Hey Guys, next chapter is here.
Italics are Haley's Thoughts.
Hope you enjoy!
My jaw drops and I stand and stare, I have to rub my eyes and make sure I'm not imagining this but I'm not. My best friend Lucas is standing right before my eyes with Peyton Sawyer at a Brooke's party, but most importantly he is not helping his uncle Keith out with anything. He lied to me, for a party with these people. As my eyes begin to well up I decide to turn around and run, just keep running and I'll be fine I tell myself. As the tears fall from my eyes, I wonder why, why did he lie? Why does he not hang out with me anymore? Is he too good for me, I bet that's it or does he plain and simply not care? Has he ever cared? He was supposed to be my best friend, the one I could always go to but lately I've been there for him but that hasn't been reciprocated. It's just so frustrating, a couple of weeks ago we were great and well now look, we barely speak and now I don't even want to speak to him.
I start to pick up my pace, I don't know where I'm going but I can't stop. In my frenzy I barge into something or should I say someone.
"Oh I'm sorry I wasn't . . " I apologise.
"It's okay I wasn't paying any attention either"
As I look up to see who it was, you'd never guess. It just happened to be Lucas's brother, Nathan.
"Oh Hi Haley, so you're Lucas's friend huh?"
"Erm..no not really, I'd say more acquaintances nowadays." I replied, my eyes still all teary.
"Are you okay? You know we could talk if you want."
"Sorry but I'm going to go, bye and thanks anyway" I thanked him and ran off.
I never figured Nathan to be sweet, I always thought of him as a jerk. If I bumped into him I would have thought him to tell me to watch where I was going and be nasty, but he wasn't he was actually nice about it. Why am I thinking about him? I already have enough on my plate with one Scott brother.
When I went home I went in for a quick shower and then went to my bed, still slightly shocked by tonight's events. I still wasn't sure what I was going to do with Lucas but I would just be better off to figure it out tomorrow. I'll probably need my energy anyway.
The Next Day
As I make my way through the school gates, I decide not to wait on Luke, if he blows me off then why should I actually waist my time. I go to my locker and get my books, I plan on dodging him today. He probably won't even want to sit with me anyway, nothing new there.
I thought I made it all day until lunch: I was sitting at my regular table when he came over and sat. I continued to sit there.
"So what did you and Keith do all night Buddy" I said with a hint of annoyance.
"Oh you know Hales, the usual" he smirked.
"Luke, don't lie to me! I thought we were friends, best friends supposedly. What happened to you, the lying and partying."
"Hales what are you talking about?"
"You know the party you went to last night Luke! I saw you!" I yelled at him.
At this I was the one to get up and walk away, he yelled after me but I just kept on walking. If he could do it to me, then I sure as hell could do it to him. He wasn't my best friend anymore he is nothing to me.
I do actually hope I never speak to him again. He's turned into one of them. The people we hated and thought they were all going to be low lives, well now that's what he was, a low life. It's funny how something so small can change a person. How buying a pretty top makes a girl really happy. How being told you look good puts you in an amazing mood. How having someone who listens to you makes all your problems better. Mostly how joining a basketball group can change you so much that you forget who you were. Lucas has forgotten all his promises to me and just doesn't know how different he is.
Two days ago Lucas Scott was my best friend, yesterday he was my worst nightmare but today he is nothing, nothing at all to me.
Okay, I know a lot of dialogue but I had to just get all of Haley's feelings out about Lucas, not to him but the reader. It's also kind of short, I'll try writing longer chapters if you want that is? Again Thanks for reading.
What next with Haley?
Does Lucas actually care? Does Haley like a guy?
