"So, how was it?" Brooke said walking up to Haley the following Monday at school.

"Brooke! What are you doing." She whispered harshly.

"We just wanna know how your date went Hales." Peyton said leaning against the lockers.

"But were in school!"

"Wow, you are smart Tutorgirl." Brooke said laughing, obviously confused.

"What's wrong with you today Haley. OMG! You slept with him! Way to go girl!" Peyton said laughing along with Brooke.

"PEYTON! 1. No I didn't, 2. I'm a tutor you guys are cheerleaders. We don't socialize in school. REMEMBER!"

"Big deal. We set the crowds. Stick with us and no one will make fun of you again." Broke said linking arms with both girls while walking down the hall.

"Brooke! Peyton! What are you doing with her?" Theresa said walking up to them, few cheerleaders in tow.

"Guess again Brooke." Haley whispered already feeling out of place.

"Walking to class. Duh! And "her" name is Haley. Get it, got, it good. P. Sawyer, Tutorgirl, lets go home so we can talk about your date."

"I don't know Brooke…"

"See, Tutorgirl knows her place. At the bottom of the food chain. Run off to class now." She said laughing with the other girls. Brooke and Peyton were un-amused.

"Leave her alone Theresa." Peyton said getting really angry. Not only at them but also at the fact that's how she and Brooke had acted towards Haley before.

"Aw, poor Tutorgirl. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." She said as she knocked her books on the floor. "Oops. You're bad. Listen Tutorgirl! Your nothing but a…"

"A what Theresa." Nathan said walking up to them, bending down to get Haley's books. He handed them to her while giving her a smile.

"Good Nathan. You're here. Talk some sense into these two. They're hanging out with her. She scum, a waste of skin. She's nothing but…"

"What? What Theresa? You better watch what you say though. Cause you see I went out with "her" and were going out again."

Him saying this made her shut up, Brooke squeal, Peyton clap and Haley drop her jaw.

"We…were…what?"

"You're dating her!"

"She has a name. It's HALEY!"

"Shut up Brooke! You're the one who made up the name Tutorgirl. Your even more of a bitch to her then me."

"Come on Brooke, Haley. Let's go." Peyton said looking at the two girls. Haley looked like she had tears in her eyes. Obviously hurt at Theresa's word. And Brooke was looking down at her shoes upset, obviously thinking the same thing she did earlier.

"Yeah let's go. See ya at home Nate."

"That's good. Run. First you fight her battles. Now you have to take her home because the poor baby is going to cry. Boo-Hoo!"

This pissed Brooke off even more. She walked up to Theresa and punched her in the nose.

"Oops. Your bad." She said laughing, mocking the girl who was now in tears on the floor.

"Miss. Davis! Principals office now!" A teacher said walking up to the huge crowd of students who had been standing there watching what was happening.

"B…Bu…But…she…"

"NOW! Miss. Davis."

"Peyt. Let me take Hales home." Nathan said walking up to the fragile girl, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, leading her to his car.

JAMES RESIDENCE

"Do you wanna come in Nathan? I owe you lunch." She said climbing out of the car giving him a small smile.

"Umm…yeah sure."

"Look Nathan. I don't want your pity." She said walking into the kitchen.

"Good. Cause your not getting it." He said following, her giving her the famous Davis smirk.

"Well thanks anyways."

"For what?" he asked as he sat down at the island, pulling her down on his lap.

"Everything. Today…. Last night." She smiled remembering there date.

Flashback

"I hate surprises"

"I've noticed. You've said so at least 30 times since we've left." Nathan said laughing shaking his head.

"Shut up." She said hitting his arm. "It's supposed to make you want to tell me where were going!"

"Haha. Too bad. OK. Were here. Close your eyes."

"Naaaaathan…"

"Haaaaaley." He said mocking her, which made her pout. "Come on do it."

She closed her eyes as he took her hand and lead her down the beach. As she opened them she found a little picnic set up with two candles on a beach blanket.

"OMG! Nathan, its perfect." She said hugging him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks. I…uh…had a little help with the idea. Sit down."
As they ate they got the chance to get to know each other. And had a great time enjoying each other's company under the stars. It was perfect. As they finished up the decided to take a walk hand in hand on the docks.

"And for dessert." He said leading her to a picnic table. "CRACKERJACKS!"

"Aww. Nate you're so romantic." She said laughing.

"Shush. Or you wont get any." He added acting like a 5 year old.

"Ew…Nathan get your hand out of there. I don't think I want any, anymore." She said laughing even harder. Just then he grabbed her wrist and slipped on the bracelet form the box.

"Don't say I never gave you anything."
