Z stood staring at Sky, watching him intently, even though she agreed to this game she didn't trust Sky as far as she could throw him. Straightening her posture z walked to her now soaked sweat pants and jacket picking them up with a gruff moan of annoyance.

Changing his completive demeanor Sky walked up to Z and gingerly placed his hand on the base of her back. "Let's call it a tie and go home," he said feeling the drops of rain soak through his clothes.

Z stared up at her competitor and pushed away his hand from her back. Just glaring at him she slowly walked backwards towards the gates of the basketball court. Her olive hand now masked by tendrils of rain grasped around the metal bars of the gate as she pushed it open.

"I walked," Z stated hoping Sky would get the hint; she would rather die than actually ask for help. Staying silent she waited by the gate for a response by Sky. Her eyes squinting to block the rain she turned seeing him walk closer to her.

Sky felt his socks drip with water in his shoes as he walked to her side. In a silent message both teens made a truce and walked away from the once heated game.

The drive to Z's house had been silent; before it rained her main mode of transportation had been a pair of comfortable walking shoes. This action unfortunately caused her to "ask" a ride from Sky. Not enjoying the silence one bit Z tried to occupy herself instead of thinking of the troubling quiet. Her eyes darted back and forth looking over the dashboard of the car, watching the trails of rain flow down the windshield before being swept away by the wipers.

Becoming bored of that she realized that they entered the freeway, which seemed to be empty. Finally Sky spoke, "You know, you don't look half bad wet."

Z's head shot t her left pointedly staring at Sky. That's when she realized that he had been staring at her wet form for some time now through the corner of his eye. Instead of lashing out and ripping his eyes from his sockets, Z analyzed his wet figure.

His blonde hair stuck to the sides of his face creating a childlike appearance compared to his usual cocky grin. Daring herself her gaze wandered farther down examining his body. His muscles became exposed through the soaked fabric, exciting Z just a bit. Breathing silently Z turned her gaze from Sky and sat patiently.

A chuckle emitted from Sky's lips as he felt Z's gaze on him, usually he liked the attention, but when it came from her he couldn't help but smile. Feeling friendly sky shook his head lightly letting the rain that clung to his hair splatter around the car.

Spitting, Z grumbled and shot daggers at Sky. "What was that?" Z asked, obviously angry. Her usually kind and spunky demeanor now withered away because of the teen jock next to her. She didn't know what to think about Sky but one thing was for sure, he really changed her from time to time. Since class he made her feel disappointed to vengeful, competitive to excited and now angry. Change really did suck.

"What it's not like you're not wet already, another drop or two won't change a thing," Sky replied to her angered question. Making Z fall for him was harder than he thought, most girls would have shrieked and kissed him if they were invited to play one-on-one b-ball. Sky Tate, number one at everything, except Karate. He's been a black belt forever and Jack Delgado comes along stealing his captain's position. Crushing Z's heart was going to be worth the pain it would cause Jack.

Seeing his point Z tried to calm herself down, she would no longer let him affect her. Deciding that he liked to see her angry and squirm beneath his words she decided to turn the tables. Reaching her hand over to grasp around Sky's right hand that held onto the stick shift Z cooed, "I'm sorry, I guess I'm still flustered about a tie."

She lied, he knew it, and he saw it written all over her face. Her actions did not faze him. He laughed softly as Z pulled her hand back seeing her house right outside the window. "We could have a rematch, you chose the time and place, ok?" Sky asked as Z opened the passenger door to let herself out.

Contemplating his words for a minute Z nodded and smiled, closing the door and racing to her room. Sky stared after her before revving his car and driving off.
