Haley woke to the sound of her alarm beeping at 7am; she rolled over in her bed and let out a groan. So it was to begin, this was it, the day that she had been dreading since her move to Tree Hill, the day she became a student of Tree Hill High. Being the new kid was always going to be hard in any school you went to, the constant stares, the rumours about why you transferred here, the hard choice about who to talk to or where to sit. In Haley's last high school she had been sort of popular since she dated Josh every one wanted to know her to get to him, but when they broke up it went straight back to the way it was always meant to be- Haley as the outcast, and she knew this was how it was going to be here. Haley got up, had a quick shower and put on a plain white tank top and jeans and caught her hair up in a ponytail like she always did because she felt that it was too wavy to control.
Haley pulled up at the school in her car and looked for a parking space where she wouldn't be noticed too much since her car was very old and beat up, and she didn't want to attract too much negative attention to herself on the first day. Walking through the halls of Tree Hill High was just like any other school; there was all the different clicks- the jocks, the cheerleaders, rockers, the nerds and the loners, which is how Haley felt. She could see the rumours all ready starting when she saw two girls looking at her and whispering. Haley noticed how the one with the brown hair was extremely gorgeous and knew straight away that she must have been the queen bee of the school, while the blond one with curly hair looked more like the artist type, kind of a weird mix for a friendship, but who was Haley to judge, at least they had friends. Haley continued on walking towards the principal's office to get her class timetable as well as her tutoring timetable. Haley had always been a tutor; she saw this as her easy way of having an extra curricular activity on her college application, while not having to do something that involved everyone like sports or cheerleading.
After receiving her timetable Haley went to straight to her first class, and as per usual she was first to arrive which meant she had the pick of seats. She taught about sitting at the back out of everyone's way but didn't want the teacher to think she was a dosser so settled for half way- the happy medium. Soon enough the bell rang and students started to pile into the class, along with the teacher. Half way through the class the teacher announced it was pair work time and Haley couldn't help but groan, this was it the time where she would be left on her own and the teacher would make a big deal out of it to try find her a partner. But Haley was surprised when the boy in front of her turned around and smiled at her. Haley couldn't help but noticed how hot he was and smiled back.
'Hi my names Lucas, Lucas Scott, your new here right?'
'Yeah I just moved to the area and transferred here from Riverdales' replied Haley
Haley couldn't believe how nice Lucas was to her. They had worked together on the assignment and it had turned out they had a bunch of classes together, so Haley had a personal guide all morning. They chatted a lot and got to know one another, and Haley wasn't even turned off when she found out he was a basketball player. She knew that this was the start of a good friendship and Lucas had even invited her to have lunch with him and his friends, Haley couldn't believe her look of meeting someone so nice on her first day.
