It has been two weeks since the dinner party at Kristen's house. Two weeks since they last talked; sure they have seen each other, and talked but they haven't seriously talked about the kiss. Nathan was out playing some basketball at a nearby park Haley walked up she smiled knowing how Lucas and him loved this game.

Haley asked, 'So Scott you think you might teach me the game?"

Nathan gave her a puzzled look, "Really?"

Haley said, "Yeah."

Nathan smiled and spoke, "Sure, but it is going to take more than a day."

Haley replied, "I don't mind."

So the next week they practiced everyday for about four hours a day. Haley picked up the game rather quick probably because she watched the game so much. So Nathan began teaching her the technique and his own little tricks.

After two weeks Nathan decided it was time to put her in a game. Nathan met up with Stephen, Talan, Deiter, Trey, Pulster, and Mike, Nathan stated, "Let's pick teams."

Stephen remarked, "We're kind of uneven."

Nathan replied, "I have another teammate coming" Haley walked up and joined the guy "There she is."

Stephen questioned, "Haley is playing with us?"

Mike asked, "Is this a joke?"

Haley puzzled, "What you boys afraid a girl is going to take you down?"

Stephen responded, "Of course not let's play."

So the game began Haley James with the ball and Nathan Scott's team nurses a big winning streak. There it goes 14-13 game point for team Scott. Mike with the ball…stolen by Haley James team Scott is pulling through. Haley passes the ball to Nathan, but he is being covered by Stephen and Mike. Nathan finds Haley on the wing James for the game and the win.

Mike stated, "Good game Haley you learn fast."

Haley smiled and said, "I had a good teacher."

Nathan shook his head no and remarked, "No you're a natural Haley you could've done it without me."

Haley smirked, "Yeah you're right I could've" Nathan laughed. "But I am glad I had your help" Nathan and Haley smiled at each other.

Mike asked, "So you ever going to ask her out?" Haley threw Mike a look "What? I like him now you've got my blessing. Besides we're all sick of you two flirting with one another and not doing anything about it."

Haley just stood there in disbelief looking at Mike and the guys. Nathan stated, "Mike's right Haley" Haley glanced at Nathan "Haley how about dinner tonight at eight?"

Haley just stood there not really sure what to say. Stephen whispered, "This is where you accept the offer."

Haley remarked, "I know how to accept a date offer" She shot an annoyed look at Stephen. Than she focused on Nathan again "Yes Nathan I would like to go to dinner with you."
