By the way, sorry for the long update. My teacher are such hoes, they want me to repeat. Arn't I smart? Or just too smart for them :P

"How about we start the bidding at twenty dollars?"

"Twenty-five!"

"Forty!"

"Forty eight!"

"One hundred and eight dollars!"

"Sold!"

"I never knew you had a thing for Nathan." Haley said to Brooke as she grinned and held the money in the air.

"Tutor-girl, you are so naïve." She said happily. "This is for you."

"What!?" Haley almost screamed, turning her body to fully face her friend. "You bought Nathan for me? What about Kaylob?"

"He is going to be busy tonight." Brooke shrugged.

"What do you mean?"

Whiteys voice came booming from the microphone. "Next up we have a new player... Kaylob Connors, everybody."

Haley's jaw dropped. "You should of read the scheduele." Brooke noted.

"Should we start the bidding at ten dollars?"

Some girls from the front row wooed at him. "Twenty-five."

"Forty." Another girl said.

Something in Haley's head clicked, and she finally understood. "Brooke you are so not-"

"Fifty-five dollars!" She shouted interrupting Haley.

"Brooke!"

The other girls from the first row called out again. "Seventy!"

"You so owe me, Hales." Brooke pouted. "Eighty!"

"I don't owe you anything!"

"Ninety!"

There was a long pause. "Ninety dollars going once."

The girls who had gathered up their money began to silently cheer, and Brooke was scrounging through her purse for last change. "Save it, Brooke." Haley told her quietly.

Brooke however was determined to buy Kaylob, and tipped her wallet upside. "Aha! Ninety dollars and 35 cents!"

Whitey cocked a eyebrow. "Your a bit greedy tonight, Miss Davis." Everyone laughed, and Brooke just showed a dimple smile and shrugged. He looked over to the over girls who shook their heads sadly. "Sold!"

"I hate you."

--

"Have I told you how much I hate you?" Haley mumbled to Brooke as the players began to move out from backstage. Girls held up cards with the boy's last names on them to notify that they won them.

"I know." Brooke smiled, holding up her 'Connors' sign. "But you'll thank me later."

"Have you added Kaylob in this whole plan of yours?"

"Of course." She answered back calmly, before pursing her lips together. She looked to her side. "Kaylob!" She shouted to get his attention. Haley gulped.

Kaylob rolled his eyes and shook his head at his card in Brooke's hands. "I would of figured my own girlfriend could of bought me."

"Oh well. Your all mine now." Brooke said taking him by the collar and dragging him out of the hall. "Bye Haley!" Brooke shouted over her shoulder.

Haley sighed and looked at her card once again, before holding it up at her waist.

"Oh great." Lucas sighed walking up to her. "Did you just buy me to talk to me? Cause that would of cost a lot more that eighty-three dollars."

Haley bit her lip, but the conversation next to them sparked their attention.

"I didn't buy you, Nathan."

"Then who did?"

Almost on cue, the curly blond and the basketball player looked at Haley and Lucas as if they could feel they were watching.

"You bought me, Haley?" Nathan smiled. He was about to say something else but stopped before the words exited his mouth because of Lucas.

"Great, you wouldn't even pay eighty-three dollars to talk to me." Lucas grumbled, looking at Peyton's 'Scott' card. "Let's go then."

"Luke." Haley said softly to get him to listen to her, but instead walked off in the other direction with Peyton.

"Tough day I suppose." Nathan began quietly, pursing his lips together nervously. Haley didn't reply, instead kept looking in the other couples direction. "C'mon, let's go."

Nathan held out his hand for her to take it. She looked at it and hesitantly took it. She could feel the electric shock from her fingers travel through her body, and she could also hear Nathan's breath hitch slightly. She looked at him and he shot her a nervous smile before they walked out of the hall.

"Seeing I'm your slave for the night, what do you want to do first, James?"

She smiled a loving smile – one not many people have seen in a while. "How do you feel about Mac and Cheese, my friend?"

--

Lucas angrily positioned himself to shoot for the hoop. He let it flow through his fingers, but it missed by a metre. It was his idea to come here, and even though he is Peyton's slave, she didn't want to increase his bad mood.

"How could Haley do that?" He said, continuing where their conversation left off.

"I doubt she is cheating on him, Luke."

"That was just a thought." He replied coldly, sitting down next to Peyton on the seat. "I mean, if they are just tutoring, why couldn't she tell me?"

"Because you would react how you are now." Her comment earned a glare from Lucas, but she ignored it. "Look, she's your best-friend. She has to have a reason. What did she say last night?"

"Nothing. She just told me not to tell Kaylob."

"Well, are you?"

"Yes."

"Luke!" Peyton said bewildered. "She asked something of you, you don't just go and betray her like that."

"Like she betrayed me?" He noted angrily.

"Just talk to her. She's obviously hiding something, so get her to give that to you."

Lucas nodded but kept his head down. "And what if she doesn't?"

She turned her head to look at him properly. "If you don't care, leave it and live on with your life without Haley. But if you really want to know the truth on why she is hiding something from you, then take it."

"What if I don't want to take it." Lucas pouted.

"Don't you want to take it?"

He looked at her sternly, before letting out a heavy sigh. "Yes."

"Then Lucas Scott, as you as my slave-boy, I order you to take it."

--

"No!" Brooke shouted. Kaylob let out a deep sigh. "You can't just keep doing this to her whenever she's somewhere your not!"

Foolish girl. "Yes. I can actually." He shrugged, and turned to walk away to his destination. He didn't hear Brooke talk to him after that, and he was glad. He didn't want to hurt Brooke, because it wasn't her fault that she found out. It was Haley's, she obviously wasn't hiding it well enough. When he got to a pedestrian crossing, he sighed and muttered "Stupid boy-toy auction."

If Brooke Davis hadn't bought him, he wouldn't be walking to his girlfriend's favorite restaurant on the river walk. If anyone was a slave to her, she'd take them there first. He wished he knew who she or Brooke had bought, but unfortunately being backstage wasn't the best place to watch the show. Luckily though, the river walk was not far away. In fact, he could see the glimmering lights beginning to light his path.

The lights and his vision got brighter, and when his eyes adjusted to it, he froze in place. No, he wasn't expecting that. He wasn't expecting that at all. Without thinking, he lunged forward and let his anger overflow him.

"Mac and Cheese? Seriously Haley?"

"Food of the Gods."

Nathan cocked a eyebrow. "That's weird. I never knew we had Mac and Cheese on our menus."

Haley smiled and rolled her eyes. "Has anyone ever told you how cocky you are, Nathan Scott?"

He smiled and shoved his hands into his pockets while they walked along the river. "Quite a few, really. I'd give you a list, but I left my spare copy at home."

Haley let out a suppressed laugh and ran her cold hand through her chocolate locks. "I'll make sure to remind you."

A few moments of comfortable silence passed before Nathan broke it. "So, whats next?"

She shrugged. "What are boy-toys forced to do anyway?"

Nathan stopped, causing Haley to follow suite. She turned her body fully to face him. "Well, we're your slaves, I think you got that." He found himself staring at her rose coloured lips. Slightly off-colour in some places, which made Nathan a bit curious... Is that natural? He ignored his thoughts. "There's a goodnight kiss too." He didn't mean to say that, but staring at her lips only drew him inches closer.

Haley felt her chest tighten. "Is there now?" Nathan was hunched over slightly.

"Yeah."

She bit her lip nervously, thinking about what could happen. What about Kaylob? What about Lucas? What about herself? What could she gain from this? She could gain love, protection, faith. Exactly what she needed... She needed a protector.

"Goodnight, Nathan Scott." She quickly stood on her toes, closed her eyes pressed her lips against his. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she melted away into the kiss like ice in fire. Their lips moved in their constant motion. Her hands gripped the back of his collar as his hands founds her hips. She was pretty sure she could pass out then, but it was so passionate, she didn't want to stop for air.

Unfortunately, someone did want them to stop. She felt his lips being ripped from hers, and when her eyes opened, her jaw dropped and let out a scream which bought bystander's attention. A scream which made his head turn furiously to show his now darkened, furiated eyes and his snarled facial expression. It was the face of a killer indeed.

A man pulled Kaylob off Nathan, and he backed away from the star basketball player. Nathan leaned on his elbows to wipe the blood flowing from his bottom lip. Everyone had been crowding Nathan to see if he was okay.

They never noticed Kaylob pull Haley away.
