Here ya go…the first chapter of Ravens

Chapter One

Brooke Davis walked through the hall with her best friend Haley James and held a stack of papers. They were invites to her first party of the new school year. Now, if you didn't know Brooke Davis, her parties were legendary. Not only because it had kick ass music performed by none other than Haley James but it also had all the right drinks and all the right people.

Brooke talked to Haley as she passed out the invitations.

"So what are you going to wear?" Brooke asked. She didn't get a response from Haley because her eyes were glued to the screen of her pink razr.

"Hello, earth to tutorgirl!" Brooke yelled. Still getting no response, she smirked as she got an idea. They were coming up to a row of lockers and no one was around so, with all her might Brooke pushed Haley into the lockers. There was a loud thud of Haley's body against the metal and a screech of pain. Haley dropped her cell phone on the ground. Finally Haley was alert and she glared at Brooke who was stuck in a giggle fit.

"Jesus Brooke, are you trying to kill me?" Haley asked as she picked up her cell phone.

"I would never." Brooke replied sarcastically. She laughed and the two continued on their way, this time Haley put her cell phone away.

"So what were you saying Brooke?" Haley asked.

"I asked you if you knew what you were wearing on Friday."

"What's Friday?"

"My party, duh. You've known this for like how long."

Haley looked down to the ground with guilt. "Sorry B, but I kind of have a date with Lucas for that night."

Brooke stopped and pouted at Haley. "But, Haley." She whined.

Haley smiled before saying, "Got ya." Haley walked forward. Brooke ran after her and when she finally caught up, she asked.

"Huh?"

"Brooke, do you really think I would miss your first party of junior year?" Haley asked hypothetically. "I was just messing with you."

"But why, you almost gave me a heart attack." Brooke complained as she turned towards her locker door.

"Because you pushed me into a row of lockers." Haley said frowning.

"Who pushed you into a row of lockers?" a voice asked behind Haley that gave her chills. She smiled a turned around.

"Hey Luke." Haley said as she stood on her tip toes to give him a small peck on the lips.

"Hey baby." Luke responded as he adjusted his back pack. He looked up and noticed Brooke frowning.

"What's wrong Cheery?" he asked.

"Where's my boyfriend?" Brooke complained. Just then she felt hands cover her eyes and she jumped. Lucas and Haley laughed.

"I'm guessing he's right behind you." Haley joked as she closed her locker door. Brooke peeled his hands off of her eyes and turned around coming eye to eye to deep blue ones. She smiled up at Nathan who was looking at Haley as he spoke.

"Way to ruin the surprise Hales?"

"I try." Haley joked. Lucas put his arm around Haley's shoulder and she sunk against his chest.

Brooke pulled Nathan's face towards hers and their lips met. Soon the passionate kiss turned into a forceful make out. They went on for at least a minute until someone cleared their throat. All four of the friends turned to look at two girls. One was a blonde with curly hair and the other one was tall with red straight hair.

"Can we help you?" Brooke asked snobbily.

"Uh yeah, you can help me by moving away from my locker." The blonde haired girl snapped. Brooke stepped towards the girl.

"Who do you think you are?" Brooke asked harshly.

"Well, I believe I'm Peyton Sawyer." Peyton replied sarcastically. She then turned to the red haired girl. "Aren't I Rachel?"

Brooke looked at the red haired who could only nod her head.

"Well I don't care what your fucking name is Penny, don't ever talk to me like that again or you will be sorry." Brooke threatened. Haley, who realized that the situation might get ugly, pulled Brooke by the arm and nodded at the two other girls. The four kids left the scene leaving only Peyton and Rachel by the lockers. Once they were out of ear shot Peyton let out a small shriek.

"Jeez, what's wrong Peyt?" Rachel asked.

"Popular kids bug the hell out of me. They think that they are God's gift to everybody and that they are the only people that matter." Peyton ranted as she dug through her locker.

"I don't know, that blonde haired girl seemed nice."

"Haley?" Peyton asked.

"Sure, why not." Rachel said, unsure.

"Yeah, she's okay I guess."

"And how do you know that?" Rachel asked as she headed in the opposite direction.

"She's a tutor at the tutor center."

"Oh cool." Rachel said. Rachel got an idea as they headed down the halls. Ever since the summer after sophomore year when she bumped into Nathan Scott at the summer block party and he said, "Sup?" to her, she'd made it her goal to become popular by the end of Junior year. 'If I can get close to Haley, I'm a shoe in to become popular.' Rachel thought to herself. Her and Peyton passed by the tutor center and Rachel stopped.

"Rach, what' wrong?" Peyton asked her friend. "We have to meet Jake and Bevin in the quad."

"Um, I forgot something in my locker, I'll meet you out there." Rachel lied. Peyton looked at her skeptically but nodded. "Okay." Peyton headed towards the quad. Rachel waited until Peyton was out of view and then turned towards the tutor center. She stepped inside and saw the sign up sheet on the desk. She walked over towards it, picked up the pen, and signed up to get a tutor, preferably Haley James. When the deed was done, Rachel put the pen next to the clip board and headed towards the quad.
