Fearless (One Tree Hill) (S1)

Chapter 3

The next week went by pretty quick, and I was excited that I could hang with Momma Karen; Lucas’ mom wanted me to call her that since I’m like her daughter. The game was getting pretty intense because nobody would pass Lucas the ball. Coach screamed at them, and when they got back on the court, Tim passed Lucas the ball to score, and Nathan wasn’t too pleased with him.

“Great game Luke.” I said as I hugged him.

“Thanks Kris.” Lucas said as he hugged me back.

Karen left us, but Nathan decided to join us.

Nathan said that the team was throwing a party at his parent’s beach house and that we were invited. Nathan walked by us, but smirked my way.

“You going?” I asked Lucas.

“I don’t know Kris.” Lucas answered back.

I got my answer when Lucas came to pick me up with Haley. When we pulled up, I pulled my jacket closer to me because of the wind. Haley gave me a look, but I knew that we would be fine.

“I’m fine Hals. Trust me.” I whispered to her.

“I didn’t think you’d show.” Nathan said as we walked up to us.

“That makes two of us.” Lucas said back as he walked past Nathan.

Nathan shook hands with Haley, which had to be awkward, but smirked at me.

“Didn’t think you would show either.” Nathan said as we walked with Lucas and Haley.

“Did you? Well, I never miss a party.” I replied with a smile.

Nathan smiled back as we all walked past Peyton and into the house.

Haley and I took in the view until some chick showed Brooke a comic strip in the paper, and everyone started dissing it except me and Haley. I glanced at Lucas and he glanced at Peyton, and she glanced back at us. We knew she did the comic, but we weren’t going to say a word.

The party was ok; I guess you could say, until Brooke wanted Lucas to play I Never. Lucas looked unsure for a second, and then decided to join. I just stood off to the side and watched because I knew this was going to be an interesting game, and I was right because Nathan said something about Dan to Lucas. I watched as Lucas walked over to Nathan, handed him his cup, said something to him, and then bumped his shoulder before walking off. I noticed that Peyton gave Nathan a look, but I wasn’t surprised that she didn’t say anything. I also noticed that Brooke gave Peyton a look, but didn’t say anything either, but I knew that she would probably say something later. I glared at Nathan before walking off to find Lucas. Instead of finding Lucas, I found Haley.

“Are you having fun?” I asked her.

“Not really. Are you?” Haley asked back.
