CH6 SOPHMORE YEAR:
It has been 3 months seen school began, and Christmas was near. Currently Haley and Lucas were at a store shopping.
"So what are you thinking about buying your family?" Haley asked, as she going through a rack of clothes.
"For my mom, a jacket. For my dad, a watch and for Nathan a signed basketball of the Lakers" he said. Haley stopped looking through the clothes, then at Lucas, mouth opened.
"I didn't know you were rich" she said. He looked at her blushing.
"I don't like to say I'm rich, but yeah…I have money" he said.
"Wow, so I'm expecting nice al well" she said brightly. He laughed.
"If you play your cards right, maybe" he said, chuckling.
"If you play your cards right, make damn sure" she mocked laughing as well.
"kidding, I'll love whatever you give me " she said.
"Cough perfume cough. Sorry, that cold coming on" she added hitting her chest, walking over to the frame section of the store. Lucas simply laughed.
"What are you thinking about buying Peyton?" he asked walking along with her.
"I think I'm going buy her a Roxy sweater with pants" she said, selecting a frame.
"Nice. I think I'll get this for my mom" she added.
"A frame?" he asked, looking at it.
"Yup, do you know how many pictures we receive each holiday from my siblings?" she said. Lucas thought for the moment agreeing.
"Right, your family's huge" he said. She nodded, they walked to the register to purchase there other material.
"Guess what?" Lucas said, waiting in line with her.
"What?" she asked looking at him.
"Remember that big custody fight I told that was going to happen between my folks?" he asked. Haley nodded.
"Well it going to happen. My mom already hired a lawyer so she can get Nathan to live with us" he said looking done.
"I hope it happens. I'm sorry that this is happening to you and your mom" she said, rubbing his arm. He looked back at her smiling.
"I hope so too, but if everything goes well he will start school with us next year" he said.
"That's great. Now I can get to meet this Nathan" she laughed.
"Oh, I didn't tell you huh? He's coming for Christmas break. So you'll will get to see him" he said. They both walked a step closer to the register.
"Ugh. Sorry I cant. I'm going over to my sisters house for Christmas break. Sorry" she said.
"Maybe next time" she added, setting her stuff on the counter to purchase it.
With Peyton…
Peyton was at Rachel's house with Nicky and Theresa.
"Are your parents ever home?" Peyton asked sitting on the couch.
"When they want to be, but obviously no" Rachel said, walking into the kitchen to get sodas.
"My parents are the same, there only home when it comes to holidays. Otherwise it's a miracle" Theresa said. Rachel came back giving everyone a can of soda.
"Anyways, Peyton guess what a little birdie told me, I'll tell you. Derek, you know the baseball player, he like you and he wants to ask you out" Rachel said, sitting down on the couch. Peyton blushed.
"Are you serious?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yup, he told me and Nicky actually, so are you up to it?" Rachel asked. Peyton thought about it.
"I don't know" she said thinking more.
"Well you better decide quick, because I'm interested" Nicky said, chewing some chips.
Paley Interacts…
"She said what?" Haley asked shocked.
"Yeah, can you believe it? I mean what am I suppose it tell her? Oh yeah go for the guy I been crushing on, I don't mind" Peyton said, brushing her hair.
"Agh… Sucks… Just go for it is my advice. Go out with him and have fun, she'll move on" Haley said.
"I guess" Peyton said, releasing the brush.
"No, you dont" Haley said, convincing Peyton.
"So tomorrow at lunch your going to walk your skinny ass to Derek and say you want to go out with him, got it?" Haley added.
"Yes ma'am, anything else" she said, saluting her.
"Hahaha" she said, while Peyton laughed.
"Ok, changing subjects. Any one your interested in?" Peyton asked.
"Actually now that you mention it, yes" Haley said, crossing her legs in Indian form.
"Who?" Peyton asked curious.
"I think I've talked about him once or twice, Eric( Shane West)" Haley said.
"Oh him? The guy your tutoring" Peyton said.
"Yeah him. I didn't know when it happened but there it is. I like Eric" Haley said resting her check on her hand.
"Are you going to tell him?" Peyton asked.
"I don't know yet" Haley sighed.
"I tell you what someone once said to me tomorrow at lunch your going to walk your skinny aa to Eric and say you want to go out with him, got it?" Peyton chuckled. Haley smiled.
With Haley…
"Did you see how I did it?" Haley asked Eric, they were both at the tutoring center after school.
"Yeah. I always forget that the verb has to go in the middle" he said. Haley nodded checking her watch.
"I been noticing you been checking your watch a lot, what am I that boring?" Eric joked, Haley nervously laughed, blushing. She looked up at him.
"No, it's not that, it's just… Nevermind, forget I ever said anything" she said, looking away. Eric watched her.
"You could tell me anything, you know that" he said reassuring her, Haley looked back at him smiling.
"I know.I just, I'm nervous" she said, playing with her fingers.
"For what?" he asked, slouching closer to her on the table. She laughed nervously again. Why am I nervous? She thought.
"Look am just going to say it, it's ok if you don't feel the same, I understand, I mean I don't even know why I'm nervous, I never get like this when it comes to these types of things, I mean-
"Haley your rambling. What are you trying to say?" he asked. Haley took a breath.
"Eric, I like you. Not as a friend but as more" she said. He looked at her stunned. He didn't say anything.
"Like I said it's ok. It was stupid in the first place. Why don't I just leave, I'll see you tomorrow" she said gathering her stuff. Eric grasped her hands, not letting them go. Haley looked at him.
"Haley wait. You didn't even let me talk. And I feel the same about you" he said, smiling. Haley smiled as well. He leaned in to kiss her.
With Peyton…
Peyton was staring at Derek from across the class. He looked back at her, but she quickly turned her head so it wouldn't be obvious. The bell rang, everyone was rushing out of class. Peyton was walking out of the classroom.
"Couldn't help but notice, you were staring at me" Derek said walking behind her.
"Who said I was staring at you? You do know you sit by a window?" Peyton said, looking at him. Derek smirked.
"Right" he said walking along with her, while Peyton smiled.
"Lets stop playing games. I like you Peyton and I know you like me" he said.
"Who says I do?" Peyton smirked.
"Why wouldn't you?" he asked, Peyton chuckled.
"Guilty" she said.
"So are we going out?" he asked.
"I don't know you tell me?" she said standing outside her classroom.
"I'll take that as a yes" he said, looking at her.
"Fine" she said walking to him, to kiss him.
"Fine" he said breaking away from the kiss. They both walked their separate ways. Peyton sat behind Rachel and Nicky when she walked inside the classroom.
"Guess who I'm going out with? I'll tell you. Derek that's who" she said smiling. Both Rachel and Nicky turned around to look at her.
"Since when?" Nicky asked.
"Since now" Peyton said.
"Way to go Sawyer" Rachel cheered. Nicky turned around rolling her eyes, while Peyton sat there smiling to herself.
Two Weeks Later...
Paley Interacts…
"When are you leaving to your sisters?" Peyton asked biting into her food.
"Tomorrow, when do you leave to your aunts?" Haley asked.
"In two days. So tell me what did Eric get you for Christmas?" Peyton asked.
"He gave me a silver necklace, wait let me show you it" Haley said, getting out of her seat walking over to her bag.
"It's pretty" Peyton said, looking at it.
"I know. I like it too, but this is going to sound mean, but I like what Lucas gave me better" Haley said, putting the necklace away.
"What he give you?" Peyton asked, chewing her food.
"Perfume. What I wanted and kind of hinted from him. A couple weeks ago" Haley smiled innocently.
"Haley! How?" Peyton asked.
"You know, like including the word perfume to every conversation, stuff like that" she said.
"So what did Derek give you?" she added.
"He gave me a sketch book with drawing pens" she smiled.
"Exactly what I needed" she added.
"Cool, well girly I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow by the time I'm at my sisters, bye" Haley said
"Ok bye" Peyton said, both turning off their web cams.
Another 2 Weeks Later
With Haley…
"Hello" Nathan answered the phone.
"Hello is Lucas there?" Haley asked.
"He's taking a shower. Do you want to leave a message?" he asked.
"Damn it. Sorry, it's just that every time I call he's in the shower. That boy is basically a fish" Haley said. Nathan laughed.
"I know what you mean when I'm with him he has to take a shower before and after basketball-
"Wait, is this Nathan?" Haley asked.
"Yeah" he said.
"This is Haley" she said.
"Oh, hi. Didn't even recognize your voice" he said.
"It's because I'm sick" she said coughing.
"Sucks, so where are you? Luke told me you were leaving for Christmas break" he said.
"I'm around the snow, with my sister. I wont be back until next week. Lucas told me you were coming to visit. Sorry I couldn't see you. I mean by this time wouldn't you think we at least seen each other after all the times we been talking on the phone?" she said.
"I know, I don't even know how you look like" he said.
"Exactly, so how are you and your girlfriend?" she asked.
"Actually I broke up with her" he said.
"Why?" she asked coughing again.
"Things just didn't work. So how are you and Eric?" he asked.
"Good, before this I spoke to him" she said.
"Oh, well happy New Years... Lucas just got out. I'll talk to you some other time bye Haley" he said.
"Ok, Happy New Years to you too, bye" she said.
"Hi Haley" Lucas said.
"Lucas hey. I finally have a reach of you" Haley said. They both laughed.
3 Months Later
With Peyton….
Peyton was walking down Derek's street. She walked into his house, the door seemed to be open and nobody answered her knocking. So she walked in, excited. She had drawn a picture of Derek and his baseball montage, she was eager to show him. As she walked further upstairs she heard loud music coming from his room. No wonder he couldn't hear me, she thought. She opened his door to reveal Derek in bed with Theresa. She stood there in shock, while Theresa tried to cover herself up.
"I can explain this" Derek said, coving himself as well.
"Explain what? I'm right here. I caught you two" she said.
"Look Peyton…" he didn't know what to say, she just caught him cheating on her.
"Why?" Peyton asked, tears beginning to form. He still didn't answer.
"Was it because I didn't want to have sex with you?" she asked. No response.
"Obviously, look at you. You slept with the school whore" she said wiping the tears in her eyes. Theresa rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry" he whispered.
"You're not sorry. No... I'm the one that's sorry. I'm sorry I ever agreed to go out with you" she said. She walked closer to them.
"Here, have it. I don't want it anymore" she said, ripping out her necklace along with the drawing she drawn for him. She turned and glared at Theresa.
"And for you Theresa, I'm going to call Nicky to apologize. I thought she was the one that would get Derek to cheat on me, but no. Haley was right your nothing but a two-faced bitch .I never want to see you again, actually both of you... Derek were through" she said running from his house. Derek looked at the picture she had left behind, he shook his head. What the fuck did I do? He thought regretting what he had done.
The Next Day…
It was lunch time at Peyton's school. Rachel, Nicky and Peyton were at their usual table. Theresa was walking up to them setting her tray in the table.
"Rachel can you move your bag?" she asked. Rachel looked up at Theresa.
"Sorry, but we have a no skanks policy" she said.
"What!? Ha! I get it. It's a joke, right?" Theresa asked, looking at them.
"Does it look like were joking?" Nicky viciousley said. Theresa looked at them shocked.
"So where am I suppose to sit?' she asked with a hint of fear.
"In the slut area, which is 6 tables, that way" Peyton pointed.
"Rachel, you guys have to be joking. Come on Peyton, it wasn't a big deal. I'm your friend remember?" she said still standing up.
"A friend? I don't remember friends sleeping with their friends boyfriend" Peyton said almost yelling.
"Theresa go away before things get uglier" Nicky said.
"Rachel, were tight. We were friends before Peyton came along. Please don't do this to me... I'll do anything, but please don't kick me out" Theresa pleaded.
"As far as I'm concern, your no longer our friend. Or longer part of our group, and the cheerleading squad" Rachel said.
"What? I'm getting kicked out of the squad!" Theresa began to cry.
"Did I stutter? Your out, now leave before we do something to embarrass you more" Rachel said. Theresa looked at them one last time, then walked away crying.
"Thanks guys" Peyton said, weakly smiling.
"No thank you for opening our eyes to see Theresa's true colors" Nicky said.
"Yeah, what she did to you doesn't deserve a forgiveness" Rachel said, as Peyton nodded.
Paley Interacts….
"Peyton I'm so sorry. I wish I was there when it happened. Fuck Theresa, she's a bitch" Haley said pissed.
"I know, but that not what hurts. I really like him Haley" Peyton said in tears.
"Sorry, you told me too. Don't cry for him Peyton. He doesn't deserve it" Haley said trying to comfort her friend.
"Its stupid right? I know I shouldn't be crying, but this is the first time someone has cheated on me. I cant help but blame myself" Peyton said crying more.
"No, do not blame yourself. He did this, you had no part. He's the dumbass that cheated on a great person" Haley said. Peyton weakly smiled.
"Thanks" Peyton said.
"No prob, that's why I'm here" Haley smiled.
"Well at least a relationship is going good for one of us" Peyton said changing the subject.
"Yeah, Eric has been really kind to me, but lets not talk about that. Lets talk about another thing" Haley said.
"What did Rachel and Nicky say, when they found out?" Haley asked.
"They kicked her out of the cheerleading team and said she couldn't hang out with us anymore. They are awesome for supporting me" Peyton smiled.
"See I knew I always liked them" Haley said. For the next couple of hours they kept talking about random things.
1 Month Later,
Spring Break…
"What are you doing for spring break this year?" Peyton asked.
"I'm staying in Tree hill this year, you?" Haley asked.
"Aunts house again, leaving tomorrow morning" Peyton said.
"Have fun, call me whenever, cuz I have to go, bye" Haley said.
"Ok, bye. Have fun too" Peyton said as they both turned off their web cams.
1 Week Later…
Haley was walking to the river court to see if Lucas was there. When she arrived she didn't see him alone. She walked closer and Lucas saw her.
"Hey Nate I want you to meet my friend Haley" he said. Nathan turned around knowing who she was.
'Hi Hales, this is- she cut him off
"Typical jock" she said.
"Conservative cheerleader" he said back smiling at her. Lucas looked at them confused.
"What?" he asked.
"I already met her before. Well kind of" he said, not taking his eyes of Haley.
"Where?" Lucas asked.
"At the airport last year in Colorado" Haley said, not taking her eyes of Nathan.
"Ok, so all this time you guys were talking on the phone without knowing who you guys were, but knowing each other at the same time?" Lucas asked confused still.
"Yeah" they both answered.
"Ok.. Well while you guys catch up, I'm going to be over there" Lucas said walking toward the court.
"So let me introduce myself, this time. I'm Haley" Haley said.
"I'm Nathan" he said chuckling. They both gazed at another more, until Haley's cell rang. She looked at the I.D, it was Eric. she bit her lip, and decided to ignore it.
"So how long our you here for?" Haley asked, looking back at his stunning blue eyes.
"Today's my last day, I been here all week" he said.
"Wow, always last to know. At least I met you, I mean saw you again" she chuckled.
"I know, want to go eat?" he asked.
"Sure, lets go" she said walking away with him
"Hey Luke were going to go eat!" Nathan yelled, almost forgetting his brother was there.
2 Hours Later…
"I always hate goodbyes" Haley said, as they were in front of her house.
"Me too" Nathan said looking at her. She looked down then back up at him. Silence.
"Well then this is goodbye. I had a lot fun with you today" she said smiling.
"Yeah, I guess it is" he said, placing his hands in his pockets.
"Ok, then bye" she said leaning up, kissing him in the cheek. Nathan suddenly blushed, then he hugged her.
"Bye" he said back, not wanting to go. They released each other and he stayed until she was inside. He smiled, turning around. Seconds later he walked to Lucas house.
1 Week Later…
Paley Interacts…
"Did he say why he broke up with you?" Peyton asked Haley who was crying.
"Yeah, he accused me of cheating on him. Can you believe that? I would never do that" Haley cried.
"Why?" she asked.
"That day Nathan was in town. He saw us together, but we didn't do anything, all we did was hang out. He called me a slut, a typical cheerleader" Haley tried not to cry anymore.
"I'm so sorry. He's an ass" Peyton said mad.
"I know. Lucas said, he volunteered to kick his ass" Haley said.
"He should Eric deserved it!" Peyton yelled
"Maybe, but I think I'll pass" Haley said, not crying anymore.
"You should reconsider" Peyton said.
"Nah, so what's up with you, how's school so far?" Haley asked.
"I haven't told you. Derek asked me to go out with him again. That he 'supposedly' changed" Peyton said.
"You're not going to are you?" Haley asked.
"Hell no!" Peyton said.
"Good. We don't need guys like him and Eric in our lives" Haley said.
"Cheers to that my friend" Peyton said, holding u her redbull, while Haley laughed and did the same with her soda.
Last Week Of School…
"When are you leaving again?" Peyton asked.
"On Friday night. So I'll be your state Friday night" she said.
"That's so rad. You get to be here all summer again" Peyton cheered.
"I know, I'm excited too" Haley cheered as well.
"So talk to you tomorrow, bye Peyton" Haley added.
"Bye" Peyton said, logging off.
