A/N: Hi. I know it's been a bazillion years since I've updated but I wanted to start back up again. I read the first chapter and I got some ideas for where I want to take this story. Hopefully everyone will like it and I'll update more frequently. :P

Brooke stood in front of the brick building. She had been to a lot of different schools, but Tree Hill High was a little different. Put here in a private school full of snobby, rich kids and she would be fine. But in a public school full of red necks? Brooke wasn't so sure.

"Nervous?" A voice came from behind her. Brooke turned to find the smirking face of Nathan Scott. At least she knew one friendly face.

"Please, Brooke Davis doesn't get nervous," Brooke teased. Nathan opened his mouth to reply but was stopped by a blonde girl flinging herself into Nathan's arms. Nathan laughed and hugged the girl in return.

"Hey Hales," Nathan said. Haley returned the greeting and turned to look at Nathan's friend. "Hales, this is Brooke. She just moved here and her dad is working with my dad. Brooke, this is Haley, my friend since forever."

Haley gave Brooke the once over. She was pretty and dressed in a jean skirt and a blue flowing top. She looked like she walked out of a magazine, whereas Haley was dressed in simple jeans and a tank top. Brooke greeted Haley with a warm smile and Haley returned the favor.

Nathan excused himself with something about having to see a basketball coach and Haley walked Brooke to her first class. "So you and Nathan seem pretty close," Brooke commented.

Haley smiled. "Yeah, Nate is like my brother."

"Are you close with Lucas too?" Brooke inquired.

Haley wrinkled her nose in response. "No. You know, I never understood how two brothers could be so different. Nathan is sweet and kind and down to earth and Lucas is rude, arrogant, and a snob," Haley shook her head in disgust. "Plus he won't be caught dead with a junior. He doesn't associate with anyone below him."

"Yeah, that's pretty much what I gathered from the brief time I met him. He and Nathan were supposed to take my around town last week but Lucas ditched us to hang out with his girlfriend," Brooke agreed.

"Oh, don't even get me started on Peyton Sawyer. I generally like most people but if there was ever one person I couldn't stand it was her," Haley stated venomously. Brooke raised an eyebrow in question but didn't say anything. She followed Haley into class and smiled. Tree Hill wouldn't be so bad.

Brooke had managed to get through the day surviving all her classes. She had a few with Haley and Nathan. Brooke was walking to her meeting with the guidance counselor at the end of the day. Trying to find her way to the counselor's office, Brooke collided with a figure in front of her.

"Sorry!" Brooke exclaimed. She looked up right into the eyes of Lucas Scott.

"Lost?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

Brooke narrowed her eyes. "No, I'm on my way to see the guidance counselor, thank you."

Lucas chuckled. "Here less than a day and they've already got you seeing the counselor? You're worse off than I thought. I was here at least a week before they thought I needed help."

"Ha, aren't you hysterical," Brooke scoffed, "I don't supposed you actually have a reason for not being in class?'

"Yeah, I have a reason. I didn't feel like going," Lucas replied.

Brooke rolled her eyes, "Right. Anyway, as nice as this little chat was, I should be going."

"Right, the princess doesn't want to be late," he laughed, enjoying the rise he was getting off of her.

Brooke shot Lucas a look of disgust and went on her way.

"Bye Brookie!" Lucas laughed from behind her.

I guess every school has its own share of jerks, Brooke thought.

Well? I know it's starting off kind of slow but I haven't written in a while. Please review, it will give me inspiration to write some more.
