Chapter 7

***Luke's POV***

"Hey Hales, what's up?"  He watched as Haley studied hard at a book with a stork on it.  He scrutinized her as she looked up at him, surprised, and quickly slammed the book closed. 
 
"Hey Luke!"  She ran up to give him a hug, trying to take his attention off of what she was looking at.  "I'm just studying for parenting class."  Okay, she just made that up really fast.  She didn't even have parenting.

"What?  You don't even take classes like that.  If I remember right you said that it was pointless because you weren't going to be a mom anytime soon."  He got her; no way she could get outta this one.

"So?  I changed classes because my…cousin told me she was pregnant and I thought I would help her through it."  He didn't remember her having any older cousins, only infant cousins.

"I'll let you off the hook now, but next time, you better watch out!"  Haley breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up her book, and headed out of the school courtyard.  He walked beside her, observing her different facial expressions as she walked.  He knew she was stressed.  What for?  And where in the hell was Peyton?

"Hey, Hales, do you know where Peyton is today?  I know you probably talked to her yesterday.  Was she sick?"  Haley's face went pale, and she looked over at him. 

"She called this morning and said that she was feeling sick and to tell you she would call you later.  Sorry, I forgot."  Haley picked up the pace, keeping him speed walking to keep up with her.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you so stressed?"  He asked her, worried about what it could be, and why she hadn't told him.

"Nothing, Luke."  She looked at him with tired, sad eyes.

"Hales, I've known you for too long, I know something's wrong.  What did Nathan do this time?"  Lucas asked, getting mad for no reason.

"God, Lucas, you always think everything bad has to do with Nathan.  Just leave me alone for now.  I can't talk to you if you are always accusing my loving boyfriend of everything."  Haley finally briskly walked away, turning the corner of the hallway. 

***End Lucas POV***

***Haley POV***

God, why did I just do that? I'm pushing him away for no reason.  I just went off on my best friend for caring about me.  Why can't Peyton just tell him so that it doesn't stress me out this bad.

Haley dialed Peyton's number. 

"Hello?"  She heard Peyton's drowsy voice. 

"Are you still sleeping?"  Haley asked, accusation coming into her voice for no apparent reason.

"Yea, you got a problem with that?" She asked, jokingly. 

"Well, I just wanted to let you know that you need to tell Luke."  Haley said, just about all the patience in her            voice leaving.  She didn't know why this little incident was making her so mad, but it was.

"Okay, I already decided I was going to anyways.  Well, I guess go ahead and tell him to come over to my house after school."  Peyton shivered at the thought of telling Lucas.

"Uh-uh girl, you're on your own.  You call him and tell him yourself.  I'm not doing the work for you."  Haley said, a bit of an edge coming out in her voice.

"Okay, you can't even tell him one little thing?  Well, whatever, I can tell him myself."  And with that, Peyton hung up.

It's the hormones, Haley told herself.
