The Perfect Score
Secretly-A-Tease
Haley P.O.V.
The angry numbers of my radio alarm clock glared at me, mocking me as I worked my ass off, slaving away revising for the S.A.T.'s. I know it's like a week away but hey, just because I'm second doesn't mean that I don't have to work as hard as the valedictorian.
God, I hate that word.
Valedictorian.
It's the word that haunts me yet pushes me to do better. All my siblings have been valedictorians and have all went to Brown, the university of every parents dream for their child.
But instead, their youngest child, me, turns out to be the bad seed, the not valedictorian sibling. It has tormented me in ways no one can possibly imagine. Since the news was announced, my parents have been at their wits end finding some back way into Brown.
Like, hello! I'm second! I'm sure Brown, White, Yellow or whatever god forsaken colour spectrum university would accept seconds! There are only so many valedictories for god's sake. You can't expect all f them to go to Brown! I bet you they have seconds, thirds of fourths for that matter! But alas, no. They are still persistent and very much annoying. So, that is why I am up at 3 bloody a.m. studying till I literally suffer from brain cramps so that I can kick Ashley Johnson's valedictorian ass for the S.A.T.'s.
The only refuge I have is my best friend, confidant and secret crush, Lucas Scott. If only he wasn't so dense, he would be the perfect male specimen. Then, he would realize that Anna is a bitch and that I love him. God! He can be so frustrating sometimes.
I looked out the window enjoying the 3 a.m. sunrise.
Wait a minute! There is no 3 a.m. sunrise!
I glanced at the clock and it firmly glared back 3.17 a.m. Suddenly, it struck me. "Heath!!" I growled quite maliciously. That twit!!! He thinks that he can just come back anytime he wants from Brown and unplug my radio alarm clock anytime he wants too?! Well, that big brother of mine definitely has something coming! My eyes narrowed at the form of torture he could endure.
Perhaps one that involved a cotton bud, 2 bananas and a water filter?
I laughed like a maniac and tumbled of the chair then rushed to proceed with my grooming process.
After that, I rushed out the front door after a quick peck on the cheek from my parents and other protocol pleasantries. I ran the whole few blocks till my sides itch. However, my 'hard work' was paid off with the smell of pancakes from inside the house.
I went in, sat myself down as I usually do and began eating the wonderful buttery pancakes smothered in maple syrup (only 99 cents a stack at Karen's Café). Then, Karen walked off to wake Lucas up.
I paused my eating for a while and counted in my head.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1….
BOOM!!
Luke tumbled down the stairs right on count and I smiled at him with my mouth stuffed with pancakes. He rushed to the chair next to mine and I immediately saw him face fall and then glanced at my last pancake.
I saw him pick up his fork and knew what was coming next. I stopped the fork from even touching my pancake and he pouted.
Did I tell you that he has the cutest pout ever?
It took every fiber in my body to stop hugging him. So instead, I opted for smirking. However, Karen caved and took out the extra stack from behind the kitchen counter. He looked like he was going to jump at her anytime soon.
You can do that to me anytime Luke.
So, after that whole fiasco, we rode to school, Tree Hill High School, in Luke's truck that Keith gave him for his birthday.
He looks so good basking in the sun like that while his hands gripped the steering wheel.
When we arrived, we passed by Brooke who looked as immaculate as ever. As we passed by, she winked at Lucas ever so not discreetly.
Lucas's calf brushed against mine while we were walking. I wonder if he knew that he was Secretly-A-Tease for me.
Notes: So far I have 9 votes for Brooke/Lucas,6 for Nathan/Haley, 1 for Lucas/Haley, Brooke/Nathan and Jake/Brooke, 2 for Jake/Peyton and Haley/Jake, 7 for Lucas/Peyton. The storyline all depends on your votes so, keep it real and vote please!! R/R
