Chapter Eight

I just stared into his eyes, unbelieving the feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. How could this guy make me feel this way when I've know him all of 2 days? It's mindblowing to think I went this long without ever feeling this. Just as I was about to kiss him again, I hear Brooke talking.

"Now Haley has got the right idea! HOT TUB!" I pulled back from Nathan who groaned. I laughed at this and he glared. We were joined by Brooke, Bevin and Peyton because they rushed over. Nobody else could fit. "Know what that means, boys? It's time for you to go! Girls night from here on out!"

I was happy about this. I mean, don't get me wrong. I could sit here in Nathan's lap, making out with him all night, but it would eventually turn into a hook up and thats not what I want to be to Nathan. Reluctantly, all the guys said goodbye to us girls and left. Nathan kissed me on the cheek and followed them all. "Wow Brooke. You've got some power over those guys. You say out and they run," I said with a laugh.

She smiled back at me. "That's because I'm Brooke Davis!" we all laughed at this. Brooke stood. "Okay, girlies, it's time to go inside and gossip over some ben and jerry's therapy, maybe put in a movie."

We all followed her inside and changed into our pj's. Brooke handed us all a spoon and we sat around her table, eating Ben and Jerry's Karmel Sutra (AN: This is one of the best ice creams EVER!). "So, how was your night, Haley?" Bevin asked with a knowing smile.

Brooke and Peyton gave me the same look. "Yeah, Haley. You and Nathan looked pretty cozy in the hottub!" Peyton added.

I smiled. "I had a great night. Nathan is amazing."

Brooke fake gagged. "Oh, no! Another Peyton!" she exclaimed and Peyton lightly slapped her arm.

"I'm not that bad! I can't help the way I feel!" she whined and we all laughed.

"Peyton, I think its cute," I said and she smiled. "I always wanted to be in love with someone and be so happy with someone like you are with Jake. I swear, you're like the perfect couple."

"Aww, thanks, Haley! I'm glad someone thinks we're cute," she said with a fake glare at Brooke.

She just held her hands up. "I'm sorry! I think its cute, but its so cute that its disgusting!"

Bevin laughed. "She's right. It's cute, but sometimes too much to handle after just eating."

Peyton laughed. "Okay, okay. Enough about me and Jake! Brooke, whats going on with Lucas?"

Brooke grinned. "Haley, your brother is so hot! I swear, He's gonna be mine in less than a week, I promise you!"

I groaned. "Brooke, as long as you don't tell me what happens between you guys, I'll be happy for you," I said and she hugged me.

"Okay, I'll try, but I can't promise anything. Sometimes I forget easily!"

I smiled. "That's okay, I'll remind you. TRUST ME! I'll remind you!" I say and pull away from her hug.

"So, enough about me and Lucas, whats up with you and Skills, Bev?" Brooke asked.

Bevin shrugged. "I don't know. We're just having fun right now, hopefully it turns into something more!" she explained and we all 'aww'ed at her.

"That's cute, but not too cute," Brooke said and we laughed.

"Yes, it is," I agreed.

"Okay, Haley. You avoided the questioning, but you will avoid it no longer. What is going on with you and Nathan?" Peyton asked.

I shrugged. "I'm just going with it, seeing where it takes me. I've never felt this way about anyone before, but then again, I've never dated Nathan Scott before. I guess I'll find out on Saturday when we go out on that date!"

"Okay, okay. Enough gossip! Lets watch a movie and then head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be awesome!" Bevin exclaimed and we agreed. We watched 'Walk The Line' and then around 1:30 we all fell asleep.

"Haley! Wakey, wakey!" I felt someone tug my covers off of my body. I groaned and rolled over. "Oh, come on, Haley! Getting up early is part of the pain in getting beautiful! Now, get your lazy ass out of bed!"

I sighed, clearly unable to win. "You should just get up, Haley. She'll cover you in water if you don't," I heard Peyton say, grogily.

I shot up to a standing position. The only way I would be getting wet is if I get in the shower. Just then Brooke came around the corner with a cup of water. "Oh, good! You're up, now go get in the shower and we'll start to beautify!" I gave her a slight smile in response. She went out of the room screaming, "Bevin! You better be dressed and ready for makeup! I'm coming in!"

Peyton laughed and put her arm around my shoulder. "Don't let her scare you, Haley. Her bark is worse than her bite. Now, if I were you I would get into the shower now before she gets back down here. Go!" she patted me on the butt and went in the direction Brooke did. I quickly ran into the bathroom and took a very short shower. Once I got out and opened the door, three girls attacked me. They handed me my new outfit, which I quickly changed into, and then proceeded to work on my nails, hair, and makeup.

"What should I do with her hair, P. Sawyer?" Brooke asked.

Peyton looked up from my nails. "You should definately curl it. It'll be so cute!"

"I totally agreed," Bevin said.

I saw Brooke smile through the mirror. "Good idea, Peyton. I knew I kept you around for something," she teased.

About a half hour, a few different coats of nail polish and pounds of makeup later, we were all ready to go. We drove in 2 different cars. Brooke and Bevin went in Brooke's bug while Peyton and I went in my BMW M3 convertible.

"So, are you excited, Haley?"

"I'm pretty excited. I don't think I'm going to have many classes. I was pretty far ahead in all my classes back in Michigan and I think they want me to help out in your tutoring center," I said. "Plus, Lucas and I took all our finals early at our school. We're really going to see our results. If there are any classes we didn't pass they'll let us take the class here for the last week of school and we'll retake it. I think Luke will have some classes, but I don't know if I'll have any."

"You are so lucky! You'll probably just hang out in the tutoring center all day. They're will probably be a bunch of kids in there, though. There usually there around finals time," Peyton said with a laugh.

"Especially seniors, right? Don't want to have to take another year of high school!" I said and we laughed. I pulled into a parking spot and we got out.

We ran into Brooke and Bevin right before entering the school. Brooke looped her arm through mine. "So, are you ready for your first day?"

"I don't think she's going to have to worry about any teachers, Brooke," Peyton said and explained everything I told her in the car.

"I finally figured out your nickname!" Brooke exclaimed.

I smiled. "Really? What is it?"

"Tutor girl!" she said and jumped.

"Okay, and I've got one for you," I said.

"What is it?" she grinned.

"Tigger," I said with a smile.

She squealed. "That's cute! Totally see why, too! Come on, tutor chick, I'll walk you to the office!" We walked inside and everyone turned towards us. Some girls were glaring at me, some were smiling. Most guys were drooling, but that could've been for Brooke, too. She practically owned this school. Suddenly, she stopped. "Okay, this is your stop. If I don't see you in any classes, I'll see you at lunch, okay?"

I nodded. "See you later, Tigger!" She smiled at me and walked away. I sighed and walked in. Lucas was already there, sitting in the waiting room. I sat next to him. "Hey. Did you find out if you have to take any classes yet?"

"Yeah, I've got 3 classes and 5 free periods. Just go up to the secretary and tell her who you are. She'll give you your schedule," he explained.

"Well, what are you still doing in here if you already have your schedule?" I asked, curious.

"I was waiting for my older sister. I wanted to do this together. We always did new schools together, remember?"

I smiled. "Yeah, but that was just transitioning from elementary to middle school and then there to high school, but it was sweet of you to think about me! I'll be right back," I said and went to the desk.

The elderly lady behind it smiled up at me. "Can I help you, sweetie?"

I smiled back. "Yes, you can. My name is Haley Roe and I need to pick up a schedule," I explained.

She began typing and then she printed out a sheet of paper. "Well. you are about the luckiest person in this school. You only need one credit and thats a language class. I'm sure you took some language at your old school, right?"

I nodded. "Two, actually. Spanish and french.'

She smiled. "Well, good. You'll do just fine in the class I put you in. Now, you'll have 7 free periods, but they're going to be for the tutoring center, right?" I nodded again. "Okay then, you're all set, sweetie. Have a nice day!"

I grinned at her. "You too, ma'am!" I walked back over to Luke who obviously heard the whole conversation. "Don't be jealous, Lukey! I worked hard for this! You know I took summer courses just to stay ahead!"

He smiled. "Well, I'll have you help me in the classes that I have, okay?"

I nodded. "Sounds good. What class do I need to walk you to first?"

He looked down at his schedule. "Calculus. I can't believe I didn't pass that exam! I hate calculus!"

I laughed. "Don't worry, I'll help you study even better this time, okay?"

He smiled and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I have the best big sister there ever was!"

I pushed him lightly. "Stop or you'll make me blush!"

Review time! Let me know how I'm doing!
