Disclaimer: I still do not own any this having to do with One Tree Hill. Except of course this story. Oh and Molly is mine as well.

Chapter 3

Nathan sighed as class ended and he got ready to head back to the apartment. He didn't have practice until 6 and this gave him a couple of hours to go back and sleep. Or so he thought.

As soon as Nathan walked in the door he knew that sleep was not going to be an option. There sat Molly at the table books spread out everywhere completely freaking out.

As soon as he closed the door her eyes shot up and he could just sense the argument about to happen.

"Oh my gosh Nathan what am I going to do? They say that you are supposed to spend 2 hours for every hour inside of class doing work. But I was sitting here when I realized that I don't have that much time." Molly breathlessly got out.

"You know Molly you never used to care this much, how come all of a sudden your like psycho college girl." Nathan laughed at her.

"OH sorry Nathan you see unlike some I actually have to study. I didn't get a full ride for some stupid sport. I have to work hard if I want to stay here. So I would appreciate it if you just shut your mouth and left me alone if you're going to be an ass." Molly yelled.

"Oh sorry that I'm not as smart as Molly, I'm sorry that I don't love to stress myself out about stupid shit. And I can't believe that you would knock me for getting a basketball scholarship especially when you know it was the only way that we could go to the same school." Nathan yelled back.

"Yeah well now I wish you hadn't gotten it. I didn't realize that I was going to have to deal with you pretending to be someone your not. I saw the way you were walking around all cocky and shit like you owned the place now. Well guess what Nathan no one cares ok no one cares about you and your stupid basketball so why don't you just leave." Molly venomously got out. However immediately regretting it.

Nathan's face fell. Did she really just say that? Did she really just basically tell him that she didn't care about him? After everything they had been through he thought that she would be the one person he could always rely on. But no he saw now that he had no one. Not even his twin….his other half as the used to say.

Molly felt her heart break at the look on his face. Stupid why would you say something like that.

"Nathan I'm so sorry I didn't mean it like that. People care about you, I care about you. You know I do. I mean after all you are my other half how could I not." Molly tried to lighten the mood.

"Oh so now you feel like you have to, well guess what Mol I don't need your pity." With that Nathan walked out. Leaving Molly to think about how her words had hurt him.

Nathan went to the gym the one place where he knew he could find peace. Or at least he hoped he would. He was shooting around for awhile when he realized that he was no longer alone. He turned to see who it was only to realize that he didn't know him. The boy walked up to him and took the ball out of his hands shooting it effortlessly into the hoop.

"The names Jake, you must be the new Scott kid right." Jakes asked.

"Ah yeah, should I know you?" Nathan asked.

"Nah but you will since we will be playing together for the next 4 years or so." Jake smiled at him.

"Yeah I guess so." Nathan replied.

The two boys shot around for awhile making idle talk. Jake told Nathan about where he was from and about his long time girlfriend Peyton. After awhile the rest of the team showed up and it was time to practice.

"Well well well if it isn't my little cousin Nate." Lucas sneered at him.

Great thought Nathan, as if this day wasn't bad enough. Now I am going to have to listen to Luke tell me how I screwed everything up. How I ruined my family. I don't know why he hates me so much it's not like I did anything to him. Well I mean I did hit on his girlfriend but that was unintentional.

"What do you want Luke." Nathan asked.

What I want Nathan is for you to leave this team. There is no way in hell I am going to let him take my spot on this team. I worked to hard for it to let this punky home wrecker ruin it for me.

"Just wanted to show you how it's done that's all." Lucas replied.

Before the boys could get into it further the coach came out and gave his usual speach. There will be no fighting with teammates. Everyone on the team has an important role…..until finally it was time to buck up and show him what you were made of.

Nathan did incredible all of his shots were going in and the way he moved was incredible. He was driven and graceful all at the same time. The coach had never seen anything like this.

Looks like Scott might just be what we've been needing the coach thought.
