Chapter 1 - First Day
My name is Peyton Sawyer and I'm new in Tree Hill. I used to live in California and was a popular cheerleader, but none of my numerous friends knew how broken up inside I really was. No one knew the real me and I guess that will never change. I don't let people in so I guess it's my own fault. Now my Dad has decided that its time to move and well he chose Tree Hill. He works on a dredging boat and apparently there are more work prospects for him over here. One thing for sure he'll be gone all the time like he was back in California so I guess Tree Hill, California what's the difference right.
She stopped writing, she had never really kept a diary before but she thought it's a new place so a new tradition.
"Peyton are you ready? You don't want to be late on your first day"
"No wouldn't want that" she mumbled to herself in a sarcastic tone.
"Peyton?" he shouted again
"Yeah I'll be down in a minute" she checked her appearance in the mirror, grabbed her school bag and then made her way to the kitchen.
"I'm making breakfast do you want anything?"
"No I'm not really hungry and well like you said I don't want to be late on my first day. I'll see you later" she said and grabbed her car keys heading out the door.
"See you later sweetheart"
She parked her car outside of the school, she noticed that it was similar to her old high school. There were groups that separated everyone such as the popular jocks, the cheerleaders, band kids, the drama group, typical nerds, etc. But Peyton Sawyer didn't judge people on what group they belonged to, even back in California she was part of the popular crowd but she wasn't like the rest she would talk to the less popular kids as well. She got out of her car and made her way into school, she went straight to the principal's office.
"Like I told your father this school is very friendly I'm sure you'll make plenty of new friends. Here's your schedule and your locker number, welcome to the school we hope you enjoy your time here"
"Thank you"
She left the principal's office and was walking back down the hall. She had been walking for about five minutes when she finally found her locker. She opened it up looked at her schedule and put some of her unneeded books in it. She closed her locker and was met by the most beautiful pair of blue crystal eyes she'd ever seen.
"Hey" he said
"Hi"
"You new?"
"What gave it away?"
"Besides the lost expression on your face."
She laughed "My name's Lucas. Lucas Scott"
"I'm Peyton Sawyer"
"Well Peyton welcome to Tree Hill High"
"Thanks. Do you know where this room is" she said showing him her schedule.
"As a matter of fact I do I'm in that class. I'm heading there now you wanna join?"
"Sure"
"I was wondering when I was gonna get a locker buddy?" he said as they walked down the halls.
"Has it been empty long?"
"Yeah it belonged to this guy but he left last year and it hasn't been used since"
They entered the class room. "You must be Peyton" the teacher said
"Yeah"
"Attention class we have a new student here at Tree Hill High" All of the students turned to look at the 'new girl'. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"
"My name is Peyton Sawyer and I'm from California"
"Okay go sit yourself down" the teacher said gesturing to an empty seat which just happened to be in front of Lucas Scott. The blonde sat herself down and the teacher began the lesson.
"Okay open your book to page 110"
"Peyton do you need a book?"
"No the principal gave me a copy of all the books I need"
"Okay. Well I want you all to read up to page 115 and then there's some questions at the end of the chapter that I want you all to answer, and if we have time we'll discuss the answers."
Everyone began working. Lucas was finding it difficult to concentrate he couldn't stop thinking about the blonde beauty in front of him. He didn't even know her yet but there was something about her that he loved and he couldn't wait to get to know her better.
