Peyton shot Haley a look of pure disgust when Luke kept staring at her.
"Thanks Lucas." After another awkward silence Jake finally deciding that he
was going to have to be the adult, "So is everyone ready to order?"
The waiter took their orders and Jake started talking to Lucas about basketball. "So Luke you ready for the big game tomorrow night?" Luke didn't seem to be paying much attention to anyone. "Luke did you hear me. Luke, man are you alright."
"Oh sorrry, I just have a lot on my mind. What did you ask me again?"
"I said are you ready for the big game tomorrow."
"Well we are going to need all the help we can get to beat Northcentral. They always seem to beat us."
"Well maybe I will have to get the girls to cheer alittle louder to pump you guys up. Peyton started rubbing Lucas's arm and he smiled at her and gently kissed her forehead.
Haley tried to appear unaffected even though it was just too much for her to handle with all her unresolved feelings. Jake gently squeezed Haley's hand trying to help her keep her emotions under control. But no sooner than Haley had calmed down she looked back at Lucas and got the look of death from Peyton. Haley looked at Jake wondering if that was just her imagination. Jake just gave Haley a confused look letting her know that he had no idea what was going on. "Jake excuse me for a minute I need to use the ladies room. I will be right back." Haley started towards the bathroom when Peyton stood up, "I think I will join Haley."
Jake just put his head in his hands ready to scream. This night was going to be torture. He turned to Lucas, "So Haley looks amazing tonight don't you think?" Lucas just glared at Jake, "Haley has always been beautiful, but has never looked like that before. Listen Jake, I know that you're my friend but I am not so sure that I like you dating Hales."
"Well then I guess it is a good thing that I don't have to ask for your permission. Look Lucas I Don't know what your deal is, but first you abuse your friendship with Haley and now you are trying to act like her protector. But let me ask you something Lucas are you really this damn stupid?"
Haley exited the stall and headed to wash her hands and ran straight into Peyton. "Peyton I didn't know you were in here." Peyton just glared at her, "Haley let's get one thing straight, you may be his best friend but you will never be his girlfriend. That is one thing that you will never be to him. You aren't his type. He is a basketball player he is suppossed to be with a cheerleader or someone out of the popular crowd. Let's be realistic you aren't really part of that crowd now are you. Now I tried to be your friend, but now I just want to make sure we understand each other. You keep on trying to get Lucas and I will make sure that he never has anytime for you anymore."
Haley couldn't stand to hear anymore of Peyton's hurtful words. She felt as though someone was ripping out her heart with each cruel world that came out of Peyton's mouth. She ran to the table and grabbed her purse. Jake looked up at Haley's tear stained face and grabbed their coats and lead her away from the table. "Hales what happened." Haley just turned around and looked at Lucas, "I am alright Lucas enjoy your date with Peyton. Jake can we please just get out of here."
