Haley walked into the party nervously. The only thing that ran through her head was what the hell was she doing here. Then she remembered, oh yeah Peyton had invited her the other day when she was walking to class
Flashback
"Hey Haley. Wait up!" Peyton called as she let go of her boyfriend Lucas' hand and ran up Haley.
"Hey Peyton, What's up?" Haley replied her voice shaking a little because of that Peyton had actually approached her. "Oh my God, your not failing again are you Peyton cause if you are we can get started right away"
"No I'm passing. I still want to thank you for that; you really helped me Haley. I never thought that I could get an A" Peyton laughed
"Oh don't worry about it I loved helping you" Haley laughed then stopped when she realized she was laughing with none other than Peyton Sawyer.
For a moment there was an awkward silence and then finally Haley got the nerve to speak "Umm...Peyton you wanted to ask me something" Haley asked timidly.
" Ohhhh yea I was wondering if you wanted to come to my party on Saturday. It's not gonna be a huge party just a few friends form school u know Lucas, Brooke, Tim, Allen, Bevin, Skills, Fergie, Junk, Theresa, Nathan and a few others" Peyton finished a little out of breathe from the names she had listed.
Wait did she say Nathan as in Nathan Scott. Great just her luck. There was no way that she could survive an evening with Nathan Scott and his cocky attitude. Every time she thought of him her stomach turned and she wanted to throw up. But was that a feeling of hatred or admiration? Of course it was hatred . There was no way Haley was feeling anything for Nathan Scott. He was cocky, self-centered, egotistical, everything she didn't want in a man. He was the worse match for her. She had to lie. " Come on Haley think" she thought to herself. 'Tell her your mom is sick and you have to take care of her. Yeah that's what I'll say. The whole time she didn't see Peyton's hand waving around in her face.
'HALEY, earth to haley" Peyton yelled.
"Ohhhh sorry" haley said as a tint of redness overcame her cheeks. " Umm Peyton I don't know...actually my mom is..."
'Come on Haley we don't bite, and don't give me that my mom is sick and I have to take care of her excuse either cause everyone uses that line and I'm not gonna believe." Peyton said with her arms folded.
Haley just stood there speechless how did she know what she was going to say. "Well your not a good liar and you were starting to stutter" was what popped in Haley's head 'Oh your so stupid Haley say something else anything. Oh but I don't know what to say' Haley stood there battling her thoughts. Meanwhile, Peyton just stood there watching her and since she really wanted Haley to come she took her silence as a yes.
"Ok so since you have no reason to say no I'll see you there" Peyton said before laughing and running off into Lucas' arms.
"No that wasn't a yes, wait no this isn't happening how did I get myself into this" H aley said talking to herself a little bit. She had to get herself out of this situation but what could she do. So Haley was left alone as she slowly walked to her locker.
End Flashback
As Haley snapped back into reality she just stood there not knowing what to do she desperately looked around for Peyton but couldn't find her. So she decided to just forget it and leave but someone grabbed her arm. As she looked up she saw it was Lucas.
"Hey where are you going. Your not leaving yet are you?" He said with a slight grin. "Peyton has been looking for you come on" He said leading her to the from the door. As they walked over Haley couldn't help but notice that this was a little more people then Peyton had let on about. It seems as if everyone from school was at the party and there was no hiding from any of them. She also noticed how big the house was. Oh my gosh; it was twice the size of hers. It was beautiful. All that she could say about it was that it was the most beautiful house that she had ever seen. You could get lost in one of the hallways and never come back. Finally they reached Peyton, who was talking to Brooke and Theresa. Lucas left Haley's side and gave Peyton a soft kiss on the lips.
"Haley I knew you would come" Peyton said smiling. "Oh Brooke you remember Haley don't you?" Peyton asked turning toward Brooke.
"Umm...not quite have I seen her around she doesn't look familiar." Brooke said squinting and laughing.
"Come on Brooke you know from the tutor center" Peyton said slowly almost making Brooke sound stupid.
"Oh yea tutor girl how could I forget you helped Peyton when she was failing. Oh my God! I so love you totally helped save the squad. I mean without Peyton and of course me the squad wouldn't exist." Brooke said giving Peyton a slight hug.
"Oh don't worry bout it I loved to help and Tutor-what?" Haley asked confused. How dare she give me a nickname I don't even know her like that. She could have at least called me by my name the nerve of that little w... Then all of a sudden Haley couldn't concentrate anymore because there he was standing over Brooke, with his tall and handsome self. All she did was look into his eyes and then she let out a soft whisper "Nathan"
