Room 311, Haley looked down at the piece of paper in her hands, that's the room she was assigned to with a roommate by the name of Brooke Davis, she sighed and opened the door to her room for the next school year. She walked in and placed her bags down on what she guessed was her side of the room since it was the empty side. She turned and took in her surroundings, the room was purple, wasn't a great color but at least it wasn't exactly pink. The other side of the room, which she figured what Brooke's was all decorated in purple and gold, she walked over and looked at some of the pictures that covered the walls, desk and nightstand of her new roommate. One girl seemed to be in them all so she figured that was this Brooke girl, there ones with her and friends, a dog, her family.

"Alright.. see you girl's later!!" Brooke walked into the bedroom, and looked to see this girl staring at her pictures "um, can i help you with something?"

"Oh yeah." Haley turned and looked at Brooke and put her hand out "I'm Haley.."

Brooke nodded not even acknowledging her hand "My new roommate?" she looks Haley up and down "I guess you'll do.."

"oh.."

Brooke smiled widely "Well I'm Brooke Penelope Davis!" she clasped her hands together "head cheerleader here at Tree Hill Academy. I'm also running for Class President this year, so hopefully you'll vote for me"

"you're rather bouncy" Haley pointed out.

"I guess so, why don't you tell me a little bit about you"

"Well I'm Haley James, I'm from Charlotte, um lets see, I'm a good student, i tutor.."

"oh you tutor? How fun" Brooke rolled her eyes a little bit. "well girly girl, classes do not start for 4 more exciting carefree days, so just to give you a heads up there are 4 parties till then. I probably won't attend any till the last one, that's the real fun.." Brooke walks over and Looks at Haley's side of the room "do you know what you're gonna do to your side yet. My last year roommate did the same color scheme as me, it helped make the room a whole."

"I haven't really decided yet.. I have my comforter and all that stuff in that box" Haley pointed to a big box.

"Oh goody!" Brooke exclaimed "let me help" she ran over and opened the box, her face dropped as she pulled out the comforter. "it's red.."

"Yeah, i like red.." Haley walked out and took the comforter out of Brooke's hands.

"well I guess it's alright tutorgirl"

"tutorgirl?" Haley asked confused.

Brooke nodded, she walked over and laid on her bed against the pillows. "yeah, i mean you are a tutor.. and it's easier to remember compared to your name Helen.."

"Haley"

"Yes that's what I said Helen, keep up with me"

Haley just rolled her eyes and took out her sheets and started to set up her bed "so is there a curfew around here or something?"

Brooke just laughed which caused Haley to turn and look at her confused "Curfew? Who ever pays attention to those things. I sure don't..." Brooke looked at the clock and sat up quickly "look at the time! I must go be the social butterfly that I am!" she stood up and headed for the door then turned and looked at her new roommate "do you want a tour of the campus? I can show you all the awesome places to hang out with.." Haley hesitated for a moment "please? I'll make sure it's fun"

"I guess so.." Haley just shrugged, what harm could it do? She had taken a tour already when her parents took her to visit the school, but to know what places to hang out and stuff could help.

"Alright, good!" Brooke went over grabbed Haley's arm and they were out of the door.

- - - - - - - - - -

The tour was going decent so far, Brooke showed Haley the lunch room, the library which Haley was surprised that she even knew where it was. Now they were walking in the quad which seemed to be filled with students.

"The quad is a nice place to come during lunch, and to just hang around at night, and it always has hot guys.." Brooke explained, then she grabbed Haley's arm making them both stop walking "be still my heart..."

"huh?" Haley looked at her roommate confused.

"Lucas Scott.." Brooke sighed happily, like a love struck girl.

"Who is Lucas Scott?"

"Shh, don't say it too loud" Brooke dragged Haley to the side. "Lucas Scott is one of the stars on the basketball team and the boy my heart has been yearning for, for the last 2 years."

"then why don't you go for him?"

"Because he's dating Peyton Sawyer.."

"and Peyton Sawyer is?" Haley looked to Lucas figuring it was the blonde girl sitting next to him laughing and playing with his hair, her gaze then turned to a tall dark haired boy sitting next to this Lucas Fellow "who's that?"

Brooke looked and smiled "Nathan Scott.."

"Oh" Haley looked back at Brooke then back at Nathan then at Brooke again "Lucas' brother?"

"Yeah" she nodded "it's a long confusing story though, Lucas is older by a couple months, they'd don't have the same father though, only the same mother.."

"Really?"

"Really, think he's hot?"

"who Nathan?" Haley looked over at him and smiled, yeah she thought he was good looking, really good looking. She looked back at Brooke and shrugged "He's alright"

"too bad he's taken by Rach-ho" you could hear in her voice she did not like this girl.

"Rach-ho?"

"that little redhead on his side, she's only with him cause hes one of the stars of the basketball team, she hates me cause I got head cheerleader over her, as she says" Brooke put on the best Rachel mocking voice "head cheerleader should go to someone who's actually dating a guy on the team"

"ah.. so i take it your single? I mean with you lusting over that Lucas kid.."

"yes" Brooke scoffed "I'm single.. i guess i should introduce you to them, since your new and all" Before Haley could protest, Brooke dragged her in front of the Scott brothers and their girls.

"hi Brooke, girl I don't know" Lucas nodded to them.

"hi guys, I wanted to introduce you to my new roommate tutorgirl, she's new to the school"

"Tutorgirl?" Rachel laughed "you got some weird parents.."

"My name's actually Haley.." she snapped back "Tutorgirl is Brooke's nickname for me, cause I tutor..."

"cool, cool.. well I'm Lucas, this is my girlfriend Peyton, thats my brother Nathan, and that's Rachel" Lucas pointed out.

"Hi.." Rachel said not caring "so I take it since you tutor you aren't a cheerleader?"

"No" Haley shook her head "I cheered freshman year, but i stopped"

"What!?" Brooke looked at her shocked "tutorgirl how could you not tell me you use to cheer! You gotta join the team"

"what? no.." Haley put up her hands in defense. "I'm not joining any team"

"please.." Brooke pleaded.

"she doesn't wanna join the team, she's probably not that good anyway" Rachel pointed out rudely, Haley looked her over, she looked like one of the girls she use to go to school with in Charlotte, and she was a huge slut. Rachel was dressed in a mini skirt and this tight halter top that were making her breast almost pop out of the shirt.

"Rachel, that's kinda rude.. maybe she's good" Nathan spoke for the first time since Haley and Brooke had walked over to the group, Haley bit he lip as their eyes met.

"Nathan" Rachel glared at her boyfriend, making him instantly shut up.

"Well.. i think I'm gonna go introduce Haley to more people, bye guys.." Brooke said and started to pull Haley away.

"Bye Brooke!, bye Haley" Lucas smiled sweetly at them.

"bye new girl" Nathan smiled but once again was shot a glare from Rachel.

"What was that about?"

"what was what about?" Nathan looked at his girlfriend confused.

"Being nice to the new girl!"

"oh, well why should I be rude?"

"because! And and.. I mean Brooke Davis is her roommate, and you're suppose to hate her.. i mean come on she stole my spot as head cheerleader! And we all know head cheerleader should go to someone who's actually dating someone on the basketball team" Rachel huffed and puffed as she explained this.

"isn't she dating Jake?" Lucas chimed in.

"no, they are just best friends" Peyton spoke up, Lucas shot her a look like 'why do you know that' Peyton cleared her throat "So I've heard..."

"Well whatever, i still don't want you talking to the new girl, that's like the enemy.."

"Whatever you say Rach" Nathan rolled his eyes and looked the other way.

"Do not roll your eyes at me Nathan Scott!"

He turned and glared at his girlfriend "could we not do this in public Rachel?"

"maybe you should stick up for your girlfriend!"

"stick up for you? There was no reason to! Brooke was just introducing us to the new girl!" Nathan stood up and just stared at Rachel "I swear sometimes you make things up in that head of yours"

"are you calling me crazy?!?" Rachel stood up and got into his face.

"interrupt however you want" Nathan put a sly smile on his face, sometimes he could be a real ass, but it always seemed like it came out when Rachel got on his nerves.

"how dare you!" Rachel yelled.

Peyton stood up and grabbed Rachel by the arm "Rach lets just go to our room.."

"whatever.." she shook Peyton's hand off and started to walk.

"i'll see you guys later." She kissed Lucas softly then went after Rachel.

"dude I seriously don't get why you date Rachel if you guys fight all the time.." Lucas just laughed.

"shut up, you and Peyton fight all the time"

"yeah over things worth fighting, Rachel's just a idiot"

"Don't call my girlfriend a idiot Lucas!" Nathan started getting angry.

"whatever dude, maybe you're the crazy one" Lucas got up and walked away leaving Nathan standing there alone.

Brooke and Haley continued to walk the campus, and of course Brooke was still trying to convince Haley to join the cheerleading squad. "I can't believe you didn't tell me you cheered!"

"I only did for a year which was 2 years ago.. and I wasn't that good" Haley sighed.

Brooke stopped walking and crossed her arms staring at Haley "I do not believe that!"

"believe what?" a brown haired boy walked over and slung his arm over Brooke's shoulders, this confused Haley, didn't Brooke say she was single? He did look like someone from a picture she saw of Brooke's earlier in their room.

"Jakey!" Brooke hugged the boy then pulled away pointing to Haley "This is my new roommate tutorgirl"

"tutorgirl?" Jake smirked "Brooke's got the nickname thing going for you? I'm Jake" he held his hand out.

Haley shook it "yeah, I'm Haley.."

"Jakey tell Haley to join the cheerleading squad"

"Haley.." Jake smirked and looked at Brooke then at Haley "don't join the team.."

"Jake!!" Brooke whined.

"hey, i don't think she wants to be tortured by Rachel Gatina all year long.." Jake smiled sweetly.

"You are the worst best friend ever!" Brooke pouted and crossed her arms.

"Hey, hey! If i was the worst best friend ever I could run and tell a certain Lucas Scott your feelings for him" Jake joked.

"You wouldn't dare!"

"I don't know.. would i?" Jake started to laugh and pulled Brooke into a hug "you know I would never do that to you" he looked at Haley "So what do you think of the school so far?"

"it's alright I guess.." Haley just shrugged, she wasn't exactly sure how she felt about the school yet. Her first impression of Brooke was major bitch since she totally blew off her handshake, but maybe Brooke wasn't all that bad after all. Jake seemed nice so far even though she met him all of 2 minutes ago. Brooke's love interest seemed nice and his brother, well his brother was gorgeous, but his girlfriend Rachel, she was a real bitch. "we'll see what happens"
