Chapter 1

Haley was lying on her bed and thinking about her life. She was extremely lucky to have best friends like Brooke and Lucas, but still, she wanted someone else to be in her life, someone who would appreciate her and love her with all his heart. Someone who would be there for her, no matter what happens. And she knew who she wanted that person to be. Nathan Scott...

"Hey Tutor Girl, what's up?" Brooke jumped on her bed.

"Oh nothing really, just, you know, thinking and resting. How was your date with Lucas?" Haley asked.

"It was PERFECT!" She replied. "He took me to my favorite spot in whole town, you know that park that I love so much, and when we arrived, there was a sign that said: "Happy Birthday, Brooke. I Love You. Lucas."" Brooke looked so happy. Being with Lucas always made her smile.

"Ohh, that's so sweet. Lucas is such a great boyfriend. You should be happy that you have him, Brooke. You guys really are perfect together." said Haley. She was glad they finally got together. They were both secretly in love with eachother and they were hiding it, but last month, Brooke suddenly decided to tell him that she loves him and he did the same and since then they've been together almost every single day.

"Thanks Hales. You're the best friend a girl can wish for." Brooke hugged her.

Haley smiled. "Happy birthday again, Brooke Davis."

"Oh stop it already! My birthday was yesterday and you guys are still saying that to me!" said Brooke and started laughing. "I have to admit it, it's getting a bit annoying."

"I am very sorry about that. I promise I'll never do that again. Okay so I guess you won't be needing that gift I have for you..." Haley looked at Brooke. She knew she can't resist presents.

"No, no, no, no, it's okay, you don't have to stop. It really IS okay. You can say that every single day. You know how much I love presents!" said Brooke.

"Okay, okay. I know you way too good, Brooke Davis." Haley smiled at Brooke. "Oh well, I have to go now. I promised Karen to help her in the café this afternoon. You'll get that present when I get home! Bye!"

"Bye!"

Later that day...

Haley was driving home. She was thinking about Nathan. She had a biggest crush on him for almost a year and a half now. She always dreamt of someday being with him, or going to Prom together. And now it's the beginning of the senior year...

"...And I need to do something about that. Should I tell Brooke about it? Or Lucas? I don't know... I mean it's not like that's gonna change anything, right?" she said to herself. "Maybe I should turn on and ask the radio." She remembered when Brooke, Peyton and she fist played that game. When they asked what's going on in Haley's life, Somebody's Me started playing.

"Somebody wants you,
Somebody needs you.
Somebody dreams about you every single night.
Somebody cant breathe, without you it's lonely.
Somebody hopes that one day you will see, that somebody's me...

...You will always be in my life, even if I'm not in your life.
Cause you're in my memory..."

And that was just the way Haley was feeling at that moment. But nobody knew it. That song's gotta be some kind of sign, right?

But at the end they all ended laughing because The Radio said, that Peyton wants to be An American Idiot and that Lucas is bringing sexyback.

Haley smiled when she thought of that memory. Everytime when they went somewhere, Brooke wanted to play that game. She never got tired of it.

She turned on the radio. It started playing: "just one chance, just one breath, just in case there's just one left, 'cause you know, you know, you know...That I love you, I have loved you all along, and I miss you, been far away, for far too long... I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go... "

"I should tell Brooke."

"Brooke, I'm home! Where are you?"

"I'm here, in my room!" Brooke yelled.

"Oh, here you are. God, what happened in here?!" Haley entered the room. It was full of clothes and sketches and papers... The room was a complete mess. "Haven't you just cleaned it up yesterday?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll clean it up later. You won't believe what happened to me today! After you left I got this amazing inspiration for my clothing line. Okay, what do you think about this one: I'll cut the back of this dress, so it'll be more glamorous and when that's done I'll put all kinds of sparkles on it! Pretty awesome, huh?" Brooke asked with such an excitement in her eyes. "Oh, wait, but what if I-"

"-Wow...Um, whatever do you think it's best, Brooke." said Haley. "Look, I have to tell you something, but if you're really busy...I guess it can wait." She turned around to leave.

"No, it's okay, I'm almost finished with this one. So shoot." Brooke was listening.

"Okay." Haley sat on a chair next to her. "Uh, I don't know how to tell you this..." she started.

"Haley. You know you can tell me anything. I'm your best friend. So, what's going on?" said Brooke.

"Well, I kinda have a crush on someone..." Haley looked to the floor.

"Really? Who is he? Who's the lucky man, Hales?" Brooke was so excited. Her best friend never had a boyfriend or even a crush on anyone. He must be something very special.

"It's... He's... He's Scott." Haley just said it. She knew this wasn't gonna end up so well. But what the hll, she couldn't lose anything.

Brooke was shocked. She looked at Haley: "Scott... As in Lucas?"

"Nooo, eww, not Lucas... Definitely not him." said Haley. She knew Brooke's gonna realize now that she meant Nathan.

"Oh, okay. I got a bit scared now." said Brooke, laughing. Then she suddenly became serious. "Oh god. There's only one Scott left unless you're into Dan. Nathan."

"Yeah... I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, Brooke. I was just, I don't know, scared?" said Haley.

"It's okay. You know you can tell me anything. For how long, Haley?" said Brooke.

"It'll be a year and a half in November. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you." Haley felt really bad. She knew she should've told Brooke sooner, but she was just really confused.

"It's fine Hales, it really is." Brooke gave her a hug. "So, what are we gonna do about it?"

Haley looked at her. "How do mean, what are we gonna do about it? How about nothing?"

Brooke started thinking. "Hmm, well we are seniors and there's Prom coming this year so, how about I set the two of you together?"

Haley protested. "You are NOT going to do that!"

"Oh yes I AM!"

"Well, do you have a plan?"

"You are asking Brooke Davis if she has a PLAN? When did I not have a plan? Of course I have a plan! Lets see... Nathan is a basketball player... Lucas is his brother... And I am Lucas' girlfriend! It's perfect!"

"Um... I already knew all that, Brooke. And it doesn't help me at all." Haley was a bit confused. She didn't know what was going through Brooke's mind.

"It does! Well, we are living in 21st century, so I bet he has an email or MSN or something. I'm calling Lucas." Brooke started to search for her cell phone.

"You are so not doing that!"

Brooke found her phone. "I already am!" She picked it up and started calling.

"Well, hello B. Davis." said the person on the other side.

"Uh, Peyton?"

"Yeah, it's Peyton. You don't recognize my voice anymore? Wow, we sure didn't talk in like a day, but-"

"-Sorry about that, I guess I typed the wrong number. I didn't exactly want to call you... but anyway, you didn't call me back yesterday. What happened with you and Jake?"

"Well, Jenny was at his parents', so he came over, made me a dinner and then watched a movie that was like so boring, so we went upstairs and..."

"Oh my god, you guys finally DID IT?!"

"Come on Brooke, what's going on? Why are you talking to Peyton now?" said Haley. She was getting impatient.

"Oh sorry, P.Sawyer. Or should I call you soon-to-be P.Jagielski?" Brooke laughed. "I gotta go now, Tutor Girl is bugging me. Talk to you later, so I can hear ALL the details." She hung up. "Sorry about that, Hales. Now let's call Lucas." She checked twice she typed the right number this time.

"Hi Miss Davis, I was wondering when you'll call me" said Lucas.

"Hi Luke. Look, I need-" she said.

Lucas continued her sentence. "-your boyfriend?"

Brooke laughed. "Well, that too, but that's not what I'm calling for. I really need to talk to Nathan, but it can't wait 'til tomorrow. Does he has an email, MSN or something?"

"Brooke, are you into Nathan?" Lucas asked with a serious sound in his voice.

"You are so jealous! Nooo, I'm not into him, no way! I just need to ask him something, and I was never really nice to him, so I want to change that, that's all. And since he's your brother, I don't want your family to hate me." Brooke replied. She knew that now he won't be so suspicious.

"Oh, you know they could never hate you Brooke Davis. And speaking of my family, Karen loves you, and I'm sure Nathan likes you too. And my family ends there, you know that." said Lucas.

"Okay, okay, can I now please have his email?" said Brooke who was starting to be a little impatient.

"Yeah sure, I'll send you a text message right away. Okay Pretty Girl, see you tomorrow! I expect an appropriate thank you." said Lucas.

"Oh, you'll get one. Thanks boyfriend. See you tomorrow for sure." Brooke smiled and hung up. Then she turned around and saw Haley looking back at her. "Sorry, I just got carried away. Let's do this now, shall we?"

"I knew this wasn't gonna end up well." Haley said to herself. But deep down inside, she felt lucky to have a best friend like Brooke.
