Starting back from the "roots" of Tree Hill, this story will follow a new path of twists and turns. Nathan and Peyton are still dating and somewhat in love, Lucas and Haley are inseparable best friends and Brooke is busy being peppy and keeping the party alive. Nathan and Lucas are aware they are half-brothers but, want nothing to do with each other and keep their distance as much as possible. I'm going to start off the first chapter with a basic plot so everyone knows where the characters stand in this story and then from then on things will take big turns and twists and lead Tree Hill in a big whirlwind of drama, romance and excitement. I want everyone to love this fanfic so please review and tell me what you want to see happen in Tree Hill and you just might see it turn up in the story! So read, enjoy and please review!

"Peyton, peyton, peyton...I knew you liked Nathan but rumor has it you're in loooooove"

"Brooke, I don't know who told you that garbage but, I'm not in love, it's just a silly fling and everyone knows that."

"Uh-huh, besides you've got your eye on the other Scott, right?"

"What skanky-hoe friend of yours told you that?"

"uhh you my dear, don't you remember, jeez who knew all it took to get information out of you was a few beers."

Brooke gave an evil laughed and Peyton looked at her nervously

"I told you that I liked Lucas Scott?" ,waves her hand in the air as if it doesn't bother her, "you made that up with the rest of your trash gossip so, don't be spreading it around."

"Don't worry Peyt, I won't let it get back to Nate, if that's what you're worried about."

Brooke laughed and walked away, leaving Peyton standing alone outside Tree Hill High School.

"Cheating on me with Brooke Davis?...i didn't know I was that bad to look at"

Peyton forces a laugh and turns to stare her all-star, basketball player boyfriend in the eye.

"Please don't let your ego get to you that much Scott, your head is big enough already"

"It's tough not to have a big ego when you're the best basketball player in the state of North Carolina and the hottest, if I don't say so myself"

Peyton rolls her eyes and turns around walking backwards so she faced Nathan as she talked...she was walking away from him.

"That's all debatable"

The bell rang and Nathan shook his head as he ran to catch up with a group of guys.

"Lucas please...you're not going to make me watch that stupid movie again are you?"

"Great Expectations is a classic Dickens book Hales, and if you aren't going to read the book you should at least watch the movie"

"We've watched it every Friday for the past four weeks, isn't about time we do something else?"

"No we haven't, last Friday we watched Grease, which if you ask me was a waste of time because there was no meaning behind that movie at all."

"If you're going to talk classic movies then, Grease is by far in that category...don't you know anything about good movies"

"I know, Grease isn't one of them..."

"Enough already...you're boring me to death with this conversation! Can't we talk about something interesting...like the upcoming elections or about...basketball, you made the Varsity basketball team and you haven't even mentioned it once!"

"uhh...we're not old enough to vote and I'm not drunk or insane enough to talk about Dan & Nathan Scott"

Haley waves her hand in the air as if to dismiss his last comment.

"Fine Lucas, have it your way but, you know you're dying to discuss the republican convention, it was so good..."

Lucas sped up his pace to get a few steps in front of Haley. As she ran to catch up with him, he drowned out her talk of the news...

"Wasn't it such an adrenaline rush when those protestors came in...and did you see how full Madison Square Garden was...I wish people would gather around for me like that...and did you see when........"

"La La La La....can't hear you Hales...oh look, here's my room I'll talk to you at lunch"

Haley waved bye and skipped along to her class a few doors down.

A/N: Ok, I know it wasn't very long but, I just wanted to give you a sense of who the characters were and their personalities. Nathan being the big-shot basketball player, Peyton being the artist who feels trapped in her own self, Brooke the loud, peppy cheerleader a.k.a the gossip-mill of the school, Haley is shy but, reveals her true self to Lucas which, will change in time and Lucas being the low-key basketball player who admires from a far. Let me know what you guys think so far and review please!
