Sorry this chapter took so long. I'm hoping to put the next one up soon.
When Lucas got home, he sat down on a chair in his room. I just don't get it. He thought to himself. The fight had seemed like his big chance. Nathan had been such a jerk. He thought that finally Haley would see that they were supposed to be together. Maybe we were meant to only be friends... Then he heard his cell phone ring. He considered not answering it until he looked at who it was.
"Hey Peyton." He said, remembering how he had completely blew her off a few days ago.
"Hey Luke. I just called to...ummm...." She couldn't believe she was doing this after what happened last time they saw each other. Don't ask, he's probably already with Haley. She thought to herself but before she could continue, he interrupted.
"Wait, Peyton I just want to apologize for how I acted Tuesday. I was just having a really bad day."
Aww, the hell with it. She thought. "It's ok. I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the Spring formal with me..."
Whoa, he didn't expect that one coming. It would probably help him get over Haley, but he still wasn't sure.
"...like as friends." She hesitated before she finished the sentence.
Well, I guess that wouldn't hurt. He thought. "Sure, I'll pick you up at 7?"
"Ok. Talk to you later." She said rushing to get off the phone. She felt so stupid. Had she made a mistake? Was she trying to get with a guy that was in love with someone else?

Two days later as Haley walked to school, she thought about how to approach Lucas, how to tell him that she had made a mistake. As she walked, she checked her missed calls. Ughhh...Nathan had called. He really thinks he can get me back after what he did? She thought.
When she got to school, she saw Lucas and Peyton talking. Dammit, I liked it more when they were fighting. No calm down Haley... She thought to herself. ...they're just friends.
Haley walked up to them just in time to hear Peyton say, "Ok see you at 7," as she walked away. Or maybe they aren't just friends...
"What was that about?" She asked Lucas. "We're going to the Spring formal together." He knew he should've told Haley that they were only going as friends but he wanted to see her reaction.
"Oh." Haley said as she looked down at the ground, trying to cover how upset she felt.
Lucas watched her carefully. Is that a hint of jealousy? He wondered. Haley was never too good at hiding her emotions.
After they stood in silence for a few minutes, Lucas realized he had to go to class. "See ya later." He said as he walked the same direction Peyton had.
Before Haley could walk off too, Nathan appeared as if he had been waiting for Lucas to leave.
"Hey." He said with a shyness in him she had never seen before.
"Hey." She said back after fighting off all her temptations to ignore him and walk away.
"Haley, I'm sorry. I never liked Denisse. We were just talking."
"Yea, talking and smiling as she touched your arm...hey, do you consider making out just talking too?"
"I would never do that." He said seeing that under the tough act she was putting up, he had really hurt her.
"I didn't think you would flirt a blonde slut and I was wrong."
"Please Haley, just give me another chance. Come to the Spring formal with me." He said, regretting everything he had done.
"No Nathan..." She started but then she glimpsed at Lucas and Peyton talking and smiling as they entered class and changed her mind. "...well this is your lucky day, I'm feeling really forgiving."
"Thanks Haley, I'll pick you up at 7. You won't regret it." He said as he walked away.
She shivered at his words...guess who else was being picked up at 7. The she realized what she was thinking. No, I'm not some jealous freak. Peyton and Lucas are my friends and I want them to be happy." She thought as she heard the late bell ring. And I was running early today too. She thought as she hurried off to class.
