Part Two: Slowly Walking Down The Street
Nathan has never asked Haley out on a date.
He prepares for this a few days ahead. He practices in his head. He runs the idea by his friends, who are all for it because they are meant to be. They all start chattering loudly. Nathan has a hangover and says they're giving him a headache and "please shut up."
"Haley," He taps her shoulder after practice on Thursday. Haley turns around. She has just finished leading a cheer, and the top of her uniform is soaked with perspiration. She still looks gorgeous though, Nathan thinks.
"What?" She asks.
"Do you want to go out on a date?" Nathan has decided to ask her in front of a group of people so she can't possibly turn him down. He rubs his right temple; thankfully, his headache is going away.
"Oh my god." Brooke pokes Haley's arm. "Haley, say something."
"What?" Haley crosses her arms in front of her chest.
"Do you want to go out on a date with me?" Nathan asks.
Bevin squeals. "Haley, say yes."
"Yes." Haley says. "Okay."
Nathan smiles. "Is six o'clock tomorrow alright?"
"Fine."
Nathan has never gone out on a true date. He only takes his dates to parties, not to dinners and movies. He wonders what she is wearing as he stares at his closet. Nathan starts to freak out.
"Tim!" He cries when Tim picks up his phone. "I need help. What do I wear?"
Tim is at a party. Nathan hears the cheering and yelling in the background. "Dude, wear clothes."
"I mean, like should I wear nice clothes or just jeans? What is she going to be wearing?"
"How would I know?"
"Is Brooke there?" Nathan is frantic now. He is wiggling his toes and tapping out a rhythm with his fingers on his thigh. "Maybe she'll know." Brooke and Haley are best friends along with Peyton but Nathan knows Brooke better.
Brooke picks up. "Nathan?"
"Brooke, help. What is Haley wearing? What if she's dressed up or something?"
"Chill out." Brooke says. "Wear your dark denim jeans and a button down. But not the green one. Preferably the white and green checked one."
Nathan sighs, just happy someone knows what he should wear. "Thanks."
"No problem. Have fun. Bye." Brooke hangs up. Nathan hangs up, and quickly dresses.
