Chapter 1: I can't do this anymore

Nathan Scott sat in a chair in the library, hoping for a distraction. Normally he would be doing his homework or studying, but today was different. He sat in that chair and thought about how routine his life had become.

He glanced out the window and frowned. His thoughts drifted towards his girlfriend. Peyton Sawyer. The girl he had been dating since 10th grade. He loved Peyton he really did, but he wasn't in love with her. Their relationship had become stale, but neither one had made any moves to fix it. They both were too similar. He needed someone exciting and someone who wasn't afraid to take chances.

He wished he could be more like his brother Lucas. Lucas had all the girls after him and all the guys wishing they could be him. He was captain of the basketball team and the most popular guy in school. Lucas was the rebel of the family while Nathan played the good son.

The bell rang and he hurried out of the library and towards his locker. On the way he spotted Principal Green with two students who were obviously new since he hadn't seen them around before. Just before he passed by them, Principle Green waved him over.

"Nathan, just the person I was looking for. I was hoping you could show our new students around. This is the new preacher's son and daughter…"

"Actually, we prefer Brooke and Jake Davis" The girl spoke up. She grinned at Nathan and two of the most adorable dimples popped up beside her mouth. He couldn't help but notice how pretty Brooke was, her green eyes memorizing him.

"Nathan Scott" he said, reaching out to shake her hand.

"So Nathan, if you would be kind enough to show them around and help them find everything that would be good"

"Sure, Principal Green. No problem" Nathan said. He left so now it was just the three of them.

"So where are you guys from?" Nathan asked

"Kentucky" Jake said

"So is it a smaller town than Tree Hill?"

"Actually believe it or not, our town was bigger. There was a lot of trouble to get into"

"Yea and it was mostly Jake here" Brooke added

"Sure Brooke. You just keep telling yourself that" Jake shot back

No more was said between the two while they continued the tour.

They came to the cafeteria where Nathan led them to a table near the back, where a bunch of people were hanging out.

"Guys this is Jake and Brooke Davis. They just moved here from Kentucky"

"This is my brother, Lucas" Nathan pointed out. Both had the same piercing blue eyes and brooding look, but Lucas had blonde hair and that sexy bad boy look going on.

Jake nodded his head towards Lucas and Brooke gave him a dimpled smile. She had to admit he was hot, but was probably taken.

Nathan pointed to a curly blonde head girl next to Lucas. "This is my girlfriend, Peyton Sawyer. She's captain of the cheerleading squad".

Out of the corner of her eye, Brooke saw her brother admiring her with a twinkle in his eye. She smirked and knew that Nikki would be forgotten sooner than she thought.

"Well since no one is going to introduce me, I guess I'll do it myself. Hi, I'm Haley James" The other blonde at the table said. Brooke knew she was going to like her immediately.

Brooke felt like she already knew these people her whole life, instead of 3 minutes.

"So Haley, are you a cheerleader too?" Brooke asked

Haley laughed and shook her head. "Yea, like I could really be that flexible. I actually tutor after school here. What about you? Do you cheer?"

"Brooke was a lot of things, but not a cheerleader" Jake spoke up

Brooke shot him a look and turned back towards Haley. "I actually like to cheer but I never got the chance at my old school"

"I wonder why" Jake mumbled

"Well if you want to try out, we have a spot open on the squad" Peyton said, shooting Lucas a look.

He held up his hands in a defensive manner and said, "What?"

"Oh I don't know. How about the fact you broke her heart and she moved?" Peyton said, smirking. The fact that Natalie left was because she told her false facts about Lucas.

Nathan laughed and put his arm around Peyton's shoulder. He felt her tense up under his touch and dropped his arm. He was getting tired of this hot and cold mess from her. Maybe she had enough too and that was why she was acting like this.

"So Jake, how do you like Tree Hill so far?" Nathan asked

He saw Jake glance around, his eyes resting on Peyton. "I think I might like it here" he said.

Brooke looked around the table and rolled her eyes. She landed right in the middle of drama once again. She saw her brother staring at Peyton who was too busy trying to get Haley away from Lucas. Haley kept glancing at Nathan, waiting for him to say something to her and Brooke was just enjoying the entertainment, not knowing that she herself would soon join in.
