When Nathan pulled up to Haley's house, he stopped in the driveway and sat there. Was he really ready to go out with Haley again? Was he ready to put his relationship with Brooke behind him? He shook his head. What was he doing? This is what he wanted, to get Haley back, wasn't it?
He walked up to the door and rang the bell. Haley appeared, and stepped out. "You ready to go?" she asked him.
"I am if you are. You look good, by the way."
"Thanks. You're not so bad yourself."
They arrived at Tric and walked in to find that the band had already started to play. "You want something to drink?" Nathan shouted over the music.
"Sure!" Haley yelled back.
"I'll be right back!" Nathan wandered away.
Rachel and Brooke stood a ways off. "Look, it's your favorite person." Rachel said and pointed at Haley. "She's all alone, maybe Nathan dumped her."
"He wouldn't do that." Brooke said as she glared at Haley.
"You mean like he didn't do to you?" Rachel asked. "I'll go punch the little bitch if you want me to. I've just been dying to find a reason to do it."
Brooke rolled her eyes, "No, don't. And he didn't dump me."
"Then what did he do? Let you down nicely? Please. There is no such thing." Suddenly, Rachel's face changed. She cleared her throat, "Let's go over here. Now." She grabbed Brooke's arm and steered her away from Haley.
"Rachel! What are you doing? Let me go!" Brooke shook her off and whipped back around to face Haley. What she saw made her jaw drop. There was Haley, alright, but attached to her was a very happy looking Nathan.
"Brooke…" Rachel began.
But Brooke just stood there. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"If you're seeing a slut and an even bigger slut, then yes."
Brooke tipped her head back and downed the contents of the cup she had been holding. "I'm going to need to find myself a boy by the end of the night." She said, a determined glint in her eye.
