"She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts. She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers. Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time. If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along, so why can't you see. You belong with me. You belong with me."
You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift
The walk to chemistry was fun. Luke was still complaining about his paper and I was laughing hysterically because he was acting like we used to. Although I was having fun, I was dreading the next ninety minutes.
Nathan doesn't get chemistry at all. Well he's not the only one, because everyone in there doesn't pay attention to Ms. Walker. So when they don't get it, Ms. Walker asks me to try and teach it to them. They usually all get it afterwards, so I keep helping everyone. The reason I'm dreading chemistry so much is not because I don't like helping people, it's because I think that I've helped everyone in that class but Nathan. So that means that if I have nothing else to do, I have to help him whether I like it or not.
Again, ruining my perfect day.
When we got to the chemistry, I said bye to Luke and was about to walk into the door when I slammed into a brick wall loosing my balance. I could've sworn that there was not a wall there, but clumsy me can run into anything. When I finally decided to look at what I had run into, I looked up and saw the most amazing blue eyes that I had ever seen in my life. And I'd seen them before. A lot actually. Because they belonged to the one and only Nathan Scott.
This day really hates me.
"Oh my gosh Haley" Nathan exclaimed after he realized that it was me that he knocked down. "I'm so sorry. I was thinking about something and wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I didn't hurt you did I?" He offered his hand to help me up but I declined choosing to get up myself.
"Yea I'm fine" I said getting up and walking away from him.
I needed to get all the alone time that I could get before I had to help him. But he wasn't going to let me. He came up behind me and grabbed my elbow turning me to face him. At that instant that our skins touched, electric shocks shot up my arm and down the rest of my body. Nathan must've felt it too judging by the look on his face and how he suddenly dropped my arm.
"Hales," he said, "We really need to talk. But I need you to hear me out and not zone out on me." He had a serious look on his face, but I wasn't going to give into him like I had done before. He was going to have to show that I could actually trust him again because right now, I could trust him about as far as I could throw him. And that was nowhere, so I didn't trust him at all.
"Nathan look, I'm not in the mood to talk right now. Plus, why should I even listen? The last time that I listened to you, I went home and cried for I don't know how long. And right now, I don't trust you because of that." After I said that, I saw the disappointment in his face. Not because of me, but because of him and what he did. I don't really think that he knew that what he did caused me that much pain and now hearing it after four years was like opening old wounds. "If you want me to trust you again, do things that'll make me trust you. Then maybe I'll listen."
As I turned to walk to my desk, he said, "Haley." When I turned around again he said, "I really am sorry." When I nodded, he somewhat smiled and we went to our separate desks.

Chemistry was going so slow today. I had no errands to run and Ms. Walker was teaching something new, so I couldn't help anyone. Instead of paying attention to the notes like I usually did, I started staring in Nathan's direction. Wow, the second time today I'm doing this. I have got to get a more interesting thing to look at. But Nathan was interesting. He was actually one of the only ones paying attention. The others were either sleeping or passing notes.
He looked so cute when he was confused. I wonder what he wanted to talk to me about. He was probably going to ask me to tutor him because he was about to be kicked off the basketball team. Do I really want to do that? I mean I don't owe him anything. And do I really want to put myself through that again? I don't know. Oh and in my rhetorical questions to myself, Nathan has looked in my direction about six times in like the past twenty minutes. Something has to be up.
Now after my little conversation with myself, which I really need to stop, Ms. Walker finished the notes and was now passing out a worksheet. When she was finished passing out papers, I walked to her desk and asked her if there was anything that she needed me to do.
"Actually Haley, there is something. I would like you to help Nathan Scott today" she said. "He seems to be having a little bit of trouble and it might help if you could explain it to him."
Holding back the feeling to burst out laughing because I knew that this was coming, I told her that I would try to help him.
Gathering her notes, I walked to Nathan's table and sat down next to him. After noticing someone's presence next to him, he turned to me with those gorgeous blue eyes of his.
Well this totally screws up my day. That's the second time in less than an hour that I've gotten lost in his blue eyes.
AN: Hey guys. Here's chapter 4. So when I was rereading the last chapter, I noticed some typing errors. Sorry. I don't think that this one has any, but I could be wrong. Oh and in the last AN, I said that this story had 18 reviews, it had 13. Now it's 18. :) That's still a personal record. By the way, I loved all of your reviws, again they inspire me to write more. Um, the next chapter should be up soon. I don't know when. Oh and if you guys were wondering, how I write this story and author notes is pretty much how my mind is all the time. There are always random thoughts roaming in there somewhere. :P Ok, I'm going to stop rambeling...again. Remember to review 'cause they make me smile. :) *especially when I have a lot!!* -Tay_
