Aloha fellow readers. Thank you for reading and please continue to do so.

I think this may be the last chapter. . . . before I take a step into the future.

HaHa Y'all thought I was going to say forever, and dear lord no I think I still have a bit more to do with this story.

Sorry I always end up rambling on and on you must get sick of it and yes I'm doing it again.

WooOoOoo we're on double digits!

Note to self: Learn to stop rambling!

It was Sunday night and I have been in New York for one full day. So far I wouldn't say there is a big difference between Tree Hill and here apart from there is many more people and everything is so much bigger. Well what I'm trying to say is I'm not happier here yet, I don't know why but I expected to be happier the moment I got here but I suppose things don't work like that do they?

I didn't get much sleep that night because I worried a bit too much about school the next day, it was going to be my first day with no friends and people wouldn't know me so I would need to make a good first impression because I want to be liked here, I don't want to be the "loser" not again. Oh and yes I do still hold a grudge against Lucas Scott, just who did he think he was? I doubt the dumb ass even found my letter to him and if so he probably through it in the trash. He should've thrown himself in the bin.

My mom drove me to school the next day, I wore a white tank top with a denim skirt, not a mini skirt but just above my knee. I also wore a flat white pair of shoes with a little bow on the front. As my mom said goodbye, I looked on at my world for the next few years. I walked in and there were so many people, about ten times the amount of people at Tree Hill High. As I glanced around for my first class I noticed another girl so I tapped her shoulder:

"Hi, do you know where this class room is?" I asked as I pointed to my timetable.

"Yeah, actually I'm in for that class just now so I'll walk you, you're new here I guess?"

"Yes, my dad got a work promotion so we moved to NY"

"Oh cool, where did you live?"

"I used to live in Tree Hill, it's really small you'll probably never have heard of it," I laugh slightly nervous.

"No I haven't but oh well, well my name's Michelle Cooper, what's yours?"

"Oh sorry, my name is Haley James and nice to meet you Michelle"

"Yeah same, well since you're new here Haley, you'll need a bunch of cool people to hang with so you're more than welcome to join me and my friends if you like?"

"Thanks and sure, it's not like I'm in any position to say no" we both laugh.

"Well Haley James I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Michelle says.

After school, Michelle drove me home, I had a great day and her friends are really nice but guess what their like all really popular. I know I said I would never want to be one of those popular girls but I wasn't in any position to say no to friends and anyways she seemed really nice and she is. I think we will really be great friends.

Michelle's in most of my classes so that's a good thing and she says that she tutors and is on the cheerleading team, she's actually the captain. So I was thinking maybe I could do it to, be a tutor and perhaps maybe be a cheerleader. I seem to be changing a lot but I just want to try fit in and it seems fun at this school. If I want friends I need to change something, it won't be a major change, I'll just be a cheerleader. None of her friends are nasty to anyone anyway so it's not like Tree Hill, it's so much different.

Anyway, I have a right to enjoy my teenage years, everyone else seems to be even Lucas, so I am entitled to a little fun. I have always held back on that aspect but now hopefully life will be better and more fun. It'll be better without Lucas Scott. Who needs him anyway, because I certainly don't!

Over the next couple of weeks Michelle and I got really close, so now we're best friend and I hope we do stick, I really do. Oh yeah almost forget, I'm now on the cheerleading squad and I'm enjoying it. I'm also dating a boy – Ryan Mitchell. He's really nice and I hope we also stick, I know it's only been a few weeks but life is really looking up and as of right now, I have the perfect life.

There you go. Did you enjoy it? Now next chapter will be in the future I think so anyway, might squeeze one more about Lucas in but not sure just now. It'll need to be a surprise I guess.

So Haley has changed her life around, once a geek now a cheerleader.

What is going to happen in the future?

What will Haley's new school have brought to her over the years?

Is life really all that good in NY?
