Chapter Two: The Scott Infatuation
Finally, it was lunch time and everyone was sitting outside. Haley soon joined her new friends and everyone smiled as she sat down.
"So, how are you enjoying your first day so far?" Jake asked, biting into his burger.
"It's not bad. I have you in my chem class, Lucas in my English class, Peyton in my geometry class, and then I have Brooke in study hall. I met this kid, Mouth, in the hallway and I got a job at the tutoring center."
"And you told off Rachel Gatina." Brooke reminded her for about the fifth time.
"I know, thank you Brooke."
"I didn't know you tutored." Peyton said.
"Yeah, I really like it. I love teaching things to people."
"Do you think you could teach me how to strut down the catwalk?" Lucas asked, jokingly.
"I don't think the best teacher in the world could teach you how to do it properly." Brooke joked.
The table started to laugh and Haley put her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I think you could do it."
"Really?"
"Not a chance." Haley said as she bit into her salad. The group started to laugh even more.
A shadow covered Haley's backside and when she looked up her eyes connected with the gorgeous blue eyes see saw earlier.
"Hey Haley."
"Nathan."
"Listen, can I talk to you please?"
Haley was a little uneasy about it and obviously could tell.
"Please, I just want to talk a second."
"Okay." She got up and turned to the rest of her table. "Excuse me a moment."
OTH
The finally reached a solitary corner and both sat down. There was a silence for a while but finally Haley spoke up.
"You said you needed to talk."
"Oh yeah, so I was talking to my coach today and my grades are really starting to go downhill."
"It's only been a couple weeks." Haley countered. It was true, she had just entered her junior year about two weeks late.
"I know, but really, they are hitting rock bottom pretty quickly."
"What do you need me for?"
"Well, I was going by the tutor center and I saw you signing up and I was wondering if maybe you could tutor me."
"I don't know." Haley said uncomfortably.
"Please, I promise, just until my grades come up. Then we can stop."
Haley thought about it for a moment. "Okay."
"Really?" Haley got up and Nathan followed her lead. "You would?"
"Yeah, meet me at the docks today after school, bring the books that you'll need."
"Okay." Nathan said. Haley was just about to turn away but Haley grabbed her arm. A sudden went off between the two. "And thanks, it means a lot."
"No problem, Nathan, really, it's my pleasure." Haley said blushing, loving the feeling of him touching her. He let go and headed off towards the school building as Haley headed back to the table.
"What was that all about tutor girl?" Brooke asked when Haley finally arrived.
"Tutor girl?"
"Brooke gives everybody nicknames." Jake explained.
"It means she likes you." Peyton added.
"Oh well, it was nothing, Tigger."
"Tigger?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, because your so bouncy and energetic."
"She's got you there Cheery." Lucas said.
"Yeah." Brooke put her arm around Haley's shoulder. "Maybe you'll fit in here afterall."
The end of lunch bell rang and as the group collected their trays, Peyton made a general announcement.
"Do you guys want to come over after school."
"Yeah." everybody but Haley answered.
"Haley, why didn't you agree?"Brooke asked
"I have to tutor after school. But I can swing by after."
"Okay, where are you tutoring, I can just pick you up." Lucas offered.
"The docks."
"You know where the docks are?"
"Yeah, I remember seeing them when Issac was driving me around town yesterday."
"Whose Issac?" Peyton asked.
"My driver."
"You have a driver? Sweet, I am so riding with you more often." Brooke said, "It totally beats Broody's hunk of junk."
"Hey, standing right here ya know."
"I know, that's a hint to get a better car." the group laughed as they headed their separate ways. Haley and Brooke were headed to study hall.
"So who are you tutoring?"
Haley walked by Nathan and smiled. To her surprise he smiled back, until his bitch of a girlfriend pulled away. She was thinking about him until Brooke's hand flying in front of her face obscured her vision.
"Earth to tutorgirl."
"Huh?"
"I asked, who are you tutoring?"
A smiled spread across Haley's face. "Nathan Scott."
