Chapter 9

It was now the night of Haley's date and she has never been so excited but yet she was also very nervous. Brooke had come over that day to her help figure out what to wear. Brooke is staying the night, so when Haley got home from her date, Haley could tell her how it went. Her outfit was layed out on her bed. Haley's outfit consist of: a light pink dressy shirt, some faded jean capri pants, and light pink, Old Navy flip flops that she just bought the other day that matches her shirt.

Haley had just gotten out of the shower and is now sitting on her toilet as Brooke blow dryed her hair. Tonight was her first actual real date. She was hoping for the typical, romantic date where they kiss at the door after the date was over. She wanted her foot to that pop as they kissed. You could tell that Haley was old fashioned but she wanted her date to be dinner and a movie. Haley just smiled to her self as she thought about Nathan.

As Brooke continued to blow dry Haley's hair, "Hales?"

"Huh?"

"What are you thinking about or should I say whom are you thinking about?"

Brooke of course already knew what she was thinking.

Haley exhaled, "Nathan of course...Ugh! My stomach is filled with a million butterflies, I swear." Haley slightly laughed.

Brooke had just got done blow drying her hair and now was brushing it. "Just relax Hales. Tonight is going to be perfect," Haley turned to face Brooke, Brooke

smiled, "I promise."

Haley smiled back at her, "Thanks B, I just needed reassurance," Haley paused, "Brooke I am glad that you are my best friend. You are always there for me no matter what and I am thankful for that. Without you...I know that I couldn't have gone through with some of the things that I have gone through."

"Aww Hales! Don't make me cry! I feel the same way about you too...Remember that time when we both went on that roller coaster that went upside now and we both were terrified?" Brooke said as she pictured it.

Haley laughed, "That was our first time going on one and the only reason we went on it was because we lost that stupid bet with Lucas and Jake!"

Brooke nodded, "Ooo and the first loop-d-loop, yo' $$ started hyperventilating on the ride and Lucas and Jake was behind us on the ride laughing."

Haley rolled her eyes, "Ugh that was so embarrassing! When I got off, you were the one comforting me."

"Yeah I remember," Brooke laughed, "Good times...Good times."

"Yeah! At my expense!"

"And what's wrong with that?" Brooke asked as she laughed, Haley started to laugh as well.

"Okay change of subject...How should I do my hair?" Haley asked.

Brooke scoffed, "Uh yeah, you mean how should I do your hair?" Haley nodded, "I was thinking that the top should be pinned back just a lil bit and the rest down in lose curls. You like that idea?" Haley was about to say something when Brooke continued, "Yeah it doesn't matter, because that's how I am doing it rather you like or not. Now turn around Hales." Brooke said with a laugh.

Haley rolled her eyes as she did what she was told, "Yes Bossy."

"That's Miss Bossy and look up." Brooke said as she began to do Haley's hair.

After Brooke did Haley's hair and make up, Haley went and got dressed. Tonight was going to be something special, she hoped so anyways...

Haley just opened the bathroom door and stepped out, "Well, how do I look?"

Brooke looked up at Haley and then jumped up towards her. "Aww..My little girl is growing up," Brooke said sarcastically as Haley just glared at her. "You look freakin' hot girl!"

Haley cracked a smile, "Thanks...I just don't want Nathan to say that. I want him to tell me that I am beautiful instead of hot."

Brooke and Haley joined hands, "Don't worry Hales, tonight will be perfect...And if it isn't, I will simply just kill him."

The girls laughed as Haley's mom yelled up the stairs, "Hales! Your date is here!"

Haley smiled, "Wish me luck!" Haley said as she took one last look at her self in the mirror and then grabbed her purse. She paused at the door after she opened it.

"Go get 'em tiger," Brooke said as she winked at Haley and then gave her one last reassuring smile before Haley closed the door.

Haley paused before walking down her stairs. As she made her way down the stairs, she looked at the living room. Haley's parents were off doing something else, but Nathan was standing up with a dozen of red rose's in his head. He was wearing jean polo shorts with a striped baby blue and white polo shirt. Nathan was just smiling at Haley...He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. Haley stopped at the end of the stairs.

"Hey," Haley said.

"Ugh...You look beau-beautiful." Nathan said as he stuttered.

Haley smiled...He called her beautiful instead of hot, just like she hoped. "That has to be a sign!" Haley thought.

"Oh and I bought you flowers...I wasn't sure what kind to get you so I figured roses had to be a safe bet." Nathan handed the flowers to Haley as she walked up to him.

"Thanks, and yeah, roses are my favorite...Here just let me go put these in a vase." Nathan nodded she went into the kitchen.

What only seemed like seconds, Haley walked back into the living room, "Are you ready?" Nathan nodded as he slipped his hand around Haley's waist and guided her outside to his car. He opened the door for her and then when she was in, he closed the door for her. Seconds later Nathan and Haley were off to their date.

Inside the house, Brooke had jut changed into her pajamas and has plopped her self onto the bed. She reached for her phone and dialed Jake's number.

"Hello?" Jake said as he answered the phone.

"Jake," Brooke began, "There is something that I need to tell you."
