Haley was really and truly impressed. Lucas had been able to go a whole day without annoying her or flirting with her, whether it be in or out of classes. She honestly had thought he wouldn't have been able to do it. Obviously, she'd been wrong. Still, a day without his remarks and that trademark smirk of his was enjoyable. For one, she could actually hear herself think instead of thinking about the things he said to her. But the downside was this. The day did actually feel a bit less...eventful. This was not something that she'd ever admit out loud, but without Lucas's presence the day was a tiny bit more bland. Either way, her Lucas-free day was over and she had to give him his reward. The kiss on the cheek that she'd promised him at his birthday party if he could hold up his end of the deal. She knew he would have liked a real kiss better, but the day she kissed him on the lips was the day the world would end. Seriously.

So, she hung around the common room after classes that day just waiting for him. She'd written a note to him which one of her friends had passed along, so that Lucas would know that he could come get his "prize". The quicker it was over with, the quicker she could tell him to put his attention back on the girls she knew that he really liked. Like Bryn, for instance. It was one kiss on the cheek. Hardly meant anything at all, especially if you got them all the time like Lucas did. Some girls just couldn't help themselves.

Haley decided to read for a bit as she waited for Lucas to show up. Curled up comfortably, she had one of her favorite books open in front of her, those gray blue eyes scanning over the words that had been read time and time again. She was patient, so the waiting wasn't a bother. Besides, something told her that Lucas would be eager to get his reward anyway.
