.
"What! Come on man, that's not fair."
"Tim, you'll be able to stay up all night playing NBA live. Tell me how that's not fair?" Nathan knew that the one thing that could get Tim to sleep on a lumpy couch all summer was the promise of his favorite video game 24/7.
"Score! This summer's gonna rock!" Tim shouted as he got out the Playstation 2 he had packed and started setting it up.

"Lucas Eugene Scott! This is so not funny!" Brooke yelled as she stared at the shack that they were parked in front of. "Please tell me you are kidding."
"Why? This place isn't good enough for you?" Lucas pretended to be hurt. Just then, one of the shutters fell from the side of the window.
"No! It's not!" Brooke screamed as Haley chuckled. She knew that this wasn't the real condo. "I would sooner die then spend my entire summer living in that cardboard box!"
"Ok, fine." Lucas laughed. "The real place is about 10 minutes away." Both Lucas and Haley started laughing hysterically and Brooke hit them both on the shoulder.
Then minutes later, Lucas pulled his 1998 Jeep into a much nicer parking lot next to a black convertible. Brooke instantly hopped out, grabbed her purse, and skipped up to the condo on the third floor that was going to be their home for the summer.
"Ok, I guess I'll take her suitcase up." Lucas said sarcastically as he grabbed his bag and a few of Brooke's. Brooke had seriously over packed; it looked as if she had packed everything in her closet as well as everything in her mom's. He picked them up and started the long hike to the third floor.
By this time, Haley was out of the car as well and searching through the trunk for her bag underneath the rest of Brooke's. "Finally," she said when she found it and yanked on the handle. It didn't budge so she rearranged some of Brooke's bags and gave it one more hard pull. To her surprise, it came out right away, causing her to fall backwards on her butt. Wow. I hope no one saw that, she thought.
Haley started walking towards the building, but decided that she should probably grab a few of Brooke's bags so Lucas wouldn't have to make so many trips to get them all.
Meanwhile, Brooke was already settled in and watching TV on the couch when Lucas entered condo number 9.
"Hey Broody, what took you so long?" Brooke asked with a grin.
"I was bringing up 3 of your 5 suitcases." He replied in an amused tone.
"Oh, sorry. Sometimes I forget that this summer I won't have a butler or anything." She laughed. This summer was going to be a whole new experience for her. She was very used to being rich, and popular, and basically lazy. She never really had to do anything for herself…ever. She was looking at these next few months as a chance to prove to herself and the world that she could do it.
"That's ok. I'll go get your other stuff after I take a look at that view." He said as he opened a sliding door and stepped out onto a covered balcony. A few seconds later he was joined by Brooke and they just stood there looking out at the ocean.
