Heather was ready to go by 7:15. She stayed hidden in her room; until Seth arrived he was escorted up to her room, by Nathan. "Hey." Seth felt kind of awkward with Nathan standing there, he didn't let it show. "Hey, you ready to go?" Heather grabbed her basketball and they all headed down stairs. "Bye Haley!" Heather shouted through the kitchen door before heading out the front with Seth right behind her, and Nathan right behind him. When they got outside Nathan stayed on the porch and watched Seth and Heather walk to his car and climb in. He turned around and walked up stairs and into Luke's bedroom, where Luke and Jake were sitting on the floor playing videogames. "There is something off about that Seth kid." Said Nathan. He sat down on the floor beside Jake who grinned, and said, "Hmmm. Maybe the fact that he isn't a kid, Nate he is like 18 years old...." Nathan grimaced. "Yeah and Heather is like 15..." At that moment the 3 girls walked into the room, Haley was wearing a wide grin, "She is 16 Nathan, and she can take care of herself. She has a cell phone if anything goes wrong. Stop worrying." Haley sat down beside Nathan. While Brooke took a spot on the floor by Lucas who was turning off the game and Peyton sat beside Jake who was sitting back up. "So, what are we doing tonight boys?" Asked Brooke. Lucas looked over at Jake, and they both turned to Nathan.. "Well we were thinking, about maybe going to play some basketball." Suddenly Nathan caught on, he didn't think Haley knew that was where Heather was going. Surprised again. "And just where were you three planning on going to play some basketball?" Haley asked. "Well probably the courts..." Said Lucas with a sweet grin on his face. "I don't know think so, I know for a fact there are two kids over at the courts.. who are having a good time and don't need any overprotective men coming to the rescue, if you three want to play basketball, your gonna stay here and play outside, on our courts." Said Haley. The three guys got up and grabbed there basketball and started walking outside. Nathan started muttering half way down the stairs not knowing that Haley could hear him. "Don't see why we have to use the home courts when we are all grown adults and the kids get to drive 15 minutes away. Just so they have some damned privacy." Haley who was trying her hardest not to laugh, yelled down the stairs. "I heard that Nathan!" Brooke and Peyton were giggling on the bed. At the sound of Haley's voice Nathan flinched and walked outside. Haley turned to the girls when she heard the door slam and started laughing.
Heather goes for the lay up and BOOM 2 points for her the score is 100 to 98 in favor of Heather. Seth is starting to get mad and starts to pound to court with his feet harder and harder as he runs faster and faster, He couldn't believe he had to start playing his hardest in the 2nd quarter. He was starting to feel embarrassed, if he lost he could lie and say he let her win, but they would both know that was a lie. She could tell he was starting to get frustrated he wasn't a good loser. They called halftime and decided to sit down and get a drink. "Your good for a girl." Said Seth, with a grin on his face. Heather smiled. "Yeah, that's probably why I'm kicking your ass eh?" Suddenly that grin faded from his face, Heather knew she had hit a sore spot. She was actually happy she had gotten under his skin a little. They sat there talking about nothing in particular, when they went to play again they saw headlights. 'no, not this anything but this Heather thought as she realized what was going on, Seth was pulling her through the woods they were running at full speed. Keep going. Just keep running. Don't stop, don't BOOOOOM!!!!!
