Chapter 6

Jonathan left out the kitchen door and began walking down the sidewalk. About 2 blocks from the house, Chase pulled up in his car and rolled down the window.

"Where are you going?" Chase asked.

"To the library," Jonathan said.

"Where are you going?" Chase repeated.

"To the library," Jonathan said.

"Where are you going?" Chase asked once again.

"Would you quit asking that?" Jonathan asked.

"If you tell me where you're really going," Chase said. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the movies," Jonathan said.

"Not on a school night," Chase said.

"But I finished all my homework," Jonathan said.

"Get in the car," Chase said.

Jonathan got in the car and buckled his seatbelt. Chase began to drive.

"I did finish my homework," Jonathan said.

"I know, but I said no going to the movies on a school night," Chase said.

"But Keri will be sad if I stand her up," Jonathan said.

"Keri?" Chase asked.

"My girlfriend," Jonathan said.

"You're girlfriend?" Chase asked. "That was fast. Just the other day you were moping about Lydia."

"Yeah, well I'm dating Keri now," Jonathan said.

"What's her last name?" Chase asked.

"Russell," Jonathan said.

"Keri Russell?" Chase asked in disbelief.

"No relation to the actress," Jonathan said.

"You should call her," Chase said.

"Okay," Jonathan said getting out his phone and calling Lydia.

"I'm almost there," Lydia said when she answered. "I had to eat dinner before my parents would let me go to the 'library'."

"I'm so sorry Keri," Jonathan said.

"Keri?" Lydia asked.

"I'm with Chase right now and he said I can't go to the movies on a school night," Jonathan said.

"Oh," Lydia said.

"So how about Friday Keri?" Jonathan asked.

"Sure," Lydia said.

"I love you," Jonathan said.

"You do?" Lydia asked. "I mean I love you too."

"Bye," Jonathan said.

"Bye," Lydia said.

Jonathan hung up his phone.

"Well I'm glad to see you're over Lydia," Chase said.

"Yeah," Jonathan said. "So tomorrow can I do my homework at the library?"

"You're not going to see a movie," Chase said.

"No, I'm serious," Jonathan said. "I want to do my homework at the library."

"How will I know you're actually at the library?" Chase asked.

"I will text you pictures every 10 minutes," Jonathan replied.

"Make it every 5 minutes and it's a deal," Chase said.

"Okay," Jonathan said.

The next day at the Tree Hill Library, Lydia and Jonathan were sitting at a table doing their homework.

"Our first official date," Lydia said. "This is more my style."

"This is nice," Jonathan said.

"Yeah," Lydia agreed.

Jonathan and Lydia shared a kiss. Unknown to them, Andrew Martin was hiding behind a bookshelf, and was taking pictures of them on his phone. After he was done taking pictures, Andrew walked to Karen's Café where Haley was cleaning off the tables.

"Hey Mrs. Scott," Andrew said.

"Hi Andrew," Haley said. "What do you want?"

"I was wondering if Lydia was here," Andrew said.

"She's at home, but not to be rude, she doesn't like you," Haley said.

"She's not at home Mrs. Scott," Andrew said. "I have something I'd like to show you."

Nathan walked into the café.

"Oh and Mr. Scott's here," Andrew said.

"What are you doing here Andrew?" Nathan asked.

"You guys need to sit down because I have some pictures to show you," Andrew said.
