Lucas and Nathan were sitting in their English classroom. They didn't get too far since leaving Whitey's office. They were going through the East Side of the school when they saw of the kids coming down so they ducked into the classroom to hide.
"Do you think its ok to leave now?" Lucas asked tapping his foot repetitively on the floor.
"Dude your driving me nuts!" Nathan said flipping his hand in the air.
"Chill out Nate, I know your worried about Hales but you need to keep your cool"
"I know I am just worried I have this feeling that something is wrong with Haley. I know I am probably just being paranoid…I was always a tough guy and caused trouble and was never really scared of anything until Haley came along. If something happens to her I don't know what I will do" Nate said clutching onto the bat.
"Tell me about it man I can't imagine my life without Hales either she is like my sister…I remember this one time when we were like 12 we went to the mall on our own. She insisted that she knew the way so we were riding our bikes the way she thought was the right way. You know how stubborn Haley can be when she thinks that she right about something"
"Tell me about it" Nathan laughed
"So we are riding for about 45 minutes and I finally said something because it didn't take that long to get there. She just gave me this look…so we rode right into a cemetery and it was getting dark. It was this little cemetery on the outskirts of tree hill she totally went the opposite way. It was dark and we had no idea how to get home and no cell phones so we stayed there until it got light out. She was so scared we just laid out on the grass and I told her then that she was the sister I never had and I would always be there for her. So I want to get her just as much as you do, plus Brooke is with her and if anything happens to Brooke ill never forgive myself." Lucas explained to Nathan
"I think that we should try and move don't you" Nathan said looking at him with an anxious face. Nathan just wanted to get out of this room and find Haley. Lucas nodded to him and they both got up and walked out of the classroom very quietly and leaning down so that if anyone came they would be able to hit the floor in a second. As they were walking down the hall they heard someone rounding the corner.
"Dude someone is coming" Nathan said to Luke. Nathan put his bat in the air and leaned against the wall when the person rounded the corner Nathan grabbed him from behind and slammed him against the wall…Lucas ran up and went to hit him with the bat.
"YOOO" the guy screamed. Lucas and Nathan finally looked at who it was they were just about to hit.
"Jesus Christ man! Jake I almost bashed you in the head with a bat…what are you doing in here?" Lucas asked shaking his hand which held the bat that he was about to use on Jake.
"I was late to school today because Jenny was sick this morning, I came into school and then all of a sudden Jimmy Edwards and Jason Veitz, and a couple of other kids started shooting the school up. Do you guys know if Peyton made it out I have been looking for her but I can't find her so I am hoping that she got out"
"Yah she got out she is on the bus that went to the old gym we practice at now…have you seen Haley or Brooke?" Lucas asked him. Nathan was looking at him praying that he would say yes so he knows that Haley is ok at least.
"No man I haven't seen them… I can't believe that they are in here" he said
"Alright let's stop the chit chat and go find them" Nathan said annoyed.
Peyton stepped out of the art classroom and into the hallway she was not even being that cautious of people coming around the halls. She got through the right wing of the school and was running down the left side of the hall she wasn't even paying attention she was so close to the tutoring center she didn't even see him in front of her until it was too late. She ran right into Jason Veitz and Mike Camberisse
"Well Well if it isn't Ms. Peyton Saywer one of the captains of the Tree Hill Cheerleaders." Jason Veitz said to her pointing the gun at her. Peyton slowly moved away from him
"Jason I don't know what you think your doing but your not this type of a person to hold a gun on someone" Peyton said shaking
"But I am see when I have this gun in my hand it gives me power, and people listen and recognize me just like you are now" he said "and I will get great pleasure putting a bullet in your head for all the crap people like you did to me over the years"
"I am not scared of you or a gun" Peyton said staring at him showing no fear to him until she saw something behind Jason. Nathan, Lucas, and Jake walked through the swinging doors. "JAKE!" she screamed and went to go run to him when she heard a shot go off before she could even move "NOOOO" she screamed as she saw all three of them fall to the ground…she jumped on Jason's back and tried to get the gun away from him when another shit went off and Peyton and Jason fell to the floor too.
