Chapter 3- Watch your Back
It was a rainy Monday morning and they were already into their fifth week of university. Haley sat at her desk in English, scribbling on her finished quiz and was thinking. She was not very happy. Jamie seemed to be stealing her best friend Lucas, Brooke was always ditching her for Rachel and Nathan was so busy with basketball practices lately.
Haley looked over at Nikki and gave her a look. Haley hated Nikki. Nikki looked up and smiled slightly at Haley. She ripped a piece off of a piece of paper and started to write. Haley looked away and continued to scribble.
Then she felt someone poke her on the back. Haley looked and saw Nikki. Nikki handed her a piece of crumpled up paper. Haley looked at Nikki and took it as Nikki winked at her. Haley flattened out the piece of paper. It was a note for her that said:
"Watch your back"
Haley looked over at Nikki, giving her a puzzled look. Nikki flicked her hair away from her face and looked away from Haley.
"Psst," Haley whispered, "Nikki, what do you mean?"
"No talking!" the teacher ordered as he collected Haley's test.
"Sorry Mr. Baker," Haley mumbled.
Mr. Baker collected all the quizzes and went up to the front of the room.
"Okay, you all will receive your quizzes back tomorrow, and a reminder that your William Shakespeare essays are due on Friday and there is a test on it during Friday's class as well."
The bell rang. Lunch break.
Haley quickly put her books in her bag and rushed out of the room to catch up to Nikki.
"Nikki!" Haley called running after Nikki.
Nikki turned a corner. Haley weaved through the crowd of people and turned the corner.
She had lost Nikki.
"Where did she go?" Haley said quietly to herself.
"Who?"
Haley jumped then turned around.
"Nathan," Haley squealed, "You scared me!"
Haley greeted him with a hug and a kiss.
"How was your morning?" Nathan asked putting his arm around her as they walked down the hall.
"Fine," Haley replied, "Let's go take a walk outside,"
"Sorry Hales, I can't I have basketball practice."
Haley groaned and stopped walking.
"Now the coach has you doing basketball during lunch break?" Haley said furuiously, "People need to eat, and spend time with others."
"I'm sorry Haley, but we need all the practice we can get; besides we have a game on Friday."
Haley frowned.
"Why don't you come watch?"
"I don't know..."
"Please Haley?" Nathan begged.
"Alright fine," Haley replied.
Nathan grinned. Haley smiled slightly.
"Great lets go," Nathan said grabbing her hand.
They then rushed off to the gym.
In the girls' gym change room:
Brooke quickly slipped on her new cheerleading outfit, smiling. She was so excited and happy that she was a Blue Devil cheerleader. She looked at the other cheerleaders in the change room. The newest cheerleaders were Brooke, Rachel, Nikki, Jamie and four other girls named Melissa, Erin, Jordi, and Daniella. The captain was Meghan and the co-captain was Madison, aka Madi. Meghan was a snob and Madi was well, a little too blonde. This means she is pretty dumb.
"All right girls lets go," Meghan yelled. Moment's later. When Brooke followed the rest of the cheerleaders into the gym she smiled as she saw the basketball players.
She then walked over to Rachel, Jamie and Nikki.
"Oh my god you guys, look!" Brooke squealed.
"Theses guys are gorgeous!" Jamie shouted.
"Dam right they are," Rachel replied.
"Your right girls, they are hot," Nikki said smirking as she looked in the direction of one of the players that just entered the gym along with a girl.
"You're late Nathan!" Coach Brock barked.
"Sorry coach, it won't happen again."
"It better not," Coach Brock warned.
"Catch!"
Lucas had thrown a basketball that was flying in Nathan's direction. Nathan caught it was soon as it hit his chest and his hands. Nathan then dribbled past the other players and put it in the basket.
"Yea Nathan!" Haley yelled as she took a seat on the stands.
"That's my husband," Haley whispered to herself smiling.
Haley looked over at the cheerleaders, who were stretching and saw Nikki. Nikki ran over to Nathan and smiled.
"Nice shot superstar," Nikki said.
"Uh thanks Nikki." Nathan replied.
"No problem."
Nikki then whispered something in Nathan's ear. Nathan and Nikki laughed and Nikki looked over at Haley. Haley glared at Nikki as she walked back to the cheerleaders smirking at Haley. Haley couldn't understand why Nathan even spoke a word to Nikki. He knew how horrible she was.
The whole time, Haley was angry as she watched Nikki do cheer routines with the other girls.
Then there was Jamie. She was nice and all but she seemed to be replacing Lucas's best friend.
"I'm supposed to be Lucas's best friend not Jamie," Haley said in her head.
An hour later, the whistle blew.
"That's it for today," Coach Brock yelled, "Remember the game on Friday night at 5 sharp!"
After everyone came out of the change rooms, Jamie went over to Lucas. They were talking and joking around. Laughing like they were old friends. Haley grabbed her bag and books and started walking towards the doors. She heard a scream. Haley looked behind her.
It was Jamie. Jamie then started laughing when Lucas almost knocked her over. Haley frowned. She was full of jealousy inside. Jamie and Nikki weren't making college very fun.
As Haley walked out of the gym, she heard Nikki behind her.
"God Nathan you are such a loser!"
Haley was angry.
"Hey Hales, Haley!" Nathan called after her.
Haley started walking faster. Nathan caught up.
"Whoa slow down, what's wrong?" Nathan asked.
"Oh you should know," Haley said angrily.
"What?"
Haley stopped and gave Nathan a look.
"Nikki."
"Nikki?"
"Yes Nikki," Haley yelled "How can you like that horrible person after well everything!"
"I don't like her; well I do as a friend and all"
"That's nice," Haley said sounding annoyed.
"Listen Haley I'm sorry but she is nice and she has changed"
Haley laughed.
"Nikki hasn't changed, she's a bitch and she always will be."
"Haley you're overreacting."
"I don't want to hear it, talk to me when you actually agree with and listen to your wife."
"Haley!" Nathan yelled as she walked away.
Haley left, heading to her room with her head feeling hot.
Later that day, Lucas went to Haley's dorm and knocked on the door.
Rachel opened the door.
"Hey Lucas," Rachel said as she smiled.
"Hey Rachel, is Hales here?"
"Haley, you have a visitor," Rachel called.
Lucas walked in and saw Haley at her desk on the computer.
Haley looked up and smiled.
"Lucas!"
"Hey Hales, what's up?"
"Oh nothing much," Haley said, returning to the computer screen, "Except, that I'm talking to Peyton."
"Tell her I say hi."
Haley looked at him.
"That's it?"
Lucas shrugged his shoulders.
"What?"
"The girl you're totally in love with that you haven't seen for like ever that is in L.A and all you have to say to her is hi?"
'Haley, I'm confused is it you, or Lucas that is in love with Peyton?" Rachel joked.
Haley rolled her eyes. As she opened her mouth to insult Rachel as Brooke walked in along with Nikki.
"Hey Brooke, um Nikki," Lucas said.
"Hi Lucas," Nikki replied.
"We are here to tell you boring people that there is a party just outside of town, Friday night," Brooke said excitedly.
"That is if you people are up for it," Nikki cut in.
Haley frowned.
"A party?"
"That's right," Brooke said.
"I can't I Have basketball,"
"Don't worry, it's after your precious basketball game at 9," Nikki explained.
"I'm not going," Haley mumbled.
"Come on Haley," Brooke whined.
"I'm there," Lucas said.
"Nathan and I will be there," Nikki blurted out.
Haley glared at Nikki.
"I'm so there,"
Nikki smirked.
"Great."
On Friday in English class, Haley had a test.
Nikki kept poking her.
"Grow up!" Haley whispered angrily.
"No talking!" the teacher ordered.
A few minutes later, Nikki then put gum in her hair.
Haley felt her hair and then felt the gum.
"Oh my god, Nikki I've had it with you!"
Mr. Baker walked over to Haley's desk and ripped up her test. Haley was shocked.
"Mr. Baker that was my test,"
"I know, and it will be a zero,"
"What?" Haley said, "I-I never get zeros!"
"Maybe you should stop talking,"
"But, Nikki put gum in my hair and she's driving me insane."
Nikki started laughing.
"Monday. Detention for Haley and Nikki."
Nikki suddenly stopped laughing.
"What?"
The bell rang.
"Have a nice day everyone," Mr. Baker said.
"First you flirt with my husband now make me get a zero and a detention?"
"I told you to watch your back."
"Whatever,"
"The fun is just getting started, see you tonight," Nikki said as she winked and walked out of the classroom.
Nathan and Lucas:
"Awesome party eh?" Nathan said.
"Yea," Lucas said taking a sip of a beer.
Rachel and Nikki walked over.
"Hello boys"
"What are fine guys like you doing by yourselves?" Nikki asked.
"I don't know. I hope Haley is okay, she is mad at me," Nathan replied.
'Oh that's too bad, come Nathan I want to show you something," Nikki said.
Nikki and Nathan headed to a room.
Nikki closed the door.
"This is a bedroom"
"I know," Nikki said smiling.
Nikki walked close to Nathan and put her arms around him. Nathan pulled her off.
"Come on, you know you want to, besides Haley won't know, it will be our little secret."
Haley and Brooke:
"Let's go," Haley said.
"No," Brooke said, "Besides its 10 and we are already late so we might was well stay,"
"Hey ladies," Rachel said smiling.
"Hey Rachel have you seen Nathan or Nikki?"
"Uh yea they went down that hall and in the room at the end of it," Rachel said pointing down a hallway.
Haley moved through the crowd of people heading down the hall.
She opened the door at the end of the hall stopped dead.
There standing in the room were Nathan and Nikki.
Nikki's arms were around him and she was kissing his lips.
