[edit] Biography
Haley James is the youngest daughter of Jimmy and Lydia James. She has grown up along with her best friend Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) in Tree Hill, a small North Carolina town, and works as a waitress in Karen’s Café. She attends Tree Hill High School, and is known for her cautious and studious ways.
[edit] Season one
Lucas’ half brother Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) – a rich bad boy, and the star player of the Ravens basketball team – asks Haley to tutor him, which was secretly a plot to make Lucas jealous as she was Lucas's best friend. She agrees to it to make life easier for Lucas, who was being hazed by the team (because Nathan was the captain and told them to). But to Haley and Nathan's surprise they become closer and eventually fall in love with each other. Nathan has a drastic affect on Haley, she was always smart but unpopular, but now because she is dating the star player of the team she becomes popular, and her appearance changes, much to Lucas's dissaproval, as he still doesn't trust Nathan. But even she manages to help Nathan and Lucas's relationship, they become more civil towards each other, and at the end of the season they call themselves brothers. In the season one finale, during the middle of her junior year, Haley shocked viewers, when revealing that she and Nathan had got married.
[edit] Season Two
As their marriage continues, Haley and Nathan seem to encounter more and more hardships as a young couple, realising that their marriage might hinder their dreams, Nathan's dream being Basketball, and Haley's being her music. Also with the arrival of Chris Keller who Haley has a musical connection with, the problems in the marriage are escalated, especially because Nathan doesn't trust Chris. Haley however is offered a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to go on tour with Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton), The Wreckers (Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp) and Gavin DeGraw, she reluctantly accepts unlike Nathan who had refused his dream of attending High Flyers, an elite basketball camp just to be with his wife. This sends Nathan on a downward spiral, but Haley fulfills her dreams by building a music career and by performing her songs in front of huge crowds. Near the end of Season 2, she receives a petition for annulment for the marriage from Dan Scott. In one of the final scenes of the (second season) finale, she shows up at the Scott residence doorstep. Her intentions aren't made clear until the third season premiere.
[edit] Season Three
At the outset of season 3, Nathan and Haley's marriage was fraying badly. Nathan's anger and inability to trust Haley leads him to strongly consider divorce to end their marriage (but the state required a period of separation, by which circumstances improved). Haley moves in her former apartment with Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) and becomes a cheerleader. Though one relationship was going wrong, Haley was able to reconnect with Lucas. As they are able to re-establish their foundation as best friends, Haley and Lucas begin their senior year the same way they had began their junior year, but also with a twist as Haley knows about Lucas's HCM, and wants him to stop playing basketball. Later on after a slow process Haley and Nathan begin to re-establish their relationship as a married couple once again. Having many things yet to discuss, and many obstacles yet to overcome both Haley and Nathan need to reunite as a fan favorite. At the middle of the third season a school shooting changed their lives dramatically. They were in the same room as Jimmy Edwards, and they realised how they needed each other, especially after the death of Keith Scott. So Haley and Nathan decided to renew their marriage in front of their loved ones. The wedding took place in the season three finale, and a shocking cliffhanger takes place where Haley might be pregnant and Nathan's fate is unknown. The episode ends with Haley's desperate and touching call for help.
