A/N: Here's another chapter... I was wondering if people didn't like this story or something. The reviews have been very limited to the point that I'm not sure whether I should continue it. Please review and let me know!
Today marked the first day at Tree Hill High for me. Luke helped show me where all my classes were going to be and told me he would see me at lunch. My first couple of classes went by alright. After all, I had always been really great at school, so I caught on pretty quick to what the teachers were covering. It was now time for lunch and I went off in search of Luke.
I saw him sitting with a couple of the guys I had met the day before as well as a few others. Luke saw me and yelled, "Haley over here!"
I walked over and sat down next to him. I smiled at the guys I had met as they all said hello. Then a petite brunette girl walked over with a curly haired blonde and sat down next to me. "Well hello new girl, I don't believe we've met. I'm Brooke," the brunette said.
"Oh my bad, I'm sorry. Haley, I forgot you didn't meet everyone yesterday. I see you've met Brooke, the blonde is Peyton, and the guy across from her is Jake who is also on the basketball team," Luke stated.
"So what's your story new girl?" Brooke wondered.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
Brooke smiled before leaning closer and saying, "I mean why you are hanging out with these guys? You should totally come hang out with me and Peyton after school today. We're going shopping and it's going to be a lot of fun. Plus, you can fill me in on your life story."
"There's not much to tell there," I whispered, "plus I've never really been shopping."
"Well then it's settled. You will come with us and I'll help you pick out some new clothes," Brooke said excitedly.
"Brooke, leave the poor girl alone already," the blonde joked, "don't let her talk you into something you don't want to do. She has a tendency of doing that."
I smiled before saying, "Well I guess I could go. I've never really had any girls that were my age to hang out with."
Luke piped in and said, "Plus, I have practice after school. Haley you should definitely go and I'll meet you back at the house."
"Alright," I finally agreed.
Brooke shrieked, "Yes! We are going to become the best of friends."
I looked over at the blonde and asked, "Should I be worried?"
She just laughed and said, "Nah, she's harmless."
Lunch went by smoothly and I got to talk some more with the guys. I noticed Nathan didn't come join us though, but I didn't bother asking why not. I just assume not to have to see him if I could help it. There was something about him that I just couldn't figure out. The bell finally rang and I headed off to my other classes agreeing to meet Brooke and Peyton at my locker.
The final bell had just rung and I was headed to my locker when I saw Nathan. He saw me and walked closer. "So I see you are wondering if my offer is still good form last night?" he said arrogantly.
"Actually, I was headed to my locker, so if you'll excuse me," I said.
"You know you're pretty stubborn. There are not many girls around here like you and I like that. I'll see ya around," he responded before walking off.
I shrugged his statement off and continued on my way to my locker. Once there, I found Brooke and Peyton already waiting. "So I see you've met the Nathan Scott?" Brooke joked.
"Unfortunately," I whispered.
"Don't let him get to you. He tries to hit on all the girls. Many people are surprised when they find out that's Luke's brother because they act nothing alike. I'm even surprised Luke puts up with him sometimes, but Nathan can really be a nice guy when he wants to be," Peyton stated.
"You seem to know quite a bit about him," I said.
"We dated our freshman and sophomore year off and on. Now we're just friends," Peyton replied.
"You dated him?" I asked.
"Ha yea. Don't worry though he's free game. Just in case you wanted to know," Peyton added.
I was confused at her statement before Brooke explained, "What Peyt is saying is that, if you are interested in him than she's ok with it. After all, I must say normally Nathan doesn't just stop any girl in the hallway like that, only the ones he's interested in."
"Are you kidding me? He asked me to join him in his backseat. I want nothing to do with him," I tried convincing them.
"It seems new girl has a little crush," Brooke confirmed once my cheeks grew a little rosy, "but I'm going to help make you beautiful so he will not know what hit him."
"I don't know," I said unsure.
"Trust me," Brooke confided, "he will be begging by tomorrow."
Peyton just laughed and said, "Alright, let's go before Haley changes her mind."
I followed them out to Brooke's car and headed to the mall. The ride was pretty short and so there wasn't much talking. Mainly it was just listening to the radio. I looked out the window and smiled because for once I had actually made some friends. If they only knew the real me though, I thought, I'm not so sure they would like me. I tried blocking that out of my mind as we continued driving.
