New story; set in seasons
NOTE: All the university's in the story are made up
Peyton is very out of character. But that will change. Don't complain.
Lucas Scott; Player on the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team and only in his Junior year at Tree Hill High. Quiet with a short temper, he still managed to get himself a long-term girlfriend, Peyton Sawyer. At home he is very caring, helping his Mom, Karen Roe, with her café. He believes that to get a scholarship to help pursue his future he needs to work alongside his cocky half-brother.
Nathan Scott; Son of Dan Scott and Deb Roe. Cocky and mean but underneath this attitude, all he wants to do is escape his fathers power. Captain of the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team, in his Junior year. Working with his older half-brother, who he often arguing with. He is aiming for a scholarship at Hunter University, for the ability to be able to play in the NBA.
Brooke Davis; The nobody, she was the new girl who has become friends with Haley James. She's being trained in contemporary dance and would love to be able to attend the University of Carolina Dance. Long brown hair, with loving hazel eyes. A quiet, smart and thoughtful girl with an attitude, who is a hopeless romance, but what happens when she falls for a boy who was the opposite type of person she wanted to date?
Haley James; Also known as Tutor Girl. Used to be a close friend of Lucas Scott, until he left her for Peyton Sawyer. Her dream is to attend the University Of North Carolina, to become an English teacher. A graded student with a powerful mind, smart, pretty, dirty-blonde headed girl who will try not getting distracted in her final two years, by boys. But what if one, charming boy gets in her way, wanting her to give up her dreams.
Peyton Sawyer; Head cheerleader of the Tree Hill Ravens cheerleading squad. Bitchy, rude and will make anyones life a living hell. Why Lucas Scott would ever date her, nobody knows. Her long blonde locks, that reach just under her shoulders, work well with her bitchy smirk. When one person falls for herboyfriend, how bad could her reaction eventually come?

Season One, Episode One
It's only the beginning
Brooke Davis and Haley James walk in sync into the school building, chattering away about anything and everything.
"So, are we staring our new tutor session tomorrow after school?" Haley asks as they stop at her locker.
"Sorry Hales, my dance coach is nagging me to get more rehearsals in preparation for my show next month." Brooke said, smiling as she leant against the locker next to Haley's.
"It's fine, Brookie." Haley smiled. "I'll try and speed up so we can find your new locker."
"Ahem." Brooke heard from behind her. She spun and was face to face to Peyton Sawyer, Head Bitch. "Your in the way of my locker." She smiled, sweetly.
"Sorry." Broke spoke with a flat tone before moving away. She linked arms with Haley and they walked off.
"Hello Girlfriend." Lucas Scott said, as he wrapped his arms around her waist, his head in the crook of her neck. She turns around and kisses him on the lips.
"Hello to you to." She smiled, before kissing him again. He walked her towards her home room, his arm around her waist. Spotting Brooke in the distance, she stopped Lucas. "I need to speak to someone." She said, smiling a fake smile. He nodded and turned around, Peyton strolled towards Brooke and smiled a big fake smiled. "Hi Brooke."
"Hi." Brooke replied, looking around for something that could come in her direction.
"So, I heard you dance?" Peyton said happily.
"Yeah, I do contemporary." Brooke said, just as she was going to walk into the classroom.
"Wait" Peyton said, pulling her back. "I really need you on the cheerleading squad. You could be of really good use." Peyton asked, trying to act innocently.
"How about," Brooke paused for a bit. "No freaking way." She said as she spun about.
"Just think about it!" Peyton called, as Brooke disappeared. She felt someone put their hands around her shoulders, pulling her into an awkward hug.
"Hello Sawyer." Nathan Scott's voice rang, as they walked to their form room together.
"Nice to see you to, Scott." She smiled, Nathan was the only one who knew the real her. He saw past the bitch where her true identity hid.
"How was your summer, I'm sorry I missed your art auction." He babbled.
"Shhhh!" She said, putting a finger to his lips. "Nobody knows about that." She admitted.
"Sorry!" He said throwing, his hands up in defence. She smiled and walked into her home room, he noticed Haley walking and ran over to her. "Hi, you're a tutor. Right?" He asked
"What can I do for you, Scott?" She asked, impatiently.
"I need a tutor, Hannah." He said, completely guessing her name.
"It's Haley." She said, blankly.
"Sorry." He said, "So, are you going to help me or what?"
"I'll go with, or what." Haley says, as she turns around and walks off.
"Thanks alot, Hanna." He says purposely, he watches her turn and glare at him. He smiles and walks off.

Haley spots Brooke with Lucas across the quad and watches as they talk to each other intensely.
"I am not trying out for the cheerleading team, Lucas." She said, as she looked into his crystal blue eyes.
"Look, I'm not forcing you. But it may help you for university." He said.
"I don't want to prance about in a crappy choreography made by your girlfriend." Brooke retaliated. "You have not won a simple trophy because of her crappy dance moves. I'm not interested Lucas." Brooke said, once more before walking to an empty table.
"What were you and my boyfriend talking about?" Peyton said, glaring at Brooke.
"Retract the claws, Sawyer." Brooke said, as she pulled out her book.
"Well, are you going to answer me?" Peyton said, her hand on the hem of her short purple skirt, that went well with her dark red t-shirt.
"He was only trying to persuade me into joining the cheerleading team." She said, looking her in the eye. "Also, me and your boyfriend at lab partners. So you're going to have to bear him at least speaking to me." She smiled, sarcastically, before looking back at her book. She heard Peyton groan, and the tapping of her heels on the pavement.
"Hi Brookie." Haley chimed, joining Brooke at the table.
"Hi Tutor Girl!" Brooke smiled, as she put her book down.
"What was Peyt-Whore doing here?" Haley asked curiously.
"Me and Lucas are lab partners and she got all scared that he was talking to another girl." Brooke laughed. A book hit the table and a dark haired boy sat down.
"Hi Nate." Brooke said.
"Hi Brooke. Haley." He said, looking at her briefly before turning back to Brooke. "Peyton desperately needs you on the squad." He sighed, opening the large maths book.
"Tell her I said no." Brooke moaned, "For the third time."
"I will, after I study. Seeing as one of the tutors refused to tutor me." He said looking at Haley.
"I'm taking it was Hales who refused." Brooke said. He nodded. "C'mon Hales, you can tutor him. He's not one of the bad ones." Brooke said, only had known Nathan for a small period of time.
"Brooke, you've only been here for 4 months, counting the summer vacation. Nathan Scott is the head basketball player, he's an obnoxious ass who doesn't care about anyone but himself." She retaliated, staring Nathan in the eyes. "Now I have History." She hurried off, not once looking back.
"She's actually telling the truth." Nathan sighed.
"And to think I was helping you. Haley doesn't treat anyone like that, so what the hell did you do to her?" Brooke demanded, her arms crossed over, covering her 'NOFX' t-shirt.
"It was last spring, Peyton and Lucas had just started dating and me and Haley had started meeting at the Rivercourt, unexpected. I kissed her one evening and after that we lay on the Rivercourt, watching the stars. We both fell asleep and then I woke up. It was the morning and she looked so peaceful. I wrote a note and went to my car, waiting for her to wake up and find the note before I drove off." Nathan explained. "The following week, I was dating Melissa Jones. I couldn't let my rep down, as beautiful and kind and thoughtful as she is. We'd bonded, I got to know stuff about her and I blew it. She deserves someone better." Nathan sighed.
"You're right, she does need someone better than you." Brooke hissed, before picking up her bag and her book and stormed off. The bell rang and Nathan grabbed his stuff and walked to his Maths class.
"I hope you're ready for a surprise pop quiz!" His teacher announced. He sat down and groaned. He was going to fail. Again.

Haley was in the girls bathroom, reapplying her make-up. She had wiped away the smudged make-up and gotten rid of her tear stains.
"Boys suck." She said to herself, as she picked up her shoulder bag and left the room.
"Hi Haley." She heard a male voice behind her. She spun and saw Lucas Scott smiling at her.
"So, you don't speak to me for six months and all of a sudden you're talking to me like we're best pals." Haley sneered.
"Woah." Lucas said, holding his hands up in defeat. "I only came to give this to you." He said, passing her a folded sheet, with Brooke wrote on it. "Please hand it to her"
"That makes it even worse." She said. "Tell Karen, I'll be round the café later to pick my shifts up again." She told him, before walking away.
"Since when did you become so difficult?" Lucas asked her.
"You wouldn't know if I was difficult or not, because we're not best friends anymore." She spoke. "You left me for a bitch." She said, poking him in the chest. "You left, Mouth, Skills, Junk and Fergie." She said, as a crowd began to form. "And you left them to be popular. Thats why. And you got your wish Lucas Scott. You got it and you neglected your so called best friends!" She said, trying not to cry infront of him. "Maybe its a phase or maybe it's because Peyton told you not to." She said, "But whatever it is. I wish it had never, had happened." She whispered, before walking away. Pushing through the crowd, until Brooke pulled her into a hug.
"Let's go, Hales." She said leading her away, sending a death glare to Lucas.
"Haley!" He shouted, but Peyton pulled him away. "I need to go see her." He said to her.
"If you want to go after her, you can. But our relationship is done." She hissed, staring him in the eyes. He looked at her, debating in his mind. Before running off, towards where Haley had disappeared. "We are done, Lucas Scott!" Peyton shouted, before regretting it.
"Haley?!" He shouted, as he saw Brooke and Haley sat in the quad.
"Beat it, you ass!" Brooke shouted at him, as she held Haley close. He ran over and stood at the table.
"I'm sorry Haley." He said, he looked at the sobbing girl and realised that she was the only one who had stuck by him when he joined the basketball team. But then Peyton came and he was gone. "I should never have left you for Peyton. You were my best friend. I tried to love Peyton, you know I've had the hots for her for years. She's a bitch. And I know that now. If it means that we'll never be best friends again, then I'll be okay. As long as we're at least friends. I was a dumbass for leaving you."
"You sure are a dumbass." Haley finally mumbled. "But this is your new life. This is mine. Maybe Lucas, this is how it is meant to be." She spoke. "Maybe it isn't. But time will tell us the answer." She said, as she stood up and hugged Lucas. "I've missed you. But you need to realise who you are first." She said as she looked him in the eye and walked off to the bathrooms again.
"The wise words of Haley James." Brooke smiled. "I got your note, I'll see you tonight." She smiled, before walking off to Haley with their stuff.
'Brooke Davis is something else' He thought, he looked at his watch and decided to ditch the last part of English. It could wait.
-x-
"So, how long have you and Peyton been dating?" Brooke said, as she continued to type their essay.
"We had been dating for around 6 months until today." Brooke looked at him. "She told me if I ran after Haley, then we were done." He paused. "To be honest, I'm glad I did. I never knew how much of a bitch she was until I had dated her." He sighed.
"Done!" Brooke exclaimed. She pressed the 'Save' button and turned to speak to Lucas. "I'm sorry." She said, "It must be hard ending a relationship after that long." She related.
"I have a gut instinct that I did the right thing." He smiled.
"Can you keep smiling?" Brooke asked, he looked at her strangely. "I'm bored of the brooding face, Broody." She said, getting up and laying next to him on the bed.
"Broody?" He asked looking at her.
"Your new nickname." She smiled, looking at him.
"Then yours is Cheery." He said.
"Why Cheery?" She asked, still smiling.
"You're always smiling, with your little dimples on display." He told her, she automatically brought her hands to her face, covering her dimples. Lucas pulled them away. "Don't cover them, they suit you." Brooke hid her face as she blushed.
"Can you take me to the Rivercourt?" She asked.
"Why?" He said, looking at her get up.
"Haley missed it on the tour." Brooke explained.
"Let's go then." He said, opening the door. They walked down the road together, Brooke had pulled her MP3 out and they were listening to 'NOFX'. "I still can't believe your into rock and punk music!" Lucas said, as they reached the Rivercourt.
"What can I say, I have a good taste in music." She said, shrugging. She took the basketball from Lucas' hands, aimed and threw it. Nothing but net.
"And you're good at basketball?" He said, looking at he celebratory dance.
"No, that was just luck!" She said.
"Well, well, well." They heard behind them, causing them to both spin and look.
"Hi Mouth!" Brooke beamed, Haley had introduced them ages ago and they had a few lessons together.
"You know Mouth?" Lucas asked, turning to look at her. She nodded.
"Hi Brooke." Mouth said, as Brooke pulled him into a hug.
"You going to introduce me to your posse?" She asked.
"Yeah, this is Skills, Junk and Fergie." He introduced them all.
"Nice to meet you, Girlie." Skills said. "You too, Luke." He said, giving him a bro hug. "It's good to see you returned home."
"Home?" Brooke questioned, looking a Lucas again.
"This is where basketball started for me." He told her.
"Wait, so this is where the Lucas Scott basketball legend started!" Brooke said, acting all excited, obviously filled with sarcasm.
"I like this girlfriend of yours, Luke." Skills said.
"We're not dating." They both said in sync.
"Future girlfriend then." He said. "Are going to play or what?"
"We're playing." Lucas said. Mouth and Brooke sat at the bleachers, Skills and Lucas versus Junk and Fergie.
"What is Luke doing?" Peyton whispered to Bevin.
"Playing basketball, duh." Bevin whispered back. "Woah, who's the hottie?" She asked, pointing at Skills.
"I don't know." Peyton hissed.
"Sorry." Bevin sighed.

Lucas and Brooke were walking to Karen's Café after Skills and Lucas won 28- 25 against Junk and Fergie.
"Hi Hales!" Brooke exclaimed, as Lucas held the door open for them.
"Hi Brooke, hi Luke." She was much perkier than before.
"Hi Haley."
"Hi Lucas!" Karen exclaimed as she walked out of the kitchen, she spotted Brooke standing next to her son. "Who's this?"
"This is Brooke, a friend of mine." Lucas introduced her. "Brooke, this my mom, Karen." Karen and Brooke shook hands.
"It's nice to meet you, Karen." Brooke beamed. Karen liked Brooke already.
"Mom, if you want me, Hales and Brooke will close up." Lucas offered.
"Okay, see you at home in a bit, Luke." She said. "Nice to meet you, Brooke. Bye Haley!" She said as she left.
"Your Mom is so nice!" Brooke said, as she got a cloth and started wiping down tables.
"Not when she's strict!" Lucas moaned. They all laughed and quickly closed up.
"Brooke, me and you can walk home right? We're on the same road." Haley said.
"Yep." Brooke said, happily.
"Are you sure you don't need some sort of muscle to help you?" Lucas asked, in a joking way.
"You're right, I'll call Skills!" Brooke joked, as she put her arms around both them. "Our new friendship is blossoming already." She smiled.
"Hi Luke." Someone said behind them. They all spun to see Peyton there.
"Me and Hales are gunna go. See you Luke!" Brooke said, as Haley and Brooke both hugged Lucas and walked off.
"Hi Peyton." Lucas said, blankly.
"I didn't meant to end us. If never had to happen!" Peyton said, she needed Lucas for her to be able to get the Autumn Dance Queen.
"Look, Peyton. You were right to end us. We don't wor-" He was cut of by her lips on his.
"I love you, Luke." She lied. Lucas moved his face close to her ear.
"I know you're lying, Sawyer." He whispered, before spinning away and walking off.
"I AM NOT LYING! I LOVE YOU LUCAS!" She shouted.
"You may be telling the truth." He stopped and turned to look at her. "I just don't love you." He answered. He went to walk on, but she pulled him back.
"Please, listen to me Luke!" She cried, fake tears running down her cheeks. "I love you." She said, as she kissed him on the lips and stepped back. "I need you to know that." Lucas looked away and gulped.
"Goodbye Sawyer." He said.
"Bye Luke." She croaked. "I lied." She said, looking down. She saw his shadow walk off and she took off in the opposite way.

Dear Diary,
Tree Hill is well...it's interesting. So much drama, yet such loving people.
Haley and me, well. I feel as though we are more or less best friends all
ready. Even if other people disagree. Lucas is so much nicer without
Peyt-Whore connected to his hip. Nathan is afraid of opening his heart
up, I think he is scared that after his incident with Haley. There is no
future for their relationship. Peyton, Peyton, Peyton. She's hiding behind
someone she doesn't want to be. Why she is doing it? I don't know.
Maybe she's insecure? Maybe it's because she had a bad past. Maybe it
is for someone to notice her?
I like Tree Hill. I like my new friends: Haley, Lucas, Mouth, Skills, Junk
and Fergie. I like my new life and I hope Tree Hill will always be my home.
California was like no one cared for me. Here. I already have people looking
out form me. I feel safe, secure and well...wanted.
Tree Hill is my new home.
Brooke Davis
