Lacy was sitting in her room after the game. She was grounded for the week. She wondered what to do with her time. She had already finished unpacking her boxes. She went to grab a book but did not feel like reading. Lacy knew that there was going to be a party at Nathan's for the players and cheerleaders. She reached beside her bed stand and grabbed her cell phone.
"Hey Brooke it's Lacy. Are you still going to Nathan's tonight."
"Yeah I was just leaving."
"Meet me out front."
Lacy changed her clothes and went to check on her parents. They were watching the news about to go to bed at any minute. Sneaking out of the house wasn't a first for her. She used to sneak out all the time, to hang out with her friends or to sleep over at Kyle's, her boyfriend. This was the first time that Lacy had thought about Kyle since she had moved here. They had broken up when she told him that she was moving. He said that he could not do the long distance relationship because he was afraid he might cheat. Lacy surprised herself by not being upset over it. Lacy froze at the sound of footsteps. She listened in silence for a moment. She heard her parent's bedroom door close. Lacy moved to her window, she opened it and climbed down the tree. She picked this bedroom because the tree was easy enough to climb up and down. When she hit the ground she took off to the direction of Nathan's.
When she got there she saw Brooke and Peyton waiting out front.
"Hey I thought that you would be grounded." Peyton said
"I am but that does not mean that I can't sneak out."
They laughed, linked arms and walked into the house. The party was at full speed. There was drinking and grinding. The music was blaring. Lacy noticed a lot of other people from school. She struggled to move to the kitchen. In the kitchen she saw Nathan, Lucas, Haley, Tim and a few others standing around drinking.
"We thought that you would not be here." Haley yelled over the music.
"I snuck out, don't tell my parents." Lacy laughed.
Lacy grabbed a cup that was full of liquid. She wasn't sure what was in the cup but she didn't care. She took at big drink and winced at the horrible taste.
"What is this?" She asked
"It's called The Tim" Tim said proud of himself.
Lacy made a face at him and poured the drink down the sink. Peyton handed her a bottle of Vodka. Lacy left Nathan's around 3 in the morning. She stumbled down the street not quite sure how to get home. Lucas offered to take her home but she knew that Brooke had plans for him later so she declined. She got to the front of her house and stopped to look at it. The tree was bigger then she remembered. She thought about going through the front door but she didn't have her house key and her parents always locked the door. Lacy tried to get up the tree but falling most of the time. Finally she got to the to and fell through the window. She grabbed her pillow to muffle her laughter. She closed her window and passed out on her bed.
The next morning Lacy woke up with the sun shining on her face. She groaned at her hang over. It was one of the worst that she has had. She wasn't completely sure how much she had drank the night before or what she had drank. She changed into some clean PJ's and walked down to her kitchen. She noticed a note on the table saying that her parents would be gone for the rest of the weekend. She grabbed some water and aspirin and started some Mac and cheese, her hangover food. After she was feeling better Lacy decided to go down to the Rivercourt. She was surprised not to see anyone there. While shooting her felt someone walking up behind her. She turned expecting to see one of the Rivercourt guys or even Lucas or Nathan instead she came face to face with Dan.
"May I help you?" She asked
"Now aren't you sweet." He laughed. Lacy just gave him a disgusted look.
"I actually came to see if your Dad liked his new job."
"You hunted me down just to ask me that?" Lacy asked
"Well I was just driving by and I saw you. Plus I know that your parents are out of town."
"He likes it just fine."
"Good, and the money is good."
"The money is fine, are we done here, I have practice in a half hour."
"I saw you play last night, your good."
"I know." Lacy said getting slightly annoyed.
"Here's the deal, I need you to quit the team."
"Excuse me!"
"You quit the team or daddy loses his job." Dan said turning serious.
"I don't think so."
"Your daddy may be president of Dan Scott Motors but I still employ him and I can drop him at any time."
"Screw you." Lacy said walking away.
"There is another way."
Lacy stopped and turned back to Dan with her arms crossed.
"Your dad can keep his job but I will have to show him these." Dan pulled out a bunch of pictures from his pocket. Lacy grabbed him out of his hands. They were of her sneaking out of her house, drinking and dancing at Nathan's party and then stumbling on her way home.
"Your stalking me now you pervert."
Dan laughed in his usual evil way.
"I just want you off the team, so Nathan can have his chance."
Lacy looked down and the pictures again. She looked at Dan and ripped the pictures into pieces. She threw the pieces in his face.
"You are a sick jackass." Lacy said angry and walked away. She could hear Dan laughing behind her.
Lacy walked into the gym to see some of the guy already warming up. She saw Nathan on the sideline talking. She walked up to him and pulled him aside.
"What the matter?" He asked
"Does Dan usually mean what he says." Lacy asked slightly shaken up.
"Did he threaten you."
"No I'm fine, I just need to know."
"If Dan is one thing, he is a man of his word."
"That's what I thought, Thanks Nate." Lacy walked away, Nathan looked at her and worried about what Dan said to her.
A/N: Review and tell me what you think. I also need some suggestions. Tell me what you want to see in the story.
