Author's Note: Hey all, sorry it's been so long. I'm glad that you still
like my story. I honestly didn't think anybody would, everything seems to
be Naley now a days. I personally am not a fan of anything Naley related. I
like the unconventional couples a lot more. Anyway, yes, Nathan will
probably be appearing in this chapter, but I don't want any review begging
me to break Brooke and Haley up and get Haley together with Nathan, it's
not gonna happen. And I'm not gonna put Brooke with Lucas. Get over it.
This is a Baley fanfiction till the end. Okay, so I'm done now.
..........WWHT..........
Peyton pulled her car into her usual spot at Tree Hill High, with Brooke and Haley sitting in the back. The lovebirds got out and waiting patiently for Peyton to join them before the three of them began their walk to the school. They had to get there early because Peyton and Brooke had cheerleading practice, which meant there was basketball practice too. As they were walking, Haley spotted Lucas sitting on a bench, watching them.
"You coming to practice, Hales?" Peyton asked as they continued their walk. Haley shook her head, pointing in Luke's direction. Peyton nodded in understanding.
"I'm gonna go see what Luke's up to," she answered. She turned to Brooke to make sure it was okay with her. Brooke nodded, knowing she was asking permission. "I'll see you first period?"
"Yep," Brooke smiled. She looked over at Luke too and gave him a little wave in which he returned in confusion. She turned back to her girl friend. "I'd kiss you goodbye, but I don't want to give Mr. Scott an eye full."
"No, we wouldn't want that," Peyton agreed. They stopped just outside the door. "I'll see you later, Hales."
"Bye, baby," Brooke sighed, wishing she could kiss her girlfriend. "I love you."
"Love you, too," Haley smiled as she began to back up. "Give me a B, give a Y, give an E. What does that spell?" Peyton and Brooke both mock leered at her and she laughed. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Bye guys." They waved at her one last time before walking into the school. Haley laughed and made her way over to where Luke was sitting. "Hi, broody best friend." Luke looked at her strangely, but laughed.
"Hi, surprisingly perky best friend." He held up his hand and Haley gave him a high five before sitting down beside him. "Do my eyes deceive me or did I just see you arrive with the cheer patrol?" She hit him on the arm.
"Oh, yeah," she sighed. "What can I say, they kidnapped me. I had no choice."
"I feel so guilty for not being able to rescue you," Luke said in fake sadness. "Did they torture you and tie you up?" Haley pretended to gasp at the hopefulness in his voice.
"That's nice," Haley replied. "Naw, we had a little girly sleep over party. What are those called again?" The only sleep overs she ever had were with Luke and those usually consisted of watching some horrible Bruce Willis movie, fighting over the popcorn and arguing over who got the bed which always ended in Karen yelling at Luke and ordering him to sleep on the couch. "Help me out here. There's chick flicks and low fat yogurt, pillow fights..."
"Slumber party?"
"Yes!" she cheered. They both shared a laugh. "Peyton invited us over after the movie." Luke raised an eyebrow, surprised that she had spent so much time alone with the two cheerleaders.
"What movie did you see?"
"Mean Girls," she answered quickly. She wanted to change the subject as soon as possible before he could ask her about the movie. "So, why are you out here? Aren't you supposed to be at practice?"
"I was in there before," Luke told her. "But Theresa was yelling at the squad about something and told us all to stay at our end of the court. I just wanted to get some fresh air away from all the yelling." Haley nodded, wondering what Theresa was yelling about. Wasn't Brooke the caption? "I think the rest of the team headed to the dressing room. Away from the terror."
"When was all of this?" she asked. Luke shrugged his shoulders and checked his watch.
"Twenty minutes, I guess," he answered. "Do you think it's safe to go back in yet?" Haley nodded and stood up, holding out her arm for him to link his through. He rolled his eyes, knowing how stupid they would look, but did it anyways. Anything to make his best friend happy.
"Don't worry," she told him as they began to walk towards the gym. "I'll protect you from mean ol' Theresa. I promise." He sighed in relief.
"Oh, thank you, Hales," he said. "I just don't know what I would do without you." Haley laughed as they entered the school. As they neared the gym they could hear yelling. Haley stopped in her tracks, which caused Luke to do the same. He looked at her in confusion. "What?"
"That's Brooke," she stated. Before Luke could question her about it, she pulled her arm free and ran towards the gym. When she entered she was surprised to find it looked like a war zone. Theresa and most of the cheerleaders where standing on one side and Brooke and Peyton with maybe three other cheerleaders were standing on the other side.
"What or who I do in my spare time is none of your business!" Brooke shouted at Theresa. Haley's stomach topped to her feet. Guess their secret's out. As are they.
"It is when you're spending all your time with your new girlfriend when you're supposed to be practicing and working on our routines." Luke chose that moment to enter and stood with Haley, watching the argument. He had no idea what was going, but Haley feared he would soon enough.
"What are you talking about?" Brooke questioned, trying to think of any practices she had missed because of a date with Haley. She shook her head. "How do you even know about us, anyway?" Theresa smirked and looked over at Haley and Luke, who were standing at the doors. Brooke and Peyton followed her gaze. Brooke froze when she saw them. This was so not good.
"I saw you and her making out at the Docs," she answered, pointing to where Haley and Luke stood. Brooke and Haley both closed their eyes, waiting for Luke's outburst. Lucas looked at his best friend in shock.
"What?" he questioned. Everyone in the room was now watching the two best friends, awaiting the blow up. Haley slowly turned around and was surprised when she didn't see the anger she had expected on his face. Instead he looked hurt.
"Luke..."
"What is she talking about, Hales?" he asked. He was praying that his best friend hadn't been lying to him. He was hoping that Theresa was just trying to cause trouble as usual. Haley flinched at the pained look on his face. She hated that she cause that.
"Please, Luke," she began, reaching out to him. He took a step back. "Just let me explain." Luke shook his head.
"No," he stated, forcefully. "Have you been lying to me?" Haley hung her head and nodded, not being about to look at him. "For how long?" Brooke started to make her way over to help her girlfriend out.
"Look, it's not as bad as..."
"Just shut up, Brooke," he snapped at her. She immediately closed her mouth, but still walked over to join Haley, not waiting her to take all of the punishment. He gave her a dirty look when she wrapped her arms around Haley's waist. He looked Haley directly in the eyes. "How long?"
"A month," she whispered. Luke let out a puff of air in frustration. "I'm so sorry, Luke. I didn't want to hurt you..." He held up his hands to stop her.
"Save it, Haley," he snapped at her. "I thought you were my best friend." Before she could answer him, he stormed out of the gym, slamming the door on the way out. Except for the echoing of the door, the gym was silent. Peyton slowly made her way over to were her best friends were and laid a supportive hand on Haley's shoulder.
"Well, isn't that nice," Theresa teased. They all turned around to face her, having forgotten that the squad was there.
"Go to hell, Theresa," Brooke hissed at her, not wanting Haley to get hurt anymore than she already was. She looked around at the other girls, most of whom were giving them dirty looks too. "Practice is over."
"You don't have the authority to make that decision anymore," Theresa smirked at her. Brooke looked at her in confusion. "We took a vote before you got here, you are no longer caption."
"You can't do that..."
"It's done." She looked over at the girls that had taken Brooke and Peyton side before. "You with us or them? Cause you can feel free to go with them if you want." They looked over at Brooke, hoping she understood. Brooke nodded, telling them that she didn't hold any hard feelings. They lowed their heads in shame and joined the other girl. Theresa smiled victoriously. "What about you, Peyton? What's it gonna be?"
"Like you even have to ask," she spat at her. "All of you make me sick." She shook her head at them before turning towards Brooke and Haley. "Come on, let's get out of here." Haley nodded and let herself be led back out to Peyton's car.
..........WWHT..........
Meanwhile, the rest of the team was in the locker room waiting until it was okay for them to go back out and practice. They could hear yelling and screaming, but couldn't understand what they were saying. Tim walked over to where Nathan was working out. He sat down beside his buddy.
"Hey, man," Nathan greeted him, lying the weights down that he had been lifting. He grabbed the towel that was beside him and wiped his face clean before wrapping it around his neck. "What's up?"
"Nothing much," Tim smirked. "You going to the party tomorrow night at Brad's house?" Nathan nodded, taking a gulp from his water bottle.
"Yeah," he answered. "I was thinking about asking Haley to go. We haven't really spent a lot of time together since the drama with my parents started. It should be fun." Nathan caught the smirk on Tim's face. "What's so funny?"
"Dude, you don't have a chance with Haley," Tim told him, patting him on the back in a macho way. "Never gonna happen, man."
"And why not?" Nathan asked. "You going out with her or something?" Nathan almost burst out laughing at the thought of Tim having a girlfriend. Tim shook his head, not catching the teasing tone in his friend's voice.
"No, but she is going out with someone." Nathan's face fell. Damn, he had wasted too much time. He knew he shouldn't have given her all that space.
"Who?" The smirk on Tim's face grew to a full-blown smile. He was going to cherish the look on Nathan's face forever when he tells him.
"Brooke," he stated. Nathan's eyes widened in shock. Tim burst out laughing. "She's gay, dude. Not even you can break through that barrier." With one more slap on the back he left his friend alone in his misery.

That's it for now. I hope you all like it. Please, tell me what you thought. Thanks. Bye.
