Sunlight had seemed to be on Haley's bad side today as she squinted her eyes before fully opening them. Her head was beginning to pound and she felt, well not herself. She sighed and looked up at the ceiling. If only she could remember the events that took place the night before, if only she could remember how she had gotten into this bed, and most importantly if only it was clear to her whose bed this belonged. Haley laid there for a minute pondering all of this but her reasoning still coming up blank. Then she remembered "Tim's' party." She and Luke had come together and her intentions were to let loose and of course to forget. Haley smiled to herself "well like the saying goes... mission accomplished." She laughed out loud and was beyond shocked to feel movement coming from the bed. No sooner after the movement did she feel an arm drape around her waist and a body scoot even closer to her own. She cursed herself over and over inside of her head. Haley's plan for last night seemed fool-proof but now looking down at the manly arm holding her body she realized she may have overlooked some very important points. Well now would be a better time than any to see who the other was. To face the man she assumed she had "been with" the previous night. So being brave and knowing now would be the time Haley cautiously turned to see his sleeping figure. Of all the people, all the guys it had to be him. Haley was shocked, surprised, scared, angry, and a little nervous all at once. Talk about mix emotions huh? She stumbled trying to get away but the fact that her body was wrapped in blankets she only succeeded in one thing, making a loud crash as she fell to the floor.

H. Holy mother of...
N. interrupting Well morning to you to Haley.
H. what... how... w...why... no no no continueing to shake her head
N. Whoa okay slow down there lady killer. Breath. Okay now care to try again?

Haley furiously lifted her body from the floor, standing to her feet and looking both Nathan and herself over. Both of their clothes still seemed to be in tact. Hmm... Maybe she was just over reacting. She sighed taking a deep breath, closing her eyes, and preparing herself for the worst. One thing you should know about Haley is despite her popularity background she was still sweet and innocent. Meaning even though she could have the privilege of sleeping with any of the high school population she chose against it and remained chaste. That's right Ms. Haley Elizabeth James was still a virgin. Not many new the secret she kept. Well other than some of her closest friends, her parents, and of course some of her past boyfriends, but everyone else seemed to think she was just like every other cheerleader. They never thought that a girl like her had made a promise not only to herself but to her parents that she would remain chaste till after saying "I do." So far it hadn't been a problem. Other than occasional break-ups caused solely on this reason it had never fully affected Haley. That is until now. Now after losing complete control the night before and chancing breaking that promise Haley began to panic. She needed answers and she needed them now.

H. Please, please tell me we didn't you know last night.
N. smirked I'm sorry I don't exactly know what your referring to as "you know" can you maybe be a little more specific.
H. Ugh you know exactly what "you know" means Nathan so don't even start with me! Just answer the damn question.
N. I'm really not taking a liking to that tone Ms. Haley James. Now maybe if you went about asking that question a little nicer, maybe then I would have thought about giving you a proper answer.
H. Honestly I don't need this right now! What I need are some answers.
N. Oh is that so... mom

Haley looked up at the ceiling. She didn't understand why he was doing this. Did he really enjoy seeing her suffer? Did he want to make her cry? Who was she kidding of course he did. Nathan Scott was the most repulsive adolescent there was and Haley was quite aware of this. Instead of going out of his way to make people happy he enjoyed doing the opposite. This was yet another reason she despised him. Another reason to loathe him. He enjoyed watching her suffer or so she thought and this only made the tears flow more freely. Haley was a very secretive type of girl. She never let anyone see her suffer or let them feel her pain. She hated looking weak in front of people and crying was a sure sign of weakness. The only time Haley could let her feelings show was when she was locked away in her room writing in her journal or burying her face deep within her pillow. If at anytime Haley cried outside of her bedroom walls it had to be a big deal. Nobody else was aloud to see her unless a part of her precious circle and that was if and only if she needed a shoulder to lean on for support or someone to wipe those tears away. Anger was starting to build up inside of her. Nathan Scott her enemy had broken her. He had not only witnessed but also caused her to break down.

H. For crying out loud Nathan stops being an ass and just answers the question!
N. Why? Is it really that big of a deal if we did?
H. of course it is Nathan. It's a huge deal! raising her voice
N. why?
H. Answer my question and I'll answer yours.
N. What was the question again?
H. grinding her teeth did we have sex last night?
N. You and I?...Together?...Us?...Haley and Nathan?...The both of...
H. NATHAN!
N. no Haley we didn't. Are you happy now?
H. Very much so. starts walking out the door stopping only when Nathan grabs her Arm. Can I help you?
N. I answered. Now it's your turn.
H. whoa look at the time. Don't want to be late on our first day back. That doesn't set such a good...
N. Haley why would it be so bad?
H. For many reasons. One being the fact that you're not my fondest person to be around.
N. and the others?
H. Ugh you wouldn't understand okay? Sex to you is like a chore or something. You would never understand my reasoning, ever.
N. Just try me.
H. No. I don't really like opening up with you Nathan. You're not exactly a friend to me so therefore you don't need to know anyways. I don't really like you so sharing secrets or reasoning with you is pointless.
N. frustrated Yeah well that's not what your opinion was on me last night.
H. But I thought you said we didn't...
N. We didn't!
H. Then what the hell are you talking about Nathan?
N. I don't know. Why don't you figure it out!
Nathan turned and stormed into the connected bathroom slamming the door behind him and ending their conversation at that. Haley left wondering what Nathan's meaning was to that statement and Nathan pondering the reasons why Haley felt the need to hide her feelings she admitted to having. What a day this was going to be. Will everything go smoothly as planned or will there be more bumps and discoveries down this road?
