This has been in my mind for several days now and I just decided to put it on paper and see how it turns out. Enjoy.

Dear Diary,

Since this is my first journal, I suppose I shall first explain who I am and my sudden interest in starting my own little secret book. My name is Lily Scott and I'm from Tree Hill, North Carolina. I'm the daughter of Karen Roe and Keith Scott. Sadly, my mother died while giving birth to me and my father died several months before I was born. Now, my caretaker is Aunt Brooke who may I add, is the gossip mogul of the county. Anything you want to know about someone she'll tell you, and if she doesn't seem to have an answer to you're question she'll find it out no matter what extent she may have to go to. Though there aren't any words to explain my love for Aunt Brooke, I had hoped my guardian would be my half brother, Lucas Scott, but he's been pretty tied down lately. You see, his father Dan Scott, has given him a big old chunk of property to start off a farm for his family as a wedding present. He recently got married to Lindsey Strauss-Scott although much respected by her father's achievements many of Lucas' friends disapprove of her including Brooke, but we'll get to that later on. Now let me explain to you the reason for starting my own secret journal. I've been holding this in since last week and I've wanted to tell someone, but I just don't seem to have the stamina to do so. Also, excuse me diary if I miss several parts that you may find important to the understanding of what's going on, I'm sure I'll realize it sooner or later and add any essential events. Where do I begin? Oh right about two weeks previous from today…

"Lily dear, would you like some cookies? I baked them myself and you must be awfully tired after all that work you've done at school today."

"Yes, please Aunt Brooke."

Entering the cozy living room, Brooke placed the tray containing several cookies and two glasses of milk on the table that lay right next to the window. While Lily sat on a simple couch that was seated beside the window parallel to another couch that Brooke was about to make herself comfortable on. Taking a sip from the milk Brooke looked out the window noticing Lucas Scott carrying a sack of fire wood and some fruits to the house across the street. Without hesitation Brooke involuntarily pointed out to Lily where her brother was going.

"Lily, where do you think your brother is going today?" She asked, though knowing the reason.

Looking outside following her brother, she realized Lucas was walking towards Ms. Sawyer's house. Ms. Sawyer, also known as Peyton was her school teacher. People believed that she was pregnant, but had no clue where the father was. She didn't live with anyone, but said that her partner was off taking care of his mother who has become tremendously ill. Many people, however, didn't give in to her tail, but felt that she was awfully lonely in that hideous house of hers. It wasn't very inviting; the wooden fence was beyond wrecked and the property was filled with weeds. Also, the house was extremely small, the woof seemingly leaked every winter, and it was believed to be a miracle that the woof didn't collapse.

"I have no idea. It seems to me that he is caring some items to Ms. Sawyer, maybe I should help."

"Honey, I don't think that would be necessary he seems to have it all under control."

"I wouldn't mind, maybe Peyton might need some company."

"Oh, trust me right now she'll be nothing but lonely. You don't have to waist your time over there go out and have fun with Jamie."

"Sure." Lily shrugged it off and left.

I'm sorry that this was very short, but I want to see the response before I go further into the story. I'll only continue if I have a decent amount of reviews. Also, if you guys have any suggestions to what you may want to happen tell me and I'll try to incorporate it into the story.
