Just as quickly as night came, it was over. Haley felt herself being tapped on the shoulder. She rolled over on her stomach and squinted slightly, quickly groaning and rolling onto her side when she saw who the person was. She brought the covers over her head in hopes that the person would dissapear.
"Haley, it's time to wake up." Rose said softly, trying to wake the already woken up Haley.
"Go away." She mumbled from under the covers, burrying herself deeper into her bed.
"Sweetie, you have to get up. You have school in an hour." She got up from her spot on the bed and went over to the window, ripping the blinds open.
The sun trickled into the room and immediately Haley was irritated. She hated the sun in the morning. Especially today, when she knew everything was basically going to suck.
Throwing the covers off from herself, Haley sat up and shot her mother an icy glare. "I could have gotten myself up."
"Somehow I doubt that. You probably still would have been asleep." Rose sat back down on the bed and Haley got up. She didn't want to be anywhere near the woman right now. "Haley, stop being like this. You know it isn't my fault."
"I know it's not your fault, but you just sprung this on me. Whatever happened to financial aid?" She asked, rummaging through her drawers to find her uniform.
"It would have never worked. Besides, this new school won't be so bad. You'll be with Lucas."
Haley stopped what she was doing and stared at her mother. "You're sending me to Tree Hill High? There's like two other public schools in this town and you send me there?"
Rose's brow furrowed. "Well we figured since Lucas went there that you'd want to be with him.."
"No mom, okay? I don't. I hate that school, I hate the people in that school, and to be quite honest, Lucas isn't exactly on my favorite person's list right now."
Haley was still quite mad about what happened the other night at the party. It wasn't like her best friend to get drunk, and it certainly wasn't like him to leave her there alone. She could have gotten raped for God's sake.
But the truth was, Haley's mother always had a thing for her and Lucas being together. Ever since they were little, Rose and Karen were always trying to get their children to be more than just friends. However, Haley would never roll with it. There was a point in time where Lucas was more than willing but that quickly vanished once Haley threatened to castrate him.
Now, they were more than content with being best friends. Haley just wasn't in the mood to tell her mother what had happened...she would have gotten in trouble anyway. She wasn't supposed to be getting drunk at parties on the weekend. It was so out of character for her.
Rose looked at her daughter, who was standing in front of the window in her pink bunny pajamas and her blue and green plaid uniform skirt dangling from her right hand. "I already enrolled you." She said cautiously, waiting for a fight to break out.
Haley shook her head and walked into the bathroom. "Un-freaking believable!" She mumbled to herself, grabbing for her tooth brush and a tube of toothpaste. "When do I start?" She screamed to her mother, who was busily running around her room looking to see if she needed any more clothes for her new school.
"Two days!" Rose screamed back, leaving the room.
"Great." Haley said sarcastically as she started a shower. She stepped in to the scolding hot water, wincing a bit at the temperature, but quickly got used to it. She felt like all her troubles needed to be burned away. Too bad a shower wasn't exactly going to work this time.
"You're WHAT?" Maddie, one of Haley's good friends shrieked, slamming her locker shut and turning to Haley, who was still putting a few of her books away. "You have got to be kidding me."
"Do I look like I'm kidding you?" Haley slammed her locker shut as well and slung her schoolbag over her shoulder. Maddie followed next to her as they walked down the hall. "I swear I feel like I'm in the damn twilight zone."
"Haley, you and I have been going to school together since we were like..five. How the hell can you leave me?!?"
Haley looked over to her friend and rolled her eyes. "You act like I'm abandoning my chiild or something." They turned the corner and walked into class. "Plus, I don't have a choice. My parents already enrolled me at Tree Hill."
"Well that's just great. Thanks for the warning." Maddie sat down in her seat and Haley sat next to her. The teacher began to take role and start the lesson for the day. "At least you'll be with Lucas."
"Why does everybody keep telling me that!" She screamed, causing the whole class to turn around and look at her.
"Ms. James, Ms. Harper, is there a problem here?" The teacher narrowed her eyes as the two girls looked down at their desks, embarassed by Haley's sudden outburst.
"No problem." Haley grumbled, turning back to Maddie once the teacher resumed the lesson.
"What was that about?!" Maddie hissed, opening her book to the destinated page number.
"I'm just mad at Lucas right now, that's all."
"Well at least you two get to make up." Maddie wagged her eyebrows and Haley smacked her on the arm. "Ow! What, I was just saying!"
"That is so gross! You know Lucas and I aren't like that."
"Yeah but I don't know why you aren't. The boy is fine. And I'm telling you if that was me, I'd be all over that meat like a pack of hungry wolves."
Haley gave her a cocky look. "Well it's good you're not me then." Maddie scoffed and turned the page to her book, acting like she was paying attention. "Anyway, back to the whole point of this conversation. I'll still see you every day...just not in school."
"Wait, I don't get it. Why are you so cool about this? I thought you were like, devastated."
Haley shrugged her shoulders, sticking her pen in her mouth, a dirty habit she always had. "I was. I still am, I guess. But I'm going whether I like it or not."
Maddie nodded her head just as they heard a voice come from in front of them. "Do you think you two drama queens could keep it down? Some of us are actually interested in the colony morphology of various bacterias, ya know."
"Funny, Trevor, real funny." Maddie bit back sarcastically as Trevor turned around fully in his seat.
"It wasn't meant to be funny, dumbass." He smirked and looked over at Haley. "I can't believe you're leaving me."
"Yes, you and only you, you sexy, wonderful, sultry stud, you!" Haley said overdramatized, giggling slightly.
Maddie rolled her eyes. "Who the hell said anything about him being a stud?"
"Just because you don't like me, Harper, does not mean that I can't talk to my friend. Pull the stick out of your ass before it gets lodged up there further and comes out your mouth." Trevor bit back, but yelped immediately after he felt Maddie's foot ram into his ankle. "You are so going to pay for that."
"That's what your mother said on the street corner last night!" Maddie laughed at her own retort.
Haley shook her head and giggled, well aware that the two fighting were once madly in love with eachother. Too bad puppy love always had to come to an end. Maddie and Trevor had dated most of their Freshman year, but broke up in the summer due to "mutual misunderstandings". Whatever that meant.
"You two better knock it off before psycho up there gets spaztic and throws us out." Haley motioned to the teacher standing in the front of the room.
Trevor looked to the front of the room and then back to the two girls. "Bowers is harmless. She's all talk."
"That's not what you were saying last week when she sent you to detention." Maddie smirked.
"Whatever." Trevor looked away from Maddie and back to Haley. "So, when are you leaving us to go to the fiery pits of Hell, aka Tree Hill High? Home of the all mighty Ravens!" He waved his hands in the air sarcastically.
"My last day is tomorrow. So by Wednesday, I'll be roasting in the fiery pits." She laughed a bit, liking how Trevor was making her feel a little better, but she was still saddened that she had to leave her friends.
"Well, I'll come visit you every day." Maddie said sadly.
Trevor shook his head and smiled. "As will I."
"Not on my time." Maddie spat.
"Well then I'll make sure to find some way to get rid of you beforehand." Trevor smirked in satisfaction as he turned back around in his seat.
"Asshole."
"Whore." He whispered, without turning back around. He looked over his shoulder to Haley. "She wants me." He said, motioning over to Maddie, who was fuming.
"I already had you, thank you very much. Let me tell you, it was nothing to brag about."
Haley laughed. "Yeah that's why when you guys first had sex you were on the phone with me for like five hours because it was "so incredibly hot." She said, mocking what Maddie had told her.
"Haley! That was supposed to be a secret!" She narrowed her eyes as Trevor turned around.
"So incredibly hot, huh?" He joked.
"For the first five minutes." She saw the cocky grin on Trevor's face dissapear and she smiled with satisfaction. "I guess that's what being impotent will do to ya, huh Trev?"
Haley put her hand over her mouth to try and stop herself from falling on the ground with laughter. "That's more than I needed to know, thanks."
"Gladly." Maddie said triumphantly.
Trevor rolled his eyes and turned back around, jotting down a few notes, and the two girls did the same. Class was over before they knew it.
