"Sure, what's up?" Haley asked, a questioning look on her face, wondering what it could be Luke wanted from her.
"Well my mom is really mad at me about that tattoo I got last weekend and has practically done everything but literally kick me out of the house. I basically have no privileges with her right now." Luke stated matter of factly…trying to be as dramatic about it as possible.
"Yeah…." Haley said, waiting for him to get to the point, curiosity overtaking her.
"Well when I went to Charleston this summer I met someone really great and we didn't get to hang out very much, and…well I was wondering…any chance you have room for my friend? I mean I just figured with your parents always traveling and all those extra bedrooms, maybe you could help me out?" Lucas asked, waiting in anticipation to her response.
"Of course, Luke any friend of yours is a friend of mine. I would be happy to let em' stay here." Haley said, relieved she wouldn't have to do anything crazy for him that might get her into trouble.
"Oh…." Luke let out a sigh of relief. "Great! Thank you so much. I so owe you one."
"Don't worry about it, its not problem. It'll be nice to have someone in the house for a change, instead of being here all by myself." Haley finished. Although she wandered why he would be inviting a girl over when he was "supposedly" in love with Brooke.
"Ok great you might want to be expecting em' about four-ish tomorrow." Luke informed her.
"Ok, I'll be ready" Haley said…"I should probably get ready for bed, see you tomorrow. Night Luke!"
"Okay, thanks Hales! Night!" Lucas replied.
The next morning Haley got up. It was Saturday she didn't have to wake up early, she was just used to it. She probably wasn't going to see Nathan today, he had a game in like Alaska, ok so she was exaggerating but still, he told her she didn't have to come since it was so far. She wanted to, but now she had to get ready for a guest, so she quickly went down the stairs throwing her hair into a ponytail on the way down. She poured herself some cereal in a bowl and sat down on the couch to watch some cartoons. When she was done she went upstairs flopped on her bed, grabbed her phone and texted Nathan a message that read, "Good Luck tonight, wish I could be with you. Missing you. Always and Forever, Hales" She went to make sure one of the other rooms was straightened up for the guest. She decided she should probably clean it up a little. It ended up taking her a few hours, because once she did that she decided she needed to clean the kitchen and then the bathroom. Then the door bell ring!
"Oh great, already!" Haley spat out, angry at herself for not leaving herself enough time to look presentable.
Haley opened the door, to see a cute girl standing on her porch, "hi" she said, giving the girl a smile.
"Hello," said the girl. "Would you like to buy any cookies today miss, we have all different kinds? The cute little girl asked her pigtails flopping around. "And if I sell 300 I win a trip to see HELLO KITTY ON ICE" the girl said with even more enthusiasm!
"Oh why yes I would then," she grinned, relieved. "No way I'm going to sleep at night knowing I stopped you from getting to see a cat skate!" Haley said with a laugh while grabbing some money. After the girl left Haley started to go upstairs to take a shower and change. Just as she almost reached the top, the door bell rang again.
"Ugh.." Haley sighed in unison with the ringing bell as she made her way back down.
"I just bought some cookiesss……" Haley started as she swung the door open to find a teenage figure in front of her this time.
"Wow! Hellooo! I'm Jason, Luke's friend! Lucas never mentioned I was going to be staying with such a hottie!" Jason raised his eyebrows in emphasis. "Nice going man!" he said as if Lucas was standing right there..
Haley stood there absolutely astonished! "What the hell"
