Hey guys. I am so happy about the reviews! I know it's not many ompared to other stories but I love them! So here is a chapter. I'm from the uk so I know time differences are wonky but its morning and I'll put up this chapter. And then if I have some more reviews then I'll put the next chapter up tonight.

I hope not to cause confusion. This is a chapter that explains some stuff. You see Nathan and haley are at different schools, there is a boy school and a girls school… I know it's weird but whatever. And also, there will be brucas later on, but I haven't decided whether or not it should last. Let me know?

4. Day After Today

'Ok… So tomorrow night is the formal. As usual they are combining both schools. Are we going?'

'I don't know. It's pretty stupid to have the formal on the last day of school. And we've never seen half of the guys from their high school so it's hardly going to be enjoyable.'

'AND Haley, it's the last Friday in the month, which means…'

'Which means that it's theme night at Madison's' Night club.'

'YES! And the theme this month is western!! I can't wait! We need new outfits.'

'So we aren't going to the formal then?'

'Hales, we have no one to go for… don't you remember what happened this afternoon?'

'Yeah I do…' Haley thought back to lunch.

'Hey you! Yeah skanks I'm talking to you.' Rachel shouted across the cafeteria.

Brooke and Haley turned round to face Rachel.

'What do you want Rachel.' Brooke snapped.

'I just wanted to know what is so important that you have to miss every single basketball game that has ever been played while we've been at school. It is part of the tradition that us girls from tree hill girls' school go and support the guys from tree hill boys' school. Do you not support you team?'

'Yes we do… it's just that we have better ways to spend our time.' Haley did the talking because she knew Brooke would get to crazy.

'Did you hear that girls? They have better things to do. More like they aren't allowed out past 6… No wonder, they would shame their families, look at them, they are such a mess…'

Next thing Haley saw was Rachel getting a hard slap on the face from Brooke, and then a fuming Brooke was pulling her away from the cafeteria. Everyone was staring and laughing at them as they walked away.

Brooke was right. They weren't wanted at school. They had never let anyone at school see their other sides. They were just too shy. But dressing up and going out to somewhere where no one knew them was great. They could reinvent themselves to be whoever they wanted.

'Ok Brooke, let's go shopping! It's cowgirl time!'

The next day at school everyone was excited about the formal. Brooke and Haley were excited too; only they were excited about a different event. Their outfits were fabulous.

'One more day of this dreaded school, then three months of nothing but partying, shopping and summer flings.' Haley sighed.

'Oh, and getting a sexy tan!' Brooke added.

'Yeah, we can plan all of that tomorrow.'

'Aww Hales you never break a tradition honey. First day of the summer is always spent planning.'

'Yip' Haley smiled. 'Now let's get to class.'

Nathan felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around. It was Rachel, head cheerleader, head everything. But she was from the girls' high school, so she must have sneaked off campus just to see him. Hardly anyone stood up to her. And all the guys wanted her. Not him or Lucas, they just didn't see what everyone else did. But god was she into Nathan.

'Hey gorgeous. So… it's the formal tonight, and I wanted to know if you wanted to go together. Since we'll be leaving together I thought we might as well start the night with each other if we are going to finish it.' She gave him a playful wink.

Nathan thought back to that morning.

'Dude! We have to skip the formal tonight! We need to go to Madison's' night club'

'Why Nate? I don't understand why you are so desperate to go.' Lucas sighed.

'It's one of the most popular nights of the month, so she'll definitely be there.'

'Who will be there?'

'I don't really know. Just this girl.'

'But you can meet plenty of new girls at the formal…'

' I need to see her again. Please Luke, we have to go. Look, it's western night, it'll be fun! C'mon, it's just the formal, we'll have plenty more to go to!!'

'Fine Nathan, but you owe me, I don't want to look stupid in a cowboy outfit.'

'Umm… well actually Rachel I'm not going to the formal tonight.' Nathan stared at his feet.

'What do you mean, you're not going, why wouldn't you be?'

'Oh you know, family stuff…'

'So that means Luke won't be there either…' She turned to the girl behind her. ' Bevin, you can score one and two of my list, they won't be there. And go and find Jake, he's number 3.' She turned back to Nathan and pouted at him.

'Have it you're way Nathan. But it's you're loss.' She flicked her hair and flounced off.

'It won't be if I get to see her again…' Nathan thought to himself.

Ok so enjoy, hopefully everything should be explained later if you have any questions. And review! I love it!
