Chapter 6

New School and the uniforms…

Haley stared at herself in the mirror as she looked at her new outfit. She was wearing a uniform because the school required the students to wear one. The uniform was a white blouse, blue skirt, and a coat for those who decided to wear it with a crest of the school embroiled on it. She looked at her white socks and black schoolgirl shoes.

"This is some ugly uniform," she told her reflection as she looked at herself.

She got up a little early and straightened her hair so she was able to put a headband in it. She was interrupted by Maria knocking on her door, sporting the same uniform as her.

"Stylin' huh?" she told her as she walked into her room with her book bag.

"Yeah, they should definitely show these outfits on the style channel," she retorted sarcastically.

"You think that we pay so much money for the school, we attend, and they can't even afford better uniforms," she replied.

"Seems like…" she responded as she continued to look at herself. "Oh, well…" she said turning around, "lets go."

"You don't eat breakfast?" Maria asked confused.

"No, I never have time to grab something before school. Usually I just grab a snack bar and leave," she explained to her.

"Oh, I see. Well we'll just grab some quick snack bar and leave then," she told her mockingly.

They both began to laugh as they walked out of the room and into the kitchen. Maria walked over to a cabinet, opened it, and grabbed two bars.

"Here you go," she directed her.

"Thanks," she replied as she accepted it and continued to walk towards the door.

In 15 minutes they were both at school. Haley looked at her new school and was amazed at the structure of the high school. A lot of students were standing around in the hallways wearing the required uniform, talking among their cliques.

'Just like Tree Hill; some things don't change,' she thought to herself as she got out of the car.

"I will walk you to the office so you can grab your new schedule," she told her as she directed her to wherever that was at.

"Thanks," she replied as she followed her.

She walked passed the group of students and was amazed at the stares she was getting from some students. They had curious looks and some guys even smiled to her. Soon, Maria opened the door to the office and they both walked inside. She walked up to the secretary and talked to her.

"Sí, ella es una de los nuevos estudiantes de Tree Hill," she told her as she pointed at me. "Necesita su horario," she added.

Haley just stood dumbfounded as Maria talked to the secretary.

"Claro, ella es la ultima en llegar. Los restos de los estudiantes ya llegaron," she told her as she handed her Haley's schedule.

"Muchas gracias," she responded as she began to walk towards her.

"Here is your schedule and the secretary said that your friends have already come and picked up their new schedules," she told her as she handed her her schedule.

"Really? I never knew Brooke was an early person. For as long as I've known her, she has always been fashionably late," she informed her.

"So what class do you have first?" she asked.

"Um…" she said as she looked at her schedule, " I believe that I have English first. Thank God," she replied thankful of her first class. "I speak English so this class shouldn't be such a big deal," she told her.

"Awesome, I have class with you. So lets walk to class," she told her as she headed to their first period.

Maria led the way towards groups of students. Maria stopped abruptly as someone called her name.

"Maria!" yelled a voice.

She turned around and waited for the guy to catch up to her.

"Hola Mario. Que pasa?" she asked him.

"Nada…ya sabes, lo mismo, pero quien es tu nueva amiga?" he asked her as he looked over at Haley.

'Who the hell is he?' she thought to herself. 'Why don't you stop starring you jackass,' she added to herself.

"Ella es Haley. Ella se va a quedar por dos semanas conmigo. Vino de los Estados Unidos," she informed him.

"Entonces habla ingles?"

"Pos, claro!" she told him as she punched him lightly.

He turned around and introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Mario," he presented himself with an accent and took out his hand for a handshake.

"Hey Mario, my name is Haley," she greeted him as she shook his hand

"Well Haley, has anyone ever told you that you are very pretty," he told her, as he didn't let go of her hand.

'He's very forward,' Haley thought to herself.

"Well thank you Mario," she answered uneasy as she took in his features.

He appeared to be 5' 11" or 6", dark brown hair, brown eyes, and to be pretty built muscular. He was definitely not bad looking. Plus, he had a smile that made you melt when he flashed it.

"Well Mario, we have to go to class, so we'll see you later," Maria interrupted as she pushed Haley to the direction of their classroom.

Mario soon left, but not without kissing the back of Haley's hand and gave her a last smile.

"Hasta luego querida," he told her as he turned around and left to his class.

"Who was he?" Haley asked curious.

"That was the most popular guy and he has his eyes on you," she told her. "So how does it feel?" she asked.

"It feels different," she answered as she continued to walk. "It feels different, but good," she added with a smile as they walked arm and arm to their class.

Part II

Haley sat in class beside Maria waiting for the rest of her classmates to join them. There were a few students already inside, but not the entire class. She turned around towards the door and noticed someone else enter the classroom. She saw that it was none other than Nathan Scott wearing his uniform. She suddenly began to laugh out loud as she saw him. Nathan walked over to her and glared at her.

"What's so funny Haley?" he asked her annoyed.

"You look very striking in your uniform Nathan," she told him as she began to laugh harder.

"Well we only have two weeks of this then I'm back to dominating our school," he responded to her as he sat down behind her.

"Never thought I'll see the day that Nathan Scott would be wearing a uniform," she stated, as she got closer to him.

"Never thought I'll see the day that Haley James isn't acting like a complete, and utter bitch," he told her as he adjusted his bag pack. "Wait a second… you are acting a total bitch so never mind," he said with strain on the 'are'.

"First time for everything," she stated as she stood beside him. "As for example, today is the first time that the famous Nathan Scott isn't ruling the school…"

"Not yet, but I can tell my charm will soon change it," he said with a smile. "Proven by those girls," he said nodding to the group of girls in the corner of the classroom.

The girls soon erupted in giggles.

"Please…like those girls know who or what you are," she responded bitterly. "I'm going to have to take some pictures of you so I can show the entire school how 'handsome' you look in your uniform. I'll show them their highness in style," she replied laughing even harder.

Maria turned around and looked at the laughing Haley. She soon realized why she was laughing and began to talk.

"I think that Nathan looks really cute in his uniform," she told him with a flirtatious look.

Nathan smirked to Maria and then looked at Haley. Haley was disgusted at the looks exchanged that she turned around and faced the front of the room. She then noticed that Lucas and Peyton had joined the classroom full of students.

"Hey Lucas!" Haley greeted as she walked over to him and hugged him.

Lucas looked at his best friend, in her uniform, and whistled to her.

"Looking pretty good Haley," he complimented her.

"You think? I thought that it was the ugliest thing alive," she told her. "Well you don't look so bad yourself," she complimented him.

"Yeah I know…I hate these uniforms," Lucas responded as he adjusted his collar of his shirt.

"Don't be such a cry baby," replied Haley as she adjusted the collar for him.

Nathan looked away disgusted of the flirtation between his brother and his best friend.

"Wow…Peyton," Haley uttered as she looked at her amazed.

Haley turned around towards Peyton and was surprised. She had never seen Peyton in something other than a Tee, a black jacket, or jeans with her converse.

"Don't even say anything," Peyton warned her.

"Peyton, you look really pretty," she told her.

"Yeah, whatever you say," she responded, obviously annoyed of the uniform. "I hate Mexico so far," she added.

"Come on, it's not so bad," Haley told her.

"Yeah, Peyton you look pretty good," added Lucas as he looked up to her up and down.

Haley looked even closer to Peyton's ensemble. She was wearing the same skirt with also the same white shirt and shoes. However, if you looked closely, underneath her jacket and her white shirt, you could see that she had another shirt underneath.

"What the hell do you have underneath your shirt?" she asked curious.

Peyton began to smile as she unbuttoned her shirt. As she opened her shirt, she revealed a white Ramones shirt. Lucas and Haley let out a laugh.

"I knew that Peyton Sawyer couldn't just forget her individuality when she entered school," said Haley with a smirk.

"Well I couldn't just wear what's required. What's the fun if your follow the rules?" she questioned.

"Exactly," responded Brooke as she now stood beside them.

Everyone looked up and down at her altered uniform. The skirt was dramatically short while the shirt was tied in the front allowing her stomach to show.

"What the hell happened to your uniform?" asked Peyton as she looked at her.

"The scissors made me do it?" she tried to explain. "Not…I was thinking on how to make the outfit 'me' and I instantly thought of Britney Spears. What would have my life been if Baby One More Time would have never been recorded or released…" she told the group.

"Um…you probably would have actually been wearing an outfit that covered more than 60% of your body," answered Haley.

"What fun would that be? Besides…I need some help with some of my homework so I kind of need to find a study partner," she added with a wink. "I'll talk to you guys later," she announced as she approached a guy who just entered the classroom. "Later..."

The teacher suddenly entered the classroom and told the class to be seated.

"Todos tomen sus asientos," he told them.

He looked at his crowd of students and noticed his five new students. He smiled towards his new prey.

"Well, welcome you five to Colegio la Reyna (name of school)," he replied. "This is English class so I don't believe that you will have a problem in here," he told them as he directed his attention to the rest of the class.

"Todos, tenemos cinco nuevos estudiantes de Tree Hill, Carolina del Norte. Sí, ellos vienen de los Estados Unidos y se van a quedar por dos semanas," he informed the class.

All the students soon began to look at the new students and began to talk amongst themselves. Haley turned around towards a group of girls situated in the corner and noticed that they were talking about Nathan. The same group of girls from earlier soon began to giggle, again, and she began to get annoyed.

'Oh… please,' she thought.

Nathan began to smile at all the attention he was getting from the group of girls in the class.

'This isn't going to be so bad,' he thought to himself with a smirk.

'This is going to be so bad,' Haley told herself as she looked around at the students.

Part III

Haley stood beside Maria as they grabbed their food for lunch. So far, in all her classes she has managed to get homework. She has Peyton, Lucas, Brooke, and unfortunately Nathan in all her classes and chances are that they are in all her classes.

'At least it's Friday today,' Haley told herself as she thought of not having school for the next two days.

Lucas, Peyton, Brooke, and Nathan all sat down in a table in the cafeteria with plates of food. Maria and Haley finally joined them.

"Hey you guys," Haley greeted her friends.

"So what do you think of English, Math, and Science?" asked Lucas.

"I am in honors classes and I don't know anything that the teacher was talking about in Math," she told him annoyed.

"Yeah, here in Mexico the classes are more ahead than in the United States," Maria informed them.

"Have you seen the fine guys at the school," Brooke said out of nowhere, checking out a guy in a nearby table.

Everyone looked at her puzzled.

"What?" she asked dumbfounded.

Suddenly everyone began to abrupt in laughter.

"So…to celebrate you guys new arrival, we are going partying," Maria told them.

"Party? Hell yeah, count me in," replied Brooke happy of the mention of a party.

"What about everyone else?" asked Maria.

Everyone looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

"I guess we should get to know some of the people here. We are staying for two weeks," stated Lucas. "Okay count me in also," he said with a smile.

"Me too," added Peyton.

"I guess," responded Nathan.

"I don't know…" retorted Haley unsure.

"Haley, it's one single party. What is the harm in that?" asked Lucas.

Haley looked at her best friend and debated to whether to go or not.

"Fine, I guess… I do live with her anyways," responded Haley directing towards Maria.

"That's my girl," replied Lucas as he hugged her.

Nathan looked at Lucas and Haley and he unexpectedly began to feel jealousy towards Lucas.
