This is my newest story based off of the movie The Invisible. I hope you all like it and don't worry I won't lose interest in Our Way Back. I love it to much anyways here's the first chapter, let me know what you all think

Chapter 1: Seemingly Perfect

Nathan Scott. That was a name everyone in Tree Hill knew. He was the most popular boy at Tree Hill high, along with his brother Lucas and his best friend Jake Jagelski. His other best friends were Haley James, Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer. Peyton and Jake had been dating for two years now and they were the perfect couple. Brooke and Lucas had a non-exclusive relationship. That was something Lucas planned on changing. Haley was single but that was only because she had feelings for Nathan, he just didn't know it. Nathan was dating Rachel Gatina. Haley, Brooke and Peyton hated her. She treated Nathan like a slave and expected everything from him but was never there when he actually needed her. That's one of the things Nathan loved about Haley. She was always there for him

When Nathan and Lucas were thirteen, their father Keith Scott, died from Lung Cancer. It was a really hard time for them and Haley made sure they got through it. When Nathan met Rachel in their junior year, he knew Haley didn't like her but she told him she would give her a shot. That was the great thing about Haley she was willing to give everyone a chance, even if she didn't want to.

Nathan was the captain of the basketball team and he loved every moment of playing. That was one of the things he shared with his brother and his dad, before he died. In a way it made him feel closer to his dad. It didn't suck that Haley was a cheerleader either.

Nathan was standing at his locker on Wednesday morning when he felt someone put their arms around him from behind. "Hey baby," Rachel said in her annoyingly high pitched voice. "Hey," he responded. "We going to Bevin's party tomorrow night?" she asked.

"I don't know, probably."

"Awesome. I gotta get to class-"

"Actually decided to go today?"

"Funny. If I don't see you later, I'll see you at the game tonight." She leaned up and gave him a kiss on the mouth. He didn't really kiss her back. She winked at him before walking down the hall. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. Sure, he liked Rachel, but that thing that was there when they started dating was gone. They'd been dating for little over a year and he thought it might be time for a break. All she cared about was partying and making sure she was still popular everyday. There were times when she would tell him she loved him all he could do was say 'thanks' or 'you, too.' He never said 'I love you too,' because the truth was, he didn't. He knew he shouldn't string her along anymore, it wasn't fair. Not to him or her. Not to mention the girl he really had feelings for, the girl he really did love.

Nathan was brought out of his thoughts by Lucas. "Nate, man come on we gotta get to class." Nathan grabbed his book and his notebook from his locker and slammed it shut. They walked down the hall to their Creative Writing class. That was another thing people didn't know about him. He loved to write. The only person who actually knew that was Jake. He knew people only saw him as Nathan Scott, captain of the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team, or Nathan Scott, most popular guy at Tree Hill High. There were times when he wanted people to see him as more that just that.

They walked into class and took their usual seats. Haley was sitting at a table with Brooke, they were both laughing about something their friend 'Skills' had just said. Peyton sat at a table with Jake, his arm was around her shoulders, as usual. Nathan and Lucas sat a table in front of Brooke and Haley. Nathan nodded to Skills and his and Lucas's friend Mouth. People thought it was strange that Nathan Scott was friends with someone like Mouth McFadden. They had been friends since they were nine. They met at a court down by the river. Mouth wasn't good at sports but he liked sports. He announced the basketball games at school and even the River Court.

Nathan turned around to talk to Brooke and Haley. They both smiled at him then Haley rolled her eyes. "What?" he asked. She leaned forward and wiped lip gloss from his mouth with her thumb. "I didn't know this was your shade Nate," she said and laughed. He shook his head, "yeah, laugh it up Hales, Rachel-"

"Kissed you and left her mark yeah I know." Brooke rolled her eyes and said, "gross, Nate when are you going to break up with her?"

"Soon I think."

"Serious?"

"Yes Brooke, serious," he mocked, "I just don't have the same feelings for her that I used to. I think I may have fallen for someone else." Haley felt her heart sink. 'Of course he's gonna break up with Rachel and move on to the next skank. Great,' she thought. "Ooh, who?" Brooke asked.

"You'll find out eventually."

"No fair! You know I love gossip! Why can't you just tell me?"

"Sorry B. Davis, you'll just have to wait and find out."

"You suck N. Scott." They finished their conversation when their teacher Miss Hamm walked in. "Ok," she said, "lets get started shall we? Who wants to read their poems that were assigned. How about you Mr. Smith?"

Tim stood up and read his poem. It was about some 'hot babe,' he told the class after he finished reading it. The guys laughed and shook their heads and the girls just rolled their eyes. "Considering it's Tim, I'm not even surprised," Brooke whispered to Haley.

The class was almost over and there was time for one more person to read their poem. Miss Hamm walked past Nathan and put her hand on his shoulder, "how about you Mr. Scott?"

"Um, it's not quite finished yet."

"Never is, let's just hear what you've got so far." Nathan stood up from his seat and went to the front of the room. He sat on Miss Hamm's desk like all the students who had to read in front of the class did. He cleared his throat and opened his notebook. "Day burns down to night, burns the edge of my soul. In the night I break into sparks of suns and become fires in a dust of bones. Night knifes my breath swallows whole my tongue. Turn back reverse return. In the night I see the real concealed in the day's bright lie. Eyes stitched shut white teeth smile sleep walks and talks and feet mark time of day-" he was interrupted by the bell ringing signaling the end of class. The students in the room hurriedly put their things away and exited the classroom. He hoped off the desk and went to gather his things. Most of the students had already left. Haley and Brooke were walking past him, Haley stopped and Brooke kept walking to catch up with Lucas.

"I really liked your poem Nate, I didn't know you could write like that."

"It's nothing really."

"Well I liked it."

"Thanks, so I'll see you at lunch right?"

"Of course," she walked out the door and turned back to him, "really Nathan, it's really great."

Haley walked out into the hall and Damian West and his group of friends saw her. Damian walked over to her and put his arms around her shoulders, "when are you gonna let me take you out?"

"Huh, let me think about how about Never or a couple days after I stab out my eyes, either of those work out great for me."

"Oh come on you know you want me."

"Hardly! Get off of me," she said and pushed his arm off of her and continued down the hall.

Damian West was a bad guy. He hardly ever came to school and if he did it was only to shop around stolen merchandise. It was a wonder he hadn't been arrested yet. He stole cell phones and iPods then sold them to all of the kids at the school. He'd been interested in Haley for a while, but she obviously wasn't interested. Damian walked back over to his friends and one of them, Felix, spoke up, "what are we doing tonight Damian?"

"Don't know yet but we'll think of something. Oh and that Mouth kid still owes me money for that cell phone. When you find him let me know, we'll meet in the usual spot and hopefully for him he'll have my money."

The day went by fast for Nathan as usual. Classes were boring and he wasn't really paying attention. His mind was on the game that night. He was in his science class and he finally snapped out of his thoughts about basketball. He looked at the seat next to him, Mouth was supposed to sit by him but he wasn't there. It wasn't like Mouth to just skip out on classes.

Mouth had been walking down the hall when someone grabbed him and pulled him into the guy's bathroom. Felix and a couple other guys threw him against the wall, "you got Damian's money?"

"I'll get it, I swear!"

"Isn't that what you said last time?"

"I swear I'll get it!" Damian pulled out a pocket knife and walked over to them. "Look Mouth," he said, "we don't want to hurt you but we have no problem doing it. When you buy something from me, I expect to get paid for it. Does that make sense to you?"

"Yes."

"So do you have my money?"

"No, I swear I'll get it to you!" Damian held down Mouth's hand and brought the knife down gave him a slight cut under his nail. Mouth yelled in pain. "Calm down," Damian said, "it's just a scratch. It'll be worse if the next time I see you, you don't have my money."

During lunch Nathan sat at his usual table with his brother and his friends. Mouth and Skills walked over and sat with them. Nathan looked up at Mouth and said, "where were you during science?" Mouth looked up at Damian who was watching him. Nathan turned around and saw them. "Mouth tell me you didn't buy something from him," Haley said. "Look I needed a cell phone, alright." Nathan sighed, "then go buy one at RadioShack."

"A little to late for that."

"God Mouth."

"I know, I'm stupid."

"A little bit, yeah."

"How much do you owe him?"

"300."

"300?"

"It was an iPhone." Nathan reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet and retrieved 300 dollars and set it down in front of Mouth. "Here, I just bought you an iPhone." Mouth shook his head and pushed the money back at him, "no Nathan. I can't except that."

"Just take it Mouth."

"But-"

"Mouth."

"Thanks Nate, really."

That night Damian, Felix and their friends went out joy riding. They found a Mercedes and hotwired it. Felix was about to drive away when he noticed Damian wasn't in the car. He was looking at a jewelry store that had diamond rings and necklaces in the window. He knew he could get a lot of money for it. "Come on Damian," Felix said, "there's still people there that's why they're still in the window just come on!" Damian grabbed a crowbar off the hood of the car and walked up to the window of the store and smashed it. An alarm sounded and he grabbed as much as he could from the window and ran back to the car. He got in the passenger side and Felix sped away from the scene.

"You must be the biggest idiot I've ever met but, damn, we're gonna get a lot for these!" They drove into an alley and Felix turned the lights off and two police cars sped past the alley without even noticing them sitting there. "What are you gonna do with those?"

"I don't know, just let me deal with it."

Nathan made the final shot at the game and won it for the Ravens. The crowd cheered and there were smiles the faces of his teammates. Haley ran out on to the court and hugged him. "Awesome job!"

"Thanks it helps when I've got me best friend cheering for me."

"You've got three of them cheering for you Hot-shot," Brooke said walking over to them. She hugged him also and so did Peyton. "You really did great Nate," Peyton said. "Thanks!" She smiled then went to go see Jake. Haley hugged him one last time then went to find Lucas, she turned around and yelled, "you rock! Don't let it go to your head!" He smiled then turned back to Brooke who was giving him a knowing smirk. "What? What's the look?"

"When are you gonna tell her how you feel?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You so do and you are a terrible liar. You totally have a thing Haley."

"I don't have a thing!"

"Don't lie to me Nathan Royal Scott."

"Geez what are you middle naming me for?"

"Not being honest. Please just tell her how you feel and don't say you don't know what I'm talking about because we both know you do. Enjoy the rest of your night hotshot, and break up with your girlfriend so you can be with Haley. Speaking of the skeez she's coming at ya." Brooke smiled then walked away. Rachel walked over to him and kissed him on the mouth, "great job babe, you looked hot out there."

"Thanks."

"You ok?"

"Yeah, just thinking about something Brooke said to me."

"What she say?" she asked a little worried.

"Nothing never mind. Um I gotta go but we need to talk so, tomorrow at Bevin's party, can we talk?"

"Yeah sure of course, I'll see you later, love you."

"Thanks Rach."

"Uh, you're welcome, I guess." He walked away from her and left her in the gym. There was something going on with him and she wished she knew what it was.
