Chapter 2

Thanks for the reviews! Don't worry; I'll get more into the story this time. That was just the introduction.

A few minutes after Nathan left, Kaylin sees Lucas.

"Hey Cinderella." He said, smiling.

"Oh, so that's my name now? Cinderella?" she chuckled "Works for me. The court is in the backyard, you can go ahead right through that gate," she said, pointing. "Just give me a few minutes to change."

Lucas nodded and went to the backyard. Wow this girl is rich, he thought to himself, as he made his way around the pool, around a giant patio and finally to the back. Surrounded by some trees was a basketball court. He kept staring in all directions, getting used to his surroundings.

She came up behind him and said, "Yeah, my parents tried to get me to do ballet, but basketball won in the end."

He laughed, and turning around to face her said, "Wow Cinderella, you really do live in a castle."

"It would seem like that wouldn't it? Well Lucas, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Castles are nice on the outside, but inside they can feel like jail cells", she said, gazing back at her house.

"And why would you say that?" Lucas said, trying to make the moment less awkward. He saw that she felt uncomfortable.

"Well, let's just leave it at this. It can get pretty lonely in a castle." She paused. "Ok, let's play ball."

They shot around for a few hours, until the sun began to set. Lucas was impressed by how skilled a player she was. Ok, so maybe she had won a couple of games because he couldn't help stopping and staring. But hey, it wasn't his fault his hormones took over...

They sat down on the bench to take a water break.

"So Cinderella, Freshmen Fun Night is next week" said Lucas.

"Oh really? What's that?"

"Well, its when the seniors form teams with a group of freshmen and we, well, welcome them to Tree Hill High. Each team needs two seniors and six freshmen. Some friends of mine are doing it. All the teams compete in activities. Winning team gets to use the principal's parking space for two weeks. Wanna do it?"

"Yeah, sure. That sounds like fun", she said.

"All right. We need to sign up tomorrow and then we need to find us some freshmen."

She laughed. "Ok, so we'll each find three freshmen?"

"Ok." He glanced at his watch. "Oh crap, I've gotta get home." Lucas quickly got up to leave.

"All right. I'll see you tomorrow at school."

"Bye."

"Bye."
