"Yea that's my name...Hallie right?" Nathan said a lil annoyed. 'Oh my gosh tell me he didn't hear me' was the only thing that came into Haley's mind. But it was obvious that he did. Everyone was staring at her and she could never think of a time when she felt more embarrassed then she did at that moment unless u recall the time she slipped on a packet of ketchup in the café and fell right on her butt. Suddenly, Haley's face was bright red and she was blushing. Nathan just looked at her. He had never noticed how beautiful she was especially when she blushed. It made her long auburn hair stand out even more. But then again he had never noticed he,r all he knew was that she was some friend Peyton knew.

"Umm it's haley by the way?" she corrected him remembering that he had gotten it wrong

"Oh yea whatever." Nathan said shrugging his shoulders as if he didn't care. He went on drinking with his drink as if Haley was invisible.

"Well" Peyton said breaking the silence that had fallen upon the group. "Haley would like something to drink?" Peyton asked putting on her best hostess smile.

"Umm I don't know if that's such a good idea really" Haley said a little hesitantly

"Come on have fun enjoy the party" Peyton said putting her arm around Haley's shoulder. Fun. Have fun. How can I possibly have fun when Nathan Scott was over there acting like Mr. Hot Shot again with all the girls. If anything all Haley wanted to do was leave and never see him again. I mean who did he think he was, Gods gift to women. Well of course he did because everyone made him believe he was but she wouldn't. Just then, Theresa came over and put her arms around Nathan.

" Hey Nate I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get a drink and talk you know catch up" she said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. I couldn't believe that she kissed him on the cheek I mean what did he see in her. All she was, was a girl who had no brains and common sense and just hung on his every word. The thought of that made her laugh as she thought how that was probably exactly what he wanted someone like her to boost his ego. Suddenly, everyone was looking at her again. "What's so funny Haley" Theresa asked annoyed. Oh no did she do it again. Let her emotions that were supposed to be in her head come out of her mouth again. "Come on what's so funny Haley, did you just catch a look at your outfit in the mirror." Theresa said as she started laughing and Nathan smirked. Haley looked down. There was nothing wrong wit her clothes she had on some jeans and a cute tank and some cute shoes. Well she thought they were cute. But the one think she couldn't stop thinking bout was that smirk that Nathan had on his face. It was the smirk that made the girls melt and she could actually feel her knees getting weaker. Haley quickly came out of her little world and saw Theresa and Nathan in a little make out session and she knew it was going to be a long night.

"Umm yea Peyton" Haley whispered almost interrupting the moment that was about to happen between Lucas and Peyton. "I think I'll take that drink and make it a double" she said groaning. There was no feeling about it. This was definitely gonna be a long night.
