Chapter 7- Definantly Not an Old Guy

CARNIVAL

Me, Nathan, Lucas, and Brooke all walked into the carnival together. "Nate," I said turning to him, "I don't know about this. I mean my ex is here and my sister so….."

"Your sister's here?" he asks. 'Huh? Why would he care?'

"Yeah! She should be…...why?" I say this looking at Brooke and Lucas. They both just shrug their shoulders. 'Great help guys.'

"Well you can't hate me or Lucas for that matter," I look over at Lucas at that moment and he just looks at me all innocent. 'Ha-Ha, yeah right Luke innocent. Okay, I'll believe that one when me and Nathan get together.' "But Luke was kinda suspicious because you always talk about your sister—"

"Excuse me," Lucas says disrupting the conversation, "But I believe you were also suspicious."

"Just continue, Nate." I say wanting to know why they were talking about my sister, er, me.

"Right! So, Luke decided to look in your suitcase and he found a picture of your sister, and Idon'tknowIkindalikeher." He finished off fast but I could still make out what he was saying. 'Oh my gosh, Nathan likes me! Oh my gosh! I gotta tell Brooke…..oh wait she's right here! Ha!'

Brooke actually shrieked when he said that so Nathan looked over at her funny. "Oh, I'm just happy that's all. I mean, I talked to her a few times on the phone and I think she's cool!" I sigh in relief. 'Nice cover, Tigger.' I mentally take note to thank her later.

I was about to tell Nathan that he could meet my sister, I mean me, 'Damn it!' when, of all people, Peyton Sawyer comes by. But strangely she walks passed Nathan and says to me, "I'm working at the kissing booth. Come by later." She gives me a nod and walks away.

'Okay, ewwwwww! She likes me! Oh my gosh! Ew! Please tell me that Nathan did not think she was talking to me…. Even though it was so obvious! Ew!'

I slowly look over at Nathan, but when I look over at where he was standing he was no longer there. I look around and see Nathan slowly going in the same direction as Peyton. 'Guess he thought her comment was directed towards him. I actually kinda wish it was! Vomit!'

"Hey Nate!" I called out, "Where you going?"

He chuckles and starts walking backwards, "The kissing booth, man!" and then walks away.

I turn around and give a death glare towards Lucas. "What?" he says, "Hales, it was this morning before we left, when you and Brooke were out getting last minute snacks for the road trip out here, and I knew that it was you." I keep glaring at him. He actually looks kind of afraid of me.

When Brooke notices Lucas getting frightened she steps in and says, "You know, tutor girl, he kinda did help you out a little bit."

I'm shocked. "What? How? Tigger, your boyfriend went through my stuff and could have accidentally dropped something that Nathan can't see, and Nathan could have. Then, my whole plan would have been ruined!" 'Wow! I said all that in one breath! Nice!'

"No Haley," Lucas started, "I helped you because he likes you now!" He smiles at me as if he just won a prize of some sort. But then again, so am I. My smile is probably bigger. I jump on Lucas giving him the biggest hug while saying over and over, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Your welcome! Now get off me. I can't be seen hugging a guy!" I quickly jump back off of him and give him a smile. Then, I tell them that I'm gonna go change and to go get Nate so he can meet me. Well the real me, as in Haley.

I go to the nearest porter potty and change quickly into the amazing red dress Brooke let me borrow. 'Yet another thing to thank her for. I love Brooke.' Of course, I had a little trouble getting dressed and making sure that I looked my best for Nathan considering I had a minimum of space.

I finish up my cover up and walk outside. It's finally time to meet Nathan as Haley James. 'I can't wait!' But of course something was standing in my way.

Nathan's POV

'Okay, this is my chance to finally kiss Peyton. Breathe, man. Make sure to breathe.' I walk over to the kissing booth. Holy crap is that a long line. 'Guess I'm not the only guy that wants to kiss her.'

I finally get up the courage to go into the line when I hear Lucas calling me from behind. I turn around and see him sprinting up to me. 'What the hell? What could be so important that he has to ruin my chances of going and kissing the girl who has haunted my dreams for the passed 3 ½ years.'

"Man," he starts to say when he reaches me. "You gotta come with me!" He starts to pull me a way but I stop him.

"Wait! Man, why do I have to come with you?" I get closer to him so no one else can hear what I'm about to say, "I'm finally gonna kiss Peyton."

"But, but." Lucas stutters.

"No man! Now come with me, so I don't feel stupid."

"You are stupid if you stay here." Lucas mumbles.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"Nothing man." He lets out a sigh. "Let's go get you that dream kiss with your dream girl." I smile and pat him on the back and go on my way to the line. 'Yes! It got shorter. Only about….' I check my watch. '5 minutes till I get that kiss.'

Haley's POV

"Hales?"

"Justin? What do you want?" I try my best to get away but he grabs my shoulders and pulls me so I'm right in front of him.

"I want you! Come on, baby, our relationship can't end because of a stupid basketball fight. Just give me 5 seconds."

I nod. I hold up my hand in front of his face and start counting down from 5 seconds. "Ok, first off it wasn't just a stupid basketball fight….." I get down to just my thumb finger and put it down. "And you're a jerk." I look at my hand, wiggling my fingers and look at it as if in shock. "Whoa! Look at that! 5 seconds is up!" And then I do what I've wanted to do for the longest time……… I slap him clear across the face.

I walk away. I don't run because I mean its Justin. What's he gonna do? But I probably shouldn't have walked in that direction. Because I walked right into my……

"Hello Sweetie." MOTHER! Ugh!

"Hi Mom!" I say cheerfully, hugging her and pulling back before she can get too attached.

"Honey where's your brother?"

"Oh yeah! He came, he just um, saw Nikki. And they broke up so he didn't wanna start anything at your carnival so….. He figured it would just be best if he went back to his dorm." 'Wow! Nice! When in danger think of Nikki!'

"Well that was nice of him! Speaking of exes though…." 'Oh, no! Mom, don't say it.' "Have you ran into Justin yet?"

"Yes Mom!"

"And?" 'Man she's just not gonna let this go!'

"And we are NOT getting back together."

"Ugh…..why do you have to be so stubborn?"

"I am not being stubborn. Anyways, isn't there something I need to do because I remember you telling me that I needed to work some booth?"

"Oh Yes!" 'Man she has the weirdest mood swings.' "Your shift for the kissing booth is in 5 minutes. Now get going."

"Okay whatever!" I mutter as I walk away towards the kissing booth.

When I get there the poor girl that was working before me was being tortured to kiss an old dude. 'Okay wow! Is this dude ever gonna let her go? Okay, I gotta stop this I can't let her go on any longer,' so I decide to tap her shoulder. The old guy reluctantly lets go and she jumps up as fast as possible. I immediately recognize her as none other then the famous Peyton Sawyer.

"Thank you! And watch out for old guys like these." She whispers as she walks off the stage for the booth. I chuckle, and then finally look up to see if my next victim was an even older guy. When I looked up I had to say it, "Nope definantly not an old guy!" It was of course the "oh so hott" Nathan Scott.

Haley (thinking): Holy shit! I'm going to have to kiss Nathan! This isn't gonna be awkward at all when I have to live with him in our small little room. What am I thinking of course it is gonna be awkward because as soon as his lips touch mine I can guarantee myself that I will fall in love with him……not that I haven't already!

Nathan (thinking): Damn! Peyton who? That girl is hott! Wait! Where have I seen her before? Oh my gosh, is that Jake's sister? No wonder Lucas said that we would make a cute couple. I mean she looked cute in the picture, especially in that basketball uniform, but she's gorgeous in person. And she looks so sweet and nice. I so want to get to know this girl. And this seems to be the only chance. Plus, I get to kiss her!

Nathan slowly walked over to me so only we could hear what the other was saying. "Hi!" I say shyly smiling at him. "I'm Haley."

"Haley, I'm Nathan."

"I know." I whisper.

I could feel his hot breath on my neck as he spoke to me. "Are you Jake's sister?"

"If I say yes, would it matter?"

"No!" He breathes out one more time before he kisses me. With all the passion I have in me, I kiss him back.

Haley (thinking): 'This is the most amazing kiss. I've fallen in love. I can totally make him forget about Peyton. I can tell from this kiss that there is something between us!'

Nathan (thinking): 'Okay! Wow! I can't even think! This girl is amazing! And "Haley" what a beautiful name! But I feel kind of awkward standing up here, in front of everyone, making out with a girl I knew all of 5 seconds. Plus, my mom could see.'

Nathan slowly pulls away from our kiss and we both say at the same time. "Wow!" And he gives me such a genuine smile. I'm surprised I didn't go totally weak at the knees or else I would have fallen off the stage.

We keep staring at each other till some kid rudely interrupts. "You know, there's a hotel down the street. Come on, man!"

Nathan harshly says to the boy, "Will you just give us a second." He turns back to me and smiles. "Hey! Do you wanna get out of here?" He winks at me. 'Oh my gosh! He's gonna make it so hard to say no!'

"I'm sorry. I can't." I could automatically see the disappointment in his eyes. "I mean I would love to but I have to stay and work the booth."

"But you could always come back later after practicing with me." He says suggestively. 'Ugh! Why does he have to be so hot and nice?'

"I'm sorry!" I whisper. He begins to turn around and walk away, but then something catches my eye. 'More like someone, Hales.' I ignore my brain for the first time ever because all I want is to be with Nathan. I know it seems sudden, but I didn't even feel this way about Justin and we went out for over a year.

"Nathan, wait!" I walk up to him and whisper something in his ear. He smiles and walks away. 'Now time to go get that someone that I needed.' I walk off the stage telling everyone that I would be back in 5 minutes. I walk as quickly as possible up to the only person that could help me.

"Katie!"

"Hales? Oh my gosh! Where have you been?" She comes up to me for a quick hug.

I pull away and say quickly, "I need you to do me a favor."

"Okay, sure anything!"

"Can you please work the kissing booth for me? I just met this amazing guy and he kind of wants to get to know me, but I need someone to cover for me."

She pats me on the back and says, "I got your back, Haley! Go have some fun!"

I start backing up while saying, "Thank you so much, Kate! I so owe you!"

"Yeah you do!" she says shouting after me.

Now its time to go get the guy of my dreams!
