The Other Side Of Me
Chapter 11: Nobody's Perfect
"I'm so sorry I'm late Haley, my alarm didn't go off at the right time, then when I went to go find some cereal we were out. So I had to drive to starbucks and pick up some coffee," Nathan explained as he sat across from Haley. They were at the docks, and were sitting at an old wooden picnic table.
"Nathan, your 15 minutes late, that means we only have 45 minutes to go over the first five chapters. And I can assure you that Ms. Baker will be giving us a pop quiz on this," Haley said mad that he was so late.
"I know, and like I said I'm sorry. But hey I bought you some coffee."
"Thank-you. Now lets get to work," Haley said taking the coffee from Nathan and opening her book.
"Oh please tell me there's a cheat sheet in here," Nathan said opening a box of cracker jacks.
"Nathan! You're eating?"
"I told you Hales, I didn't get breakfast," he told her pulling out a colorful yet tacky bracelet, "so not exactly what I was hoping for."
"Oh Nathan that will go great with your outfit, and I think that will bring out your eyes," Haley said once she saw the bracelet that he was holding.
"Good one James, but knowing me. If I wore this to school, everyone would have it the next day."
"You have the biggest ego, I have ever seen."
"It runs in the family. Give me your hand," he ordered.
"What? Why?" Haley asked confused as to why he would want her hand. Ignoring her question, Nathan grabbed her hand and held it out in front of him, he slipped the bracelet on to her delegate wrist and said,
"don't say I never gave you anything." The two just sat there staring at each other with Nathan still holding the girls hand, completely forgetting the books that were laid out in front of them. It was a battle between blue and brown, both trying to make the other look away but still hoping that they wouldn't. It wasn't until a car horn from a distance that broke the stares between the two teens.
"We should really get to work," Haley said as she pulled her hand back and looked down at her book.
"Yeah gosh Haley you need to control yourself. I mean I know I'm irresistible but come on," Nathan teased.
"Shut up! OK so chapter 1.." Haley started making sure she didn't fall back into his eyes again.
After about 35 minutes of trying to get Nathan to understand everything that happened in chapter 1-5, they were in Nathan's car heading for school.
"All right lets turn some music on," Nathan said as he turned the radio on
Nobody's Perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again 'til I get it right!
Nobody's Perfect!
Ya live and ya learn it
Nathan turned the radio off as soon as he realized who was singing. Haley noticing his sudden change of mood had to ask,
"what's wrong, not a fan?"
"No no, it's just I don't feel like listening to music anymore," Nathan tried to cover up.
"Oh ok," Haley said now really confused.
"It's just, look promise me you won't say anything and you won't think that I'm completely crazy."
"Nathan what's wrong?"
"I met Kelley at a party a week ago, and we connected. Not like sexually either, I really fell for her. So I asked her out on a date and she said yes for god knows what reason. We went out and I asked her to be my girlfriend, and again she said yes. So we've been together for about a week. You believe me?"
"Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know I just might have thought you would think I was crazy or something."
"I don't think your crazy, cocky and egotistical yes," Haley said earning a laugh from Nathan, "so you aren't making up the girlfriend?"
"No, I hear what people are saying. She's not imaginary."
"So why did you tell me all this?"
"I don't know, but I do know that I can trust you," Nathan said sincerely.
"Can I ask you another question?" When Nathan nodded she continued, "everyone calls me Hay or Hays. But you call me Hales, why?"
"I like the name Hays, but knowing that I have my own personal nickname for you makes what we have special doesn't it?"
"Yea it does," she answered while watching Nathan pull into an empty parking spot.
"So I'll see ya in class?"
"Yea you will," Haley responded as she met Nathan halfway in front of the car. The two were to close for both of their liking, but no one moved.
"Your gonna be at cheerleading today right?" Nathan whispered.
"Yea, my first day."
"Is it wrong for me to look forward to seeing you dance around in nothing but shorts and a tank top?"
"It probably is being on since you have a girlfriend." The moment the words escaped her mouth Nathan stepped back.
""So I'll see ya later," he said before walking away from her.

"Nathan stop!" Kelley yelled. Her and Nathan were at the beach, it was dark out so a lot of people were inside. Nathan was currently tickling her and she was trying very hard to get him to stop. She wasn't doing to well.
"Say it then."
"There's no way in hell that I'm saying that!" She called back.
"Then there's now way in hell that I'm stopping."
"Fine fine, Nathan Scott is the most sexiest man on earth, Orlando Bloom and Leonardo Dicaprio don't even compare!" Nathan finally stopped.
"Now was that so hard to say?"
"You have no idea."
"Umm, would you be ok if I went to a party on Friday after the game instead of meeting up with you?" Kelley completely forgot that she had a date with him; Mason and her had been planning all week for this party.
"Oh no, I actually had something else to go to, too."
"All right how about Saturday?"
"Night or day?"
"I was kind of hoping both, there's this carnival that starts at 3. Maybe we could go for like an hour or two, then go get some food."
"That sounds fun, but are you ready for the public? Are you ready for some of the paparazzi coming up to you, or everyone asking you about how it feels to date a singer?"
"I'm ready," Nathan stated.
"Ok, just making sure."
"I can deal with all of that if it means that I get you in the long run," he said now moving on top of her and kissing her. They kissed for about three minutes until oxygen was needed. He lay on top of her still not breaking eye contact and said,
"your eye's look so familiar."
"Really that's weird, so umm hows school?" Haley quickly asked praying that he would drop the subject.
"It's good, I had to get some tutoring today though for English."
"Was it helpful?"
"Yea it was Haley really broke it down for me. She's different than all the other girls from school," Nathan said trying to get the image of Haley in cheerleading yesterday out of his mind. He found himself staring at her more than he would have liked to.
"Well good."
"Yea it was good," he said before dipping his head down and capturing his lips with hers again.

"Nathan Scott come on down!" The host said of the hit TV show 'Which Girl To Choose.' "Now Nathan is really in a bit of a pickle, he has the choice of picking pop sensation Kelley Stevens or cute nerdy Haley James. Both beautiful, both to good for Nathan but not the point. Nathan you have a big decision to make, and were going to help you."
"Nathan what girl do you like spending time with the most?"
"Well I like my time with both of them, but Haley sure does have a knack of making me feel better when I'm not in a good mood."
"One point to Haley, the first girl to three gets Nathan. Next question, Nathan what girl do you find yourself next to you in your future?"
"Kelley is a famous singer and will probably get even more famous, so she won't be around a lot, so Haley."
"That's two points to Haley now, Kelley your not a very good girlfriend. Next question, game point for Haley here. Which girl can you relate to most?"
"Kelley is famous there's nothing that I can relate to there, but Haley and I can talk about anything and she knows how I feel. So Haley!"
"Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner Haley come down and claim your prize!" Haley stepped off of her chair and leaped into Nathan's arms and spun her around, resting his forehead on hers and looking into her big brown eyes.
"I love you Nathan Scott."
"I love you to Haley James." With that said, the two kissed each other passionately.
RIIIIIIIIIING
Nathan shot up from his dream of Haley,
"Oh shit."
Hehe! I thought the game idea of Nathan would be funny! If you're confused as to why he said 'oh shit' it's because Nathan picked Haley over his girlfriend, so that must mean that he likes Haley even more. Now I can't update tomorrow but Thursday will be Mason's party! A lot will happen! REVIEW PLEASE! If I don't get at least 8 reviews I won't update till Saturday!
