AN: Thanks for all the replies. I write 'em as quick as I can. Here's Chapter 10.
Chapter 10 – I Thought You Wanted Me
Nathan walked into school that morning, hanging his head. In his mind, he was smiling. He had kissed Haley JAMES! While, at the same time, he frowned; did she like it? Or did she think he was a moron? AT this time, he passed her in her crowd and tapped her on the shoulder.
Haley: Yes?
Nate: Can I have a word with you?
Haley: Sure
They went into a secret corner.
Nathan: Look, I just want to know about the kiss, like, what did you think?
Nathan thinking: Considering, you frenched me back.
Haley's POV
Oh, god, I love it Nate, I just can't tell you that. I love Dean and things are going good but, how I want to be with you. But, I just can't right now.
Haley: I just don't get how you could do this to Hope,
Nathan: I didn't we broke up.
Haley: Oh, well, umm, not that I'm gonna hold this against you, but it can never happen again. I'm with Dean, and I love him. Sorry.
Nathan smiled and nodded, understanding. Then, Haley pulled him into a hug.
Nate: It's ok, I get it.
She smiled and nodded, then went to join her group again. Nathan just stood there, watching her. Then, Dean came up behind her, HIS Rose and wrapped his arms around her, as she smiled up at him. How Nathan had imagined that lucky guy being him. But, it wasn't and he just had to deal with that. A single tear fell form his eye.
Nathan Whispering: I thought you wanted me?
AN: Sorry guys, this was short but, it was just a builder chapter. All the real drama is yet to come. Make sure you don't forget to read CHAPTER 11 when it comes out. This is the big NALEY chapter! Yes guys, chapter ELEVEN, NALEY are TOGETHER!
