First day jitters, everyone hated them and Haley had them pretty damn bad. She walked down the unfamiliar hallway with her new schedule in hand and dressed in the school uniform, which she thought looked ridiculous on her. She looked down at the piece of paper, first period English 12 with Ms. Manse Classroom 101, now where was 101 she wondered, this school was far to big.
The bell rang and she started to curse under her breath, "great now I'm going to be late" Finally she found the room and opened the door.
Ms. Manse looked up and smiled "you must be Haley James?"
"Yeah, that's me.." Haley shifted her knapsack on her shoulder. "sorry I'm late"
"it's fine, you're new to the school.. but lets not make it a habit.." she smiled then looked at the class "now take a seat next to.. Nathan Scott, you know which one he is?"
"Yeah, I've met him" Haley walked over and took a seat next to Nathan, she figured he hated her after telling Rachel off.
"Well Class, it's your first day of your senior year, how does everyone feel?" Ms. Manse asked and everyone cheered "i know many of have had me the last 3 years, some haven't and some are brand new the senior class so lets make them feel at home.. this year..."
Haley kinda dazed off on what her new teacher was saying and took in her surroundings, she felt like everyone was staring at her, she even heard someone say "isn't that the girl that told off Rachel Gatina last night?"
Nathan cleared his throat trying to get Haley's attention, "Haley.."
she turned and looked at him, she looked almost afraid "yeah...?"
"I'm sorry i snapped at you last night about what you said to Rachel.."
Haley sighed and turned in her seat "no I'm the one that should be sorry, I shouldn't have said the things i did"
"no, you were right.."
her eyes widen and she looked at him in disbelief " i was?"
"Rachel's out of line a lot of the time, and she was coming on to Jake right there and she needed to be put into her place. I'm actually glad it was you" He smiled at her.
"you are?"
"Yeah.." he smiled.
"Nathan, Haley.. leave the small talk to later" Ms. Manse smiled.
"sorry" Haley sat forward.
"Hey Haley.." Nathan whispered so she could hear.
"Yeah?"
"you look good in the uniform"

Haley was sitting in her 4th class of the day, History. So far she had first period with Nathan, second with no one she knew, third that Peyton girl was in there but she didn't really know her.
"TUTORGIRL!" Brooke yelled causing Haley to look up, she ran over and sat down next to Haley. "We have history together!!!"
"i'm glad.." Haley smiled weakly.
"what's wrong tutorgirl?" Brooke tilted her head to the side and looked at her sad new friend.
"i barely know anyone, and I feel like I'm getting stared at by everyone." Haley sighed.
"Don't think that, i'll kick their ass if they start stuff"
"do my eyes conceive me or am i in a class with Brooke Davis and Haley James?" Jake smiled as he went and sat down in front of Brooke.
"Jakey! You're in this class too?" he nodded "oh this is gonna rule so much Tutorgirl and Jakey!" Brooke clapped excitedly.
"calm down tigger" Haley smiled.
"tigger?" Jake asked confused.
"it's her nickname for me, I've taught her well" Brooke beamed proudly.
"ha, whatever you say Brooke" he looked to Haley "how were your other classes so far?"
"ehh, alright.. Nathan's in my English class, he apologized for snapping at me over the Rachel thing.." she tried to hide a smile "he said she deserved what i said"
"really?" Brooke asked curious.
Haley nodded "Yeah really. He said I looked good in the uniform"
"See Jake!" Brooke smirked "I think Nathan's got the hots for our Haley" Jake and Haley started to laugh "what?"
"you so want Haley with Nathan so you can be with Lucas.." Jake smirked "Awe Brooke are you blushing?"
"What?" Brooke put her hand to her cheek "i am not!"
"You totally are" Haley smiled.
"tutorgirl don't side with Jake!" Brooke glared at her "its got her us against him"
"Awe, Brooke Penelope Davis is blushing.." Jake smirked and tried to pull her hand away from her face "all cause of Lucas Scott"
"what's all because of me?" Lucas asked as he sat down in the seat next to Jake. Haley, Brooke and Jake all looked to him dumbfounded "are you guys alright?"
"uh yeah dude, we're fine.. just telling the girls about this game last year we won all cause of you" Jake lied hoping it would work.
"Oh" Lucas just nodded "cool, cool.. Haley right?"
Haley looked at him and nodded "Yeah.."
"I heard about what you said to Rachel, priceless" Lucas laughed "I hate her so much"
"then why do you let your brother date her?" Brooke asked.
"It's not my choice who he dates.. anyway Nathan can be a real idiot sometimes, like our father" you could hear in Lucas' voice he wasn't too fond of his father.
"oh, that sucks.." Haley said not sure what else to really say.
The bell rang and in walked the teacher "Welcome to history students"

the lunch room was packed, and everyone was in their respective cliques. Drama kids in the back going over shakespeare, jocks in the middle talking about what girls they scored with the night before, and nerds sitting eating and going over math. Nathan, Lucas, Rachel, Peyton and a couple other kids sat at a table in the middle of the room. While Brooke, Haley, Jake, Tim and this kid mouth sat at a table in the corner.
"Tim why are you sitting with us? Isn't Nathan your best friend?" Brooke asked as she ate her small salad.
"Yeah he is, but Rachel is really annoying today so I thought i sit with you guys.." he smiled dorkily.
"lucky us" Brooke rolled her eyes "so tutorgirl are you pumped for tomorrow?"
"whats tomorrow?"
"cheerleading tryouts of course!"
Haley looked at her confused "i'm not trying out"
"but you said last night to Rachel that you were.." Brooke pouted.
"yeah I know what i said, but i wasn't actually serious." Haley took a bite of her pizza "i'm terrible, i was just all talk yesterday"
"I bet you're not terrible, Jake tell her!"
"Haley you're probably really good" Jake smiled.
"yeah Haley try out and you can date the tim" Tim smirked.
"ew Tim" Brooke rolled her eyes.
"what a cheerleader should date a basketball player, and i think me and Haley would be hot together" Tim smirked at her.
"I think I threw up in my mouth" haley brought her hand to her mouth.
"Ha!" Jake laughed and gave her a high five. "nice one Haley"
"thank you very much" she smiled proudly, "but really Brooke I'm not trying out"
"you have to! You need to show Rachel that you are better than her skanky ass"
"Brooke, I really don't think so" Haley sighed and looked down at her food, little did she and everyone at the table know was that they were getting watched by Rachel.
Rachel tapped her fingers against the table as she glared at them, the ones she hated and Tim. Why the hell was Tim sitting with them, has was her boyfriends best friend. "Tim is such a traitor"
Nathan rolled his eyes and looked at his girlfriend "and why is he a traitor rach?"
"Cause hes sitting with them Nathan, how clueless are you" Rachel huffed and looked at Nathan's food "how could you eat that stuff it's disgusting"
"well at least i eat Rachel" Nathan smirked at his girlfriend and took a bite of his burger.
"are you trying to say something?" she sat up straight and turned towards him.
"maybe I am.."
"Well.. well" she grabbed his head and pulled him into a kiss, then whispered in his ear "I'd rather have you eat something else"
"okay gross, I heard that. That is so inappropriate alright" Lucas did the motion like he was trying to shake it off.
"whatever, you're just jealous cause what you get isn't as good as mine" Rachel licked her lips and looked at Peyton.
"um thanks Rach.." Peyton sighed and mumbled under her breath "some best friend"
"i wouldn't want anything of yours Rachel, it's probably diseased with where you've been"
"Lucas!" Nathan glared at his brother, he wasn't amused with what his brother just said about his girlfriend "apologize right now Luke"
"no, she said shit about Peyton who's her best friend!" Lucas pointed to Rachel as he yelled at his brother.
"hey I'm just stating the obvious" Rachel smirked sweetly.
"you little bitch" Lucas stood up "you deserved everything that Haley girl said to you, you are a skank! I lost my appetite sitting here" he picked up his bag and walked away in a hurry.
"Real nice Rachel" Peyton got up and followed him.
"I can't believe you let your brother speak like that to me" Rachel pouted "I thought you loved me"
"I do love you Rachel" Nathan sighed out of frustration "but hes my brother, why did you say that shit to him?"
"Cause it's true" she ran her finger down his chest "can we have a little fun" she winked.
"Rachel no.." He pushed her hand away and went back to eating his food.
"Are you turning me down?"
"at the moment yes" he nodded "we still have classes yet, lunch is over in like 5 minutes.. and I'm just not in the mood"
"How dare you!"
"how dare i?" He threw his food down on his plate and turned to her fully "what is your problem, why is everything always about you?"
"I want sex and I want it now!" she yelled causing everyone in the lunchroom to look their way.
"great Rachel, now everyones looking at us cause you have to be so loud.." he stood up and grabbed his bag "if you really want sex that bad get it from someone else cause I really can't deal with your shit anymore.. I liked it when I was free to hook up with any girls I want and now I'm stuck with a whore like you.. so really go screw someone else, cause I don't care at all!" and with that Nathan stormed out of the lunchroom leaving Rachel sitting there embarrassed and confused.
