OMGZZ:D
"Welcome to your first day back at Tree Hill High."
It was true. It was her first day back at THHS but Trinity wasn't paying any attention at the assembly. A lot of things were swirling around in her mind. After spending a night in a cheap hotel in Raleigh and driving home the next morning quite early, she was really tired of thinking. But all those thoughts were just there. Lucas was mainly on her mind, she hoped he was going to be okay. She knew he was going to survive, but what if it happened again? Which lead her to think about her own heart. What if the same thing happened to her, that happened to Lucas? That's something that really scared her too.
"Please find your name on one of the lists in the back and head to your homeroom. We all hope to have another great year at Tree Hill High School!" Trinity slowly made her way to the back of the room, checked her name and sighed. 'Physical Education' was her homeroom. Great. She knew she would never been in the mood to have to do physical activity every morning and then having to head off to World History.
She knew she could easily pass the course, but she still wasn't looking forward to being in the gym every morning for the entire term. She walked through the gym doors and took a seat on the bleachers where other people from her class were situated. Right, and at this age, her gym class was all girls. What a great school system.
Her teacher then appeared through the doors, carrying some sheets of paper. Someone was behind him, someone who looked framilar to her. Jake?
"Welcome to Physical Education," droned her teacher, "Call me Mr.Sire or Coach or whatever you wanna call me, it's up to you. And this may seem a bit strange for the begining of the year, but we have a student teacher already, Mr.Jagelski. Some of you might be keen enough to remember Jagelski here playing for the Tree Hill Ravens for the past four years and over the summer he had been studying Teaching at the college and jumped ahead in his studies, landing him here.. now." Trinity threw Jake a look which read What The Hell? while he just smirked back at her in a mischevious sort of way.
After an entire period of lectures and school rules that were drilled into your head every year, the class was over and it was a free day.
"Jake!" Trinity called out to him, as he stopped, turned around and waited for her to run down the bleachers.
"Oh, Trinity, I didn't see you there," he joked as they started walking, "11th grade huh? I remember when you were merely 13.."
She gave him a look then continued, "Why the hell didn't you tell me you were.. gonna be student teaching here?"
"I really didn't know where I would end up, funny it's your gym class though," She rolled her eyes at him and laughed.
"How's Lucas doing?" He asked her, wondering about his friend. Trinity blinked for a second. Her mind had completely stopped thinking about everything with Lucas. She sighed as she thought about him lying on that hospital bed.
"He's uh.. doing fine I guess, doctor said he would live," she said kind of harshly.
"Oh sorry to bring it up," Jake replied to her, not meaning for her to react that way.
"No, it's not your fault or anything. It's just I have this feeling that Lucas is gonna continue with basketball after this. I know he loves the damn sport, but really! He nearly died, I just hate thinking about it." She blinked back tears. Jake put a friendly, supportive arm over her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Lucas is a smart guy. He'll do the right thing."
"I hope so."
"So you have a ride home?" he asked her, moving his arm off of her shoulder as he began putting all his papers together.
"I think my dear brother Nathan is going to pick me up, we'll just have to wait and-"
"Speaking of.." Jake motioned toward the door of the gym where Nathan was standing talking to someone. Probably some teacher or student he knew.
"Looks like there was only ONE Scott at Tree Hill High for what? An hour?" she walked up to her brother, "You realize you could have waited outside."
"And miss out on seeing Jagelski again? 'Course not," Jake and Nathan engaged in one of those guy-shoulder-hug things and were both smiling.
"Hey, you gotta go somewhere in life, you know," Jake said, as they started to walk down the hallway.
"Yeah yeah, who knew life would have you come right back to the place you always wanted to leave.." Nathan rambled on as they broke into a conversation of old times and memories. Trinity sighed and walked a bit down the hallway, finding her locker that she was assigned. Right near the gym, hardly a coincidence. She opened her locker and reached into her bag, merely putting up a mirror. She shrugged, tossed in her binders and slammed it shut.
She walked back down the hallway, zipping up her sweatshirt and she stopped to where her and Jake had ended up. In front of the trophy case, what are the chances.
"I hate to break this little nostalgic moment up, but I think we should get going Nath." she pointed out, glancing at his watch. It was only about noon.
He gave her a confused look/
She shook her head, "Trinity, which is me, wants to have some lunch, so she won't end up malnournished and have her brother to blame for it," Jake laughed a bit at this but spoke, "Haley's working at the cafe now, cause Karen's in Raleigh right?" Nathan nodded.
"I was gonna go have lunch there, you guys should come too then," Of course Nathan wouldn't turn down seeing his wife, so he gladly nodded.
"Fine, let's go then,"
Karen rose from her seat beside her son's bed as the doctor walked in. She was still greatly worried about Lucas, although the doctor's said he would be fine. That wasn't the point. She was worried he would do the wrong thing after he left the hospital, he would continue with basketball and not be careful about it.
"Miss Roe, I am very pleased to inform you that Lucas here is stable now, and he should wake up soon. There is just one thing I need to talk to you about."
"OH thank god," she said relieved,"Uhm, what is it?"
"I know this could end up being hard on your son in the end, but he can't be playing anymore college basketball. It's not good for his heart anymore, at all. It never was in the first place. One more episode like this, and it could be fatal."
"So he can't play anymore basketball?" she exclaimed, sinking back into her chair, "That is his life."
"No, he can play the occasional game, but no more at the college level. His heart won't be able to break it to him. I'll be by when he comes around to discuss it more."
"Okay, but I'd like to tell him about it first, if that's okay." The doctor nodded as he left the room, while Karen rested her head in her hands."Oh Lucas.."
