Author: cookiedough
Spoilers: None, AU
Rating: T
Distribution: Just ask, I'll probably say yes
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and have absolutely nothing to do with One Tree Hill, I'm just borrowing them for this story.
Summary: Okay I suck at summaries: One is popular the other isn't, so they have nothing in common right?
AN: I took this idea from part of a script I wrote for a uni project, so if by some chance one of my lectures is HUGE laley fan and is reading this, I did not steal the idea, please don't mark me down! Anyhoo I hope you guys like it, let me know what you think, read, review and enjoy!
AN2: Apologies for the lack of space between each time period, this thing won't let me make the gaps big enough to seperate them, I've started each time period with the first letter of the new paragraph in bold, hopefully this will help.
Chapter One
Haley James sat at one of the circular concrete tables outside of Tree Hill High. It was still early, and only a few students and teachers milled about the campus preparing for classes. She loved this time of day, she was pretty much guaranteed at least half an hour of uninterrupted solitude before the student population rushed to their first class of the day. Haley used this time to reflect on things, school, life and anything else that crossed her mind. She turned to a fresh page in her black leather like journal and continued writing.
Yet another glorious day at Tree Hill High. A day full of over achievers and wanna be's followed by a healthy slice of Tree Hill's very own royalty. You know whom I'm talking about, the people far too popular to actually attempt any school work. However, are still able to find the time to ignore as well as tease, at the same time, helpless students, just trying to avoid being stepped upon.
Before she knew it, the bell signalled the start of school. Quickly collecting her books, she grabbed her bag and rushed to class.
Lucas Scott pulled his black jeep into the parking lot of Tree Hill High. As he and his brother Nathan, were the best players on the basketball team, not to mention the most popular guys in school, rushing to school early to find a parking space was never something they had to worry about. Killing the engine, Lucas, Nathan, Peyton and Brooke climbed out of the jeep. Swinging his bag over his shoulder, Lucas headed for his locker. He greeted other members of the team as he went, with high fives and the occasional "What's up?" Opening his locker he pulled out his English book and threw it in his bag.
The bell rang.
"So are we on for lunch?" Nathan asked closing his locker.
"Sure, I have somewhere to go first, but I'll see you guys after." Nathan nodded, placing his arm around Peyton they headed for class.
"What's the big secret? Do you have some extra circular activities I should know about? Questioned Brooke seductively.
"Nothing you need to worry yourself with." Replied Lucas shutting his locker, leaving Brooke to stand alone.
Haley James was never late for class, she showed up half an hour before school started for crying out loud. But today, however, she was dangerously close to breaking that record. She bolted around the corner to her English class and collided with a strong chest causing her books to fall to the floor. She bent down to pick them up.
"I am so sorry. I didn't mean it, it's just I'm never late, I…" she stopped her apology when she looked up to see Lucas Scott staring down at her.
She panicked, she was running late as it was, she didn't have time to stand there and receive an ear full from the most popular guy in school. But before she could say anything, the door opened.
"Mr Scott, Miss James, nice of you to join us." Mr Knightley the middle aged English teacher said, holding the door open.
"Well I had some free time sir, so I thought why not, don't wanna let the audience down now do we?" Lucas replied taking a seat as the class giggled. Haley grabbed her last book, and rushed inside.
"I'll see you after class Miss James." Mr Knightley replied, walking to the head of the class.
Haley sank into her seat, could today get any worse?
