Chapter 1

Tree Hill High School, most people think it's just a place in North Carolina, but, for the students in it, it's four years they'll never forget. Every school has its cliques. Even though the ones at Tree Hill are the worst looking in from the outside but, the best when you're on the inside! The school is ruled by jocks. Most of the jocks can barely keep a 2.0 grade point average but some are great at being popular. They throw tons of parties that only the "in- crowd" attend.

There's one crowd that nobody messes with they're the best of the best the best in school, they have the newest clothes, the latest electronics, and the most expensive cars. They're the Scott's, but everyone calls them The Elite. This fiery group of ten is quiet in class but when it comes down to it they're there for each other, they're family.

Colton Scott, NBA star forward, and his beautiful wife, singer/ songwriter Haley, have 4 kids who are in The Elite, triplets: James, Kyle, and Aidan, who are 18, and their beautiful daughter, Riley. Riley is sixteen, she's a junior and still has her brothers watching her every move. They're there to protect her, and to be, as she calls it; her Supermen hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Riley looks just like her mom, she has long chocolate hair that's cut about 2 inches below her shoulders. Riley had a very strong bond with her brothers. They all know it is always there, no matter what.

The Elite consists of ten Scott's three belonged to Lucas and is wife Peyton: Keith who is 18, and twin girls Kay and Ellie who are 15. There rich because Lucas plays in NBA alongside Colton and Chase, his brothers. And to round off the group world renown fashion designer Brooke Davis-Scott, and her husband Chase Scott have three kids: Summer who is 17, and twin girls Sammie and Kara who are 16.

The Elite are the best. The best at getting in trouble, the best at getting out of trouble, and the best at getting whatever they wanted.
