Chapter 17

"You seriously expect me to believe that?" I asked as laughter bubbled in my throat.

"Hales I swear to god the librarian was checking me out!" Nathan exclaimed with a horrified look on his face.

"Nathan, the librarian is a 75 year old man named Charles." I stated incredulously while still laughing uncontrollably.

"So I can't help it that I am irresistible to men and women, old and young." Nathan stated with a cocky ass smirk on his face.

"Okay hot shot let's get to class." I said while shaking my head at his cockiness and walking a little bit ahead of him leading him in the direction of our English lit class.

"You know you want me James!" I heard Nathan shout from behind me while catching the attention of some of the students surrounding us. Nathan jogged to catch up with me and soon he was standing next to me wrapping one of his arms around my shoulder.

"Well then it's a good thing I already have you Scott isn't it?"

"I would say so. You are the luckiest girl in this school." Nathan responded teasingly.

"Why yes I am just so lucky that somebody of your royal status has chosen me as a girlfriend." I said sarcastically.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a sarcasm problem James?"

"All my life." I answered Nathan question with a cheeky grin as he laughed.

"Come on, English class awaits." Nathan took my hand and laced our fingers together walking into our classroom; we were a little late so there weren't that many seats left. And as soon as we walked into the classroom I could feel everyone eyes on us. News of me and Nathan being a couple has spread but no one really believed it. Brooke said that it was because the girls of Duke were in denial that the big man on campus is now officially off the market.

"Look there's two seats." Nathan led me to the two chairs that were available in the middle of the classroom.

And guess who was sitting right next to the open seats? Well if you said Stacie then ding, ding, ding! Johnny tell them what they've won!

"Nathan! Where have you been? I haven't seen you around in a while?" Stacie asked Nathan in an overly annoying and perky voice.

She is such a whore.

"Hey Stacie." Nathan replied less than enthused. "I was in California for a while with Haley." Nathan and I had already taken our seats and he put an arm around my shoulder as a snuggled into his chest.

Hey, if she was going to hit on my boyfriend in front of me I might as well show her that he isn't falling for it right?

"Oh hey Haley." Stacie said acknowledging me for the first time.

"Stacie." I answered curtly.

"Okay class! Turn to page 299 in your book, today we will be discussing the underlying themes in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men." The professor walked into the classroom and laid his briefcase on his desk while turning to the chalk board to write down some notes. I was never so thankful for a distraction such as this one because I swear if I had to talk to Stacie any longer I would have strangled her for the way she was looking at Nathan.

I straightened up and shrugged Nathan's arm off of my shoulder while opening my notebook and writing down the notes that the professor had just put up on the board.

I heard Nathan laugh softly from beside me. "Getting into tutor girl mode?" He said me teasingly. Nathan has spent enough time with me and the girls to catch onto their little nickname for me. During one of our games of truth he had asked my why Brooke, Peyton and Rachel called my tutor girl and I explained to him that they had come up with the name when I started tutoring in high school.

"Of course." I whispered back answering his previous question.

"Is it wrong that it's kind of a turn on?" He whispered back to me and I turned to look at him to see a smirk on his face.

"Nathan." I said while laughing softly. I leaned over to hit him lightly on the chest.

"What? All I'm saying is if you're up for a little tutor session in my dorm room tonight then I'm totally down for it." Nathan said still whispering as he wiggled his eyebrows up and down while trying to contain his laugher as my face heated up and turned a few shades pink.

I looked at him for a minute studying his face when I broke out into a slight smile. "Maybe." I answered back and turned around to face the front of the classroom but I just happened to catch Nathan's smirk widen even more as he leaned back into his chair.

"Okay class, I'll see you again Wednesday, you're dismissed." I started to put my books in my bag as all the other students stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"Hales, I totally forgot that Coach K wanted me to meet him in like five minutes." I looked up and saw Nathan with a look of panic on his face. I wouldn't blame him you never want to keep Coach K waiting. Ever.

"Yeah, go ahead, I am going to go meet Rachel for lunch anyway, we haven't really talked that much recently and we are going to go catch up."

"Alright." Nathan leaned over and gave me a quick kiss but I had other things in mind, as he was about to pull away I grabbed his shirt and deepened our kiss and a smile formed on my face as I heard his suppress a moan.

And let me tell you that me deepening our kiss had nothing to do with the fact that I was well aware that Stacie was still in the seat next to me and Nathan. Okay I lied, so maybe she had something to do with it. But hey she has got to know that Nathan is mine and mine only.

"Mmmm was that a preview of our tutoring session tonight?" Nathan asked teasingly while smirking.

"Bye Nathan." I said while laughing as he sent me a wink and ran out of the classroom to go meet Coach K.

"Well, well, well looks like it's just you and me slut." I looked over to see Stacie looking at me with and evil grin on her face.

God I hate this girl.

"Look Stacie I don't have time for your crap I have to be somewhere right now." I moved to pick up my bag off the ground.

"Listen Holly I've liked Nathan for a long time and I am not going to let some stupid slut like you take him away from me. Just know that if this little fling between you and him continues I will make your life a living hell, along with your band of skanks."

Oh no she didn't. Stacie can rag on me all she wants but she crosses the line when she insults Brooke, Peyton and Rachel.

I laughed bitterly at her before I got up and walked towards her getting dangerously close to her face. "First of all never insult my friends, second of all you are delusional if you think that what Nathan and I have is just a little "fling" and I am not going to like some two-faced bitch like you threaten me because you can't handle the fact that Nathan Scott isn't falling for your bullshit. And honestly you can flirt with 

Nathan all you want because I know that he is not interested in you at all. In fact all your flirting makes you look a bit desperate sweetie." I said in a sickeningly sweet voice. And before Stacie could even reply I grabbed my stuff and left the room. I had to go meet Rachel, and boy did I have some things to tell her.

"Rach you will not believe what happened to me today!" I was still angry from my encounter with Stacie and I needed someone to vent to. And Rachel was the perfect victim.

"Hey H.James." Rachel greeted me as I sat down in the seat across from her. We were in a small outdoor restaurant right by the University.

"That cheer whore threatened me!" I said heatedly.

"Stacie?" Rachel asked confused.

"No, Brooke." I said sarcastically. "Of course it was Stacie Rach-ho!" I said slightly yelling.

"Whoa, retract the claws girlie." Rachel make the sound of a hissing cat while making my laughing at her antics in the process.

"Sorry." I apologized while rubbing the sides of my forehead.

"It's okay, so what did the bitch do to get you this worked up?

"She told me that if I continued to date Nathan then she would make my life a living hell." I said anger still radiating off of me.

"Hales, don't worry about her she's just jealous."

"I know but she keeps flirting with Nathan and its really beginning to piss me off." I whined to Rachel.

"Look, Haley do you trust Nathan?"

"Of course." I said without hesitation.

"Then you have nothing to worry about." Rachel said while giving me a comforting smile.

"Thanks Rach I needed someone to calm me down." I said as I sent her a smile.

"No problem girlie, trust me I would take a freaking out Haley over a freaking out Brooke any day." I laughed as she said this agreeing with her statement.

"So tell me about Nathan." Rachel said excitedly.

"That's right you haven't really gotten to know him considering you have been MIA for the last week." I said shooting her a look.

"What? I can't help it if I spend a lot of time with my hot boyfriend." Rachel said innocently.

"Who by the way I still haven't met." I said giving her a look.

"Patience is a virtue James, you'll meet him soon. Anyway back to Nathan."

"Oh yeah, well Nathan's great, he sweet and funny and a good listener and -- "

"Hales it me, I'm not your mom." Rachel interrupted me.

I gave her a confused look. "Well tell me the good stuff." Rachel looked at me expectedly.

I gave her a look telling her that I had no idea what she meant. "Jeez do I have to spell it out for you tutor girl?" Rachel asked a little annoyed that I still hadn't answered her question. A few moments of silence passed before Rachel spoke up.

"What's his shoe size?! You know what they say Hales the bigger the shoe the bigger the -- "

"RACHEL!"
