Chapter 6: I Hate New Guys

Dear Diary,

So today we'll see what happens, we'll see if I can win back any trust what so ever, actually I think it's time to let the tiger out of the cage. He's been pacing too much and it's getting quite annoying. Maybe with his help I can get back into the circle, maybe just a little bit. That's all I ask, to be near him again, so then maybe my heart will stop hurting.

Haley sighed loudly as she slammed her locker shut. Her life had become so messed up in the past few days she was ready to go on a long vacation and possibly never come back.

"How is tutor girl this morning?" Brooke asked excitedly as she skipped to Haley's locker.

"Oh, you don't want to know," Haley said with a laugh as she limped along with Brooke to their English class.

"Well I don't know about you but, I could sure use a drink," Brooke said laughing as she went to sit in her desk and Haley parted ways to sit in her own desk. Which was way to close to Danielle, but Haley just ignored her and started to write some notes in her notebook.

"Well good morning class, how was your weekend? Anyone else get into a death match in pictionary?" their teacher asked laughing. The class just looked at him blankly. "Right, well I have a present for you all it seems we yet again, have another new student, and his name is Ben."

The new student had feathery black hair which hung into his eyes; he wore a tight Alkaline Trio shirt and faded jeans full of holes with some worn out black converse shoes. He sauntered to his seat, which was next to Haley; he smiled half heartedly at her

"Hey, I'm Ben," he said introducing himself to her.

"Haley," she said smiling.

"And I'm Danielle," Danielle piped in as she leaned over towards him. He just smiled at her.

The class wore on and Ben kept his eyes to the front of the room, he ignored all the snickering around him and the swooning girls, he was used to it, it happened to him at every new school he went to. He quickly scribbled down a few notes and headed out the door as soon as the bell rang.

"Wow, I wish I could sit next to such a hottie," Peyton said as she fell into step next to Haley.

"Heh, well wouldn't you know, you're in luck cuz I hear the girl who sits next to him is married," Haley joked as Nathan caught up to them.

"Looks like we got another newbie to deal with," Nathan joked as he put this arm around Haley.

"Something tells me this one I won't mind," Peyton said as she spotted Ben heading into her math class.

"Go get him tiger," Haley laughed as she shooed Peyton away.

"Plan on it," Peyton smiled as she headed into her class.

Nathan walked with Haley to the tutoring center so she could get her schedule of students.

"It's always exciting to see what new students I get to teach next," Haley joked as she grabbed a slip of paper from her mailbox.

"Hmm, but none of them are me," Nathan said with a smile as he pulled her into a corner and kissed her.

"Nathan, come on," he laughed as she reluctantly pushed him away.

"What? Can't I kiss my wife?" he asked with a playful smile as she gathered her bag together and unfolded her paper.

"Yes, but preferably not in a class room," she said as she began to read the list of the students she was to tutor.

"Anyone I know?" he asked trying to read over her shoulder.

"Yeah, one of them," she said as she folded the paper and put it into her pocket. "I guess I get to tutor Ben," she said with an odd look, and then a thought crossed her mind.

Nathan recognized her look, "What are you planning?" he asked unsure if he really wanted the answer.

"This is perfect now I can set him up with Peyton," Haley squealed as she clapped her hands, Nathan only laughed at her.

"Look at you, playing cupid, and it's only his first day" he joked and kissed the top of her head as they re-entered the hall.

"They would be so cute together," Haley sighed as they went to the quad to enjoy their off period.

"Hales, you don't even know the guy," Nathan said as he sat across from her.

"Well I know, but since I'll be tutoring him, I'll get to know him and then…… it's perfect," she gushed, lost in the moment, and the thought.

Nathan shook his head, only she would get over excited about something like this. "So how are things going with Danielle?" he asked.

Haley visibly shook when he said the name, "I thought we weren't going to talk about her," she said coldly as anger started to prickle her skin and made her aching ankle start to throb.

"Sorry, but I saw the way she was looking at you today, and I was wondering if she had tried to talk to you at all."

"How the hell was she looking at me?" Haley asked in a confused manner as she looked up from her math homework.

"I don't know, it's hard to describe," he sighed losing track of what he wanted to say.

"Hah, I'm sure it was more of a murderous look, I think that'll be her next mode of attack, kill me, and take you," Haley joked and started to laugh, Nathan only stared at her. She quieted down, "Sorry, a little too dark for you?" she asked with a lope sided smile.

"You have such an overactive imagination," he said smiling at her.

"Oh shut-up," she said smiling as she hit his shoulder. He only shook his head smiling and went back to working on his English.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Before Haley could go to the gym to watch Nathan and Lucas in practice and the cheer squad she had to meet Ben in the tutoring center to set up a schedule with him. She arrived before he did so she set her bag on a table and sat on a chair waiting for him. He walked in and smiled at her.

"So I guess you're my tutor," he said as he pulled up a chair and rested his feet on the table; Haley gave him a weird look but shrugged it off and smiled kindly.

"Yeah I am," she said, "and I need to set up a schedule with you, how do Tuesdays and Thursdays work at 4 o'clock?" she asked opening her planner.

"Works fine for me, I suppose I'll see you tomorrow in English then," he said as he kicked back from the table and pushed in his chair and walked away from Haley.

"Sure," she said quietly as she followed after him. He seemed a bit more stuck up now that she had some one on one time with him.

She made her way slowly to the gym; the sounds of sneakers squeaking on the floor greeted her. As she opened the door she was greeted with the smell of sweat and sneakers. She waved to Peyton and Brooke who were on opposite sides of the squad stretching. She walked over to Peyton.

"So you'll never guess who I'm tutoring," Haley said with a smile.

"Who is it?" Peyton asked curiously as she rose from the floor.

"Hottie Ben," Haley smiled as she jabbed Peyton in the shoulder.

"No way," Peyton said with surprise.

"Mmhmm," Haley said with a smile as a wide grin spread across Peyton's face.

"Wow how did you get so lucky?" Peyton asked as she picked up her pom-poms.

"Ugh, I miss this," Haley said sadly as she watched the girls begin to get into formation.

"Well just one more week then you can join us again," Peyton said with a smile as she sent Haley to sit on the bleachers with Lucas.

"So Hales, what's up?" Lucas asked as he moved to sit by her on the bleachers.

"Nothing, much, just feeling like a lame horse that needs to be shot," she sighed with a soft chuckle.

"Aww, come on Hales, you won't be lame for too much longer," he said pulling her into a hug.

"Thanks Luke," she said with a smile as she snuggled deeper into him and watched her husband practice. She didn't notice that someone else was there watching her.

As practice ended Nathan retrieved Haley from Lucas in the hallway. "Hey," he greeted her before he kissed her.

"Hey, how was practice?" she asked hugging him.

"Alright, I can already see that state champ trophy sitting on the self at school."

"Well I hope we get it this year," Lucas piped in as he walked with them to their car.

"Oh we'll get it because this year, you won't choke," Nathan said with a laugh as he leaned against the car.

"You had to bring that up didn't you?" Lucas asked with a slight grin.

"Oh don't worry Luke you can still beat me in mini-golfing," Haley said rubbing his shoulder apathetically.

Lucas laughed at her, "Heh, thanks Hales," he hugged her and waved good-bye as they drove away. He turned back to the lot to get into his jeep and go home. As he drove away he noticed a lone figure standing in the back of the lot staring after Nathan and Haley's car. He shrugged it off and figured it was one of the guys cooling off after practice.

Ben watched as Nathan and Haley drove away. He threw his cigarette to the ground and stomped it out.

"So see anything you like?" a voice asked seductively from behind him.

He chuckled as he turned towards the voice. "What do you think?" he asked coolly walking towards the girl.

"I think she's exactly to your liking."

"Oh she is, but I'm just not sure how to get her to really notice me," he confessed as he stopped a foot away from the girl.

"Just like all the others is how," Danielle said flashing her twin a winning smile.

"I sense something exciting brewing in that head of yours," Ben said with a smile as he patted his sister's head.

"Of course," she said with a smile as they turned and got into their car and drove home.

Dear Dairy,

So today went sort of according to plan. I was, and not much to my surprise, kicked off of the cheerleading team, but I did get to see Nathan for a few minutes. Not to mention that he sits near enough to me in English class, but what hurts the worst is the way he looks at me now. Soon enough his life and his precious little wife's life will become hell.

A/N: So this chapter kind of sucks, I have such a huge block that this took soooo long to write! So hey guys, guess what, I could sue some ideas for the next few chapters because I am stuck. I know what I want to happen in later chapters, but I'm at a lose for what should go on between then. Ideas would be much appreciated, thank you all soooo much and I love y'all!!! Review please!!!
