Haley James, 22, drove her car along the road with her best friend Lucas Roe, 22, they were on there way to their new home in Tree Hill. Haley James had just broken up with her boyfriend of one year because he was pressuring her into sex, you see Haley always wanted to wait until she was in love to have sex. At first Steven, her boyfriend, had accepted that but after 7 months he started to pressure her more and more, he was always trying to take things to the next level, but she just wasn't in love with him. So after about a year of dating she told him she wanted to brake up because they both wanted different things and surprisingly he agreed. And here she was sat in the drivers seat in her car next to her best friend on her way to start a new life.

Her and Lucas had been best friend since they were children, they grew up in the same neighborhood, so when she told him she was moving he automatically said he would move with her, Lucas didn't have much back in California, apart from living in a busy place and Haley. Lucas' parent, Karen and Kieth, move to San Francisco when he was 19. He wasn't leaving much behind and he though getting away and moving to a calmer place was good for him.

Haley pulled into her and Lucas' large, beautiful new home at around 2:30 pm. Their house was already furnished. So all the had was a few thing and their clothing, she got of the car and walked round to the trunk and started getting out her boxes, seconds later Lucas was there helping.


Nathan Scott heard a car pull up to the vacant house next door, he went outside and noticed a man about his age carrying boxes and suitcases into the house. Someone must have finally bought the house he thought. Then he seen a petite brunette, walk out of the house back to the car and get more boxes, his immediate thoughts of her was that she was beautiful.

Noticing they had finished unpacking, he thought it was finally time to introduce himself, he walked across is lawn and approached the two new people.

Haley noticed the tall attractive man approach her and Lucas, from the house next door.

"Hi, I'm Nathan Scott, I live next door, you must be new to this town" Nathan said politely, and put his hand out, she politely shook is. He noticed the brunette was even more beautiful closer up.

"Hi, my name's Haley James it's nice to meet you, how did you know we were new?" Haley asked.

"This town small, and if I'd seen you before I defiantly would have remembered" he said looking her up and down playfully.

Haley giggled and blushed ,"Nice" she playfully answered back. "Can't blame a guy" he shrugged. They both laughed.

The sandy haired guy interrupted the two, "Lucas Roe, Haley's best friend, good to meet you"

"You too man" they shook hands.

"So is it just the both of you living here, or are there more people?" Nathan questioned

"Just us two, we just moved here from California, what about you?" Lucas asked

"I live here with my baby sister, Rachel" Nathan answered.

Haley looked at Nathan and noticed his cobalt blue eyes staring straight back at her, she smiled showing her white teeth and was about to ask him a question when she heard a voice behind Nathan "for the last time, i'm not a baby" she playfully whined.

Nathan moved out of the way and they saw a slim girl, with long brown hair and beautiful green eye.

"But your MY baby sister" Nathan playfully argued back whilst ruffling her hair, she rolled her eyes and approached the new couple.

"I'm Rachel Scott, nice to meet you, i take it you guys are new here", she smiled happily showing her brilliant smile

"It's nice to meet you too, I'm Lucas and this is Haley and Yeah, we just moved in today" Lucas stuck his hand out and Rachel shook it happily and Haley mirrored his actions "nice too meet you" said Haley.

"That's cool. So are you guys a couple?" she asks shyly not knowing whether or not she overstepped "Rachel!" Nathan said quickly.

"No, no, no, Best friends" Haley said shaking her head, "Oh, sorry" Rachel apologized.

"It's okay, we get asked that question a lot," Haley replied kindly, there was a silence for a moment but it was broken when Rachel said "so is it just you guys?" she said to the duo.

"Yep and I hear it's just you two as well", "yeah it is" Rachel replied.

"but we always have friends over, actually were having a few of my friends over tonight, you guys are welcome to come over, you know get to know some people, I'm sure they won't mind" Nathan kindly asked.

"Ermm, sure why not, gives us a chance to get to know more people, what do you say hales?" Lucas said, and Haley replied "Sure, we'd love to, what time?"

"6:30ish"

"Sounds good" Haley answered, while staring him in the eye whilst he stared back, Lucas and Rachel Noticed this and decided to interrupt.

"Soooo, I have plans with the guys so I should get going, I've got my key and my phone but i shouldn't be out past 10" she said to Nathan and then turned back to the new people and said "it was nice meeting you, I'll see you around" she waved and started walking away when Nathan called her "Ray?" he said using her nickname since she was a child, "yeah?", "who you going out with" he asked in a stern fatherly tone, "just the usual: jack, Finn, Sam, Amy and Christie and i think Caspar's home from his holiday so he'll probably be there" she answered. He nodded and said "Okay, stay safe and here's $30 for food and you can by another record or CD or something, but dont be in any later than past 9, okay?" she huffed but agreed "thank you, i love you" she said accepting the money and left, "I love to to" he shouted she turned back and smiled.

"So I'll see you guys tonight?" Nathan asked

"Sure" they answered in unison.

"Bye" Nathan said looking more at the petite in front of him.

"Bye" they replied and with that they turned and left, while Nathan watched Haley walk away.

He suddenly couldn't wait for tonight.
