"Haley will you please hurry up, we're gonna be late!" A sixteen year old Lily James shouted.
"I'm coming, calm down." Haley shouted back, walking out her bedroom.
"Are they my jeans?"
"Stop getting all pissy, I'll wash them later." She shrugged off, sitting down to put her black converse on, "What's got you so edgy it's only parents evening."
"I'm edgy because you're not even my parent." Lily mumbled.
"Look, you know that mom and dad are working, so you're stuck with me. Besides you're probably better off with me." She said, grabbing her keys of the kitchen counter and making her way down stairs to her car.
"And why is that?" Lily asked.
"Because" she started, "If any of the teachers say anything bad I won't rat you out or get mad at you."
"I suppose but it'd still be nice if they actually came."
"You know that they care about you, kiddo. They're just busy, that's all." Haley said, trying to make her feel better while link their arms together, "Besides don't you want you're super hot, super cool sister with you?" She teased, bumping hips.
"Ew, they're all old and wrinkly." Lily said, scrunching up her face in disgust.
"I thought you said your English teacher's cute."
"Oh trust me, he is more than cute. His parents did a great job."
"Well I for one cannot wait to meet him." She smirked.
"No." Lily said.
"What do mean, 'no'?" Haley asked confused.
"I know that look on your face, you're not allowed to sleep with him."
Haley gasped, "How dare you make that insinuation... but why am I not allowed?"
"Because can you imaging how awkward that would be for me in class? Gosh, just the thought of it makes me want to throw up." She said, pretending to gag.
"Okay, but I'm not making any promises, you big drama queen."
"I'm not a drama queen." Lily gasped.
"Yes you are, you get it from me." Haley winked before getting into the car.
"Haley, you can't be serious, we're about to go in." Lily scolded as Haley answered her phone before walking away, holding her finger up to suggest one minute.
"It's Brooke." Haley said.
"Hurry up."
A few minutes later Haley was still on the phone to Brooke as she leant against the lockers across the hall from where the were sat but had her back to Lily. The people who had been in previously just stepped out of the classroom along with her English teacher.
"Yeah it was good to see you again." He said, shaking the parents hands. and waving them off.
"Hey Lily, you ready?" He asked the brunette.
"Yeah, my sister just on the phone sorry." Lily said standing.
"Well, why don't you come in, I've got your paper to give you back anyway."
"Okay, thanks." She said when he let her in first.
Turning back, he looked over at Lily's sister, look's good from behind, he thought before shaking his head- that was so not professional.
"Yeah, okay... Brooke, I'll see you later, I need to see this teacher and Lily's already in there. Bye." Haley said, hanging up the phone before she could get another word in. By god did she love the girl, but she really could talk forever.
Making her way over to the class room, she opened the door to see Lily sat in front of the teachers desk and the teacher stood in the corner by a filing cabinet. Looks good from behind, she thought.
"I'm so sorry about, that my friend said it was some sort of emergency but she was just a hypercondriac as usual." Haley laughed.
Hearing his chuckle, "It's fine" He said, she looked up from where she was putting her phone in her bag and it was only when he turned around she was certain.
"Oh my god." She said surprised once he'd faced her.
"Haley James." His surprise mirroring hers.
"Nathan Scott." She said, letting out a quiet, shocked laugh, "And what the hell are you doing here?" she said walking over to him.
"I'm the school's English teacher." He said, watching her intently as she walked over to him, god she was still as gorgeous as ever, if not more if it was possible.
"No way." She said, surprising them all by taking him into a hug.
Nathan's eyes bulged when he saw Lily over Haley's shoulder, her eyebrows raised in question and shock.
Moving back from the hug, she kept her hands on his arms are she looked up at him, "Wow, you've gotten... big." She laughed, smirking when he blushed.
"Haley." Lily admonished, god she was so embarrassing.
"What?" Haley asked.
"Wait you mean you're Lily's sister?" Nathan asked pointing between the two.
"You don't remember her?"
"No I do, I just can't believe I didn't put two and two together." He said as he led them over the desk, extending his arm to the chair, silently telling her to take a seat as he took his.
"Neither can I." Haley said, slowly taking her seat still in shock.
"Can someone please explain this to me?" Lily said, feeling like a complete third wheel.
"We went to high school together." Haley explained, her eyes not leaving Nathan.
Lily looked between them and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, needing to get their attention away from each other she cleared her throat.
"Oh right, sorry." Nathan mumbled a blush rising to his cheeks, "Okay anyway, I won't be keeping you for too long. Lily's a great student, she hands all her homework in on time, she's well behaved, she participates in the lesson and she never gives me any trouble."
"Huh, my sister a teacher's pet." Haley said.
"I'm not a teacher's pet." She grumbled.
"So Lily, how are you finding the lesson?" Nathan asked.
"Fine, I enjoy it and don't find the work too hard."
Nathan nodded as he wrote something down, "That's good but you know that if you are ever struggling that I'm here and don't hesitate to ask."
"I know, thanks." She smiled.
"And Haley do you have any questions about Lily or anything else?" he asked, moving his eyes back to the older brunette.
"Nothing about Lily, she seems to be doing well which I'm glad about. But how long have you been working here?" She said leaning forward.
Nathan chuckled, "Only a couple months, I started with the new school year." He informed her.
"I can't believe I didn't make the connection." She said dumbfounded.
"I've not been back in Tree Hill for too long so that might be why." He said, standing up and leading them out.
"It was so good to see you." She said genuinely.
"It was good to see you too." Nathan smiled, "But listen, I'm having a few friends over on friday, I've officially just moved in so it's like a house warming party but smaller and you're more than welcome to come." He said writing something down on a scrap piece of paper before handing it to her, "Here's the address you should come, there might be a few familiar faces." He smiled.
"I'd really like that thanks. You wouldn't mind if I brought my roommate would you?"
"That's no problem, the more the merrier." He laughed.
"Okay thanks." She said before looking down at the piece of paper in her hands, "still the same scrawly writing I see." She teased.
"God, I can't believe you remembered what my hand writing looked like."
"Hey, we spent a lot of time in that tutoring centre, I saw a lot of your writing." She defended.
"I guess you're right." He shrugged.
"I always am." She winked.
"Well I'll see you Friday, seven o'clock." He said as he led them out the door.
"Okay, seven o'clock Friday." She nodded, smiling one last time before walking off.
Once in the car, Lily turned to Haley astonished, "I cannot believe that."
"What?" Haley asked confused.
"You two were blatantly flirting and having some weird eye sex in front of me. Talk about inappropriate." She scoffed, sitting back in her chair.
"We were not." She gasped.
"Oh wow you've gotten so big" Lily mocked.
"I did not say that."
"Oh yes you did, whilst feeling him up may I add."
"Oh my god." She groaned leaning against the steering wheel, "I'm sorry."
"Yeah whatever, wait until I tell Brooke about this one." She teased.
"She's gonna love this isn't she?" Haley asked knowingly, laughing when Lily nodded.
"It's a good job she didn't go to school with you."
"Thankfully." Haley said, putting her key into ignition.
After a moment of silence Lily turned to her older sister, "So..." She started, "You've got a date with Nathan Scott."
"It's not a date." Haley said, rolling her eyes.
"His number is on this piece of paper." She sang.
"It's not a date, he was just being friendly."
"...you're more than welcome to come." Lily mocked in a deep voice, making the older girl break out into a laugh.
"You're such a dork." Haley said shaking her head.
"Hey, you're home. Where's Lily?" Brooke asked as Haley walked through the door.
"She went home, dad was home from work so..."
"How was parent evening?" Brooke asked moving her legs when Haley patted them allowing her to sit down.
"It was okay, she did great." Haley nodded, kicking off her shoes and putting her feet up on the coffee table.
"So how hot was her English teacher?" Brooke asked excitedly sitting up.
"Funny story actually..." Haley started.
"What?"
"Do you ever remember me telling you about a guy I went to school with, Nathan Scott?" Haley asked, watching as the clocks ticked around in Brooke's head before her eyes widened as realisation set in.
"No way, he's her English teacher?" Brooke asked, her mouth open in shock.
"Yep and he really is as hot as ever." Haley smirked.
"Haley Bob James, you saucy little minx." Brooke giggled.
"He actually invited me to a little house party at his on Friday, I got you invited too." She said, pulling the piece of paper out of her bag.
"He asked you out?" Brooke said, taking the piece of paper out of her hands.
"He didn't ask me out, we haven't seen each other in like five years, I doubt the last thing he would do after seeing me after all this time is ask me out, at a parent evening nether the less."
"His number is on here." Brooke pointed out.
"Like I said to Lily, he was just being friendly."
"Friendly my ass. He thinks you're hot." Brooke said, handing the piece of paper back to her.
"Well obviously." Haley said flicking her hair over her shoulder.
"Ew, shut up." Brooke laughed, nudging her friend with her foot.
I know I really shouldn't be starting a new story when I've not even finished my other one, but this is just an idea that I've had for a while and wanted to know what you thought. Depending on the response I get from this I may or may not update it.
It is rated T but may contain some M moments in future chapters I haven't decided yet!
But please let me know what you think, thank you!
