Hi! Heres the second chapter all about Haley, please review! x

Chapter 2

A couple of blocks away Haley James woke up in her bedroom. Posters of books and authors on the walls, an old computer which all of her 6 siblings have shared, a bookshelf covered in textbooks and novels with maths equations on the walls. A typical nerds room.

If you first saw Haley James you'd describe her as a typical girl. Because she's a nerd and knows it and doesn't care. She doesn't believe in stereotypes. You know braces, glasses, cheesy grin? Haley just loves school, her friends and family.

Haley's mom Lydia is like a big shot lawyer. She was before she first had Matt her oldest sibling, when Haley turned 4 her mom returned to work after Jimmy, Haley's dad injured his back and was unable to work. That's when Lydia realised how much she missed it and devoted herself to her work. Jimmy raised Haley, Taylor and Michael while the other children were at college and Lydia was at work. Lydia travelled alot and one night Jimmy fell down the stairs and done his back in for good. That's when Haley met her new nanny Marie, or second Mom as Haley called her when she was younger.

Marie also had to raise Taylor and Michael whilst looking after Jimmy. So Haley spent alot of time at kids day care centres. That's where she met Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott: The best friends she could ever of wished for.

Brookes father Richard is similar to Haley's Mom, a workaholic. Which meant Brooke was rich too. That's the only similarity Haley and Brooke have. But they love each other and it's their differences that make them such good friends.

Haley doesn't care about the money and rarely spends it so she has a huge trust fund. Haley set it up to be responsible, because that's who she is.

Unlike Haley and Brookes friendship Haley and Lucas have alot in common, they met at a reading group when they were 5. That's the main thing they have in common. Reading. Lucas and Haley love novels, Lucas is smart just not Haley smart.

Haley gets high grades in her classes and is at the top of all of them, she's most likely to become the valedictorian of the whole class.

Haley does alot, she's a tutor, she works at Lucas Moms cafe 'Karens Cafe', she takes AP classes which require tons of homework, she hangs with Lucas and Brooke at the river court and goes shopping with Brooke at least once a week.

People wonder how she fits it all in but she manages and loves it.

Last year a very shocking thing happened for Haley. She got a boyfriend. Jake Jagielski, he moved from Savannah and met Lucas at the river court, he immediately liked Haley and asked her out. She still remembers that day..

Flashback-

Haley was at the rivercourt with Brooke, Lucas and Jake. Haley noticed Brooke checking Lucas out, It was obvious she liked him and the same for Lucas. They just wouldn't admit it.

After staring smugly at Brooke for a minute (who didn't seem to notice) she turned around to check Jake out. Jake had only been in Tree Hill for a couple of weeks but he fitted in with them pretty well. He was good at Music like Haley, Great at basketball like Lucas and had good fashion sense like Brooke. He was awesome. Haley liked him even though they'd only just met a few weeks ago, she felt some comfortable around him like she's known him her whole life.

He shared Haley's talent for music, he could sing, play the guitar and piano just like her. Haley didn't play for many people except Brooke and Luke, but of course she made an exception for Jake.

After breaking out of her daze she realised they'd stopped playing and Jake was whispering something to Luke, who was grinning. Lucas and Jake walked over to the bench where Haley and Brooke were sat and Jake nudged Lucas. Which caused Lucas to fake cough. Haley stared at him confused ''You ok, Luke?''

''Yeah, Um Brooke do you want to go for a ice cream?'' Lucas asked her, then winked

''Sure'' Brooke shrugged and started walking towards Lucas's car

''Wait, I want ice cream'' Haley stated like a little girl and done a little girl pout

''I think you'd have more fun here with Jake, right Jake?'' Lucas turned to Jake and quietly laughed,

Jake just stared at him clearly embarrassed. ''Sure, Um that's if you want to I mean Hales?'' Haley blushed as he said her nickname, she loved how her and Jake were so close already.

''Ok'' Haley said confused, what's going on? She thought to herself

Lucas walked to his car still laughing and Jake took Brookes place on the bench.

''So..'' Haley said, Jake always started the conversations. This was the first awkward moment they'd shared so far.

''Haley, I know we've only known each other for a few weeks but I feel like I've knew you all my life'' Haley blushed as he repeated her thoughts from minutes before. ''So I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go on like a date, and then if you'd like to see how it goes from there?'' Haley had never seen Jake nervous before he was twiddling his thumbs and biting his lip every time he paused.

''Jake, I feel the same I'd love to!'' Haley grinned and Jake and suddenly saw the calm wash over him.

''Phew'' Jake wiped his hand over his forehead dramatically. This made Haley giggle, that another thing she liked about him. He was so funny! ''So I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8?'' Jake asked, now with a sudden confidence.

''Yeah, sure'' Haley smiled this was her first official date. Ever. She felt the nerves starting to creep him but tried to forget about them until Jake was gone. Jake took Haley's hand and pulled her of the bench and they continued to walk hand in hand to meet Brooke and Lucas. Where Haley would get her ice after all.

Flashback over-

Haley and Jake have been dating for 6 months now and it's going well. They haven't said the L word yet and Haley was happy about that, because she couldn't lie to Jake and she could never hurt him. She just didn't feel like that yet and she was hoping that she would soon.

After Haley was showered and dressed she drove down to Karen's Cafe where she would unexpectedly meet the a new Scott who's moved in town..

Don't hate me for Jaley! They won't last long I just thought they'd be good together for now. Peyton will be included in the chapter and also Andy because I love Him!
