HALEY FERGUSON

No duh Haley knew. It was just a matter of whether people would believe her or not.

Haley Ferguson was the perfect person. Talented singer, talented dancer, talented shopper...She was rich and hot too and boys fell all over her all the time. Especially when she was, like, up on stage shaking her booty at Karaoke Dokie which was a karaoke restaurant hang out place that her wealthy father owned. Did she mention that he was rich? Well he was, just if you were wondering.

Now, because Haley was a perfect person, Haley could get anyone she wanted. She only had to smile at a boy and that boy, even if he was taken, would probably faint from the excitement that she was taking time out of her precious day to acknowledge his existence. Scratch that. Would undeniably faint. Sometimes she wondered if, like, boys' reactions to her were just because of her daddy's money though, instead of her charming appearance, but always brushed it off because she knew that she had a great personality, even if she was nicknamed mini Jayde Nicole. It didn't matter though because the boys loved her for her so when Haley wanted someone, Haley snatched them easily.

Except for Beck Oliver. But she liked to forget that unfortunate occurrence with the boy and his dreamy smooth hair, creamy brown eyes, baby soft skin, luscious red lips, deep melodic voice that could just set her afire with jealousy, and, OMG, so, so much more. Jade West was, like, a lucky grunch, especially since she wasn't even straight.

Why would someone as heterosexual and beautiful as Beck Oliver go out with some lesbian that always had the worst attitude and the most uncute clothes on in the entire universe? It was like he was blind, but he wasn't actually, because once Haley waved her hand in front of his eyes and he told her to knock it off, so he definitely could see so there was no reason whatsoever that he couldn't recognize what was going on with Jade and C...Ca...Catherine, or whatever her name was (Haley could never remember because the girl's name wasn't important enough to bother to commit to memory), that was taking place literally right in front of his amazing chocolate eyes.

It really, like, upset Haley to watch him and the way he would, like, cuddle with his girlfriend when she totally wasn't into him. Why couldn't he see that Haley was into him? Sure she loved a different guy almost every week, but Beck would always hold a special spot in her heart and it hurt her to know that the girl that he loved was cheating on him...and, like, with another girl too.

It's not like Haley hadn't seen Jade and Cat's performance at Karaoke Dokie. It was cruelly obvious that something was going on between them. They were literally grinding up against each other and then they would turn and look into each other's eyes, belting out the song. It was like they were totes singing for one another and there was no audience. Just them and their very physical dance moves. Extremely physical more like. Now at first Haley had just thought that they were having fun like any pair of Biffles would and being adorbs, but then it went past that. Way past that. It, like, totally crossed the line. Awks. Haley may be prone to over exaggerating things, and she may tell a white lie now and again, but there was absolutely no denying that the two girls up on stage had something going on that surpassed friendship. Even when they were off stage, there was something about the way Gay Jade put her hand on the ugly red head's shoulder and comfortingly said that her stupid insult was fine (BTWs, it was horrible) that had put Haley on edge, her gaydar nearly breaking. It was just so blatantly obvious and she was surprised to learn that pretty much everyone thought Jade was straight.

Yeah, no. Excuse her, but there was just no freakin' way. The people at Hollywood Arts were stupid to think that she was in love with Beck. Haley could just tell from one small encounter she had with the two other girls- just one- that Jade was a homosexual. There was no doubt in her head that Jade and the synthetic red head were in love.

Gross.

And the worst part was, no one knew about it except for her.

...So what better to do than to make it so that everyone knew the dirty shameful secret?

Now Haley went to Sherwood; an unimportant school with unimportant teachers that taught unimportant students who did unimportant things. But, as unpopular and stupid as it was, there was one relatively important aspect of it and that was gossip. Juicy, fatty, lovely gossip that could turn someone's world clear upside down or welcome them into the realm of popularity. Gossip in Sherwood was prominent and the only thing anyone ever cared about. So if there was one place all the other schools went to grab their daily dose of seemingly harmless rumors, it was Sherwood. The trending topics were always found at Sherwood because for some reason, Sherwood was where all the drama happened. Thank the Lord or Haley would have dropped out ages ago.

Anyway, if she could just get someone to believe her about Jade being gay, then all the school districts interlocked with Sherwood would hear about it because Sherwood was gossip central and all the current issues would circulate around a few nearby towns. It was the perfect way to destroy Jade for thinking she could beat her in singing as well as to get her single so that Haley could move in and steal the guy. That handsome, olive skinned man. OMG it made her shiver so badly.

So she set out to do just that.

"Hey Brooke, I'm going to need your help," Haley quickly explained, sidling up beside the popular black haired girl. Brooke was the resident Prom Queen at Sherwood and everyone respected her. She was the top girl and even Haley knew not to mess with that fact.

"With what?" Brooke inquired.

"Just to spread something around...Guess who I saw at my daddy's karaoke place the other day," Haley baited her and Brooke narrowed her green eyes at the shorter girl.

"Who?"

"Jade West and C...Cathy...that red haired girl from Hollywood Arts," Haley grinned devilishly, a spark lighting up her eyes. She gave a maniacal short laugh and flipped her hair. Commonly this was the moment where Brooke usually said she was having a diva fit, of which were many, but she didn't speak up and a slightly uncomfortable silence fell.

"If you have something to say, then spit it out," Brooke ordered.

"Well...I'm not sure how to put this...-"

"I'm sure you can think of a way."

"But, they're gay," Haley shrugged, almost innocently, her eyebrows shooting up making the Who-Would-Of-Guessed face that her dad swore she practiced in the mirror everyday before she went to school. "They were totes checking each out while they were singing. Can you believe it?"

"Actually...I can't. You're always making stuff up. If you tell me one more fake stupid lie, then I'm going to ditch you. You're going to ruin my rep," Brooke growled and then sped up to walk with the boy in front of them, leaving Haley completely confused as to how she was ruining Brooke's reputation and why the girl wasn't trusting her. Didn't everyone lie once in a while? It was natural.

Haley trudged away from that disheartened, but not ready to throw the towel in. There was still so many other people that she could tell. Like, take for example, her BFF Kelly...actually, they got in a fight the other day...There was her other BFF Taylor...but they also had a fallout...Haley went through a long mental list in her head of all the people she couldn't tell and by the time she had finished, school was over and she would have to call if she wanted to tell anyone at all.

So she did.

She called the only person that hadn't been crossed off on her list. Kyle.

"What do you want Haley?" he answered drearily and Haley could practically feel the tiredness coming off of him in waves.

"Are you alright?"

"Just peachy. Why are you calling?"

"Well-"

"Wait, before you start, I just wanted to say this better not be like last time where you dump all your problems on me because you lost some of your friends or something, because, just like last time, I hardly know you. Like at all. I really, really don't know you and you kinda need to stop calling all the damn time..."

"It's not that, I promise," Haley assured him, getting a little peeved. What was with everyone and inadvertently saying she was a diva?

A loud sigh resonated from the other end of the phone line. "Fine. Continue with whatever in the world you were going to say. Just, please. Please make it quick. I'm begging you. You can't see me right now, but I'm on the floor, on my knees, pleading, holding my hands up in the sky, shaking, pra-"

"Anyway," Haley cut him off, "I need you to tell everyone at school what I'm going to tell you."

"Why don't you just do it yourself?"

"That's not important, now is it?" Haley asked, folding her arm over her chest, waiting for him to answer.

"No...?" came the response a few seconds later.

"Good, glad you understand. Anyway, as I was saying for the hundredth millionth time, I need you to tell everyone this. Jade West and Ca...the red haired girl from Hollywood Arts are totally gay for each other."

"...Are you telling the truth?" Kyle questioned skeptically.

"Obvi stupid!" Haley yelled into the pear phone.

"So...you want me to try and ruin these two people's lives by spreading around a rumor that you claim is true even though you make up things every other day?"

"...Pretty much. Where did we have the miscommunication?"

"Right...Well...I don't know how to put this, but...I'm not even popular. No one would care or believe me even if I did tell everyone. I'm just a loser. Not important...And wow, I'm depressing myself right now...I think I'm going to go Haley-"

"No wait!"

"Bye," Kyle dismissed her and then hung up, the line going dead, beeping once.

Haley stared at her phone in disbelief. Utter horror. How could her brilliant plan have failed so simply? She wanted- no, needed to spill this wonderful realization about Jade West. She needed to get to Beck...

Haley clutched her pear phone tight as she thought about Beck Oliver. She would get him, and she would reveal Jade for the lezbo she really was. Not that she had anything personal against homosexuals- it's just that for some reason a good portion of people hated them due to religious reasons or, like, something so if she could expose Jade as the lesbian she was, then the world would hate her. Complicated logic, but it worked.

Haley sat down on her bed and contemplated a plan and ended up falling asleep as she thought, drooling on her phone that she was noisily and slobbery kissing as she dreamt.

The next day Haley woke up early, refreshed and ready for school. But not for Sherwood. Oh no. Not Sherwood at all. She would go to Hollywood Arts for the day, slinking around until around lunch time where she would pop up by Jade West and scream to the whole high school that Jade was in love with that ugly red head.

Haley swiftly got ready for "school" and applied the best make up she owned and curled her hair. She put on some heels and a nice skirt accompanied with a dressy shirt. She wanted to look nice when she saw Beck again. Oh, Beck. The boy's name sent shivers up her spine every time she said or even thought it.

Haley raced to Hollywood Arts and hid in the bushes, observing as the students walked into their classes. Half of the day passed like that until it was around lunch time and she went around back of the school to wait for Jade and Beck and that other girl to show up. It took about thirty or so minutes, but finally Jade strutted to the lunch table, sitting down besides the short girl and a creepy, girly looking boy with a puppet. Across from her was Tori, or so she thought was her name, and a dude with dreadlocks. But where was Beck?

Oh, there he was.

Beck came up to the table, but to her surprise, he sat next to the boy with the brown hair. Did Jade and Beck get into a fight? Haley's frown, that she hadn't known was on her face, turned upside down into a smile.

Showtime.

Haley casually walked towards the gang, giving a few flips of her hair and settling her hand on her hip. The walk turned into a sashay as she got closer to Beck and she winked at him, loving the way his hair looked.

"Hello idiots and Beck," she greeted them. "'Member me?"

"No, I forgot," Jade barked and Tori glared up at her. Touchy. The little red head gazed up at her too for a few seconds before she locked eyes with her and the red head's eyebrows furrowed and a frown spread clear across her face like she just remembered who Haley was.

"No...Not really. Who are you?" the boy with the puppet asked and Haley rolled her eyes.

"And are you single?" Haley nearly jumped as the puppet talked in a weird accent. She ignored the question though and gazed longingly at Beck.

"The question is, is Beck single," she smiled and Beck awkwardly looked to the side.

"Yeah, but why does it matter?" the boy with the dreadlocks said and Haley blinked in surprise.

"He is?" She was not expecting that bomb, even though she had asked the question. What she had expected was for Jade to hop up and curse her out for hitting on her boyfriend, er, ex-boyfriend...

"Can we please stop talking about me like I'm not here?" Beck asked, annoyed.

"Um..." Haley stuttered, completely lost. She had planned out everything that she was going to say, but now it was all messed up..."Yeaaah, well...Jade's gay," she blurted out bluntly after deciding to just go ahead and get to the point. The gang stared at her for a moment or two before the dread lock boy stood up and his fists slammed against the lunch table.

"Get out of here," he commanded.

"I think you better listen to him," Jade threatened, also rising and Haley backed up.

"Fine, but call me Beck," Haley tried to seduce him and took the number she had written out on a piece of paper in the morning out of her bra and threw it to him. It didn't make it though and lazily floated to the ground.

Haley took that as her cue to leave, absolutely baffled.

Haley was aware and Haley tried to tell everyone she knew, but no one ended up believing the diva; not even Beck who left her number on the ground for the janitor to throw out later.

DANIEL "DANNY"

Danny wasn't ever totally sure, but he wasn't about to pass up the chance that two smoking girls might make out. If he could, he would be there when their lips locked. Don't judge- he's just human. Plus, if they didn't turn out to be hot for each other, then he could always have a cute, ditzy girlfriend.

He had nothing to lose.

The minute Kyle told him about the conversation he had with Haley, Danny's brain violently jumpstarted and immediately he thought of a million and one sexy scenarios, but then his boy brain began to think of a plan to catch them in an act.

"Dan? Danny. Hey, Daniel!" Kyle nearly screamed, waving his hand in front of Danny's eyes. "I hope you know this is totally made up dude. There's no way Haley isn't making it up for attention or something. It's just another of her stupid schemes...Dude...Dude, you're spacing out again! It's freaking me out. Stop it...You're licking your lips..."

Danny snapped back to earth and gave Kyle a glare. "But what if it is true? It'd be...awesome. It's Jade freakin' West. Damn it, how could you not be into it?"

"You sound so sick right now. Like, extremely. I'm just going to go. Don't hurt yourself," Kyle dismissed Danny and walked away leaving Danny all alone with his thoughts and to think. And oh boy did Danny think. Danny thunk harder and more intensely than ever before. His whole being had shook with the amount of effort it took to plan out a strategy to get Jade and the girl with red hair together...What was her name?...Cat. That was it. She was the only one with red hair in Hollywood Arts, so it couldn't be anyone else.

Danny smiled as he formulated his plan all through the night and into the next day. He wasn't the brightest so he took time to contrive the perfect plan. A lot of time. Luckily for him, all the work paid off and soon Danny was able to ask out one Caterina Hannah Valentine who agreed to go to the movies with him because she found his smile cute.

He found his smile cute too.

For a day, Danny and Cat's relationship went smoothly, although there was no girl on girl action. So the next day, Danny decided he would try and spend it at Cat's school to see how her and Jade interacted. Danny showed up unexpectedly at Cat's lunch and held his hands over her eyes and adoringly asked her to guess who (She guessed Beck and that slightly unsettled Danny, but he got over it). Little did she know, he didn't leave after lunch after it was over. He stuck around the whole day, attending two classes and spying on Jade and Cat. Not the smartest idea in the world because he was dealing with the incredibly unstable Wicked Witch of the West, but he took the chance. And it was worth it...kinda.

For the majority of the day, nothing happened. In fact, Jade and Cat hardly talked. It was almost like they were mad at each other, though there were no glares sent each other's way or anything. They just...didn't look at one another and that confused Danny. Were they having a problem or was Kyle right in saying that Haley totally made the "Cade" thing up?

Danny didn't have to wait long for his answer. After school when everyone left, he was going to hop in his jet black car and drive off, but apparently Jade and Cat had completely different plans than most of the student body. Jade gave Cat the first look all day and slowly and determinedly walked to the back of the building. Soon, Cat took a gulp and took off Jade in a fast, nervous pace. She tripped up the stairs and then began running. Danny stealthily followed behind until he arrived at...well, he wasn't even sure where he was. Some part of the building he had never seen. It was old, and the paint was chipping, and there were boxes in all the corners.

"Jade, what's wr-"

"You're cheating," Jade suddenly accused, pointing her finger angrily at the redhead.

"Jade...n-no...no, I-I'm not r-really," Cat stuttered, like she had known this was coming all along and mentally prepared for it, and anxiously glanced to the side. She was swallowing profusely and was paling. She looked a bit faint and her eyes batted like crazy. It was obvious she had been dreading this confrontation with Jade all day. Danny felt the urge to run out and hug her, but resisted the feeling.

"What? Did you think that I wouldn't notice or something? Because I'm not stupid like you, Cat. Are you trying to tell me something? Like, I'm not popular enough? That's what you're saying, isn't it!" It wasn't a question. Jade was yelling and even though she wasn't arguing with Danny, he still felt fear.

"N-N-No! I-I'm not s-saying t-t-"

"Oh yes you are!"

"But you're dating Beck!" Cat suddenly blurted out and then she started hyperventilating as she realized what she might have just triggered. She gingerly took a few steps back, her hands flying to her chest. Danny looked down at his feet briefly. He couldn't stand seeing such a sweet girl being tortured, unable to breath. He reached out a hand as if he was going after her, but drew back as Jade started snarling.

"Beck's not the same as Danny," the black haired girl retorted defensively.

"W-Why not?" Cat questioned, now fanning herself and grabbing onto a nearby shelf to keep from falling.

"Because. I don't need to give you an answer. You don't deserve one. You cheated on me!" Jade howled.

"I-I'm sorry! I-I'm s-s-so sorry!" Cat cried, her voice coming out in a whisper, barely audible.

"You don't seem to e-"

Suddenly there was a loud thud and Cat fell to the floor on her knees, holding her forehead in one hand and supporting her weight on the floor with the other.

"You always do this! You think you can just get away with something by falling to the floor! Well it's not going to work anymore Valentine, so you might as well get up," Jade shouted cruelly, wildly gesturing with her hands, a crazed look in her eye.

"D-Don't...m-m-mean to," Cat coughed and Danny couldn't take it anymore. He took a step towards the pair, but stopped when Jade fell to the floor besides Cat. She got up close to Cat's ear and whispered words that Danny couldn't hear. He knew they weren't good though by the scowl on Jade's face. The way her eyebrows sloped down into her eyes.

Cat burst into tears and then latched onto Jade's shirt as the black haired girl attempted to get to her feet. "D-Don't be mad at me," she cried. "I didn't mean it."

"Well you should've thought of that before."

"P-Please! I'll do anything!" Cat begged, her panic attack starting to pass as no more yelling was exchanged.

"...Anything?"

"At all!"

Jade sat back and contemplated Cat's answer for a bit before smirking widely.

"Great. You're going to owe me big time," she said, harshly hauling Cat to her feet. Cat rubbed her red nose and looked up at Jade.

"You f-forgive me?" she hiccuped.

"Oh, I forgive you," Jade nodded and Danny shivered at the icy tone she used.

"O-Okay," Cat stuttered and went up on her tippy toes in an attempt to kiss Jade on the nose, but the taller girl brushed her off and promptly power walked out the building. Danny pressed himself into the corner he was in, willing himself to be invisible. Luck was on his side, thank goodness, and nobody ever found out.

Later that night, Danny went with Cat to her school event and the redhead acted like everything was normal and that nothing had gone wrong. She was being her bubbly air headed self and her eyes were a bright brown, no red-ish tint to be seen. Danny was surprised, but played it off well and pretended to be an unfazed, perfect boyfriend for the girl that had just undergone so much trauma. It seemed to be working fine, until...until Jade gave Cat a look that was nearly indescribable and so not like Jade. At first, it was...hurt. Pain, like someone had stabbed her in the heart and twisted it. Then it morphed into hatred. Fiery, passionate hatred, like Danny had just stepped into the middle of a fire. But then...then at the end it was the worst. It was cold indifference and beside him he felt Cat freeze and then she hung her head so low like she had lost a battle.

Danny took a deep breath and realized what was going on. Cat was too nice to just abruptly break up with him. She was also to easy to hurt if...if he was to break up with her so that she could be okay with Jade. He would have to find a reason for her to break up with him that seemed reasonable.

So he did. And when he next saw Tori, he kissed his ex right on the lips, not because he loved her, but because he wanted Cat to make up with Jade. Their relationship seemed unfair to him, but he didn't know every aspect of it. Besides, it seemed both Cat and West were extremely upset over the breakdown in their relationship, so he had better stop thinking about how they interacted and just make Cat happy.

Soon enough, Cat dumped him and he apologized, but agreed it was for the best.

Danny wasn't a bad guy and he wanted Cat to be happy and his intention was never, not even in the beginning, to reveal to the world that Jade and Cat were together, so he just kept silence, the scene with Jade yelling at Cat replying over and over in his head. And when Kyle asked if they actually loved each other, he said no with a heavy heart.

Author's Note: Sorry for the wait :( Some stuff happened. And sorry because I found this really bad and I hate this chapter, but I can't just keep staring at it and willing it to be better. It's kinda OOC...:( sorry, Haley and Danny are hard...Blah, I'm sorry.

Anyway, I hope you at least kinda enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!
