It was probably about 6am when Lucas woke up. His sister was still out like a light on the other couch and he had a throbbing headache. He glanced to the porch outside, seeing Haley cuddled up to Nathan, both of them covered with a blanket, sipping coffee. He got up, and stretched, blinking his eyes, not believing what he saw. But when he looked again, it was the same. He walked over to the porch door, and looked out. His bestfriend and his worst enemy/half brother were deep in conversation about something, laughing every now and then. He sighed and walked out with them, standing in front of them, and leaning on the wodden railing.

"Hey," he said, breaking them up. Haley looked kind of worried about Lucas seeing her with Nathan.

"Hey Luke, how'd ya sleep?" she said, obviously trying not to bring up the fact she was snuggled up to Nathan. Nathan smiled at him too, acting like it was nothing.

"Um fine I guess," he said, standing up now, not being able to see Haley being close with Nathan,"And you too?" He finished up withm shaking his head, walking away, and eventually driving away after he check on his sister, making sure not to make eye contact with Haley or Nathan.

"Lucas," said Haley jumping up, following him but she stopped and let him be. She sat back down beside Nathan, who tried putting his arm around her but she shrugged him off. She just gave him a look. She was really upset, Lucas was her bestfriend and then she had to go and do this, not that she didn't like it.

"Um Nathan, I've really got to go now, ok, I'll um...call you later..ok?" she said, giving him a smile and kissing him on the cheek.

"You need a ride?" he asked, jumping up to her.

"Um, no, I think I need to walk right now, anyways, stay here with your sister." she nodded and walked off the porch, running her hands through her hair.

Nathan went back to the living room, and sat down on the couch opposite his sister. He flipped on the tv, watching more sports clips which always made him feel better, but this time it did nothing. He felt bad for Haley, he knew about her relationship with Lucas and how different it was from the one with him. He probably meant more to her than he did and now Nathan felt bad for him too. He probably wasn't expecting waking up to his bestfriend sitting beside his, well, enemy. He tuned out of his inner thoughts and tuned into his sports highlights.

At about 7:20 am, about an hour after Lucas stormed out Trinity woke up. She sat up to see Nathan watching sports highlights, and she noticed he wasn't in the best mood. She thought for a second, I am in the beach house, but last time I remember I was up in my room, some guy...then it's all blank. She shook her head and yawned.

Nathan noticed his sister sit up and he leaped into action, the big brother role taking over. He sat beside her on the couch, and looked her in the eyes, giving her a loving look.

"Hey, how ya feeling?" he asked her and waited for her reply.

"Um..fine I think, I have a headache though and I can't remember anything from last night..." she replied, shaking her head.

He gave her a hug,"At least you're better, you have been out cold for like 9 hours, couldn't even wake you up!" He smiled at her again and explained everything he knew about what happened last night.

"so this guy, your rival in basketball put some drug thing in my pop and it knocked me out? You better have at least knocked him out..." she trailed off, laughing.

"Actually, I think Lucas was gonna do that but he let him go, to come help me with you..." he said, thinking back to last night. They both got up and headed to the kitchen, Nathan setting out 2 bowls for cereal.

"Are you saying you and Lucas were actually almost practicly getting along?" she asked him with wide eyes.

"When you put it that way, yes..." he poured his sister some cereal adding milk, and then giving her some advil.

She ate her cereal with her brother, listening to him talk about the party. Then she noticed that the whole house was relativly clean.

"Hold on, who helped you clean up?" she said, pretty satisfied she didn't have to help him. She saw him smile and then she smiled.

"It was Haley," he said, looking around, taking it all in.

"Hey, you never look like that when I help you clean!" she teased him,"You like her don't you...."

"I guess I do, but she is so different from what I usually date...so yah, I guess I like her..." he trailed off, still smiling.

"Well, I know you won't care, but I approve!" she smiled at him as he laughed at her.

"You're right, I don't care, at least you're back to normal, but it was nice having you quiet for nine hours..."

"Hey, you take that back, you airhead!" she said jumping onto his back, them both into a fit of laughter.

"And, we aren't gonna tell mom and dad, okay?" he said to her as she nodded back and Nathan smiled at her.

-...-

When their parents did get home, all they said about the party was that it went well. Nathan was still really mad about Austin Burton but he knew exactly how to get him back. They had another game verse the Warriors on Friday, and officially, both Lucas and Nathan were ready to beat them.

On Wednesday, Trinity was headed home after school, taking the way near the river court. She had been taking this path a lot lately, seeing a new family move in. On this afternoon, she was on her rollerblades, and as she passed the house this day she didn't notice the other rollerblader on the sidewalk. She looked over at the house, sailing down the sidewalk at a high speed and she ran into this other person. She ended up knocking him over, and she fell over herself, tearing her jeans.

"Oh my gawd, I am so sorry!" she pleaded once she got up. She then noticed she was staring into the most gorgeous eyes she had ever seen, almost a baby blue colour. The guy standing in front of her was wearing long black shorts and a red Element t-shirt, and to her, he was the cutest guy she had even known.

"Don't worry, I'm alright, is your knee okay?" he asked, glancing at her ripped pants.

"Um yah, just ripped, thanks, I'm Trinity by the way, Trinity Scott" she extended her hand to him and he shook it, then a look of worry came onto his face.

"Hey Trinity, you aren't related to Nathan and or Lucas Scott are you?" he asked her, taken back.

"yah, Nathan's my brother and Lucas is my half brother...why?"

"Well, um, I really shouldn't be thinking you're cute now..."

"What?" she asked, suddenly blushing.

"Well, my name is Ryland, Ryland Burton..."
