"Talk to your self much?"

Haley jumped and hit her head on the top of the tunnel as she looked over, "Ouch!" Haley seen a dark headed man in a pair of jogging shorts with no shirt on with a pair of piercing blue eyes looking straight at her. Those eyes. She knew them from some where.

"Sorry that I startled you," he smiled as he crawled in and sat next to Haley, "The name's Nathan," Then it hit her, "Nathan Scott." He continued to smile as he held his hand out, Haley shoke his hand.

"Ugh hi, I'm Ha-Haley." Haley studdered as she became nervous.

She couldn't believe that she has met up with Nathan! Nathan, out of all people who had to come to the same exact tunnel as she did, it was this Nathan. Haley looked up towards the sky and mouth, "Thank you Jesus." Now, Haley didn't know how to act. Ugh, why couldn't there have been a handbook...

Nathan turned his head to look outside, "I was on a run when it started to rain. I figured I'd run in the rain, until it got bad and started to hail."

Haley looked outside as well, she asked curiously, "Do you always run at this time of night?"

Nathan slighly laughed, "Yeah, sometimes I do..It helps me clear my head." Haley nodded.

"Ohhh, okay," Haley looked down at her hands as she said with a shakey voice.

Nathan was now looking at Haley, "Don't worry, I'm not going to rob you or nothing like that," Haley lifted her head and faced Nathan. They were both starring into each other's eyes. "You look familiar...Do I know you from some where?"

"Ugh," Haley shoke her head, "No I don't think we have met before."

Deep inside, Nathan knew those beautiful eyes from somewhere. He couldn't pin point it now, but eventually he knew he would. Nathan looked over at Haley as she fiddled with her bracelet. She was beautiful, he had to admit. Yes he has seen beautiful girls before, but Haley was something different. Most girls just threw themselves at him, but Haley. Haley's sweet and innocent, like an angel and that attracted Nathan to her.

Nathan noticed that the raining had stopped. "Ugh well the rain stopped, so I think we should head out before it starts again."

Haley nodded, "Yeah, okay."

Haley and Nathan both crawled out of the tunnel and made their way back to the path.

"Oh my god, Haley, what are you going to do now? You soo need to say something! For christ sake ask him out? This could be your one and only chance to see him again," Haley was thinking to her self. "Now come on now, take a deep breath, yeah that's good. Just ask him out...It's really not that hard. Damn it Hales! Why do you have to be such a chicken shit? Wait, why am I talking to my self? Well they say it's okay to talk to your self, but if you answer back then your nuts, well Hales you are in fact NUTS! Ooo he has a nice $$ and a nice bod..Life was never this good..."

"So where did you park?" Nathan asked.

Haley sort of jumped as she was pulled from her thoughts when Nathan spoke. "Actually I am walking home from Tric..so ugh, yeah."

"Well if you want, I can give you a ride home?" Nathan asked.

As they continued to walk in the same direction, "Okay, thanks. I really appreciate it..You never know what is out here this time of night."

Nathan nodded, "No problemo. Anyways, what school do you go to, well you are in school right?"

Haley laughed, "Yeah, I am a sophomore at Tree Hill High, you?"

"I'm a senior at Northeast-"

"Ooo, the snobby school, gotcha," Haley teased as she smiled.

Nathan thought for a second, "Yeah, it is kinda a snobby school but it's not entirely that bad."

"Ooo, I was just wondering where did you park your car?"

"I parked it on Riverside Avenue, which is around 3 miles from here," Nathan didn't say anything for a second, "It's going to be a long walk."

Haley nodded, "Yeppers."

Two hours laters, Nathan and Haley were sitting in front of Haley's house. For two hours, they talked, laughed and had a good time. They were already feeling comfortable with each other.

"So Nate, it's getting late. I think I'm gonna head in now. Thank's for the ride," Haley said as she was about to get out of the car.

Haley was thinking, "Come on Nate, just ask me out, DAMN IT! JUST ASK ME OUT! You know you want to..."

"Okay, well later then.." Haley opened the car and was about to get out of the car when he spoke, "Would you like to go out sometime?"

Haley said yes of course and then they exchanged numbers but not before setting their date. Haley opened her front door and before she closed the door, she stole another glance at Nathan. She quickly shut her door, and put her back up against the door. She smiled to her self and took a deep breath. Haley soon then heard a knock at her door. She answered the door to find none another than Nathan Scott.

"Hey.." Haley smiled.

"Hey right back at ya." Nathan smirked.
"Sooo..."

"Oh, you forgot your purse." Nathan handed her the purse.

Haley smiled again, "Ugh, thanks."

"Ugh, later again."

Haley nodded, "Bye," and with that Haley shut her door.

Haley soon ran up her stairs and kicked her shoes off. and quickly she took a shower and slipped into her PJ's and then dialed Brooke's number.

"Haley, where the hell have you been," Brooke answered the phone as she yelled into it. "I have been worried about you!"

Haley shreiked, "Brooke you won't believe the night I had!"

Nathan layed on his bed and thought about his night, unable to fall asleep. He asked Haley James out. Haley James. Nathan was feeling nervous already. Every girl he has been just wanted him because he was popular and the only reason he was with them, was to hit it and quit it. Haley was different though, she had to be. Nathan didn't want to hurt her, he just couldn't. Something about her was totally different from all the other girls.
