Chapter 1: First Day at School

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the One Tree Hill characters. I only own my original characters.

Note: Here is a brief description about what the story is about. The main character, Kaiana, is supposed to be new to Tree Hill, but quickly makes friends with Lucas, Brooke, Nathan, and Haley. Nathan and Haley are together, but Lucas is single. You'll soon see who Kaiana might end up dating in further chapters. I'm going try to put some serious drama in there. Well here is a character profile of Kaiana and the first chapter of the story.

On to the story….

Alright…stop being a baby and just get out the of the truck. You can do this. You've dealt with bitchy models and arrogant designers. What can a few regular teenagers do to you? Now I'm talking to myself. Jesus! This is it...time to face the music.As Kaiana Morris exited her SUV, she noticed that there was kids scattered all over the campus. There was a couple making out on the stairs in front of everyone, while various groups and cliques were standing around talking and laughing. As she drew closer to the stairs it seemed to get quiet all of sudden. She did a quick scan of her outfit to see if anything was out of place upon noticing the stares in her direction. The guys seemed to be leering, while some of the girls were giving either looks of curiosity or of jealousy. She decided to just ignore them as she walked up the stairs to enter the main doors of the school, rolling her eyes at the catcalls and whistles she heard.

When she reached the double doors at the top of the stairs, she took a deep cleansing breath. It was now or never. She took another deep breath before stepping through the doors into the hallway. As soon as she entered the hallway, she was bombarded with the sound of loud conversations and laughter. Just as she was about to stop and ask someone where the main office is, she heard one of the sexiest voices in all of creation. Her eyes followed the sound of the voice until they came in contact with a tall guy with dirty blonde hair that had that messy look as if he just woke up out of bed. He was walking with three girls and another guy. The other guy was even taller than him, except he had dark hair. Now if these guys are any indication of how the guys look here, then sticking around this town might not be so bad. But who are those girls with them? Are they girlfriends or friends? Well, you said you wanted to make friends, so here's your chance.

They were almost right in front of her now. All she had to do was just walk up to them and say hi, but for some reason she couldn't. It was like her feet were rooted to the floor. She could see herself walking over to them in her mind, but her feet refused to budge. Then it hit her...she was scared…scared out of mind. Before she could convince herself to talk to them, one of the girls locked eyes with hers. She had dark hair that was cut in layers with red highlights. Kaiana witnessed the various emotions run across her face. First there almost seemed to be a sign of recognition, but then it was gone as soon as it had appeared...next followed surprise and then curiosity. It seems she wouldn't have to get up the nerve to talk to them, because the girl seemed to be heading her way.

"Hey you okay," she asked. "You look like you're lost."

"Umm…yeah I'm sorta looking for the main office," Kaiana answered awkwardly. "I'm new here and I need to pick up my schedule."

"Come on I'll show you. You're not too far away from it really. Just a couple doors down this hall. I'm Brooke by the way,"she said smiling brightly.

Kaiana was surprised at the act of kindness, but she found herself smiling right back at Brooke and shaking the hand she had outstretched. "Hi, I'm Kaiana Morris. Thanks, I would really appreciate you showing me the office."

"Okay come on...it's this way," Brooke replied with that same beaming smile.

Brooke's constant smile was starting to unnerve her a little, so her eyes strayed over to the group of teenagers watching with a mixture of curiosity and confusion. Next thing she knew she was being dragging over to them. Brooke proceeded to introduce her as if they were long lost friends. "Hey guys, this is Kaiana Morris," she said cheerfully. "She's new here."

Peyton and Haley exchanged a curious look. They were thinking the same thing. What was up with Brooke? Since when did she become so friendly to strangers? Correction...she was friendly to strangers, but only ones of the male variety. Peyton glanced at Brooke, to find that she was giving her an almost impatient look. Peyton got the hint. Brooke was waiting for her to say hello to the new girl. "Hey, I'm Peyton and this is Haley," she said gesturing to the red head standing next to her, allowing a small smile to form on her face. Haley smiled at Kaiana as well, giving her a small wave.

"So wait a minute, don't us handsome guys get an introduction? Guess we'll just have to introduce ourselves then. I'm Nathan and this is Lucas."

So that's his name…Lucas. Kaiana let her mind wrap around the fact that this gorgeous guy was now standing so close to her. If she didn't know any better she would say he was also checking her out. As their eyes locked, she realized he had dark blue eyes that were so intense it was like she was getting lost just gazing into them. She didn't know how long they stood there staring at each other before hearing someone cough. The cough brought her back to her senses and she realized Brooke, Peyton, Haley, and Nathan were all staring. Kaiana felt a blush rising on her cheeks. She thanked the Lord for her caramel complexion skin that concealed her embarrassment.

Somehow she managed to smile at Nathan and shake his hand politely. Shaking Lucas's hand was a whole other story. He stretched his hand out to shake hers, but she stalled for a moment. She stared at his hand as if she expected it to bite her at any second. "It's ok to touch me," he said, laughing lightly. "I don't have a disease you know".

There was that voice again. It was so smooth and soft. She felt like he was caressing her with his voice. She forced herself to stay cool and not to break out into a sweat as she finally stuck her hand out to shake his. The moment their hands touched she felt this spark of electricity. When she looked into his eyes, she realized he felt it too because his eyes turned slightly darker. Is this what chemistry is or love at first sight? No. She couldn't be thinking about love when she just met the guy.

"Sorry", Kaiana managed to squeak out. "I didn't mean to insult you."

"It's cool," Lucas replied, shrugging his shoulders. "Really…I was just kidding. So you're new here huh?"

"Yeah, I just moved to Tree Hill," said Kaiana, adjusting her bag on her shoulder nervously.

"Oh really…well welcome to Tree Hill," Lucas responded, his voice deepening. "I'm sure you'll love it here." His voice has a slight flirtatious tone to it.

"You know what," Kaiana continued. "I'm beginning to think I'll love it here too."

Note: In case anyone was interested Kaiana's outfit consisted of: a white DKNY baby t-shirt with DKNY written across it in red stones, a red DKNY motorcycle style leather jacket that stopped at the waist, a pair of close-fitting jeans with a red broad belt slung on her hips, and red leather boots. Ok guys please review. I'm trying to get more comfortable with writing dialogue. It's more difficult than I thought it would be.
