CHAPTER 1

"I don't get it and that's all there is to it!" Nathan said, fustration obvious in his voice. He looked over at his girlfriend, Haley James, if anyone would have told him two months ago that he'd be dateing 'tutorgirl' he would've laughed at them and probably would've shoved them in a locker afterwords.

"Come on Nate. I know it's hard to understand at first but you need to try or else you're gonna get kicked off the team for good. I mean all you need to do is pass this test and you'll be back on the team." Haley's eyes were filled with concern as she looked over at Nathan. The two of them sat in the library, occuping the usual table in the back.

"You think I don't know that Haley?" Nathan slammed his books shut and started thrusting them into his backpack

"Nathan, I didn't mean anything by it." Haley grabbed Nathan's arm and tryed to coax him to stay. "Please just sit down and talk to me." Haley looked up at Nathan and the look in his eyes was enough to make Haley recoil.

"You know what, I'm sick of talking, that's all we ever do talk, talk, talk and I'm getting really fucking sick of it!" Nathan could feel the veins in his head throbbing and the blood seering through his veins. He looked down at Haley who was trying desprately to hold back the tears that were threating to fall from her eyes.

"Whatever Haley, I've gotta go." Nathan swung his back pack over his shoulder and slammed his chair in so hard that it caused Haley to jump in her seat.

"Nathan, I just want to help." A lone tear managed to escape and ran down her cheek. She brought her trembleing hand to her cheek and swiped it away quickly, as if ashamed it had escaped.

"Get over it Haley and grow up." Nathan walked away and left Haley stunned, sitting in her chair. Haley remained in her chair for several minutes before moving. She replayed what had just happened in her head over and over, trying to figure out what she had done wrong, and she kept on comeing up with the same anwser over and over agian, nothing. I don't think I did anything. Did I do anything? Did I say something insensitive? God. I'm so stupid. I was being pushy agian. That's it I just pushed him to hard. I'll just see him tomorrow morning and everything will be okay, I just won't push. Finally Haley started to collect all of her books and placed them in her bag. She walked out of the library and made her way out to her locker.

"Hey Tutorgirl." Brooke called out from the gym. Brooke turned back towards her squad and said something that Haley couldn't hear. Haley turned away from the gym and continued to make her way to her locker. Suddenly Brooke poked Haley causing her to jump."You think I was just gonna let you get away"

"Huh?" Haley looked at Brooke, confusion written clearly on her face. Haley rarely ever talked to Brooke and when she did it was normally only because she had been with Lucas or Peyton.

"Come on Tutorgirl, don't tell me you forgot." Brooke looked at Haley who was still clearly confused as to what she was talking about. "Ugh." Brooke rolled her eyes at 'tutorgirl' and finally decided to remind her of what she was referring to. "I didn't see you when school ended and I distinctly remeber a certian tutorgirl agreeing to go shopping with me today"

"I thought you were jokeing about that. I mean malls really aren't my thing." Brooke made a fake hurt face.

"What? Me, joke about shopping. I thought you knew me better then that." Haley just let out a laugh and turned to her locker and started her combination. "C'mon. Please. Pretty Please with Brooke on top." Brooke held her hands together as if praying or begging for food. Haley just rolled her eyes at the bruenette.

"Why would you want to go shopping with me?" Haley contiued rummaging through her locker trying to find the right book, Haley found what she was looking for and placed it in her bag with everything else. She slammed her locker shut and turned around to face Brooke.

"Okay then so I'll pick you up in an hour and then we'll go to the mall." Brooke looked Haley in the eyes, which was her way of letting her know she wasn't going to back down. Haley finally rolled her eyes in order to break the mini-staring contest that was going on between the two.

"Fine. You win. I'll go shopping with you."

"Deal" Brooke put her hand out, and Haley took hold of it and they shook on it. "One Hour"
