Chapter 5: That's Not How I Wanted It To Go

Peyton leaned back on her chair that faced her computer, sketch book in hand she adjusted the Sharpie marker in her hand and started to sketch some random doodles. A sigh fell from her lips as she thought about whether or not to turn on some music to fill the silent room. Peyton was never a fan of silence, it was just... so deafening, not to mention with the occurances of the last few weeks. Hiding her relationship with Haley was hard, especially when it came to hiding it from Lucas Scott - the one person that could always read right through her. Luckily, he seemed to be distracted, or at least he was loosing his touch with her.

Feeling arms appear on her shoulders and soon wrap around her neck lightly, she had to wait a few moments and contemplate whether it was the girl, or boy. This was getting out of control, since when did she have to second guess who would be embracing her and making her heart race like it was?

"I'm guessing this is where I say 'guess who'?" a voice laughed softly, unwrapping her arms and standing up straight, making herself a spot on the girl's desk beside her computer.

"Hey Hales." Peyton said with a smile appearing on her lips, glad it was Haley and not Lucas with his questions that he had been coming over with more and more often.

"Hey girlie, I would have given you a little somethin' somethin', but I wasn't sure if your webcam was turned on," she joked once more. "Then again, I'm pretty sure those creeps out there watching you would enjoy seeing it."

Peyton simply laughed as she shook her head, pulling her black band t-shirt above her head and throwing it on her webcam, making the screen turn blank. "Better?" she cocked an eyebrow towards the blonde.

"Not just yet," Haley stated, attempting a seductive tone, but not exactly passing. She hopped off the desk and held out both hands for Peyton to take so she could pull her up out of her chair.

Peyton accepted without thinking twice and found herself quite close to the other blonde. Feeling the girl's breath on her neck she didn't wait to crash her lips on Haley's.

Haley smirked into the kiss, "See, that's more like it. You know you can't resist me." she kidded simply and closed her eyes once more, letting her lips do the rest of the talking for her. The blonde wrapped her arms around the girl's neck.

"Ah-ah, I think that's the other way around." Peyton reached up to Haley's hair and moved the girl's hair away from her neck before leaning down and kissing her neck. Haley's breath caught in her throat, making it very obvious to Peyton before a moan fell from her lips as she leaned her head to one side letting Peyton have easier access to the skin on her neck.

Peyton continued to suck on her neck, waiting for a certain mark to appear on the girl's neck to tell her to stop but was soon interupted.

"Peyton!?" a voice called out. It was familiar, unfortunately, which meant he was going to come up the stairs. Haley moved out of Peyton's grasp quickly brushing her shirt with her hands over and over again as if she was trying to wipe off any sign of evidence that the boy that would soon be emerging into the bedroom's girlfriend had been kissing her neck. A sigh fell from Peyton's lips as she watched Haley carefully before sitting back down on the chair, making it look like Haley had just gotten there also.

"I'll go." the blonde decided as she forced a smile and walked towards the door.

"Hale-"

"Hey beautiful," Lucas said, emerging into the room thinking Haley was Peyton until realizing that Haley was actually the one closest to the bedroom door. "The beautiful was meant to be towards Peyton," he corrected, "Where are you going, loser?" he turned to Haley.

"Ouch, you know that hurts." Haley joked before shaking her head, "I'm going to go... find myself something to do while you two make out, just please don't take up the bedroom, I'm going to come back and want to sleep in this bedroom." she decided simply before hitting Lucas in the arm and then skipping out of the bedroom.

Peyton watched Haley's every move as she soon disappeared before getting a kiss on the lips by Lucas. "Hey." he broke into her thoughts.

"Good afternoon." she responded with a small smile that played on the side of her mouth.

"Oh, so it's good huh?" he asked his girlfriend curiously before receiving a simple nod.

"Hey, Haley!" Nathan called out, trying to catch up with the girl walking in front of him. He had been heading to her new found residence so he could talk to the girl that was now walking in front of him.

Turning around, Haley smiled seeing Nathan jogging up to her. "You know, you really shouldn't run Nathan, you don't want them to think you're desperate, trying to talk to your seperated wife." she half joked. To be honest, Haley hadn't really thought about the seperation a lot, Peyton had occupied her mind most moments of the day. She wasn't quite sure what was going to happen with her and Nathan, but she found it easier just not to think about it. Of course, it wouldn't get solved that way, but right now, Haley wasn't planning on getting rid of the drama in her life - it only caused more, usually worse.

"Ha-ha." Nathan said simply, "So, uhm, since I don't exactly have a tutor, or haven't had one in awhile - I'm kind of on the brink of failing most of my classes and I was wondering-"

"Need a tutor?" Haley finished as Nathan nodded his head and the blonde simply smiled softly as if saying yes without having to actually pronounce the words.

Haley adjusted the strap of her book bag on her shoulder as she soon began moving once again down the hallway of Tree Hill High School. Senior year had finally come and Haley couldn't wait to graduate. She was still awaiting her letters about College, hoping the one regarding Stanford would be an acceptance one, but she knew that if she wanted it badly enough, something would make it not happen. It was the history of dreams in Tree Hill, North Carolina.

Finding herself sitting down on the stairwell on the west wing of the school, near the English classrooms, she dropped her bag beside her and took out her notebook deciding to study for her history exam that she had on Friday. Why did teachers torture you with exams? It was just so... stressfull, okay, way to make your point there Haley but it was a test... and she didn't always enjoy history. Especially when it came to memorizing dates and putting events in chronological order. Who cares?

"Hales." Peyton said with a smile as she joined her roommate on the stairs. "What are you doing here?" she questioned curiously after placing her bag on her lap.

"Oh, you know, I just enjoy almost getting stepped on." the blonde said sarcastically with a shrug of her shoulders, looking up from her text book. "Studying... I didn't feel like going to the library, sometimes the quiet is just... too quiet." Peyton nodded in agreement.

"Well you should have come and me and Luke outside for lunch." she said, quite disappointed that she hadn't seen the girl there in all honesty. But then again, when did Haley enjoy being a third wheel... ever?

"Maybe next time." the blonde said with a nod of her head, though Haley had actually made herself busy during lunch, tutoring Nathan in the tutoring center.

"Hales." a voice presented a dark haired boy in front of the two girls, "Peyton." he added shortly after. "I've got the notes, ready to get started?"

"Great. I really don't see why you even had to ask the teacher for them, usually when he puts them up it means write them down." Haley said simply with a small smile and a shake of her head, "Peyton, I'm going to be helping Nathan out with some school stuff, so I probably won't be home for dinner since he's pretty behind-"

"Hey!"

"Sorry Nathan, but it's true." Haley pointed out with a small laugh as she stood up, collecting her books. She hadn't expected Nathan to return so fast, but she decided she could study later. It wasn't like she wanted to anyway. "So, Peyt, I know we had plans, but look at it this way - at least now you can go to dinner with Lucas now like you first had planned." the blonde pointed out.

Peyton forced a smile and nodded her head, "I guess it's a win-win, then." she forced out as Haley and Nathan retreated towards the tutoring center. Peyton should have expected it, and there wasn't anything she could do about it either. What was she supposed to say, 'Hey, that girl is the one I had plans to make out with later during dinner'? Yeah, that would go over well with most around school, especially Lucas. She could see his face, horror struck. A sigh fell from her lips and Peyton pulled out her cell phone.

"Hey Luke, still up for that dinner?"
