Paranormal Tree Hill

Chapter 22

Nathan got out of his truck, parking it in front of the James house. Heading up the walkway ready to ring the doorbell when the door opens. "Oh hey Nate, didn't know you were gonna be here today." A startled Carter explains. "Hey Carter, Hales and I are going to a movie." Nathan says as him and Carter do the "bro handshake".

With the front door still open, Nathan walks into the house as Carter walks to his car, most likely going to hangout with his friends.

He walks through the foyer and into the kitchen, seeing Lydia James, Haley's mom. "Nathan! It's so good to see you, how've you been honey? How's your mom? What are you doing here?" Lydia smiles, going over to Nathan and hugging him tight. "Oh, I'm good Mrs James, mom's good, I'm taking Haley to a movie." Nathan says, still waiting for the hug to be over.

At this point Haley walks down the stairs seeing her mother strangling Nathan with her strong hugs. "Mama, let Nate go, he's turning blue." Haley laughs.

Lydia lets go of Nathan and gives Haley a quick hug, walking out of the room, "You two have fun!" Nathan and Haley just look at each other before walking outside and closing the door behind them.

"When's your basketball game? I wanna make sure I have the night off from the cafe so I can come watch you play?" Haley asks. "Friday night at 7, and don't worry Hales I already had mom give you the night off." Nathan smirks looking over at his best friend. "But Nate! It's better if I ask for the night off and not you, that's not-" Nathan interrupts her ranting, "Haley it's okay, stop worrying, we're here, let's just go inside and have fun."

Nathan hops out of the car, jogging over to the passengers side and holding his hand out for Haley to grab. She reluctantly takes it, sarcastically rolling her eyes. "What movie are we seeing?" Haley inquires. "I don't know it just came out, something to do with pirates?" The two teens head into the theater.

Ordering two medium cokes, a large popcorn (with extra butter of course) and a box of peanut M and M's, Haley takes some money out of her pocket to hand to the cashier when Nathan pushes her hand to the side and gives the cashier his money. "Hales, you're not paying for this." Nathan says with a small smile. Haley rolls her eyes, "But you bought the tickets, I have to pay for something!"

Nathan just gives her a small smile, takes his coke and the popcorn, hands Haley her coke and the M and M's, and leads her into the theater. "A lady never should pay when going out." Nathan ends the conversation, letting her sit down, ready to watch the previews before the movie.
