An Anonymous Truth

Dear single boy,

I for one am so proud of you for taking my advice. Just kidding you didn't or you would have ended it for the two of you weeks ago. I mean come on any one could tell that it was just sex for you two. Smart girl though regardless of what you think. I mean common sense ways at least, the way you described her to be she would normally just push all thoughts aside and stay with you for social reasons maybe she's not as dumb as she appears.

As for Nathan he actually surprised me. You see he approached me yesterday more timid then cocky too (I know I know your thinking wow Nathan not be cocky it happens I guess). He asked me for help with his classes. Get this he even remembered my name. It's to bad at all other times he's a jerk and he happens to be related to my best friend. Don't tell either of them I used the related word either. Oh yeah where was I going with this. Hmm I suppose Nathan would actually be kind of cute if he could be nic….

A knock was heard at Nathan's door. With a sudden jump he realized he had dozed off while reading Haley's letter. Nathan turned to the doorway only to see the last person he thought would be there. Well besides Lucas or Haley.

"Nathan can we talk?" Her voice shot through the room. It was a timid and hurt voice.

"What now? You said all you had to say yesterday. Why are you even here?"

"Look I'm sorry about yesterday I was a little bitchy and a bit to hurtful and I'm sorry I just I just miss you okay…" Peyton's words hit him like flying daggers.

The old Nathan would have been the first one to accept this apology and his prize that came with it but the Nathan in front of her just blankly stared at her with no emotion showing through his face and no body language to see what he might be thinking.

"Nathan can you just same something? I mean anything please?"

"Look Peyton normally I would be thrilled to have you here and for once not be the one apologizing. Things have changed though. We are and never were good together. We both know it was about sex and social status and that's all. You're a great girl and your really hott… I mean beautiful. There is a guy out there for you who will make you more then happy but I'm sorry that guy just isn't me."

"Thank you Nathan."

"For what?"

"Finally being honest with me. Even if it is the end you have finally really been honest with me. For a brief moment you let me see the guy I always knew you could be. Look whoever this girl is that did this to you don't ever let anyone change it about you."

With that Peyton turned around and walked off. In her mind she knew they would never be together again but that moment in time where she truly saw the real him would never leave her memory or her heart.

With the feeling of knowing him and Peyton were truly over Nathan picked up the letter and read on.

nice all the time. Well maybe not all the time. If he showed that side he showed yesterday people might actually think he was a good person. Maybe I should tutor him but I just don't think I could do that to Luc. I mean he hazes him all the time and its starting to get ridiculous.

Oh yeah and do you know who I am? I mean your last letter said pretty girl. How would you know if I was pretty or not? I mean come on you can't possibly know. I'm not willing to get an F on this assignment because you did some detective work so you better hope you don't know!

Always and truly yours,

Miss knows it all.

Nathan couldn't believe how stupid he was yet again. How could he say pretty girl. He had to pretend he didn't know who she was and now he might have blown that. He began to hit his head on the desk when he remembered how she had said Nathan was kind of cute. Maybe through the letters he could get to her. He could prove he was a good guy and when he was ready to make his move in person he could truly show her the real him… at least he hoped he could.
