CH21:

"You look awful" Brooke said to Haley as she sat down with her and Peyton for lunch. Haley was wearing a fit jacket with ripped jeans and her hair in a messy bun, with no makeup.

"Well, good afternoon to you too" Haley said with a fake smile. She put her backpack on the table and rested her head on it.

"What happened?" Peyton asked, looking at her. Haley lifted her head.

"I couldn't sleep all night, plus to top that I forgot to set my alarm. So when I finally did sleep, I woke up to a car honking! I looked at the time, and it was 11.30 a.m. So I didn't have time to do my make up. I came running to class" Haley said, taking out her makeup bag.

"Did Damien keep you up all night?" Brooke giggled.

"Don't even mention his name" Haley groaned in frustration, adding blush to her cheeks.

"Was the date that bad?" Peyton asked, biting into her pear.

"Bad doesn't even describe it, more like horrific and repulsive" Haley said, applying the last of her mascara. Peyton and Brooke looked at her, waiting explanation.

"Ok, when he picked me up, he didn't even open the door for me, but I let that go. Though he did complement me. So we first went to classy restaurant, it was really romantic. There were roses all over the place with candles-

"What's was the problem?" Brooke asked.

"Oh, I'm getting there. So when at this restaurant, we both order the steak, that's when the date went bad. Once the food arrived he literally attacked his food, plus all we talked about was, basketball this and basketball that" Haley said rolling her eyes.

"I hate it when guys do that. It's like you're in a date with them not the fucking team" Peyton complained.

"I know! Well, that wasn't the bad part. While he was talking, he was also chewing his food. He made me loose me appetite… You should of seen it. It was like a built in sprinkler in his mouth, chew, chew, chew. Spit, spit, spit. It was awful" Haley said rubbing her head.

"Ew! Gross" Peyton and Brooke both said disgusted.

"Yeah… After that he took me to the movies, we went to see some horror movie ; throughout the whole movie he kept trying to make a move on me. First he put his arm around me, didn't mind that. Then he kept trying to kiss me. Starting with my neck then my lips. I kept saying no, but he wouldn't stop" Haley continued.

"You should of left" Peyton suggested.

"I couldn't ditch him. So I said I had to go to the bathroom. I stayed in the bathroom basically throughout the movie. Then the last part to top the wonderful date. Once he dropped me home he parked on the sidewalk, and like before he tried to kiss me, so I said I don't kiss on first date. He just nodded, and as I was about to close the door of his car, he drove like mad, speeding away from my house. And guess what happened?" Haley asked.

"What?" they both asked.

"As he drove off, the water that was under the sidewalk splashed all over me" Haley answered. Peyton and Brooke both gasped, then began to laugh.

"It's not funny. I was covered in dirty, filthy water. I took an hour long shower, and I felt dirty still, that's why I couldn't sleep. I never want to see him again. Asshole" Haley whined, covering her face in embarrassment.

"Wow Haley, that sucks" Brooke said, trying hard not to laugh.

"Yeah, yeah" Haley said, not buying it.

"Changing the subject. I'm going to be going to my aunties house tomorrow, and be gone for the rest of the week" Brooke said excited.

"Well, have fun, we're going to miss you" Haley said.

"I'll miss you guys too. Don't worry the week will go fast. I doubt anything will happen in this boring town" Brooke said.

-----------------

After the lunch conversation, it was now 7th period. Haley didn't have one, she had stayed in school library to catch up with her work. She was currently working on her French project.

"Hey Haley" someone said. Haley looked up and smiled.

"Hey Lucas" she said closing her French book.

"So, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out this Friday?" Lucas asked. Haley raised her eyebrow.

"Lucas, you're Brookes boyfriend-

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I meant just as friends. You know, to get know one another better. Please?" Lucas asked smiling. Haley smiled in return.

"Fine" she agreed.

"Great, I'll pick you up at 7 p.m." he said, getting up from the chair.

"Bye" they said to each other. Half an hour later, Haley was done. Might as well go home, she thought. As she began to get up, she received a text message from Damien. What the hell does he want? She thought.

Hey Haley, so r u my girl now? He texted. Ha! Yeah right!

About that, I don't think so. Well see u around the halls, ciao! She replied, then smiled. She knew she could do way better that him.

As she began to walk past the hallways, she couldn't feel but miss Nathan; she really did. Damn it! She thought, remembering the other day, when she fought with Nathan over what's his face.

I should apologize, she thought. She changed direction, and began to walk toward the gym. She knew Nathan right now had basketball skills. While she kept walking, she stopped at the corner of the halls. She overheard someone talking. It was Nathan. He was outside the gym, talking on his cell. Maybe I should wait until he's done talking? She thought. She stepped closer to listen to his conversation.

"Yeah I love you too" he said leaning against the wall laughing. Haley immediately caught on who it was. It's rach-hoe, damn how I hate that girl…wait, I don't hate her, why am I dissing her? She kept listening to Nathan conversation, he kept laughing and saying nice things to her. Haley mocked him in the his laughter Hahahaha… come on lover boy, hang up I want to talk to you. As Nathan talked more, Haley was getting angrier. She never had this feeling before, she knew what it was. It was jealousy, the green- eyed monster itself. She never had it, not even with Chris. Was she jealous of Rachel?

"Ok, I'll talk to you later" he said hanging up the phone. He was about to go back to the gym, but decided to go the bathroom first. Shit, he's coming this way, Haley thought. Changing her mind about talking to him, she quickly turned around, but her cell phone fell from her pocket to the floor; making a big thud noise. Oh god, she though bending down to pick it up.

"Haley?" Nathan asked, looking at her.

"Nathan, what a surprise to see you here" Haley said, trying to play it cool; standing up straight.

"Are you here for your lil boyfriend Damien? " he asked bitterly with a hint of jealously.

"Look Nathan, about the other day-

"No, I understood exactly what happened the other day. like you said what happen between us was only business and fun, nothing more. I couldn't care less about who you're with right now" he said coldly; eyes showing no emotion, shading of dark blue.

"I'm not with Damien. I never was" she weakly said looking down.

"Like I said, I couldn't care less" he said, crossing his arms. Haley looked back up at him, she didn't want to show weakness by crying so she held back her tears. So she argued back.

"Nathan, will you stop being a prick, for one moment. The only reason I came here was to apologize about what I said, but you know what? Now I wont…It's you that owes me an apology" she said angry. He laughed.

"I…owe you and apology? You're really something you know that? First you come criticizing me about Damien and now you want me to apologize!?" he screamed. Haley stared at him in anger.

"Forget I ever came, you're not worth it" she spat out walking away.

"Real smooth Haley, just walk away. You know what? You're the one that's not worth it. I should of just told you to leave me the hell alone that day at Radio Shack!" he screamed at her.
