Hi, thank you for your reviews, they made me smile.
I promise the next chapter will be longer and actually have some Naley interaction of some kind, but I need to set up the story, so read it and tell me what ya'll think.
Brooke didn't understand it.
Haley was totally cute. Yes, she had that whole, virginal dress sense going on, but she still managed to look totally hot. She was smart and funny and kind. What more could I guy want right?
Well she knew what most of the morons at her school wanted. But there had to be a few good ones out there right? After all she had Lucas. So why is it that Haley was still spending her Saturday nights eating excessive amounts of ice cram while watching Mandy Moore movies?
Actually that didn't sound too bad. But that was beside the point. She wanted her friend to be happy and while Haley kept on insisting that she was, Brooke new she could be happier. And what were friends are for right?
Out the corner of her eye she saw Payton Sawyer, her other bestest friend in the world, walk into the cafeteria.
"Brooke. No" she said as she slumped sown into the seat beside her.
"What? I didn't even say anything."
Payton smiled ruefully "I know, which by the way is kind of strange. But you don't have to. You had that look."
"What look?" Brooke asked feigning innocence.
"That look you get when you're planning something. Which always ends up going wrong." She sighed." Fine. Just tell me."
"I'm not specifically planning anything-"
"But…"
"Well, you know Haley" She said shaking her head.
Payton grinned." Were tight."
"We'll, she need's a guy!"
Payton giggled. "Brooke, some people just don't need boyfriends. And I'm guessing Haley's one of those people"
"Doesn't mean she doesn't want one."
"Well, what are you gonna do set her up? No way, she's a 17 year old girl, she can sort her own love life out"
"Payton, please, its not like she has one, we'll apart from that little repartee she and Nathan have going on"
Payton chuckled, she had seen those two in action." What is up with that, does she have a thing for him?"
"We'll she denies it of course, but its hard to tell with her"
"We'll there is some definite, um, chemistry with those too. But don't you think Nathan's a bit of a player?"
"A bit? He's like the pimp of tree hill, but I don't know, Lucas says he's actually okay when you get to know him maybe he's cool"
Payton's eyes were fixed on the back of the room. "We'll let's hope so because he seems to be spending a lot of time following our dear Haley around" She said while pointing to the back of the room.
Brooke turned to see Haley and Nathan bickering as usual.
"How can too people argue so much over so little?" she asked.
"It's a mystery to me. But you know maybe your right."
Brooke beamed. "Goldilocks I'm always right. But um, what about?"
Payton laughed." Um Haley, needing a little push with her love life".
Brooke smiled." Well, what do you propose we do?"
"I don't know…. Wait."
"What?"
"I've had a light bulb moment." She said grinning.
