Hey everybody, this is my first fanfic, so please be gentle but also, criticism is nice. I would like to just take this time to leave a little bit of an authors note that you might want to look at before you continue on with the story. Thanks,

Jordan

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill, all I own is this plot line.

A/N: A couple main points that are a lot different then the show.

1. Haley is a world famous super model who is being shipped to Tree Hill.

2. Brooke and Peyton are cousins.

3. Peyton is a lot more cheery in this fanfic (please don't hate me if you like her broody)

4. Jake does NOT have Jenny but still knows Nikki.

5. Nathan is dating Rachel.

I hope I covered all the bases, if I didn't, please feel free to ask questions. Anyways, on with the story.

Chapter One: From the Catwalk to Tree Hill

Haley James climbed out of her black car and as she reached across the leather interior she looked towards her driver.

"Thanks Issac, I think I can handle it from here."

Issac nodded and then smiled, "As you wish Ms. James. I will pick you up at the end of the day."

Haley smiled, gave a small wave and slammed the car door shut. She made sure that Issac was gone and then headed off towards the building. She wasn't really in the mood to walk down the hallways and have everyone look at her. She was used to it, but this time, she just wanted to fit in. She really didn't want to be noticed, especially after the article about her in last weeks STAR magazine.

Flashback

Sexy international super model Haley James, 17, is seen leaving New York's local club drunk, stoned, and probably covered head to toe in lawsuits.

Haley slammed the magazine down and was utterly outraged. She dialed her manager, Miles Sterling, and as soon as she heard his voice on the other end, she began to flip.

"Miles, what the hell is with this article?" Haley screamed.

"What article?" Miles asked

"The article in Star magazine. Don't play dumb, I know you know what article I mean." Haley yelled, not sure if that even made sense. She looked back down at the picture. Her boyfriend, local actor, Justin Farginni, had his arm around her shoulder, they were both slumped over, smiles on their faces. She couldn't remember that night at all.

"Oh yes, that one. Me and Fiona are on immediate damage control." His voice sounded shaky. Haley took a deep breathe and released it slowly.

"Thanks." She looked down at her hands. "When are the parentals showing their sorry asses?" Haley asked. She knew she was in trouble when her parent's decided to get involved. Normally they were off halfway across the world, completely oblivious to Haley and her outstanding career.

"They should be arriving any minute." Miles said. He said his goodbye and hung up the phone. Haley got up from the couch and went into the bathroom to grab some advil to ease her pounding head.

End Flashback

So, worse came to worse. Lots of yelling, kicking, screaming, and crying. Then her parent's handed her a one way ticket to Tree Hill, North Carolina. They told her that she would stay there until she could get into shape. Haley, naturally, wasn't happy about it. She didn't want to leave New York city, her friends, her fabulous life style, just to go to a town that she hadn't even heard of.

As soon as she walked in the front doors of the drab highschools she normally only saw at photo shoots, she headed straight for the bathroom. Luckily, no one was in there and it was easy for her to change. Currently she was in jeans, a teeshirt, her hair in a tight ponytail. Stepping into a stall she changed into a tight fitting green halter top, tight black pants, and put her hair down. She inserted her green hoops and her green studded belly ring and after applying lipgloss, she was as good as gold. She knew that dressing like this wasn't good for the cause of "blending in" but it wasn't in her nature not to look up to par. She stuffed her old clothes into her bag, did a final once over in the mirror, and carefully stepped out of the bathroom. The hallways were quickly starting to fill up and the faster she got to her locker the sooner. If only she knew where that was.

Haley aimlessly wondered around the hallways, eyes following her everywhere she went, until she finally reached the office. She closed the door softly and stepped up to the desk. There, a rather plump lady, her cheeks rosy, smiled up at her.

"Can I help you?" the lady asked sweetly.

"Um, yeah I think." Haley smiled "My name is Haley James, I was told to come here before I started any of my classes."

"Oh yes, let me just print out your schedule and then I'll set you up with a student guide." The lady put her glasses at the tip of her nose. "Feel free to have a seat darling."

"Thank you." Haley sat in the cold, metal folding chair and looked over at the magazines. There was her picture on the cover, she turned away, trying not to cry. Trying not to remember why she was here.

The lady came up to Haley several minutes later, a couple after the bell rang, with another girl. The girl was tall, brunette, and had a giddy smile on her face. The lady handed Haley her schedule and then smiled sweetly.

"Haley, this is Brooke Davis. She is going to be your guide." The lady turned to Brooke.

"Miss Davis, this is..." she was cut off.

"Oh yes, I know who she is." Haley blushed. The lady nodded and headed off towards her desk.

"It's a pleasure to meet you miss Haley James."

"Please, Brooke, just call me Haley."

Brooke hooked her arm in Haley's and they headed out to the hustle and bustle of the Tree Hill hallway. "Okay, Haley, let's begin with finding your locker."

Haley looked at the slip. "564."

"Perf!" Brooke yelled.

"Huh?" Haley was confused.

"Oh sorry, I just meant that your locker is right across from mine. It's wonderful, you can meet broody, and P. Sawyer, and Jakie, and Natey. Oh this is going to be fun."

"Oh yes, so much fun." Haley said sarcastically. It wasn't that she didn't like Brooke, she actually rather liked her company, she just wasn't sure if she was ready to meet a whole bunch of new people.

OTH

Brooke arrived at the locker and immediately entered a group of kids. Brooke gave a blonde haired boy a kiss and then gave a blonde haired girl a hug.

"Hey guys, I want you to meet someone." Brooke stepped over to show a very nervous Haley.

"OMG! It's Haley James!" Peyton squealed.

"Please, just call her Haley." Brooke smiled as she said it. She looked at Haley who just nodded.

"Okay, Haley." Peyton looked down. "I'm um...I'm...my name is...um?"

"Peyton Sawyer." Jake finished.

"Yeah, my name's Peyton." Peyton shook Haley's hand, blushing slightly. She put her hand on Jake's shoulder "And this is my boyfriend Jake."

"Nice to meet you."Haley said, shaking his hand.

"Then of course, you know me." Brooke started "But meet my boyfriend, Broody."

Haley let out a chuckle. "Your name is Broody?"

Lucas blushed. "No, I'm Lucas Scott. My wonderful girlfriend calls me Broody though."

"Okay, I think I get it."

The group laughed and they all headed down the hall.

"So what brings you to Tree Hill?" Lucas asked, clear confusion on his face.

"Good question Broody." Brooke said, slapping his butt playfully.

Haley laughed and then looked serious, "Well, I don't know if you people read it in the fucking tabloids, but I got into a little bit of trouble last week and so my parent's decided to ship me here."

"Oh, yeah, I read that." Peyton added "Did you really get that many lawsuits?"

"No, I didn't get any. Well, not that I can remember. It was a pretty wild night."

"Well, we have some pretty wild nights here too." Brooke smiled confidently.

"Really?" Haley was curious. How could such a small town be any fun.

"No." Jake answered. "Only a few occasional wild parties."

"Lot's of keg and drunken fights." Lucas said.

"Don't forget the drunken sex." Brooke added. Haley looked at all of them. It seemed just like New York.

"But it probably won't compare to what you've seen in New York." Peyton said. They all sat down in the classroom, Haley wasn't even sure if she was supposed to be there. The bell rang and the class slowly settled down. The teacher stood and read from a sheet of paper.

"We have a new student joining us today. Her name is Haley James."

The crowd began to gasp and whisper about the infamous Haley James.

"Please, stand up miss James."

Haley nodded and rose to her feet. She smiled to the crowd. That's when one girl spoke up.

"What, people, stop gawking. She's a celeb. No big." a red head yelled.

"Yeah, turn your eyes away." a blonde girl added. The red head looked over a boy, Haley followed his gaze. He had raven colored hair and the most beautiful blue eyes Haley had ever seen before. It was almost as if they could hypnotize you right then and there.

"Thank you miss Gatina." The teacher said, "and miss Mirsky." Haley sat down and turned to Brooke.

"Who were those girls?"

"The blonde is Bevin Mirsky. She is the dumbest person you are ever going to meet." Peyton said.

"The red head is Rachel Gatina. She's smart, but a total bitch. Steer clear of Rachel Gatina." Brooke warned.

"What about the boy?"

"Oh, that's Nathan. He's my brother." Lucas said.

"You didn't tell me you had a brother." Haley said harshly.

"It never came up. I only met you about seven minutes ago."

"Good point, sorry."

"Anyway, leave him alone." Jake said.

"Why?"

"Because, he's dating Rachel and god knows she'll kill you if you as much look at him the wrong way." Peyton explained.

"Dirty little whore." Brooke added under her breathe as the bell to end homeroom rang. Haley grabbed her books and as she was about to leave three people stepped in front of her. Haley's group of friends stopped to watch the interaction.

"I don't think we've met." Rachel said, "I'm..." she was cut off.

"Rachel Gatina. I know." Haley said with a bored tone.

"Oh and this is..." she pointed to Bevin as she was cut off again.

"Bevin Mirsky." she nodded at Nathan. "And that's Nathan Scott."

Rachel looked at her. Haley was looking into Nathan's eyes, swimming in the deep blue color of them. If only she knew how lost he was in her eyes as well.

"Well, Haley, what brings you to.." she was cut off one final time.

"Is this whole introduction thing over because I really should be going." Haley walked past a dumbfounded Rachel, a confused Bevin, and a lovestruck Nathan.

Yes, Haley has sure made a first impression, and it's only been an hour.
