Disclamer: I don't own One Tree Hill. It's all CW's!

Nathan, Lucas and Haley were best friends since they remember living. It all started when Lydia and Deb were in High School. They lived in Charleston and were best friends. In college they married their boyfriends, Lydia married James (Jimmy) James, and Deb married Daniel Dan Scott the hotshot b-ball player. The two young men were from Tree Hill and had been best friends since childhood. Dan had a previous son from his high school girlfriend, Karen. Lucas Scott was a very introspective boy, blond, tall and even broody sometimes. He got along well with his brother and Haley. Now, they're in high school where things always seem to change, but they were willing to keep a promise made in the first day of middle school.

Luke, will you promise to take care of me? A very scared Nathan asked with pleading eyes.

"of course, lil' brother. Don't worry. I'll take care of both of you" he said looking to Haley.

"No offense Luke, but I CAN take care of myself. Besides, what's to be afraid of? I mean other than awfully dressed cheerleaders; school is going to be easy"

"If you say so. But remember, if you need anything I'm here for you. Both of you, ok?"

"Ok, now, you're just exaggerating. Haley and I are not little kids and we're the same age." Nathan stated the obvious.

"Nate, now you're confusing me. Why did you asked him to take care of you then?" Haley furrows her head thinking about it.

"Because I want to be sure we're going to stay friends, and that we're going to be together through this whole middle school thing." Looking to the ground.

"We'll be together,' til it's over, best friends and brother, Ok?" Lucas asked while motioning for them to join hands. They nodded and broke the circle.

Four Years Later

Since the first year of middle school, every week they ate breakfast in one of their houses, the first week was always at Nathan's house because Lucas always went there to spend the weekend before school starts with his father. So Haley came over at 7 a.m to have breakfast with her friends. When she approached the Scott mansion she rung the bell and waited for an answer.

"Hi Haley, you look gorgeous today. Are you excited with high school?" Dan was always very caring and nice to Haley, she was like a daughter to him.

"Not so much, I mean, it's just school. I save my thrilling emotions for college, I guess." He laughed at her comment; she was keeping it real, Haley's way.

Entering the kitchen she greeted Deb and looked around for the boys. By the look or her face, Deb understood what she was asking and pointed upstairs. Running as fast and quiet as she could she got to Nathan's door and saw it was still closed. She heard the water sounds coming from the bathroom and then Nathan singing the lyrics to T-Pain's buy me a drank, giggling she entered his room and closed the door behind her.

Nathan finished his bath and went to his brother room to wake him up. Opening the door he saw Lucas still under the covers of his bed, he jumped on the bed.

"Luke, wake up, man. It's seven thirty. We're gonna be late for school. HIGH SCHOOL!" he yelled the last part bouncing up and down.

"sleep… lemme… get off…" a very sleepy Lucas tried to continue sleeping.

"C'mon! Haley will be here any minute now, just go before I get dad here to throw water on you"

"OK! I'm up!" Quickly moving out of the bed. "Are you happy now?"

"Kinda. I mean, I'm a High school b-ball player, so I'm as happy as I will ever be."

"You're just being silly little bro. but anyway… now, will you excuse me, I gotta take a shower" he said moving away from his bedroom.

"Fine. I'm going to get dressed. Meet you downstairs, don't be late or Haley will kill you!"

He said holding his door knob.

Without looking into his room he entered and turned around to close the door. He was releasing the towel of his waist when he saw someone in his bed.

"Good morning, Nate!" he jumped back surprised.

"Are you trying to kill me, woman?!" he yelled. And then started panting.

"Oh, c'mon it wasn't that bad… ready to school?" he looked at her like she was missing something, then she realized what it was "ok, ready to HIGH school?" he smirked and answered from his closet "Yep! B-ball, hot girls and parties! I was born ready for high school!" then he came out wearing a baggy shorts, a blue t-shirt that matched his eyes. Haley looked at him and gave him her approval nod exiting the room.

When they got to the kitchen, Lucas was already there. He gave Haley a hug. Than looked her up and down when they set to eat he said between a sip from his coffee cup. "Looking good hales, looking good!" Nathan nodded. "You don't look so bad either, Lucas." They eat their pancakes and eggs in silence. After the breakfast, as usual. Dan took a picture of the trio. They had a bunch of pictures just like that, since they were kids. And as every other year, school started for them.

The year flew by and as they always say High school changes who you are. By the end of the school year, things were the same between them, best friends, but in the high school scale, they were Nathan and Lucas Scott the only freshman in the varsity basketball team. And Haley James, the best tutor of Tree Hill High. Throughout the year, they made some new friends too. Haley had a very close friendship with Brooke Davis, a cheerleader she met while tutoring and her best friend Peyton Sawyer, an artist / cheerleader.
