When Alyssa and Nathan came back, dinner was almost ready. Arthur gave Alyssa a look when he saw what she was wearing.

"Sorry, I look this way everyone, it's just that I don't like wearing dresses like I used to." Dan looked at Deb, who laughed.

"It's okay. I know how that feels." Alyssa smiled.

"Shall we eat?" Dan said as he heard the 'bing' of the stove.

During dinner, Dan and Arthur talked about college and high school. Nathan and Alyssa didn't realize it, but they were playing footsey. After dinner, Nathan and Alyssa made plans to meet at the park with the basketball court.

At around 9 o'clock, Alyssa decided to get there early in order to warm-up. When she got there, she saw a tall, handsome, young man with blonde hair playing basketball alone. She walked up anyways. Alyssa wasn't the type of girl to be shy. She said what was on her mind no matter the cost.

"Hi." Alyssa said. She started the tall blonde.

"Oh... Hi. I didn't see you there." He stood there a few minutes and watched the new face take a ball, with lots of writing, out of her bag. She dribbled it. While waiting for the young man to speak.

"I'm Alyssa Thornhill." Alyssa said, breaking the awkwardness.

"Lucas Scott." He replied with a smile.

"Scott? You're not by chance related to… Nathan Scott are you?" Alyssa tilted her head to the side. Her dark brown curly hair went with her head.

"Yeah. Unfortunately. Dan is my dad. He left my mom and married Nathan's mom and had him. Forgetting about my mom and me." Luke couldn't believe how much personal info was just revealed.

"I got the impression that Dan was a bad guy." Alyssa kinda laughed. "He even thinks that Nathan and I are going to go out." When she had went to the bathroom, while at the Scotts' home, she over heard Dan telling her dad what a great couple Nathan and she would make.

"Do you like Nathan?" Luke asked, surprising both the new girl and himself.

"He seems like a great guy so far…"

"…but?"

"But I don't know if he's really… my type." Alyssa and Luke talked till 10 o'clock, the time that Nathan was supposed to meet Alyssa.

"Wow!" Alyssa exclaimed in between a laugh. "It's 10:00."

"You said why you had come to the park." Luke said, quickly so that she would stay longer and talk with him.

"I was supposed to meet Nathan here to play a little b-ball." Alyssa replied. The look in Luke's pretty eyes didn't seem happy.

"Oh."

"Well, I have to go." Alyssa said grabbing her ball but before she could grab it, Luke grabbed it.

"What are you doing?" Alyssa said trying to snatch the ball away.

"You didn't get to play ball with Nathan, so…"

"So what?" Alyssa said flirty.

"So why don't you play a quick a game to say… oh… 5 baskets." Luke had the ball in his right hand. Alyssa was a little too short to reach, so it was a real entertaining for Lucas Scott.

"Fine!" Alyssa jumped as high as she could and snatched the ball.

"You start." Luke said with a laugh.

"Okay." Alyssa said shaking her head.

It started off slow. Alyssa and Luke both made a basket. It was 10:30 before another basket was made. After that, they each made another 3 baskets, leaving 1 basket to make the tie become the winner. Alyssa shot the ball for the win but Luke stopped it. It flew towards the out of bounce area. They both went for it.

"I got it." Alyssa said. Luke was already there but Alyssa jumped for it.

Bam!-

Luke fell right on top of Alyssa. Their bodies hard against each other's. Luke stared into her beautiful dark blue eyes, and Alyssa stared back into his. Her hands were touching his blonde shaggy hair. Luke's hands were on her waist. (An awkward fall.) Luke got up and helped Alyssa get up. She again hit his body. Their bodies met again. He leaned in and so did she. Their lips intertwined. She put her hands on his shoulders. He put his hands on her waist.

Just as Luke and Alyssa kissed, Nathan drove up. He had his explanation all worked out to apologize. That's when he saw them lean and kiss.
