"Hey isn't it strange how people always walk in at the exact wrong moment?"
Brooke said to Peyton, thinking back to the TV show she watched yesterday
night.
"What do you mean?" Peyton said, her head still hurting from her hangover.
"I mean like last night when Michelle walked in on Joey being kissed by the blonde girl. She walked in right at the wrong moment. She didn't walk in a second later when he told the blonde to get the hell away, or a second before when he told her he was in love with Michelle...she walked in at the only moment when it looked like he was cheating. Why does that always happen?"
"I don't know." Peyton replied as she tried to get her head to shrink back to normal size. "It's TV shows. They do that for the drama."
"I know but can that ever happen in real life?" Brooke said, noticing that her friend didn't look so good. "Peyton are you ok?"
"Don't think so." She said running off to the restroom. She didn't make it. The result of Peyton's Sunday night partying – green goo with a terrible smell ended up all over a tardy Lucas Scott.
"Dammit, Peyton!" He cursed before the he noticed the teacher was watching.
"Scott! You're late. Go to office and get cleaned up. I'll be waiting to give you your detention."
"Huh? What did I do?" Nathan said who was paying no attention.
"Not you. I'm talking to Lucas." The teacher replied, extremely impatient with his class this morning. None of them paid any attention. They didn't want to learn, why should he teach? Worst of all, his only good student in 1st period English, Haley, wasn't there today.
"It's always about Lucas." Nathan whispered to himself.
---
Haley sat on a bench outside of school. She hesitated to go to English. Everyone was there. It would be so awkward. Nathan sat right behind her in that class and she had no idea what she would say to him. As she sat there looking around the empty campus, she saw Lucas walk by. Hey there he is... She thought. ...but why does he smell so bad?
Lucas also saw Haley, but he figured he should stay away. Peyton's barf probably wasn't a turn on.
As Haley sat there no reason at all to be out of class, the principal walked toward her. At first she panicked but then she realized she was Haley James, well known book nerd and goody two shoe. Despite some of her recent absences and behavior, no one would ever think she would ditch class.
"Hello Haley." The principal said as he walked by without a second look of suspicion.
Realizing that English was the last class she would ever get in trouble in, she reluctantly walked off to class. Behind her she felt two hands on her shoulders and a stench that almost scared her to death.
"Hey there." Lucas said.
"Hey." Haley said holding her nose. "What happened?"
"Ohh, sorry..." He said looking at how repulsed she was. "Peyton threw up on me."
"Dang and I missed it." She said smiling but unwilling to let go of her nose for any amount of money.
"Hey, that's messed up" was the last thing he said before they walked into class.
"Hello Haley. Thank you for joining us." The teacher said glad that she came. "And as for you Mr. Scott, I have a little gift for you."
"Huh? A gift? Why?" Nathan said lifting his head and wishing he hadn't after seeing Haley sit down in front of him.
"Again not you, Nathan." The teacher said annoyed but happy to give out a detention as he handed the blue paper to Lucas.
Hey, wasn't Haley later than me? Lucas thought to himself as he took a seat.
Looking around to see each other, Haley, Lucas, Peyton, and Nathan didn't' say a word. Even Brooke realized the weirdness of the situation and didn't speak.
Meanwhile, the teacher sat at his desk in peace. That little angel, Haley. They all have decided to follow her example. He thought as the class sat in complete silence.
Finally the bell rang and they hurried off to their next class in relief.
"Hey Hales," Lucas said as they left the room. "I'll meet you after school, ok?"
"Ok." She said quickly not that any of her other teachers would punish her for being late either.
---
As the day flew by, Lucas took a shower during p.e. and spent the rest of it thinking of Haley. By last period all he could was stare at the clock. He couldn't wait to get out of there and go see Haley. Eventually the bell rang and he was free. Or at least that's what he thought until...
"Lucas come here." The teacher asked him.
"What?" Lucas replied.
"One of the other students is having trouble with this chapter, I want you to tutor them."
Can't you get someone else to do it?"
"They specifically asked for you. They said they admired how well you did and wanted to learn from the best."
Hmm....the best.....well what am I supposed to say to that? Lucas thought.
"Alright, who's the student?"
"Lucky me." A blonde girl said as she walked up to him. Oh crap! All the sirens in his brain went off at once. Haley's worst enemy!
"I want you to help Denisse out for a few weeks." The teacher said as Lucas stared in shock.
"Umm...I don't think that's possible. I'm very busy these days."
"You just said you would do it. Look Luke..." Only Haley calls me Luke he thought insulted she would dare use that nickname. "...I know we have our differences but I think we should put them behind us for the sake of math."
"That's the right attitude Denisse." The teacher said buying all her bs.
She plays him like a fiddle. Lucas thought as he unwillingly gave in. "Fine. I'll do it."
"I'll leave you two to get to work." The teacher said as he walked out of the classroom.
"Well Lucas, it looks like we're going to be spending a lot of time together." Denisse said with a smirk.
"No we're not. I've got to go meet Haley. I seriously doubt you really need any help with this. You cheat every test anyway." Lucas remarked as he left the room.
"Lucas wait! I want to come clean."
"What?" He stopped and stared at the evil that was stopping him from seeing his Haley. Well at least she didn't call me Luke again. He thought.
"I'm tired of cheating. I tried to study for the last test but I failed anyway. My parents are going to kill me if I fail another. You've got to help me."
Wait, all I've to do is let you fail and you're gone? He joked in his head but to his surprise she looked sincere.
---
Meanwhile Haley walked through the halls in search of Lucas. She headed to his geometry, his last class.
Nathan also walked through the halls, looking for Haley. He tried to think of something sweet he could do to show her he's changed. Maybe it's a lost cause. He thought before he caught sight of the back of Haley's head. He sped up to try to catch up with her.
---
"Alright, fine." I'll help you starting tomorrow, happy?" Lucas said deciding that she might be serious.
"Not yet." Denisse said as she looked past Lucas to see Haley walking towards them. She smiled and knew this was her chance. With a deep breath, she kissed Lucas right in front of Haley.
Haley saw it and burst into tears. Her perfect image of Lucas was destroyed. When it had happened with Nathan she was mad, now she felt like dying. Haley took off running the other direction. She had to go somewhere ...anywhere but here.
... that somewhere was into her ex-boyfriend's arms.
"Haley, what's wrong?"
She tried to answer, but no words came out.
---
"What the hell? Get off me!" Lucas said close to yelling at the blonde. "I said I'd tutor you in math not this. I'm going out with Haley."
"Oh sorry." Denisse said trying to act innocent but she couldn't help smiling at the face Haley made when she saw her kissing Lucas. "Right, so tomorrow. Tutoring only."
"Yea." He said disgusted and confused by what had just happened.
"Haley, talk to me." Nathan as she cried in his arms.
Finally she was able to speak. "I need to get out of here." She told him. Nathan put his arm around her and they started walking to the parking lot.
---
Lucas continued to look for Haley. Where is that girl? She knows my last class is geometry. He as he caught sight of her...walking away with Nathan. He couldn't believe his eyes. "What? She can't make up her mind?" He said to himself as he walked the other way.
---
Denisse watched the whole thing and laughed with joy. "Nice work." She said to herself.
So what do you think? Please review!!!
