The scenery blurred past her as she followed her parents truck. Lacy Everson was moving to Tree Hill with her parents and wasn't happy about it. She had everything back in New York, her perfect friends, her perfect boyfriend but that all changed when she came home from school one day. It all changed with the simple words. "Honey were moving." Apparently her father got a job position has the new president of Dan Scott motors, since the old president was now the mayor of the town. Lacy thought back to when her parents told her the news.

"Moving, were moving!"

"Lacy I got this great new job, it's for the best." Peter, Lacy's father tried to reason

"No dad what's best is for me to finish my senior year here with my friends. I just started basketball. This is my year."

"Lacy there will be basketball at Tree Hill High."

"Tree Hill, what kind of name is that."

"Lacy were moving in two weeks that's all there is to it…and no you can't move in with anybody." Lacy's mother, Susan said already knowing Lacy's next question.

Lacy pulled up to a simple white house. She parked the car and got out looking at the town around her. The moving men were already unpacking and putting things into the house. Her parents came beside her.

"What do you think?" Peter asked.

"I can't answer that yet."

"Why don't you walk around and get acquainted with the town." Susan suggested.

"What not afraid that I will get lost." Lacy said mocking the smallness of the town.

Her parents laughed and went to instruct the movers. Lacy noticed a café about a half of mile before her house driving up, she decided to go there first.

Haley was cleaning a table talking to Karen and Lucas about how great things have been going with her and Nathan lately.

"I think that were finally on the right path again."

"That's great Hales." Lucas said

The bell above the door opened and all three turned to look.

"She's new." Commented Haley.

"You don't know that." Lucas replied.

"Yes I do. Just look at her."

"Stop it both of you." Karen scolded. She walked over to her.

"You lost?" Karen asked kindly.

"Depends on the day you ask me." Karen looked at the girl oddly

"No I'm not lost, just new to town."

"Ha I told you." Haley said slapping Lucas in the arm

"Hi I'm Haley and that's Lucas." Haley said extending her hand

"Lacy." Lacy replied

"So what's your tragic moving to Tree Hill story." Lucas asked.

"I don't have a tragic story."

"Everyone who moves to Tree Hill has a tragic story behind it." Haley interjected

Lacy looked at Karen who just smiled and shook her head.

"Well my dad got a new job so here I am…what a tragic story" Lacy said in a mocked tone

Lucas and Haley looked at each other amused.

"Well Lacy, Welcome to Tree Hill , Home of the Drama."

Lacy raised one of her eyebrows at them

"What kind of drama are we talking about."

"You might want a cup of coffee for this one."

"I don't think it can that bad."

Lacy sat for hours as Haley and Lucas went on about Dan and Karen, Dan and Deb. The relationship with Lucas and Nathan. The relationships with each other. Marriage in high school. Everything. Lacy couldn't believe that her father was going to work with this scum bag named Dan Scott but her dad had a meeting with him and said that he was a "decent man" and there was no changing his mind after that.

"Wow sorry that I doubted you."

"Most do." Haley said taking a sip of her coffee.

"So tell me about the school."

"If you're not in a basketball or cheerleading then you're a nobody."

"Basketball?" Lacy asked getting curious

"Basketball is huge in this town." Lucas said

"I love basketball. I was all star on my team back home."

"Its boys only, we don't have a girls team." Lucas commented

Lacy couldn't believe it. No girls basketball team. What was she going to do now. Basketball was her life. She could play at the River court that Lucas had told her about but it wouldn't be the same as playing a team, feeding off the energy of the crowd.

"Hey Lacy, do you want to come to my place to meet my room mate Brooke and her friend Peyton? It's a good chance for you to meet the rest of the gang." Haley asked

"Yeah sure let me call my parents." Lacy excused herself to make a call.

"She's hot." Lucas admired

"I would go with she nice. You have Brooke anyways."

"I know but look at her." Haley looked at Lacy. Her straight brunette hair was pulled back into a pony tail but she guessed that it fell to her shoulders. She had fierce green eyes that were shining has she talked to her parents which made her guess that she has a good relationship with them. She was wearing jeans that hugged her hips and a layered shirt that showed off her athletic body. Haley had to admit that Lacy was stunning.

"Ok all set, my parent said to be home by eight." Lacy bounced over.

"Great lets go."

When they arrived at the apartment complex Haley stopped.

"What the matter?"

"Are you sure your ready for this."

Lacy looked at Haley

"Yeah, I need to meet the "popular" kids. I want to have a good year here." Lacy joked

Haley nodded at led her inside. Brooke and Peyton were watching a movie on the couch

"Hey I want you to meet someone." Both girls turned to face Lacy and Haley

"Lacy this is Brooke and Peyton." Haley said pointing them out. They all said there hellos and sat to get to know each other.

Around eight Lacy was walking home. She thought about all the people that she had met today. She could see herself becoming friends with these people, not only because Brooke had insisted that she hang with them all day but because Lacy felt that she had come kind of connection with each of them. She walked into her house to see her parents unpacking.

"Hey Mom, Dad Sorry I'm late, I got caught up talking with everyone."

"It's alright, don't let it happed again."

Lacy smiled at her parents and walked up the stairs

"Dad to answer your question earlier. I think that I'm going to like it here."
