CHAPTER 2

Haley's POV

My whole life I had been the good-girl. Little-Miss-Perfect to everyone I knew, even to myself. I knew that I had good grades, great ambition, and a nice life. But there was always that part of me that no one ever saw. That little part of me that wanted to dance around in my underwear, or break curfew, or become a singer. While all my life, I had dreams of really getting places through my hard work, I found myself having bigger dreams of leaving Tree Hill; of going somewhere where no one knew me, and where I could completely start over. I could be whoever I wanted to be! Who knew, that I really didn't need to leave Tree Hill for that. I just needed to be at the right place, at the right time, on that one day, May 1st. And that's when I finally met the one person with whom I could be myself, and be more than what everyone I knew saw me as. More than their 'Little-Miss-Perfect' idea of who I was. May 1st. I owe everything in me to that one fateful day.

"Haley James, no you did not!" Peyton exclaimed, once she was able to pull her jaw off the floor after I had told her I had just kissed a complete stranger. You see, it's not like I'm some anti-social freak that nothing ever happens to. But yeah, me kissing some complete stranger on the street is about as likely as Paris Hilton suddenly declaring she's a virgin.

"Well, what was I supposed to do? I knew I shouldn't have told Chris I had a boyfriend; I should have known he wouldn't believe me. Am I that bad a liar?" I said. I should really be blaming Peyton for all of this anyways. She's the one who told me to work with Chris on my music! And okay, even though I love her for it, because without her, I would have never even considered singing outside of my shower, but when Chris started hitting on me I freaked out! So, I told him the only thing I could think of, that I had a boyfriend.

"So how was it?" Peyton asked, ignoring my question.

"It was... I don't know..." I said shyly, not being successful in trying to hide my smile. The fact was, I couldn't stop thinking about him. It's not like we shared some magical kiss, it was a two-second kiss used to fool someone into thinking he was my boyfriend. But somehow, this boy... he would not leave my mind.

"Oh, look at you!"

"What?" I said innocently.

"You have that smile on!" She said swatting me playfully.

"What smile?" I said, like I didn't know what she was talking about, and swatted her right back.

"That school-girl I've-got-a-crush smile," She said wiggling her eyebrows. "He must have been some guy, to get Haley James to fall for him after just one little kiss."

"Ok, first of all, I don't even know him so I did not fall for him. And second, I'm never going to see him again, so can we please just drop it?"

"Ok fine."

Nathan's POV

"Nathan! Wait up!" I turned around to see Lucas running behind me, as I walked down the hall toward the cafeteria. Somehow, I hadn't gotten a detention this morning, even though I did miss half of my first class. The one good thing about my father, is that I inherited that good ole' Scott charm... Works every time.

"Dude, I've been calling you for the past five minutes chasing you down the hall, where's your head at?" Oh, just the beautiful girl that randomly kissed me this morning.

"Nowhere. I was just... you know, worried about the Calculus test next period, that's all." I said, coming up with what I thought was the best excuse. And I thought it was working, because for a while Lucas looked at me with a straight face... before of course, cracking up.

"Yeah, right." He said, but then, thankfully moved on, "Anyways, I just wanted to say sorry again for this morning, you know, not giving you a ride and all... Nathan?" I guess I had been spacing out a little.

"Huh?" I said, dumbly.

"Do you forgive me?"

"Forgive you? I should be thanking you, bro!" I said, before I realized what exactly I was saying.

"What? Thanking me? Why?"

"Ummm, well... I mean..." Blankness. That was what was going through my mind. Well not exactly, it did still hold the perfect image of the girl that kissed me... never would that image leave my mind. "Oh, you're going to think I'm insane..." Lucas looked at me weirdly.

"Dude, what is going on?"

"I think I'm in love." I said, trying to look love-struck. How does one truly get the love-struck look down anyhow?

"What?" He said with huge eyes, "Yeah, you're right, you are insane. Have you eaten?"

"No, listen to me. This morning, as I was walking to school, I walked passed St Catherine's, and there was this girl there. And she just came up to me and kissed me. Before I could say anything, or even process anything that had just happened, she ran away."

"Wow."

"Yeah. Man, you should have seen this girl. I know it sounds weird, some girl just going up and randomly kissing strangers, but there was something different about this one. She seemed so innocent... so pure." Just talking about her brought back the sensation of her lips against mine back in me, and I suddenly found the urge to be impulsive, "I need to find her."
