Hey! I am sooooo sorry that it took so long to get this chapter up; I know what is going to happen but second semester has been kicking my butt! I know that it isn't that long but I promise to put up another chapter sometime this weekend. I don't necessarily think this is my best chapter, but it sets things up for the next one. So enjoy!

A/N: In case some of you are wondering the wedding won't come until another couple of chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Okay so I woke up this morning and it dawned on me…

What the hell was I thinking!?

I've known Nathan for like what a week and I am already going with him across the country to my home town to attend the wedding of my ex-boyfriend!

Okay I just need to calm down collect my thoughts and refocus. I am not crazy right? I mean I have gotten to know Nathan its not like he is some complete stranger I consider him a friend like Lucas. I am not crazy for doing this…Maybe if I keep repeating that mantra I will actually believe it…

"H.James! Are you ready yet?" I heard Brooke yell.

Brooke, Peyton and I were all going out to breakfast at Karen's since we all had the morning free. Rachel had an early class so she wouldn't be joining us. The girls still had no idea about the whole Chris ordeal.

When I got back that morning after my breakdown in front of Nathan I kind of made it clear that I didn't want to talk about my mood, so they backed off. I have been getting grief from Nathan about not letting them know what's going on, but Nathan doesn't know them like I know them, if I told them they would insist on coming with me and I really don't want them to have to go all the way back to California for a couple of days.

"Yup I'm ready let's go." I said walking out of my room and into the living room where Peyton and Brooke where waiting on the couch.

"Great!" Brooke said cheerfully.

I gave her a weird look; I mean what's there to be happy about we are just going to breakfast. Peyton caught my look and decided to fill me in.

"Brookie here is a little anxious, word is her boyfriend is working a shift this morning."

I laughed, Brooke had it bad. The three of us made our way out of the apartment and towards Karen's, we were just joking around along the way, it was the first time in a long time we had seen each other outside of cheerleading practice our schedules were hectic right now.

We arrived and got a table, when the waiter who took our order wasn't Lucas, Brooke got all pouty.

"Brooke, I am sure he'll be here later on." I told her as I laughed. Could she not go more than 10 hours without seeing the guy?

The next thing we heard was the bell under the door go off signaling the arrival of a new customer.

"Well, well didn't expect to see you here James, are you stalking me or something?"

I turned around at the sound of the voice and was greeted with the sight of three new customers. Nathan was accompanied with Lucas who was the main reason for the smile that now adorned Brooke's face and a new guy I had never met. He had an athletic build and short brown hair. They were all sweaty and looked like they had just gotten back from playing basketball.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am doing here, I am stalking you because you are the center of my universe, I am hopelessly in love with you and I want to have your kids someday." I said sarcastically.

Nathan laughed at this. Did I mention how sexy Nathan's laugh is?

I am probably not supposed to notice things like that right?

"Oh Haley, Brooke, Peyton, this is our close friend Jake Jagelski." Lucas introduced the guy with the athletic build and short brown hair.

"Hey." We all greeted him as Brooke and Lucas got into a heated make out session I saw Jake talking to Peyton. And get this she is not all broody like she usually is! This could get very interesting…

"So Hales," I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of Nathans voice.

"Yeah," I responded.

"I was thinking, since we are going to that wedding together,"

"NATHAN!" I hissed. Peyton and Brooke are sitting at the table and he is mentioning the wedding in front of them, he knows I haven't told them about it.

"Relax James, Brooke has not come up for air in the last five minutes and Peyton and Jake are to into each other to notice the outside world." He stated while smirking.

"Anyway as I was saying," He gave me a pointed look. "I have come up with a game for us to play."

"Why do I not have a good feeling about this game?" I said teasingly.

"I think you'll like it, or you might completely hate it but you're going to have to play it." He said while smirking

"Well I know that we have been getting to know each other over the past couple of weeks but we don't really know each other so I propose that we play a game of truth." He stated confidently.

Okay I am kind of confused over here, what in the world is he talking about.

"Truth?" I ask skeptically.

"You don't know what truth is?" He asked me confused.

"Not really, care to fill me in?" I asked while laughing.

"Okay so in truth there are no other rules than you have to tell the truth."

Well that's stupid.

"How do you win?" I asked.

"What is it with you James is all you care about winning?" He asked teasingly.

"Yup, pretty much." I said.

He laughed. His very sexy laugh. Ughhh I need to stop thinking things like that.

"Okay so for example let's say I ask you a question and you don't answer it. Then you get to ask me a question and if I answer it I win."

Okay so playing a game with Nathan that would ultimately bring me closer to him, yup that's exactly what I want…NOT

"Okay you're on Scott." I answered.

Why is it that when I am around Nathan my mouth always overcomes my brain?

Let me take you through it.

First his idea to become friends, my head told me not to do it, oh and will you look at that we're friends now. He told me that I should go to the wedding with him again my head told me not to, but yup you guessed it we're going together and now this?!

What is this boy doing to me?

R&R
