Note: This story was just something I had writted during the first season of One Tree Hill. I had just gotten done watching The Breakfast Club right before watching One Tree Hill, and the story just came out. I'm finally posting it, but it's a pretty early story andmight not be all that great. Please Review, but please...be nice:)

A short time later...

"So what's going to happen on Monday?"

Everyone looked to Haley.

"I mean, it's just that...I consider all of you kinda like my friends now, you know?" she said.

"Me too." Mouth said.

"So, what happens Monday?" Haley asked again.

"Do you mean...are we still friends on Monday, like we are now?" Brooke asked.

Haley nodded. "Yeah."

"You want the truth?" Brooke said, looking at her.

Haley looked up at her and nodded. Brooke looked at Nathan, then back to Haley.

"Probably not." she said.

"I see." Haley said, looking away.

"Is that for all of us...or just Haley?" Peyton asked.

"All of you." Brooke responded as she looked at Peyton.

Nathan shook his head. "Well, that's a nice attitude."

"Nathan come on." Brooke said, looking at him. "If Mouth or Haley came up to you in the hallway when you're surrounded by your team?"

Nathan frowned at her and nodded. "Of course."

"And what about me, brother?" Lucas said, looking at Nathan. "What would you do if I came up to you in the hallway?"

Nathan looked at him, then looked away.

"Or in front of your dad?" Peyton said, watching him.

After a moment, Nathan had to admit to himself and everyone else that things hadn't changed.

"So that's the way it is, then." Haley said. "On Monday...you two go back to being the fuck-ups." she said motioning to Lucas and Peyton.

Lucas looked at her, then at Peyton and nodded.

"And they go back to Barbie and Ken." Peyton said, looking at Nathan and Brooke.

Nathan exchanged looks with Brooke, then turned to Haley. "And you guys go back to being the nerds."

Everyone was silent for a few minutes after that, then, Mouth cleared his throat.

"Is anyone writing the essay?" he asked.

Everyone looked expectantly at him, and after a minute, he nodded.

"Right," he said. "I am."

Brooke smiled softly and got to her feet, holding out her hand to him. "Come on. I'll help."

Peyton smiled as she watched the beauty queen and the brain go off together to write a paper. She smiled at Lucas, then turned her attention to Haley, who sat dejectedly to the side. An idea popping into her head, she jumped to her feet and pulled Haley up.

"Come on." she said, pulling Haley into the librarian's office, shutting the door and closing the blinds behind her.

Back on the stairwell, the Scott brothers sat in silence for a few minutes, before the youngest began to talk.

"You know...you really are better off without him." Nathan said quietly. "You and your mom are."

Lucas lifted his eyes and nodded gently. "I know."

Nathan nodded and was quiet for a moment, then he looked up at Lucas and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry I haven't gotten to know you." he said.

"Goes both ways, bro." Lucas said.

Nathan nodded. "Yeah...but I don't know. Maybe when Dan chills out a bit, you know? Maybe we could get to know eachother then."

Lucas smiled and gave him an apologetic smile. "Yeah...maybe."

Nathan smiled back and then turned his attention elsewhere. It was an empty promise each had made. They both knew that there would never be a time in the near future for them to get to know eachother as brothers. Dan Scott couldn't chill out. He wouldn't chill out, and both Scott boys knew that.

"Ahem..."

Both boys looked up and quickly got to their feet as Peyton and Haley came out of the library office. The black leggings that Peyton had been wearing underneath her short plaid skirt had been taken off and were now molded to the legs of Haley. The tank top that Haley had worn under her overalls had been ripped off to just below her bust line, showing off the slender hollow's of her stomach. Peyton had also given her one of the plaid vests she was wearing to go over the tank top, left unbuttoned of course. Haley's hair was put in a pony tail and gelled to give it a hard spiky appearance and with the added make up, Haley definitely appeared to have a ruff edge. Lucas grinned at Peyton, winking to her, then offered his arm to Haley.

"Your escort awaits..." Lucas said with a slight bow.

Haley giggled and took his offered arm. "Why thank you."

Peyton chuckled watching them walk off. She smiled and looked back as Nathan came to stand behind her.

"That was nice of you." he commented.

Peyton turned to him and gently pulled his face to hers. A soft sigh escaped as their lips met in a kiss, and their arms embraced eachothers. Breaking the kiss, Peyton leaned back and looked at him.

"We have until Monday before we go back to who we used to be. Let's not waste that time."
