No One Compares-

Summary: Haley James and Nathan Scott have been best friends since they were in diapers, however they have both had more than 'just friends' feelings about each other for years. Everything was going great on their senior year until Nathan got a girlfriend; Peyton Sawyer. Major Naley/Minor Brucas.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my brain.

A/N: In my story Haley and Peyton will not hate each other, they will actually later on become friends. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Chapter 3- Four Plus Peyton?

Karen's-

Haley walked into Karens, which she joked was her 'second home.' She started over to her normal spot when she stopped, the group wasn't in their normal booth but a new, bigger booth.

"Hales!" Haley heard Nathan yell, signaling for her to join them.

Haley looked and noticed the reason for the booth change, Peyton sitting across from Nathan.

"I saved your seat," Nathan said grinning.

"Thanks," Haley said still dazed as she slid in beside Nathan.

"So Haley," Peyton said, "Nathan tells me that you're the smartest tutor in the school, that's impressive."

"I am not," Haley said blushing. She was never good at taking compliments.

"She's so modest," Nathan said smiling at Haley.

"That's our Hales," Lucas said.

This whole time, Brooke said quietly observing Peyton's behavior, and noting ways to help get her away from Plan Naley. She liked the girl, but in Brooke's eyes, Nathan and Haley should be together.

Later that night after the group had parted ways, Nathan drove Haley home like he always did since they lived so close together.

Gym-Next Day

Haley had just finished dressing for gym when Brooke came running up to her.

"Whoa," Haley said.

"Peyton's in our gym class too," Brook said.

"Oh," was all Haley said.

Brooke and Haley walked into the gym and noticed Peyton and Nathan laughing about something.

Haley couldn't help but feel jealous of Nathan and Peyton's new closeness as she watched them continue to talk and giggle.

Haley and Brooke chose to sit on the other side of the gym, as usual they had another free day, Coach Scott gave you a grade if you dressed out so it didn't matter if you did anything or not.

Haley brought out her science book and began studying as Brooke looked through a magazine.

"Watch out!" came a voice as Haley narrowly avoided a flying basketball.

"You okay?" came the voice of a cute blond haired guy.

"Yeah," Haley said catching her breath.

"I'm Chris Keller," the guy said holding out his hand.

Brooke started laughing when she saw the boy hold his hand out.

"I'm Haley,' Haley said shaking his hand.

"Oh, Nate's best friend," Chris said.

"You know me?" Haley asked curiously

"Yeah, he gave all the guys on the team a warning not to go near you, ask you out, etc." Chris said.

Haley glared at Nathan, who was watching Chris very closely.

"Well, see you later," Chris said walking down the bleachers.

"Yeah, and Nathan doesn't like you?" Brooke said with a smirk.

Haley rolled her eyes at Brooke then noticed Nathan and Peyton walking up the bleachers towards them.

"What did Keller want?" Nathan asked a little too angrily.

"Nothing, just apologizing for almost taking my head off with that basketball, you know you should get better touchdown-makers," Haley said.

"Baskets, Hales," Nathan couldn't help but laugh at her. She was too cute when she tried to figure out basketball.

"I still cant figure out basketball either, Haley," Peyton said lightly, "Nathan tried to show me but it didn't work."

"Broody tried to show me once, but I told him not to waste his time," Brooke said.

They all laughed at Brooke as Lucas walked up.

"Hey Broody," Brooke said running into his arms.

"Hey Cheery," Lucas said twirling her in the air, "have practice tonight?"

"Yes," Brooke said excitedly, "Haley, I've got the perfect lift for you."

Haley sighed, she knew what this meant.

"It wouldn't involve Haley breaking her arm again, like in freshman year, would it?" Nathan asked jokingly.

FLASHBACK:

'Haley," Brooke said, "on the count of three , we'll lift you up and then you lift your leg up, and fall back down, ok?"

Haley wasn't so sure about this, she wasn't the most balanced girl, and she was a little afraid of heights. "Okay…," She said slowly.

Haley walked in place and heard Brooke count to three before being lifted in the air. 'Maybe this isn't so bad,' Haley thought.

"Okay, tutor-girl," Brooke yelled, "lift your leg up."

Haley reached for her leg but stumbled and felt herself fall through the arms of her lifters and landed on the ground, straight on her left arm.

"Umm, Brooke?" Haley said, "this doesn't look good," She finished holding out her left arm which was unnaturally twisted.

END FLASHBACK

"You had to carry my stuff for like two months," Haley said to Nathan laughing.

"I know," He said laughing back.

"Are you holding auditions?" Peyton asked. "I used to cheer at my old school."

"Well," Brooke said, "we do have an opening where that whore Teresa moved."

Haley couldn't help but laugh whenever Brooke referred to Teresa, it was no secret that Brooke couldn't stand that girl.

"Great," Peyton said, "I'll be there."
