"It is all your fault! You stupid idiot! You just need to ruin all our lives! Sophia and I could have been happy! But you just had to get in the way and hurt Chelsea in the process! And now I am off the team because of your stupid games!" When Kyle is finished with his little rant he takes aim and shoots one perfect hoop and leaves again.
Jamie stays behind and tries to make a basket but he can't. At his last try the ball bounces off the rim and falls in the River.
Over the next week Dan tries to contact Jamie multiple times but every call goes unanswered and are never returned. If he had to guess his voicemails were deleted without even having been listened too. Dan understands Jamie's reaction all too good. His sons both had about the same reaction. Through the little contact he has with Nathan he also knows that his grandson now not rarely but never mentions him. So he decides to give James time to come to terms with the situation and waits for his grandson to contact him again.
Jamie's week hadn't been all that great too. He couldn't make a basket to save his life right now and so it wasn't all bad that he was off the team and so he concentrated, or at least tried to, on school and his academic work in general. During brakes and free periods he made a point of staying inside and in the library so he wouldn't see Kyle and Sophia together. Little did he know that it wasn't really working all that well between these two.
After the party at TRIC Sophia and Kyle had put the brakes on their budding romance but they wanted to try and go out. Their dates were more awkward then nice. They were both trying too hard and it wasn't working at all.
Yesterday at the movies had been especially bad. Everytime Kyle tried to put his arm around Sophias shoulders she shook him off and all but shoved him away. After the movie Kyle told her "I can't do this. I can't compete with an idea." And just walks away.
The girl was so perplex she couldn't even manage one word to stop him. The next morning Sophia tries calling Kyle to talk but only gets his voicemail and when she tries to visit him at home his parents tell her he doesn't want to see her.
So Sophia wanders around town aimlessly sunken in her thoughts. She knows who she blames for her troubles with Kyle. After a while she arrived at the river court and sits down on the bleachers to wallow.
"If Jamie hadn't hit Kyle all this awkwardness could've been avoided!" were her predominant thoughts. She daydreamed of her could've-been-relationship when she was harshly interrupted by the sound of a basketball hoping of the rim. Her head shot up and she just started to shout:
"Why did you hit Kyle! You had no right! You still have no right to be angry! You chose Chelsea!" "I don't know why I hit Kyle! I am not with Chelsea anymore! And what the hell can I do more? I left you alone!" When they are finished screaming the two teens are face to face and the Scott boy can only think about one thing to do; He kisses the out of breath girl in front of him.
For a little moment time stops around the teens and Sophia enjoys the kiss but soon she realizes that this is wrong and runs of, leaving Jamie alone in his confusion.
After the kiss Jamie goes back home. He needs someone to talk to and luckily for him his uncle arrived in town yesterday.
Lucas had reacted to Nate's phone call as quickly as he could, but with his new book he couldn't leave New York every time there was trouble in Tree Hill.
The whole situation run down reminded the older blond Scott a lot of his and his brother's teen years. He just hoped talking to his nephew would have a positive effect on the situation and maybe spare the teen bigger problems. And so he was sitting in his brothers living room waiting for Jamie to come back home.
