No One Compares-
Summary: Haley James and Nathan Scott have been best friends since they were in diapers, however they have both had more than 'just friends' feelings about each other for years. Everything was going great on their senior year until Nathan got a girlfriend; Peyton Sawyer. Major Naley/Minor Brucas.
A/N: I was thinking of writing a 'Prom Night' fanfic based loosely off the movie. You know, Haley as Donna, Nathan as Bobby, what do you think? If I get enough people who want to read it, I will begin it after No One Compares ends. Let me know!
Disclaimer- I own nothing but my brain.
Chapter 21- Grueling
Nathan walked over and opened Haley's door, picked her up from her seat in his truck and set her on the ground.
"I don't know why you need such a tall truck," Haley said looking at the truck.
"Its not tall, you're just short," Nathan said giving her a goofy smile.
"Haley!" Haley turned around to see Brooke running at her full speed.
"What is it, Brooke?" Haley asked.
"They moved the invitational to next weekend, we need a lot of work, lets go round up the squad" Brooke said pulling Haley with her towards the gym.
"She's been like that all morning since she found out," Lucas said shaking his head.
Nathan gave Lucas an apologetic look before they walked towards the gym.
--
"All right, go home, be ready for tomorrow," Whitey yelled as he left the gym.
Nathan dragged his legs over to the bleachers and reached over and got a water bottle.
"Can you believe that guy?" Lucas asked sitting next to Nathan. Nathan looked up and saw Lucas gesturing towards Damien, who seemed to be displaying his black eye.
"Skills, what is he talking about over there?" Lucas asked.
"He said something about you being jealous that Haley likes him more than you, and you couldn't handle it, so you hit him," Skills said trying not to laugh.
Nathan held back his laughter. "Are you serious?" was all Nathan could say.
"Uh-huh," Skills said laughing.
"Broody!" came Brooke's ever cheerful voice.
"Hey, whats up?" Lucas asked as he pulled her in a hug. "You're in a better mood."
"Yeah, our squad isn't totally doomed," Brooke said with a smile.
"Where's Hales?" Nathan asked looking for Haley. Then he saw her walking slowly wincing with each step.
"She's a little sore," Brooke said.
Nathan laughed before jogging over and taking her arm, making her put her weight on him.
"Whats the matter, Hales?" Nathan said stifling his laughter.
Haley gave him a glare before saying, "I used muscles I never knew I had, and I used them too much, I think."
"Broody, we have to go get some supplies for next weekend, come on," Brooke said pulling Lucas out the door.
"Bye!" was all Lucas could say.
"Yeah, we should get you to your house, so you can take a hot bath," Nathan said.
A hot bath sounded like heaven to Haley right now. Nathan stopped and motioned for Haley to jump on his back.
"Nathan," Haley said shaking her head.
"Come on," Nathan said.
Haley laughed before jumping on his back. It felt like when they were about seven again.
"At least I don't have to jump into your truck," Haley said laughing.
"Nope," Nathan said as they reached his truck, he opened the door, turned around, and dropped her in.
"You didn't have to throw me," Haley said jokingly.
"I didn't throw you, I just dropped you quickly," Nathan said in the same voice as Haley.

Damien checked his watch again as he looked out the pizza place's window.
"About time," Damien said as Rachel entered.
"I do have a life," Rachel said.
"That's great. So you said you have an idea?" Damien said.
"The invitational is this weekend, as you know, so we could stage it like Nathan is cheating on Haley," Rachel said proudly.
"It has to be plausible though," Damien said thinking through it.
"It will be, we just have to time it right," Rachel said.
Damien nodded his head as he listened to the rest of her plan.
--
"There, you are all set," Nathan said. He had drawn her a hot bath and put candles around the bathtub.
"Thank you so much," Haley said giving him a hug.
"Sure you don't need some help, you know washing or anything," Nathan said with a smirk.
Haley threw a towel at him before playfully pushing him out the door. 'He is too much sometimes,' Haley thought laughing to herself as she stepped into her bath.
--
"What do you think?" Rachel asked curiously.
"I think you're a genius," Damien said. This could be the plan to break up Nathan and Haley. Now it would only be a matter of time.
--
"Haley, did you fall asleep or something?" Nathan asked lightly tapping on the door.
Haley's parents were once again out of town seeing some exhibit on spoons or something in Minnesota, so the house was quiet for a change.
"No, it just feels so good, I don't want to move," Haley said as she slowly got out of the bathtub. She threw on a tank top and a pair of pajama pants, she opened to door to see Nathan looking at her with a questioning look.
"What?" Haley asked.
"You were in there for like a hour," Nathan said laughing.
"No, I was in there for sixty minutes," Haley said laughing.
Nathan looked at her. She had such a goofy sense of humor, but you could always count on her for a good laugh when you needed it.
"So whats for dinner?" Nathan asked.
"Um, macaroni and cheese," Haley said.
"Why do you insist on having that everyday?" Nathan asked.
"Because it is the best food ever invented," Haley said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Nathan shook his head as he followed her into the kitchen.
