Summary: Nathan and Haley are forced into marriage by their wealthy parents. 2.11.05
A/N: I've had this idea for a while, but finally decided to start it. I know it shouldn't take place in 2005 if they are out of high school, but I didn't feel like figuring out years, which would be more confusing. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Prologue
Haley James was not a typical rich girl. Her parents are two of the wealthiest people in Tree Hill, North Carolina, but she didn't think that much of it. They lived in a huge house with maids, cooks, and chauffeurs. Haley still had gone to public school and was planning on attending Duke in the fall. Senior year had just ended. She never really had any relationships during high school; she was always too busy studying. She works at her best friend's mother's café. She has worked there since she was a freshman.
Her best friend is Lucas Scott, son of Karen Roe and the town's favorite bastard, Dan Scott. Dan left Karen when he found out she was pregnant. A few months later, he got Deb pregnant too, but married her. Their son, Nathan, has always been an enemy to Lucas and so in turn he was also an enemy to Haley. Lucas and Nathan rivaled each other in basketball, the town's pride sport. They were both going to Duke on basketball scholarships.
Nathan Scott was a typical rich boy; he loved spending his parents' money. His parents were the other two wealthiest people in Tree Hill, North Carolina. They lived in the huge house next to the James' house; they too had maids, cooks, and chauffeurs. Nathan was always driving the newest models of sports cars from his dad's dealership. He never had serious relationships with girls; usually they were just hook-ups. He was a jock and a jerk, with one of the biggest egos you could find.
One day in June, 2005…
Haley walked into her house, coming home from work.
"I'm home," she yelled to her parents, even though they probably weren't there.
"We're in the living room Haley," she heard her father, Jim James, yell. She walked into the living room and saw both of her parents sitting on the couch.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Your father and I need to talk to you," her mother, Lydia James, said.
"Okay, what is it?"
"We need to tell you something and you're probably not going to like it," Jim said.
"You're getting married," Lydia finished for him.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the prologue and continue to read. If you have read 'Polaris' you probably know that I tend to leave at cliffhangers. Please reply and I will update soon, I will be updating 'Polaris' tomorrow, and this too if I get the replies. I will take either good or bad replies; just let me know what you think.
