Tim's first day at school
Tim stared at his schedule and map and then headed to his first period
class, Science.
"Hey who's the hottie?" Peyton asked when he walked into the room.
"My brother," Luke said when he leaned over next to her ear. Tim gave
Peyton an approving nod and sat down next to her.
"Hi I'm Tim Cooper who are you?" he asked.
"Your worst nightmare. I'm friends with Luke and your half brother,
Nathan," Peyton responded coolly. She will be mine. Tim thought to himself.
Soon class ended and they headed to gym where they were playing basketball.
Coach Whitey noticed Tim's shooting ability and his aggressiveness right
away and pulled him aside.
"We sure could use you on our basketball team, son. Are you interested?
What's your name?" Whitey asked.
"Tim. Tim Cooper and I'd be happy to play," he said. Lucas and Nathan both
stared in disbelief at the scene in front of them. When Tim noticed them
both staring at him he smirked and walked away. Later that day all three
guys headed to basketball practice.
"Ok this is Tim Cooper from LA I expect you'll all treat him with the
respect that he deserves," Whitey started saying.
"Which isn't much," Lucas muttered.
"Lucas Scott! As I was saying he's an excellent player now let's get to it.
Wait a minute where's Jagelski?"
"Right here coach!" Jake said as he came running in with Jenny in tow. He
handed her to Peyton with a kiss.
"Damn a kid? What's that idiot thinking? What a loser," Tim muttered to the
guy standing next to him, a bench warmer named Ryan. Lucas overheard him.
"Tim don't even start. You've pushed your way onto the basketball team but
you are not going to take my spot and you're not going to make fun of my
friends. You'll learn soon enough that it isn't a very smart thing to do,"
Lucas told him as they started warming up. They finished basketball
practice and Nathan and Lucas headed to the café.
"So how was Tim today boys?" Karen asked when the two entered.
"He managed a spot on the basketball team and he's already going around
insulting our friends. Mom can't we send him away or something?" Lucas
responded to his mother.
"No let's just give him some time to get used to it. Now let me get Haley
you two sit down." Karen told the two and walked out. They sat around
talking and doing homework for a couple of hours until it was time to go
home.
"Lucas are you coming home tonight? You know Nathan you're welcome to stay
with us until your mom gets back," Karen said.
"Thanks Karen. I think it'd be best if you had someone around anyways with
Tim so Lucas and I'll come home tonight," Nathan responded as he started to
pack up his books.
"Fine," Lucas said resoundingly.
"Haley you're welcome to come back with the guys too if you want. There's a
pullout bed in the living room you can have since Nathan is taking the one
in Lucas' room."
"Sure thanks Karen, that'd be great," Haley told the woman and started to
gather her things. "I just have to grab some clothes and stuff from home."
