Chapter Five
Thank you so much for reviewing! Here's a long one for the delay.
"Haley!"
Haley's eyes sprang open then winced at the harsh daylight beaming into her room from her window. Brooke was rushing into Haley's room. She rolled over to look at her alarm clock and saw that the time was 8:42 AM.
"Brooke, what the hell?" Haley asked before turning over. "We can sleep in today."
"No we can't!" Brooke replied hastily. "We have to pack!"
"I packed yesterday!" Haley whined from her bed. "You know, some of us get organised the day before we leave to avoid rushing about the next morning."
"Oh, well whatever!" Brooke replied hastily. "You have to get up anyway, the plane leaves at two and we have to be on the bus to the airport by twelve thirty."
Today was the day they left for the A.D.D. Weekend. All basketball players and cheerleaders attending were excused from classes for the day and were all on the same flight to Washington at 2 PM.
"Exactly, Brooke." Haley said. "Twelve thirty. That's like, almost four hours away! I can get a good two and a half more hours sleep and still have plenty of time to get ready."
"Yeah well, you're awake now so you might as well just help me pack then." Brooke smiled then zipped out of the room.
Haley groaned. She totally had that planned all along.
In the middle of helping Brooke decide what shoes she should take, Haley heard Peyton's voice from the living room of their dorm.
"Hello?"
"In here." Haley replied. Peyton walked into the room with a white piece of paper in her hand.
"What's that?" Brooke asked as she eyed the piece of paper curiously.
"That girl from the squad Sarah just ran me down in the hallway to give it to me. It's 'The Room' list." Peyton replied, rolling her eyes.
"What?" Brooke immediately dropped what she was doing to snatch the piece of paper out of Peyton's hand.
"What's 'The Room' list?" Haley asked.
"The list of the room swaps between the boys and girls for this weekend." Peyton replied, obviously uninterested.
"Oh." Haley said as she felt her stomach churn. In the end, she had agreed to share a room with Cam this weekend but she didn't feel right about it at all. Haley looked at Peyton enviously. She had gotten a room to herself. There were more basketball players than there were cheerleaders attending the event, which meant that one of the boys got a room to himself. As Peyton was the only one out of all cheerleaders and basketball players who didn't want to room with anybody, she got the spare room while everybody else doubled up. Simon and Daniel off the basketball team couldn't find anyone to room with so they had to go together, which was lucky for Peyton who would have had to go with a guy if they had found a girl each. Haley could only wish that they could trade places.
"Wait, I don't get it." Brooke said, frowning at the piece of paper.
"The left hand side has the original room arrangement and the right hand side has what everybody is swapping into." Peyton explained. "The numbers next to everybody's names are the room numbers."
"So, am I in Room 316?" Brooke asked.
Peyton took the piece of paper from her and looked at it. "Yeah, Room 316 with Nick Stafford."
Brooke grinned. "Yay, perfect."
"And Haley," Peyton said, turning to the blonde sitting on the floor. "You're in Room 230 with Cameron Hutchings."
"Great." Haley replied with a fake smile.
"And I'm in Room 234 with myself." Peyton said as she plopped down on Brooke's bed, looking happy with herself. Haley hated her. Not really, but just for that moment, she kind of did. "Also, Sarah said that everyone has to go to their original rooms first and then swap later on because the chaperones check at the beginning."
"Okay, so what is my original room number?" Haley asked.
"Um," Peyton replied, searching the list. "Room 317."
Haley nodded. She tried to build up her mentality about the situation. It really wouldn't be so bad, she liked Cam and Cam liked her. They had been getting along really well lately. He was always coming over to the girls dorm at night armed with Chinese take away and DVD's. Haley hadn't seen a flaw yet. She really had to stop acting like this weekend was the end of the world. She had grown comfortable around Cam, they had kissed many more times since after Gigi's party which was a few weeks back now. Haley had even let him sleep over one night. Just to sleep, though. Haley snapped out of her thoughts, now set on making the most of the weekend.
"Can I see the list, Peyton?" Haley asked with a smile on her face. Peyton handed it over to her and Haley scanned over the numbers and names.

Haley tried not to let her eyes linger on who was going to occupy room 319. She tried to concentrate on the other names and numbers on the page but her eyes kept drifting back. 'Georgia Silveri and Nathan Scott.' Yuck. Well, at least she knew Gigi would annoy him all weekend.
"We better get going." Peyton said. "We have to be out the front of the bus in ten minutes."
Brooke's eyes widened in horror. "Quick, Haley! Throw those shoes in my bag!"
"Finally." Lucas said as he saw Nathan emerge from his room. "We have to leave in like, twenty minutes."
"Yeah, yeah." Nathan replied, only dressed in the blue basketball shorts he had slept in.
"Have you packed?" Lucas asked.
"Yep." Nathan replied as he looked for food in the fridge. "That bag by the door."
Lucas looked over to see a blue Ravens gym bag lying beside the front door.
"That has all your stuff in it?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah. My basketball uniform, a couple of pairs of pants and two shirts." Nathan replied. "What else do I need?"
"Uh, a toothbrush? Deodorant?" Lucas said tauntingly. "Shoes?"
"Oh, shit." Nathan said. "I'll get them in a second. Eating now."
As Nathan sat down to eat, Nick came through the front door.
"Hey guys, have you seen this?" Nick asked holding up a white sheet of paper.
"No, what is it?" Lucas asked.
"It's the list of room changes for this weekend. It was pinned up on the front door." Nick replied.
Nathan made a face as he took a bite out of his toast.
"Oh," Lucas said."Can I see?"
Nick nodded and handed him the sheet.
Lucas saw his name next to Kiara's and scrunched up his nose. Kiara was nice enough and she was definitely pretty but he couldn't help but wish Brooke or Peyton may have asked him. He saw Nick's name next to Brooke's and grimaced. He didn't want to think about that.
"What time do we have to leave again?" Nick asked as he grabbed his bag from his room.
"Uh, in a few minutes." Lucas replied. "Get dressed, Nate."
Nathan rolled his eyes then got himself off the couch. "Fine."
"Want to see the list, Nate?" Nick asked as Nathan was walking towards his bedroom.
"Nope." Nathan replied, slamming his door shut.
The cheerleaders, basketballers, gym coach and three chaperones were waiting in an extremely slow moving line to get on the plane.
"God, how hard can it be to scan a ticket and let somebody on board?" Brooke whined in reference to the flight attendant.
"I know." Peyton replied, readjusting her bag from her right shoulder to her left. "My arms are getting really sore."
"Mmm." Haley agreed, not really focused on the conversation but on the plane ticket in her hand. "Hey, what seat number are you guys?"
"Um," Peyton said as she looked down at her ticket. "20 A. You?"
"I'm 15 C." Brooke said, both puzzled and annoyed. "Why are we so far apart?"
"Well I'm 18 A so I'm guessing it's in alphabetical order." Haley replied, scanning her mind for who else had a last name ending with 'J'. She couldn't come up with anybody.
"No!" Brooke exclaimed. "I am NOT sitting next to Sarah Daniels. We're switching seats. I don't care."
"We might not be able to, Brooke." Peyton said.
"Sure we will. I've done it heaps of times. The flight attendants don't care." Brooke replied.
"No, but the people sitting in the seats might." Peyton said.
"Oh. Well who cares about them! They're moving whether they like it or not." Brooke said defiantly.
Haley smiled. Nothing worked Brooke up more than not getting her way.
"Okay, then who are you going to switch with then?" Peyton asked.
"It seems to be the weekend for switching." Haley observed.
Brooke ignored Haley's comment as she thought. "Well, I don't know. We'll just make whoever the two people in my row are switch with you two."
Peyton and Haley frowned.
"What, and make us look like the bitches who made the people who just got comfortable get up and move? I don't think so." Peyton replied. "Look, I'll sit next to Sarah okay. I don't mind her. Take my seat."
"But what if you're next to someone just as bad?" Brooke asked, not happy with any of the options she was being presented with. "Wait, you'd be sitting next to Gigi! Hell NO!"
"Dammit." Peyton said. "I was this close to getting away with that." She said to Haley, holding up her hand showing a tiny gap between her thumb and forefinger.
Haley laughed. "Brooke, take my seat. I'll take Peyton's and Peyton take Brooke's. I'll endure the wrath that is Gigi."
"Seriously, Haley?" Peyton asked, eyeing Haley questioningly. "It's okay, you don't have to do that."
"No, it's fine." Haley said. "It might give me the chance to finally tell her to shut the hell up."
"Yes, Tutor Girl!" Brooke squealed. In reality, Haley actually wanted to size Gigi up about this weekend. Although Haley knew that she didn't want to know what Gigi was planning for the hotel room with Nathan, she wanted to find out anyway.
"Quick then. Let's switch tickets before we get to the front of the queue." Haley said to the two others. The three switched tickets and formed a single file line just in time to have them scanned. Haley handed her ticket to the flight attendant and waited for the little green light to go off.
"Enjoy your flight, Miss Sawyer." The flight attendant said with a smile which Haley returned. Brooke giggled. She was like a child in the way that she still found switching names to be funny.
Haley entered the aircraft and started making her way down the aisle trying not to bump anybody with her bag while looking for Row 20. As she walked past Row 14 she noticed Jessica sitting down next to James Braden from the basketball team. At first she frowned, and then realised the university had obviously booked the seats for all of them together meaning it would go in the alphabetical order of everybody, not just the cheerleading team. Fear then struck Haley as she realised she probably wasn't sitting to Gigi.
Oh God, what if it's someone worse! Not that it really could be.
She then scanned her brain for who she would be sitting next to – S. Haley stopped dead in her tracks as she looked ahead towards Row 20. There he was - her worst nightmare in Row 20. Raven haired, basketball shorts wearing, looking way too damn good for an aeroplane, guy who she should not be anywhere near. He was sitting on the window seat with a bored look on his face. Haley's horror minimised slightly when she noticed Lucas closing the overhead cabin and sitting down in the middle seat. She stared at the vacant seat next to the aisle that was waiting for her, almost taunting her with how bad the next five and a half hours would be.
"Would you keep moving?" An annoyed voice said from behind her.
Haley snapped back into reality and began to move. "Sorry!"
Nathan's head snapped up at the sound of her irritating voice as he watched her move down the aisle. He noticed her slowing down as she approached his row and then a feeling of intense discomfort rose within him as he noticed her focusing on the empty seat next to Lucas.
No. This cannot be happening.
Haley tried to focus her eyes purely on the seat but couldn't help but look up to see the look on his face when he noticed her coming to sit down. Their eyes met and Nathan's were wide, part in disbelief and part in disgust. Haley quickly looked away and stumbled as she tried to lift her bag into the overhead locker. Lucas, who had been unaware of Haley coming over the whole time due to him reading a book, looked up when he heard her.
"Haley?" He asked in shock. Oh God. Lucas thought. This is not going to go down well at all. "You're sitting here?"
"Yeah." Haley said, trying to make her face land on some kind of neutral expression. She didn't really think it was working. Especially since Nathan looked like steam was coming out of his ears as his eyes were glued on her.
"But I thought it was in alphabetical order?" Lucas asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, it is. Or was." Haley said as she awkwardly sat down. "This is supposed to be Peyton's seat but we switched."
"Why would you switch to here?" Nathan asked with an intensely low and strained voice.
Haley blinked at him a couple of times. She wasn't going to let him think he was getting under her skin.
"Because Brooke wanted to switch, so we all switched with each other's seats." Haley replied calmly, but with a touch of annoyance to make him realise she wasn't going to put up with his bullshit. "I thought I was going to be sitting next to Gigi."
"Since when are you two friends?" Nathan asked annoyed, but slightly alarmed. He knew that Haley wouldn't be able to stand anybody like Gigi, that's half the reason he picked her, so he was surprised. However, he was alarmed more so because of the fact that he was supposed to be rooming with Gigi this weekend and Haley would know that. Even though he hated her and she already knew about it, Nathan didn't want Haley to know the details of what occurs this weekend. He wouldn't be able to handle it.
"We're not." Haley said bluntly. "Brooke and Peyton were the ones who wanted to swap, I just went along with it because I didn't care."
Nathan scrunched up his face at her trying to come up with a good comeback. "Well, as if you wouldn't think about us being here."
"I thought all the cheerleaders would be sitting together, you dickhead." Haley quickly replied, losing her temper.
Nathan's eyes widened. Haley certainly never used to talk like that. "Well, once again the smart girl is really stupid, isn't she?" He replied, knowing that would make her want to scream. Nothing like a reference to the past to make Haley go crazy.
Haley's eyes darkened and her jaw set as she looked like she was going to explode.
"Okay! Guys, seriously." Lucas said just before Haley could open her mouth. "Let's just try and not fight the whole time, okay? Is that so much to ask? There are about 200 other people on board here who really don't want to hear you two screaming at each other for the next five and a half hours. Me being one of them. "
Haley and Nathan continued to make death stares at each other.
Haley nodded. "Yep, that's fine. Sorry Luke." She then broke eye contact with Nathan and turned around facing the front of the plane in her seat. Nathan did the same in a huff.
Lucas scrunched up his face as he put his head in his hands. This was going to be a long flight.
Nathan was frustrated and angry. And uncomfortable. These stupid plane seats were way too small. The university couldn't have sprung for first class tickets? His parents had sure donated enough. He leaned against the window with his headphones over his ears, trying his best to drown out the noise around him so he wouldn't burst with anger. They had only been on this aeroplane for two damn hours yet it felt like it had been about fifteen. After the initial awkwardness and ten minute period of silence, Lucas and Haley had started talking about some book Haley had to read for some class. Once they finally had discussed every god damn thing that can be discussed about 300 pages of words they moved onto the riveting subject of Karen's Cafe. Then this weekend's basketball game. Then the cheerleading routine. Now they were up to reliving past memories that seemed oh so hilarious from the amount of laughter coming from beside Nathan. He wanted to curl up and die. Or maybe just jump off the aeroplane. Anything to get him away from the sound of her voice, her laughter and her happiness. God, it was irritating.
"What about that time Skills fell into the lake beside the rivercourt?" Lucas chuckled.
"Oh my god, he stunk for weeks!" Haley replied, laughing too. It felt good to talk and laugh with Lucas like this. It had been too long. She missed her best friend. It also helped that he was keeping her mind off he-who-should-not-be-named who was sitting beside him.
"Yeah, well you're just lucky it didn't happen to you!" Lucas said. "Remember how you tried to catch that basketball and almost fell in? You're so lucky Nath-". Lucas stumbled on his words. In the moment, he'd forgotten all about the past and the awkwardness surrounding them.
Haley stiffened. "Yeah. I remember."
Nathan had had enough.
"Move, I need to go to the bathroom." He said in an irritated huff as he pushed past Lucas and Haley.
Lucas and Haley's eyes followed Nathan until he reached the restroom.
"Sorry Hales. I totally forgot about –" Lucas began.
"Don't be." Haley smiled. "I did too."
Lucas returned the smile and tried to study his best friends face. She used to be a lot easier for him to read. Haley used to be very simple with her feelings, she was either happy or sad or bouncy or tired. But now all her emotions were complicated and hidden, like you needed some kind of secret code to see them. All Lucas knew was that he didn't have it.
Nathan exited the plane restroom and immediately had to grab onto the walls to keep his balance. The plane had just suddenly jolted. Just as he was about to take another step, it jolted again and his hand made a loud thud against the restroom door. He heard a beeping sound come from above his head.
"Hello Passengers." The Pilot said from the speakers. "You may have noticed the seatbelt sign has been switched on as we are heading through some turbulence. Please don't be alarmed but all passengers must return to their seats immediately with their seatbelts on and tray tables stowed."
Nathan rolled his eyes. Great.
He quickly rushed back down the aisle and saw Haley clutching Lucas' hand. She hated plane turbulence. It annoyed Nathan that he remembered that about her, but it annoyed him even more that he cared.
"Quickly, back into your seat." A flight attendant said as she tried to hurry Nathan into his seat.
"Sorry, it's the window one. It's hard to get to." Nathan replied as he approached Row 20.
"Well, the two of you can just move along and let him sit in the aisle seat. We need everybody to sit down immediately." The flight attendant said to Lucas and Haley before rushing off to take her own seat.
Lucas and Haley quickly shared an uneasy glance before scooting over. Nathan stared at his awaiting seat for a moment before sitting down.
Should've just kept my mouth shut. Why did I tell her I was sitting on the window seat? Why?
Haley tried to get comfortable in Lucas' previously warmed seat between the two Scott brothers but it was physically impossible. Combining the fact that the bane of her existence was rubbing shoulders with her and that the plane was constantly jolting up and down was certainly not a good mix for Haley. The plane stopped moving for a few moments and Haley breathed a sigh of relief. Until she suddenly felt the plane take a huge drop, leaving her stomach 50 feet in the air above her. She snapped her eyes shut and instantly squeezed onto the hands of the two boys beside her. They both squeezed back, but after a moment Haley felt Nathan's hand go limp as she clutched onto it. When Haley felt the drop end, she remained silent with her eyes closed waiting for another jolt but no more came. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes. As soon as she did, she realised what she was doing and brought both her hands back down to her lap.
"Sorry." She mumbled to the both of them.
Lucas smiled at her. "It's fine."
Nathan just stared straight ahead with an unchanged expression on his face. Haley took a deep breath, put her earphones in her ears and shut her eyes. She needed to pretend she was somewhere other than here.
Finally, they had all arrived in Washington. Lucas, Haley and Nathan had all practically sprinted off the plane without saying a single word to each other as soon as the seat belt sign went off.
"Tutor Girl, oh my god." Haley heard Brooke whisper from behind her. "I'm so sorry! Was it terrible?"
Haley turned to see Brooke's curious yet apologetic wide eyes. "Pretty much."
"Haley!" Peyton almost yelled across the airport. "I'm so sorry, I'm so so so sorry!"
"It's fine." Haley said. "I survived didn't I? Who were you guys next to?"
"Jake." Brooke replied. "I forgot how nice he was."
Peyton smiled slightly, although a little disappointed she didn't switch with Haley instead of Brooke.
"I was in between Sarah and Connor. Wasn't so bad. Sarah's pretty annoying though." Peyton said.
"You're telling me." Brooke said in a knowing voice.
"Seriously, you two are complaining after I just got put next to him?" Haley asked.
"Very true." Peyton replied. "Sorry, really. I had no idea. Why didn't we think that the boys would be with us?"
"Because we're stupid?" Brooke said, trying to make light of the situation. Haley grimaced. Yeah, stupid. Just like Nathan had said.
"Well, maybe you are Brooke but..." Peyton began, laughing at Brooke's expression as they all piled onto the bus that was taking them to their hotel.
"Okay!" Coach K yelled in the foyer of the hotel to the swarm of college students around him. "I'm going to call out each of your names once and once only. Come up and get your key, then go to your room and we will be coming around to check on you all in an hour. There will be no misdemeanour or idiocy in this process. It's already eight thirty at night and I'm tired. So everybody get to your room and be there when we check. If my time is wasted, your asses are going home."
Everybody nodded, while a few of the basketballers smirked to each other. A typical Coach K speech. Once everyone had gotten their room keys and the Coach and chaperones had left, Gigi gathered everybody up.
"Room changes at ten thirty. Don't be late or stuff it up." She said to the group. Most people smiled and nodded then parted ways.
"Okay girlies. See you tomorrow!" Brooke said to Haley and Peyton, pulling them in for a hug. "Peyton, don't have too much of a depressing night all by yourself. Seriously, I don't know what the hell you were thinking with all these fine boys around."
Peyton rolled her eyes. There were some things Brooke would never understand.
"And Tutor Girl," Brooke said, turning to Haley. "Hope you having a romping night and make sure you tell me everything tomorrow."
Brooke winked at her before giving them both a final goodbye and heading off with Kristy to her first room.
Haley gave Brooke a half smile as she left.
"You know, you don't have to do this you know." Peyton said, observing Haley's expression. "You can just come bunk with me. Girls weekend and stuff."
Haley quickly smiled properly. "No, Peyton it's fine. I want to do this."
Peyton eyed Haley uneasily. "Okay, but just call me if you change your mind."
"Thanks." Haley said gratefully, giving Peyton a hug before she left with Gigi.
"I know I only have to spend the next hour and a half with her, but pray for me anyway." Peyton whispered into Haley's ear.
Haley laughed. "Will do."
Peyton walked off with Gigi and Haley then turned to see Vanessa waiting for her. "Sorry, let's go."
Vanessa nodded and they headed towards the elevators together.
10:26pm. Time seemed to be whizzing by. Only four minutes till the boys started moving.
"So, Haley," Vanessa started. "You excited about rooming with Cam? He's so hot, you're really lucky."
Haley gave her a half hearted smile. Vanessa was nice, but pretty vapid. There was never much to talk about with her.
"Yeah, sure. Who are you rooming with?" Haley thought she better ask out of politeness.
"Jack." Vanessa replied with a smile. "It was kind of last minute but he's cute. Me and him actually have this room together ."
"Him and I." Haley corrected out of habit.
"Sorry?" Vanessa asked.
"Oh, um. I meant cool." Haley smiled, covering up her nerdiness. She needn't be reminded of her correcting days. "Jack's nice."
The clock reached 10:30pm. "Okay, well I better go." Haley smiled. "You, uh, have fun with Jack."
"I will." Vanessa smiled, practically rushing Haley out the door.
When out in the corridor, Haley saw Stacy, Peyton and Jessica all coming out of their rooms too. They all had to move down to the second floor. They all joined together and waited by the elevator. As the buzzer went off, the elevator doors opened to reveal Simon and Brandon stepping out.
Stacy smiled at them. "Have fun guys."
Obviously she'd forgotten Simon was rooming with Daniel because they couldn't find girls to partner up with.
The four of them got into the elevator and got off at the second floor. As they got off, a few more guys were waiting to go up to the third. They each dispersed to their separate rooms, Peyton giving Haley one last reassuring smile before entering into her room.
Haley took a deep breath outside Room 230, then swiped her key card and entered. She heard the tap running in the bathroom and saw a blue suitcase lying on the ground. Cam was already here. She smiled then rested her bag down beside his. As she did so, she heard him coming out of the bathroom.
"Haley? What are you doing here?" Haley heard a deep voice say from behind her, that was certainly not Cam's.
Haley quickly spun around. "Jake? What do you mean? This is my room with Cam. 230. What are you doing here?"
Jake frowned. "No, this is my room with Amy. Room 230." He said showing her his key.
"What? That doesn't make sense." Haley said, puzzled as she looked down at her own key. She pulled 'The Room List' out of her pocket. "Look, here. Room 230 – Cameron Hutchings and Haley James."
Jake looked even more puzzled than he did before. He went over to his bag and pulled out a white sheet of paper. "Look on mine, it says Room 230 – Amy Niece and Jake Jagielski."
Haley looked down at Jake's sheet in surprise. Then it hit her. When they got on the elevator Simon had been getting off at the third floor, which was the girls floor. If he was supposed to be rooming with Daniel he should have stayed on the second floor where all the guys were supposed to be. Somebody had given the boys and the girls two different lists.
"We've gotten different lists." Haley said, stating the obvious. "Hang on, I'll go check with the others."
Haley walked out into the hall and looked to see if anybody else was outside. Just as she saw a door beginning to open, she heard a booming voice from behind.
"Excuse me? What do you think you're doing?"
Haley turned around startled to see Coach K staring down at her with fierce eyes.
"Um, sorry I was just..." Haley scrambled, trying to find the right words to say.
"You were just what?" The coach asked. "This is the boys floor young lady."
The coach looked inside her room. "Jagielski! "
"Hi Coach." Jake said nervously, jumping up from the bed.
"Get your things out of here girl, and get back to your right room." Coach K said to Haley viciously. "I'll deal with you in the morning Jagielski."
"Yes coach." Jake replied, giving a sorrowful glance towards Haley.
"Where's the boy who was supposed to be in here with you? He hasn't switched too has he?" The Coach demanded before he left.
"Uh, I was in here alone." Jake lied, not wanting anybody else to get in trouble. "I had the spare room. I just invited Haley over. Nobody else has moved."
Luckily for Jake, the coach was too tired to follow up his statement. "Fine, get to bed."
Haley was rushing out the door with her bag, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Hurry up, missy." The coach said to her. "And don't even think about trying to come back down here. I'll be guarding this hallway all night."
Haley nodded then quickly rushed over to the elevator. She could feel the coach's eyes on her until she got inside. She quickly pushed the Level 3 button, praying Vanessa and Jack weren't already having sex so she could come inside. Unfortunately for her, when she got to the door of Room 317 the sounds that were coming from within weren't promising. God, way to get a jump on things guys.
Haley heard footsteps coming from down the hall and panicked, quickly rushing to the door next to her. She couldn't hear anything from inside so she banged on the door praying somebody would let her in. Haley heard the footsteps getting closer. The door of Room 319 swung opened and Haley rushed inside, slamming it shut before she even had the chance to look at who had opened it for her.
"I'm sorry, I got caught and needed a room and – " Haley started to explain, then stopped as she looked up and saw all too familiar electric blue eyes staring down at her.
This isn't happening.
Please Review :)
Also, I haven't decided on who Lucas/Brooke/Peyton should be with yet but I want to have by the end of next chapter so please leave any last minute requests. Thanks guys!
