Chapter 3

After showering Nathan got dressed and wore denim blue jeans and a blue polo shirt with a pair of trainers, he walked down the stairs where Lucas and Keith were sat at the coffee table finishing eating there waffles.

''Hey Nathan'' Lucas called over his shoulder; Lucas had his back to the doorway where Lucas was sat. Lucas looked over his shoulder and grinned and his brother. Well you couldn't really call Nathan and Lucas brothers yet, Nathan was happy about that. Nathan didn't know it but Lucas was happy about that too.

''Hey Luke, Keith'' Nathan returned the grin to Lucas, Keith didn't hear, all of his attention was on finishing those waffles. Nathan walked further into the kitchen and let out a small groan when he realised the waffles were gone, Keith must have been paying a bit of attention because he replied.

''Sorry Nate, those waffles were just sitting there and they looked too good to just sit on the plate waiting for you to get your butt out of bed'' Keith laughed as did Lucas. Nathan really liked his uncle Keith and he was jealous of Lucas who got to have him for 17 years, Heck Nathan felt lucky for having him for just a week. He was a great father to Lucas and Nathan knew he would be an amazing father to their unborn child.

''Nah, its ok I wasn't hungry'' Nathan quickly lied; Nathan had got good at lying over the years he lied to everyone, girls, cops, his parents. He always regretted that he lied to his mom, she didn't deserve those lies. ''Um, Luke you ready to go?'' Nathan asked he just really wanted to get this day over with.

''Now?'' Lucas raised his eyebrow ''we've still got ages and I've got to pick Brooke up, her cars broke down. How about you go to the cafe and meet my mom and you can get something to eat, because I know your pissed off about those waffles'' Lucas laughed. Damn Nathan thought as Lucas continued ''you can take my car and I'll can take Keith's then we'll meet you at the cafe on the way to school, and you can meet Hales too''

Hales? Oh Haley James, Nathan was sick of hearing about her and to be honest Lucas didn't shut up about her, apparently she was smart, she read for fun and was supposed to be valedictorian. Dork Nathan thought when Lucas told him about her, he just hoped he'd make some other friends soon. Lucas's other friends sounded cool he'd already met Skills, Junk, Fergie and Mouth but he had yet to meet Brooke Davis or Jake Jasomething. Haley James however didn't sound cool.

He was glad Lucas had such good friends and he was happy to be bonding more with Lucas but would he just shut up about them already?

''Sure'' Lucas threw Nathan the keys and Nathan caught them effortlessly and made his way to the car where he drove to Karen's cafe.

Haley James had a lot on her mind this morning. Love. She didn't know why she didn't love Jake and she didn't know if he thought it exists, guys believe in love right?

Haley walked into Karen's cafe and figured Karen would be in the back, she walked to the counter singing, not noticing the raven haired boy sat in a booth in the corner who was intrigued by her singing.

Nathan was brought out of his daze by a voice; the owner of that voice was walking around the counter cleaning it. She was beautiful, she had goldy blond, wavy hair which she was wearing down, and she was wearing jeans, a purple long sleeved top and uggs. It all looked great with her petite figure. Nathan soon recognised who it was, Haley James. He'd recognised her from a picture from Luke's room she had brown straight hair then and she was pulling a stupid voice, he thought she was gorgeous then but she looked even better in person.

Nathan realised she hadn't saw him yet and was stunned by her voice. Well her voice it was indescribable it was like all the praised words mixed together and that still wouldn't have been close.

'' Here's a thought, it's all that we've got in the world

If we let it be, were as only as good as the thought...''

Nathan hadn't heard that song before but it made him want to. He then realised she'd stopped singing, he wanted to make his presence known but he didn't want to scare her. He crept round to the door while her back was facing it and opened it and acted as he was only just coming in.

Haley quickly spun round to the door, she recognised the face but words wouldn't escape her throat. This guy was breathtaking. She too had seen a picture of him that Lucas shown her from a Christmas a year ago. He had perfect raven black hair and muscles you could slightly see under his shirt.

She suddenly snapped into reality, what was she doing? She had a boyfriend? Who she lo- liked and as far as she'd heard Nathan Scott was an ass. A hot ass. She immediately went red as what she just thought. That sounded like something Brooke would say! Brooke would defiantly have something to say about him...

Haley Stop! Haley thought to herself she went even redder when she realised he'd caught her checking him out for like 10 seconds without saying a word.

She coughed nervously ''Um, Hey Hi. Um Welcome to Karen's Cafe'' Jeez why was she stuttering? Great Haley now he thinks you're a freak! She quickly shown him to a table and went to the back to find Karen who was nowhere to be seen she must have just opened the cafe up for her and left.

Meanwhile Nathan was just sat at his table unable to contain his smile, Haley James checked him out. He couldn't help but laugh at the way she blushed when he caught her.

He sat up when he saw Haley walking back to his table carrying a notepad and pencil.

''Your Nathan Scott, right?'' Haley asked, already knowing the answer

''Yeah'' Nathan answered with his smirk plastered on her face ''Your Haley James, right?'' Nathan asked copying what she'd said before.

Haley embarrassingly blushed again ''Yeah, I'm Luke's best friend'' She stuck her hand out for him to shake which he immediately shook

''The brother'' Nathan said trying to keep his cool, what was this girl doing to him?

''Oh I know'' Haley answered flirtatiously, what was she doing she had a boyfriend!

Jake, The subject of Jake played on her mind again. Well mainly just love, the question kept playing on her mind. Was she in love with Jake?

''Nathan Scott, can I ask you something?'' she wanted to know what a guy felt about love and now she would.

''Um sure'' Nathan gestured for her to sit which she did

''I know this sounds kind of weird, but I don't really know you and if I ask anyone else they'd ask loads of questions and I don't want to worry them because-''

''Haley, the question?'' Wow he thought, she rambles for sure. He could listen to her ramble all day but he really wanted to know what was bothering her.

''Do you believe it love?'' Haley asked cautiously, huh? Nathan thought, while Haley was thinking Yes Haley, now he does think you're a freak! ''Oh my god that sounds like cheesy pick up line or something right? I just wanted to know for like guys in general not just you, I wasn't flirting. Why would you care if I was flirting anyway? Great. Reading by the expression on your face, yes you do think I'm a freak. That's just gr-''

''Haley'' Nathan cut her off again; she was having a full blown ramble. Her arms were flying about she looked so cute. Wait cute? Nathan doesn't say cute Jeez what was Tree Hill doing to him? He then realised he'd left Haley wondering what he was going to say. ''I don't think you're a freak, as far as I know you sound pretty awesome'' He then saw her suddenly looking relieved but still weary as she knew he had something else to say. ''..And you're asking the wrong guy, I don't. But other guys do, my Uncle Cooper, He's in love.. Even though she left him. He sure believes in it.''

Haley was suddenly relieved but she regretted asking. ''Oh'' was all she said.

''Why d'you ask?'' he wondered, he knew she didn't want any questions he just hoped she'd tell him.

''Hey Hales, Nate'' Nathan groaned as Lucas and a brown haired girl walked in the cafe

''Hey Luke'' Haley grinned ''Hey Tigger'' Haley got up and hugged her two best friends

''Hey Lucas'' Nathan nodded to Lucas and the brown haired girl, he presumed this way Brooke well Lucas did say he was picking her up this morning

''This is Brooke Davis, Brooke this is Nathan'' Brooke done a small wave to Nathan and he smiled at her ''Hey'' he replied.

Haley looked over at Nathan ''Oh my god, I'm so sorry. What would you like to eat?''

''Um, just a coffee nothing to eat thanks'' Nathan grinned at Haley which cause butterflies to erupt in her stomach. You're dating Jake, You like Jake, Jake's awesome. She kept repeating in her head. It didn't matter anyway, these are just feelings. It's not like Nathan feels the same way she kept telling her self, Haley James couldn't have been more wrong about that.

''Ok, you guys want anything?'' Lucas and Brooke shook their heads so Haley went to the coffee pot and returned and poured Nathan his coffee and sat back down,

''Luke, where's your Mom? What if were late?'' Lucas and Brooke laughed at their friend; Nathan just looked confused he didn't even know when school started.

''Relax Hales, We've still got 20 minutes and we have to set off then to get there early because Nathan needs to meet with the principal or something.'' Lucas explained, him and Brooke laughed again. Nathan did this time to until he noticed the embarrassed expression on her face, then she started laughing to. So joined in again, it felt nice laughing with Haley, really nice.

The door opened again and a guy there age walked in he had shaggy brown hair and was the same height as Lucas; he was wearing jeans, trainers, a black t-shirt with a brown jacket over the top.

Nathans smile immediately faded when he saw Haley run over and kiss the guy, which didn't go unnoticed by Brooke.

Nathan then realised it that 'kiss' was turning into a make out session and awkwardly looked away he didn't really know what to do, Brooke and Lucas were too involved in their conversation to notice how awkward Nathan felt. This must be a common thing, as Brooke and Lucas didn't seem fazed.

When they finally broke apart they walked back to the table hand in hand which caused Nathan's blood boil, but what could he do he's know the girl for 10 minutes?

''Jake, this is Nathan Scott. Lucas's brother'' Nathan and Lucas shared a awkward glance at the word 'brother' they should get used to being called that, they'll be known as that from now on. Nathan stood up and him and Jake fist bumped and Nathan said a quiet ''Hey'' which Jake repeated.

Jake Jagielski. Nathan remembered some of the things that Lucas said, he's been here for 7 months now, he moved from Savannah and is awesome at basketball apparently, and is on the team.

Not that Nathan would care about that, he's not going to try and get on the team. He doesn't want his life to just be about basketball, he's in a new town this is his new start. Where he will hopefully find a new thing he's good at. A new thing to love. Not a person.

Nathan's had girlfriends but not proper girlfriends; he dated a cheerleader Peyton Sawyer for a while but that was just about sex so they broke off, and had numerous flings from there. He thought he loved a girl named Nikki but she used him for his money, another reason to hate love.

But that didn't explain why he liked Haley so much. He'd only just met her and he was throwing around loads of words in his mind to describe her, they weren't even sexual feelings like he'd just sleep with her and send her away because he already cared for her to much to do that to her. Of course he had sexual feelings because she was stunning but he wanted to get to know her. She was different he could tell. She only knew his name and she was already asking him questions about love and she already trusted him to give her an honest answer even though she could have heard horrible stories about him. He really wanted to know Haley James...

Across the table Jake Jagielski noticed the way Nathan was looking at his girlfriend, and Jake wasn't happy. Nathan didn't even notice the glares Jake was sending him, which of course pissed him off even more. Brooke noticed that too.

''Ok can we go now? We don't know how long the principal will want to talk to Nathan for'' Haley pleaded, she didn't want to be late and she couldn't be late. She also couldn't leave Nathan on his own if lessons started before the principal was finished.

''Sure'' Jake and Luke said in unison. They all laughed at that and got into their cars. Nathan in Lucas's, Lucas and Brooke in Keith's and Haley and Jake in hers. His car also broke down and he didn't live to far from Karen's cafe so Haley offered to drop her boyfriend off.

They drove down to Tree Hill High where Nathan would soon meet a familiar face...

Hope you enjoyed it. Please review. Next chapter Tomorrow (hopefully)

I know I said Peyton+Andy would be in this chapter and I'm sorry they wern't I just didn't know how long the cafe scene was going to be, it was supposed to be shorter. I'm still happy it wasn't because there was more Naley than intended so woop for extra Naley!:) Peyton+ Andy will be it the next one I promise. There will be some Brucas but I need to get Haley and Nathan closer before Brooke and Lucas but they will be together. Skills,Bevin,Mouth,Rachel,Junk,Karen+Fergie will also be in this story. Along with some more of my fave characters. For those who have been on my profile will know I love Andy,Jake+Chris, Jakes already here and Andy will be soon but I promise Chris will to I just don't know when because I don't know what kind of person he will be A boyfriend to someone? A brother to someone? A friend to them all? I rival to all or someone? A love interest? I dont have a clue.

The song Haley sang in the cafe was 'Dear You' by Josh Auer. This story was on another FanFic and I really liked it and was listening to it today so I included it in the story.
