Chapter 5- Meet My Girlfriend Part 2
Haley had a fair day so far and only a few mean comments were thrown her way and she tried her hardest to ignore them. She wondered when Nathan's friends would approach her, she really hoped that they didn't have a problem with her, she just wanted them to like her, because she didn't want Nathan to have to choose between her and his friends if it came down to that. She knew that Lucas and Brooke approved and she was grateful.
"Hey Haley." A random girl said as she walked passed Haley.
Haley waved, but couldn't help but be shocked, she had random people waving to her and saying hello to her all day, along with the people that were glaring at her. She put her books up and collected her books for her next class.
"What does Nathan see in her, I mean seriously he goes from Rachel to her?" Someone said as they walked past.
Haley slammed her locker shut and tried to calm down, she felt the tears coming and tried to hold it in, and she didn't want anyone to see her crying.
"Hey tutor-girl you ok?" Brooke asked as she walked up to Haley.
Haley turned and looked at her best friend and felt a tear slide down her cheek.
"Hey, what happened did someone say something to you?" Brooke asked.
"I just don't understand these people, there are some who were nice to me and their were some who were so mean what did I do to deserve this Brooke?" Haley asked sadly.
"Hey look at me. You didn't do anything wrong you are an amazing person and the people that were mean to you are just jealous of you and wish they had what you have." Brooke said.
"What's that?" Haley asked as she wiped her eyes.
"Well, Nathan and the amazing relationship you two have. When Nathan was with Rachel, he was with other girls too, but now that he's with you he's only with you." Brooke said.
"Thanks Brookie, you are the best." Haley said as she hugged Brooke.
"You're welcome now lets get to class cause we are late." Brooke said as Haley laughed.
"Sure tigger." Haley said as they headed to their next class.
After class Haley told Brooke that she would catch up with her and the others, she had to stop in the office. When she left the office she stopped at her locker to get the books for her next class. She shut her locker and was about to make her way to the cafeteria to have lunch with her friends, when she was face to face with Rachel and some of her minions.
Haley sighed and placed her books in her bag as she looked back up at Rachel.
"You think you're all that don't you?" Rachel asked Haley.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" Haley asked.
"You think that just because you are with Nathan and that people are noticing you, that you're important, don't you." Rachel said as she shoved Haley.
"I don't know what your problem is but I have never done anything to you." Haley said as she felt the tears threatening to fall.
She tried to push past them but they blocked her in.
"I am not done with you yet. Do you really think that Nathan wants you, you are just something he is having fun with right now, but trust me all I have to do is work my charm and show him what he's missing." Rachel said.
Haley glared at Rachel and shoved her, she didn't know why Rachel was being so hurtful and mean.
"Yeah the only way for you to do that is to throw yourself at him." Haley said.
Rachel swung and hit Haley, Haley hit her back and a fight broke out between the two girls, and Rachel's minions jumped in as well.
The fight was broken up by a couple of students that were around and Haley glared at Rachel before storming off.
"Hey Brooke where is Haley?" Nathan asked as he sat down to the table.
"I think she went to the office, but she said she would meet up with us." Brooke said.
"If you're talking about Haley she just went outside." A girl said as she stopped at their table.
"What do you mean? What happened?" Brooke asked worriedly.
"There was an altercation with Rachel and her minions." The girl said.
"Ok, thanks." Brooke said as the girl nodded and walked away, as Nathan, Brooke and Lucas got up to find Haley.
Haley sat down and took out her mirror to look at what damage Rachel had done. She noticed she had a bruise forming on her cheek and a black eye; she was going to need to enlist the help of Brooke to cover her black eye.
"It's only going to get worse you know." Someone said as Haley looked up.
Haley sighs, "I know, I guess you're here to tell me you don't approve of me and Nathan's relationship." She said.
"Actually we do approve, well most of us do but don't worry about the rest of them. We are glad you are with Nathan, you are perfect for him and to be honest we really don't like Rachel." The person said as Haley laughed.
"Thanks Jake, and thanks you guys." Haley said to Jake and the other boys.
"No problem." They said as they left.
"Do you really think that this thing with you and Nathan is going to last?" Tim asked as he and two of Nathan's other friends sat down.
"Excuse me." Haley said as she looked at her boyfriend's best friend.
"You heard me, you make it seem as if you are so innocent, but I'm sure you have already given it up to Nate, and trust me once he's gotten what he wants and he gets tired of you he will drop you so fast and move on to the next available and willing girl. So try not to get comfortable." Tim said as he and the other two walked away.
Haley couldn't believe it, this was the worst day ever and to top it all off there were some people who approved of her and Nathan and then there were some who didn't.
"Haley!" she turned and noticed Brooke, Nathan, and Lucas running towards her.
"Are you ok baby?" Nathan asked as he sat down next to her and Lucas and Brooke sat on the opposite side.
"I'm okay." Haley said in a whisper as she leaned into Nathan.
Nathan grabbed hold of her face and turned her face to him cupping her cheeks causing her to wince. He softly turned her head and noticed the black eye and bruise on her cheek. He rubbed his thumb over her cheek in a soothing manner and softly kissed her eye. Brooke really didn't want to ruin the intimate moment but she had to get to the bottom of this.
"Hales what happened?" Brooke asked softly.
Haley sighed and looked at Brooke, "After I left the office, I stopped to my locker to get my books for my next class, when Rachel and her two friends show up and then next thing I know, she is telling me how things wont last and that all she has to do is work her charm on Nathan and show him what he's missing and he'll leave me to go back to her, so I said yeah, because in order for you to get him or any guy you have to throw yourself at them, and then the next thing I know we were fighting, then someone broke it up and here I am now." She said.
Brooke could see that there was more to the story than Haley was letting on, but she would talk to her about it later. She was first going to deal with Rachel and her minions.
"I'm really sorry about everything Hales." Nathan said.
"We are going to go." Lucas said as he grabbed Brooke's hand and left giving the couple their privacy.
Haley turned, so that she was facing Nathan and cupped his cheek, as she looked him in the eye.
"It's not your fault; we should have known that not everyone would be for our relationship." Haley said softly.
"Hey, don't let it get to you okay. All that matters is you and I." Nathan said as he kissed the top of her head.
"I'm sorry." Haley said in a whisper as she wiped the tears away.
"Why are you sorry?" Nathan asked.
"I'm crying so much and I'm being such a big baby." Haley said as she pouted.
Nathan chuckled and pulled Haley closer to him and wrapped his arms around her waist as he kissed her cheek.
"You are not a big baby, you are just a caring and loving person." Nathan said as he kissed her neck.
"Thank you." Haley said breathlessly as Nathan continued kissing her neck.
"Besides you would be the sexiest big baby ever." Nathan said against her neck as Haley began laughing.
"That was awkward wasn't it?" Nathan asked as he groaned.
Haley could only nod as she continued to laugh.
"Yes it was." Haley said as she calmed down.
Nathan kissed her all over her face then let his lips linger on hers, as their lips moved in sync with each other. They pulled apart after a while, when the bell to signal that lunch was over rang. They both groaned and stood up, grabbing their bags as they linked hands and made their way into the school building.
Nathan walked Haley to her class and leaned down to kiss her.
"I'll see you after class." Nathan said as she nodded and he kissed her one last time before walking away to his class. Haley couldn't wait for the school day to be over as she sat through her last day of class.
