A/N- TvCrazed came up with this idea of Baley in college so this goes out to them. Here is the first chapter.
Haley's voiceover: Graduation marks the end of the year and quite possibly a new beginning. College around the corner many things can happen. What we chose to happen is our greatest benefit. Meeting new people or hanging with the old. You will always have a place in this world even though it seems to be getting bigger each and every day.
Haley James stood on the river court watching as her best friends. Lucas and Nathan play a game of one on one. It was going to be the last time in awhile where they could all hang out together because they were heading off to college tomorrow.
Nathan and Lucas Scott are brothers and Haley's best friends. Nathan had dated Haley awhile back but both decided that there really wasn't chemistry between them. Haley has known Lucas and Nathan since they were kids and this will be the first time since they met that they would go their separate waves.
Nathan and Lucas were heading off to Duke because both of them got basketball scholarships to play. They were going to be Duke Blue Devils. Haley James would be attending the University of North Carolina.
Lucas would be studying Literature and Nathan would be studying Sports Management all the while playing basketball.
Haley will also be studying Literature in hopes of becoming a teacher in the distant future. After Haley decided that she liked tutoring during high school she realized that maybe teaching would be the way to go, so that is her plan.
As Haley sat at the bench, she watched as Nathan went in for a dunk and in turn winning the game.
"Nathan, is that always going to be your finishing shot?" Lucas asks annoyed as he and Nathan sat down next to Haley.
"What? As opposed to the fade away," Nathan states as a smile.
"I'm going to miss this," Haley says in a whisper.
Lucas looked at Haley and smiled sadly.
"Hales, Nathan and I aren't going to be away forever…we will see each other," Lucas says.
"Yeah, like on the holiday breaks and stuff…plus there is e-mail," Nathan says with a smile.
"I know but it won't be the same you guys…we were the three musketeers and with you two gone it's just me."
"And what's wrong with being you, Hales?" Lucas asks.
Haley looked up at Lucas and smiled.
"I don't know who me is."
"Well that's what college is all about…finding yourself…Hales you are going to do fine…trust me," Nathan says with a smile.
"When did you get so philosophical Nathan Scott?" Haley asks with a laugh.
Nathan just shrugs his shoulders and hugs Haley.
"So, Hales, have you packed yet?" Lucas asks.
"Yep. I got my room assignment and the name of my roommate, Brooke Davis."
"She's got a hot name," Nathan replies with a smirk.
"Sicko," Haley states with a laugh.
"Come on you two, my mom wants to see us before we leave tomorrow," Lucas says as he starts walking towards Karen's Café.
"All I know is my roommate better not be annoying as hell because I will tell you one thing…if she is my life became just a lot worst."
"Haley, you are such a drama queen," Nathan says as he shakes his head and runs away before Haley can slap him.
Brooke Davis was in her room in LA packing up her boxes before she headed off to college. Her 2 best friends, Peyton Sawyer and Rachel Gatina walked in and smiled.
"Peyton, our little girl is growing up," Rachel smirked as Peyton began to laugh.
Brooke looked at them annoyed.
"What are you guys doing here?" Brooke asks.
"Well, our best friend is leaving us so we figured we would hang out the last day here," Peyton says with a smile.
Brooke shakes her head in agreement.
Brooke, Rachel and Peyton have known each other since they were little. When Brooke had told them that she was leaving for college, to UNC they thought she was out of her mind. Brooke is going to study Social Work. Rachel and Peyton had decided not to go to college, instead Peyton is going to try and start her own record label and Rachel wants to be an actress.
Brooke walks up to her desk and grabs the picture off of it. It is a picture of her and another girl. Brooke has her arms encircling her waist and she is kissing her cheek. Both girls have smiles on their faces.
Rachel and Peyton and look at Brooke with sadness.
"Brooke, are you okay?" Peyton asks with concern.
Brooke looks at Peyton and smiles.
"I'm fine P. Sawyer, just reliving memories is all."
"Have you talked to Danielle yet?" Rachel asks as Peyton glares at her.
"Last time we talked was at graduation…we already said our goodbyes…you guys quit staring at me like that…we both knew that with the distance it was going to be too much so we decided to end things…it's not the end of the world…I'm fine."
"We're just worried, Brookie," Rachel says honestly.
Brooke looks at them and smiles.
"I know you guys are and I love you for that but I really need to start packing or I am going to be running really late."
"So, do you have the name of your roommate?" Peyton asks with a smile.
"Her name is Haley James."
"Pretty name," Rachel says.
"I agree but I am meeting her tomorrow so let's not dwell on how pretty this girl's name is and help me pack my stuff up."
"Yes ma'am," Peyton and Rachel says as they solute her. Brooke looks at them and smiles. She was really going to miss the dynamic when she will be in North Carolina.
