'What the hell was I thinking?' Nathan thought.
Nathan stood up shaking his head in regret when the door opened.
Nathan turned toward the door and looked directly at the person in front of him.
"You wouldn't happen to know where my son is would you?" asked Dan
Nathan pointed towards the gym and continued to stare at his 'alleged' father, the father who abandoned him and his mother, destroyed his mother's life and ruined his childhood.
"Thanks" Dan said before wandering off.
Nathan slammed his locker closed and walked out the doors after him.

Nathan continues walking until he reached the gym. He pushed open the double doors and walked up to Whitey.
"I'm here so where do you want me?" he asked loudly.
"Shooting guard- you'll be the shooting guard."
"Hey Whitey" Lucas screamed "that's my position"
"Look Whitey I don't know where you get off, giving away my son's position but…" Dan was cut off by Whitey's shouting.
"Lookee here Danny boy, I don't know what the hell you're doing in my gym but think of it this way, since you fathered both of them one son's loss is the others gain. Got it."
Dan nodded and looked at Nathan with a burning fury in his eyes.
"Good, now get the hell out of my gym."

Later on during practice…
Whitey turned around and looked at the tired, sweaty (in some cases smelly) players around him and smiled. Not a nice kind of smile, not even a warm hearted smile but a cruel smile.
"I want 20 more suicides of each of you, and then you can go."
As the boys began running he smiled at one of them as he slowed down.
"Except you Jagelski, you can go"
"Thanks coach" Jake shouted over his shoulder as he ran towards the boys locker room.

After practice…
Nathan walked into his room and fell onto the bed, the chair span around slowly and Haley smiled at his exhausted form.
"Hey Hales" he stated without even looking at her.
"How the hell?" Haley began walking over to him. She sat on the bed next to him and hit in the stomach, as an instant reflex, Nathan sprung up and began tickling her.
"Do you give up?" he asked over her shrieking laughter.
"Yes Yes Yes" she stated in between laughs.
Nathan eased up and walked over to his desk in interest.
"And why are you looking at me emails."
"They're funny, see that 2nd one "
"Yeah they're funny alright but why are you looking at them you sent them to me."
He turned and looked at her in wonder.
"Come on lets go get something to eat." He suggested
Nathan began walking over to the door and Haley followed closing the door behind her.

Scott house…
"You need to find his weakness and exploit it. Lucas he took your space at High Flyers, your position on the team and now he'll take the team." Dan said to his son who is sitting opposite at the breakfast table in the kitchen. "You'll have nothing left, not even your pride."
"Kinda like you, huh dad." Lucas stated without a care.
"Son I'm trying to help you here…"
"Don't bother I already have a plan which will destroy him so bad that that he'll be a forgotten person by those he cares about most." Lucas walked away as his father poured himself another drink. "So that's right you just climb back into another bottle" Lucas called from the other room.
