"The moment I saw you, I knew you were trouble." He chuckled as he placed a sweet, loving kiss on his wife's forehead. "But that moment, I also fell in love with you."

Haley James shrugged on her leather jacket, which underneath of she was wearing a simple black t-shirt, and black skinny jean's and black strappy-heals. She fancied the color black, it usually suited her mood, which rarely changed. She grabbed her brown leather shoulder bag, and walked out to her restored 1968 black, Mustang convertible. It was basically her baby; she put all her pride and effort into it. Her mother had left it to her when she passed away quite a few years before, before she'd even had her license, because her mother knew how much her daughter loved the car.

Haley carelessly threw the bag into her Mustang, and hopped right into the drivers seat without even bothering to open the door. She smirked proudly to herself, started the engine, and headed for Tree Hill High, her new personal hell on earth.

Haley was nineteen, she was supposed to of graduated years before. But since she moved from Canada to the United States in the summer she was supposed to be entering sixth grade, they placed her in fifth since the systems were completely different in the two countries. She was furious, of course, but there was nothing that could be changed. Haley James was never nervous, about anything, but she knew that rumors would fly once people knew how old she was.

She hated North Carolina with a passion. She's recently transfered from Chicago, where she had lived with her aunt. Haley loved her aunt, they got along quite well, but then her aunt got pregnant, and Haley knew that wasn't going to work for her, having a screaming baby in the house? No thanks. So, Haley packed up her things, and decided to give Tree Hill, North Carolina a try, all by her lonesome.

Haley knew she had the option of forgetting about school altogether, since legally that was her choice, but she at least wanted to graduate high school. She wasn't the brightest or smartest, but she knew that she could do one more year of the thing. Plus she didn't have any adults to go home to afterward, she had her nice house in the finest area of Tree Hill, courtesy of her brother, who generously offered to pay for the home for his "baby sister". Her brother lived in Los Angeles, therefore they didn't get a lot of time to spend with each other, and he thought the least he could do (since he was insanely wealthy,) was buy her a nice house she could enjoy.

"Here goes nothing," Haley whispered to herself as she parked her car in the small, nothing special, parking lot to the small, nothing special high school. "I went to elementary schools bigger than this!" Haley thought to herself, remembering her elementary school back in Chicago, even back in Canada. "Why am I doing this again?"

Rachel Gatina and Peyton Sawyer, the infamous duo of Tree Hill High, stood together, watching as everyone prowled over their fresh meat. Peyton was unamused, seeing as this girl obviously had the same style as her, and that would not do. It pissed her right off, actually. Peyton was known for being unique, and extremely badass, and she liked it that way. She didn't need some tramp coming in and ruining everything she had built, now did she.

Rachel, on the other hand, thought that the girl was even more unique and badass looking than Peyton. Not to mention... she was hot! Peyton had some serious competition.

"I don't like her," Peyton mumbled bitterly, glaring at the girl who was walking up to the school. Peyton didn't like her for a number of reasons, one being she had a nicer and more expensive vintage car than she did, and a more expensive looking leather jacket than she had.

"She looks cool," Rachel mused, walking away from her very pissed off friend and going over to meet her hopefully new companion.

"Bitch," Peyton spat back in a whisper.

As Haley was making her way to the front doors of the small school, she was interrupted by the high pitched, severely annoying voice of a redhead, who apparently went by the name of 'Rachel'. "Hi, my name's Rachel Gatina, and you are...?"

"Haley James," Haley finished for her. Rachel didn't seem to preppy, she actually looked like someone Haley could have some fun with. "So if this is your high school, is your elementary school like the size of a corner store or something?"

Rachel laughed. "Pretty fucking much, I hate this stupid small town."

Yeah, Haley was definitely starting to like this Rachel girl. Rachel seemed to have a little different style, maybe more of a social bee, but Haley wasn't looking for a little minien or anything, she was looking for someone she could relate to a little bit, and have some fun with. When she looked ahead, there was a frizzy, curly haired girl glaring at her. 'Now that's the type of person I don't want to be friends with.' She thought to herself. "So what do you guys do for fun here?"

"Depends what kind of "fun" you're looking for," Rachel smirked. "I mean, occasionally someone throws a wickedly awesome party, but that's rare. Most of the time I hit the clubs, it may not seem like it but there are some really fun and interesting men in Tree Hill, but not the high school ones." Rachel told her, Haley nodded her head. "Don't even try with any of these dumb jocks, they act like they're experienced, when really I de-virginized them all."

Haley chuckled. "Wanna show me around the town tonight? I could use some fun."

Rachel smiled; Peyton didn't know what she was missing, this Haley didn't seem so bad at all. She was definitely reserved, and definitely a badass, but Rachel knew she'd be having lots of fun with her, maybe even more fun then she'd had with Peyton. Peyton seemed like a big badass, but she wasn't really. She wore dark clothes and drove a dark vintage car, but it was more like an act. "Sure, how about you come to my place right after school and we can get ready together?"

"Sure, sounds great."

"Perfect." Rachel grinned."And just so you know, it's rare that I do this... socialize with people I barely know, I mean don't get me wrong I socialize with everyone in the school, but I actuallylike you."

"So should I be honored?"

"Definitely." The girls were now standing outside the office, already running late for class. Haley didn't really care, and neither did Rachel. They could stand out there all day for all they cared. "Anyway, I guess we should make an appearance in class today, huh? What do you have first?"

"Um, I have Mr. Rae, English I think." Haley told the redhead.

"Great, me too!" Rachel beamed. "Just so you know, I love to piss him off, so you can totally help me. He'll just love that we're both coming in late."

Haley smirked. Maybe Tree Hill wasn't so bad after all.

A/N: So, this is my first story. This chapter was meant to be longer, but I liked where it cut off. I plan on making my chapters much longer, but I thought it was appropriate to keep it short since it's my first chapter and all and I mainly want to see if people are interested.

I intend on there being "Naley", but in order to see that, you'll have to read and review! :) Aren't I just evil? So yeah, Nathan will come into the story, but I won't give any spoilers away! Your favourite One Tree Hill characters will be in here, I promise, and your not-so-favourites too of course :)

Yeah, Haley's "out of character", I've added my own twist to her I guess. Maybe some will like my idea, some won't. Whatever! Personal opinions, totally cool.

I don't give spoilers away, however, if you're confused about something I've mentioned or anything I've said in my story, please let me know either in a review or message me because I don't want you guys being confused over my story!

So anyway, my name is Kailyn, and I'm from Canada, and I lived in the States but only until I was seven so if I mention something and you're not from Canada and you don't understand it or something... I apologize! There's quite a few differences between the two countries, like here... our legal drinking age is nineteen, and yours is twenty-one, and some provinces it's eighteen! (Na na na na boo boo!) ;) I'm the nicest, I know.

Okay well I better stop before my authors note is longer than my chapter.

PLEASE, let me know what you think! *Please & thank you, I mean.*

THANKS A MILLION,
Kailyn

PS: To avoid confusion, "The moment I saw you, I knew you were trouble." He chuckled as he placed a sweet, loving kiss on his wife's forehead. "But that moment, I also fell in love with you.", well, it's into the future, and you'll figure out who it is and who he's saying it to on the last chapter of my story... :) I already know where I'm going with my story, but if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
