(ok here is the next chapter, which i have to keep typing, i am feeling this! lol, anyway, got to type, got to! LOL)

After the game, Trinity bolted from the stands, knowing that her brothers would want to talk to her. She ran down the hallway, back to her favourite spot in the school. She realized someone else sitting there too, it was Ryland.

"Hey, Ry, what are you doing here?" she asked taking a seat beside him.

"It's bad Trinity, bad. Austin just lost, and he knows I've been talking to you, he's seen you looking over at me, and me cheering for the Ravens', oh man he's gonna be mad..."

"Well, my brothers are gonna be on my case cause they just noticed you were a Burton, man, I hate last names," repled Trinity, sighed, and hearing people submerging from the gym.

"I'd better go Ry, Luke or Nath is driving me home," she replied, walking away from the center area of the school, leaving Ryland with a lingering glance. She walked down the hallway, nearly getting trampled by someone sporting a yellow and blue lettman jacket.

"Whoa, watch it," spoke the guy. Trinity looked up and saw the eyes again. Austin Burton, she thought, you are the charcol in my box of crayons.

"You watch it," she muttered, moving away from him.

"Oh, so you are a cocky little Scott, aren't you?" he laughed, seeing his friends leave the gym too.

"Shut up," she replied to him, but now she was surrounded by yellow and blue jackets. She tried to push her way out, but nothing worked, no one moved.

"Let me out," she said, seeing people clearing from the gym, but still, no one would move.

"So little Scott, I heard you've been hanging out with my brother," spoke Austin, his hand clamping over her shoulder. He headed into one of the rooms with her, leaving his gang of friends outside the door, watching for people walking by. "Leave me alone," she cried out, his hand over her mouth.

"Ok little Scott, I will, if you stay away from my brother, believe me, you are too wrong for him,"

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, pulling away from his hands. She headed for the door, but again she was cut off.

"You're a Scott, okay? No one likes the Scotts', they only pretend to, believe me, I know,"

"I really don't care about what you say or know, okay, now please let me out,"

"You think your life is so perfect don't you? Well, believe me, it isn't. Eventually, your parents are going to get divorced and you family life is going to fall to crumbles...just wait,"

"Ok, I know your parents are divorced and all, but why are you taking your family issues out on me? What did I do?"

"Family issues? What do you think your family is gonna do when they find you unconscious in a school classroom?" He smiled a sly smile and ran at her and twisted her wrist back, and by now she knew almost everyone would be out of the school so she knew if she screamed no one would hear it, but she did anyway.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" she screamed pulling her now sore arm away, heading to the door, pushing a desk in front of him. She broke through the walls of Warriors and actually ran into Nathan. She had a look of horror on her face as she looked up at her brother. He gave her a quick hug but pulled her off, having to deal with Austin.

"What the hell were you doing to my sister?" he yelled, pushing over a death to get face to face with his arch rival.

"Whoa, back off Scott, I didn't do a thing to her, we were just talking-"

"Just talking? Is that why her wrist is swollen?"

"Ok I didn't see that coming, I didn't touch her okay?"

"Then tell me why her wrist is swollen!"

"Ok, my hand may have come in contact with her wrist...but I didn't mean to hurt her,"

"You know what Burton, all you have done in this town has caused trouble, and now my sisters hurt, this isn't good,"

"No, it really isn't," spoke Lucas, walking in with the rest of the Ravens.

"Oh no...shit, this is bad,"

"Oh you don't know the half of it Burton, your cronie team mates ditched you, so at this moment in time, its one on about ten," spoke up Tim actually.

"Now, Austin, if I were you, I would get out of Tree Hill very very fast, and yes we are letting you getaway, and if you don't, or you show up in Tree Hill or near the highschool, you are gonna get the beating of your life, so stay away from the Ravens and my sister," Nathan yelled at him, grabbing his shirt but now letting him go. The Ravens parted, making a path for him to slip away.

"Ok, I'm going," he yelped, with Nathan taking a step forward to him. He ran from the room they were all huddled in, and you could hear him running down the hallway, getting into his car and driving away at top speed. The team left the room, with Lucas and Nathan both heading over to Trinity.

"You okay Trin?" Lucas asked giving her a hug, then with him and Nathan both looking over at her wrist.

"I'm fine, and very glad that he is gone, but my wrist does hurt a bit, I don't think its broken," she replied, moving her wrist, and cringing.

"Yah, I don't think its broken either, just a bad sprain, we have tensers at home," spoke Nathan, giving her a smile. She smiled too, but now she was wondering where her dad was and where Ryland was.

"Did dad leave?" she asked, wondering about her appearenceless father.

"Yah, he actually told me I played well, then he left," spoke Lucas, who was the second highest scorer this game, with Nathan being the first.

"You're kidding! You didn't tell me that," said Nathan, looking very surprised.

"Wow little brother, I didn't think you cared," laughed Lucas, "but yes, he did, I am just as surprised as you are, believe me,"

"Little brother? Oh right, I forgot Lucas was older than you Nath, thats funny," Trinity said, smiling at her brothers as they walked out.

Nathan laughed too, "Yes its true, but we can forget that, anyway, Haley said she would meet me at Karen's, need a ride Luke?"

"Um yes, I do actually, since my mother and uncle ditched me when I didn't come back to them after 10 minutes in the locker room, is your arm gonna be okay?" Lucas said, as they walked over to Nathan's car.

"Ya, it'll be fine, and I'm sure you might have a spare tenser around the cafe somewhere anyway, you and your shoulder/arm thingy anyway," she smiled and slipped into the back seat of her brothers car.

At Karen's, Haley wasn't the only one who ended up there. The usual gang was there actually, Brooke, Peyton, Jake, and even Tim was there. A couple of other cheerleaders and basketball players were there too, but they were taking up their own booth. All three Scotts walked over the booth with Luke and Nathan's friends, Trinity happily being placed between her brothers. She sat there listening to her brothers until Lucas disappeared behind the counter for a bit.

He came back with a tray of cookies and hot chocolate. And after sitting down, he dug into his pocket and a tenser bandage appeared in his hand. He smiled and helped her put it on, it was her right wrist too, her basketball hand.

"Thanks Luke," she smiled, and snack on a cookie.

"Alright, Trinity, we are gonna have to talk about that kid you were hanging out with sooner or later, so out with it," spoke up Nathan, after also having a couple cookies.

"OK, he is Austin Burton's brother, and he does play basketball but he is nothing like his brother. He's a nice guy, and like all of us at the table, he isn't too fond of his brother. And I didn't tell you about him because, I wanted to get to know him before you shunned him out of my life!" she summed it up with, hoping that would please her brothers.

"Looks like someone has a crush..." smiled Brooke, getting a look from both Lucas and Nathan.

"Ok, now that that's settled, you might wanna know he's over there, sitting in the corner booth..." Lucas said, motioning to the corner and letting her get up, everyone being able to tell that she was happy about it. And as she walked over to him she could hear Brooke say, "Lucas, Nathan, you know, that is her future boyfriend over there..."

She walked over to the booth and she slid into the side across from Ryland.

"Hey," she said, getting his attention. "Hi," he said in a distracted sort of way.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't wanna go face my brother, he can be kinda scary,"

"You're telling me," she replied to him, motioning to her wrist.

"Holy krap, he did that to you? Are you okay?"

"Yah, I'm better now," she said to him, grabbing his hand.

"Don't worry, okay? You'll be fine, your mom will be home right?" she asked him, in the most caring way.

"I think she should be, I actually called her earlier, to tell her where I am, and she might show up to take me home," he replied, actually seeing his moms black car pull up.

"There she is actually," he said getting up, so she walked out with him. Right ouside the door to Karens was when it happened.

"Thanks for being so nice Trinity, after the whole family issues thing," Ryland said, running his hands nervously through his hair. She smiled at him, and then she glanced over to the window where her brothers were, and she saw six heads turn away quickly.

"It's no problem at all Ry, anytime," she said, grabbing his hand again.

"See you at school Monday?" he asked and she nodded. He looked up at her again, and he blushed. She gave him another smile, and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. She blushed this time, and she pulled him into hug.

"Bye," She waved as his car pulled away, and she sighed in a dreamy way. She walked back in and she took a seat next to her Lucas.

"So?" spoke up Peyton in a giggly way with Brooke nodding along.

"So what?" Trinity asked the cheerleaders, who gave her a look.

"Ok, ok! He kissed me," she said, starting to laugh at the looks on Lucas and Nathan's faces, "On the cheek!"

"You're 13!" said the almost speechless Nathan.

"And he kissed my on the cheek, whats wrong with that?" she replied to him, smiling slyly.

"Nathan, you know, I can remember us at 13..our first kiss was in the library during study period," teased Brooke, recieving another look from him.

"Not helping Brooke," he said through his seat.

"Oh yes, I actually remember that too Nate, I was really studying that day, with Luke too, and you guys were laughing a lot," said Haley, giving a happy shrug.

"You're not helping either Haley, thanks," he said, putting his arm around her with a smile.

"Man, I love how overprotective you guys are,"

Lucas just gave her a smile, "We love you too Trinity,"
