Epiphany: A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization.

It was a bright and breezy afternoon in Tree Hill North Carolina where Lucas Scott co captain of the Tree Hill Ravens varsity bastball team practiced his jump shots in River Court park. Haley James Scott the high school senior's sister in law and newly recrowned confidant sat on the sidelines at a picnic table half studying the book report that lie in front of her and half studying him. Wearing her blonde streaked auburn tresses in a high ponytail and an outfitt that consisted of khaki bermuda shorts with a fitted white halter shirt Haley looked like anything but the academic she truly was. The hazel eyed beauty fidgeted frustratedly moving her feet in and out of her white sandals as she tried to concentrate.

Haley desparately needed to overcome writer's block if she wanted to complete this paper ,watching Lucas wasn't helping her cause so she began giving the assignment her undivided attention. Soon Haley was so emersed in her literary masterpiece that she became unaware of anything else around her. This is when Lucas approached and rested his chin on her shoulder her startling her. Peering down at her paper "Hey this is pretty good"he said after reading a few lines.

"Thanx" Haley replied nervously as his proximity began to overwhelm her. "Uh Eww your like totally sweating on me" she said wiping her shoulder and trying to push him away. Lucas responded by wrapping his arms around her and rubbing his face against hers making her shriek in surprise. Effectively dodging her attempt to hit him Lucas began to run as Haley gave chase. The athletic blonde beat her at every turn there was no way for her to get near him. "This is fun keep this up a little longer it's helping my defense"Lucas teased. "I give up" Haley said raising her hands in surennder. "You're no fun it was way to easy" Lucas said with a fake scowl. "I'm sorry to disappoint you mr. competitive but I gotta go my shift at the cafe starts soon and if I'm late your mom will kill me" she reasoned. She walked back toward the bench with Lucas following closely behind.

Once they reached she retrieved her books she turned around,quickly tapped his face and ran. The thing was she wasn't as fast as him and Lucas caught up speedily grabbing her by the waist . Haley's books flew out of her hands and on to the court. Turning her round to face him he held her close against him binding her hands behind her with his own. She struggled against him trying to break free managaing only to amuse him in the process. "You caught me off guard I'll give you that but you're not quick enough" Lucas said arching a brow. Staring into the deep blue pools of eyes Haley could barely breathe let alone pay attention.
So when he swayed from one side to the other only then did she realize that he'd lifted her so high her feet were dangling.

"Luke I really have to go" she explained hoarsely after an awkward silence. "Oh yeah" He said loosening his grip and letting her slide down his body and safely to the ground. He knelt down to gather her books before placing them in her arms "Good game Hales we should play again" Lucas said with a smirk and breaking the weird aura that she felt between them. All she could do was nod in response as she slowly turned and headed toward the cafe not sure of anything that she felt or where it left her.
