A/N: Things to know:
Brooke is 18 and not from Tree Hill.
She knows no one and most the stuff on the show has happened just Haley never left with Chris and Lucas isn't really as sweet and innocent, he is kind of a man whore I think I am not sure yet and him and Nathan have gotten along throughout high school but not close until Nathan started dating Haley, who is still Lucas's best friend.
I am planning on not having the whole Leyton thing ever happening but I might. But there will be NO Leyton this story just maybe they use to date but never worked out because they were better friends.
Well I own nothing because if I did Brucas would still be together and Jake would have never left haha
But please enjoy :)
First days of school are always nerve racking. But being a senior living pretty much on your own and a new town, and new school knowing no one, it's more than nerve racking.
Brooke Davis just moved here from a small town in Texas and is starting school at Tree Hill High today. Her parents bought her a house and put money in her bank account telling her that she needs to get a job and once she graduates she is on her own and they will no longer help. Well that's what her mom says but her mother doesn't know her father is still sending her money every month telling her to hold off on the job right now because he knows she can't balance her hectic life right now and a job.
Looking at her schedule she sees she has English first period, American Government second, lunch then study hall and then gym. Figuring she could skip lunch and just stay at home for study hall she would be able to be home about an hour and a half giving Lydia a break to get done what she needs to have done for the day before coming back for gym.
Walking down the hall people turn to look at her and it makes her grow nervous, wondering if they already know about her life. About her just moving here and the things she has going on. But she quickly shakes that off as being paranoid and they are only looking at her because she is the new girl and everyone is always curious about the new kid especially in a school this small. She hears the bell for first period and she feels like she has been walking around forever.
Brooke looks down at her paper realizing she is already completely lost and not sure how the hell to get to her first period. "Oh my god I am sorry." She apologizes when she turns the corner smacking right into someone.
"Oh its fine I am a total klutz, I was so not paying attention to where I was going." The girl tells her picking up her books then smiling brushing her hair over her shoulder, "Hey I'm Haley James- Scott."
"Oh umm… Brooke Davis." Brooke smiles shaking her hand as she tries to juggle her purse, book bag and then books and piles of paper the front office just handed her, "I am actually glad I smacked into you I am new and completely lost."
"Oh well let's see what you got here." she says taking the paper from Brooke's hand and as she reads over Brooke's schedule. Brooke takes in this girls body language. She stands as if she is shy but comes across as very outgoing. She moves her glass to the tip of her nose reading Brooke's schedule and on occasions mumbles an hmmm…on top of that she has a gold band on her left ring finger. Now that could mean anything but it interreges Brooke to what exactly that means because she seems a little too young to be married. "Well you have second with me and you also have gym." She says bring Brooke out of her thoughts, "Your first period is also on the way to mine, I can show you." she smiles handing Brooke back her paper.
"Thanks so much, I am sure I am already late." Brooke frowns figuring being late the first day is not the best thing.
"Oh don't worry you aren't that late and plus I got you covered, your just lucky you are new." Haley laughs and Brooke nods not sure what she really means, "No just follow my lead." She says and Brooke again nods still not sure what is going on, "Umm…Mr. Gibson." Haley says knocking on the door.
"Oh Mrs. Scott what do I owe this pleasure because I am more than sure you aren't on my roster." The older gentlemen smiles. "You aren't here already to get Nathan out of class?" he teases and the class snickers making Haley blush and Brooke glances in the room looking over at some dark headed boy she assumes is Nathan since he gives Haley a wink.
"Nope not today," she laughs and he just nods, "But this is Brooke Davis." She says grabbing Brooke's arm pulling her into class and Brooke feels the whole room staring at her already trying to figure her out. "She is new and I was just giving her a tour of the school." She explains and Brooke quickly learns the whole follow my lead thing, "You are her first period and I just wanted you to meet her before I just drop her off."
"Oh well Miss Davis have a seat, I am Mr. Gibson nice of you to join our little school." He smiles and Brooke nods.
"Oh and Nate…" Haley calls over to the boy who winked at her a few moments before, "Brooke has Government with us will you show her after this class?" Haley offers and Brooke quickly likes this girl.
"Yeah babe that's fine. Love you." he smiles proudly and Brooke is almost in awe that this guy just told his girlfriend in front of this whole classroom he loves her, Brooke's old boyfriend never did that, he only really said I love you in private and it was after Brooke would say it to him first. She always felt like it was forced and now that she has moved she is more than sure it was forced because he didn't love her, never did.
"Love you too." Haley smiles blowing him a kiss before heading out the door. Brooke stands there awkwardly until her teacher tells her she can sit anywhere she wants and Brooke slowly looks around the room to where to sit until the Nathan guy waves her over.
"You can sit here. Hales will kill me if I don't make you comfortable." He laughs and Brooke smiles sitting down in the back row next to him, "Nathan Scott." He says reaching out his hand.
"Brooke Davis." Brooke says then realizes he said Scott, like Haley said Scott and unless they are brother and sister which she prays to god they aren't since they seem a little too friendly to be brother and sister then it means they are married and that ring was a wedding ring. She let out a small laugh to herself falling back in her seat thinking, she thought her life was weird.
Brooke found English boring, she just sat there most the class with her chin resting on her hand just wanting to go home and make sure everything is ok. She talked to Nathan some and he seemed really sweet, much like Haley and Brooke started to wonder if the whole school was just really nice and polite.
"So you excited about government?" Nathan jokes as the bell finally rings releasing them to their next period.
"Well I hope it is just as exciting as English." Brooke laughs throwing her bag over her shoulder and walking out of the classroom with Nathan.
"Yeah I know what you mean. English is not my thing; my brothers yes me not at all." Nathan says with a small laugh.
"Oh me neither I am not good with words and get bored easily when I am reading. I swear all those books Mr. Gibson told us we have to read this semester are going to swallow me whole." Brooke frowns a bit thinking about it. Their teacher told them that they had definitely 5 books to read maybe one more and with Brooke's busy schedule she knew her grades like most of her high school years since freshman year will slip.
"Well if you ever need a tutor I'm sure Luke, my brother, will be more than happy to help." Nathan tells Brooke bringing her out of her thoughts and Brooke just nods as the walk into the next class. "Hey baby." Nathan smiles sitting down his book bag and kissing Haley.
"Hey." She smiles kissing him again before turning to Brooke, "Hey Brooke how has your first day been so far?" she asks and Brooke is again amazed at how amazingly sweet this girl is. She has known Brooke about an hour only talked to her for about 10 minutes and already acts like they are best friends, Brooke really likes that.
"It's ok, I mean I just told Nathan how English is not my subject." Brooke says blowing a piece of hair out of her face as she takes a seat next to Haley.
"Oh yeah I know what you mean." Haley agrees.
"What? No you don't Hales you are an all A student who tutored me in English and math." Nathan laughs at his wife.
"Well doesn't mean I don't find it somewhat hard." she shrugs turning her attention back to Brooke, "But don't worry Mr. Gibson is pretty easy, well not easy but fair and if you need help he is all for helping as long as you seem to put forth an effort." Haley explains and Brooke just nods as the teacher walks in and starts talking.
Everyone takes their seat and Brooke again falls back in her desk checking her phone to see that it's almost 11. Which means Lydia probably just finished cleaning up and is just hanging out until Brooke gets home to give her, her break.
Break Brooke laughs thinking about it, she wishes she had a break in her life sometimes.
The class is soon over and Brooke was glad to share it with Haley because the talk pretty much all period which made it seem to speed by faster.
"You have lunch right?" Haley asks as the pick up their bags and walk out of the class.
"Yeah but I was going to skip and head home for a little bit." Brooke tells her.
"Oh come on I know the first day you may have been nervous about going to lunch not knowing anyone and sitting alone, but you can sit with us." Haley explains, "Plus you can meet all out friends."
"I don't know I really should head home for a bit." Brooke says not really wanting to explain why she needed to get home so bad.
"Our first day and she is already ditching us." Nathan fake frowns shaking his head making both Brooke and Haley laugh.
"Ok I will umm…I will just stay for lunch." Brooke decides figuring one day would be ok.
"Great." Haley smiles as she takes Nathan's hand in hers.
"But you two go ahead I really need to make a call." Brooke tells them as she grabs her phone out of her purse holding it up looking for service.
"Oh ok if you need to make a call you may want to try the gym it is like the only place to get any service." Nathan says and Brooke nods not sure where that is, "its right there." he laughs pointing behind her and Brooke laughs.
"Right…Thanks." She says walking towards the big double wooden doors. "I will find you both when I am done." She tells them and they nod as she walks into the large gymnasium. "Ugh." Brooke frowned as she wanders the gym with her phone in the air trying to find service.
"You may want to try over by the locker rooms." Brooke heard some say as she turned to see a tall blonde standing in the middle of the gym with a basketball tucked under his arm.
"Umm…thanks." Brooke smiles looking at him a little longer before turning back around, "Umm…" she says turning back to face him and he takes a shot before turning to face her, "Where are the locker rooms exactly?" she questions feeling kind of dumb and he just laughs shaking his head walking over to her and as he moves closer she quickly realizes how gorgeous he actually is.
"Right over here." he laughs standing next to her and point to a back hall, "Come on I will show you the best spot." He says as he starts walking but Brooke just stays still not really wanting to walk to the back to some kind of dark hallway with some random guy. "You coming?" he questions turning around to face her realizing he wasn't following.
"Umm…"
"I don't bite." He chuckles "I mean unless you want me too." He smirks raising an eye brow at her.
"I certainly don't." Brooke protested almost angry he would even say that to her but he just laughs a little.
"I was just kidding." He laughs looking her up and down a second, "Well not really but come on you really can't get any service in this place other than the locker rooms so if that phone call is important…" he trails off.
"Yeah…yeah it is." Brooke says a little nervously as she follows him and he shows her where to stand. She pulls out her phone looking up at him wondering if he was just going to stand there smiling at her as she made this important private phone call.
"Oh yeah sorry." He apologies as he walks back into the gym leaving Brooke alone as she quickly dials her house and waits forever and no one picks up. She hangs up calling Lydia's cell but again no answer and Brooke becomes very nervous.
"Damn it." She curses hanging up as she walks out of the locker room.
"Have a nice call?" the blonde questions.
"No…" Brooke snaps storming past him and out the door hearing him mumbling an ok before the door slammed. Figuring she didn't have time to find Haley or Nathan Brooke quickly got to her car and headed straight home and the normal 10 minute drive or so felt like an eternity in Brooke's mind.
When she finally pulled into the driveway she wasn't sure if she was relieved to see Lydia's car in the driveway or not. Turning off the car and Brooke ran quickly to her front door freaking when she found it unlocked.
"Lydia!" she yelled as she ran franticly around her house searching for her, "Lydia where are you!?" she yelled running to her room, then the kitchen and living room, then every other room in the house until she heard some music. "Lydia!" she freaked running into the pool house to find her.
"Brooke what are you doing here?" Lydia questioned turning off the vacuum and looking at her watch, "You still have school."
"I know I was going to give you a break but then I tried calling and you didn't answer and I just freaked." Brooke explained looking around the pool house until her eyes landed on just what she was looking for.
"Everything is fine." Lydia smiles picking up the small child in her arms and walking over to Brooke, "We are fine."
"I know I just needed to see her." Brooke said finally catching her breath and taking the small baby in her arms. "Hey baby girl have you been good today?"
"I always good." The baby babbled.
"Yes you are sweetie." Brooke smiled kissing the top of her head and moving her to her other hip, "Do you know how much I love you?"
"Love you too mommy." The baby yawned snuggling into her mother's arms.
"You should really get to school Brooke." Lydia says in the motherly tone that Brooke sometimes so desperately needs to hear, "Emma is fine."
"I know she is." Brooke smiled at her three year old who was starting to drift off to sleep in her arms, "But I think first I am going to put my baby to bed."
