Prologue
It was the summer between 8th and 9th grade, Lucas Scott and best friend Haley James where on the roof of Lucas's mom café. As they were throwing water balloons at each other and playing the golf course they had built last summer, it was there hide out. It's where they felt like two normal people. In the wall was a loose brick they kept a box, inside was their predictions of what their predictions were for the following year. Haley stood on a balance beam and said "Luke, I don't want this summer to end." Haley said with a big smile on her face and her honey blonde hair up in a messy bun. "I'm with you, there but I want to try out for the varsity basketball team, shocking right?" He replied as he sat on the ground, Haley joined him. "Luke, look you know I'm your best-friend I don't think you should you know Nathan and them, and besides you never played anywhere then the river court, and if you join who's going to do dumb stuff with me?" Haley answered, as she got up saw a purple balloon picked up and threw it at Luke. "Oh, I guess that was the milk balloon." She replied with a smirk. He turned around and said "you are so dead." 20 minutes later, they entered the empty café grabbed a couple of towels and dried themselves off. Haley made green tea for herself and Vanilla Coffee for Lucas, with a pack of sugar, and 2 cups of milk, and handed Lucas the hot cup.
Haley joined Lucas at the table. Lucas knew that Haley only made tea when she needed to tell him something. "Hales, what is it?". Lucas said as he sipped his vanilla coffee. She got up from her seat, and paced around the empty café. "Promise you won't laugh." She asked. "I promise Hales". Lucas responded straight forward. "You know that kid I was tutoring Cody Matthews, well he asked me out on a date, and before I could even respond he leaned over the desk and kissed me. I don't know what to do, he is cute. I'm confused; I'm his tutor and friend. It's not like I'm not interested I am I've liked him since 8th grade when he told me he liked me. "First sit and calm down. Second look Hales, your usually good at these things, I say follow your heart Hales. I want you to be happy. You know I want the best for you and that I love you don't you?" He explained. "Yeah, why where you shocked when I was telling you about my first kiss. I know what you did with those too girls what was their names again... Melissa and Brittany.
The evening approached, the sky changed from a orange with a mix of purple to a pink with red then to a still dark blue, as Brooke Davis and best friend Peyton Sawyer were getting ready for a party at Peyton's on and off again boyfriend's beach house. Brooke wore a blue mini dress and Peyton wore a tank top with short shorts. They arrived; they were always the first ones. They helped set up by putting the chips, Nathan's dad's Vodka and light beer. A couple of minutes later the basketball team came there was Tim Smith, Nathan's best friend. Jake Jagelski Nathan's friend and he also had a thing for Nathan's girlfriend Peyton, Davonne White and the rest of the team. "Yo, Nate where them girls?". Tim asked eagerly. "There in the kitchen why?". He replied confusingly. "Not those girls, the flexible ones." Tim said with a smirk. "I can't I have a girlfriend remember Peyton". Nathan whispered.
We can ditch this place and go to the strip club and watch those flexible girls". Nathan didn't responded. The living room was getting full, as the music got louder the booze got emptier with red cups and chips all over the floor. And played beer pong with actual beer. They didn't hear the footsteps of Nathan's parents, they entered Deb and Dan Scott stood there horrified at what they saw.
