Chapter 17

Friday

Lucas tried to avoid Haley for the rest of the day. Whenever he saw her he would turn and go the other direction. When it was finally time to go to last period, he had no choice, but to see her. Lucas went into the classroom and sat in his normal seat next to Haley's.

Haley had been trying to talk to Lucas all day, but every time she saw him, he was heading in the other direction.

Haley P.O.V.: Finally I will be able to talk to him and tell him what really happened. He can't just want to end our relationship with out us even talking about what happened.

As Haley walked into the classroom she saw Lucas sitting in his normal seat, which made Haley extremely happy because she could now talk to him. But, then she realized that Lucas was not alone. Some blond cheerleader was standing in front of his desk and shamelessly flirting with him and Lucas with her..

Haley P.O.V. Continued: I can't believe this he isn't even going to wait a couple days before he starts flirting with some stupid cheerleader. Who does she think she is trying to get a date with him, we haven't even been broken up for a day. I can't really blame her though it's not as if Lucas and I are still dating, but at least normally Lucas would have the decency to wait before he dives back into the dating pool.

Instead of taking her normal seat next to Lucas, Haley went to a seat next to the window a couple rows behind Lucas and looked out it not even looking at Lucas and his cheerleader.

Lucas P.O.V.: Man I only started flirting with Valerie (the cheerleader) to make Haley jealous. I thought it would make me feel better, but now it has just made me feel worse than before. I can tell Haley is really upset, I mean she didn't even sit next to me and anytime before we have ever had a fight she would never sat in a different seat. I know I was being cruel when I started talking to Valerie knowing that Haley would walk in at any minute, but I never thought that she would get that upset. I really need to talk to her maybe I can get her to come over here if only Valerie would leave.

Lucas told Valerie that he needed to finish something off before class started, but maybe they could talk later. She said ok and wrote her number down on a piece of paper and handed to him. Lucas just took the paper and stuck it in his pocket to throw away later. When he turned around he knew that Haley had seen Valerie give him her number because she had shed a single tear and it was falling down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away and looked out the window. Lucas P.O.V. Man I really am an ass sometimes. I can't believe I did that to her. I need to talk to her and sort things out and maybe we can go back to being friends. Why does she look so different today? Wait I know she is wearing more makeup but why? I guess I'll ask her later.

Throughout the rest of class Lucas tried to get Haley's attention, but she would never look in his direction. Finally class ended and Lucas was just about to go over and talk to Haley when Nathan walked over to her. Haley looked up at him and smiled. Seeing her smile at Nathan only made Lucas mad.

Lucas P.O.V.: I can't believe she just smiled at him. How could she just a second ago she was trying because of what I did and now she seems so happy only because Nathan showed up.

Lucas finished getting his things together and walked out of the classroom only to run into Brooke.

Back inside the Classroom

N: Haley are you okay. You seemed distracted.

H: Why would you say that of course I am fine.

N: Haley this is your favorite class you never don't pay attention and today you didn't pay attention. Our teacher gave us two pages of notes and you didn't take a single one.

Haley looked down at her desk and saw that her pen was still capped and there wasn't a single mark on her notebook.

H: I guess I have been distracted. I just need to be alone for awhile and sort through everything. Thanks for your concern though. I'm sure I'll be back to normal by Monday.

N: If you say so. Take care of yourself and if you need anything at all call me.

H: Ok I will thank you for everything.

Nathan walked away from Haley and let her get the rest of her things together. As Haley walked out of class she saw Lucas, but this time instead of the blond cheerleader it was Brooke.

L: OMG! Brooke what happened to you.

B: Oh just some unfinished business with some girl. If you think I look bad you should see the other girl.

L: Well I am sorry about the other day. I didn't want to be so mean, but I just want to be friends and nothing more.

B: That's fine. I think we are better as friends. There is less drama.

Brooke had known the exact minute that Haley walked out of their class, she had seen the emotions cross his face when she stepped into the hall and she had counted on being able to tell. Brooke slowly slid her hands behind her back and help of a sheet of paper for Haley to see that said "I WIN". Just as she had known when Haley arrived she knew that Haley had seen the sign because of Lucas' change.

Haley P.O.V. That Bitch! Well what else do I expect she is Brooke, but Lucas! I thought he would have noticed that i was wearing more make-up since i wear next to none all the time and ask what is wrong, but no. He doesn't ask me what is wrong, he asks Brooke. He is all concerned for Brooke and doesn't give another thought to poor little old Haley. Well she can have him for all I care. They deserve each other.

Lucas P.O.V.: I can't figure out what is going on with Haley. First she is hurt with what he did in class. Then she is all happy when Nathan shows up and now I don't know what she is. She walks out of the classroom and I see her staring at us. I could tell she was hurt because of her eye had turned dark like they always do when someone hurts her. Then the next thing I know she is angry as hell her eyes go even darker and get this glint to them. A definite sign that someone has pissed her off. I don't know what to do anymore.

Suddenly Lucas is snapped back to reality when Brooke puts a hand on his shoulder and sees Haley walk away.

L: Sorry Brooke what were you saying.

B: I said do you want to hang out this weekend.

L: Yeah sure just tell me what time.

B: Ok well I gotta run and start practice. I will see you this weekend.

As Brooke walks away Lucas sees Haley at her locker and he can tell that she is angry. She is throwing her books into her locker, which she never does and has this look on her face that says, "Mess with me and I will hurt you. BAD!" Just then Peyton and Nathan come walking up because they are really worried. They saw Haley stalk over to her locker and can tell that something is wrong; by the way she is acting.

P: Wow Haley chill out for a sec. What has gotten you into this huff.

H: I'LL TELL YOU WHO THAT STUPID HOE BROOKE AND THAT ASS LUCAS.

N: Haley calm down and tell us what happened.

Haley took a deep breath and told Peyton and Nathan everything that happened starting with Valerie and ending with the sign.

P: Wow I always knew that Brooke was mean, but i never thought she would stoop so low. Don't worry Haley everything will straighten out. I Promise if you and Lucas are meant to be together and we all know that you are. Things will work out in the end.

H: Thank you guys so much. I don't know what I would have done without you with me.

All of a sudden she burst into tears. Her anger was slowly fading away and leaving pain in is path.

H: I'm sorry I have to go. Everything may work out in the end but right now I am not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry again.

As Haley walked away from Peyton and Nathan, Lucas started walking towards them ready for a fight. He had seen Haley go from being pissed to crying and see this only made him madder than he already was.
