Authors Note: Hey guys! Ok I'm starting a new story along with writing Move Along. This story is going to be probably different from OTH stories you have read, I'm really excited about it though. This story is not a crossover, but it is based off of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana. There will not be any characters from Hannah Montana, just the idea of a normal girl living a pop star life.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or Hannah Montana. I do not own any of the characters either, along with the songs that I will be using in this story.
The Other Side of Me
Chapter 1: This is the Life
There are many names people call Haley James. For example bookworm, nerd, tutor girl, loner...really the list can go on forever and not in a positive way. You see Haley never was the one to go to parties on Friday nights, heck any night. She just wasn't one of those people who liked to get wasted every night. She had friends, sure not a lot of them but it wasn't like she had didn't have any friends and just sat in her room all day talking to barbies or anything. She had a best friend, Bevin Mirskey, who she has known since she moved here five years ago. Bevin could be described as, well everything Haley is except she has a little more of a wild side than Haley. The moment they first met there was a bond that Haley can never describe. Haley moved to Tree Hill, North Carolina when she was going into 7th grade. Haley of course was not happy about it, she really didn't want to leave her home town in Birmingham, Alabama. She was furious with her dad at first, but understood after he explained everything to her.
Jimmy James is a widower and father of Haley and Mason. The siblings were only a year apart but completely different. Mason loved to party, he actually was the highlight of most parties. Once he showed up, the party was just then starting. He was the jock of the school to, he was best friends with the Scott brothers, Nathan and Lucas, the heartbreakers of Tree Hill. The three pretty much ruled the school, all the girls wanted them, all the guys envied them. Though Mason wasn't ashamed of Haley, in fact whenever he saw her in the halls he would stop what he was doing and go talk to her, see how her day was going. He even drove her to school every morning, just the two of them so Haley wouldn't have to deal with any of Mason's friends. He was a great brother most of the time,but like every other sibling they had their usual fights. Mason had never been like this, until mis and Haley's mother died. They had promised each other they would always be there for one another, no matter what. Once they moved to Tree Hill, Mason was instantly in with the in-crowd, with his good looks and his love to party. They all opened him in with open arms, Haley however didn't click with them. They all figured since she was Mason's sister, she would be the same, except she wasn't. Once they found out she rather be home reading a book on a friday night than being at a party, she was instantly labeled a nerd. Haley didn't mind it though, she just couldn't understand why middle schoolers would want to drink and party that hard at such a young age.
Though, there were others who thought she was a really down to earth girl, Bevin being the first, but also Jake Jagielski. Jake wasn't one who liked to read or party, no Jake was defiantly a different kind of guy, a guy that you could just instantly fall in love with because of his cuteness. Him and Bevin were close friends, so when Haley met Bevin, she introduced the two. The three of them soon became the best of friends. Even though Haley didn't have that many friends, she always thinks that she has the best kind of friends, friends she doesn't think anyone else has. The three of them deal with all the comments they get at school, they just think since that they hate their own lives they can make everybody else's hell to.
While thinking about her life, Haley just laughed silently to herself while siting on her bed.
"If they only knew," she muttered to herself.
"Hey bud, you almost ready to go?" her dad called from downstairs.
"Yea, I'm coming," she yelled back.
Jumping off her bed, Haley grabbed her her bag and headed out the door downstairs.
"Ya nervous at all?" asked her dad. Tonight was a big night for Haley.
"Dad, has there ever been a time when I was nervous?" replied Haley
"Well ya never know, tonight's going to be huge. Thousands and thousands of people are gonna be there. Not afraid you might choke, what if you forget your lines, or worse you get stage fright?" Jimmy asked teasingly.
"The more you keep asking me that, the more aggravated I get Daddy," shot back Haley, hearing this for the tenth time today.
"Sorry bud, just making sure."
"I'll be fine Dad, don't worry," Haley said trying to reassure her dad and herself.
"If you say so, come on we keep standing here were gonna be late."
The two headed for the cab that was waited outside and headed toward their destination.
About two hours later, Haley and her dad were backstage waiting for her cue.
"Now remember bud, if you forget anything just drop to the floor like you fainted. That way it looks like you didn't forget you words, you just couldn't because you were all dizzy from the heat. That will save you some humiliation," Jimmy said to his daughter.
"Dad! for the billionth time. I will be fine. Do i need to spell this out for you. I-W-I-..."
"all right, all right. You'll be fine. Your gonna to great Haley-bub," Jimmy said lovingly to his daughter and gave a kiss on the forehead.
The moment was interrupted when a voice started saying
"Now ladies and gentlemen, the wait is finally over. The moment you all have been waiting for. Please put you hands together for Kelley Stevens!" boomed the announcer.
Hearing this, the crowd erupted in screams and applause. Which only became louder when they saw the brown haired girl wearing stylish clothes come onto stage.
What the crowd didn't know was that under the hair and clothes was just and ordinary girl. That, that girl was Haley James.
And when the music started the blonde covered by her brown wig started doing the one thing that she loved. Singing.
Take the world
Shake and stir
And that's what I got goin' on
I throw my cares up in the air
And I don't think they're comin' down
Yeah, I love how it feels right now
This is the life! Hold on tight!
And this is the dream
It's all I need!
You never know where you'll find it
And I'm gonna take my time, yeah
I'm still getting it right
This is the Life
