((A/N Before: I'm sorry, I think Freshmen year would've been irrelevant for this story-sure I'll have flashbacks if I really want to,but this story(prologue) will be starting Sophomore year. As for the outfits- the links should be on my profile shortly. I won't always do that-tell you what their wearing in detail. Just use your imagination. It's what its for. Also some characters may be well OOC- but this is the way I'm writing them.))
Brooke and Haley Davis have been inseparable since the moment the two girls were born. Of course most people would say that it came with the territory of being twins-but if you were to ask either girl they would answer the same, "She's my best friend-my other half. Sure we have the twin telepathy thing going for us-but she knows what I'm doing before I even know it. My sister is my greatest strength and my greatest weakness." They would tell anyone. "Then again because she knows me so well she's also the biggest pain in my ass." The girls would add for humor.
Sometimes the girls were polar opposites, and not just looks, it would make you question if they were related or not. Both were party girls, cheerleaders who were high on the popular status. Rich girls of course, but a surprise to must they were completely humble. Brooke was more of a 'bookworm' of sorts or a fashion designer extraordinare. If she wasn't cheer leading or partying with Haley, she usually had her nose in a book. Usually sitting on her or Haley's bed reading or sewing some new design she had come up with, while Haley was in a chair strumming her guitar writing new songs. Brooke would prefer to spend her free time at the library reading Faulkner or Shaw or even sitting in front of her sewing machine, while Haley preferred to drag Brooke to a concert of some no name band. Of course, being opposites in a way completed the girls. What Brooke wasn't in to, Haley made up for and vise versa.
Living in Tree Hill, North Carolina for their entire lives it was inevitable that they would be the stars of the town. Cheer leading, singing, dancing, student council president. You name it and the Davis twins have probably already conquered it. Most of this was during their freshmen year . While everyone else was worried about finding their classes, the top priority on Haley and Brooke's list was when and where cheer leading tryouts were. Getting out of their drivers car, since their parents insisted they not walk to school on their first day, Haley and Brooke began walking towards the quad. Brooke wearing a pair of apple bottom dark blue jeans, with a light pink Baby phat shirt and a pair of black Jimmy Choo Helena Moc Croc Boots to pull it together. While Haley was wearing light teal Hollister shirt, a black pair of peep toe Jimmy Choos and a pair of Christian Dior jeans. "Brooke, I'm kind of nervous-well stressed really. I know we've been cheerleaders since forever and we made the squad last year, but we were also favored by the captain." Haley said as her eyes began darting in every direction.
"Hey no worries Hales, we've been practicing all summer. Even went to cheer camp and we were on the winning squad. We can't go wrong, no you worry about cheer leading and I'll worry about running for student council president. Let me just find the sign up sheet first." Brooke muttered as they stopped in front of huge cork board next to what Brooke assumed as the outside lunch tables. "Ah ha,found it." Brooke exclaimed as she took the pen from behind her ear and signed the sheet. Looking over at Haley, she laughed slightly to herself as she saw her sister's eyes wander. "Come on Hales, let's go find the music room. I'm sure we can talk the teachers into letting you play the piano, that always calms you down." Brooke said as she looped her arm through hers and began pulling her towards the school.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this. We're going to have to suck up the new captain or whatever and now we might get in trouble with the new music teacher. Speaking of, can you watch your mouth during cheer leading try outs. We don't want a repeat of what happened at last year do we?" Haley said as she followed Brooke into the music room. Dropping her backpack on the floor, she made her way over to the piano and began playing some keys to get a feel for the piano.
"Well if I remember correctly Hales, you were pretty bad ass last year too. I talked back to our 'cheer sponsor' or whatever she was and you talked back to-well everyone else. Unless it's mom or dad, we have a problem with people telling or ordering us around." Brooke said as she stood at the side of the piano. "Anyways, let's get you calm down before school starts. Well both of us. Oh and before I forget, I'm only lugging on cheer bag for the first half of the day, you get it the second half." Brooke said, moving to sit on the bench next to Haley. Brooke let out a soft sigh, before she began lightly playing an intro.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
As Brooke held down the last key, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. "Feel better?" They both asked in unison. "Yeah." They answered again in unison, busting out into laughing.
"Wow, you guys were really good." A voice said from the doorway, abruptly halting their laughing. Taking in the girls appearance, she was wearing a green liquor brand shirt with black jacket with stars all over it and some Kill City black tiger camo skinny jeans the stopped a little before her red low cut converse. "Don't worry about me, I'm not going to tell anyone. I was just trying to get familiar with the school and heard you guys. Curiosity got the best of me." She said as she fixed the backpack strap that was on her shoulder.
"Did anyone ever tell you that flattery will only get you so far without a name?" Brooke stated with a smirk. Glancing over at Haley, she gave her a small nod in the strangers direction. Standing up from the bench, Brooke walked over to the side of the piano and grabbed her bags.
"Oh sorry, I have this thing where I just start talking without thinking. My mom thinks it's because I don't have a filter. I, on the other hand, think it's because when I get nervous my mouth detaches from my brain and I just start talking and I don't realize it until I'm finished." She said ending her rant, effectively getting strange looks from Haley and Brooke. "And I did it again. Where are my manners? Why am I asking you? OK, let me start again- I'm Peyton Sawyer-the new girl who likes to babble." Peyton said with a small smile as she held her hand out towards Brooke.
"Well new girl, I'm Brooke Davis. Nice to meet you and your mouth." Brooke told her in a joking manner. "That over there is Haley Davis, my twin sister if it wasn't obvious enough. New girl huh? We haven't had one of those since what elementary school Hales?" Brooke asked as she let go of Peyton's hand and slung her cheer bag over her shoulder.
"Right, they lasted about a month before moving to-anywhere but here." Haley told her as she slung her back back over her head to her shoulder. "Haley Davis, nice to meet you." She said to Peyton as she shook her hand. "I have English first, what about you?" Haley asked Brooke as she took out her schedule and began looking it over.
"OK, seriously Haley. We have all the same classes, the administrators know better since what they had to deal with last year." Brooke said with a smirk as she handed her own schedule to Haley. "What about you P. Sawyer? Where's your schedule?" Brooke questioned as she held out her hand towards Peyton.
"Oh, right here." Peyton said as she took it out of her back pocket and handed it to Brooke who began to unfold it and read. "So you guys are sisters? Lucky, I'm an only child. What did you mean 'the administrators know better'? " She asked as she took her schedule back to Brooke.
"We basically have you in every other class. Oh that, we got completely separated last year. Only had one class together and the other classes were things we would never sign up for. Of course being freshmen I don't think they were prepared when we-well I went into the office and made the biggest scene demanding they fix their mistake." Brooke said laughing softly, "It was actually pretty funny. I don't think I've even seen someone in the office so scared." Brooke told her as they began walking out of the classroom and down the hallway.
"She wasn't scared B, she was petrified. Warning of advice P. Sawyer. She gives out nicknames like none other, so when you're around her just forget your real name. Also don't piss her off, 'you wouldn't like Brooke when she's angry'." Haley said, getting a playful shove from Brooke. "Don't worry, it's part of her charm. That and the fact that she has a comment about everything and everyone. So you having the problem where your mouth detaches from your brain is perfect, she doesn't have a filter. That's why she keeps getting us in trouble when it comes to cheer leading." Haley told her.
"Oh, that reminds me. You have to try out with us P. Sawyer. After school today, please please please please." Brooke begged. "I'll grovel if I have to." She told Peyton as she dropped her bags and began bending down to her knees. "Since you don't believe me." Brooke stated. "Please please please. You'll have so much fun and you'll be with your two best friends."
"No, it's fine Brooke. Don't beg and ruin your jeans-please. I'll try out with you. My mom told me to get into some extra curricular activities to make friends." Peyton said as they made their way to their English class. "So do you guys have any boyfriends or anything?" She said, attempting to make conversation.
"Please? Like we have time for boys. We are so involved in school and everything else-we'd need the guys that were basically the same as us except for well-male. I mean sure we've dated, but nothing that lasted any longer than two weeks." Brooke said as they took three desks in the middle of the classroom. "So what about you Peyton? Leave a boy toy back home? Where is home to you anyway?" Brooke asked as she began taking out her notebook and a pencil.
"Don't feel the need to answer that, I told you that Brooke doesn't have a filter. B-stop trying to dig up her past. We've only know her less than fifteen minutes,she probably thinks you want to write her autobiography." Haley said as she began writing down lyrics that were popping into her head. "Don't forget that we need to do our predictions since we got home late from cheer camp." Haley told her as she continued writing.
"Right right, but please don't write anything about us finding boyfriends. They'll find us Hales, honestly. Besides, we could always date in college or whatever. All we're going to find now if we start looking for guys to date is little boys. Am I right Peyton?" Brooke said, effectively changing the subject away from their predictions. "Anyways, before Haley over here interrupted you were going yo tell me a little about yourself, go ahead." She told her with a reassuring smile.
"Well I'm surprisingly a New York girl born and raised. My parents moved here because they wanted to focus on being a family more-let's see how long that lasts. My mom makes an effort-but my dad usually has drive by meetings with me. As for boys- surprisingly none in New York caught my interest and if they did they were interested in all of my friends too. " Peyton said. "Maybe a small town boy is what I need." She suggested, more to herself than Brooke.
"Well I'm sure that we can find you one. Even though I'd get yourself settled before you find one, but if you don't want to wait. We can always help you scope out a perfect guy, since we know what the guys are like here. First we have to go shopping, since we got home late from camp- our before school planning just went to hell." Brooke said as she watched other people beginning to file into the classroom.
"Sounds like a plan to me. I can finally go shopping with people that don't have stupid little dogs in their purses or dragging their boyfriends around just to nag at them." Peyton said as she rolled her eyes and laughed softly.
"You know what, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Brooke told her with a dimpled smirk. "Don't you agree Haley?" She asked as she turned her attention to her sister.
"She had me back when she got you to beg, so yes P. Sawyer- welcome to the duo, well now trio." Haley said as she looked up from her notebook and gave Peyton a smile. "Now you two, be quiet because-Brooke- if we get in trouble with the English teacher again. Just bite your tongue when it comes to any assignments or anything. Which I still don't understand when English is your favorite subject." Haley said as she playfully rolled her eyes.
"Not understanding me is just part of my charm." Brooke said softly as the teacher walked in and began welcoming everyone to their sophomore year of high school.
