He was standing there smirking, acting like as if he was a god, Apollo to be exact.
Groaning, Haley thought [i]Why did I have to see HIM first? Why couldn't I have looked at the guy next to him, who is pretty cute. Why, oh why?[/i]
Really wanting to leave now, Haley hoped that Jared would let go of her wrist. Wishing with all her might, Haley looked from face to face of the guys who were standing about 4 feet in front of her.
She made sure to skip Nathan's face, and saw that they were all smirking slightly at her. Wondering what they were staring at, she inquired, "What? Is there something on my face? What's so funny?"
Nathan, who had been watching her the whole time, answered, "Nothing. It's just that you look like we're going to bite your head off. We don't bite. I promise."
During this interaction, Jared had let go of her wrist, which had allowed Haley to stand arms crossed in front of her chest, in an annoyed stance. "And why would I trust you? You're probably nothing but an irritating, airhead, who thinks of nothing but girls, girls, sex, then girls." Haley retorted, earning a glare from Nathan and laughs from the other guys.
They were having a little glaring contest, and Haley was about to win, when one of the guys with blonde hair next to Nathan piped up. "Well, we haven't been introduced, but hi, I'm Lucas Scott. Nathan and I are brothers."
"Hi, I'm Haley James. I'm new here." smiled Haley.
"Yea. We know who you are. You're the girl who bit off Peyton's and Brooke's head." Answered Lucas.
"Geez. Does news spread that quickly? All of you have nothing better to talk about?" Haley retorted, a bit bothered that everyone she had been introduced to so far had known her before her introduction.
"Don't worry about it. Some of us were all there, like Nathan, and they told us about it." Answered another guy, who stood, dripping with sweat, next to Nathan, smiling at her. "Hi, I'm Josh Rewtur."
"So I'm guessing I now have a fan base?" asked Haley, raising one perfectly tweaked eyebrow, smirked.
"You wish, princess." Answered Brooke, who had watched the whole interaction, and was annoyed that the guys weren't paying attention to her at all.
"Who was talking to you?" asked Jared, shooting her a glare.
Brushing off that comment, Brooke got up from the bench and walked over to where Haley stood.
"Who do you think you are coming over here and taking charge like you own this place? Stay away from the guys." Warned Brooke, hooking her arm with one of the guys, surprising him.
"You don't own them and it looks like they don't want you here, so I suggest that you go away." Haley suggested, seeing gratitude in Jared, Fare, Lucas, and Nathan's faces.
"Yea, go away Brooke." Nathan said sternly.
"Aw, you don't mean that do you? Of course not. You wouldn't talk that way to your girlfriend's best friend would you? Of course you wouldn't." said Brooke, smiling ever too sweetly at him.
"I believe he just did." Answered Lucas, getting smirks from the rest of the guys.
"Okay then. I see that I'm not wanted right now, but I'll come back later when princess here is gone." Brooke said, walking back to Peyton, who was rolling her eyes.
"Peyt, what are you rolling your eyes for?" asked Brooke.
"You shouldn't have done that. Leave the girl alone. She's just getting to know the guys." Answered Peyton, looking in Nathan's direction, surprised to find him staring at Haley.
The guys were laughing with Haley over something, which made Peyton feel a little jealous. They hadn't accepted her so easily. They had finally accepted her only because she had been a cheerleader. But pushing that thought aside, she listened to Brooke's banter.
"But Peyt, aren't you jealous that Nathan's looking at her?"
"He wouldn't. He loves me."
"Ok, Peyt. Could you be a little more trusting?" asked Brooke, pouting and a little disgusted.
"Whatever. Just leave her alone. It's not like she's intruding into our territory. The guys aren't ours." Said Peyton, exasperated knowing that the argument was heading no where.
"Well, Nathan's yours. Make sure she doesn't touch him. You wouldn't want to lose to loser girl over there."
Rolling her eyes, Peyton looked at Nathan who was grinning at Haley, and Haley was smiling at the attention she was receiving from the guys.
Now feeling more jealous and somewhat scared that she'd lose Nathan, she turned back towards a smiling Brooke and said, "Oh yeah. I'll keep my eye on him. He won't ever cheat on me."
"Yeah. Don't worry, that girl is no match for Peyton. You have NOTHING to worry about." Said Brooke happily, happy that she had turned Peyton's heart against Haley.
"I never said I had anything to worry about." Replied Peyton a little too quickly.
"Right." Brooke replied, shaking her head a little at her friend. Then they both turned towards Haley and the guys and watched them from afar.
