Chapter 1

The Start of Something New

Haley James pulled her auburn hair into a quick pony-tail, and considered whether she had enough time left to put on any form of make-up, before her best friend Brooke Davis arrived to give her a ride to school. She decided to at least make an effort since it was her first day as a junior at Tree Hill High. Brooke had practically dragged her out to the mall the day before, and they had done some serious shopping, mostly for Haley. She was now wearing her newly acquired dark rinse jeans and a really cute (according to Brooke!) black babydoll top. She applied some mascara and eyeliner to accentuate her hazel eyes and a slick of lip-gloss for good measure. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling today was going to be a special day. Finally she grabbed her rucksack and rushed out the front door of her house. Looking at her watch, she saw that she was on schedule. Brooke was supposed to pick her up any minute…

As she stood outside in the morning sun she contemplated the year ahead. 'I'm such a freak, I'm probably the only high school student who ever looks forward to the academic part of it all. Being a junior is going to be great, Haley thought. I'll continue working at the tutoring centre and still have time to focus on my studies and my future. That and of course, hanging out with my best buds Brooke and Lucas. Thinking of Brooke she realized that her adorable friend still hadn't showed. Being late the first day back was sooo not the best way to start the year. Haley said out loud: 'Awww come on Brooke, where are you?' A deep male voice answered instead 'Hey pretty, you talking to me? Because for you, I could be Brooke, hell you can call me anything you like!' Haley turned around in surprise to find the owner of the teasing voice. But nothing could have prepared her for what she saw next.

All of a sudden she was looking into a pair of the most brilliant green eyes she had ever seen. Set in a chiseled face now sporting a mischievous grin. If only it ended there. Not only did this guy have the face of an angel, he had the body of an Olympic athlete. She could see his well defined muscles under his black t-shirt clearly. He was in a word: hot hot hot. Okay so in three words. Too stunned to speak Haley just stared open-mouthed at the blonde Adonis before her. So instead he continued: 'Well, what'll it be? Can I be your Brooke, and then we can run away together?' Haley was annoyed with her sudden inability to speak. What the hell? Who was this dude? He looked one or two years older then her, and apparently thought it was normal to come up to girls in the street who were just minding their own business (even if they had been talking to themselves) and engage in weird conversations with them! Haley suddenly spoke: 'I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to you, and I'm waiting for a friend.' He smiled as he spoke again: 'Well good luck with that, see you around, pretty.' He looked down at her for a few more moments with that heart-breakingly gorgeous smile and instead of moving on he started to walk in to Mrs. Winchesters house next door.

Confused, Haley called out to him: 'What are you doing? That's private property you know.' 'Yeah I know' he replied as he turned around clearly amused 'I'm Dean Winchester, this is my aunt's house, my brother Sam and I are going to be living with her from now on. I guess that makes me your new neighbor, so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other pretty' Again Haley seemed to be at a loss for words. What was wrong with her? Luckily, just then Brooke pulled up in her black BMW. Finally!!! Without saying a word to him she hopped in the car and Brooke sped off down the street. Wow, if this morning was anything to go by, it was definitely going to be an interesting year…

A/N: Okay like I said please review, this is my first time writing anything, although I've been a bookworm my entire life. Let me know if you have any ideas, comments. Should I continue? Thanks - Angie
