The Other Side Of Me
Chapter 12: Rockstar
"So you're sure that you kids are going to be ok?" Jimmy asked his children as they helped put his bags in the car. It was finally Friday and Haley was able to convince Jimmy to go on his vacation, and was even able to convince him to stay an extra day. It was Mason who had Haley do the extra day thing, another day to make sure the house was completely clean. Everyone in school is talking about the party; even some of the nerds were coming in hopes of getting laid. The Ravens were also playing the Warriors tonight, so if they won the party would be even better.
"Dad don't worry, we'll be fine," Mason reassured his dad hoping that would do it.
"Ok ok, just promise me that I won't get a call saying you're in jail or in the hospital. All right that's it, Mason take care of your sister, and Haley take care of your brother. Lord knows he needs all the helping he can get," Jimmy said as he kissed his kids on the foreheads and got into his black Tahoe.
"Don't worry dad!" The two called in unison as they waved goodbye. Once Jimmy was out of sight,
"this is gonna be the best weekend ever!" Mason yelled and he and Haley high-fived each other. The two walked back inside to get ready for school.

"Ok class what happened in the Neolithic Era?" Haley's history teacher asked. Haley of course had too much to think about, than to listen to stuff she already knows. There are two things Haley just can't stop thinking about, one being the game tonight. It will be her first cheerleading appearance, and she is beyond nervous for it. Maybe if she was in the back and no one was able to really see her and her mistakes her nerves would be a little less. Oh but no, she's right in the front with the two best cheerleaders on the squad. And you would think that being a pop star her nerves would be the last thing on her mind. But when she was on stage she was singing and she just let the music take her and she would just get lost in it and not care what her body did. But tonight Haley won't be singing, she'll be dancing. And to add to her nerves, she can't forget the little date she has tonight with her boyfriend, except not. Nathan and her agreed that he would drive them back to the party after the game. She was pretty excited about the party even though there really not her thing, but she'll have Bevin and Jake there with her.
RIIIIIIIIING!
"Don't forget to be working on your projects that are due in two weeks!"
"Hey Hays where were you in class today?" Jake asked walking up next to her.
"What do you mean, I was in class."
"Yeah physically but not mentally. Where was your head?"
"I was just thinking about tonight, you know the game and party."
"What are you worried about?"
"I just don't want to screw up.." Haley started but was cut off by a tall skinny blonde cheerleader.
"Hey Jake, Haley," Peyton greeted kissing Jake on the cheek.
"Hey you."
"So Haley you ready for tonight?" Peyton asked as they continued walking.
"I have all the moves down, just my nerves seem to be doing a whole bunch of flips and turns."
"Oh Haley don't worry, you'll be great! Just remember as long as you don't think about the next move and just dance, you'll rock!"
"Thanks Peyton," Haley said with a smile.
"No problem, all right I have to go to class. I will see you both later," Peyton replied as she kissed Jake on the cheek again and waved good-bye to Haley. Only a couple seconds later a voice called from a distance,
"Jagielski, I need to talk to you!" Whitey called.
"Umm, o..ok. See ya Hays," Jake replied as he ran off to meet the coach confused as to why he would want to talk to him.
"Bye."
"Hey Tutorgirl!"
"Oh hey Brooke, Lucas," she greeted the two once she had turned around.
"So you ready for your debut girlie?"
"Brooke are you sure you really want me on the squad, I mean am I really that necessary?"
"Haley you better not be backing out on me, I really need you Tutorgirl."
"No no I'm not backing out, it's just I'm a little nervous about the whole thing."
"Don't be, your amazing in practice. Just don't let your nerves get the better of you."
"Yea Haley I've seen you and your good," Lucas replied.
"Thanks."
"Broody may I ask you why you were watching Haley?"
"Oh well see my eyes just wander from time to time and..there's Nathan I'm going to go talk to him, bye!" Lucas replied quickly as he made a mad dash towards his brother.
"Yea you better run boy. Anyway am I mistaken or do you have a date with the other Scott boy tonight?"
"Yea we're just going as friends."
"Right sure you are. Well Peyton is coming back to my house after the game to get ready, you wanna join?"
"Well Nathan is driving us back."
"Damn that boy can't wait an hour to be with you, he's got it bad."
"Brooke I told you we're.."
"Just friends I know, but you still need to look good. Meet me after the game at my car, oh and if Bevin wants to come she's more than welcome. See ya Tutorgirl!" Brooke said as she made her way towards her boyfriend, not before winking at a now approaching Nathan.
"Hey!"
"Hey! Umm is it ok if I go to Brookes after instead of driving with you? She'll give me a ride there."
"Yea that be fine, just makes me suffer."
"Why?"
"Your getting ready with Brooke Davis and that means your going to look amazing," Nathan stated.
"I don't know about that."
"Well I can't wait for tonight, to see you at the party and in your cheerleading uniform," Nathan said with a smirk. Even though he's watched her a million times at practice in short shorts and a tanktop, he can't wait to see what the uniform looks like on her.
"Shut up! I gotta go," Haley smacked him on the chest, loving the way her hand immediately felt a spark.
"Catch ya later Hales," Nathan said loving the way her name just seemed to roll right off his tongue. He watched her go knowing that tonight would either bring good or bad.

"Welcome all basketball fans, Raven fans, or just listeners who have nothing else to do. Tonight is going to be one hack of a game, the Tree Hill Ravens against the Bear Creek Warriors. You can smell the rivalry," Mouth commented into his mic for what a loser," Claire Young replied walking past Mouth and some Raven cheerleaders.
"You know Claire you should be talking, cause if I don't recall you sure do have a liking for 'losers'," Brooke replied causing Claire and her squad to stop.
"What'd you just say Davis?"
"You heard me, you were the one who made out with a complete geek last year at camp. And if I remember correctly, your were 100 sober."
"Claire what is she talking about?" Another Warrior cheerleader asked.
"Nothing, let's see who'll be laughing once we win this game,"
"That'd probably be us. Buy-bye now," Brooke replied waving them off.
"Let's go girls."
"Brooke I'm not going to even ask what happened at camp last year," Peyton said coming up next to her best friend.
"Good because it's a long story. All right girls let's stretch."
About 20 minutes later, the gym was completely packed, the teams were out on the court, and the cheerleaders were on their respective sideline. Jake came up next to Bevin and Haley wearing a jersey.
"Jake hunny why are you wearing that?" Bevin asked.
"Haley this is what Whitey wanted to talk about with me. He asked me to join the team since a guy got injured in practice. He said he saw me in gym and really liked what I could do, so he asked me and I said yes. I probably won't play but still!"
"Jake that's amazing, congrats," Haley said giving him a hug.
"Jagielski, quit flirting with the cheer team and get your ass over here," Whitey yelled.
"Got to go," with a final good-bye to his friends and his girlfriend Jake joined his new team.
"That's awesome I can't believe Jake is now part of the team," Bevin said stunned.
"At least now we don't have to feel bad for not being able to hang out with him more because of cheerleading," Haley replied.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. Give it up for your Tree Hill Ravens!" The crowd went absolutely nuts as the team lined up in front of their bench, " starting at point guard Tim Smith! At center Carl Bass, your power forward Mark Johnson. And now starting at shooting guard Lucas Scott!" The crowd went nuts for every player, because they all knew that with the starting five, there was no chance for the warriors. And just when you think they couldn't get any louder, your wrong as Mouth continued with the line up, "and starting at small forward, he's was m.v.p last year, and the league's high scorer, your captain Nathan Scott!" The crowd went crazy as Nathan ran onto the court, people screamed, teammates applauded, and cheerleaders jumped and cheered. They all knew without him, the ravens wouldn't be undefeated. As the starting five came onto the court along with the Warrior player's, Nathan couldn't help but glance at Haley. Man did he love to see her cheer. He walked to center court, shook hands with his opponent and jumped for the ball.
The first half finished with the score Ravens 46 and the Warriors 40. It was now time for the cheerleaders halftime show and Haley was completely sweating.
"Now everyone give it up for the Raven Cheerleaders!" As the girls made their way onto the court, the crowd might have even been louder when Nathan came on.
"Hey Ravens everywhere
Wave your hands up in the air
That's the way we do it
Let's get to it Come on everyone!"
The girls cheered pumping up the fans. Once they had finished, Eye of the Tiger boomed over the gym as the girls started their routine
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Haley is trying to get lost in the music like Kelley and as she slowly starts getting lost she is doing better and better. The song switched,
I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other boys don't know how to act!
I think it's special what's behind your back.
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack!
(Take em' to the bridge!)
Dirty babe...
You see these shackles? Baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave!
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
Just as the last song was about to come on, the teams returned back to the court. Nathan spotted Haley right away, and could not look away.
Hey pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever
Like I've never, ever known
You're just a product of loveliness
I like the groove of your walk,
Your talk, your dress
I feel your fever
From miles around
I'll pick you up in my car
And we'll paint the town
Just kiss me baby
And tell me twice
That you're the one for me
The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)
The girls finished and the place went crazy! Haley felt so good; she can't believe that she didn't mess up.
"Great job Tutorgirl!" Brooke said.
As the squad went back to the sidelines, Haley took a glance back and saw that Nathan was staring at her. She gave a half smile as he nodded back to her. Brooke saw the whole encounter,
"Nathan couldn't keep his eyes off you."
"Whatever." And with that, the game continued and Haley's eyes kept straying to number 23 all night.

I'm in the club with my homies, tryna
get a lil V-I, keep it down on the low key,
cause you know how it feels.
I said shorty she was checkin up on me,
from the game she was spittin my ear
you'd think that she knew me.
So we decided to chill
Usher could be heard through the town, that's how loud the music was at the James house. Everyone was there, and they were all having the best time. You had to jam yourself up to people to walk anywhere, and everyone was completely drunk. The ravens had won; Nathan hit the winning shot right at the buzzer. He was mauled by his teammates and fans afterwards; he was a hero after all. Nathan stood next to Mason and Lucas at the bar now, waiting for Haley to show up.
"So a little ground rules Nate, no doing it with my sister ok?"
"Dude I have a girlfriend."
"Whatever, I just don't want my sister losing her virginity to my best friend when he's completely drunk."
"Well to make you feel better, I won't be drinking tonight."
"Nathan Scott not drinking at a party, that's crazy," Lucas replied teasingly, "man where is Brooke? She was supposed to be here by now."
"Oh dude there she is," Mason replied pointing to the door where four girls were entering. At Mason's words Nathan turned his head towards the door and his jaw went straight to the floor. Haley was wearing eclipse 'Hottie' stretch Jeans that fit her perfectly, and a cobalt Roxy 'Veronica' V-neck Henley Tank top with a wife beater underneath. The outfit was simple, casual, yet she looked absolutely amazing. Her blonde hair was down in soft wavy tresses, and locks were just wavy enough. Nathan thought she looked like a goddess, he couldn't tear his eyes away from her, which seemed to be happening a lot.
"Dude go greet your date, Lucas is already ahead of you," Mason said breaking Nathan out of his stare. Once Nathan composed himself he went to Haley,
"Hey you," he said once he reached her.
"Hi!"
"You look amazing," he whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine.
"Thanks."
"You want something to drink?"
"Sure," she replied as Nathan escorted her to the kitchen where Tim was serving the drinks.
"Nate dawg what's up?! Dude your date is freaking hot! What can I get you two to drink?"
"Umm water for me Tim," Nathan replied shocking him and his date, "what?"
"Nathan when have you ever drank water at a party?"
"Since now dim. Hales what do you want to drink?"
"Umm water is fine."
"You guys suck, but whatever," Tim said getting the two their drinks. They left him and headed towards the couch where their friends were.
"So Nathan, didn't Haley do an amazing job tonight?" Brooke asked.
"Yea she did," Nathan said looking at Haley causing her to blush a little.
"Hey guys," Bevin said coming up from behind them with Skillz.
"Hey!" They all answered back.
As the group started talking among themselves the song changed and Akon came on,
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
"Oh my god, girls come on!" Brooke yelled jumping off the couch dragging along Peyton, Haley, and Bevin.
If I could escape I would but,
First of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank & treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
The girls were dancing in the middle of the family room, loving the attention they now had. Haley didn't even care that people were staring at her; it was time to have fun, to loosen up. And that's exactly what she was doing.
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
& I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet, I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better, Tell me boy wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
[Akon
I want to get away, to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah
Jake, Skillz, Lucas, and Nathan couldn't look away from the scene in front of them. Sure every guy was staring at them and just wishing that they could take them upstairs and have sex with them, but they didn't think about that. Because they knew that tonight, they were with them, and they were the luckiest guys in the world.
You held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, let's look for some common ground
So baby, times get a little crazy
I've been gettin' a little lazy, waitin' on you to come save me
I can see that you're angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanna take you with me
Rachael looked on with disgust at the five girls dancing. But most of her disgust was focused on Haley, the girl that stole her Nathan away from her. She still couldn't believe that Nathan asked her to go with him, it had to be a sympathy thing, it just had to be. And she was going to find out what Haley James has that Rachael doesn't.
Woohoo, Yeehoo
Woohoo, Yeehoo (If I could escape)
Woohoo, yeehoo (If I could escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
Haley stopped dancing and walked over to Nathan, tugged at his shirt indicating for him to come with her, after trying to back out he finally gave in and followed Haley back to where the other girls had followed suit with their boyfriends. Nathan and Haley started to dance to the music. Moments later the two some how came closer, and Haley turned her back to him and pushed herself against him. Nathan trying really hard not to become, hard, put his hand on her hips and danced with her. The two were so engulfed in the other that they didn't hear the last part of the song.
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
& I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
& tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (sorry boy)
I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better
& tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (I wanna get away, get away)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (To our sweet escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (I wanna get away)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (Yeah)
Woohoo, Yeehoo
Woohoo, Yeehoo
Nathan and Haley just stayed together while the next song came on. It wasn't until Brooke came over and ruined the moment.
"Hey girl, I have to pee."
"Ok so what does that have to do with me?"
"Helloo! You have to pee to."
"I do?"
"Yes now come on," Brooke dragged Haley away from Nathan.
"Brooke I don't have to pee."
"I know that silly, but it was an excuse to get you away from Romeo," Brooke explained while opening the bathroom door and revealing Peyton and Bevin.
"What's going on?"
"Hays, Nathan has fallen for you. Bad," Peyton said.
"That's what you dragged me in here for?" Haley asked confused.
"We just want to make sure you ready for Nathan Scott."
"You guys he has a girlfriend!"
"That doesn't matter, he likes you a lot!" Brooke said.
"Whatever guys I'm out of here," Haley replied opening the door. She went off to go find Nathan, but when she finally did. What she saw, was like a punch in the stomach. Nathan and Rachael kissing by the bar. Haley tore her now teary eyes away and headed for Tim. She needed a drink.
NALEYNALEYNALEYNALEYNALEYNALEYNALEYNALEYNALEYNALEY
"Rachael what the hell are you dong?" Nathan asked pulling away from her.
"Nathan come on, you know you want it baby," she replied before going and trying to kiss him again, but was stopped by Nathan.
"I have a girlfriend. You can't just come up to me and kiss me out of nowhere."
"Whatever. You changed Nathan, especially after you met that Paley chick."
"Her name is Haley, and your right she did change me. For the better," Nathan walked off leaving a complete furious Rachael.
While Nathan was telling Rachael off, Haley was busy drowning her tears with alcohol.
"Damn Haley you sure can drink," Tim replied now pouring her, her sixth shot.
"Yea well keep them coming Tim," she replied slurring.
"Haley there you are…are you drinking?" Nathan asked coming up from behind her.
"Yea I am, and there isn't anything you can do to stop me."
"Here Haley let me take you upstairs."
"Why so you can take advantage of me? So you can return to the old Nathan Scott that everyone loves to hate? I can't believe I fell in love with you." Nathan stayed quite, even with the slurring; he knew exactly what she had just said. Haley shot down her last shot and headed for the stairs. After about 10 minutes of Haley tripping on the stairs, clearly drunk, she made it to her bedroom. She closed the door, and flopped down onto her bed. A couple minutes later she heard the door open only to reveal Rachael.
"Oh sorry, I didn't know anybody was in here."
"Why are you such a bitch?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Why do you like making other peoples lives so horrible?"
"Haley I'm sorry about the kiss," she replied closing the door and joining Haley on her bed, "I just really like Nathan, but he never gave me the time of day. Then you came around and he just fell for you."
"You can't just kiss my boyfriend," Haley said to drunk to even realize her mistake.
"Wait so you're the girlfriend he talks about? Who knew Nathan Scott would be Haley James boyfriend."
"Not Haley, Kelley."
"Kelley. Kelley who?"
"Kelley Stevens."
"But you just said that he was your boyfriend?"
"He is! God are you really not a blonde? I am Kelley Stevens!" Rachael just laughed at her, not believing what she was hearing.
"Sure Haley, and I'm Drew Berrymore," Rachael replied sarcastically but Haley had just passed out. Rachael didn't know what to do, so she got a blanket that was on her dresser, but as she picked it up a picture fell from underneath it. She bent down to pick it up but stopped when she saw who was in it. It was a picture of Kelley, Jake, and Bevin. She looked at Kelley, then back to a drunk Haley. I'm Kelley Stevens!, Played over in her head. Rachael dropped the blanket and started looking around Haley's room searching for more pictures. She couldn't find anything, until she went into the closet. She saw what looked like a door through all the clothes, so she stepped into the closet and opened the door. She was now standing in a room that looked like a closet, except a very big walk-in closet. Rachael couldn't believe it, all around the room were pictures of Kelley and Mason, Kelley and Bevin, and her and Kelley! It was a picture of them at her birthday party, but why would Haley have this? It was then that Rachael saw it, the brown wig that was on the chair. It was then that Rachael knew that Haley James was infact Kelley Stevens.
"NO WAY!"
If you only knew the real me
I might even be a rock star
I'm telling you that we are meant to be
Now wouldn't it be nice if you could see
That I really am a rock star
yeah eh yeah yeah i really am a rockstar
