"Come out of there Haley James!" A man, holding a basketball, on the street bellowed. His sudden interruption of silence in the neighborhood seemed to put everyone in distress.

"Will you please keep it down!" An old man shouted back with evident irritation in his voice.

"Sorry sir! I would, if dear Haley James will get out of her castle and accompany me to school." the persuading guy remarked with a very peculiar British accent, obviously fooling around.

Finally, after a minute or so, Haley opened her windows-enjoying the feel of fresh air on her skin. Upon seeing ,Lucas, her best friend, Haley immediately shut the windows close with a loud bang-causing her half- annoyed neighbors to complain even more.

"What the hell is wrong with you Girl!" an old lady nearby raised her cane and pointed to the direction of Haley's room.

"Quite disturbing, isn't she?" Lucas asked trying to hide the smile creeping across his face.

Haley took a quick shower and slid into her usual jeans . She examined her self carefully at the mirror .

"Do I wear the green or the red blouse?" she asked her self.

"It doesn't matter what you wear haley , Trust me You'll look the same." Luke shouted from outside her house.

Oh God! He knows me to well ,she thought.

"Shut the hell up !" she shouted back.

"Will you keep it down!Some of us are still sleeping." the old man was obviously flaring up.

Lucas heard a loud bang from behind.

'Finally, Lucas gave a sigh of relief.

"We're almost late you know? What took you so long?" He used the ball to do a trick but it accidentally slipped from his hands.

Haley was wearing a black semi-loose shirt to hide her unwanted fats and blue-jeans,

'Whatever luke!" she exclaimed.

She is obviously not in the mood for fun.Who cares! Lucas thought .

"What's up my dearest best friend?" Lucas knew it would irritate Haley. She never wanted to be called "dearest." She found it so annoying. She'd usually punch Lucas on the shoulder until he suffers from excruciating pain but today Haley tried her best to act like a sophisticated woman even if she was itching to punch Lucas for being such a dream-wrecker.

"Am I suppose to hide or something?" confusion was written all over his face.

Haley let out a hardly noticible sigh.

She slowly approached Lucas who was already trying to back away when Haley grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulled him near her and whispered something in his ear.

"You know Luke, I asked you to be my friend not my alarm clock!"

A small grin escaped from her.

"C'mon Luke, Do you really want to be late for school?" she shot a devious look.

"Fine, Ms. James, something is going on and you don't want to tell, I'll find it soon enough so why don't you save your self from all the trouble and spill it out?" Luke sounded really suspicious. He didn't bother hiding it.

Lucas tried reading Haleys facial expression but he couldn't extract anything from her.

After a couple of minutes of simply staring incessantly at Haley, devastation took over him. "Fine Let's do it your way Ms. James." he raised an eyebrow as Haley slid in to the passenger seat.

Oh god! Does he know anything she said worriedly to herself.
