Chapter 5
"Haley…Haley…roomie…sleeping beauty…WAKE UP." It was Brooke trying to get
Haley out of bed the next morning. Haley didn't feel like doing anything, she felt as if
yesterday had been the worst day of her whole entire life, it didn't even feel real.
"Hmmm…" Haley grunted "I don't feel great, I don't want to go."
"What you mean you don't want to go, today you have your first assessment, come on
babe get up."
"It doesn't matter…nothing matters…I can't go back…I'm gonna be the laughing stock of
the college." Haley said putting the duvet over her head and burying herself deeper and
deeper.
"Aww Haley, what happened….who was it…what did he do."
Haley jumped out of her duvet, "How do you know it's a he?"
"Trust me I have loads of experience with these things." She said winking.
Haley hesitated and bit her lip nervously. Then decided to finally tell Brooke because she
was the only closest thing to a friend Haley felt like she had.
So she filled Brooke on the details and how she'd known Nathan from before and what
had happened in their past. But she never mentioned his name he was always mentioned
as "this guy" or "the guy" or him etc etc.
"O….my…..god." Said Brooke in complete shock. "Whoa I have never ever experienced
anything like that…you are so unlucky falling in love with a guy who doesn't even like
you back." Said Brooke without thinking.
"Erm…Thanks." Said Haley not knowing what else to say.
"Oh sorry Haley… I… I just don't know what to say honey I'm so sorry maybe you
should look for someone else I mean there's loads of guys and if he's interested he'll
become jealous and come running to you." Brooke said whilst hugging Haley.
"Thanks but I think guys are just too much pain and too big of a hassle for me." Said
Haley going back into her duvet.
"I have a plan let's change your image." Said Brooke, her eyes lighting up at the thought,
that it almost looked dangerous.
"What…what do you mean change my image, what's wrong with the way I look." Haley said
offensively.
"Nothing." Brooke said defensively. "You look great but we need to work on you know showing
your figure, bit more make-up…"
"No no no no no no no." Said Haley quickly. "I am not gonna dress like a Barbie doll, I mean the
whole extra-mini-skirt-that-just-covers-my-bottom doesn't work for me and the tops that look like
bikinis don't work for me either I mean those kind of girls give the wrong impression, I mean they're
the kind of girls like…"
"Me." Said Brooke hurtfully.
"O noooooo." Said Haley quickly shaking her head vigorously and sitting up again. "Brooke your
beautiful and the things you wear they make you…YOU and I'm not saying your that kind of girl I'm
just saying those clothes aren't me and If Na…he starts liking me with my change of clothes that
proves he never like me for ME but for this girl I've become…if you get me." Said Haley.
"Yeh I get you, I'm sorry buddy if there was or is anything I can do please tell me." Said Brooke
getting ready to leave.
"Yep sure, thanks." Haley said smiling warmly.
"Oh and Haley I suggest you get a move on to your lesson because your assessments in an hour."
Said broke just before leaving.
"O.k." Said Haley going back into bed "WHAT!" She jumped out and ran into the bathroom.
"Wow that was a hard test hay." Said one of Haley's class mates who she'd never really talked to.
"Erm yeh I guess so." She said shrugging her shoulders.
"O I'm Jay." He said putting forward a hand.
"Hey." She said shaking it. "I'm Ha…"
"Haley I know…" He said blushing slightly. "Your hair looks nice, you done something different to
it." He said smiling.
"Erm well no…besides leave it out which I hardly do, but like today I woke up really late out of bed
because I felt like crap because if the day before and I wasn't gonna come till my room mate
reminded me I had assessment so…." Haley paused to take a breath and had realised she'd been
talking loads, "why am I telling you this…that was supposed to be a thought." She said as soon as
she saw his reaction
He chuckled, he was cute Haley hadn't really realised him because he seemed like the popular player
kind of guys, he was tall, had dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. He was nicely tanned and had a
perfect smile with dimples. Which made him even cuter but Haley thought to herself he's probably
just another phoney like Nathan so forget him he's probably after some action and that's all.
Haley hadn't noticed that he was still walking with her because she was so lost in thought and without
realising had yawned.
"O am I boring you know." He said jokingly.
Haley smiled, she felt like she hadn't in such a long time "No course not just had a rough night."
"Oh I see." He said winking and nudging her.
"Noooooo." Said Haley going bright red "Why do you people always assume that."
"You people…"He said offended and raising his brow.
"No you know what I mean …o Gawd I am such…"
He chuckled "It's so easy to get you all hyped up…we wouldn't want a pretty little thing like you
worrying now would we."
Haley felt her stomach do a somersault he called me pretty thought Haley he thinks I'm pretty. She
seemed amazed she didn't think that she'd be his kind of girl; she thought he'd go for the girls.
"You seemed lost in your pretty world… what's up." He said nudging her.
"Nothing." She said feeling really hot all of a sudden. "Whoa I feel so hot all of a sudden." She said trying to change the subject.
"You look it to." He said winking.
Haley's mouth fell open "Shut-up." She said whacking the side of his arm and laughing.
They seemed to be getting on really well, and Haley's morning seemed to be recovering, basically she
started to feel a tad bit normal.
Jay seemed like a great guy and Haley actually felt happy. Jay seemed to be quite the hunk
of college because he seemed to know every girl that had walked past him and Haley had noticed
quite a few girls giving him the eye but he never paid attention to them, all his attention was on Haley,
which made her feel special.
Jay and Haley both went there separate ways and had exchanged phone numbers not that Haley had
wanted to but Jay insisted and even if Haley didn't give hers, she would have to take his. So she
decided to give it in the end, Haley had felt like she'd found a friend, a decent friend, from the entire
population of the college. Haley was walking around the gardens of the college which was the most
beautiful place out of the whole university. She admired the flowers and how they'd been arranged to
make different shapes and the fountain in the middle which lit up at night. She sat on one of the
benches and admired the beautiful scenery, she felt as if she was in a movie, she giggled at the thought
of it.
"What's so funny?" Said a familiar voice in a friendly tone.
Haley looked up how dare he she screamed inside. Haley didn't know what to do she felt tears
welling up in her eyes don't cry don't cry she thought to herself. She didn't want to speak to him,
she wanted to beat him slap him but staring at him still didn't make her hate him enough, she still felt
something for him. Haley opened her mouth to speak, nothing came out, and she tried again but still
nothing. She buried her head in her hands and hoped she'd just imagined him but when she looked up
she found him sitting next to her. Haley shot him a daggering look, breathing hardly and trying to stay
calm.
Nathan opened his mouth to speak, but Haley didn't want to hear anything from him, so instead of
walking off she took her ipod out and put it full blast.
"Look Haley…I like you I really do and I'm sorry for being such a jackass, I know your too good
for me, your too good to be true for me and I know I don't deserve you but please at least let us be
friends, and I'll show you I'm not that bad, I really want you to be close in my life and if you don't
want it to be the way, that I want it to be we can always….just…just be friends, I seriously don't
mind." Nathan said slowly turning to look at Haley
There was no reply, Haley face was blank why the hell is he staring at me she thought.
"Haley…Haley please say something." Pleaded Nathan.
Haley took out her headphones "What do you want me to say?" Said Haley monotonously.
"Well a reply to what I said, what do you think?" asked Nathan.
"Erm…" Haley thought to herself I have absolutely no idea what he said could he not see I was
listening to my music. "Erm what did you say?" She asked embarrassed.
"O…you didn't hear it…of course…you were listening to your music…Nah it's…its cool don't
worry about it." Said Nathan hurtfully. "I jus wanted to say I'm sorry…" Haley forced a laugh, "No
I'm serious, and I don't know what came over me, I just don't want you to think I hate you." Said
Nathan hesitantly.
Haley forced out another laugh "Wow you do think so much of yourself don't you and if you think I
ever want to speak to you again YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND YOU JACKASS... U THINK I WANNA TALK TO YOU HA, I HATE YOU. You really are something." Said Haley
screaming at the top of her lungs. With that Haley stormed off pushing Nathan aside.
Nathan felt as if he'd been slapped, he didn't know what to do he just stood there for what seemed
like forever. I can't…jus let her leave I have to …talk I need to. With that thought he ran after
Haley.
Everyone seemed to be in a lecture or lesson so Nathan asked some of her friends if they'd seen
Haley, they said she was in the toilets and had been for a long time. Nathan ran towards the toilets
and waited outside till most of the women had walked out. Then he pushed the door open and
screamed "Haley…Haley you in there." There was no reply, so he decided to storm in, there was no
one in the toilets which Nathan was greatful for.
There was one cubicle occupied and a girl came out of there sniffing "Haley."
She looked up and was about to run back into the cubicle when Nathan ran up to her and pulled her
away. He was holding onto her arms with a firm grip.
"What are you doing in here?" She asked without looking at him.
"Haley I need you to know something."
"I don't want to know it." She tried pushing Nathan away but he wouldn't let go of her though.
"Nathan let go of me." She said through gritted teeth.
"No." He said calmly but getting frustrated.
"Nathan let GO OF ME, or I will scream." She said raising her voice slightly.
"No." He said again staring into Haley's eyes and not breaking contact.
Haley tried pushing him away one more time and stepped on his toe. Nathan got angry and pushed
her against the wall, they were so close that Haley could feel his breath on her. They were so close; it
looked like they were kissing Nathan's lips were like an inch away from Haley's, her heart was
beating super fast and she was so scared she felt paralysed. Nathan moved closer and pushed her
right against the wall so Haley could feel his body against hers. She didn't know what was happening
to her insides, it was going crazy. They gazed into each others eyes and Nathan still seemed to be
coming closer Haley didn't know what to do, this was the moment of her dreams but she didn't know
if she wanted it at this precise moment.
