Say Anything (Else)
It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.
They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can erase the time
The two had spent it on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.

Haley walked through the doors of Tree Hill High, with Brooke at her side, when she looked up, she felt like everyone was looking at her. Brooke nudged her.

"Great! Isn't it?" She asked smiling. Haley shrugged unsure.

"Sure." She forced a smile back. "I'm going to first period. Later Brooke." Brooke smiled and nodded, as she walked to her first class.

Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go.
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.

"Pss." Nora called out.

"What?" Haley turned, laughing slightly.

"You look... different... you look hot. You trying to get Mouth?" She smirked, Nora was one of Haley's good friends, who was also classified as a 'geek'.

"Ha! No. Not Mouth. Not anyone... this is just for me." She smiled back, LIE. Nora shruged. "Besides, I heard he likes you." Nora's eye's widened with delight.

"Really! Cool!" She smiled widely, Haley let out a laugh and nodded.

"Haley?" Haley looked up to see Nathan staring at her.

"Uh. Hey." She said quietly, giving a shy smile.

"You look... different then when I saw you yesterday... good different, you look good." He told her smirking. Haley nodded.

"Thanks."

"So, I'll see you at Lunch, your sitting with us, right?" He asked smiling. Haley noddd again.

"Yeah, definitely."

"Alright see you then." He told her, walking to the back of the class and sitting next to his friend Tim Smith, Tim was a class clown, pretended all the girls loved him. When in reality, no girl would come as close to even touch him.

"Whoa, Haley, Nathan Scott, like, JUST talked to you! He is soo hot! And your sitting at his table? Whoa Hales. Nice." Nora grinned. Haley was about to respond when the shouting of the teacher caused her to stop.

"Since It's the first day, to try to learn your names better, I made seating charts." The class groaned, and she read all the seats. This was science class, so instead of the desks, they had a black table, with two to each table. Haley and Nathan were assigned next to them, Behind them was Tyler, another one of Nathan's friends, with Peyton Sawyer, and Behind them was Tim and Nora.

"Nathan! Your so far away!" Peyton called out. Tim scoffed.

"Lucky you guys, I have to sit with the biggest geek like ever." He cursed, Nora sighed and looked down. Haley had the urge to look back and see if her friend was okay, but the teacher once again disturbed it, and she just turned and gave Nora a hopeful smile.

Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say...

Classes flew by before Haley knew it, she was walking towards Nathan's lunch table, Brooke turned and grinned. Haley laughed slightly and took a seat.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Tim asked rudely. "Aren't you the tutor girl person...?" Haley went to speak, but Brooke beat her to it.

"Yeah, she is, She's also my cousin, stop being an asshole." She snapped. Haley smiled, and Brooke winked. Nathan turned to Tim.

"Shh man... She's cool now." He mumbled, and Tim looked at her, and shrugged, taking a seat next to Her. Just then Tyler walked in.

"Hey guys." He greeted, looking at Brooke he smiled. "Hey..."

"Brooke. My names Brooke." She smiled, Tyler nodded.

"You should come hang out with us after school at Nate's place." He told her. Brooke smiled.

"Can I bring Haley?" She asked smiling.

"Sure whatever, as long as you bring this chick too." He grinned, looking at Haley.

"That is Haley..." Brooke told him. Tyler looked at her confused.

"Oh. Are you new Haley?" He asked. Haley looked at him appalled.

"No. I'm not. I've lived in Tree Hill my whole life." She told him. Nathan watched Tyler as he was about to add salt to her open wound.

"Anyway, yeah you guys should come." Nathan cut in. The girls both nodded, smiling at eachother.

"Homecoming is coming up. You got a date man?" Tyler asked Tim, Tim glared.

"No... I wish though." He sighed. Brooke looked up.

"I'll go with you." She called out. Tim looked at her surprised.

"Really?" He smiled.

"No!" She shot back. Brooke smiled to her self, that should get him back for being mean to Haley.

"Aw. Alright." Tim replied, taking a bite of his sandwhich.

Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go.
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies -
The only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

"I'll find someone." Tyler said.

"Me too!" Tim told him, Tyler smirked.

"Most likely, you won't man." He laughed. Tim shrugged.

Bell Rings, It's been a while

"So we'll see you girls later." Tyler called out as the cousins walked away.

"Yeah Later!" Brooke called out.

Back at Haley's House

Just say you left me like you could.
Although you said you never would.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say you left me like you could.

"So, I'm new to this... do we change before going to his house, or keep the same clothes on...?" Haley asked confused, Brooke shrugged.

"I'd keep the same things on, but you might want to put a bathing suit on under it. A Bikini, you do have one... right?" She asked hopefully. Haley looked down.

"No... I've never felt comfortable with wearing those." She told her.

"If you wanna win Nathan, a one piece won't do it, I'll let you use one of mine." She smiled, running to her back, pulling out a small black bikini and tossing it to Haley. She looked at the small piece of material and shrugged. This should be intresting.

Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down
Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
The only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

"Go put it on! We're late. Let's go James!" Brooke shouted, snapping Haley out of her thoughs, she nodded and headed to the bathroom.

Little did she know this night... would take away her innocence

You know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.
