Chapter 6-Jealousy Grows, Hidden Feelings

A/N-Please keep reviewing if you want me to continue my fic.


Haley walked down the school stairs with her gilligan hat on and her hands in her coat pockets when she feels a tap on her shoulder. She turns around quickly and is shocked to see Nathan Scott standing right behind her. She squints her eyes and looks at him weirdly.

'Uh...hi?' Haley said sort of confused as she shifted her weight from foot to the other

'Whose that guy?' Nathan asked with his hands behind the straps of his backpack

'Whose what guy?'

'That guy...the blonde haired guy'

'Why do you even care?' Haley said taking her hands out of her pockets and putting her hands on her hips

'I dont' Nathan said trying to act cool, even know inside, he was bubbling with jealousy

'Then why are u even asking me?'

'Because, Peyton was like talking about him or something'

'Oh you mean she ACTUALLY forgave you this time?' Haley said raising her eyebrows

Nathan rolled his eyes and shook his head 'I dont even know why I'm talking to you'

'So how bout you do us both a favor and just stop talking to me then' Haley said widening her eyes slightly and smiling innocently

Nathan scoffed to himself and pressed his lips together and just walked right past her and to the parking lot. He didnt know why this whole thing with Haley being friends with Lucas even bothered him. He never gave a care in the world for Haley and now that she made a new friend, who happens to be a guy, he suddenly cares.

Peyton was laying back on her bed drawing in her sketchbook with her black pencil. She tilted her head as she looked down and started to shade a part of the drawing in. A few seconds later, she looked up and let out a sigh. She couldnt get Lucas's face out of her mind. That broody, pouty look on his face. To her, Lucas was different then other guys at the school. Different than Nathan. He seemed more sensitive and caring. At least thats the gist she got when she talked to him for 10 minutes at lunch. She wanted to get to know him more and get to know what type of music he was in and what he liked to do in his spare time. The only way she could do that was to find out when Haley was going to be with Lucas so she could invite herself along. But would Haley even want her to come? I mean all she was doing was ditching her to go to parties or to hang out with Nathan who never really cared about Peyton feelings. All Peyton knew was that she had to get to know Lucas. Something about him seemed to intrigue her.

Lucas was lying on his bed reading 'Catcher in the Rye' with Keane playing on his stereo in a low volume. All afternoon he was thinking about Peyton. He couldnt seem to get her out of his mind with her currly blonde locks and her unique sense of style. He enjoyed spending his time getting to know her at lunch. But he wanted to get to know her even more. He wanted to know everything about her. Her likes and dislikes. He wanted to know all of her smiles. Like her smile when she was excited, her innocent smile, her smile when someone complimented her. All of them. He wanted to know everything about her, not just her smiles. But the only way he could do that was through Haley. Haley was her bestfriend and he was also friends with her. 'Maybe I could suggest inviting Peyton along' Lucas thought to himself as he rested his book on his stomach. But he didnt want to use Haley just to get to know Peyton because Haley was the first friend he made since he moved here and he didnt want to lose her. But he wanted to get to know Peyton...know every little detail that made her Peyton Sawyer.
