Here's the next chapter.
Once I walked into AP US History, I realized how alone I felt. When I was with Millicent, I felt like I knew someone at this school. I walked up to the teacher and introduced myself as the new student and she told me to take any seat in the class. I knew I wanted to be near the front, but I did not want to draw too much attention to myself by sitting in the front. I decided to sit in the second seat in the row against the wall.
Once I sat down and pulled out my things, the other students began to flood into the classroom. I pulled my phone out to check and see if Quinn had texted me, which she hadn't, when someone knocked all of my stuff off of my desk. As I shove my phone back in my pocket I look up to see Rachel standing over me with a sneer on her face. I began to stand up and get my things when Jimmy came over and picked up my books for me. "Here Haley." "Thanks, it's Jimmy right?", he nodded yes.
"Aww that's just too cute the biggest loser in school picked up the new girls books. Y'all are just too cute together", Rachel said with a smirk. Then a dark haired girl came up to Rachel and said, "Lay off her Rachel!" With that said, Rachel huffed and walked off towards the back of class.
After I watched her walk off I turned back to the girl and said, "Hey, I'm Haley. I just moved here." "Hey Haley, I'm Brooke, Brooke Davis." "Nice to meet you Brooke. Thanks for sticking up for me by the way, it seems like Rachel has it out for me." "Don't worry about it too much, Rachel is always a bitch." With that Brooke turned around and walked towards a group of people that were staring me.
I don't know what it is about this school, but I feel like people stare A LOT around here! After my incident with Rachel, Jimmy, and Brooke, the rest of the class went by smoothly and it was finally time for lunch. As I left class, I walked to the courtyard outside to look for Millicent. It only took me a few minutes to spot her, this school is soo small I couldn't help but think to myself.
I walked over to where she stood and she introduced me to her boyfriend Mouth and their friends Fergie, Junk, Skills, and Luke. They all seemed really nice and friendly, but I still felt so alone in this school. I found out that Mouth has a sports announcing show called Ravens Hoops, Millicent works at a clothing store at the mall, Luke is on the varsity basketball team, and Fergie, Junk, and Skills all played basketball at a place called the rivercourt.
Just as I started to really feel comfortable with this group the bell rang, signaling for third period to start, great. Luke asked, "Haley what classes do you have for the rest of the day?" I pulled out my schedule to check and replied, "Ummm I have AP English next and gym last.", ugh I hated gym! "That's great I have English next and gym last also. I can introduce you to my girlfriend in English and my brother in gym." "Thanks Luke, that would be great."
We got up from the table and walked towards class and we ran into Jimmy in the hallway. Jimmy looked at Luke then back to me and asked, "Hey Haley, do you need help finding your next class?" "No thanks Jimmy, Luke is taking me." Luke and I walked away, leaving Jimmy behind. Luke asked me how I knew Jimmy and I told him he had helped my find my class.
When we walked into class I introduced myself to the teacher and took a seat behind Luke. Luke had turned around and was talking to me when I heard a voice behind me. "Luke, baby, why are you talking to the new girl? What happened to your loser, new girl?" As I turned around to say something back to her I heard another girl say, "You better back the hell up bitch and leave my boyfriend and the new girl alone." I turned around and there was a fuming blonde girl standing just behind Lucas. Rachel then turned away with another huff.
"Thanks so much. My name's Haley, by the way." "Hey I'm Peyton, Lucas' girlfriend." "Nice to meet you, he told me you were going to be in this class." She then gave Lucas a swift kiss on the cheek and sat in the seat next to him. It was weird how people kept sticking up for me at this school.
The class went off without a hitch and now it was time for the much dreaded gym. Lucas turned around and asked me if I was ready to go to and I told him I was. We walked with Peyton and she went into the art room. As we walked down the hallway I noticed a lot of people giving me odd looks. I felt like I was a fish in a bowl. As we went into the gym Lucas introduced me to Coach Durham and showed me where the girls locker room was. The coach told me I needed to go in change and come back out for class.
Once I went into the locker room I already wished I could just turn around and leave. Rachel was standing by the lockers with that same sneer on her face that she had all day. "Well, well, well if it isn't the new girl." "Hello Rachel", I replied to her. "In here you don't have anyone to stick up for you. No little losers." "Well with the way you responded to Brooke and Peyton after they stuck up for me, I feel like you're the loser', I sneered back at her. Once this left my mouth I automatically regretted it because I knew she would retaliate.
Before my train of thought had even ended I felt myself get slammed into the lockers behind me. As soon as I realized what had happened I started to fight like hell. I felt her get a few hits in when I felt myself being pulled away from her. I turned around to see Luke holding me while another boy was holding Rachel. As I started to relax a little I saw Brooke walk up to Rachel and get in her face. She started screaming at her, "WHAT THE HELL RACHEL! PEYTON TOLD ME YOU WERE BEING A BITCH EARLIER AND I TOLD HER "IT'S OKAY IT'S JUST RACHEL BEING RACHEL". WELL I WAS WRONG YOU REALLY ARE A BITCH! YOU'RE OFF THE SQUAD! NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
I was honestly scared now. When Rachel tried to move, the boy behind here was still gripping her arms. I looked up at the boy and he was staring right at me. Brooke looked up at the boy and then at me and calmly told him, "Let her go Nathan". With that the boy, Nathan I guess, let her go.
I watched Rachel leave and then turned around and thanked Lucas for stopping the fight and then looked at Nathan and thanked him for holding Rachel back. I finally looked at Brooke and walked over and gave her a hug. I let her go and said, "Thank you Brooke, you have been a life saver today. You and Peyton both." "Haley it's no problem. Rachel is a bitch and I should have kicked her off the squad a long time ago." "Well none the less, thank you", I could not thank her enough for what her and her friends were doing for me.
I told the group I was fine and that they should go by out to class. For some reason Nathan seemed very wary about leaving me in here alone, I thought this was strange because he had never actually spoken to me, but they all filed out anayway. I soon as they were out I crumpled to the floor and cried.
When I finally got myself under control I fixed myself up. By the time I was calmed down and walked into the gym most of the class was almost over. I walked over to the coach and he told me to just have a seat on the bleachers and watch for the day. I was sooo thankful for this free pass out of gym. I watched Lucas and Nathan playing a game of basketball and by the way they were acting I figured this must have been Lucas' brother.
Finally the bell rang! I walked back into the locker room and collected my stuff. As I walked back into the school I saw Principal Turner again. "Hello Miss James, how was your first day here at Tree Hill?" "It was great. I think I may have actually made a few friends." "Well that's great, do you have any questions for me?" "Actually I saw you have a tutoring center and I used to tutor at my old school. Do you need any tutors?" "We actually do need some. Why don't you follow me to my office and we can go over what your duties will be." "Thanks so much Mr. Turner."
After the principal went over all the things I need to do as a tutor, gave me the keys to the file cabinet, and gave me a list of students, I set off to walk home. I was a little worried about walking home because I really didn't want to get lost, but I figured I would get there eventually.
As soon as I walked out I spotted Brooke walking towards a light blue bug, with a very handsome boy. I started to walk away from the school when I heard someone yell Haley. I turned around and saw Brooke driving towards me. "Hey do you need a ride?" "That would be great. Thanks Brooke." I walked over to the other side of the car and the boy got out of the car and let me in the back. I mumbled a thanks as I got in.
Once I was in Brooke turned around and said, "Haley, this is Julian. Julian, Haley." "It's nice to meet you Julian." Brooke asked me, "So, Haley, why are you here so late after school?" I replied, "I ran into the principal and I told him that I saw the school had a tutoring center, so he asked me to be a tutor." "Well that's cool I guess. haha I guess now I can call you tutor girl." "Thanks Brooke." "So where do you live?" "Umm I don't know exactly, but I think I can show you how to get there."
After we got lost twice, we finally pulled up to the house. "This is it. Thanks for driving me home Brooke and thanks for everything else." "No problem Tutor Girl. See you tomorrow."
After I got out of the car and walked into the house and up to my room I laid across my bed. I just couldn't believe how this day turned out. Not only did I make some friends but I also made my first enemy.
So what does everyone think so far? Do you like it? Well I hope so!
