Thanks to OTH.daddy'sgurl.06, nemo123489, AngelLuva, JPNeverlosetheButterflies, mistydm, a and 101naley101 for reviewing! I'm going to put in Lucas POV's as well as the Haley POV's that the whole story has been. They'll start coming in the next few chapters!

Chapter 9

We continued walking down the hallway, searching for room 425. "Well, it's a good thing class doesn't start for about 10 minutes because we're going to need all the time in the world to find your room," I said.

"Or, we could just let me skip first period," Luke suggested.

I laughed. "Yeah, like that would turn out good. They'd call mom and dad," I pointed out and he groaned. "Don't worry, all you need to do is get all the material thats going to be on the exam and then I'll help you study. It's only 2 weeks. You'll live."

"You know, I don't know why you help me all the time. I've been quite an ass lately."

I smiled at him. "Yes, you have. But you're my baby brother and I love you, even if you piss me off most of the time," I joked.

"Seriously, Hales, I wanna apologize. I've just been pretty stressed out about the move and worried about school. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Can you ever forgive me, my dear?" He asked with a fake english accent.

I laughed and attempted my own accent. "You are forgiven, darling." He laughed and then hugged me.

"Okay, now we really need to pay attention and look for this classroom," he said and I nodded.

"Where do you need to go? I can show you where its at," a voice said from behind us. We turned around to see Nathan and Brooke.

Nathan came up on the other side of me and put his arm around my shoulder. Brooke went inbetween Lucas and I and stole his schedule. "Calculus? I've never taken that. Too hard of a class if you ask me! Hotshot, do you know where its at?"

"Yeah, I have it 3rd period. I'll show you where its at, man," Nathan said and then looked at me. "And what class do I need to walk you to?"

I grinned. "Well, actually I need to go to the tutoring center. I don't have a class until 7th period," I explained and he looked completely shocked. "What? Lucas and I took all our exams at our school and apparently I passed all mine, but I need another credit in spanish cause your school has different requirements then my old school did."

He nodded. "Right. So, Luke needs calculus and you need tutoring center. Brooke, you take her to the tutoring center since you don't know where Luke's class is, okay?"

"Okay, lets go, tutor girl!" She said and looped her arm through mine. I looked back at Lucas who just waved and smiled. I repeated his action and then turned back around. I finally tuned into what Brooke was saying. "-I mean, the things I would do to that boy if we weren't in school right now!"

I cringe. "Please tell me we aren't talking about my brother right now!" I exclaimed.

She started to laugh. "I knew you weren't paying attention! But, I forgive you. So, you only have one class?"

I smiled. "Yeah, just spanish. I should've taken it this year at my old school and I would've graduated early!" I sighed. "But that's okay. You wouldn't happen to have 7th period spanish, would you?"

"No, I don't, but I know some boy who does!" she said with a chesire cat grin.

I groaned. "Please not Tim!"

"No, silly. Your boytoy, Nathan does!"

I light up at this. "Really? Awesome!"

"Yeah, but something not so awesome.. is that Rachel is in there, too."

I was still smiling. "That's not so bad. It'll be fun to piss her off all hour!" I said and we laughed.

"Okay, tutor girl, here's your sanctuary, the tutor center. Have fun! I'll see you at lunch!" she said and walked off.

I went inside and 3 people looked up at me. I smiled and waved, "Hello. I'm Haley Roe."

A girl with brown hair and hazel eyes stepped forward. "Hi, Haley. We've heard a lot about you. You're like a legend here in the tutoring center!"

I laughed. "Why's that?"

A boy with red hair and green eyes stood. "Well, you ran your entire tutoring center back at your school. I mean, yours was way bigger than ours will ever be and you ran it yourself!"

I laughed again. "I didn't run it by myself! I just gave out the tutees to the tutors. I was just like... the manager, or whatever you want to call it."

The other girl, who was blonde with blue eyes, stood up and walked over. "Either way, you're stll a legend here. I'm Melissa." I shook her hand. "This is Derek and Lisa." I shook their hands as well.

"It's nice to meet you all. Now, how can I help? What can I get started with?"

"Well, you'll be the only one in here practically all day. We've got 6 classes each and so we'll be in shifts. I have the first two hours in here, Lisa has 3rd and 4th, you have 5th and 6th and Melissa has 7th and 8th. You'll be in here for all but 7th hour, right?" he asked and I nodded. "Well, it's just like at your tutoring center. If someone comes in and they already have one of us as their tutor, then we take care of them. If they don't then they go to the next available tutor."

The two girls left, leaving me with Derek. We didn't have many people come in the first two hours. He did have kids that he tutored regularly come in, but that was about it. Lisa came in and so did more kids needing help.

It was lunch time and so I packed up my stuff and made my way out of the tutoring center. I was hoping to find a familiar face so I wouldn't get lost looking for the lunch room.

"Looking for someone?" I turned to see Peyton and Jake walking towards me. "Are you lost little girl?"

I smiled. "I'm so happy to see you guys! I need you to direct me to the lunch room. I'm starving!" I said.

"Well, lets go then!" Jake said and we walked for a little while before finding the lunch room. "We eat out in the courtyard so get your lunch and we'll go out there."

I nodded and got into the line. It was pizza day, which I was so happy for. I had stayed at Brooke's so I didn't make a lunch. I payed for my food and found Peyton and Jake. We made our way outside and I followed them to their usual table.

"How's your first day going, Haley?" Peyton asked.

I smirked. "This is the best first day, EVER!" I said and they both laughed.

Mouth, Skills, Bevin and Lucas made their way over. Lucas was the first to speak. "This is the WORST first day EVER!" he exclaimed and Peyton, Jake and I laughed.

"Aww, what's wrong, baby bro? Tough day?" I asked, putting my arm around him.

"Hales, you are gonna have your work cut out for you. Calculus is a nightmare, physics is insane, and I haven't had to suffer through french yet, but it'll probably suck, too!"

"Don't worry, Lukey, I'll help you! That's what I'm here for!" I said and everyone 'aww'ed.

"Besides, Lucas," Brooke said as she sat next to him. "I've got french the same time you do. I'll help you."

I leaned forward to Peyton who mimicked my actions. "Thats not the only french help she'll give him," I said and she burst out in laughter.

"I heard that, tutor girl, and you're totally right!" Brooke replied and I fake gagged as everyone else laughed.

Nathan sat down next to me and Tim sat across from him. "I have a feeling we missed something," Nate said and Brooke was about to speak, but I interupted.

"Please don't make her say it again!" I exclaimed and everyone laughed again.

"Isn't this cozy?" Rachel stood at the end of the table. "The people who I used to call friends are now befriending the girl who stole my boyfriend and her brother."

"Actually, Rachel, none of us ever liked you," Brooke said with a glare.

"Yeah, so why don't you just go bother someone else," Bevin put in and we all silently agreed.

"Alright I'll leave you alone. But this isn't the last you see of me, Haley." She glared at me.

I smiled. "I know! We have spanish together! I can't wait, Rach!" I said really ditzy like and she rolled her eyes, walking away.

Everyone just started laughing again. "Tutorgirl, I love you!" Brooke said.

I smiled at her. "Yeah, I know. I love me, too!" Then conversation went on as normal.

Review please!
