Under mysterious circumstances, Haley James is uprooted from California and sent to boarding school in Tree Hill, North Carolina for a more normal life. However, her arrival is anything but normal for Nathan Scott, the school's most charming junior. Much to Haley's bewilderment and Nathan's intrigue, fate keeps pushing the two together. And you can't fight fate, right? It seems you can, as ten years later, Haley shows up alone to their high school reunion with no Nathan, no friends, and a lot of regret. As Nathan navigates seeing Haley for the first time in years, the two must reconcile what happened in the past and figure out if they have a future. This story is a slow-burn with really fantastic character development and callbacks. It is One Tree Hill fan fiction set at a prep school through Chapter 16, and flashes forward to their ten-year high school reunion at Chapter 17. This is a Naley love story full of ensemble friendships with Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, and Jake. Note: The first sixteen chapters were written in 2006-2007 when I was in high school and One Tree Hill was airing. The story was left unfinished and in 2020 while rewatching the series, I decided to revisit writing it. Please know the writing and punctuation get better! This project is still publishing new chapters. Please follow and leave feedback!
