A long way to love

Eighteen-year-old Brooke Davis was not your average teenager. She had everything a girl could wish for, she lived in Beverly Hills, had the coolest friends, she was on most magazine covers, and was stinking rich, and on top of that she had all the new clothes. She was also the daughter of the best software producer in the world Shane Davis. But all that came crashing down on her.

Brooke stormed into her dad's room, startling him, as he was closing boxes. "Do we really have to move?" she asks for the millionth time that day, putting her hands on her hips. Shane gave her one look, she knew very well they were moving to Tree Hill and still she kept on asking. "You know what my answer is going to be." He hated upsetting his only daughter, but he had gotten a better job there, and it really was the best for them. He wanted Brooke away from those snooty girls she called friends, they were a bad influence on her.And he wants to spend more time with her. " Dad it isn't fair!! I've lived here most of my life and it's my last year in High school, my friends are here and now I have to move to some stupid suburb called Tree Hill. And who calls a town Tree Hill... Is there some famous tree on a hill i don't know about?" she says as her thoughts drift away.

"Honey, i don't know why they call the town Tree Hill. Look at it as an adventure. I know how much you love adventures." He says as he smiles at her. " It just isn't fair, last year we moved for me... from what happened in L.A." He knew what she was revering to,that year was like hell for her. He could see the tears form in her eyes and the sadness beneath it. He would have moved to the North Pole if she had asked. Dad really didn't know how much this move was affecting her. This was the only real home she had ever known, the only place she felt save and protected from the world . She was going to be head cheerleader, she was going to be part of the home comitee and she was going to be class president, she would have been able to plan the theme for the prom. " Brooke, i am not changing my mind at all, you are just going to have to deal with it."

I turn around and storm to my room, just thinking of the past brought tears to her eyes and a huge sadness hidden beneath the it. For effect i slams the door shut. The room was empty, except for the laptop and her handbag. As she sits down next to her laptop she notices that she has three unopened messages. The first one was only junk mail. The second one from Tree Hill High, but she skips that one. And the last one was from her best friend; Mia. Mia had been the first person she met when they moved to Beverly Hills. She has black hair and the greenest eyes. Mia was perfect in every way. Her only flaw was that she loved gossip and she loved gossiping. She knew every sad detail of everyone's life. It could come in handy at times. Fortunatly Mia woul never gossip about her friends. Brooke opened the message and as she read it brought tears to her eyes.

Brookey... I am so sorry that i am not there. I miss you already. Mummy had sprung this trip on me. I tried convincing her that I ouht to be there, but she wouldn't listen. You know how horrible mum can be. I can't wait to graduate and get out from under her. ( I can't believe that you won't be there when i get back. Brooke, you are the bestest friend a girl could have. Don't worry too much... I'll come to visit, and i'll keep in touch via email. But anyway... Did you know Kevin broke up with Bevin. Aparently he caught her and his brother making out in his room. When he confronted her about it, she said that she never liked him, that she was just using him to get to his brother. I know. Harsh huh... Bye Mia XOXO

The last part of the email made her laugh. Mia just couldn't get through a day or email without gossiping. Dad came into the room and motioned for me that the limo had arrived. I picked up my things and looked around the room, remebering all the fun i had in here. Then i closed a door to another part of my life.

I refused to talk to dad as we drove to the airport. He was ruining my life with this move, wasn't he? She got a feeling that this move was going to be good, but she quickly shook it off. After a half an hours waiting at the airport the plane took off, and they were on their way.

MEANWHILE IN TREE HILL:

Lucas Scott, Haley James, Jake Jagelski, Peyton Saywer and Nathan Scott were the "cool" group as everyone revered to them. It was strange for them. It didn't mean just because the three guys play basketball that they should be treated differently. Haley went from nobody to Nathan Scott's girlfriend. Peyton is a cheerleader for the Tree Hill Ravens.

The five of them were at the Rivercourt, the boys played basketball and the two girls sat on a picnic table. Haley saw Peyton stare at Lucas. The stare was defnitly not a friendshippy stare. It was much much more. But wasn't Peyton supposed to be dating Jake? Haley waved her hands infront of Peyton's face. " Peyton, you are staring." Haley sing songed. She had a great voice. "So, what's it to you?" Peyton asked. Haley couldn't believe what she was saying. "Peyton, you are staring at luke as if he was a piece of meat. And you are staring at the wrong guy. Jake is your boyfriend, isn't he?" Haley asks. Peyton looks over to Haley. "No, we broke up. Haley just stay the hell out of my life. Keep living your perfect little life."

Haley was stunned at the way Peyton spoke to her. Lately she had become more distant and she closed her feelings from everyone. Their friendship isn't how it was anymore. The guys finished the game, Lucas pointed to Haley. They had been best friends since they were in diapers. " Nate, let's pick her up on our shoulders. You know how much she hate's hights. Lucas says. They walk over to where Haley is standing and picks her up. "Nate, Luke! Put me down!!... now!!" Haley screams as she tries to kick them both. They put her down laughing. "Luke this was all your idea wasn't it?" Haley says as she hits him.

Lucas pulls her into a bear hug. Peyton watches them from a distance. She doesn't mean being so ugly to Haley, it's just that she is jelous. Haley gets to hug Lucas, and be near him every moment of every day. Why can't she. She is pretty sure that she is in love with Lucas. The problem was that he only saw her as a friend. She was going to make him see her diverently.

"Pizza at our house guys?" Lucas shouted. On the way to his car he saw her in the limo, their eyes locked... A girl with brown hair and beautiful brown eyes.A girl he would not forget. A girl he wanted.

BACK IN THE LIMO AFTER THE AIRPLANE LANDED.

They had landed. There was a limo waiting for them. Dad had told her to be prepared for the heat. She wanted to spite her him, so she put on the warmest suit she had. That was a mistake. She was dripping with sweat. She took off her jacket and heard her dad laughing. " I told you." She opened another window, just as they were driving past a basketball court. She looked out. She saw him. A guy with wavy blond-brown hair. Their eyes locked. He had the bluest eyes she had ever seen.
That was the guy she wanted.

Maybe this was going to be an adventure. She loved adventures.
