Hi, still ill:( so I wrote this chapter. This is the first half on Nathan's first day. Andy and Peyton will be in it as promised:D Chapter 5 will be up tomorrow. Enjoy.

Chapter 4

Lucas was right, they did arrive early to school that morning. Not that Haley had a problem with that. Brooke sure did.

''Haley!'' Brooke screamed ''Just because you're ok with being a nerd I'm not! That look totally doesn't go well for me.'' Brooke scowled at Haley

Ouch Lucas, Jake and Nathan all thought. Nathan had never seen that side to Brooke but he'd only known her for half an hour and she'd only said a few things. He hoped she wasn't like that all the time, it was clear what she said hurt Haley.

Jake was still getting used to Brookes moods, at the beginning he used to stick up for Haley but then he realised it was a daily thing. Brooke can't go on a day without having a go at Haley, and Jake really didn't want to get on her bad side.

Lucas was used to it; even though she's a super bitch sometimes but he still loves her. Yes that's right, love. Lucas Scott is in love with Brooke Davis, no one knows not even Haley. He plans on telling Haley, he's sick of hiding it. He's very unaware that Haley has known for years.

''Love you to Brooke.'' Haley scowled at Brooke, sure Haley was used to Brooke's moods by now but sometimes they pissed her off. Today especially, those words actually hurt. She wouldn't let Brooke know that though.

They all walked into the main office and Nathan didn't notice the comet parking in the car park.

Haley and Jake walked hand in hand into the office followed by Brooke and Lucas who was involved in another conversation as Nathan walked awkwardly behind.

''Ah, Haley James, Jake Jagielski, Lucas Scott, Brooke Davis and who's this?'' The principal said gesturing towards Nathan

''This, Principal Hargrove is Nathan Scott. My brother, the new student. Do you remember?'' Lucas has never liked Andy Hargrove ever since he replaced Principal Turner last year. When he started at the school there was a welcoming party which Lucas and Karen went to, Keith was unable to go because he had the flu. Andy took a shine to Karen and flirted with her for most of the night, but being the nice woman Karen was she didn't tell him to 'piss off' like Lucas almost did.

''Oh yes welcome, I'll go and get your class lists in a moment'' Andy said as if he didn't care Nathan was in the room. Dick Nathan thought, Andy's attention went straight back to Lucas. ''So Lucas, how's your Mom? I've not spoke to her for awhile Keith was here last time to transfer Nathan to the school'' They all noticed how Andy said 'Keith' as it was a revolting thing to say.

''She's great, the baby too'' Lucas said smugly Take that! Lucas shouted in his heads as he saw jealousy take over Andy's features.

''Baby wow. So Nathan let's get you that schedule.'' Andy covered his sadness and walked over to his office with Nathan walking behind uneager.

''We'll wait here for you Nathan'' Haley smiled; Nathan got that feeling in his stomach again. Maybe he's sick? Nathan noticed that look of annoyance Jake got on his face which caused Nathans smile to turn into a smirk as he walked in the office.

A couple of minutes later Nathan got his schedule and walked back to the rest of the group who were stood outside the office. As they were talking about Nathans classes he turned around after being tapped on the shoulder.

''Hi, do you know where th- Nate!'' The blond haired girl beamed.

Haley automatically felt jealous, this girl was gorgeous. She had short blond hair which is in curls, a denim skirt with black tights, a red t-shirt, a black leather jacket on, red converse and of course her makeup was perfect.

''Peyt!'' Oh great there on nickname terms Haley thought sarcastically. Then she automatically felt guilty when she remembered that Jake her boyfriend was stood right next to her. I'm such a bitch she realized. She would have been the one calling Jake that if she knew what he was thinking.

Wow she's hot, nice legs. Jake was thinking as he felt Haley grab onto his hand Shit he mentally cursed himself when he has the best girlfriend standing right there.

Nathan suddenly picked up Peyton and spun her around, the other 4 just stood and watched in confusion.

''What are you doing here?'' Nathan asked excitedly, his best friend was here in Tree Hill! After him and Peyton broke up they were those couples who actually stayed friends. They were the worst of couples but the best of friends that's for sure.

''My Dad started working for the docks here so we relocated. I thought you were moving to Tree Hey or something, not here! This is so awesome'' Peyton felt exactly the same way, Nathan was such a great friend to her after they broke up, seen as they weren't sleeping together they actually got to know each other and just clicked and have been best friends ever since.

''I know, This is going to be-'' Nathan was cut off by Brooke coughing rudely, he'd totally forgotten about them. He looked at Haley's face and saw something strange not a weird spot or a scratch, he saw jealousy he was sure of it. Or he wondered if it was just his mind playing tricks on him? But he really thought he saw it even though it was just for a second. ''Oh My God I am so sorry.'' Nathan turned back to Peyton and began to introduce his friends ''Peyton this is Lucas Scott, Haley, Brooke and Jake. Guys this is Peyton, my best friend'' Nathan grinned they all said there 'hi's' and introduced them selves.

It turns out Nathan, Peyton and Lucas will be in the same homeroom. So when the bell rang they all were about to make there way to there homerooms. Haley and Jake had already walked to theirs, they were in the same homeroom too.

''Luke, walk me homeroom? It's not fair that I'm on my own'' Brooke pouted. Because her last name started with 'D' she was on her own on the other side of the school. Of course you wouldn't have to ask Lucas twice, he'd do anything for this girl.

''Sure, I'll see you in homeroom Nate, you to Peyton.'' Lucas ran to Brooke and they proceeded to walk to homeroom together.

''Whipped'' Nathan said while fake coughing, Brooke didn't seem to hear it but Lucas turned round to glare at his brother.

Nathan and Peyton somehow found their way to theirs, it wasn't too difficult. It was a small school after all. Peyton noticed Nathan was deep in thought, so she decided to question him about it.

''What's on your mind Nate?''

''Nothing'' Nathan didn't really want to talk about what's bothering him

''Come on Nate, we've been friends since middle school. You can tell me, you thinking 'bout your mom?''

Peyton and Nathan got distant after his mom died, when Nathan found out he was moving to Tree Hill he spent his last week with Peyton. She knows all about Dan and what he's done. She also knows about their plans to escape him. She knows he doesn't like talking about it, but she knows it's bothering him.

''Yeah, I mean we were supposed to be doing this together, you know?''

''I know she'd be really proud of you Nate'' Peyton knew Deb really well and he death effected her, Deb was a second Mom to her. ''I can cheer you up, seen any girls you like?'' She knows he was hurt by Nikki, but the girls here seem nice even though she's only met Brooke and Haley. She also knows Nathan needs to move on.

''No'' Nathan lied; he didn't want Peyton to know he liked a girl that was dating someone else.

''Don't pull that crap Nate, who? Brooke?'' Nathan didn't answer and he'd told her he'd not really met anyone around here except ''Oh my god Haley!''

''What, no!'' Nathan lied again, unconvincingly. He didn't like lying to Peyton, she saw right through it though.

''She's dating that Jake guy, right?''

''Yeah'' Nathan said, clearly disappointed.

''She seems sweet, hang in there. You never know she might like you back'' Peyton winked. Nathan just laughed and shook his head, that's what he loved about Peyton she always made him feel better.

''Whatever, let's get this day over with'' He said pushing her into homeroom.

Once they took their seats they realized they had Chemistry together and AP English, Nathan wanted to try something new, maybe he could be a writer? Or a scientist? He knows he'll have to work hard to stay in that class, he had to beg to make the school to let him get a place in AP English. Maybe Haley was in that class?

Jake and Haley were walking to their homeroom at the other side of the school; Jake decided to see if Haley knew anything about the curly haired blond girl.

''So, who is that girl? The one that Nathan knew?'' Jake wanted to know about this girl, she seemed nice.

''Peyton Sawyer?'' Jake nodded ''I don't know, I asked Lucas while her and Nathan were talking and he said Nathan had talked about her once. Their best friends, they dated but that was like 2 years ago.'' Haley wanted to reassure herself that nothing was going on with them, but what if someone else likes Nathan. She cant control them or him, who wouldn't like Nathan? He's gorgeous.

''Oh, so why's she here?'' Jake wanted to know all about the Peyton. He hoped she hadn't moved here for Nathan. Jake had only said one thing to her and he was feeling something. Of course that makes him feel guilty for the small girl who he was currently dating.

''Didn't you hear, her dad works on the docks and got relocated to Tree Hill. Were you to busy staring at her?'' Haley said, she was joking but judging by the guilty expression on Jakes face she wondered if he was.

''What? Um no, course not, um what?'' Haley immediately burst out laughing, Jake was so cute! Another thing to add on the list in her mind. You're dating Jake, You like Jake, Jake's awesome. Jakes so cute.

''Relax Jake, I'm kidding'' Haley stood on her tip toes and gave Jake a kiss on the cheek

''Ha ha, you're so funny Hales'' Jake stated sarcastically and put his arm loosely around her shoulders as they continued to walk to homeroom.

Lucas and Brooke got to her homeroom. They always felt so comfortable around each other; Brooke was worried that if she asked him out then it would change. Especially if he rejected her. Brooke was completely unaware that Lucas felt exactly the same way.

''Thanks Luke,'' Brooke said shyly. She often felt shy when they were alone, or when Lucas did nice things for her. So she felt like that a lot, Lucas always did nice things for Brooke.

''No problem, I'll see you later.'' Luke walked away with his heart beating rapidly in his chest. He loved Brooke Davis with all his heart and she didn't even know.

Nathan walked into his AP English class with Peyton. Got a huge grin on his face when he saw Haley and Lucas sat at the back, two empty seats in front of them. If only Brooke was here to see how happy Nathan was that Haley was in his class.

''Hey Nathan, Peyton'' Haley grinned, she was happy that Nathan was in this class; Lucas never said he was smart.

''Nate, what are you doing in this class? It's AP English'' Lucas knows about Nathans grades what's he doing in this is an advanced class?

''I know, I thought I'd try something new, you know seen as I'm not doing basketball anymore. I could try and do writing like you'' Nathan and Haley both smiled at what he'd said.

''WHAT? You're not doing basketball, why?'' Peyton was mad, basketball's his dream. Dan can't take that away from him too.

''Because it's not going to run my life again.'' Nathan answered simply; it's his choice not Peyton's. He didn't want to talk about it. Thankfully he didn't have to as the AP teacher walked in.

''Right class be quiet, it appears we have two new students today. Why don't you stand up and tell us about yourselves. You first'' He gestured to Nathan to start.

Nathan reluctantly got up and coughed awkwardly ''Um I'm Nathan Scott'' They could hear people saying 'Scott?' from round the room, no one knew about Lucas's brother. ''I'm from Charlotte, and I'm Luke's half brother. Just in case you're wondering'' He said sarcastically he really hated people that started stupid rumor's so he wanted to clear that up straight away.

Peyton stood up as Nathan sat down ''I'm Peyton Sawyer, also from Charlotte. Hi.'' Peyton done an awkward small wave, she hopes she doesn't have to do this in all of the classes. She's not much of a people person.

Nathan sunk back into his seat. Yes this is going to be a long day…
