Thanks a bunch for the reviews. Enjoy Part II!
You may ask why is it that I couldn't simply go and talk to her. Is it because I was not that experience in the female department? Or is it because I was too cool to talk to her since she was beneath me when it comes to social status? The truth is it was neither. Popularity was never really an issue for me. Granted I was popular, some might have even referred to me as the King of Tree Hill High. Either way, I never bought that BS. Girls would throw themselves at me all the time but I never payed much attention. I had eyes for only one girl--Haley. The reason why I never approached her was because I always thought I wasn't good enough for her. Sometimes I still do.
She was the kind of girl who would do what was best for everyone, even if it wasn't best for herself. I remember she would spend hours and hours tutoring her peers and not once complain about how tired or how stressful her life was. She always had smile plastered on her face. And what a beautiful smile it was! When she smiled, it was like time had stopped. Her whole face would glow and her gorgeous chocolate brown eyes would twinkle like shining stars. It was also a smile that could fool just about anyone. Anyone except me that is. Haley and I have always shared some sort of a bond. I could always sense when she was nearby and I could always tell if there was something wrong. I knew that behind that joyous exterior was a real person. A person with real emotions, happiness, sadness, anger. I knew that somewhere behind that jolly exterior was a sad and lonely girl who was desperately trying to come out. And I knew that someday, somehow, I was going to be the one who was going to make her show thats side of herself to the world. If only I had known just how soon that day would arrive...
