What if?
Chapter One: The Way We Are
By: Nowaytonowhere
Summery: What if everything known to Tree hill wasn't? What if Brooke is not miss popular? What if Lucas, the biggest Jock of the school, was dating the dark Haley James? What if Brooke had a twin Brother Riley, and is best friends with Nathan?
Of course, getting all these characters together there's going to be drama. And lots of it.
Author's Note: So, I haven't wrote a FF in awhile! I'm aware that I haven't updated my other story... in almost a year, but I had a writer's block and never updated, so maybe, I'll update it after I finish this. I actually got the idea for this story last year, and i just found it, and I felt like continuing on it... so I guess that's what this is. Before you read this, you might wanna read this. (Its basically like the summery with a few extra details that might clarify a few things up!)
Brooke, is not miss popular. She's a lot like how Haley was in season one. Brooke's best friends with Nathan, who's also a lot of a loner. Brooke, has a twin brother Riley, who also doesn't have that high of a social status. She also has 2 little sisters-Michelle, who's 13 and in 8th grade, who's basically like the way brattier version of how Brooke is on the actual show. Then there's Holly, who's 8, and Reese who's 5.
Lucas, is the popular guy, who is dating the dark,(well, not dark, but kind of like the way Peyton was in season one.) bitchy, popular, Haley James who expresses her emotions through her music. Peyton is best friends with Haley, but is a bit more on the nice side.
Oh! And Nathan and Lucas are not related, they just happen to have the same last name.
I hope you enjoy chapter one!
Brooke and Nathan were walking down the street talking to one another, engaged into a very deep conversation. Maybe thats why it hit Brooke as such a surprise when all of the sudden she tripped on her shoes and landed on the ground.
"Ouchhh." Brooke groaned as she got up.
Nathan couldn't help but laugh. "Are you okay?" He asked her, still laughing.
"Shut up!" Brooke yelled, trying to keep a straight face, and stuck her tongue out at him, and walked away, so he wouldn't see the huge smile that was plastered on to her face.
"Oh, c'mon Brooke! Don't get mad!"
Brooke said nothing, and kept smiling to her self, while she walked even further away from her best friend.
"Hey! Wait up!" Nathan said trying to catch up to her. Brooke tried to run away from him. This was almost starting to turn into a game of 'tag'. "You know, if you run to fast you're going to trip again." Nathan said grinning.
Brooke finally took a break, and sat down on the grass next to the sidewalk. Nathan took a seat next to her. "So why exactly are you wearing Riley's shoes?" Nathan asked her.
"I wore mine out, well, er... according to my mom, anyway...but, personally, i don't really mind having a few holes here and there."
"Well, if she cares so much, why doesn't she just buy you a new pair?"
"Because that would mean that either she would have to take me to the mall, or, she'd give me money to go buy new shoes, and either way, I'd end up having to go to the shopping, which you know I don't want to do. And on top of that I would have to take Michelle with me and if Michelle wants to go than of course Holly's gonna want to go and-"
"Okay, I got it." Nathan said interrupting Brooke. "Your family is way too big."
"Welcome to my world."

"Hey baby!" Haley said as she walked up to her boyfriend. She grabbed his shirt and started to kiss him. Lucas pulled away and smiled. "Don't bother changing after practice. You're coming to my house." Haley said seductively.
"I can't. I gotta go to the tutoring center."
"Since when do you tutor people?"
"Do you seriously think that Lucas Scott is smart enough to tutor someone?" Peyton said cutting into the two's conversation.
Lucas shot Peyton a look. "Obviously, someone else gonna tutor me."
"Who?" Haley asked.
"Some girl." Lucas said as he searched for the piece of paper that he had written her name on. "Brooke Davis?"
"Never heard of her." Peyton said.
"Neither have I."
"Yeah, well. She's probably just some ugly, nerdy girl with no life" Haley spat and walked away.
"What was that about?" Peyton asked Lucas.
"She's probably just jealous."
"Of some girl that we've never even heard of, thats supposedly nerdy, ugly, and has no life?"
"Thats Haley James for you."

Lucas had been searching for Brooke in the tutoring center for a good 20 minutes. He had no idea who she was or anyone else who was there. He was was about to leave but he over heard a conversation.
"Hey Riley, will you pick me up after I'm done here?" Brooke asked her twin brother after she spotted him walking down the hall.
"Yeah, sure. What time?"
"6ish."
"I'll be there."
"Thanks, Riley."
"No problem, Brooke."
He did say Brooke, didn't he? Lucas thought to himself. And even if he did say Brooke, Brooke was a common name...
Lucas walked up to the desk Brooke was sitting in and asked, "Are you Brooke Davis?"
She looked up from the paper she was working on and said, "Yeah, thats me."
"Well, according to this piece of paper," Lucas held up the paper. "you're my tutor."
"Okay, have a seat." Brooke said while stacking her papers into a neat pile. "So, uh, I didn't catch your name."
Lucas looked at her in disbelief. How could she not know who he was? He was Lucas Scott. The Lucas Scott.
"Oh, uh, I'm Lucas. Lucas Scott." He said and stuck out his hand.
"Nice to meet you." She said and shook his hand.
"Yeah, uh, same here."

Brooke and Nathan entered the Davis household. There was an instant noise of screaming kids, from every which direction.
"Thank god you're home Brooke. I need you to watch Holly, Reese, and their friends. I have to run out to the store." Brooke's mom, Kate, said exasperated.
Brooke sighed. "For how long?"
"About 45 minutes." Kate said grabbing her purse and heading towards the door. "Love you." She kissed her daughter's cheek and fled out the door.
"Yeah, yeah."
Nathan followed Kate's lead and opened the door to leave, but Brooke stopped him. "And where do you think you're going?"
"Home."
"Nathan, please?" Brooke asked desperately.
"Noway."
"But Nate! They like you! They actually like you! You even said you liked them too!"
"I do like them... but they have friends over too. Thats them times 20! They're already noisy as it is!"
"Nate, please! ...don't leave me here alone." Brooke asked, with her 'puppy dog' face on.
Nathan sighed. "Fine, but you owe me!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Brooke said, jumping up and down. "I love you!!!"
"You should."
The two walked into the living room, where the kids where playing. It was horrifying. Reese and two of his friends were jumping up and down on the couch, screaming, while Holly and the three of her friends were playing dress up and running around.
'Why on earth does mom let them invite so many people over at once?!' Brooke screamed in her mind.
Brooke clapped her hands and raised her voice in attempt to get everyone's attention. No such luck. "Everybody...please just listen..." Brooke strained.
Nathan watched, as his friend tried to get everything under control. After Brooke had given up, he decided to give it a shot. He went into the kitchen, grabbed a pot and a pan and went back into the living room. He banged the two together and yelled, "Everyone listen up!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gave him their full attention. Brooke looked at him in amazement. "Okay, will all you guys just quiet down?" Nathan asked... What else was he supposed to say? Was he supposed to discipline them? Nathan hesitated ."Uh, you can take it from here." He whispered to Brooke.
"Will all of you guys just please try not be so loud? Nathan and I are trying to-"
Michelle stomped into the living room and interrupted her older sister. "What she's trying to say is that if you guys don't shut the hell up she's gonna kick all of your scrawny little ass' out of the door."
Reese, and both his and holly's friends looked at her in shock. And even though Michelle yelling like that still caught Holly by surprise, she finally got over the fact that her sister was no saint. Brooke and Nathan were, of course, expecting that of her, if not more. They knew her well enough to know that she speaks exactly what is on her mind no matter what it is. But Reese, not to mention both his and holly's friends, were still grasping the concept and still looked at her in shock every time she yelled at them. How naive.
"She said a bad word." One of Reese's friends whispered, but Michelle, of course, being Michelle, heard.
"No shit sherlock." She spat. "Now, if I hear you guys again...you don't even want to know." And with that, she turned around, stomped up to her room and slammed the door.
The whole room was instantly overwhelmed in silence. Nathan and Brooke walked over to the couch.
"I'm surprised she hadn't done that sooner." Nathan said.
"Tell me about it."
They had a conversation, and eventually, the others joined in, but making plenty sure that they didn't make too much noise.
After a while, Kate had come back from the store, and all the kids parent's came to pick them up, except for eva, who was staying for dinner.

As Nathan walked home, which is only a block down the street, he thought about how weird it was that Brooke and Michelle sisters. You would never know based on the way they act and their personalitys. Sure, Brooke and Michelle looked a lot alike but they were two very different people. Michelle liked to flaunt everything she could, well, at least everything a 13 year old could anyway, while Brooke tried to hide her curves underneath sweaters. Brooke wore almost no make up at all while Michelle had been wearing make up since she was 9 years old. Michelle doesn't do well in school but, of course, has a very high social status, while her older sister is a straight A honor student but is barley known around her fellow classmates.
But this is who they were, the davis sisters, wether they wanted to be or not.
