We Used To Be Friends

Chapter 1

Hi!!! Well this my first fanfic...I was thinking about my favorite shows and I thought of an idea of One Tree Hill. So I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything of One Tree Hill including their characters.

I grew up in Tree Hill, North Carolina. It was picture of a normal small town. I grew up in a society that the rich ruled. My dad owned his own investment bank and my mother was a "stay at home" mom. I am the only child (thank god), but then again it would be nice to have brothers or sisters...you know what scratch that! It would probably make my life worse. Your probably asking yourself, how can a rich girl have a semi bad life? Well. I'll tell you.

I used to be the "queen bee". I was in the popular group with my best friends Rachel Gattina and Peyton Sawyer and all the other cheerleaders. I was head cheerleader and I was dating the captain of the basketball team...Nathan Scott. But this wasn't regular high school love. This was the real deal. I was madly in love with him and I thought he was madly in love with me, but hey whatever. Anyway, back to the point. My father started losing momey and owned a bunch of those rich snobs in our town a lot of money. After my so-called friends found out about this, they turned thier backs on me. They knew this wasn't my fault or my father's fault for that matter, but who knows why they turned their backs on me. Maybe their parents told them so or maybe popular people are really jackasses.

So, my father closed down his business and looked for another job. It was hard for him for find one for a while but one of my now best friend's mom gave him a chance. They created the all ages club "Tric". Now my dad is half owner and manager. after all of that we still had to sell our old house and get a two bedroom house. It sucked, but there's no looking back.

So, lets talk about the present...

My name is Haley James and I'm a junior at Tree Hill High. I'm no longer a cheerleader(glad to say). I have two new best friends that I know will have my back no matter what. There's Brooke Davis aka October. We call her that because...duh her birthday is in October! She's a major goth or thats what I say. She has full on black everyday plus some blue. She loves blue. It's her trademark. I met her the summer that we were going to be juniors. We were both working at Karen's Cafe and we clicked immediatly. She's my best friend now and I love her to death. Then there is my other BFF, Lucas Scott. Yes, another Scott. He is Nathan's step brother. They share the same father, but Nathan's dad, Dan doesn't acknowledge him as his son at all. Lucas moved here from Charlotte with his mom Karen Roe. Karen owns the cafe October and I work at. That's how we met Lucas and he told us his story.

" Well, my mom and Dan were high school sweethearts. My mom got pregnant right before graduation. Dan left for college to pursue his basketball dreams and left my mom all alone to raise me. Three months after he got my mom pregnant, he got some other woman pregnant named Deb. My mom had me and three months later Deb had Nathan." Lucas said when we first met him.

Anyway, Lucas plays on the varsity basketball team just like my ex Nathan does. They get along most days. Luke is my buddy and I love him, but as a friend. Don't get any ideas. So thats my life...so far. I know it can only get worse...

So, thats the first part just explaining the background of Haley and other stuff. Tell me what you think and I'll have the rest up by Monday!!!!
