By the time Haley reached them, she was huffing. She had seen everyone turn around and stare at Haley and then Nathan and then back again. Turning to glare at him, she was a little surprised to find him gone.
Huffing yet again, she turned towards her friends who were grinning with their bright white teeth and making her blind. "What are you guys smiling about?" inquired Haley, a little curious.
"So I take it you met Nathan Scott?" asked Naomi, glancing at her perfectly done nails, grinning a little too widely.
"Yea, so what's it to you? All of you?" taking in the fact that all of them were grinning too widely and staring at her.
Biting her cheek, Gretchen humorously answered, "You guys sounded like a married couple."
Haley, puzzled, saw the other girls trying to stifle their giggles, and Gina just laughing out loud. "Haha, you guys just crack me up." Haley stated sarcastically. "Really, I don't get what was so funny about that."
Sobering up a little, Gina looked at Haley and said, "It was just the way he looked to desperate to get your attention. Seems like Peyton's not giving him any."
As the whole group erupted in laughter, Haley suddenly remembered what she had been meaning to ask the girls all along. "Um, would you all mind if you guys helped me learn to cheer? I mean it's not that hard right? So I could get it down in like a week?" Haley asked, hopefully.
Grace, who was the group's little mother, said, "Of course we'll help you. Starting today. Right after we go to the park, then we'll go to Naomi's house and practice." The other girls nodded, affirming her plans, and Haley grinned a large grin.
Naomi led the way to her convertible, where Gina's Porsche stood right beside it. Stunned, Haley stood dumbfounded at the cars, gazing longingly at them both. Seeing Haley's stare, Naomi laughing said, "Haley you can ride my car on the way to the park and the way back, you can ride Gina's."
Nodding her head till it was almost going to fall off, Haley hopped into the backseat of the convertible and Gretchen settled herself in the front. In the other car, Gina was behind the wheel with Grace and Sheri in the back.
As they parked their cars, Sheri spotted Brooke and Peyton with their crew in the basketball courts watching Nathan, Jared, and the other guys play basketball. "Oh no. They're here and they're watching Gretch's man."
Gina gazed in their direction, and seeming unfazed replied, "We can take them on. Gretch could tear their eyes out." Nodding Sheri got out of the car and walked towards Naomi's car, preparing her "caution" speech.
After Sheri had told Gretchen to not blow up at the sight of Brooke mentally undressing her man, the whole gang had walked towards the basketball courts.
The players seeing the girls approaching stopped the game and allowed Fare, a 6 foot tall blonde in a wife beater, and Jared, a 6'1" brunette in a tank, to walk over to them. The guys gave Sheri and Gretchen a hug before moving on to hug the rest of the girls, but they stopped when they reached Haley.
A little confused, Fare stuck out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Fare, Sheri's boyfriend. So you're the new girl we heard about from Nathan, ey?" "I guess. Why do you want to know?" asked Haley, wondering what Nathan had said about her.
"Heard you gave Nathan quite a fight. First girl to ever do that, so I give you props. Took guts." Replied Jared, pointing at Nathan while talking. Jared looked at her with respect and shook Haley's hand.
"Well, guys, enough of these introductions. Introduce Haley to the rest of guys while we head over to the trees over there." Said Gina, pointing at the trees on the edge of the courts.
"No, it's okay. I'll go over there with you guys. I don't have to know those guys. I'm fine with only knowing you girls. So thanks, but I'll pass." Stammered Haley, wondering what Gina was up to and not wanting to find out.
"No, Haley, you should meet them. We don't know them as well as Jared and Fare do so we'll let them introduce you to them. Afterwards, you can come back to us." Soothed Grace, trying not to smile.
Haley, looking defeated, allowed Jared and Fare lead her towards the group of guys, all sweaty and built, waiting for Jared and Fare. Haley, seeing their height and unwavering stares, started to feel small and a piece of morsel. Haley started to turn towards where the girls had settled down and were watching her, but Jared saw her doing so, and took her wrist into his hand and pulled her towards them.
Haley, sighing, looked ahead of her towards the guys, and saw Nathan first, whose face had stuck out from the group of guys.
[i]Oh no. And why is he smirking?[/i]
Groaning a little, Haley continued her little "journey" towards the group of guys.
~~ good or bad? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! Thanks!
