Again, for Akshu, since I promised. This was supposed to be something else, turned out to be something else but oh well. Though the characters are almost similar, the timeline differs for each character. Well, you'll know what I mean.

Introduction

High School, it's where dramas galore. Be it girl drama, boy-girl drama, popularity related drama, ego related drama and so many more types. This is a tale of all of them put together.

Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, the best friends that had it all, the boyfriend, the money and the looks. Only problem was, they shared the same boyfriend, Lucas Scott.

Lucas Scott and Nathan Scott, the closest you got to enemies and ego clashes in Tree Hill. Squabbles over best friends weren't hard to find here but none to this extent.

And Haley James, the best friend to the girls and Lucas and the girlfriend to Nathan, the mediator of this story who at times, had her own problems to deal with.

An Evening in the Life of Tree Hill

"Tutor girl," Brooke called out, just as Peyton said, "Haley." The two girls glared at each other and called out some colorful names for each other before turning to the subject at hand, Haley James.

"So Haley, Tutor Girl," the two girls simultaneously said and glared at each other once again.

"Peyton, you go first. Brooke, wait for a minute, will you?" Haley said, putting a stop to their stare fest.

"Haley, I wanted you to check out some designs I made for decorating the cafe for it's anniversary. Shall we leave now?" Peyton asked her. Without waiting, Brooke immediately said, "Tutor Girl, you're coming with me to try on the dresses I made for you, no excuses."

"Brooke, I-," she began but was interrupted, "I said no excuses," Brooke told her.

"Hales!" two voices called out from behind her, from the entrance of the classroom.

"Hales, we have an English test tomorrow, shall we meet up in an hour for tutoring?" Nathan asked her, winking.

"Hales, you have to help me out with the cafe today, Mom's out with uncle Keith and I can't manage it alone," he asked her as well.

"The four of you, I am only one person, I can't be at all four places at once so you guys will have to help me sort everything out, okay?" she asked them. On receiving absolutely no response, she asked them again, "Is that okay?"

"But, Hales-" all four of them began but she strictly said no to choosing one of them.

"Brooke, Peyton, Nathan, all of you meet me at the cafe, I'll try on the clothes, see the designs and tutor Nathan over there. While I'm doing one of the stuff, the others will help Lucas out and no, I am not taking 'no' for an answer. Now leave and reach soon. Bye!" she said and went out with Lucas, smiling to herself.
