"You see Trinity, Luke died" said haley, making need2sleepnow burst out in laughter. HAH! that was a joke! lol!!! anyway, thanks for the reviews!!! u all rock! YOU KNOW IT! lmao! anyway, enjoy this chappie and review!!)
"No, he didn't show up..."Nathan trailed off, driving out of the school parking lot.

"Oh," Trinity said, looking pretty hurt, "Was he working tonight?"

"No, I actually saw him hanging with Brooke after school..." Haley said quietly. Trinity sighed and crossed her arms. She looked out the window of the car, she was hurt. Lucas came to most of her games in junior high, but those weren't important. It was the highschool games that meant more to her, where people noticed. But without him showing up and cheering her on, she felt hurt and almost lost.

"Trinity, are you alright? You seem sort of distant..." Darren said, as they sat at the river court. Trinity shrugged, and rested her head on his shoulder.

"The very first thing he said to me when I got home was '35 points', that's all, no good game, no you played well, nothing," she said, sighing.

"But after hearing everything about your dad, that seems normal, I can tell something else is bothering you, tell me" Darren said, making her laugh when he used his puppy eyes.

"Alright, it's Lucas, he totally missed my game and he promised he'd be there, but whatever, at least you were there," she said, smiling.

"I make the world better don't I?" he said, smiling.

"Yah, you do"

"Your brothers first game is tonight, right?" he asked, still smiling at her.

"Ya, we still gonna go?" she asked him, pulling her sweater back on.

"I hope so, but I have to go right now, my mom needs some help with something at home, see you tonight?" he asked her, getting up.

"Yup, seeya!" she said, deciding to sit for a while. She started thinking about the possibilites and reasons to why Lucas missed her game. If he had been hanging out with Brooke, that could bring up a lot more reasons than Trinity wanted to think about.

&&&

"Lucas, you seem so distracted, what's wrong?" Brooke asked him, resting her head on his chest. They were lying in Brooke's bed on Saturday morning, after having spent Friday evening together going to random bars.

"It's nothing, I just have this feeling I forgot to do something last night, but whatever," he said, satisfied and looking at his watch.

"Do you have to go to work today? I mean, you have your game tonight, shouldn't you be like resting or something?" Brooke asked, watching him get up and slip back into his clothes.

"Since when do I rest before my games?" he laughed, "That's like me saying you should rest up for cheerleading,"

"Yah, I guess your'e right, I'll hang with Pey until the game tonight, have fun at work," she said, sticking her tounge out.

"Oh I will, just for you Cheery," he said, giving her a kiss and heading out to the cafe.

Lucas walked drove along the streets of Tree Hill, showing up at the little cafe his mom owns. The feeling of missing something returned as he walked in, but he still didn't know what or why. He walked behind the counter and hung up his jacket, saying his hellos to his mom. Haley was working today too.

"Hey Hales," he said, joining her at the counter.

"Hey Lucas," she said, a little coldly. She still couldn't believe he had blown off his sister's first game to get wasted beside Brooke Davis.

"Lucas? You haven't call me Lucas since the last time you were mad at me- what did I do?" he said, suddenly realizing she was mad.

"If you don't know, why should I tell you?" she said, in a half joking way. He gave her a look but didn't give up.

"Am I allowed hints in this Guess Why Haley Is Mad At Me game?" he said, trying to make her laugh but she didn't bite. Trinity then walked into the cafe. She smiled at Haley and avoided any eye contact with Lucas.

"There's the only hint you get," Haley said, motioning to Trinity, who had taken a seat at the end of the counter, not at her usual spot. Suddenly it all came back to him, promising his sister he'd be at her game, talking with Brooke after school, and totally forgetting about the first ever girls basketball game at Tree Hill High. But the worst thing about it all, he had missed his sister's first high school game.

"Aww, shit, this is exactly what I need to go with this hangover," he said, walking over to his sister.

"Hey little sister," he said, trying to get her to use the 'Hey big brother, little sister,' thing they do, but she just looked at him.

"Hey Lucas!" she said, in the most sarcastic way.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked her, getting the most obvious look from her.

"Is my dad obsessed with winning at basketball? Does Nathan love Haley?" she said, "Yes, I'm mad at you, and at the moment I don't really want to talk to you, or hear anything from you unless your excuse for missing my first highschool basketball game is something like 'I was curing world hunger or I died'" she finished with, crossing her arms.

"Ouch," he said, "Well, then can I tell you why I missed you game, but you don't have to talk to me," he asked her, giving her a smile. She didn't smile back.

"Talk all you want, I'm not going to listen, I just want you to understand what you missed, my first highschool basketball game, the one time I had to prove to everyone I was just like everyother Scott and more, and the first girls basketball game at Tree Hill High in the history of Tree Hill High, and you go off and miss it and that hurt, it really did, and I just want you to understand that," she said, getting up and walking out, leaving Lucas speechless.

"Haley, I am such a screw up," he said, walking back over to his best friend.

"I know, but not totally, part of that screw up is the hangover, Got Advil?" she joked, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"You still mad at me?" he asked her, giving her his own puppy dog eyes.

"Not intirely, I'm glad you at least talked to her, but you wanna tell me what you did last night?"

"All I remember is drinking a lot, and going to some bars, then going to Brooke's house, and I woke up in bed with her, so you can just imagine what happened-"

"Whoa there horsey, back it up, too much information!" Haley said, sheliding her eyes, laughing.

Lucas threw his cloth at her, "Oh shut up!"

That night, Trinity met Darren in the gym, and they got seats together on the top row of the bleachers. She was happy to see him after the whole thing with Lucas. And of course she told him about it.

"How did he take it though?" he asked her since the game hadn't started yet.

"Well, I kinda blew up at him, but I kinda had to, I hope he took it well, but it's not like he would break down if I was mad at him," she said, shrugging. She glanced down at the court, seeing Lucas talking with Brooke, but she was distracted by the sound of someone calling her name beside her.

"Hey Trinity, this seat taken?" Haley said, sitting down beside her. Since Darren was sitting at her left she couldn't really tell off Haley, so she smiled.

"Hey Haley," she said, shooting a look at Nathan on the court. She had this feeling Haley was sitting with them for more than one reason.

"So who's your friend?" Haley asked, seeing Trinity's hands intertwined with the guy next to her.

"Oh right, Haley this is Darren, Darren meet Haley," Trinity said, smiling. Haley smiled too, and laughed to herself. The game had started up now, and most conversation for them stopped. Whenever someone on the team scored, of course Trinity would cheer but whenever Lucas scored, she cheered to the least of her ability. It still was cheering though, just not with the most enthusiasim.

By halftime, the Ravens' were winning 45-27, a good lead. Trinity watched as the cheerleaders pranced onto the court, doing their halftime routine with their fake smiles. She also watched Haley race down the stairs to Nathan, to congratulate him on the game so far. Darren and Trinity stayed up in the bleachers though, for Trinity didn't want a run in with her brother.

"I see where you get all your skill from," Darren said, laughing.

"yes, you have it all worked out, its all from my brothers," she joked, smiling. They sat in their spots, resting their feet on the bench ahead of them, talking and at some points laughing at the cheerleaders.

"You know, the word around is that Trey likes you," Darren said, in a sort of defensive way.

"Calm down there Dare, I don't like him, but how does everyone else know these things before me?" she said, laughing as Haley rejoined them and the game started up again. The Ravens ended up winning 62-31, and after the rush of people laving the bleachers, Trinity and Darren headed down to the gym floor.

"Hey Nath, good game," she said, smiling at her brother.

"Thanks," he said, giving her a who-is-he look, obviously refering to Darren.

"Oh Nathan, this is Darren, Darren this is my brother Nathan," Trinity said, giving Nathan a look.

"Uh, nice to meet you," Darren said uncomfortably.

"You too," Nathan said, yet in a way it was like he was saying 'watch yourself'. They walked out of the gym, with Trinity asking if Darren needed a ride home, which he did, so Nathan said he would drive them. Trinity walked passed Lucas on the way out, behind Nathan and Haley, next to Darren. She gave him a hurt look, then turned away, not wanting to look at him.

"You ready to go Broody?" Brooke asked Lucas, as they walked out of the gym

He watched as Trinity walked out with Nathan and Haley and he sighed, "Yah.."
