Chapter 5

"Hey Luke can I get a ride, to my house?" Haley said walking towards his car.

"Sure, just let me get the keys, and I'll be right back," Lucas replied jogging back towards the school.

Haley just stood by his car, waiting. Then she had a feeling that some one was watching her, she turned to see if anybody was watching her and she saw Nathan, but she didn't want him to notice that she was looking at him so she turned back towards the car.

"Back. Get in," Lucas said opening the door for her.

"Hey thanks for the ride," Haley said getting out of the car.

"See ya later at the party," Lucas yelled through the window as he was backing out of their driveway.

AT THE PARTY

The party was held in a big place that looked like a palace. The decorations were so pretty. They had stairs that you had to go down to reach the party. They had a lot of stairs leading down to floor where ever body had danced. The party was already starting, and everybody was there except for Haley, she was late and everybody was worried.

"Nathan have you seen Haley?" Elizabeth asked

"No I saw here earlier with Lucas," Nathan replied

"Okay I'll go ask him if he knows where she is," Elizabeth said making her way towards Lucas. Nobody startedreally having fun until Haley had arrived.

"OMG I am so late, I can't believe it took me that long to get ready," Haley said getting into the limo her parents bought.

"Hey Lucas, do you know where Haley is?" Elizabeth asked

Lucas turned over towards the stairs and pointed to Haley coming down. Nathan saw Haley coming down the steps in her gown, it was blue and tight fitted and had some extra layers at the bottom with ruffles not too much to make her seem like royalty, but enough to make her seem like she was still gorgeous and young. Nathan couldn't believe how pretty she was. Nathan walked over to the staircase so he could ask that he could be the one to escort her around.

"Hey Haley you look, (pause), um, outstandingly sexy," Nathan said propping up his famous smirk.

"Thank you, you look good yourself," Haley said blushing as she linked arms with Nathan. The both of them walked over to the table where the both of them are suppose to sit.

Later on that night the party was almost over. They had done everything that was needed; the last thing was the last dance. The tradition for the James' Family was that on your sixteenth birthday you have to dance with a sibling, but Haley had no siblings.

"Now it is time for the last dance, can everybody please get off the dance floor," Elizabeth said into the microphone.

"Now usually in our family for their 16th birthday you have to dance with a sibling, and since Haley or Nathan don't have any siblings, Deb and I have decided that the two birthday celebrants should dance with eachother whether they like it or not," Elizabeth said.

Nathan came over to Haley, and gave out his hand and asked, "Would you like to dance, because I saved the last one for you."

"Sure," Haley said grabbing his hand. They moved out to the dance floor where it was only the two of them, both were really shy, embarrassed, and blushing. They both slow danced to every time by Britney Spears. Everybody started getting on the dance floor after the first couple minutes. Once the floor was packed Nathan brought Haley outside to the garden where they could talk.

"Haley, how come we didn't get along when we were younger or before?" Nathan said holding her hand as they were walking.

"I don't know, maybe its because we just thought of the fact of being friends with a girl or a boy was disgusting or something," Haley answered taking a quick glance at him.

"Well how about when we were in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade, we ignored eachother, the only time we would talk is if our parents made us, and now we are so open and different," Nathan implied/

(Pause) Well nathan honestly I don't know either. But now it is just different. Becuase when I am around you I feel something, just this weird tingling feeling in my stomach, and when I'm with Lucas I feel nothing really because he's just my friend, and to me your more than that, I don't know if you feel it, but I definitely do," Haley stopped as she turned to him looking towards his soft sexy blue eyes to see what his reaction would be at what she said.

"I guess, when I'm around that same thing happens to me, and every time I see you around other guys it just makes me mad like I'm jealous or something, I know what your feeling too, and I couldn't stop thinking that maybe we belong together; I was also wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow maybe we can go somewhere you know hang out and get to know eachother better?" Nathan said looking down on her unsure of what she would answer.

"smooth way of talking Nate, for a second there we were in a good conversation and they you just turn it all upside down. It this how you get all your girls? Oh never mind you don't have to answer that question. Anyways yeah sure, I don't think I'm doing anything tomorrow, I am probably going to show off all the cool things I got for my birthday," Haley replied as she giggled.

"Yeah I think we should head back inside the party is probably over by now," Nathan said.

"Yeah I guess we should," Haley said as they started heading back. As they got to the door of the party Nathan took Haley's hand turning her around facing him. All Haley could do was look up into his beautiful calming eyes; that looked so much like the ocean. They became closer and closer, until their lips caught one another. They stood they in complete bliss sharing that one special kiss.
