Chapter11 part 2- Give Me another Chance
After searching everywhere through out the locker room, she ran out to the gym. Seeing that there was only a 2 minutes left, she hid behind the bleachers watching the rest of the quarter.
While watching, she noticed that someone was wearing her number. She also noticed that it was none other then her twin brother, Jake. 'What the hell?' She thought, 'Why is he back and why is he playing basketball? Well at least this explains the stolen uniform.'
She was taken out of her thoughts when she heard the buzzer, indicating that it was half time. 'Okay, Haley! You gotta get Jake's attention.' Lucky for her the doors to their locker room were that way. So, when they came that way, she grabbed Jake's hand and pulled him under the bleachers with him.
Once he picked up his head, he looked over at his sister. More like who he thinks is his sister. "Haley?"
"Yeah, Jake it's me."
"Why are you dressed like that?" Then he sees the side burns and touches them. "Wow! Are those real?"
Haley whacks his hand from her face and says sarcastically, "Yeah! I'm growing sideburns now." She looks over at him dumbly. "No! They aren't real! And I'm dressed like this because I've been going to your school as you."
"What, Hales? That's crazy! I mean…….." and starts to trail off. Finally he gets his thoughts together and says, "Oh, that must be why that girl that kissed me knew me."
"Wait! You're the one that kissed Peyton?"
Jake shrugs his shoulders and says, "Um! Sure!" He pauses and puts his hands on Haley's shoulders. "It was amazing Haley!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Okay, just give me my uniform so I can play." Jake starts to take off his jersey very slowly, so Haley snaps. "Hurry up!"
After Haley changed and the team was coming back, she got up and left Jake there by himself. The new quarter was about to start so both teams got on the court. It was Tree Hill's ball first so Haley jogged down to her position. Nathan did the same. While passing Haley he whispered harshly to her, "Try not to suck this half."
"Oh trust me," she started smiling, "I won't."
He chuckles and jogs over to his spot.
Oh. And sucking was definantly not what Haley James did. I mean she didn't suck the times she actual got the ball, which wasn't often with Nathan being in the game. 'Damn it! He's still mad at me! Oh look he just got doubled team and lost the ball! Oh, and look I was wide open, but nope Natey can't swallow his anger and pass it to me! Ugh! I hate men!' Haley decided that now was a good a time as any to go and confront him.
She ran up to him and pushed him slightly. "Man, what the hell? I'm always open. Why won't you pass me the ball?"
"Like you care if we win this game. You don't care about anything." He pushed her back and so she pushed him even more.
She kept saying, "Nathan, I want to beat these guys. I need to beat these guys!"
He just rolled his eyes and said angry, "Man, I'm not going to pass you the ball because you don't deserve it. You tricked me so you could get Peyton. Dude, I saw you yesterday kissing her."
At this time everyone started gathering around. Even Peyton, Tim, and the Principal joined us.
"Nate, there is nothing going on between me and Peyton."
Then, Peyton came in. "What? Jake, what about that kiss last night?"
Nathan scoffs and starts to walk away. Haley hurries up and grabs his arm and turns him around. "Nathan, please just listen to me." 'You gotta do it, Hales!' She thinks. "I love you!"
Everyone around her looks on confused and freaked out.
"Wh…Wh..What?" Nathan asks backing up from Haley.
"Nathan, I'm Haley. I've been pretending to be my brother Jake, so I could play."
"No, you're not Haley. I know Haley, I kissed Haley, I'm going out with Haley. She wouldn't do this. Not to me."
'Okay! Ouch!' "Nathan you know me. You kissed me. You're going out with me."
Everyone around them starts to laugh so Nathan says, "No! I'm not!"
Haley decides this is the time she should probably start taking off the wig and side burns. "Yes you are." She takes off the wig and flips her hair back so it's down. "Nathan, I went under cover as my brother because they cut the girl's team at Cornwell. All I wanted to do was play. Please you have to believe me!"
"No! Just because you have long hair doesn't mean you're a girl!" Haley looks at him as if he's crazy, but then lifts up her shirt so everyone can see her chest.
Lucas whispers to one of his fellow team mates. "Is it just me or does this game of basketball have more nudity in it then it normally does?"
Haley looks around to make sure everyone sees, then pulls her shirt down. "Okay! Now do you believe me?" Nathan just nods his head still taken back from Haley's actions.
Then, Peyton steps in, "Wait so if you're not Jake, then where is he?" Haley shrugs her shoulders along with everyone else.
"Well, he's probably halfway to China by now after showing us his twiggle and doodleberries!" says the principal.
"Present!" comes a voice from behind the teams. And there appears Jake.
"Oh!"
Haley, then, looks at Nathan. "So can you give me another chance?"
Nathan looks up to her and starts shaking his head. "It's like coach says to us before every game. 'Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. And some have greatness thrust upon them.' The only way to achieve greatness is to play as a team. And…… we wouldn't have a team without you being a part of it." He smiles at her, in which she returns.
The crowd erupts in applause, until someone ruins it.
"Wait! Girls can't play on the boy's team." Haley groans. The one and only Coach Dan comes out of the crowd of players holding up a rule book and handing it to Coach Whitey. "I'm afraid you'll have to forfeit. Read the rule book."
Coach Whitey looks at the rule book that was shoved in his hands, then tears it. "What rule book? Here at Tree Hill, we don't discriminate based on gender."
Coach Dan looks away embarrassed. "Now," Coach Whitey yells, "let's play some basketball." Everyone cheers and Whitey walks away passed the principal and says under his breath, "Like a bunch of girls………."
Hearing the coach say that, the principal takes the megaphone and repeats, "Now, let's play some basketball like a bunch of girls!"
It was now the 4th quarter with only a minute left on the clock. Nathan and Haley both were playing amazing! They were all really working as a team. They were up by one.
swoosh
Make that down by two. Justin just made a three. Of course he was being a cocky S.O.B., but Haley tried her best to just forget about him. She had to win this game for not just her, but for her whole school. Well, her brother's school.
Lucas caught the ball from Skillz, the other guard, who threw it in. He started down to the center line, looking for an open person her sees Skillz and throws it to him. Immediately he is guarded so he throws it to Nathan. Nathan dribbles it up, so he is at the top of the 3 point line. He picks up his dribble and is double teamed. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Haley at the three point line with a perfect shot ahead of her. Nathan throws the ball to her and she puts up the shot.
Everyone looks on some hoping that the shot goes in, some hoping it won't.

'Please go in!' is all Haley and Nathan can think.

Swoosh
Mouth, the announcer, screams. "It's in! It's in! The Ravens win it!"
The crowd jumps up and onto the gym floor, a huge crowd forming around Haley. Lucas and Skillz go up to her and pick her up so she is up on their shoulders, above everyone's heads. She looks around totally amazed at everything.
When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you in my arms forever
Out of the corner of her eye she looks over the crowd and sees Nathan. Their eyes met, so she softly smiles and waves.
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It's my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
Nathan slowly looks away, not acknowledging her smile or her wave. Yeah she did win the game for them, but he couldn't forgive her for what she did, not yet. He could give her another chance at the game, but at their relationship, he wasn't so sure. He picks up his bag and walks away from the huge crowd.
So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold forever
Haley looks away defeated. She knows that he's upset she just thought that after he passed her the ball he had forgiven her. 'Guess not.' She thinks. While everyone around her cheers for their win. Haley puts on a fake smile, trying to hide her sadness of her loss.
