Note: I just reread the last chapter and I realized that there were no lines separating events so it was just a whole lump of text that didn't make sense without the lines. I'm sorry about that and I hope that didn't confuse you! I'm really sorry you guys D:
"Welcome to your Senior year of high school." Ms. Adams announced to the class of excited teenagers.
"This year will definitely be fun, but also a challenge. You are all about to embark in this journey I like to call AP English Language and Composition Four" she said in a daunting tone.
"Some of you are jokesters." She said nudging Tim Smith who was laughing with another jock.
"Some of you are prom queens." She said taking away a blonde girls compact mirror.
"While others of you are pregnant valedictorian's" she concluded as she pinched Haley's cheek.
The class came to an uproar and the vibe was surprisingly nice. Ms. Adams didn't seem as bad as everyone was making her out to be, but yet again, it was only the first day of school.
"Now. You all have a homework assignment that is due tomorrow." She said walking towards the board.
In big bold letters she wrote out: "MY NAME IS _ AND I AM A _ BECAUSE_"
"This is just one sentence assigned for tonight. But I want you to think carefully about this. Throughout this whole week I'll be learning who YOU are as a class and as individuals."
Haley smiled over at Nathan and found herself blushing as he winked at her.
"Also, I'll be assigning seats tomorrow. Let's just say I don't like separating couples" she winked at Haley.
~BELL RINGS~
"Haley! I'd like to talk to you." Ms. Adams asked politely as the class dashed for the door.
"Yes?" Haley replied sweetly as Nathan stayed behind with her.
"Oh Nathan you can go on to your third period class, the conversation I'll be having with Haley will take a few minutes" she smiled at him.
"Alright, well Hales. I'll see you later ok honey?" he said as he kissed her on the lips and left the class.
"It's really nice to have you in my class this year Haley" she said hugging her sweetly.
"What is all of this about?" Haley asked worriedly.
"Nothing wrong! It's just that, I was looking over at my student's scores from last year and I've never seen such a young person with such impressive testing scores." She bragged.
"It's really nothing…" Haley said shyly as she self consciously put a hand to her stomach.
"Please Haley, you are an outstanding student by the looks of it." She continued.
"Well thanks" she blushed.
"And I don't want to seem rude but how are you planning to deal with the baby?" she asked curiously.
"I'm going to love them, take care of them, smother them with kisses" Haley smiled at the thought.
"Them?" Ms. Adams said with eyebrows raised.
"Yes. I'm having twins!" Haley practically glowed.
"Congratulations!" she said as she smiled at Haley.
"Thank you"
"Well Haley, I guess the point of me talking to you after class was to tell you that if you ever need help with anything; extensions on papers, projects, anything, just tell me. I don't understand what you're going through since I've never had a baby but I'd love for you to let me help you." She smiled at her.
"Thanks Ms. Adams, that really means a lot to me. And I'd actually like if you'd give those extensions you offered me to Nathan instead." Haley asked honestly.
Ms. Adams initially looked shocked at the request but her expression softened as she began the realize Haley's caring nature.
"He honestly needs the extensions more than me and I know how much he'll be going through with basketball and the babies. I don't want him juggling so much" she said with a worry-filled tone.
"Alright. I'll give him extensions as well, but you two cannot take advantage of my kindness!" She said with a stern finger.
"We won't." she smiled happily.
"You, Mrs. James-Scott better be getting to third period!" She said handing her, her pass to class.
"Nice talk with you Ms. Adams!" she said as she waddled her way to her Environmental Science class.
"Late on the first day!" Mr. Salsbury jokingly scolded Haley as she waddled through. This wasn't the first year she had him as a teacher, in fact she had him for biology her sophomore year. She knew he was a nice guy and she loved him so much.
"I'm sorry" she said as she struggled to take her seat in the small desk.
"Oh! Uhm, sit where you like!" Mr. Salsbury said forgetting about her huge belly that was forming.
"Remind me to change the seating chart" he teased as he helped her over to one of the lab tables instead of the student desks.
"Stop you're embarrassing me Salsy!" she said with the nickname she always called him by.
"Ok now class welcome to AP Environmental Science!" he said reintroducing himself.
"The syllabus and course weekly schedule is being passed around." Haley listened as she got a highlighter and pen out.
She finally got her copy and looked over the four page syllabus and schedule. "God… what am I getting myself into?" she sighed as Salsbury continued to yap about the class.
"How were your first four classes?" Nathan asked as he took Haley's binders and books and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Surprisingly well, all my teachers are so understanding to the pregnancy." Haley smiled at him as he began to put her books onto the appropriate spots of her locker.
"Really? They're not scolding you for being so reckless and not thinking? Or maybe that Nathan Scott is ruining your life?" he said slightly pained.
"No! Why?! Did some teachers tell you that?!" Haley said getting riled up at the thought of teachers being so rude to him.
"Hales, let's not make a big deal about this." He said trying to calm her down.
"How can I NOT make a big deal about this?! You are not ruining my life. Please don't listen to those bitter teachers of yours." She said coming into his embrace as she looked up at him.
"Sometimes I feel like I am, I mean, look at you, you're pregnant" he said feeling guilty.
"Natey… come on, I love you and you know that I can't live without you" she said kissing him passionately as she went on her tippytoes.
"I don't know… it just sucks when you know what people think of you, it's different if you just don't know. Ms. Galan and Mr. Schafer hate my guts, they told me, and I quote, that 'I'm corrupting poor Haley and ruining her chances of getting into elite colleges'"
With that Haley stormed off to the science and math buildings of Tree Hill High and were going to give a nice talking to Ms. Galan and Mr. Schafer. "HALES! Where are you going?!" Nathan exclaimed as he tried to run over to her.
"Ms. Galan, can I please have a word with you?" Haley asked politely as she watched Ms. Galan take a bite of her salad from home.
"Sure, Haley. What's up?"
"I do not appreciate you telling Nathan that he's ruining my chances of getting into elite colleges."
"I'm sorry Haley, but you're pregnant at 17" she said in a condescending tone.
"So… I am also married" she said raising her hand to show her ring on her finger.
"Haley, I know what I said was kind of mean, but it's true. How do you expect to take care of a baby and go to an Ivy League?" she asked with her witty looking face.
"Ms. Galan I'm sorry if what I'm about to say you think is rude, but it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. How I live my life is not your problem, and going around judging Nathan before you even get to know him is ridiculous." Haley said in one long breath.
"AND he is NOT corrupting me whatsoever. I've known Nathan since I was born so PLEASE think before you say anything to Nathan again!" she practically screamed.
Ms. Galan looked at Haley with awe, she couldn't believe that this little girl just said that to her.
"Haley James, you do NOT speak to your teachers like that!"
"WELL I'M NOT YOUR STUDENT!" she yelled as she began to turn pink from anger.
"And it's Haley James Scott!" she said stomping her way out.
"Where'd you go?!" Nathan exclaimed as he approached a fuming Haley in the hallway.
"Ms. Galan's room!" she said still upset from what just occurred. She knew this wasn't like her but if it was affecting Nathan she knew it had to be handled somehow, regardless of it being mean or not.
"Hales… you don't need to be fighting my fights for me, especially in your state." He said gesturing at her large belly.
"It's just so frustrating that people are looking down at you when you're amazing" she said moving close to his chest.
"I know, I know, but to them I'm just the Raven's Basketball Pointguard and not Nathan Scott loving husband and father-to-be. While you're senior class valedictorian" He said to her truthfully.
"It's not fair to you and it's only the first day of school, someone could take my spot." She bargained with him.
"Not a chance, my girl's a star, number one" he smiled as he looked down at her pouting expression.
"You gonna eat that?" Haley smiled at Lucas as she eyed his French fries on his tray.
"I was going to but who could deny a pregnant cutie pie like you" he teased as he handed over the fries.
"Thanks I love a bunch" she mumbled as she stuffed her face with fries.
"Very attractive Hales." Brooke teased.
"She gets hungry after cussing out science teachers" Nathan chimed in.
"So not funny, I did that for you…" she pouted with a bit of ketchup on the corner of her mouth.
"You have a little something…" Lucas said as he wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.
"Thanks Luke" she giggled as she continued to stuff her face.
"You think you'll be able to find a dress with me for Homecoming dance?" Brooke asked Haley.
"What?" she said looking up from her sandwich.
"Homecoming dance. Next month. Dress." She said slowly.
"Oh, uh…" Haley said looking at Nathan for approval.
He nodded yes and she quickly replied with a "sure" to Brooke.
"I'll nominate you two for King and Queen" Brooke told them excitedly.
"Oh nononono" Haley said in flat our refusal.
"Why not babe? It'll be fun" Nathan said trying to convince her.
"No Nathan…" she said with sad eyes, but it was as if he ignored the look on her face.
"Sure, sign us up!" Nathan said to Lucas and Brooke.
"Will do! I'm sure you two will win" Brooke said as the lunch bell rang for 5th period.
"Got to go, see y'all later!" Brooke said happily as she grabbed Nathan by the arm and skipped to art class.
"Luke let's go to AP Art now!" Haley said grabbing his arm, imitating Brooke, he simply shook his head in amusement.
After explaining the curriculum for the art class Brooke excitedly chose a seat next to Nathan at the two-seat table.
"So… Homecoming King and Queen, eh?" Brooke said happily as she elbowed him in the stomach.
"I want to do something special for Hales, I know I can gather up the votes to win."
"She didn't seem too excited about the idea," Brooke replied.
"I know, but I want her to feel like a queen for a day, you'll see." He smiled down at Brooke.
"You two are so in love I swear it drives me crazy"
"Welcome to AP Studio Art!" Mr. Haber introduced himself.
"This seems lively" Lucas laughed as Haley tried to get a comfy position in her seat.
"Here Hales," he said grabbing her legs and putting them up on his legs.
"much better…" she said like a happy dog as she leaned back into her chair.
"The purpose of this class is to develop a portfolio throughout the whole year, it'll consist of 27 pieces of art with a recurring theme/focus in them."
"Choose a theme and stick with it, something that inspires you, you'll be finishing a project once a week, you pace yourselves, I'm just here to supervise, good luck" Mr. Haber chuckled.
"What theme are you going to choose Luke?"
"I'm not sure yet, maybe literature…" Lucas pondered.
"And you Haley Bob?"
"I'm thinking Roses" she smiled.
"Roses? And why is that…?" he asked confused.
"Well Nathan decided that he wanted to name our daughter Rose" she smiled.
"Hales, that's great" he said happily.
"Yeah, I think it'll bring the best out of me." She said as she began to sketch on a piece of paper.
"Yay, free period!" Haley stated as she reached her locker.
"Thinking of staying here or going back to the house first?"
"Uhmm. Can we go back to the house but you drive the long way so I can draw?" she smiled at him.
"Uh, sure baby" he said grabbing her sketchpad from her hands so she could pack away her other stuff.
"Ok, let's hit the road!" she said grabbing his hand and walking towards the student parking lot.
"I'm thinking of a fire-y red dress" Brooke stated as she held the long garment towards her body.
"That'd look nice on you" Haley smiled as she waddled around to attempt to find a dress that'd fit her.
"Anything you like?" Brooke asked while searching through the lighted displays.
"I like this one but it's so expensive…" she stated as she held up a cream dress with black lace trimming.
"It'd be perfect on you!" Brooke said excitedly.
"It probably won't fit though…" Haley said trying to stretch it over her body.
"Try it on in the fitting room and we'll see." Brooke instructed.
"Ok" Haley replied.
"Come out Hales." Brooke asked in a loud tone.
There was no response from the room.
"Hales…?" Brooke said as she tapped on the door.
Haley slowly opened the door and a tear-filled face appeared.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm so fat and can't fit anything!" Haley sobbed after her fifth attempt at a dress.
"You're pregnant Hales" she patting her belly.
"I'm ugly and bloated and I'll just be BIGGER than this a month from now" she sobbed even more at the thought of getting bigger.
"Haley love, you're beautiful. You're gonna be Homecoming queen!" Brooke smiled.
"I don't want to be homecoming queen I want to be skinny again!" she said as she slammed the door in her face.
"These moods of hers are just, fan-TASTIC" Brooke said sarcastically as she waited for Haley.
"Did you find anything nice?" Nathan asked as the two girls walked through the door.
Brooke was shaking her head no in warning of not to say anything but she was too late.
"NO!" Haley said sobbing on Brooke's shoulder.
"What happened?" Nathan asked as he quickly went over to his crying wife.
"I'm too fat for all the dresses there." She cried.
"Haley, that's not true"
Again, Brooke didn't shake her head no quick enough.
"IT IS TRUE I TRIED ON 12 DRESSES!" she sobbed into his chest.
"Oh Hales… don't cry!" he said wanting these tear works to stop.
"You married a cow" she said making herself feel worse.
"You're not a cow, you're just pregnant" he said looking at her seriously.
"No, I'm definitely a cow. Pretty sure there's milk in my breasts" she said negatively.
"Haley Waley" he said with a cute little boy voice.
"Nathan, don't start…" She said knowing what was coming.
"Come on Haley Waley don't cry" he said smiling widely.
"Natey…" she pouted
"Don't you dare!" she added.
"TICKLE MONSTER!" he said tickling her sides.
"WAHH, HAHAHA, OH MY GOD, NATHAN, WAHH!" she laughed loudly.
"Again with this cuteness!" Brooke stated as she watched the two love birds.
"Take it back!" Nathan said as he held her paralyzed state in his arms.
"No!"
"Say you're not a cow."
"I'm a cow" she said to annoy him.
"Take it back…" he warned with a hand ready to tickle her.
"I AM A COW!" she said bravely.
"OH YOU!" he said tickling her again.
Brooke continued to watch them and decided she should go because they wouldn't even notice that she was leaving.
"Bye you two" she whispered happily as she walked away from the tickling frenzy.
