Trinity made her way to the gym after school that day, for practice. Obviously she couldn't play at all with her wrist, but she could always be there. The practice had already started, and everyone seemed to be doing really good even without her. She took a seat up in the stands, watching the practice, recieving looks from their coach. She knew people had depeneded on her for the team but what was she going to do? Go back in time and stop Trey from jumping her? She couldn't undo anything now.
She looked over to the other side of the court, where Trey and his team were practicing. He seemed to be telling them all something, then suddenly they all started laughing. It was a harsh kind of laughter though, an evil laughter. Trey looked her way, glaring at her and smiling a bit, an evil smile. She looked away from him, tears coming to her eyes about the previous night. She shook them off quick enough, not wanting to cry over him, and she wouldn't.
"Trinity right?" someone spoke up beside her, breaking her from her thoughts. She looked over to see Brooke, all happy and cheery.
"Party girl," Trinity said, giving her a blank smile.
"Ouch, didn't we get over that? Oh well, Lucas told me what happened, how are ya doing?"
"Fine I guess, did Lucas go out and tell everyone or what?" Trinity replied, rolling her eyes.
"I don't think so, he told me but I asked, I'm guessing you aren't telling people then?" Brooke guessed. Trinity sighed. Why am I talking to her?
"Would you want the whole school to end up knowing that you got jumped?"
"I see your point," Brooke said, her cheerfulneed calming. Trinity felt kind of bad about bursting her bubble but she felt if she talked more about the situation from the night before she might break down.
"Yah...." Trinity trailed off, not sure about what to say. Luckily, they were both saved by Lucas.
"My two favourite girls," he said, taking a seat beside Brooke. They both gave him greatful smiles, and he just shrugged.
"Good one big brother," Trinity said, watching Darren for a bit leaving Lucas and Brooke to talk.
"Don't you have practice?" Brooke asked him, wondering why he wasn't dressed in shorts for basketball.
"Not today, they have a longer practice," he said, motioning to the people on the court. Trinity sighed heavily, not wanting the whole basketball subject to be brought up. Lucas gave her a sad sort of look, but she just looked away again, not wanting to talk about it. The practice was coming to an end, everyone on the court seemed to be smiling.
"C'mon Trinity, you'll be back on that court in no time," Lucas said supportively. She didn't really want to be back on that court in 'no time', she didn't even know if she ever wanted to be back on the court.
"You know, I don't even no if I want to get back on that court Lucas, all it does is cause problems for everyone, I just don't know," Trinity said shortly, shrugging a bit and walking down the bleachers. Lucas gave her a strange kind of look but shook it off, he had no idea how she might feel at that moment, no idea at all.

Trinity walked down the hallowed sports memrobelia hallway, she knew she would always hate this hallway. All of them stupid basketball trophies, and banners and even the pictures. The worst part of that whole hallway was the framed '33' jersey and the whole story behind her dads record. Thats one reason she didn't want to play the stupid game, because she had to work up to her dad's level, being that good.
"You know its too bad," spoke a voice from behind her, a cold voice. She moved her head around and saw Trey standing there, laughing to himself.
"Too bad?" she repeated, a bit confused. She should have just ignored him, he would eventually go away but she didn't want to prove that to him, she could take anything from him.
"It's too bad that you'll never live up to all this," he said, pointing to her dad's jersey, then to her brother's jerseys. She just looked away from him, continuing down the hallway.
"Go away," she said quietly, crossing her arms and not looking back. He walked up to her, a smile on his face.
"C'mon Trinity, I didn't mean to do that, I was just angry, I just really liked you," he said, in his most innocent way.
"What do you mean 'liked'?"
"I've moved on, even though it was like last night, I'm over you, moved on to Janessa," he said with a devilish smile.
"You better not hurt her, you don't deserve her,"
"Are you gonna tell her that or something?"
"I don't know..."
"I knew you wouldn't," he said, smiling to himself.
"Whatever, you really don't deserve her though, you are such a-"
"A what? I dare you to finish that sentence," he said coldly, grabbing her hurt wrist.
"Trey, please stop this, it isn't safe, you need help or something," she said, pulling her wrist away. It was bleeding againg now, thanks to the force, the stitches had ripped.
"Whatever, I'm off to see Janessa," he said smiling. She glared at him as he walked away, all full of himself. She needed to tell someone it was him but she didn't know who to tell.
"Trinity, what the hell was that?" she heard someone say from the other end of the hallway. She didn't want to turn around, she knew who it was. Lucas.
"Trinity?" he repeated, walking up to her and putting his hand on his shoulder. She pulled away soon enough, turning around to face him. She made no eye contact, she didn't want to. He raised her chin a bit, using his hand, and looked her in the eye.
"Trin, what's going on?" he said, in a soft but worried way.
"Lucas," she cried out, seeing her brother with worry in his eyes, having seen what Trey had just did done. He pulled her into a hug, not sure what was wrong, but at that moment a hug seemed right. It was right there, in the middle of the sports memrobelia hallway, they hugged and it was perfect.
"We need to talk little sister, I really didn't like what I saw with you and that guy moments ago," he said quietly, breaking from the hug and putting his arm around her shoulder.
"I know," she said quietly, wanting badly to aviod the subject.
"well? I'm guess you don't want to talk here, in the middle of this hallway, so where to?"
"How about the River Court?"
"Sure,"
&&&
"Alright kiddo, talk," Lucas said out flat as they both took a seat on the picnic table. Lucas had a basketball in hand, and she really wanted to grab it and run onto the court.
"Luke, its hard, do I have to?"
"Do you want to go explain to Nathan first then?"
"Um, not really, so I guess I'll talk," she started, taking a deep breath, "That was Trey in the hallway, starter for the guys team, he has a bigger ego than my dad, since that day we played the guys in the gym, everyone said he liked me, then I started going out with Darren,"
"Go on, I know the story doesn't end there," he said, hearing her pause.
"Okay okay, Trey stopped talking to me so I was fine, everything was great until yesterday when-"
"Wait, are you telling me it was that Try kid who jumped you?"
Trinity nodded a small nod, "It's Trey and yes," She saw a really confused look on her brother's face.
"What?" she asked him.
"Trinity, why didn't you tell us it was him? You could have died, this isn't good, why the hell didn't you tell us?"
"Lucas stop, I was scared, what do you think? Do you know what its like to be threatened by a knife?"
"No, I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you,"
"Ok moving on with my story, today at school, in the hallway where you saw me with him, he just came up and grabbed my wrist, out of no where, throwing harsh things my way, like saying I could never be as good as my stupid father,"
"Don't worry okay? We;ll figure this whole thing out, get him out of the school for sure, he obviously has anger problems, and he jumped you, not good, are you going to be okay?"
"I think so," she said, giving him a hug, "Thanks to you, I love you Luke,"
"I love you too Trin,"
