Love Rectangle + 1
Lucas dribbled the ball and tried to make a shot; it bounced off the edge of the rim.
"Another miss," Lucas said to himself. It was dark outside, and he was playing with barely any light coming from the street lamp. But that wasn't the cause of his missed shot. No, the cause was Haley James.
It had been two weeks since the night of that father/son basketball game where she hugged *him*.
'Yea, just his tutor,' he thought angrily to himself. He took the ball and bounced it hard against the concrete ground. Keith was helping his mom with something at home; normally he'd go chill at the café with Haley, since she was closing. He walked over to and took a seat on the bench.
How did this happen to them? Their friendship was rock solid. That's when it hit him; this was his fault.
"It's.my fault," he whispered to himself. Thoughts ran through his head. 'If I never joined the team, things wouldn't be like this. Nathan would never have asked Haley to tutor him. Hell, he wouldn't have even known who she was!' Lucas sat for a moment. "I'm not going to be the one to make her choose," he decided. "I'll let Nathan be the ass." He took off and headed to the café. Luke was there in just a few minutes. The closed sign was showing. Haley had her back to the door as she was cleaning up.
Lucas watched her for a few moments. 'God, I miss her,' he thought to himself. The way they teased each other, and he could talk to her about anything. He didn't want to lose her, to Nathan of all people. He missed just hanging out and the way she made him laugh. He pushed open the door and the bell alerted his presence.
