When Haley feels Nathan has been making fun of their relationship on One Tree Hill Season 1 Episode 7, she confesses that he showed her his real colors and she fell for it because she's "dumb," but Luke tells her that she's far from it. Instead of saying, "I told you so," he is encouraging and offers her a shoulder to weep on. This shows that even though she thinks he's stupid, he actually sees past her flaws and knows that she's worth loving. Haley was one of my favorite characters on One Tree Hill. I loved watching her grow over the years and become one of the most important characters in the show's history. She made some terrible decisions when she was young that destroyed many lives, but she has worked hard to get herself back on track. Through all her struggles, Haley has always had something that everyone else lacked - hope. Even when there seemed to be no hope left, she would find a way to keep fighting for what she knew was right. No one can deny that she is smart! Haley met Luke when she was a freshman at Tree Hill High School. He was already famous as one of your typical rich kids with a bad attitude. They instantly clashed personalities but also found themselves drawn to each other. Eventually, they grew closer and started dating long distance since Luke was able to stay in Tree Hill while Haley went to school in South Carolina.
