For those who have already read the first chapter I decided to re-write it after I wrote it in a flashback mode I really couldn't think of what to write. So I decided if this story does well then I will do the flashback as a sequel type thing. Anyways hope you stay with me on this and enjoy.

Whitey's pov.

It was the first day of summer, the day I wait for after a whole year of teaching the basketball at my school. I love seeing the guys try out. Some think they are the hot shots when most of the time they have been hyped up by their fathers to acheive more and play less of a team and more of an individual. Others are the ones who think they aren't good enough and some wonder why they are even at the camp to begin with, but these guys are the guys who I love coaching through the summer. They listen and take your advice and try harder than any other player on the court, they wear their hearts on their sleeves and always seem to be the ones who succeed. Today was no different than any other day I am sitting in my office watching the guys coming through the gym doors, some in groups, some on their own trying to read their expressions. Many have a look of determination that they are going to make the team and play in the tournament others have a look of fright wondering if they will fit in or be an outcast. Then we have the cheerleaders, I just think they're a distraction to the team and I don't know why they have to meet in the same gym as the players. But coach Taylor, she always has something to say about it. Like they're just as important as the players as the have the classic to train for. I guess in a way you could say that the classic and the championship could mean the same thing. It still matters the same as any other thing in the world. Me I haven't won a championship yet and this year is my last to prove I was, am a good coach and that I have changed peoples lives and that I did mean something to the boys. Staring at all the team photos I have had taken over the years, all the different jerseys that were worn, all the different faces I have coached, wondering if I ever touched their hearts, if I ever changed their lives. I wonder what they are all doing now if they ever remember me, I mean some went on to become great baketball stars I wonder if they ever look back to the summer or summers they spent here or if they just think that it was another stepping stone in their lives to get to the top and just forget about all the little people who helped and only think about the fame and fortune they are gaining. Whitey looked back out from his office to see Nathan and Lucas Scott making their way into the gym. The Scott brothers. I have heard alot about them, hopefully they can help bring home a championship.

Nathan and Lucas Scott are twin brothers with Lucas been the eldest by 3 minutes. Lucas is the sandy haired brother and Nathan the raven haired brother. They are complete oppersites and only have one thing in common. Basketball. Nathan is the more out going, while Lucas would happily skip a party. As they nade their way through the gym doors with their bags in tow they walked past the office and noticed that someone was sitting their. "Hey Lucas I think thats our coach."

"Yeah he's called Coach Durham, but everyone calls him Whitey. Well so I'm told. He's been coaching 35 years and never won a major trophy yet he's one of the greatest coach's around."

"How do know all this?"

"Internet little brother."

"Well that's a good point." They both laughed, before Nathan spoke up again. "I'm going to go and talk to some people, you know introduce myself." He nodded in the direction of the cheerleaders.

"As always Nate hitting on the cheerleaders."

"Well its what they want, otherwise they wouldn't be cheerleaders now would they?"

"Whatever you say." Lucas then headed off in a different direction to Nathan. He saw a dark haired boy sitting on his own and decided to go and talk to him. "Hi."

The boy looked up from what his was reading to look at Lucas. "Hi, you lost?"

"No why?"

"Well normally people just ignore me."

"Well I'm not. Names Lucas Scott." He extended his arm. "Jake Jagielski." He shook Lucas' hand.

"So if you don't mind me asking why do people ignore you?"

"Because at my school I'm the loner nobody really cares. I just play ball and get on with it."

"Well are you good at it?"

"Yes."

"Well thats all that matters then isn't it."

Haley was sat on her own in the corner by a group of cheerleaders looking pretty pissed off by them. She looked up again when she heard them all laughing and a dark haired girl looking confused as to why they were laughing. She got up and pulled the girl away.

"What the?" The girl asked as she realised she was being pulled away.

"Don't worry about it. That just happened to me."

"What? Eh? Why?"

"They are the older group, they don't accept anyone in as they think it will ruin the bond they have or something like that I don't really know." Haley then walked back over to the spot she had just come from.

The girl just stood there wondering what had just happened and who this light haired girl is. Shes sat reading a book, on her own and doesn't even look like a cheerleader. What is she doing her? The girl walked over to Haley, who just looked up. "Brooke Davis. You don't mind if I sit with you do you?"

Haley moved her bag out of the way to make room for her to sit down. "Haley James."

"What?" Brooke wasn't paying much attention.

"The names Haley James. And yes I know what your thinking, what is a girl like me doing here well, I love cheering but still love my academics so if cheerleading doesn't work out I still have grades to fall back on."

"Oh well thank you for that information. Brooke Davis cheerleader by day, fashion designer by night. Just like you I want to have something to fall back on."

As they continued to talk they were interupted by a curly blonde hair girl. "You don't mind if I join you? They told me that you two will accept me whatever thats means."

"Let me guess you introduced yourself and they laughed." Said Brooke.

"Yes how did you know?"

"Because it happened to us. Brooke Davis and this is Haley James." Brooke motioned to Haley who was still reading.

"Peyton Sawyer." She sat down next to Brooke before speaking again. "Let me guess, cheerleader by day tutor by night and cheerleader by day and well night aswell."

Haley looked up at the blonde and wondered how she could know that about her. Brooke laughed and spoke "Well about Haley yes correct about me no, cheerleader by day fashion designer by night."

Before Brooke could continue Haley interupted, "How do you know that?"

"By a guess. Your reading John Steinbeck and your a cheerleader it just figures."

Haley laughed at her response. "Yeah I guess it does figure. So what about you cheerleader by day what by night?"

"Artist. I want to draw something that means something to someone but I haven't found it yet."

As the three girls continued to talk they were interupted by a tall dark haired boy walking their way.

"He's hot." Said Brooke.

"Hi girls, Nathan Scott and you are?"

"Brooke Davis." He shook her hand.

"Peyton Sawyer." He did the same with Peyton before turning to Haley.

"Not interested." Nathan had his hand in the air which he let drop after Haley didn't introduce herself.

"Well nice to meet you Brooke, Peyton, and not interested." They all laughed except Haley who just went back to her book.
--

"Hey why don't you come and meet my brother." Said Lucas as he and Jake were talking. Jake nodded his head as they made there way over to Nathan who was still talking to Brooke and Peyton.

"Hey Nate!" Nathan turned around and smiled at his brother. "Nate this Jake. Jake my brother Nathan." They shook hands before Nathan introduced them to the three girls. "Lucas, Jake this is Brooke" He motioned towards Brooke who gave them both a smile. "This is Peyton" Peyton smiled at them, "And this is not interested." Nathan gave Haley a smirk as she looked at him disgusted.

"Lucas is so hot." Whispered Brooke to Peyton.

"I know but Jake is way hotter." Peyton whispered back.

Lucas noticed Haley reading and walked over. "Hi, I'm taking a guess that your name isn't 'not interested' I'm Lucas and you are?"

"Not interested."

Lucas laughed at Haley which made her raise her eyebrows. "Trust me I'm not hitting on you, I just thought I would come over and say hi to a cheerleader who reads John Steinbeck." Lucas said with a smile.

This caused Haley to laugh aswell. "Haley...Haley James."

"Well it's nice to meet you Haley James."

Before they could continue a loud voice was heard over the rest of them. "Hush, settle down. I'm coach Durham but you can call me Whitey or just coach and this lovely lady to my left is coach Taylor and we will be your coaches for the summer. Right now listen up I want boys to the right of the gym and girls to the left and then we will begin from there!"

After Whitey had finished everyone began to walk to the side they were meant to be. "I guess I'll catch up with you later then." Smiled Lucas before he walked away. Haley just smiled in return and headed to the left of the gym with Brooke and Peyton. Well this will be an interesting summer. Thought Haley.
