Haley agreed to meet Alissa at the mall on Friday to pick out an outfit for
the party. Alissa was about 20 and you could tell that she knew just what
to buy to get noticed. After spending nearly a hundred dollars she seemed
to have the perfect outfit to turn Lucas's head. Alissa had also offered
to come over before the party to help Haley get ready.
Friday night Lucas was suppossed to come over to watch a movie but cancelled because he had to help Keith at the shop. So Haley was a little down and decided to call Jake. Jake and Alissa came over with Jenny and they all decided to watch a movie and talk about the party the next day. Around 11:00 Lucas was driving by Haley's and was trying to decide if he should stop by or not when he saw Jake's car out front. He just decided to head home since Haley was obvioulsy replacing him with Jake.
The next morning Haley woke up early and headed to work hoping to get Karen to let her off at 4 instead of 5 so she could take a bubble bath to relax her nerves before Alissa got there at 6:30. Alissa had become a great friend to Haley helping her get ready and Haley had convinced her to be tourted through the party with her.
After an exhausting day at the cafe she rushed home and relaxed for an hour in the bubble bath and then washed her hair and dried it before Alissa got there to help her primp.
The girls spent hours getting ready and by the time Alissa was finished Haley felt like she was some sort of princess being pampered. "Thank you so much for everything," Haley said to Alissa as she glanced at herself in the mirror. She'd never had girlfriends so it was a new experience for her to have someone help her get ready for a party. "I can hardly believe it me," she said in awe of her appearance.
"Girl you've always been a knock out but Lucas will definitely flip when he sees you tonight," Alissa said applying her own lipstick.
"He will certainly be surprised," Haley admitted. "You don't think it's too much do you?"
Haley asked as the nerves finally settled in. Most of the afternoon she'd been able to ignore the fact that she was getting all dressed up in order to tell Lucas how she felt about him but as the time drew closer for Jake and Lucas to arrive she couldn't ignore the butterflies in her stomach.
"You look amazing. Amazing is never too much," Alissa replied. "Now just take a deep breath and remember that regardless of how you look right now the fact of the matter is that Lucas has always cared about you. By looking so great you're just giving him the extra little push," she said trying to relax Haley.
"I don't know what I'd do without you and your brother," Haley said realizing how lucky she was to have a couple of terrific friends so willing to help her in this situation.
"We're glad we can help. It's not everyday you get a chance to play cupid and help love along," Alissa teased trying to lighten the mood. "I'm glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.
"I'm just nervous," Haley admitted biting her bottom lip.
"Stop that or we'll have to reapply your lipstick," Alissa commanded. "Besides there's no reason to be nervous. Things are going to be fine. You'll confess to Lucas that you love him. He'll be the typical stunned guy for a few minutes before he realizes what an idiot he's been by not seeing what was right in front of him all these years then you'll make out like crazy and live disgustingly happily ever after."
"I hope so," Haley said with a sigh.
The ring of the doorbell brings the butterflies back to Haley's stomach. "That's probably them," she said glancing at the bedroom door.
"Well I guess we better go let them in," Alissa said preparing to leave the room. "Did you want me to let them in so that you can make a grand entrance?"
Alissa headed down the stairs to let Jake and Lucas in. Haley on the other hand had knots in her stomach was she really going to be able to tell her best friend in the whole world that she was in love with him.
But before she could answer that question she heard Jake, "Haley come on we got to go." Haley just checked herself one last time in the mirror and headed down the stairs. Jake couldn't get the smirk off his face when he saw the look on Lucas's face. Lucas had been speechless the whole time Haley walked down the stairs.
Jake just chuckled, "Haley it is about damn time. Now let's party."
They all headed towards the door but Luas grabbed Haley's hand. "Hales wait a second. What made you change your mind about the party?" Jake and Alissa headed to the car to give them a minute.
"I just decided that if I wanted us to stay close I would have to get used to that part of your life too. Besides when is the last time we partied together."
Lucas just laughed, "Hales by the way you look gorgeous tonight. You will be the star of the party."
They headed to the door as Lucas took one last look at Haley. She was wearing a short jean skirt with a pink tube top, and strappy tan sandals. Alissa had put curls all over Haley's head so she had boucy curls and just enough makeup to bring out her eyes. Lucas was amazed at the angel that was standing in front of him.
The ride over went pretty well. Jake and Alissa managed to keep the conversation going enough to keep Haley's nerves at bay. Lucas had been a little quieter than usual but she didn't want to allow herself to think that it had to do with her new look.
Alissa had mouthed "He's yours," as they walked to the car because of the way Lucas reacted but Haley just didn't want to allow herself to hope that much.
"There are so many cars. The entire school must be here," Haley commented when they arrived at the party.
"I don't think Brooke limited the guest list to the school," Alissa commented noticing a couple of older guys as they walked into the house.
"This will definitely be an interesting evening," Jake said.
