Trinity kept running, but she had no idea where she was going. She knew Nathan was going to be out with Haley today and Lucas had to work at the cafe in the afternoon, then the bodyshop that night. She thought about going over to the river court but then she thought about all of Lucas's friends who hung out there. When times were bad, she always had her mom to talk to, but now...her mom was gone. She sighed and stopped running outside her new school.

She took a seat on the front steps and sighed. She folded her arms, feeling the warmth of her brother's Ravens hoodie. She smiled weakly, but sighed. She rested her head in her hands, knowing at this time if her old boyfriend Ryland still lived in town, she could be talking to him right now. She hadn't gotten any emails from him lately, and she missed him. She heard a car pull up to the school, but she ignored it, whoever it was.

"You must be a Scott," said someone in front of her. She looked up to see Nathan and Lucas' basketball coach, Whitey.

"Um yah that's me, a Scott," she said, sighing. She looked back down, and heard him take a seat next to her.

"I see you are another Scott being burdened by a last name," he said, in the most understanding way.

"Ya, I really hate it, everyone expects so much from you,"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I tell people who I am and they expect me to be a basketball pro with not the best grades, like Nathan, or they think I'm manipulative like my dad, but then he ruins everything by being himself at home"

"What if you were good at basketball, down to earth and a great friend?" he asked, reffering to another Scott.

"You mean like Lucas? I never thought of it that way," she said, with a small smile.

"Believe me, there are many different sides to the Scotts I've known, even your dad can change," he said getting up, and walking into the school. She smiled, thinking that Coach Whitey was a better guy than Nathan and her dad gave him credit for. She got up and started walking away from the school, feeling better, or at least a bit better.

Trinity did end up at the river court before she headed home that night. She slipped over there after walking around town all afternoon and she sat down at the picnic table, staring onto the court. At this time, she badly wanted a basketball to take her feelings out on but none. She walked home from the court, pretty scared of her surroundings.

Once she showed up at the beach house, all the lights in the house were off. She walked up to the front door and turned the doorknob, but the house was locked up. She looked up and saw a dim lighting coming from her father's room, so she rang the doorbell to her own house, like an idiot. But she got nothing. She rolled her eyes in anger and started banging on the door, and finially she heard something. A light turned on and she heard loud steps walking over to the door. Dan unlocked the door to see a very pissed off Trinity.

"Why the hell was the house locked?" she said, coming in, facing him.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were home, it is about ten o'clock and you have school tomorrow," he said harshly, locking the door again.

"You thought I was home? Why didn't you actually check before you locked me out?" she asked him, making her way upstairs.

"I said I was sorry, it was an accident," he said, not meaning it at all.

"Right," she finished with, rolling her eyes.

"Do you need a ride to school?" Dan asked his daughter, trying to sound ever so nice. She shook her head again, making her pony tail bounce.

"No, believe me I don't," she said, finished her toast. She got up and grabbed her bag and headed out, leaving her dad alone. Showing up with her dad would just prove shes another Scott, and she hated it. And showing up with your dad definetly meant you were still a kid, which is a bad thing for highschool. She walked to Tree Hill High, and gladly didn't see either of her brothers. That would also just show she's a Scott.

Homeroom was English, so Trinity took a seat in the back row, sitting beside a girl who wore a lot of bracelets. The girl had red hair with brownish streaks, and she was doodling in her notebook. The teacher started to talk but Trinity just zoned out, it was really boring hearing about all the afterschool activities with no girls basketball. The girl beside her's hand shot up at the sound of basketball too.

"Is there a girls varsity team?" she asked the teacher. Trinity perked up to the sound of basketball, so she looked at the teacher too.

"Yes, actually this year there will be a girl's varsity team," spoke the teacher, whos name was Mrs.Millar. Trinity eyes widened and a hush fell over the classroom.

"Really? When are tryouts?" Trinity asked, seeing an identical look to her own on the girl beside her.

"Today after school," Mrs.Millar said, moving on to a different subject. Trinity smiled and tried hard to pay attention but it didnt really work. It turned out the girl with the red hair had classes with Trinity all morning, so they sat together in science.

"Im Janessa by the way," said the girl, as they took notes during science.

"I'm Trinity, I'm guessing you're excited about tryouts too?" she asked, seeing Janessa doodling basketballs in her binder.

"Yah, most def, you?"

"Of course," Trinity said, and then the bell rang so they both headed to the cafateria.

"So are you new in Tree Hill?" Trinity asked her, as they sat down at a table, looking down at the food on her plate, which looked very disgusting.

"Yah, we moved from Toronto, up in Canada, my dad got some new job here, it really sucks," she said, but then she smiled, "but Tree Hill isn't that bad,"

"yah, you'll get used to it, it'll get really boring, believe me," said Trinity, seeing Nathan and all his friends waltz in.

"Oh great," Trinity said, turning away.

"What's wrong with them? The guy in the letterman jacket is a cutie," Janessa said, looking over at them. Trinity laughed at her, then saw them heading over.

"No," she cried, getting a look from Janessa, "He's my brother okay?" She turned away, but she did see him coming closer to their table.

"Really? You're lucky, I'm an only child," she said, giving her a look.

"Hey Trin," Nathan said, taking a seat beside her. She sighed, and turned to him.

"Hey Nath," she said, giving him an almost sarcastic smile.

"I hear there's going to a girls varsity team, you trying out?"

"Did you know about it all along? You are so cruel!" she said, shaking her head, "But yes, of course I am,"

"Ok, I've got to go though," he said getting up.

"Alright, bye," she said, turning away.

"What's wrong with him?" asked Janessa, watching him walk away.

"There's nothing wrong with him, wait, you don't know who he is?" Trinity asked, looking almost surprised.

"Am I supposed to?" her friend asked, looking confused.

"No, I guess not, I forgot you just moved here, well you know that painted rock beside the sign outside? Number 23? That's my brother Nathan's number, he's like the star of the guys team, the older guys team, he's been on the team for like 4 years now," Trinity said, telling the tale of her brother the basketball star.

"Whoa, that probably explains all the people staring over here now, because your his sister," Janessa said loosly, motioning to all the juniors staring at them.

"Great,"
