Tonight was the night of the annual Christmas Party that Dan Scott threw annually. He always invited the basketball team and their families to attend. Nathan wasn't looking forward to it this time around because off all that had happened in the past year. He smiled as he hung the mistletoe above the doorway, hoping that someone would get some happiness out of the evening. He had no idea that someone would be him. A couple of hours later, he spotted Haley, quite possibly the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on. But, he couldn't tell her that, it was too complicated. Their lives were too different. Brooke was sitting on the couch watching this strange Haley chick, or tutor girl, as she so often referred to her. She saw her stealing glances at the tall, dark, and handsome Nathan. Then she thought of something that made her smile to herself. A little while later, she noticed Haley standing under the mistletoe as she leaned against a wall, and sighed to herself. Haley was getting very bored, and the only thing that kept her going at this party, was her occasional look at the very good looking Nathan Scott. Her only wish that night was that he would look at her too. If only she knew. Nathan was getting thirsty, but the only route he could take to get to the kitchen to get some punch, that he hoped was spiked, he thought to himself, was to go past Haley. He finally mustered up enough courage, and while walking past her, he paused to say hey or something non dorky like that. Brooke was standing nearby and she Ahemed! in their direction, and looked up at the mistletoe hanging above their heads. They both looked up at the same time, and their eyes met. They said in unison, "You shouldn't mess with tradition!" They both closed their eyes, and leaned in for a kiss. When their lips met, it was the most wonderful feeling either of them had ever experienced. It was full of passion and spice, and everything nice* They broke away, and both were breathing heavily. Neither could believe that their dreams had come true. Nathan had to get out of there, he didn't know what he could say after something like that. Find out what happens from here in the next chapter... *What will Lucas say when he finds out from Brooke? *What will happen between Nathan and Haley? *Who does Lucas end up with?
