Chapter One:

Meet Haley James

Haley lazily got out of bed. It was just another normal day in Tree Hill, North Carolina. She put on a pink cami and blue jeans and went to school. She parked her silver corvette in the school parking lot and got out. She began walking to school when she saw Felix, her boyfriend of three months. She kissed him hello, and began walking with him. Haley James was the most popular girl in school. She had everything, except a mom, that is. Her mom had died a while ago and Haley had trouble dealing with it, still.

"Hey, Haley, what's up?" Someone shouted.

The day went by and Haley was ready to go home. Felix came running up to her. "What's up, baby?" He asked with a lustful kiss.

"Not much, my dad's not going to be home 'till six. Wanna come over?" Haley asked not caring if she was being blunt.

"Yeah," Felix said with another kiss. "I'll drive." Haley handed him the keys and they left. Felix knew they weren't going to do much more than making out. Haley wanted to wait but had to keep up a reputation so wouldn't let Felix tell. They got into Haley's house and as usual, her parents were not around. They went up to Haley's bedroom and continued their steamy make out session on Haley's bed. After a while, Felix rolled off of Haley. She fixed her hair and he got up to look around. He opened a drawer and pulled out a pink thong. Haley, seeing this, grabbed it and put it back with a smirk. "I got to go, babe. See ya later." Felix said all of a sudden and gave Haley a peck on the lips.

"Bye."

Haley felt like going for a walk. She went to a place called the river court. She and her friend, Lucas, whom she had lost touch with since she became one of the pretty and popular, used to always come with. She sat down for a while when she heard someone dribbling a ball. She turned around and found a boy her age with dark hair and amazing blue eyes. "Hey," Haley said. "Who are you?"

"Nathan Scott. Just moved here."

"Haley James. So are you going to go to Tree Hill High?"

"Yeah, I start Monday." Nathan replied.

"Where are you from?" Haley asked

"I'm from California. My dad just got a job here so here I am. I'm just trying to find all the good places in this town." Nathan explained.

"Well, if you want I could show you some." Haley hinted.

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay, well this place is called the river court. Get it? River-Court?" Nathan chuckled at this girl's sense of humor. "Anyways, let's move on." They walked for a while in comfortable silence. "This is Karen's Café. Her son, Lucas, and I used to be pretty good friends."

"Until?" Nathan was curious.

"I don't really know. We just sorta stopped talking but you'll probably like him, since you seem to like basketball."

Nathan seemed interested. "Is he on the team?" He asked.

"Yep, the Tree Hill Ravens" Haley said with fake pep.

"You sound like a cheerleader." Nathan noticed.

"Yeah, I am. It's not really my thing but my friends Brooke and Peyton do it so we just though we could all spend more time together."

"That's cool."

Haley looked at her cell phone. "Oh, I should probably get going. Where do you live?"

"Right there." He pointed to a large house with a basketball hoop. "So I guess I'll see you later?"

"Yeah, sure. See ya Monday."

Monday morning came quickly. Haley was at her usual table laughing at something Brooke just said.

"So, girlies, wasn't that party totally awesome?" Brooke asked.

"Hell yeah!" Haley and Peyton cheered.

"Whoa, hottie alert." Brooke said pointing to a dark-haired, tall, muscular, blue eyed someone on the quad.

"That's Nathan Scott." Haley said receiving curious looks from Peyton and Brooke. "He and I hung out before the party on Friday. He's pretty cool." Brooke and Peyton gave her looks. "Okay, he's really hot!"

"Down, girl. You're taken. Remember?" Brooke said looking at Felix who was walking up to the table. He came up and gave Haley a kiss.

"What's up baby girl?" He looked at Haley. Brooke and Peyton were giving him annoyed looks. They always thought he was too cocky and not good enough for Haley.

"Uhmmm… Not much." Haley responded.

"There's a party at some guy's beach house Friday night. Want me to drive you?" Felix asked.

"Yeah, sure."

"Who's house?" Peyton asked.

"Uhm…He's a friend of Tim's. He just moved here. People say he's cool. Whatever." Felix found himself getting territorial.

"Sounds like fun." Brooke said with a wink to no one in particular.

It was four-thirty and most students had gone home. Haley just finished a meeting with other tutors. She loved tutoring and was really good at it. She was walking down a pretty deserted hallway. She heard someone coming up behind her and looked back to find Nathan. "Hey. What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I was just meeting with Coach Durham, or Whitey I guess." He said a little confused on what to call the old man. "What about you?"

"I tutor. I was just finishing some things up."

"That's cool." Haley smiled at Nathan's kindness and the walked to the parking lot. Haley looked at her car or where it should've been and found a note.

Hales,

I needed your car for a customer. Sorry Honey. See if you can catch a ride home today. I need to go out of town until Wednesday. Call me if you need anything.

Love,

Dad

Haley sighed, upset. Nathan looked at her, concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I guess. My dad just 'borrowed' my car." Haley said, annoyed.

"Do you want a ride?" Nathan asked.
