Chapter 2: An Unexpected Breakfast Guest

Haley woke up around 11am the next day. Still in her shorts and cami from the night before, she walked into the kitchen and started making breakfast. She cooked scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. "The Works" as her mom called it. When everything was done cooking she got herself a plate of food and before she could even sit down the doorbell rang.

"Who the hell could that be?" Haley said as she quickly put her long, golden hair in a messy bun to keep it out of her face. When she opened the door she saw a familiar face from school.

"Hi. Uh. I'm Nathan Scott. I'm looking for Taylor James. Do I have the wrong house?"

"Nope. Taylor's my sister but she's asleep right now. A little tired from you rocking her world last night…so to speak."

Nathan laughed. "She told you about that?"

Haley nodded.

"Well that's the thing. She left her cell phone at my dads beach house and I just wanted to bring it back. It woke me up actually, it's been ringing like crazy. I swear if I hear the ring tone 'Party Like A Rockstar' one more time I might kill myself."

This time it was Haley's turn to laugh. "I'm Haley" she said holding out her hand.

Nathan shook it. "Nathan"

"So, Nathan, I made way too much food and I don't think Taylor will be getting up anytime soon to eat it…so do you want some?" Haley asked.

"Uh. Yeah sure" he replied.

Haley led him into the kitchen and got him a plate. "Get whatever's left"

"Thanks." Nathan got his food and sat down at the table next to Haley.

"So you and Taylor look alike" Nathan said trying to make conversation.

"Well, we are sisters…" Haley replied bluntly.

Nathan laughed. "No, I mean, I just…never mind"

"I'm just messing with you, Nathan" Haley said.

Nathan looked straight into Haley's eyes. It gave Haley this awkward feeling in the pit of her stomach. A good feeling.

"Nice outfit" Nathan said sarcastically taking a bite of food. Then he smiled.

Haley gave him a playful dirty look. "They're pajamas, Nathan"

"I'm just messing with you, Haley" Nathan said mimicking Haley's comment from a minute before.

This made Haley laugh, which in turn made Nathan laugh.

"You have a cute laugh" he said.

"Uh…thanks" Haley replied.

"So what grade are you in?" Nathan asked after swallowing a bite of food.

"11th" Haley answered.

"You're in my grade? That's funny. How come you don't come to any parties? I've never seen you before"

Haley took a sip of her orange juice. "Parties aren't really my scene."

"Oh, That's weird, I mean with Taylor as your sister I figured you'd be a big party girl like her" Nathan took a bite of bacon.

"Nope…so you've never seen me before? I mean, I'm at all your games. Lucas is my best friend. Don't you guys ever talk?"

"Yeah but were not like really close. I mean we're cool but it's just kinda weird you know?"

Haley nodded. "I understand"

"So what about you? If you don't hang at parties what do you do?"

"Um. Actually, I'm a tutor" Haley answered.

"Oh really? That's cool. Maybe you can help me at math sometime then. My pre-cal grade isn't exactly the greatest" Nathan said.

"Yeah. Sure"

Nathan finished his breakfast and got up and rinsed his plate and put it in the sink. "Thanks for breakfast Haley"

"No problem" she replied.

"Hey, do me a favor. Don't tell Taylor I stopped by. Last night was a random hookup and that sounds bad but we were both pretty wasted. I don't want her thinking its gonna be anything more than that. Besides, I'm interested in someone else" he smiled the most beautiful smile Haley had ever seen. His gorgeous, deep blue eyes sparkled. She almost couldn't speak but she managed to stutter out a few words.

"Yeah, sure. I won't tell"

Nathan walked towards that door. Haley followed.

"It was nice to meet you Haley"

"You too" Haley replied.

"I'll see you around" Nathan said as he exited the house.

"Bye" Haley waved and closed the door behind him. She turned around, her back against the door. She didn't know what was going on or what she was feeling but she liked it. The only bummer was that he was interested in someone else. Just then Taylor entered the kitchen.

"Who just left?" she asked.

Haley smiled. "No one" she said quietly.
