Sorry for the delay.
Chapter 7: Lucas's POV
I waited paitently outside Haley's house later that night. I was rather excited that we were together. My mom had nearing had a stroke when I told her, she was so excited. She wasn't the only one though, I could still feel Haley's kiss and I got antsy just thinking about it. I was so happy that I was with Haley right now that I could burst.
I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel in time to the beat of the music, humming softly under my breath. I was actually very self amused. I didn't need anyone to entertian me, I could entertian myself in just about any situation, so paitence is one of my strong points.
I looked up, as Haley jumped in the passenger seat of the truck. Her aburn hair was brushed back into a simple ponytail, keeping it off her, little or no make-up, face. She was smiling broadly and dressed simply in jeans and a sweater. I never thought she had looked more beautiful.
"Hey." She greeted me, smiling even wider. I leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"Hey yourself." I grinned, turning the key the rest of the way, to put the truck in drive. "You ready?"
"Always. Who are you playing tonight?" She asked, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear coyly.
"Lakeview Falcons." I answered, driving down the busy street to the school. "They're pretty good, if I do say so, myself."
"Do you think you're going to beat them, though?" She smiled knowingly.
"Of course, I play on the team, remember, Hales?" I joked, pulling into a deserted parking space. "We always win now."'
"Ah." She nodded, playing along. "How could I have forgotten?" She giggled, climbing out of the truck.
I wrapped an arm around her waist, as we walked up the steps into the school. She leaned into me, relaxing against my shoulder. I kissed her hair, just as we stopped outside the locker room. Nathan and his buddies were just getting ready to go in, but Nathan stopped upon sight of Haley.
I ignored him and turned to Haley. "Wish me luck?" I let go of her waist, but I linked my fingers with hers.
"Good luck." She whispered, nearly sending me off the wall with hoe heartfelt it sounded.
I grinned and leaned forward, pressing my lips to hers. She brought her hand up behind my nape. My free arm wrapped itself securely around her waist. I sucked gently on her bottom lip, before nipping at it lightly. At a few moments, we pulled apart and the guys started hooting and making catcalls.
"I'll see you later." She promised, blushing, before moving to head into the gym.
"Way to score, Scott!" Tim crowed, a teasing grin on his face. Nathan, however, looked like he was going to be sick.
"Thank you guys, but lay off." I ducked past them into the locker room. I didn't have to wait too long before Nathan came charging into the locker room. I spun around, only to be met with Nathan tackling me around the midsection, driving us both to the ground.
"Nathan quit it!" Tim followed into the locker with the other guys.
Jake came up and he and Tim pried Nathan off, but he was fighting to break loose again. I stood up, ready for the fight this time.
"What the f**k, Nathan!" I spat, facing the struggling Scott.
"You A***ole! You knew I liked her, yet you just had to take her!" Nathan growled, trying even harder to break loose.
"As opposed to what you've done to me? Nathan, I'll let you in on a secret. I've liked Haley for awhile now, she was mine first and she's nothing more than your tutor." I looked at him calmly. "She doesn't even like you like that."
I watched his face fall at my words. I did feel sorry for him, but not enough to console him any way. I turned and went to my locker, changing into my Raven's jersey and shorts. I was more than ready to play some good old fashioned b-ball.
Jake followed me out to the court. "That was some serious rage back there. All that over little Haley?"
"I'm crazy about her Jake, she's the one thing I will not give up to Nathan. He got the dad, I get the girl."
"I always knew you two had something, but I never imagined Nathan would too, unless you were fighting over Peyton?" He grinned.
"Peyton and I are so over, infact, we didn't even start." I shook my head. "She's too tempermental, as where Haley is perfect, sweet, understanding, sensitive."
"I hear ya, Bro. I hear ya." He patted me on the shoulder, by now the rest of the team caught up and we all jogged out onto the court. I could hear the cheerleaders cheering and the crowd yelling, but my focus was on nothing, but the game.
As soon as the whistle blew, I was all for it. Blocking, dribbling, shooting, scoring, passing, whatever the task I did it without question or hesitation. God, did I love this game. Once halftime came, I followed the guys into the locker room, feeling elated and ready for more.
"Way to go, Champ." Jake teased. "You're on fire tonight! Trying to impress a certian someone?" His eyes were alight with laughter.
"You know it!" Luke played along. "Also, I just love the game."
"You and me both, you and me both." Jake nodded, before turning his attention to Whitey, who was giving the team a pep talk.
Soon, we were back on the court. playing hard, but the Falcons were able to keep up with us. We were down to the last few seconds in the final period and I looked around anxiously for the ball. Jake had it, with a knowing glance he passed it to me. I caught it easily and was in perfection position for a three point shot.
I closed my eyes, tuning out the roar of the crowd, and the screaming of the cheerleaders. In the back of my mind I could hear Haley's childish laughter and I smiled. Opening my eyes, I aimed straight for the hoop, watching the ball fly from my hands and it went through the hoops with a definate swish.
The buzzer went off at that exact moment. Tree Hill had won. The cheerleaders were screaming and the crowd was cheering loudly. I pumped my fists into the air. Jake was on me in an instant, as were the rest of the team. I recieved many back pats, before I broke free from the group. The cheerleaders were heading for us, but I heard a squeal that brought a smile to my face.
I turned and caught Haley, just as she jumped into my arms. I leaned back and spun her arm, laughing wildly. She was laughing too. It was perfect, I had gotten the game winning shot and the girl I wanted. It was complete bliss at this very moment. I never wanted it to end. It was intoxicating, like a drug. Best of all, I got to share it with Haley.
Sorry for the delay guys, but yesterday was so stressful, here's your chapter though, enjoy and REVIEW!
