Ok I know I have other stories BUT I had a request to turn a video I made into a story :)

So if your not familiar with the character of "Danny" (from when Joy was on Guiding Light, they were amazzzzing...and Danny WASN'T ABUSIVE!...i just made it look that way lol...)

*********If you want to watch the video, go to "DAILYMOTION" then just type in Bethie8 and it's the video labeled ENOUGH EXTENDED VERSION!!!!!!! :) **********

If you have any problems let me know! :)

But you don't need to know about that back story, because like I said it wasn't how it happened on the show so...but at least with the video you get to see whom I'm actually writing about lol

So this is a short chapter just getting things started, but again you can expect to see the story unfold in this manner and then go forward :)

Feedback is love especially in a new story :)

Let me know!!!

Nathan Scott pulled his black SUV up to her house and routinely honked. He let out a deep sigh, knowing she was, like usual, running late. He pulled his phone from his pocket and began to text her when the passenger side opened, "Hey sorry."

"Jesus Haley, you would thi-" Nathan's words stopped at the sight of her, "Yo-Your hair..."

She moved her hand through the newly dyed blonde curls, "Ya I know right? So I was totally in the aisle at Wal-Greensand saw it and said why not? You know? Why don't you like it? I mean I know it's really different and I know I said I'd never turn into one of those girls who dye their hair just to impress a guy, but its not for a guy so it's ok." She finally stopped and smiled over at him, "So come on...we're gonna be late."

"Huh-What?" Nathan shook his head to disguise the fact that he had been starring, "Oh-Right, school...ya."

Haley let out a light laugh, "Are you ok?"

"Ya" Nathan coughed, "Fine."

The two pulled up to the school and Nathan soon parked the car. Haley grabbed her bag from the floor "First day as seniors, you ready for this?"

Nathan found himself once again starring, "Ah-Yah, I guess."

"Seriously what is wrong with you? I thought you'd be jumping off the walls?" Her brow furrowed.

"Just tired I guess..."

Haley opened her door, "That's the thing about that internet porn Nathan, keeps you up late." She quickly got out of the car and shut the door. He soon followed and the two walked towards the crowds of other students.

Nathan's voice was hesitatant but curious as he watched her walk, "So...where's the-"

Haley cut him off while digging through her bag, "Poncho? I know...so my mom's stupid dog decided it was her new chew toy...where the hell is my ph-" She smiled, "There it is!"

"Seriously Bob ate the poncho?"

"Yup, Bob ate the poncho..." Haley rolled her eyes at the fact that not only did the dog eat her favorite item of clothing, but her mother decided to name the female dog after her. Haley had never been able to live down the fact that her middle name was Bob, and she liked to make up reasons for it. Like, it was a family name, or that her mother chose the name for some unselfish reason but the truth was simple...her mom was insane. Or as insane as a woman in labor can be. She continued to dig through her purse, "Now where the hell is my..."

Her voice faded out and Nathan felt like he was in the twilight zone, just yesterday he saw his best friend with her normal ratty green poncho and her matchingly normal auburn hair. Now when he looked at his best friend he saw her red shirt clinging to her body, he saw her long blonde hair flowing down her back...he saw a woman.

In the distance the first bell could be heard, "Dang it, I have to get to the Tutor Center...save me a seat at lunch ok?"

Nathan said nothing just watched her walk away.

The rest of the day Nathan found himself starring more than talking. At lunch Haley, like she did, rambled on about her day, every once and awhile poking him to make sure he was paying attention.

After school he pulled the car to the curb of the Cafe, "Just call when you want me to pick you up..."

Haley once again grabbed her things from his car, "Are you sure your ok Nate?"

"Fine..." He turned away from her, "Just call or text or whatever...and I'll come get you."

Haley shook her head in agreement and exited the car.

A few minutes later Nathan pulled into his driveway. He put the car in park and sat for a moment, catching his reflection in the rear view mirror, "Seriously?" He asked himself. "It's Haley...you are freaking out over Haley. The girl who peed her pants at a haunted house when she was ten!?" He ran a frustrated hand through his hair, "So she has friggin' blonde hair now...and lost that hideous poncho...this isn't some stupid teen movie...she's still the same person, she's still...Haley." As her name left his lips he could feel them curl into a smile, "Oh come on!" He pounded his hands onto the steering wheel.

Haley sat at the table by the window at Karen's Cafe, reading through the chapters her teacher had assigned her. There was something about the Cafe that helped relax her, she and Nathan had been coming there since they were kids and it helped that Karen, Nathan's aunt, owned the place. So they never had to worry about a tab.

Haley could hear the bell on the door behind her ring as a new patron entered the Cafe, but she paid it no mind. She continued with her reading, brushing her curls away from her face. She lightly chuckled at the thought of one of the few comments Nathan had made, his usual teasing that she was studying on the first day of school.

She was in the middle of a paragraph when she saw an arm reach over her and set a glass in front of her, "Excuse me?" She questioned while turning her attention to the stranger.

His tall frame took a seat next to her, he smiled, "You looked thirsty."

Haley took in the sight of him, his dark chocolate curls, his deep brown eyes, his leather jacket...she had seen plenty of good looking men, but he was undeniably beautiful. Her words stammered together, "I-I ah...Do I know you?"

"No..." He smiled once more, "But I'd like to change that."

Haley didn't know why, but she felt an unfamiliar comfort with him. It took a moment but she finally smiled back.

Let me know! :)
