Chapter Five

Haley sat next to Brooke in CCC the same day.

"Hey Brooke."

"Hey Hales."

"How come you ran off during lunch?" Haley asked.

Brooke looked around the classroom. The three freshmen hadn't showed up so it was all good. Brooke told Haley what she had over heard.

"That bitch," exclaimed, "I'm gonna kick her ass."

"Chill Hales. I got a plan."

Before they could continue the three freshmen in question showed up and the class started.

"Today I'm going to tell you about your first project. This is the only project were your going to be allowed to choose your own topic. You choose a topic and make a slide show with eight slides on it. It's due on Monday. You can start choosing your topic now," Ms. Bishop explained.

"So what topic do you want to do?" Brooke asked.

"I don't know but I can already tell you what Lucas and Jake will be doing."

"They're gonna do basketball," Brooke said.

"Of course."

"So what should we do?" Haley asked.

Brooke and Haley thought. But instead of thinking she eavesdropped on her husband and Regina.

"Why don't we do basketball," Nathan suggested.

"Nah. What about American Idol?" Regina suggested.

"No way."

"Fine we'll do a sport but not basketball."

"Football?"

"No."

"Baseball?"

"Alright."

"I got lot's of stuff on the Yankee's and Boston Red Sox at my apartment."

"You have your own place?" Regina asked surprised.

"Yeah."

Nathan wrote out his address.

"I'll be there later."

The bell rang.

"Hales you okay?"

Haley snapped out of her trance to see Brooke waving her hand in front of her face.

"Yeah."

Haley followed Brooke out into the hall after grabbing her stuff.

"We can work more at my place," Haley told Brooke.

"Okay."

"It'll be the perfect chance to make sure Regina doesn't try and steal Nathan."

"Wait. Regina's gonna be there."

"Yeah. Nathan invited her over to work on their project."

"Then let's make sure we get there first," Brooke suggested.

Haley was never one to cut but this wasn't normal circumstance.

"I'm in."
