Chapter 18

The next day Haley was talking to Brooke on class when Mrs. Finch came into the classroom with flowers.

"These are for Haley James." Mrs. Finch said giving the flowers to the teachers who gave them to Haley.

"Aw! Nate got you flowers!" Brooke said. "Read the card!"

'Dear Hales,
I'm sorry for all I did to you I'm so sorry please forgive me, I need you.
Derek'

After reading the card Haley had tears streaming down her face. She got out of her seat, threw the flowers in the trash can and stormed out of the classroom. After leaving Haley ran down towards the gym, where she knew Nathan would be. When she got to the gym she ran into Lucas."

"Hales, what's wrong?" Lucas asked seeing the tears streaming down her face.

"He wont leave me alone." she cried falling into Lucas' arms.

"Who Hales?"

"Derek. He ...he sent me flowers saying he's sorry and that he needs me."

"I'm gonna kick his $$."

"Just make him stop."

"Luke, Whitey...Hales what's wrong?" Nathan asked seeing Haley crying in Lucas' arms.

"Derek sent her flowers saying he's sorry and that he needs her." Lucas said for Haley.

"That asshole." Nathan said taking Haley into his arms.

Back in the classroom

"Miss James!" Mrs. Rogers called after Haley.

"Miss Davis sit back down, this is a class and you are not allowed to be running around these halls." Mrs. Rogers said seeing Brooke getting up to go after Haley.

"But..."

"No buts sit back down in your seat."

"Hales what happened? Rogers made me stay in class." Brooke said at lunch.

"It was from Derek."

"That $$! God Hales this must suck having him like stalking you."

"All I want is for him to leave me alone."

"I'm sure he will Hales. Hopefully."

"Don't worry Hales, if he comes around we can just set Brooke on him again." Lucas laughed sitting down at the table.

"Hey no one hurts my friend and gets away with it." Brooke responded.

"Thanks Brooke." Haley said smiling slightly.

after a long day at school, Haley finally got to go home. All she wanted to do was go home and forget everything that happened that day. She walked into her house and up to her room. When she got into her room she decided to check her email to see if her dad had send her any mail. When she signed on an instant message popped up.

"Na..Nate? I'm scared." Haley said into her phone.

"What's the matter Hales?"

"I...I think I'm being stalked."
