CH 2:
Months Later…
"Peyton! I'm going on a date tonight. Guess with who?" Haley asked her while jumping on Peyton's bed. Peyton was currently listening to music.
"Who?" she asked looking at Haley.
"Lance Young" Haley sang.
"What?" Peyton asked surprised.
"Yeah. You know him. He's on the football team. Omg, I cant believe I'm going to go out with a football player! Let me borrow some of your clothes" Haley said, walking over to Peyton's closet. Peyton was still in shock. She didn't want to tell Haley, but she liked Lance, but she recently seen them flirt, so she kept it to herself.
"Peyton? Are you listening?" Haley asked, turning around, looking at Peyton.
"Of course I am. Here I have the perfect outfit for your date" Peyton, lifting herself up, while hiding her emotions. She walked over to her closet and handed Haley some light jeans with a black, with yellow heart tank top.
"It's perfect! Thanks Peyt!" she cheered hugging Peyton. Peyton hugged her back, thinking this was the best for the them, if she didn't say anything.
Two Weeks Later…
Ever since the date between Haley and Lance, they have become the new 'it' couple in the middle school. The cheerleader and football player, what more to say. Because of this, Haley had become more popular, not that she wasn't before, but dating Lance, had it privileges. Since they been dating, Peyton has seen less of Haley. She hated both of them going out. The last 2 weeks have been hell for her. Especially because Lance was in 4 of her classes, and all he wanted to talk about is Haley. She loved her best friend, but she was jealous of her, for snatching the guy she's been crushing on forever. It was Friday night, usually those nights were movie nights, Haley and Peyton hang out and sleep over at each others house. It was Peyton's night to host. Meanwhile she was getting ready to take out the ice cream and set out the movies.
"Hey Peyton" Haley said, walking into the leaving room.
"Hey Haley, well what movie you up for?" Peyton asked, smiling, while lifting up the movies.
"Yeah, about that. I was wondering if we could cancel, or you know what? I could come later, like at night. Please don't hate me" Haley said smiling weakly. Peyton frowned.
"Why? We always have our movie nights on Friday" she said disappointed.
"I know, but Lance- Peyton cut he off.
"Lance, Lance, Lance. I'm tired of hearing his name. What about me, you never have time for me no more!" Peyton shouted. Haley looked hurt.
"That's not true" Haley weakly said.
"Yes it is! Ever since you been going out with pretty boy, you never have time for me" Peyton said broken. Haley looked at Peyton, feeling the intense feeling of guilt.
"I'm sorry Peyton. It's just I been really busy. I didn't mean to ignore you. I would never do that" Haley said.
"Still, you should make time for me. At least 10 minutes a day. Instead of acting like a love sick puppy behind his every move!" Peyton yelled, immediately regretting her words. Haley looked at her shocked.
"Haley, that's not what I meant" Peyton said grabbing Haley's arm. Haley shook it off.
"No, that's exactly what you meant. I'm so sorry if I have a life and a boyfriend and you don't" Haley spat, now immediately regretting what she had said. Peyton laughed bitterly.
"Your right, but if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't of met Lance. I'm the one that…" she stopped talking realizing what she just said.
"What Peyton? What? That you saw him first and liked him? You like him don't you?" Haley asked crossing her arms. Peyton stood still looking at the floor.
"I cant believe you" Haley said storming out of the room. Peyton looked up and began to cry, walking towards her bed, hugging her bear.
Its been an hour, since there fight. Haley was home, getting ready for her date with Lance. She decided to wear something different. She looked at herself in the mirror, she looked nice, but she couldn't help but think of Peyton.
Why didn't she tell me? She likes Lance and kept it a secret, from me, all this time! Haley thought to herself.
"Haley, Lance here!" her mom yelled from downstairs. She sighed and walked downstairs. A cute, blond boy was waiting for her, wearing a regular white tee and dark jeans. They smiled to one another and stepped outside.
"You look really nice" Lance said, looking at her. Haley smiled.
"Lance…
Peyton stopped crying after a while later. She stepped over to the bathroom and cleaned her face. She looked like a mess, her face was all red. She didn't care, she walked back over to her room and dressed into her PJs. She decided to watch 'The Princess Diaries.' Before she push play, Haley walked into her room, looking a mess a well, her face was all red as well.
"Haley" Peyton spoke first.
"I couldn't go out with him" Haley spoke rather fast.
"What? Why?" Peyton asked, watching Haley walk closer to her.
"Because, if going out with him, was going to hurt you, I'll pass" Haley said, sitting down in front of her.
"But, you guys looked so happy together" Peyton asked confused.
"I don't care, Peyton… What really hurt me was that you hid your feelings from me. Why did you do that?" Haley asked, rubbing her left eye.
"I thought it would ruin out friendship" Peyton weakly said, looking at the floor.
"Peyton, nothing in the world, not even guys will ruin our friendship. You'll always be my best friend" Haley smiled looking at Peyton.
"Always?" Peyton asked.
"Always Sawyer" Haley said. Peyton smiled and hugged Haley.
"I'm sorry for what I said earlier. Can you forgive me?" Peyton asked, still hugging Haley.
"Only if you forgive me" Haley said, hugging Peyton.
"Forgiven" Peyton smiled, both releasing from each other.
"So what are we watching?" Haley asked, slouching on the floor, beside Peyton.
"The Princess Diaries" Peyton said, pressing play.
"Oh yeah, but where the goodies?" Haley asked. Peyton laughed and moved the plate of food beside them. For the rest of the night they, giggled, gossiped and made prank calls.
