Ch. 3
AU.
When the bell rang, Haley walked out the door of chemistry as fast as she could. She needed to get her history books and get to class, which was on the other side of the school, in less than, now 5 minutes.
Freaking out, Haley thought as she ran to her locker, flung it open, and quickly grabbed her things. Great! Just great! I'm late on my second day of school!
Haley quickly turned towards the direction of her history class and ran as fast as her legs could take her. Then, she slammed into a brick wall. A brick wall? How the heck did she not see it? Haley, you're losing it. Confused, Haley finally looked at her surroundings. And at the guy in front of her. Guy? So no brick wall? Wow. He's all built and.
Haley quickly brought herself to. "Watch where you're going."
He-who-had-no-name gruffly said. "Uh, sorry." Haley mumbled quickly and softly shifting her eyes to the floor.
He was so tall, probably 6'1" compared to Haley's 5'2". I feel like Jack next to the beanstalk, She thought, but tried not to show her emotions when he stared at her quizzically.
Haley looked up for a second, then realized who it was. Smart Haley, you should've watched where you were going. "Uh, aren't you going to go to class?" He asked, looking at the petite brunette in front of him. "Yea."
Then it was quiet. Haley made no move to leave nor did he. Then surprising them both, the bell rang. "Shoot! Uh sorry about running into you. Bye."
And with that Haley ran off in the direction of her history class as he-who- had-no-name stared after her.
She arrived late to class and sat down hastily in a nearby seat. Why can't I ever choose where I sit? Begrudgingly, Haley shook it off and took out her books and paper.
During history, Haley couldn't concentrate. Who had she run into? She felt like she'd seen those eyes somewhere before, but she didn't know if it had been in her dreams or if it was real. Yea, probably belongs to my knight- in-shining-armor. I wish.
Breaking her out of her thoughts came a tap on her back. Groaning at the possibility that it was Katie or whatever putting a sign on her back, she ignored it. It was fine for a mere ten seconds when whoever it was tapped her again. Maybe if I ignore her, she'll pick on someone else she doesn't like and leave me the heck alone, Haley hoped and prayed. But no such luck.
The tapping came again and this time Haley spun around quickly catching the person off guard.
Realizing it was Gina, she managed a smile. "Hey. You scared me for a second. I didn't know you were in my class." Gina said smiling genuinely.
"Yea." Said Haley feeling better that it wasn't Katie. "Well, I'd like you to meet some of my friends." And without waiting for Haley to respond, Gina went on to introduce them. "That's Grace."
Pointing at a redhead who waved at her and settled back reading her book. "And that's Naomi." Pointing at a blonde in a mini skirt, who glanced at Haley and gave her a quick smile and went back to her work. "There's Gretchen." Looking at the girl, she noticed a silver ring on Gretchen's left hand on the wedding finger. "she's promised to be married, although she's only been going out with Jared for a year."
"Now, moving on. The girl over there is Sheri." Following Gina's finger, Haley saw a skinny freckled girl who looked like those goody-good types.
But Haley's opinion stopped once Sheri looked up and gave her a dimpled smile. Sheri was really pretty with sandy brunette hair. I wish I was as pretty as her. Hopefully, I'll be one day, Haley thought. "she's going out with Fare, Nathan's best friend. Well, so what do you think?"
"Well, they seem nice. Oh I forgot to thank you for saving me in English today." Answered Haley happy that she was making friends. "Oh it was nothing. Katie and her friends are really annoying. They love picking on freshmen and spreading gossip. Don't worry about them. When you have us, we'll keep you safe." Replied Gina, giving Haley a pat on the back and then turning back to her work.
And for once, Haley felt genuinely accepted.
