"Nathan!" Haley called as she ran down the hallway, catching up to him, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Nathan turned to see who was behind him, and was surprised to see Haley, out of breath. "Uh, yeah. What's up?"
"What are you doing this weekend? Cuz I was thinking maybe we could go see a movie, you know, just…"
"Haley." Nathan stopped her in the middle of her sentence, "What are you doing?"
Haley just looked at him, confused, "What do you mean?"
"I mean this. Us, doing something. Together. You think that's a good idea?"
"Just because we broke up means we can't be friends?"
"It doesn't work that way, Haley. You broke up with me, and now you want to be friends? I don't know if I can do that right now."
Haley sighed, "The truth is…I miss you. I miss spending time with you. We used to have so much fun, why throw that away?"
Now it was Nathan's turn to sigh, "Just…let me think about it. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
She smiled, "Yeah. See you."
Nathan watched her walk away, and thought about the last time he had let her walk off without a fight. He had let her walk out of his life once, he was not about to do it again. She was right, they did have fun together. "Haley wait!"
She turned, expecting him to say something, but he was quiet for a moment. "What?" she said expectedly.
"How about tonight?"
"Ummm," Haley said, confused, "Tonight for what?"
"You want to grab some coffee or something?" he said.
"That would be great."
Nathan nodded, "Great. So…I'll see you after school?"
"Yeah…bye."
"Bye." They went their separate ways. Nathan wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole experience, but he knew one thing. Brooke was not going to be happy.
