Anyway I hope you enjoy! These are basically what I come up with when I'm supposed to be sleeping/working :P

DISCLAIMER - same as before. bla bla bla :P


11. A New Beginning

Starting a new school is always tough, especially when starting a new school for your senior year. However for Haley James, it was even worse. It wasn't going to be easy trying to fit in where everyone already knows your name and thinks they know everything about you.

But this was what she had chosen. To go to the small town school her parents had gone to, and to get way from the pressures of fame and celebrity, which had been far too much than her 17 year old self could handle.

So following the girl, Brooke, who was kindly showing her around, treating her as if she was any other new pupil at Tree Hill High, she made her way to the lunch hall, to meet the girl's friends, ignoring the stares from people in the hallways.

After making it through lunchtime, enjoying the banter of the group of friends she had joined, staying shyly in the shadows, she couldn't help how her eyes were drawn to the blue eyed, dark haired boy sitting across from her, with a serious expression. She wasn't sure why, but that very first lunchtime she was sure she was going to like Tree Hill.


12. Met This Girl

Quickly making his way along to his dorm; he opened the door, surprised to find a strange girl lounging on his bed, reading a magazine. Okay, so he wasn't that surprised. In high school, he had many girls throw themselves at him, due to his position of being varsity basketball captain, of then high school in a basketball crazed town. However, he wasn't expected things like that to happen so quickly in college, he had only been at Duke for week! Plus there was something about this girl that made him think that she wasn't the kind of girl he knew in high school.

"You're not Lucas..." she spoke, quickly hopping of the bed and straightening out her clothes, a blush covering her face."You must be Nathan!"

He shook the hand the strange girl stuck out for him, not helping the slight smirk at how flushed and jumpy she had become since she noticed him in the room.

"I'm Lucas' best friend... I just moved in across the quad." she continued, her grin making him grin. Looked like college life was going to be even more fun than he had initially thought.


13. You'll Ask For Me

She knew going to this club had been a bad idea, but no, Brooke had insisted in taking both her and Peyton out to experience what New York had to offer. Well so far she wasn't impressed. After sitting at the bar, trying to talk to each other over the loud -and quite frankly awful- music, Brooke had gotten bored with all the catching up and had gone to find all three of them dance partners.

Brooke and Peyton appeared to be having a good time with theirs, but unfortunately she wasn't as lucky. The guy had his hands a little too close to her butt, and he kept obviously looking down her top and smirking at her. Gross.

When his hands fell a little lower, she squirmed to get out of his grip, but struggled when the guy just held onto her tighter and leered at her. She was literally about two seconds from screaming and hitting the guy, when someone beat her to it, shoving him away.

"Back off man, can't you see she was uncomfortable." her 'hero' growled at the guy, who merely shrugged and left to probably find some defenceless victim. She was surprised when the other man turned to her, and leaned in to speak in her ear.

"Care to dance? I promise I won't get grabby like that asshole." Looking into her eyes, she practically melted, and nodded. Maybe New York's nightlife wasn't as bad as she had anticipated.


14. Anything But Ordinary

Nathan's adrenalin levels were flying as he ran across the court, passing and dodging the other team as he ran to the other side of the court. There was only a few seconds left on the clock, and for a world championship game, they were cutting it very close. If Nathan managed to make that one basket, those two points would mean they had done it. They had won the State Championships! But he was getting ahead of himself, he still had that all important basket to make.

Quickly getting himself free, he caught the ball with expert ease. Three seconds left. His eyes found the girl who had been in his thoughts all day and just looking at her blocked all the shouts and screams that filled the gym. Without even glancing at the basket, he let the ball leave his hands, and up towards its target, keeping his eyes locked with hers. He heard the buzzer go, and heard the cheers and shouts, but his eyes never left hers.

He could feel people hugging him, and patting him on the shoulder, but it was when she ran towards him, and jumped in his arms, that he finally came out of his trance.

"YOU DID IT!" she shouted in his ear, and he lifted her higher, before lowering her so that her head was level with his, leaning in, he did that one thing he had been wanting to do for months. He kissed her.


15. Something Of Value

She loved the library at Duke. The dusty but homey smell of the thousands of books. The peace and quiet. The number of different people who visited just to get a book. She was sat at her usual table, with the comfy squishy chairs, and the window right next to it so she could gaze out if the time came.

She was surprised when someone sat across from her, and she studied him as he pulled out the books and work he had obviously brought to do.

She couldn't help sneaking glances at him those hours sitting close to each other. She honestly couldn't help herself. And she was pretty sure he had been sneaking glances at her to.


16. Come In With The Rain

Trust Clay to get them completely lost, without a car or a phone. Honestly. He loved his friend, but sometimes Clay could be such an idiot.

They had been walking along the endless road, in the hot Carolina sun, for four hours without any cars passing them. Nathan was wiped. Just as he was about to complain and moan to Clay about the intense heat, out of nowhere it started to rain. Great. He was going to kill Clay if they ever got back to Tree Hill.

Just when he thought all hope was lost, he saw a red convertible making its way towards them, slowing down once it saw them.

"Okay I know picking up strange men in the middle of nowhere is a really stupid thing to do, especially since I'm on my own. But it's raining and the next town is about a three hour walk away," Nathan threw a pointed look to Clay as the woman driving rambled through the open window, once she stopped next to them. "Sorry I'm rambling again... Where ya going?"

It turned out that she was heading to Tree Hill too, so both Clay and Nathan hopped in to the woman, whom they learned was called Haley, and set off on their way home. Clay had fallen asleep in the backseat, so he had used the peace to chat with Haley, finding himself thanking Clay for getting them lost in the middle of nowhere.


17. Don't Save Me

She remembered back when they were really close. The three musketeer's people had called them. Just Nathan, Lucas and Haley against the world. It was funny how things changed.

It wasn't that they had fallen out or anything. High school and popularity had just torn them apart, made them grow apart. They had both fitted in with the cheerleaders, and the basketball team, and those who had been deemed 'the cool kids'. She couldn't really blame them for fitting in, or for losing touch. It had been her fault too. Life happens. She was now starting her senior year and had accepted that and had thought she had moved on.

Then why had she felt all that anger and jealousy bubble inside of her, when she had heard Rachel Gatina tell all her little followers about her 'amazing' summer with Nathan. Was it because Rachel got to spend time a whole summer with whom Haley had once considered her best friend, whereas she herself could count the conversations they'd had over the summer with on hand? Or was it something more? Some yearning inside of her that she had been battling to keep quiet and hidden for years now.


18. Holiday From Real

He couldn't believe he was spending the entire summer in 'Hicksville', also known as, Tree Hill, North Carolina. Just because he was heading to Duke in the fall, his mother had thought it would be a good idea for him to "spend sometime with family in North Caroline" and "get away from city life for a while".

Family. He had barely ever spent time with his family in Tree Hill. His father hadn't exactly been on speaking terms with his brother for some time, and Nathan barely knew his Uncle Keith, Aunt Karen and his cousin Lucas. Well, he remembered a time when he was much younger when he would visit them, and play with Lucas, who was only three months older, but a lot had changed since then, and he was definitely not thrilled with his summer plans.

Lucas was working a shift at Keith's auto shop that morning, so Nathan was sitting bored in his Aunt's cafe, waiting for him to finish.

The cafe was practically empty, so he wasn't surprised when the short familiar looking waitress sat down next to him at the counter.

"Hi, I'm not sure if you remember me? I'm Haley James? We used to play together when you would come to visit Luke." she spoke to him, and suddenly everything clicked into place. This was the girl who had pushed him into the mud when he had pulled her pigtails, back when they were six!

He couldn't help how his eyes trailed over her form. She had definitely filled out and grown up since the last time he saw her.


19. Bring Me To Life

Making her way to her mother's grave; she didn't hold back the tears falling down her face. Lydia James had been dead a year now, and it still hadn't sunk in for Haley. She was only 22 years old. How was she supposed to cope without her mother around to help her? She honestly didn't understand how Peyton had managed.

This was the first time she had visited her grave. Before it had seemed too real and too sudden to even think about, but Haley knew she needed to do it. She sat down in front of the grave, her fingers tracing the words engraved there as she spoke to her mom as if she were there, tears falling like a waterfall.

She didn't notice the dark figure approach her from behind, jumping when he asked if she was okay. He was surprisingly helpful. He explained he had been visiting his friend, and had saw her upset, and asked her to tell him about her mom.

They sat there for hours, her telling him everything that Lydia James was. It had helped a lot, and she felt that weight on her heart lift. Once it got dark, they both went their separate ways, and it was only after she watched his figure disappear in the distance that she realised she didn't even know his name, or where he came from.


20. Kiss On Me

"Okay sweetie I know you're gonna hate me for asking, and for pestering you, but do you have any special ladies in your life? Any girls we should know about?" his mom went on for the billionth time. "Because you know, the Richardson's granddaughter is staying with them over Christmas, do you remember her? I think you two would get on really well! Good family too..."

Nathan just blocked her out. She was always trying to set him up with people from her country club, insisting he needed to find someone of good stock before they all 'ran out'. He was only 21! He didn't want to find his 'soul mate', preferably someone high up the social ladder, and settle down. But his mother would never listen. She probably already had dates lined up for him while he visited for Christmas. Great.

"Actually Mom... I'm seeing someone. So you can cancel all those dates you have planned," he interrupted her as she talked about the Anderson's youngest daughter. He didn't know why he said it when he knew it wasn't true, but it just came out. As did the next piece of word vomit. "Actually mom I was wondering if she could stay with us over Christmas?"

His mom had readily accepted, excited at the prospect of meeting her son's 'mystery girl'. So a couple hours later, Nathan had a dilemma. He had to find a 'mystery girl' first. As he searched through his phone, shaking his head at all the bimbo's he had saved on there, the kinds of girls you couldn't take as a fake girlfriend home for Christmas, one name shot out at him. Of course! And the great thing was, he knew she had no plans for over the holidays.

"Hey Hales... Remember that favour you owe me?"
