Hey everyone. I decided to repost and revise this story…this is the prologue of the story! I hope you like it! Please review…I love to see what you think of my stories, so PLEASE review. The more replies the quicker I update! Thanks

Rated T…and unfortunately I do not own anything…except for the characters you do not recognize, but they will not play a big part of the story, I don't think!

Important things to know: Lucas joined the basketball team when he and Haley were in the ninth grade. That year Haley moved away, with her father, Jimmy James, and stepmother, Lydia. Now they are all seniors.



Have you ever noticed that if you're not popular, no one knows you, or ever knew you existed and if they knew you it because they made fun of you?

Take for insistence my school, there are the basketball players, the cheerleaders, the football players, the rednecks, the stoners, and then you have your nerds, and then there's me: Tree Hill's own TutorGirl. Well, that was what the popular people nicknamed me, before I moved.

No one really knew me in Tree hill, well the real me. I mean don't get me wrong, I had friends, but I use that term loosely. Natalie, Carmen, and Katie, they were great, but they wanted more. All they could ever talk about was the popular people. They wanted to be them. The only problem was that none of the popular people gave them a second look.

Then there was Luke. Lucas Scott. He was my best friend, but again I use that term very loosely. He knew the real me, the me that I didn't even know myself. He could read me like an open book, and I could him. Then he joined the basketball team. The sex, drugs, alcohol, and girls pulled him in. He claimed he would never leave me, but of course he did, and he became 'The Great Lucas Scott, All Star Basketball Player.' I mean don't think I wasn't happy for him, because I was. I really was. But again when he became the star, he forgot about me, like I said. Actually, I know he didn't, he would always try to talk to me, but I ignored him, but before you judge me, I had my reasons. Every time I walked passed him when he was with his buddies, he looked away, and when someone cracked a joke about me, even though he thought I didn't see him, I heard him laugh. I knew his laugh, better than I knew my own.

The only time he would talk to me was when we were alone and he had no chance of being seen with me. But that was then. Now I'm a different person. That's right, I'm Haley James.

Every year my high school holds the annual basketball convention in Newport Beach. That's right I go to Newport Beach High School. Schools from all over the country are invited, but they have to be invited to come. That's the beauty of it.

I always love this time of year, new boys to corrupt and new girls to make jealous. God, I love this time! That's why right now I'm excited. Today was the first day of the convention, the only thing I didn't realize was that it was going to be a day I would never forget, the day when the past finally catches up with you, but the funny thing is, I was more prepared to see my past, then they were to see me.


Spoilers: Haley and Lucas see each other again
