This is my first shot at a story, tell me what you think!

"Man look at those foxy ladies strutting their stuff just calling the Timster with those hella hot apple bottoms."

"Just say they're hot Tim, and once again....your white!" Man his best friend could be an idiot sometimes, and a complete pervert as well. Nathan watched the Laker girls dance halfheartedly interested, only one of them had ever caught his real interest, and she wouldn't give him the time of day. The fiesty girl with the radiating smile in the front row. He had been hooked on her since the day he met her 2 two years ago when he was first traded to the Lakers. He hadn't always been this way, he use to be a player through and through, partying, girls, alcohol, oh and did he mention girls. There were a lot of those, girls that is, blondes, brunettes, red heads, Nathan use to do them all....literally. He was never one with good publicity, but for the past 2 seasons with the Knicks before being traded, he had taken his team to the championship, so what if he partied harder than the rest of them, he still showed up for work, and portrayed the perfect captain on the court. The Knicks' owners just weren't in the mood for his crap anymore. So they traded him, and Kobe and the Lakers gladly took him, without a second thought. Life was good for Nathan Scott, New York to LA, he was living the dream. But they changed quickly, he thought to himself, she was everything he could dream of in a girl, smart, funny, gorgeous, great body, and a smile that left him weak in the knees. Haley James.

"Scott you gonna do what your paid millions to do or are you gonna sit their and stare off into space like a dumbass for the rest of the game." His coach yelled, bringing him back to reality, realizing the girls were gone, and coach was talking plays.

"Come on coach, we both know I'm still better than half that team even in a halfass state." Nathan smirked, man I'm so fucked, coach is gonna rip me a new one with that dipshit comment.

"I'm gonna let that one pass Scott, because I know your pathetically obsessed with a girl who hasn't been interested in the last 2 years." A choir of oohh's rang out, god he hated his coach some days. Lucas groaned.

"Great now he's gonna play like shit the rest of the game, why did you have to bring her up." And it was true, the rest of the game Nathan couldn't get his mind over the fact that Haley still didn't want him, he'd given up a lot when she said she couldn't date him because of his reputation. He stopped partying, hooking up, drinking every night. Hell he hadn't had a one night stand in over a year, hell he hadn't gotten laid in the last 6 months. All because she wanted some well-mannered good boy. And yet here he was still alone, and her dating some douchebag named Mike, god my life sucks.

"Nate get off the court, your done for tonight." Coach yelled at him. Without a word to anyone, Nathan picked up his track jacket and left for the locker room. Nathan was stopped short when heard yelling down the hall.

"Mike stop calling me, I told you we were done.....how can you say you love me?!...you cheated on me you stupid prick....what the fuck does Nathan have to do with anything?!?....your the cheater, don't put this on me.....you know what FUCK YOU, this conversation is over!" What the hell, Nathan thought, why is she talking about me, what do I have to do with any of that? Wait...they broke up! A smile broke out on Nathan's face, that relationship lasted far too long. Still doesn't explain why she's talking about me.

"Did you hear all of that?" Haley questioned, snapping him out of his thoughts. Nathan turned and came face to face with the girl of his dreams.

"Um yeah, I didn't mean to be eavesdropping, I got kicked out of the game, and was coming back to the locker room."

"Its fine, can't help the fact that the last three of my boyfriends have been cheating bastards."

" Wait, you got kicked out of the game?What for? Did you get into another fight Nathan?" She asked worried, oh no what if he got hurt or he got fined for something, or suspended.

"I jut wasn't playing up to par. Those guys don't deserve you if they can't see what a great girl you are. It's their loss."

"Thanks Nate." She responded meekly to the adoration she saw in his eyes.

"No thanks needed, just being honest it sucks to see you hurting Hales."

"That's sweet Nathan, well I gotta get back out there. I'll see you later. Oh and it sucks that you got kicked out of the game." With a small smile, one that left Nathan's heart racing, she walked through the tunnel and back onto the court.
