Haley was getting dressed for her first day at Tree Hill High. She was putting on a little bit of mascara. Once she was ready she went downstairs with Jamie on her hip.

"Morning, Augusto," Haley said jokingly. August was her 7 years old brother. Her whole family had a lot of nicknames for him.

"Hi, Haley," He said and continued eating his captain crunch cereal. Haley got out some eggs and started cooking them on the stove. Alex walked in.

"Oh, I need the stove!" Alex said. The house was always very busy at this time in the morning.

"You can have it," She said pouring the scrambled eggs off the pan and on a plate. She broke the soft scrambled eggs into tiny pieces. Once they cooled off she placed them on the table part of the high chair and sat Jamie in the high chair.

"Oh, Mom!" Haley said seeing her mom walk in.

"Yeah?" Lydia asked.

"Can you drop Jamie off at daycare? I'm running late," Haley said.

"Sure," Haley grabbed an apple and the keys off her motorcycle.

"Thanks, mom. Bye, baby." She said to Jamie and kissing the top of his head. He had four fingers in his mouth trying to get some eggs.

"Have a good day, sweetie," Lydia yelled after Haley.

"You too, mom!" Haley yelled running out the door.

"Peyton, I'm just saying you could brood together," Brooke finished.

"1, He's a Southside Serpent. 2, I don't brood," Peyton said. Peyton was a gorgeous, leggy, curly headed, blonde. She was Brooke Davis's best friend. She was a Northsider and cheerleader. She was a cheerleader because her mother, that passed away, was one. She was also a great artist and loved music. She couldn't sing but she loved listening to it. She was blunt and sarcastic but that's what people liked about her.

"Fine. If you don't go after him, I will," Brooke said. Brooke was captain of the cheer squad. She was bubbly and kind. From the outside, she might seem like a spoiled, shallow, boy-obsessed, rich girl, but she was kind and compassionate. She had a horrible mother. She generally slept around a lot. She was thinking about trying to get into a serious relationship. She wanted love. She had also, recently taken an interest in a certain blonde, serpent boy, named Lucas Scott.

"So what's her story?" Peyton asked looking at Haley walking looking for her locker.

"All I know is she has a crap ton of brothers and always talks about a "Jamie"," Brooke said. They were trying to figure out all the new Southsiders were.

"Boyfriend?"

'Probably," Brooke said.

"Nathan isn't gonna be happy about that," Peyton said.

"Into more pressing matters," Brooke started linking her arm with Peyton's, "We need to get you a boyfriend."

"No," Peyton said.

"Come one, you need a rebound after Ryan!" Brooke exclaimed.

"I will find one when I'm ready," Peyton said.

"Fine. Are we gonna be-friend all these Southsiders?" Brooke asked gesturing her hands around.

'I guess. I mean we have to share a school with them. Plus, I'm tired of all this Northside, Southside drama."

"I agree."

"So who is the brunette you were staring at?" Haley asked walking up and taking a bite out of her apple.

"No food. Already got in trouble for that," Lucas said.

"Dang it," Haley said and tried to throw her half-eaten apple in the trash. She missed and it landed on the ground. She walked over and put it in the trash and walked back to Lucas.

"You suck at anything that is even somewhat sports related," Lucas said jokingly.

"Shut up. Anyways, who's the girl?" Haley asked opening the locker next to Lucas.

"Brooke Davis," He said.

"Target, Brooke Davis?" Haley asked in shock.

"Shh, Don't say it so loud."

Lucas remembered...

when he was 12 and his mom sent him and Haley in Target to grab Shampoo and toothpaste. Haley went to grab the shampoo while Lucas grabbed toothpaste. He headed down the aisle and saw a gorgeous brunette. He pretended to look at toothpaste while the girl next to him was struggling to grab a toothbrush on the top shelf. Lucas was tall so he decided to help her.

"Do you need help?" Lucas asked her.

"Actually, yes, please," She responded. He reached up and grabbed it.

"Thanks, I'm Brooke Davis," She said sticking out her hand.

"Lucas," He said shaking her hand. She smiled at him. Lucas thought he was in love.

"Brooke? Where are you?" Another girl's voice called out. Brooke kept her eyes locked with Lucas.

"I'm coming, Peyton," She said and ran off. Lucas ran a hand through his hair. Trying to clear his foggy mind.

"Lucas!" Haley said snapping her fingers trying to bring him out of his daze.

"Huh?"

"Daydreaming about Brooke?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"Maybe."

"Well guess we should head to class," Haley said grabbing a book.

"Yep."

"Let's go," she said. He hung an arm lazily around her shoulder and they headed to class.

"Hey, did you ever hear anything back?" Jake asked Haley.

"We still have to wait a day," She said putting her forehead on the cafeteria.

"How's Jamie? Is he making it through the night?" Jake asked.

"Only if he's being held," She said picking up her head.

"I'm guessing that's the reason you kept almost falling asleep in Algebra?" He asked.

"Yup. How about Jenny? Is she still doing that whole 3:30 AM thing?"

"Unfortunately, yes," He said.

"You know we aren't supposed to bond over children for like 10 years," Lucas added into there conversation. They were all having lunch in the cafeteria. Jake and Haley were talking about there children, while everyone else was talking about more teenager topics.

"Fine. What do you want to talk about?" Haley asked Lucas.

"How about a Northsider being in love with you?" Lucas teased.

"What about you being in love with a Northsider?" Haley threw back.

"Who?" Skillz asked.

"Brooke," Haley said.

"Target Brooke?" Skillz asked in shock.

"Yep!"

"Wow."

"I know, right?" Haley said.

"Wow, dawg. I thought Lucas lost the love of his life," Junk dramatized.

"Where for out thou, Brooke?" Bevin mimicked in a Lucas' voice. They all laughed. Lucas threw a frnch fry at Haley.

"What did I do?" Haley asked throwing another french fry at him.

"You brought up the topic," Lucas stated.

"No, you started it," Haley said.

"Oh yeah, who's in love with Haley?" Skillz asked.

"Nathan," Lucas said. She threw another fry at him. He looked up and made a "Stop" face. She just shrugged.

"Really?" Fergie chimed in.

"Yep. Evidence example number 1," Lucas nodded towards the "popular" table. Sure enough, Nathan was looking at Haley. Haley and Nathan made eye contact. Nathan smirked and Haley glared.

"Ooo, the Rich boy has a crush," Alex teased.

"I hate you all," she said playfully.

"It's fine, Hales. We know you love us!" Bevin said teasingly.

"Not as much as Luke the lover over here loves Luke," Haley said looking at Lucas.

"Not as much as Nathan loves you," Lucas shot back. Haley and Lucas glared at each other until Haley broke eye contact.

"Okay! I'm going to the tutoring center!" Haley said getting up and throwing her trash away. Lucas turned to Jake.

"Who are you looking at?' Lucas asked.

"No one," Jake shook his head.

"Hi, how do I sign up to tutor?" Haley asked.

"We just have to check you in. I'm Samantha, nice to meet you." The woman said.

"Okay, thanks. Nice to meet you too Samantha," Haley said with a polite smile.

"Full name?" Samantha asked.

"Haley Bob James," Haley said. The woman raised an eyebrow at her.

"I'm named after a cat," Haley said dismissively.

"Okay, Address?" Haley gave her address and answered her other questions.

"Okay. If you would like to stop tutoring just ask. We just have to take you out of the system. We will let you know as soon as we get someone for you to tutor," The young adult said.

"Okay," Haley said and went out of the tutoring center and now had a bounce in her step. She tutored at Southside High and she could tutor again. She loved seeing that light turn on when someone finally gets a concept. Her phone went off. She checked it and saw that it was an email. She didn't recognize the email and she opened it. She read it and saw.

SMASH RECORDS

Hi Haley. We are pleased to tell you that we would be happy to sign you! We would like to meet and go over cont-

That's all she read. She stopped abruptly. The halls were crowded now and a few people bumped into her. She just stood there staring at her screen. She covered her mouth with her hand. She broke out into a wide smile. She took off running toward where her, Jake, Lucas, Alec, and Adams lockers were. She ran trying to dodge people. She ran into a few people but she just mumbled "sorry".

"JAKE!" She exclaimed. It caused a few people to stare but she didn't really notice. She was too wrapped up in excitement.

"Way to be subtle, Hales," Jake said.

"Shut up and check your email!" She said breathlessly from running.

"Oh...my...gosh," Jake mumbled.

SMASH RECORDS

Hello, Jake. We are pleased to inform you that we will be signing you. We would like to have you come in and work on some cont-

He stopped there and he broke out into the same smile as Haley. He hugged her quickly.

"Holy crap!" He said running a hand through his hair trying to regain composure.

"What happened?" Lucas asked.

"I GOT SIGNED!" Haley exclaimed.

"Haley that's great," Lucas hugged her. The bell went off.

"Why don't we ditch?" Lucas asked.

"You're just trying to get out of basketball try-outs and no!" She said reading over the email again.

"I wanna play, but not with him!" Lucas whined and pointed to Nathan across the hall.

"Poor baby! Want me to call the Wha-bulance," She mocked.

"Fine! We'll stay," Lucas said.

"Well, I have gym. So, bye!" She said and waved off.

Okay! Now Haley and Jake got signed. Their music will be a big part of the story. We also know that Nathan obviously has a crush on Haley. I hope ya enjoyed!
