A/N: So this idea came to me to write an AU story where Breyton weren't friends.
Welcome To The Universe
She was cheer; it was her middle name (but not really). Brooke Penelope Davis cheered for team; she was the head cheerleader at Tree Hill High. Ever since she was a little girl, she always wanted to be a cheerleader so when the opportunity came, she grabbed it with both hands.
She worked hard and never complained, though there were times when she wanted to, so when the departing captain chose her to take over, she was ecstatic.
Never had she been so proud, she achieved what she wanted and she wasn't going to let go of it. It's a shame her parents never felt the same about her, being, caring or even loving her. They were never around at birthdays, thanksgivings or Christmas. All she had to show for it was a big empty house.
It was so bad that she didn't even consider them her family anymore. She was an only child and in her eyes, she had no parents either.
The only person she could rely on was Nathan Scott, the basketball hero and son of Dan and Deb.
They had been friends for years, always looking out for each other. People always thought that they were or had been dating but it was never like that for them.
People actually went round calling them Brathan and that's how they referred to them when they couldn't be bothered to say both their names.
There was love between them but it was purely platonic. They had spent a lot of the summer together, just hanging out and having a laugh.
Nathan needed a distraction as his parents had split up but still seemed to always be around each other, arguing constantly. He wished that they would just get divorced and stop the constant headache they were giving him.
Brooke made sure that the summer plan was to cheer Nathan up (again with the cheer, it never stops).
Today was the first day of their senior year. Did I tell you that Brooke and Nathan now run the school? It was the divine right of the cheerleading and basketball captains, their right of passage.
They were the most popular kids and everyone wanted to be their friend, date them, speak to them and probably be their PA or something. Anything to get them on their good side because once they liked you, you became somebody.
Nathan drove up and parked in his spot at school (yes he had his on spot that no one was allowed to park in).
Brooke followed behind him and tried to park in her spot but a black convertible comet already took it. Brooke was fuming. She looked at Nathan, who was now standing by his car, and he just shrugged his shoulders.
She left her green beetle, blocking the black comet and hastily got out the car slamming the door.
"Who would dare do such a thing?" She fumed.
"I don't know but I'm sure we'll find out." Nathan responded.
Both Nathan and Brooke received text alerts, in fact there were several text alerts going off, from other people around them.
They both looked at each other and said simultaneously "Gigi". They looked at their phones, which had the same message, a picture of the black car with words.
'Which old face has returned and parked their car in Brooke Davis' spot. Why did she leave and why has she returned. You tell us. Welcome back Peyton Sawyer. Gigi'.
You could literally see steam coming out of Brooke's ears as she stomped into the school building with Nathan not too far behind.
Peyton Sawyer was just coming out of the school office with her class schedule in her hand.
She was dressed in skinny black jeans, a black rock tour t-shirt with white converse trainers and a black leather jacket.
She didn't think she would return to Tree Hill, the way things went. She left last year in a cloud of mystery. Unknown to her, lots of rumours went round.
People had whispered that she got herself pregnant, she killed her dad (because her was never around) or that she died herself.
Even though she hadn't heard them she wasn't one to care about what people though of her.
The bell went off and everybody made their way to their respective class. They were trying to make sure that they weren't late for the first class of the year.
Peyton was the last to enter her class. She could feel everybody's eyes on her with whispering voices passing through the room. Everybody seemed to be awaiting her next move.
Peyton looked around hoping to see the familiar faces of her cousin Lucas Scott and their friend Haley James.
Now before you ask, she isn't related to Nathan. Lucas's mum, Karen Rowe and Peyton's mum, Anna are sisters. Unfortunately Anna died in a traffic accident when Peyton was younger.
"Glad to see you again Miss Sawyer." Mr Reeves addresses her.
"It's good to be back." She replied though she wasn't completely sure if that was true.
"Take a seat." Mr Reeves gave her a textbook before she went to an empty seat.
Brooke had been watching her the whole time, still fuming about her parking spot.
"I know what to do to teach her a lesson." Brooke whispered to Nathan, who had the seat to her right.
He rolled his eyes thinking that this was going to be the next instalment of their long running feud.
The thing that got him was he never knew why Brooke disliked Peyton so much. This was one thing that she kept hidden from him. He attempted many times to get the information out her but she never revealed it. At this point he didn't care anymore and was slightly relived when Peyton disappeared.
The truth is that he knew the black convertible was Peyton's but he didn't want to say anything. He thought he could have a quiet morning and hoped Gigi hadn't found out. It was naïve but you couldn't blame him for trying.
Lunch had rolled around and Peyton still hadn't seen Lucas or Haley. She was hoping that she would have some classes with them but it was early days.
She walked to the spot in the quad where the three of them used to have lunch, hoping they hadn't broken a habit of a lifetime. To her delight, she spotted them with their backs slightly towards her.
"It seems some things never change round here." She announced
Lucas and Haley smiled at hearing the familiar voice and turned around.
"It's so good to see you." Haley said while pulling Peyton into a hug. "We've missed you Peyton."
"I heard a rumour you were back but I thought my cousin would tell me if she came back to Tree Hill." Lucas said while he pulled into a hug also. "Why didn't you tell me you were back?" He continued.
"I got in late last night and I didn't want to wake you up. I wasn't sure I was even gonna come into today but it's a bad idea to miss anymore school." Peyton replied pulling away form the embrace.
"Well we're glad you're here now. How was it?" Haley asked. Her tone got serious.
"Heartbreaking. I didn't want to say goodbye but you have to, you know. Haley gave Peyton a reassuring squeeze on her arm.
Only Lucas, Karen and Haley knew the reason why Peyton left Tree Hill last year. They didn't say anything to anybody else, as it was nobody's business.
"It's hard but I'll get through it." Peyton continued thinking back to the reason she left.
The three of them continued catching up until lunch was over. By coincidence the three of them were in the same class together. Peyton was relieved that she finally got a class with at least one of them.
Once everybody was seated Mr Chavez looked at two empty seats next to each other.
"I guess those two will not be joining us today." The teacher said.
All of a sudden a chorus of text alerts went off and everybody looked at their phone, instantly knowing whom it was from.
'The 1st party of the school year will happen this week but who will get an invite. All will be revealed later. Gigi'.
"Switch your cell phones off in class." Mr Chavez shouted.
Peyton looked at everybody wondering what it was all about. She was wondering how much she really missed.
Chavez started droning on about how important this year was and what was expected of the students. The class door opened and everyone's eyes looked to it. Everybody was happy at the distraction.
Brooke and Nathan stumbled in, not trying to be quiet about. Instantly some people thought they had just come from an empty classroom or the janitor's closet.
"Oh, I'm so glad you two could fit me into your busy schedule." Chavez said sarcastically.
"Pencil this into you busy calendar, detention after school with me." He added.
Brooke groaned as they both went to their seats. Everybody started to giggle.
"I don't know what you're all laughing at. You'll be joining them." Chavez announced.
Everybody's giggles soon turned into groans. 'This was going to be a long afternoon' the occupants of the whole classroom thought.
Once detention was over, everyone shuffled out of class quickly. Some of them were looking at their phones laughing as another set of texts went round.
"What's with the simultaneous text messages? It's the second time I've noticed this." Peyton asked Lucas and Haley as they were walking to the car park.
"It's Gigi. She's a blogger with a difference. As well as her website, she sends texts alerts about the things and events that are going on in school." Haley explained.
"Oh I haven't checked the last one." Haley said while getting her phone out.
"Do you both get this?" Peyton asked.
"Yes." Haley said. Lucas shot her a look like he didn't want anyone to know that he was interested in such things.
"Um Peyton, you're gonna want to check your car." Haley said quite nervously.
Peyton looked confused then heading to her car.
Lucas looked at Haley wondering what was going on.
"Check your phone." Haley simply said.
Once Peyton reached her car she found diapers and condoms in the car. She happened to have left her roof off this morning and she was cursing that decision.
Lucas and Haley caught up with her and she looked at them.
"Who would do such a thing?" She asked them.
They had an idea seeing whose spot she was parked in. If on cue, Brooke's green beetle drove past.
"I thought they might come in handy. Next time don't park in my spot. Welcome back Sawyer." Brooke chuckled as she drove away.
A/N: So let me know what you think and if I should continue
