Hey There People! I've been meaning to write a One Tree Hill story for a very long time now. This Idea suddenly came into my head, so I just had to write. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or any of the Characters. Nor do I own any of the songs I may use in the future.

Summary: Brooke Davis had it all, friends, money, popularity, but then her father told her that she was moving. Now Brooke must start over, and this time she wants to be a better person. Things might not go as well as planned when she meets a cocky basketball player by the name of Lucas Scott, a guy that she just can't seem to shake off.

Mostly AU. Lucas and Nathan are half brothers, but they have always gotten along since they were kids. Haley and Nathan are not dating. Luke and Haley are not best friends. Lucas and Peyton used to date. After their break up, they remained really close friends.

Chapter 1: One Person To Make it Through the Day

Brooke stepped through the doors nervously. She looked around at a place she had never seen before, yet had known for years. The story was the same, it always would be: High school. From the sports teams, to the chess club, and everyone in between; they all had a story. Brooke could guess most of them. The jocks were dating the cheerleaders, the stoners were most likely in their corners braiding each other's hair, the skateboarders were talking about the latest emo band which no other student had ever heard of, the nerds were in the tutoring centre, and here was Brooke, in the midst of all the chaos, having no idea where to go.

Brooke had been fortunate enough to be the captain of the cheerleading squad at her last school, so the ramifications of being least popular were left to those who were. It wasn't as though she had been downright cruel to them, because she had acknowledged them on a few occasions, but it was that her friends were, and sometimes doing nothing about it felt worse. At that moment, Brooke felt a lot closer to those unpopular students.

Brooke let out a sigh of frustration. She had only walked through the front doors and she was already lost.

She noticed a girl standing next to her with long dirty blonde hair, leaning against a tall guy who was wearing a sports jacket, flirting with him no doubt. The typical jock and cheerleader.

Brooke tapped the girl on the shoulder, "Umm.. Excuse me, I'm new here, and I was wonder-"

The girl turned her head and sized Brooke up, gave her a cold look, and turned back to her 'boyfriend' before walking away, leaving Brooke in mid-sentence.

Brooke grinned scornfully to herself and muttered sarcastically, "Well that's just great! I'm going to absolutely love it here."

Maybe today just wasn't her day. She glanced at her watch and guessed that she could get out of here, go for a drive somewhere, and no one would notice. Well why would they? Nobody here even knew she existed. This sounded like a plan to Brooke.

As she quickly turned around in an attempt to walk out the doors, she collided with pile of books that a small girl with dark auburn hair was carrying. Every book both girl had had now crashed onto the floor.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I was so not looking where I was going! Let me get those." The girl said very quickly as she bent down to pick up the fallen books. Brooke smiled gently as she too bent down to help pick up the books.

"No, its my fault. I had no idea where I was going. I'm new here, Brooke Davis." Brooke smiled and held out a hand, which the girl shook graciously.

"Haley James." she smiled back, "Where'd you move from?"

"L.A. actually, but I was born here. We moved to the west coast when I was two. But my dad got a job offer back here, so here I am!"

"Wow. But I'm sure you'll love it here. You'll fit in just fine"

Brooke laughed and whispered to herself, "not according to some people around here"

"What?"

"Oh nothing, never mind," Brooke covered quickly.

Haley didn't seem to notice the change in attitude of Brooke, instead, she picked up one of Brooke's notebooks and studied some writing that was on one cover.

"These lyrics, they're really familiar," she said as she began humming to herself.

"Yeah, it's my favorite song," Brooke smiled, "How to Save a Life." she and Haley finished in unison. Both girls laughed.

"I love that song! The Fray is awesome, they're my favorite. Did you know they are playing in Charlotte in a couple weeks? I didn't want to go alone, but you can go with me if you'd like!" Haley said excitedly, all in one breath.

"Sure, that sounds awesome Haley!" Brooke giggled, "Umm, if it's no trouble, would you be able to show me where Principal.." Brooke looked at a tiny slip of paper in her palm, "Turner's office is? I really have no idea where it is."

"Oh that's no problem whatsoever! But if you don't mind, I have to stop by the tutoring center for a second. I need a sheet so that I can fill in my hours."

"Tutoring center? I would never put you down as the type of person who would need tutoring. Not with all those books." referring to the massive stack of books in Haley's arms.

Haley suppressed a giggle, "No, actually I do the tutoring. I look at it as giving back you know? But come on, I'll show you around."

Brooke mentally kicked herself in the head for what she had just been thinking about the tutoring center. Because standing in front of her was a really awesome girl who was willing to be Brooke's friend, probably when Brooke needed it the most. "Thank you so much Haley! You have no idea what I would do without you right now."

Haley let out a slight laugh, "You would probably be running straight out that door again!"

Brooke laughed too, but for an entirely different reason. She had met Haley less than ten minutes ago, and yet it felt as though Haley knew her better than she knew herself.

Haley had been the one person Brooke needed to make it through that day.
