Hey guys, sorry for the delayed update. A new storyline suddenly popped into mind so I had to incorporate into my current storyline but at least now you guys will have a longer and juicier story! Lol :) Btw thanks for all the comments, you guys are so freakin awesome:) And I loved how you all reacted to the first chap, don't worry there will be more of that Naley interaction in the chaps to come.

P.S – Comments are LOVE, so make me happy by giving me one okay:)

Oh, and I do not own OTH (though I wish I did, so that all episodes would be about the NALEY LOVE), yada yada yada. --You guys know this by heart by now.

The next couple of days at Tree Hill High had been bizarre. Of course it's only natural when the hottest guy in school kisses the smartest junior at school, to put it short a nobody. As soon as Haley James walked out of those library doors she was immediately swarmed by people she barely even knew asking whether the rumors about her and Nathan were true. Of course she denied them profusely but she could not help but blush as she remembered their kiss. Boy, news really does travel fast. The kiss happened three minutes ago, and now the whole school knows about it! And she had Nathan to thank for it. Nathan Scott. Haley heated up at the thought. She had never really liked him, sure he was hot but he was also arrogant and a brat, and the last two qualities always managed to overpower the first. And for as long as she could remember she had always hated him and Nathan had always reciprocated the feeling back. He was the party boy meanwhile she was the nerd, they clashed and they knew it. The only thing that did connect them was Lucas Scott. He was Haley's best friend of how many years and he was Nathan' half brother and recently they had become close. Lucas had always tried to get his two best friends to get along but his plans have always failed him to no avail. Over the years he gave up, he figured they'd get along in their own time or maybe not at all. In the mean time he divided his time amongst the two, seeing as one being in the presence of the other always brought about a fight. Haley had always insisted that she and Nathan were just too different but Lucas always saw it the other way around, they were too alike causing them to repel one another.

It was just another day at school and Haley was at her locker dropping off a couple of books before going off to the cafeteria for lunch with Lucas. She could hear girls sneer behind her back as they passed; back comments had become common ever since the kiss. She rolled her eyes, this game was getting old. That stupid kiss was just that, stupid. Who knew it would stir such a commotion amongst the student body? I'll kill Nathan Scott the next time I see him. A blonde stopped in front of Haley's locker and made a hurtful comment and rather loudly at that, causing the blonde's posse to laugh. Haley clutched her Algebra book, causing her knuckles to go white. Calm down, Haley, she silently told herself.She closed her eyes and breathed in slowly, God knows she's been holding back for the last couple of days. But no, the blonde just had to go on . . .

"Talk about taste," the blonde laughed referring to the poncho Haley was wearing.

Haley bit her lip, Insult me all you want but do not mess with the poncho, she thought angrily. She had had it. All the relentless back talking and negative side comments had finally gotten to her. Haley James was about to crack, and it wasn't going to be pretty. Mess with me but not with my mother. She dropped her book bag to the floor and turned around to face the blonde. She glared at her, anger was in her eyes and the blonde quivered under her glare.

"You got a problem?" Haley demanded, an edge could be heard in her voice. It sounded more like an accusation than a question.

And just when the blonde was about to answer Haley back . . . He did it again.

Him.

Nathan came swooping in and placed his arm around Haley's waist. He was on his way to the cafeteria for lunch and stopped when he saw the fight that was about to unveil. He knew Haley would never give in to the girl's taunting after all she had always been the patient type, well except when they fought but that wasn't the point, Haley James wasn't the kind of girl to get into a fight. But today all that apparently changed as he was surprised to see Haley cave in. As soon as he saw her drop her book bag he knew the blonde was in for trouble, after all he had picked so many fights with Haley that he knew how she moved when in a fight. And that book bag determined it all, and that's when he decided to interfere.

Haley looked up surprised to see Nathan Scott beside her, even more his hand on her waist. She squirmed under his grip but he was stronger, it stayed firmly on her waist.

"What's going on here?" Nathan interrogated.

"Nothing," Haley answered coldly continuing to squirm under his grip. She wanted him to leave, now.

"I'm not talking to you," Nathan answered her but his gaze was fixed on the blonde.

The blonde fidgeted under Nathan's death glare. "Nothing," she stammered, "I was just admiring her Poncho."

"Good."

The blonde let out a sigh of relief, she was sure Nathan was going to pound her. The blonde quickly made an escape before Nathan could say anything more, or do anything would be more like it.

"What did you do that for?" Haley swung around and demanded. Somehow she had gotten out of Nathan's solid grip.

"Why your welcome Haley," Nathan said in a mock tone. "Why it's only fit after I saved—"

"Don't you think for one second you saved me," Haley snapped.

"Uh, maybe coz I did James."

Haley rolled her eyes after hearing Nathan use her last name. What was it with guys and last names? After all she did have a name so why not use it? "Look Scott, I don't need you."

Ouch. Nathan felt a twinge of hurt with Haley's words. But why? It's not like she meant anything to him, right? Get over it man, Nathan shook his thoughts. He put on his famous Scott smirk and retorted, "Yea right James, there's no denying it I know you want me."

Was that hurt in his eyes? Haley thought. She started regretting blowing up at Nathan's face; maybe he really was just concerned. That is until his recent comment. Ugh, the Scott ego. Haley scoffed, she knew it was all an act. "Dream on Nathan."

"Ah, but your doing more than enough of that for the both of us James." Nathan winked. He loved pissing Haley off, it was one of his favorite past times.

Again she scoffed, He just doesn't know when to quit does he.

"Whatever Nathan," She rolled her eyes at him, again. Haley found that in every conversation shes had with Nathan Scott she always found her self rolling her eyes at him. Haley picked up her book bag she had recently discarded on the floor before Nathan had come swooping in and slung it on her shoulder. For some reason she just didn't have it in her to find some witty remark to shoot back, instead she chose to walk away.

Nathan watched her walk away, standing there watching her retreating figure as it grew smaller and smaller slowly being engulfed by the swarm of students. For some unknown reason to him she chose to walk away, and to him he would've preferred the witty remark rather than a retreating figure.

"That went well,"

Nathan glanced behind his back, surprised to find Tim who was a witness to everything that had just happened. "Oh shut up."

"She doesn't want you Nate."

Nathan looked at him, surprised at what he said. "There is not a girl in this school that doesn't want me Tim."

"Oh yeah, wanna put money were your mouth is?" Tim challenged.

"Why not? We all know I have more than enough." Nathan replied with an edge n his voice. He knew he was coming off strong but he couldn't help it, it was his ego that was talking.

"Oh but do you have the skills my friend?" Tim continued to bait, he knew Nathan wouldn't resist.

Nathan didn't reply he just simply looked at Tim. But in his mind he knew it was on. It was definitely on.

A/N: I'm kinda worried Nathan might be coming off too strong in this chap for you guys. But this is all for the sake of the story so I hope you guys understand . . . And I'm sorry if my writing in this chap sucks, I kinda rushed it and im pretty sleeply right now (its 12 am) But I'll do anything for you guys, even if it means staying up to write this chap and posting it, so comment and make me happy aytt :)
