Hi, everyone!! I'm Nicole this is my third story that I have written. I just wanted to tell you girls what this story is about. First off, this is a Naley story!! YAY!! Nathan and Haley are best friends, they are in their senior year of high school. Nathan likes Haley but thinks she likes someone else. What they both don't know is that this year, changes is going to happen. Some good and bad changes are in their cards of fate. So I hope you will enjoy my story. The first chapter will be from the narrator(me) POV but then the rest of the chapters will change to Nathan's POV. If there POV's change I will let you girls know. The flash backs will be in italics.

Day Dreaming of Her

Nathan was sitting in class listening to his teacher, at least that's what the teacher thought. He was mentally thinking about his best friend Haley James, instead of writing down the notes off the board.

You see, Haley and him have been best friends since they were five years old. When she was sitting on the swings and a boy named Eddy came up to her and pushed her off the swings and made her fall on the ground. She started to cry but that's when Nathan helped her up.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "No, I want my mommy!! Why do boys have to be so mean? You're a boy, get away from me!" She said to him. "No, I'm a good boy!! I'm not like that Eddy kid." He said to her. "Oh, I'm sorry umm…." He figured she wanted to know his name, "Nathan, Nathan Scott and you are?" he said extending his hand for her to shake, "Oh, I'm Haley, Haley James. It's nice to meet you, i'm five by the way. Are you five?" He nods his head at her and he helps her get up.

The thoughts that Nathan has been having of Haley has been more than just best friends. He can see them married with the whole nine yards, but that's only if she feels the same way.

He was brought back to class by his older brother Luke, "Hey Nate. Snap out of it, class is over." It took him a few seconds to get what his brother was saying, "Thanks man, I just can't get my mind off her."

Start of Flash back

Back in tenth grade Nathan and Haley were at Haley's house studying at least Haley was but Nathan was having a hard time concentrating on studying. Then Nathan's cell starting to ring the sound of some rap song started to play. "I wish you would get rid of that awful music" Haley tells him. "Nah, it's the greatest music. Except for your voice, I could listen to that all day." Haley just laughs at his remark, "Always a charmer, just answer your damn phone or I will." He shakes his head while opening his phone, "Hello?... Oh hey Luke… Yeah I'll be over shortly…. no I'm just hanging out with Hales."

About five minutes later Nathan ends his call with Luke. "Hey Hales, is it okay if I go over to Luke's he needs to talk to me about something that he can't tell me over the phone" He says to Haley. "Yeah, sure. That's cool, I guess I will see you later then." He nods and kisses her forehead before leaving her room.

End of flash back

"Get your mind off who?" both boys turned their heads to see Haley James standing behind them. "Oh, hey hales. Got to go, see ya later Nate." Luke quickly made a run for the door. "Nate, you still haven't answered my question. Who is it?" Nathan looked like a deer caught in the head lights, "Oh just someone I met, at the party Friday night." Haley just sighed knowing she wouldn't get a real answer out of him. "You're lying, I know you. Talk to me." Nathan was about to answer when their teacher walked back into the room. "You kids better get moving class starts in a few minutes." Haley and Nathan both nodded at him and started walking out the class room. "Sorry hales, I'll talk to you tonight. Got to get to Math with Mr.-I like to talk and spit at the students-Perry" Haley laughed, their teacher was like the one from the Disney show "That's So Raven" who would spit on the students when he was talking but he just doesn't know that he does it.

Making her way to the touring center, Haley pulled out her clip board that told her the students she would have for the next hour. While Haley was in the tutoring center, Luke was in Math class with Nate talking about what happened earlier. "So, what did you end up telling her?" Luke asked him. "Oh that I met a girl at the party on Friday, but she knew I was lying." Luke nodded, telling him to continue. "So I was stuck, I didn't know what I would have said had Mr. Grays not walked into the room and told us to get to class." Luke just shacks his head, at his brother stupidity. "I don't know why you can't just tell her how you really feel. I have known hales much longer than you have, you just might be surprised by her response." Luke says. "I just don't want to jeopardize our friendship if she doesn't like me. By the way I met her first, not you!" What they didn't know was that Brooke Davis and Bevin Jones had heard everything they had said.

Brooke Davis is their towns' gossip queen, and it doesn't take her very long to get news around the school fast.

Bevin Jones was Co-gossip queen with Brooke. They were best friends or at least that's what the whole school thought.

By the time school was over the news had just reached Haley.

Haley was at her locker when she heard some girls walk by talking about Nathan and her. All she heard was something about Nathan liking her, but that just doesn't make sense. Sure she does like him, but she doesn't think he feels the same way.

But boy were they both wrong.

This year was going to bring a lot of changes that no one can stop.
