I was changed.
To clarify, Nathan and Lucas are NOT related, they are just enemies now, and you will find out why soon. Nathan is Dan and Deb's son, and Lucas is the son of Karen Roe, and is in no blood relation to the Scotts
Read and Review! Sorry for such a short chapter, I wrote it to set up for what is going to happen. There is a slight twist at the end of the chapter, enjoy!
Haley arrived back at her house after running out of the tutoring center earlier that afternoon; good thing her parents were away visiting her sister Quinn because all she wanted was to be alone. 'How could I have been so stupid,' she thought her herself. 'I almost kissed Nathan Scott. Lucas would have killed me if he ever found out. He'd been so hard-pressed on me never interacting with Nathan since I arrived home from my annual weeklong visit to my aunt's last summer. I've always wondered what happened, but he changes the subject every time.'
Haley was pulled out of her thoughts as her cell phone began to ring, she was considering not answering it, but it could be Lucas and she hadn't spoken with him in the past two days. "Hello," she answered.
"Uh, Haley, it's Nathan."
"Oh, hey. Well, I'm kind of busy so I can't talk right now, so uh, bye," Haley replied.
"Wait, don't hang up. Why did you leave the tutoring center so quickly? From our conversation I thought we were heading in the right direction, and you walking out doesn't exactly seem that way."
Haley sighed, "Look Nathan it's complicated, just please, leave me alone. I'll see you at tutoring on Friday," and with that she hung up the phone before letting him breathe another word.
Two seconds later her phone rang again, 'Can't this kid take a hint' she thought, rolling her eyes as she picked up her cell, "Look Nathan, I said –"
"Hales?"
"Oh, hey Lucas," Haley replied, her face becoming red, "what's up?"
"I guess I should be asking you the same thing," he replied. "Why did you think I was Nathan? I mean, he has no reason to call your phone right?"
"Yea, Luke, sorry. He uh, I thought he was calling for tutoring. To see if we were still on for Friday after school," she said, lying through her teeth. She knew she had to tell Lucas about her feelings for Nathan sooner or later, but she was hoping for later rather than sooner, because she knew for a fact that Lucas would not be a happy camper.
"Oh okay, you know I still don't like this whole tutoring gig. That kid is trouble Haley."
"I know Lucas, you tell me time and time again. It's just tutoring; don't worry. He really needs it, and I'm the best tutor in school."
"Yea I guess. You're just lucky I trust you to use your common sense buddy," Lucas replied. "Well anyway, I almost forgot why I called. Do you want to go out for breakfast tomorrow morning? I feel like we haven't seen each other in forever and we have study tomorrow so we don't have to be in till second period."
"Yea Luke that'd be great. I have something I need to talk to you about anyway."
"Oh what it is it?" he questioned.
"Nothing that important, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye Hales," Lucas replied before hanging up. After closing her phone, Haley dropped back and landed on the numerous pillows on her bed, letting out a big sigh. 'I guess tomorrow's as good a day as ever,' she thought. 'I need to tell Lucas about my feelings for Nathan, I mean he's my best friend; but first I need to find out why he hates him so much, they used to be best friends.'
Review please! Leave the good, the bad, the happy, the sad.
