Hey guys! Here is a new story of mine since L.A.Y. is almost done! I hope you like it, I know this is short but its mainly background information so the next chapter will probably be up tonight or tomorrow.

Read and Review

Enjoy!

Haley James walked into Tree Hill high on the first day of senior year. She was a new student who was going to be attending with her best friends Brooke and Lucas, and brother Jake. They went to school together but then Haley transferred to a private school, she ended up hating it and transferring back senior year.

Haley's P.O.V.

Brooke was dating my brother Jake James and Lucas was dating a girl named Peyton. I had gone to school with Peyton, and we had hung out before. The three of us split up to find our lockers, and for me to get my roster.

"Well well if it isn't Haley James"

"Nathan Scott the one and only" I said as Nathan approached me as I put copybooks in my locker.

"What are you doing back here?"

"I didn't like my old school so I transferred back."

"Well that's good we should hang out sometime"

"Sure, sounds nice, you should stop by Karen's later, I work there."

"Okay, how's your first day been?" He questioned before I heard Brooke yelling "TG! Whats your lunch?" Then she was next to me.

"fifth"

"Mee too" She squealed.

"B, how much sugar have you had this morning?"

"None, but I did have two mocha lattes no foam, I was just so excited TG"

"TG?"Nathan questioned and before I could speak Brooke did "Tutor Girl, there are three TG, TM, which is a secret and TS, tutor slut."

"Brooke" yelled hitting her. "What I called you that before"

"Yeah before" Not wanting to say anything else I changed the subject. "Where's Luke?"

"Right here" a deep voice said from behind me as Brooke and I jumped, scared and Nathan and Lucas laughed. They were cousins Lucas father, Keith was Nathan's father, Dan's older brother.

"Jerk," I said turning around slapping him in the back of the head. "Where are you better half's?"

"Hey" They both defended themselves. "And I saw them talking to people as I walked by." Lucas said then Brooke cut in "Our little Haley baley is just jealous Lukey wukey because she starting off the new year solo."

I rolled my eyes "Yeah especially considering"

"Its okay Hales, I am too" Nathan said.

Then the bell rang for the warning so we all headed off to our homerooms.

That day I was wiping down the counters as my shift was almost over Nathan walked in. "I was about to think you wouldn't show"

"Haley James, I am a man of my word."

"Oh are you" I said sarcastically.

"Yep"

"Want something to eat?" I questioned.

"No, I am not hungry, thanks anyway."

"Well you caught me just in time to leave."

"I will walk you home."

"you don't have to"

"But I will."

I remember Nathan Scott from 8th grade, he wasn't a bad kid, a little cocky but overall nice. Maybe he still was.

"So what was all that stuff you and Brooke were not saying earlier?"

"oh nothing" I lied, not wanting to tell him my back story "It's not important"

"Okay, want to know a secret?"

"Sure"

"I had a crush on you in eighth grade, I was heartbroken, and here you are back again my feelings have resurfaced." I was shocked, I couldn't believe this I had liked him to but never admitted it because I didn't think he liked me. "What?" I stuttered.

"I like you Haley, I really like you. Will you go out with me?"

"I…I can't Nathan, I'm not a normal girl."

"That's what I always like about you. You never followed others."

"I have a lot of baggage, I am sorry Nathan I can't." By then we were at my house and I walked inside and walked my room. I walked inside and stood over her "Hi baby girl Mama's home."
