CHAPTER 2

BROOKE'S POV (Point of view)

I should really get more sleep Brooke thought as she suppressed a yawn. The last few days have been tiresome. With packing out all of the boxes to keeping up to date with the latest fashions and back to school wear. She was having sleepless nights. The thing that gave her the most sleepless nights were 'his' eyes... Those piercing blue eyes she could not forget.

She had finally finished buying all her outfits for the first school term that was due to start in two days. She put the bags that were in her hands in her car. She felt her eyelids flutter shut. She really needed strong coffee before she drove home. She looked up, she saw the perfect little place. A cafe called: Karen's Cafe. Brooke walked into the cafe and sat down near the window. A girl about her age came to serve her. The girl had brown eyes and blond hair. She was also petite.

Haley's POV

Haley had been working at Karen's Cafe since she was sixteen years old. She knew most of the people in Tree Hill, but the girl that had just walked into Karen's Cafe she had never seen before. Was she a tourist? But it wasn't tourist season Haley remembered. The girl looked about eighteen. Haley took a menu and walked over.
"Hi, welcome to Karen's Cafe. Here's a menu." Haley said. The girl looked up, smiled and took the menu from her. "Thanks". Haley turned to go serve some other customers. After a while she saw the girl motioning at her. She walked over. "Ready to order?" she said. The girl nod her head. "I'd like a Chocolate Sunday, a cup of coffee and a cappuchino." Haley gave the order to the cook. Then looked back at the girl. She looks so sad and lonely. Maybe i should introduce myself? Haley thought. Without a second thought she asks Karen if she could have an early lunchbreak.

Brooke's POV

Brooke snapped out of her daydream, about the guy with blue eyes, when the waitress put her food infront of her. As she begins to eat, she feels a presence next to her. She looks up for the second time. It was the girl that had brought her the menu.
"Hi, i'm Haley James" the girl said as she extended her hand to Brooke.
"Brooke Davis" she replied as she shook Haley's hand.
"May i sit here?" Haley asked while pulling out the chair.
"Yeah, sure. Why not..." Brooke replied.
"You are new around here, aren't you?" Haley asked.
"Yeah, we just moved here from Beverly Hills." Brooke replied.
"O, that's nice. You must have hated moving here. I mean, it's so busy there and your life was there and now you come to old Tree Hill. You must be finding it boring and you don't even know anybody. Anyway, that's how i would have felt." Suprised Brooke looked at the girl. That's exactly how she felt. It's like Haley had taken the words right out of her mouth.

"Well, yeah, but i moved a year ago... and now again so i'm used to it. Besides dad moved for me bec..." Brooke stopped talking midsentence. She had almost said too much. O Gosh! Had Haley picked up on it?
Haley could see the worry in Brooke's eyes. She obviously thinks she went too far. I am curious, but i won't ask her anything until she feels comfortable talking to me. "O, that's really nice. So how is Tree Hill so far?" Haley asked.
Brooke let out a breath. Thank goodness Haley hadn't realized that she had stopped midsentence. "It's been okay, I don't have any friends yet and i don't know the people around here." Brooke said looking away. Haley reached out and took hold of Brooke's hand. " You have a friend, me and tomorrow you can meet the rest of the group if you want to?" Haley asked sincerely.
Brooke smiled. "I'd like that." It felt like she and Haley had been friends for ages. She really liked Haley. If the friendship last, she had a feeling, that it would turn out great.

LATER THAT EVENING

Brooke arrived home at 6pm and just as she walked through the front door her dad cornered her in the hallway. "Where the hell have you been? I've been calling for hours!" He looked really mad at her. "I'm sorry dad. I've been out shopping and i've made a new friend. We talked for hours and i switched off my phone." With that she tries walking past her dad. The bags were getting heavier by the minute.
"Dad can you let me pass please." Brooke sighed. Her dad moved out of the way. She began walking up the stairs. "Brooke, you have an half an hour to get ready. We're going to have dinner with my business partner, Keith Scott, and his family. So hurry up. I'd hate to be late." Shane said trying to hide a smirk.
"Dad!! But..." Brooke half said, half shouted. She almost dropped all her bags as she turned around. "I tried to phone you." was all he said. She heard him chuckle as he walked out of the room.

At exactly 6:30 pm, a half an hour later Shane called Brooke to come downstairs, it was time to go. When Brooke walked down the stairs Shane watched in awe. She had curled her hair and was wearing a black dress. "You look beautiful." Shane said. "Thanks dad." Brooke said as she gave her dad a kiss.

THE SCOTT HOUSE

"Nathan! Lucas! Are you guys done dressing? They are going to be here any moment." Keith shouted from the bottom of the stairs. "Honey, Nathan will be ready in time and Lucas is at Peyton's house." Karen said as she striaghtened Keith's tie.
"Why is he there? He has to be here in time." Keith said confused.
"He helped Peyton renovate her room, he knows how much this means to you" Karen said. She saw Nathan walking down the stairs. The doorbell rung.
"Mom, you look great." Nathan said while he walked to the door. When Nathan oppened the door he caught his breath. Haley looked stunning. She was wearing a pink above the knee dress. "Hales... you look beautiful." Nathan said as he took her hands. Haley smiled up at him. "Can i come in?" She asked laughing. Nathan smiled sheepishly and moved out of the way.

A half an hour later Shane and Brooke still hadn't arrived and everyone was starting to get restless. "They should have been here by now? And where is Lucas!" As Keith finished the sentence the doorbell rung. Everybody followed Karen into the receiving area. Karen opened the door. "Helo Shane." Keith said, while he and Shane shake hands. "Sorry that we're late. We had a flat tire." Shane apologized.
"Hi, you must be Brooke? I'm Karen, this is Nathan." She says as she points to him. "And that's..." Karen started to say, but was interupted by Brooke. "Haley, i didn't know you were going to be here." She said as they hugged. "Well, Nathan is my boyfriend. So yeah..." After all the introductions were done they moved to the dinnig room.

Brooke's POV

They had a wonderful meal. Chicken with potatoes and Gravey. And for desert they had chocolate mouse. Dad, Karen and Keith had talked about their business. What came as a suprise to her was that Keith and her dad had known each other long before the partnership. They had been friends in highschool. Brooke liked Nathan a lot. He was very funny and down to earth. She really felt wanted here. After dinner Karen had retired them to the living room. She had needed the bathroom, Haley showed her were it was and went back to Nathan. While she walked back, she walked past the receiving area. She saw photo's and because she was a curious person she walked over. Her eyes skimed over most of them, but one caught her eye... Brooke picked it up, it was the boy she had seen at the rivercourt. He was even more goodlooking in the picture. The door opened. She turned towards it.

"Ma! I'm her..." The boy shouted, stopping midsentence. He stared at her. It's him... She thought. It's those piercing blue eyes...

So, let me know what you think. And please review. Thanx!!
