Chapter 2
Felix bounded up the three steps and pressed the doorbell twice. He inhaled deeply and tried to calm himself. The door was abruptly opened by Brooke. Felix gaped at Brooke. She looked stunning in the light blue dress.
"Wow, Brooke, you look…amazing," Felix completed. He looked down at the flowers in his hand and suddenly remembered. "Oh, yeah, I got these for you," he said, extending his arm out to her. Brooke glanced down at the daffodils.
"I like roses better," Brooke replied curtly. Felix had to smile. Brooke could feel a tiny smile creeping over her lips, but quickly grabbed the bouquet and threw them onto her couch. "We better get going then." Brooke quickly put on her slightly annoyed face and took Felix's arm as they headed to his car. From a distance, Mouth watched on his bike. He immediately started pedaling after the car.

Lucas turned the radio up louder. His eyes concentrated on the road. Anna gave Lucas a sideways glance and swiftly turned the other way as she stared out the window into the night.
"Can we talk, Luke?" Anna suddenly asked. Why did I just say that?
"Um, yeah, sure what about?" Lucas reached over and rotated the dial to the left.
Anna swallowed and hesitated for a moment. "Well, I really like you Luke, but Felix--" Anna started.
Lucas cut her off. "And I really like you, Anna. Felix can threaten me all he wants, but that's not gonna stop me from seeing you." Silence engulfed the car.
"Lucas, just be careful, okay?"
"Listen, Anna, just because Felix says that we shouldn't date doesn't mean anything. I really, really like you Anna and I don't want him or anyone else to screw that up."
Anna smiled and remarked, "Felix will never ever stop me from liking someone or dating someone. I'm glad we had this talk." Lucas grinned, but he didn't feel happy. Someone was missing in his life. Something didn't feel quite right with Anna.

"Nathan, give me the phone!" Haley screamed as she tried to snatch the phone away.
"What the hell do you want, Chris?" Nathan yelled into the receiver.
"Nathan, please give me the phone--" Haley stopped short as she saw the countenance of Nathan change. He abruptly hung up the phone.
"Why did you lie to me, Haley?" Nathan asked. Haley opened her mouth and brushed away her hair and tucked it behind her ear. She was at a lost for words. "Why did you lie to me, Haley?" Nathan repeated, more furiously.
"Nathan, just listen to me," Haley began.
"I can't believe you lied to me." Nathan looked into Haley's chestnut colored eyes. Haley sighed and looked away. "I can't believe this." Nathan said quietly and walked out of the room.
"Nathan, wait, don't go." Haley followed after him. "Can we just talk?"
Nathan suddenly stopped and turned around. "Talk? So, you wanna talk now? Okay, let's talk. Why the hell did you lie to me, Haley?" Haley averted her eyes once again. "Do you have feelings for this guy?" Nathan questioned as he waited for her answer.
Haley looked into his angry eyes finally. "How could you even ask such a question?"
"Maybe because you lied to me about who you were with while I was away? Maybe because I can't trust you anymore." Nathan retorted and he stormed out of the house. Haley stood there, not believing what had just happened.
