Chapter 9

"So tell me what happened last night?" Brook asked and she and Haley walked around the mall.

"Well after we left your house, we went to a restaurant and we were just talking and then he told me that he really likes me and he asked me to be his girlfriend. Brook he is so sweet! I could never picture Nathan Scott being sweet and romantic and all that shit."

"You guys are so cute together, but what about your mom?"

"Well right now we are hiding it from her until she leaves which will hopefully be soon."

"Hales that sucks your mom should let you date him I mean just because his dad did sh!t to her doesn't mean that Nate will do that to you. I've known Nathan since I was little and I know that he would never do that to any chick especially you, he really likes you Hales."

"I really like him too."

After Haley got home from shopping with Brook she went home to change and then she was going to go hang out at Emily's house. Haley was about to leave her house when she ran into her mother.

"Hello Haley." she said.

"Hello mother."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm heading over to Em's house and I will probably end up staying over." Haley replied.

"Oh , you haven't..." Haley's mom started but was cut off by Haley's cell phone ringing.

"Hello?" Haley said into the phone.

"Hey Hales." the person on the other side of the phone said.

"Hey Brook." Haley said.

"What I'm not..." the person started to say.

"Uh mom I have to go I have to help Brook with something real quick bye." Haley said running out of her house and into her car. "Hey Nate sorry about calling you Brook but I was talking to my mom."

"Oh."

"Yea, so what's up?"

"Nothing just calling."

"Oh whacha doing?"

"Nothing just playing basketball with Luke, Jake and Tim."

"Cool."

"Yep well I got to go I'll talk to you later bye" Nathan said hanging up the phone.

"Dude, who was that? Tim asked as he walked up to where Nathan was standing.

"Haley."

"You guys have been dating her for how long?"

"A couple of weeks why?"

"Nothing I was just wondering because as long as I have known you, you have never dated one girl for that long."

"Yea Nate, what's up with that?" Lucas asked coming over to where they were.

"I just really like Haley that's all."

"Ok well all I have to say is you better not do anything to hurt her because her friends really don't like you."

"I wont and they already know that if I do they can kick my ass, but trust me I wont hurt Haley, I really like her."

"Whatever man lets go play some ball."
