Lacy woke up the next morning with a bittersweet feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was excited by starting school now that she knew a few people but nervous at the same. She searched her unpacked boxes to find something cute to wear. She decided on her new jeans and blue tank top with an open black sweater over that. She left her hair down and gave it a wavy look. She lightly touched her face with make-up. Lacy walked down the stairs to find her mother in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Hey honey, ready for the big day."

"Yeah I guess, I'm kind of nervous."

"You have those people that you met yesterday."

"Yeah I know. I guess that I will be fine."

Lacy finished her breakfast, got into her car and drove to school. When she pulled into the parking lot she had trouble finding a spot to park in. It seemed like everyone had his or her own place to park. She finally found a spot got out and walked near the school. She saw Haley and ran up to her.

"Hey Haley."

"Lacy! Hey. You nervous about your first day."

"A little." Lacy looked at everyone that stood in the hallway. They all had their own clique that they belonged to. She hoped that she would fit in well enough. One guy caught her eye. He was tall, had dark hair and bright blue eyes.

"Who's that over there. The guy in the blue. He is really gorgeous."

"That's Nathan." Haley answered

"Nathan…Oh my god your Nathan, like your husband Nathan."

Haley nodded her head.

"Well this is awkward isn't it."

Before Haley could answer Lucas came up to them.

"Whitey gave a surprise drug test on us this morning and now five guys are off the team.. Now were short one player to make a full team."

"That's horrible, what's going to happen now." Asked Haley

"I don't know, maybe we can bring in the guys from the River court."

"Where's Whitey's office?" Lacy wondered

"Through the boys locker room." Answered Lucas.

She nodded and walked away. Lacy walked to the door of the locker room. Without thinking she opened the door and walked through.

"Cover up boys there is a lady coming through!" She shouted once she entered. Lacy heard various sounds of gasps, laughter and other remarks as she walked to Whitey's office. She got to the office door and knocked.

"I think your lost sweetheart, this is the boys locker room." Whitey said

"No I know exactly where I am." Lacy said as she sat down in a chair.

Whitey took interest and leaned toward her.

"I heard that your short basketball players and I'm your girl to fill that void."

"It's a boys team and you're a girl."

"Where does it say in your rule book that a girl cant be on a boys team, nowhere that where. In fact it is discrimination to decline me the right to at least try out."

"You put up a hard bargain."

"Let me a least try out so I can show you how good I am."

"Gym 3pm don't be late."

Lacy nodded her head and got up and left the office. The rest of the day went by quickly. She had Lucas, Brooke, Peyton or Haley in all her classes. She even had Nathan in a few. After school she changed into her gym clothes and headed to the gym. She opened the gym doors to find the whole basketball team in front of her. She walked up to Lucas

"What are you doing here?" She asked him

"I could ask you the same."

"I'm trying out for the team."

Lucas gave her an odd look. Lacy ignored it and looked at the rest of the team. She found Nathan and laughed.

"what's the matter?" Lucas asked

"I told Haley how hot I thought her husband was this morning. I didn't know that Nathan was Nathan when I saw him."

Lucas laughed at her

"don't get any ideas in your head. Its illegal to date your team mates anyways"

Whitey came into the gym and blew his whistle

"Line up. We have someone that wants to join are team." Everyone turned and looked at Lacy.

"Get up here." Lacy walked up to Whitey and turned to face the team

"I figured if you wanted to play with the guys you need to tryout with them so I can see how well you do."

Lacy nodded. Whitey broke them up into teams. Lacy was going against Nathan.

"Ready to get beat." Nathan said trying his best to intimidate her

"that's the best you got." Lacy laughed at him. He smirked. Once the game was started Lacy struggled a bit to keep up with the guys but once she found the rhythm of the other players she quickly began to guard shots and make some of her own. Whitey has to admit that she was amazing. Once the game was over,. Lacy' teamed ended up winning. Nathan came up to her

"Your good."

"I know, you're not to bad yourself."

Whitey gathered up the team said a few things to them and sent them home.

"Everson stay here." Lacy stopped and walked up to him.

"It may go against this schools tradition but what the hell. Next practice is tomorrow at five, don't be late."

"I made the team! Oh My God!" Lacy shrieked. "I can be like your Lady Raven now."

"Call yourself what you want, just don't be late."

Lacy ran outside the gym to find the team waiting for her.

"I made it."

Most of them came up to her to congratulate her and others walked away not sold on the idea of having a girl on the team.

"Lacy you're hot and good at basketball I want to date you and have you in my bed." Tim said. Lacy rolled her eyes and Lucas and Nathan gave him a look of disgust

"Sorry Tim, it's illegal to date your team mates." Lacy winked at Lucas then walked away.

"That girl is so cool." Tim said then walked away in a daydream.

Everyone else left leaving Lucas and Nathan.

"So a girl on the team." Nathan started

"Yeah were going to get mocked." They nodded their heads and walked off in different directions.
