Chapter 4
When all was settled everyone sat in the positions most comfortable with them, as they got ready to retell the events of movie night.
'So, shall we begin?' Soraya asked carefully pulling the blankets over her so that her feet would be covered.
'Begin what?' Haley asked playing dumb as she tried to avoid the inevitable.
'Funny James' Nathan answered before he put his infamous smirk into place, he continued. 'Since Haley has no idea whatsoever about what Soraya was talking about, I'll tell you what happened on movie night.'
Before Haley could object, Soraya intervened 'Thank you for volunteering Nathan' she began and smiled when she saw Haley's horrified expression, 'but I would like Brooke to begin, if she doesn't mind that is' Soraya asked with fake innocence and grinned to herself when she saw the baffled expressions on Haley and Nathan's expressions.
Brooke lifted her face up at the mention of her name and her eyes sparkled with excitement as she heard Soraya's request. Everyone (apart from Brooke) turned to her and she beamed gleefully. 'Of course I'd love to do the honours, so this is where the night started off with me…'
'You ready for tonight tutor girl?' Brooke asked as she sat down on Haley's neatly made bed. Tonight was the night that Hell Broke Loose according to Brooke's hypothesis anyway. She smiled looking at Haley, it looked like Haley was finally going to join the majority of Tree Hill High's population in drinking alcohol, underage and illegally she might add.
'Do I look it?' Haley asked nervously as she tugged at her sleeveless red polo neck, well Brooke's top but that wasn't the point. However Haley profusely refused to wear any of Brooke's skirts, after all it was only the gang, so Haley wore her own pair of black bootleg trousers along with her black ankle boots.
'Here, let me do your make-up for you' Brooke kindly offered. She laughed looking at Haley's fearful expression. 'Don't worry, I'll do it extremely light for you…well not extremely but passive.' She loved the way Haley cringed as soon as Brooke mentioned anything your average American girl would do.
'Fine,' Haley relented. 'Only because you didn't ruin my hair though' She gave Brooke a warm smile, which hopefully showed how grateful she was.
'Honey, all I did was style your hair in loose curls using the tongs.' Brooke wrinkled her nose in distaste, that was too simple for her. 'I wish you would have let me done something a bit more…stylish'
'Seriously Brooke, this is more than enough, I don't even know why I got my hair curled in the first place.' Haley answered her; she and Brooke had grown quite fond of each other, (as friends of course) ever since Brooke and Lucas had started dating each other, it was now a threesome of best friends with Brooke, Haley and Peyton.
Brooke stopped applying mascara on Haley for a moment to study her expression before continuing. 'Because this is your night, your event, you will be the centre of attention tonight and you want to look your best' Brook answered truthfully, hoping Haley wouldn't throw a sarcastic comment.
'It's gonna be Nathan's as well' Haley retorted grumpily. It was just like him to always get the attention.
'Huh?' Brooke asked puzzled, she didn't understand what Haley was getting at, so she waited for her to continue.
'It's Nathan's night as well.' Haley whined, she didn't know why he was whining but she couldn't stop it either.
'Oh My God!' Brooke exclaimed excitedly. 'Is Haley James jealous? Of Nathan Scott? Brooke was all but dancing from this as her eyes were. She couldn't believe it! After all that moaning and bitching Haley had done about how he was such an attention seeker, Brooke only realized now that it was out of jealousy.
'WHAT?' Haley asked shocked 'I'm jealous of Nathan Scott?
'Haley, jealous of me?' Nathan asked cockily, 'Most girls wanna get me in bed, but I guess jealousy is ok as well.'
'Have you ever listened to yourself?' Haley asked him. 'Seriously, I never thought it was possible for so much bullshit to come out of one mouth!'
'Language Haley' Jake warned her as Jenny was there on his lap and awake, he didn't appreciate swearing in front of his angelic daughter.
'Sorry,' Haley answered embarrassed. 'Can you blame me though I mean I have never met such an arrogant, conceited jack—jerk in my life, I thought Chris was bad, but he's an angel compared to Nathan.'
Soraya spoke up at that. 'You didn't think that two years ago!' and failed to hold back a laugh.
Haley shot her a murderous look, to which Soraya responded by settling back into silence.
'Do you mind?' Nathan spat out in fake bitterness. 'I don't like being compared to people, especially those who I don't know about.'
Brooke chose this moment to express her aggravation; 'I was speaking!' she shot Nathan, Haley, Soraya and Jake an annoyed glance.
They all murmured incoherent words or phrases which sounded like apologies. Lucas and Peyton turned away in an effort to stifle their laughter.
'Thank you.' Brooke continued she was now smiling cheerfully as though she had never been upset in the first place. She was an expert in façades, something everyone in the group had in common, even Soraya the newcomer. 'So as I was saying…'
'WHAT?' Haley asked shocked 'I'm jealous of Nathan Scott?' She took a deep breath before continuing. 'You have got to be joking me! What is there to be jealous about? I'm not really into arrogance all that much, or cockiness, or conceitedness, or anything else that's associated with a jock.'
'Okay,' Brooke answered calmly as though she had never gotten excited in the first place, she wanted to see Haley's reaction to her nonchalant act. Deep down she still had lots more to say.
'Okay?' Haley asked making sure she heard Brooke correctly, did she just hallucinate or did Brooke just play the whole thing off when a minute ago she was leaping out for joy…well excitement in this case.
'Yup, you're all done' Brooke smiled at her, but at her confused expression she added, 'your make-up Hales'.
'Oh right, thank you.' Haley looked in the mirror and grinned. Brooke had kept her word, the make up was light or passive as Brooke described it. Yet she was still was curious as to why Brooke had dropped the subject so quickly, so she brought it back up. 'So that's it?'
'So that's it what?' Brooke asked although she already knew what Haley was referring to.
'The whole me being jealous of Nathan debate?' Haley answered, as she neatened her dressing table.
'Oh that,' Brooke laughed. 'Honey, from what you just said, I've realised that no matter how much we talk about that, you're not gonna admit—agree with me, so why bother wasting my breath when I can use it later on to do more…sexual things.'
Haley laughed at this, though she was tempted to argue with Brooke once more, she held back her comment and finished cleaning up her room.
'Come on let's go meet up with everyone, shall we?' Brooke asked as she put her arm around Haley's and they walked out of Haley's house and towards Brooke's car. 'We gotta go pick up Peyton now anyways.'
'Okay, I'm thirsty now! Be right back!' Brooke told her as she got up and went into the James kitchen to get her some water to drink.
