Shes the Man

Chapter 9- That's Cool

When I got to the dorms, I quickly stopped at Brooke's to let her know everything that happened and to give her all the stuff back. Then, I went back to mine and Nathan's room. When I walked in, he was sleeping quietly on his bed. 'Aww! He looks so cute sleeping! I'm gonna wake him up!' So I slam the door really loudly and he wakes up almost immediately. You should have seen his face it was amazing.

He sat up a little bit on his bed and casually said, "Hey man what's up? Where'd you go during the carnival?"

"Oh yeah!" I started to say sitting on my own bed, "Ran into the psycho ex. Didn't want to start any fight."

"Ha-ha! Yeah! I wish I could say the same thing!"

I figured I could start a conversation about 'us', as in Haley and Nathan. "Why? What happened?"

"I kind of got into it with your sister's ex today."

"Wait? Why?" 'Hey! I'm trying to play dumb! I mean obviously I know what happened!'

"Well! He, uh, kinda," 'Aw, he's nervous to tell her brother, that's so cute! I'm obviously not gonna get mad at, but I wouldn't say the same for Jake if he was hearing this! Ha-ha, "Um, saw us making out on the Ferris Wheel!" He winced thinking I was gonna, like, beat him up or something!

"Wait? You kissed her?"

"Yeah. Man, I hope that all right. I mean, it was for charity."

"Um, no, man its fine. If you wanna kiss her you kiss her."

"Um, oookay."

"So," I start leaning forward towards him, "Do you like her?"

"Dude, do we have to talk about this?" He asks leaning back against the headboard of his bed. "I mean she's your sister….it's a little weird!"

"Yeah! But, still if you like her, then, I don't know maybe you should ask her out."

"Well, I mean. Yeah! I mean," He's so nervous. "We're kind of already going out now."

"Oh, well that's cool!"

"Wait!" He says shocked. "You're okay with that?"

"Well, yeah. I mean you like her so…you don't like Peyton anymore do you?"

"Oh! No! I mean of course I still have feelings for her because I've liked her for so long." I was starting to get pissed. 'I mean, hearing your boyfriend saying he has feelings for some one else.' "But, Haley. She just, is amazing. I haven't stopped thinking about her since the carnival."

I was getting really tired of talking about this so I decided to tell him that it was time to go to bed. "Well, Nate. I'm gonna go to bed!"

"Yeah man!" he says while starting to lie back down. "Oh! And don't forget we're going to the gym tomorrow at 3!"

"Right!" And that was the end of the day. Time to dream about my boyfriend whose sleeping right next to me.

At the Gym

We were lifting weights. Actually more like Nathan was lifting weights. But, hey I was cheering him on? I don't know.

He stopped all of a sudden and looked at me. "So, have you talked to Haley at all today?"

"Uh, yeah! She's doing great. Why?"

"What? Man, am I not allowed to ask about my girlfriend?" That makes me smile.

"Yeah! Yeah! Whatever!"

"James!"

I look over and here comes Coach Whitey. "Yeah coach?" I say and get up to face him.

He throws a jersey and me and says, "You're playing first string at the Cornwell game. You beat out Smith. Be ready!"

I look at him in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"No, I was joking!" he says sarcastically and walks away.

"Dude that's fantastic!"

"I know and I owe it all to you!"

"Hey man, no problem! Just, tell your sister to call me!" He goes back to his weights and begins to 'pump some more iron' (lol)

I'm a Barbie girl

In a Barbie world

"That would be my sister…." I trail off, picking up my phone.

"Hey man!" Nathan says, standing up and following me. "Can I talk to her?"

'Crap, he wants to talk to me. Cover!' "Actually, man! No!"

"What?" he says looking upset.

"Well, family crisis! You know how it is."

"Riiight!" And with that he walks away.

NO LONGER HALEY'S POV

Peyton was also in the gym that day with her friend, Monique. She had seen Jake and Nathan lifting weights.

She turns to her friend and says, "Isn't he cute?"

"Well yeah!" Monique replies, "Nathan is always cute."

"No, not Nathan. Jake."

"Jake?"

"Yeah! I mean he's not like most guys! He's not masculine or sexy! He's more fragile and cute!"

"Well, Peyt, you can have any guy you want. Just tell him how you feel. Go for it!"

"You know," Peyton starts with a smile, "You're right! I'm just gonna go up to him tonight and kiss him and tell him how I really feel!"

She gets off the machine she was on and walks away thinking, 'No more playing around! Next time I see Jake, I'm telling him how I feel!'
