It had been about a week since the encounter with Dan. Nathan and Lucas had tried asking her numerous of times what Dan had done to her and Lacy kept playing it off has if it was nothing. Today was another game day; this time it was an away game. The team was dressed in their usual formal way and the cheerleaders were in there uniform. Lacy almost decided not to go the game but thought that it would give to much power to Dan and Whitey. Lacy was at the soda machine trying to get a water.

"Come on you stupid machine. Give me my God Damn water!" Lacy said shaking the machine.

"That no way to talk to a innocent machine." A voice said behind her

"Innocent my ass." Lacy said turning around. She faced a boy around her age standing in front of her.

"Logan Geller" He said extending his hand

"Lacy Everson." She said shaking it

"I'm new to town." He said feeling the need to point that out

"Me too" Logan was about to say more when he felt a hand slap him hard on the shoulder

"Hey Lace, who's this guy." Robbie one of her teammates said

"That's Logan, he's new to town."

"What's he doing talking to you." Tim asked

"Trying to meet knew people."

"He can meet new people else where." Another player said

"Alright guys that enough, I'm fine get out of here." Lacy said pushing the guys away

"Boyfriends?" Logan asked rubbing his shoulder

"No teammates, they like to keep me safe."

"Teammates?"

"Yea, I am on the basketball team."

"But Tree Hill only has a boys basketball team."

"I know, I'm on it. Hey there's a game tonight, it's away and the whole school is going to be there so you have to show up to be cool. You should stop by."

"To see you play, I think I will." Logan said running his hand against Lacy's arm

"Hey keep your hands off her!" Tim yelled running toward them but tripping on his way over.

"I have to go." Lacy ran in front of Tim and turned him so that they were walking the other way

"He was distracting you from your game."

"The game that I'm not playing in." Lacy walked Tim to his next class and met up with Brooke.

"I have a problem." Lacy said coming up to Brooke's locker

"Pregnant again, you should get that under control." Brooke joked

"Ha, your funny no it's bigger then that. I met this amazing guy, he is new to town but he is so cute and sweet."

"Yeah I can see your problem." Brooke said

"No, my problem is that he is coming to the game tonight and I can't play."

"Talk to Whitey then and convince him to let you play, tell him that you're his secret weapon and he needs you to win."

"Brooke you know that wont work."

"Yeah I know." Lacy pouted

"Sorry, couldn't help but over hear." Haley said walking up next to them

"It's no problem."

"Why don't you talk to your captains, they have pull with Whitey."

"Haley you are amazing! You have the most amazing husband and your boyfriend is great." Lacy said pointing to each of the girls. She ran off to find Lucas and Nathan.

Lacy was in her Math class, she was going to meet up with Nathan and Lucas later. She was half asleep when something was thrown at her. She looked to see that it was a folded note. She opened and read it. It was a note from Logan asking if she wanted to go out after the game. She turned to him, smiled, and turned back around. After class Logan ran up to her.

"Is the coast clear?" he asked. Lacy looked around and nodded her head.

"What's your answer."

"To what?" Lacy said playing innocent

"To my note."

"Oh that, hhmm I have to think about that."

"Come on, it's a simple answer."

"Now don't push me boy." Lacy laughed

"If the Ravens win then I would love to go out with you."

"If they lose?" Logan asked

"I might just need a shoulder to cry on." Lacy said. Logan watched her run over to Nathan and jump on his back.

"Hey captain, I need a favor from you." Lacy asked still on his back. Nathan shrugged her off and turned to her.

"NO!"

"I didn't even ask you anything."

"I am not going to talk to Whitey for you and neither is Lucas."

"Nathan! Please."

"No, and your only asking me so you can impress that Logan guy."

"How do you know about him." Nathan pointed to Tim and Lacy glared at him.

"Fine I will talk to Whitey myself." Lacy stormed off

Brooke and Lucas were walking down the hall hand in hand.

"I thought we could do something after the game." Brooke said

"Like what."

"I don't know, a little you, a little me, some nice music and a bed." Brooke said in a low voice.

"Hmm sounds nice, how about some strawberries and champagne to go with that."

"Lucas Scott I like the way you think." Brooke laughed. They stopped in front of her class. He kissed her forehead then her lips. He then walked to his next class.

Nathan and Haley were sitting outside discussing what they would do after the game. They decided on a walk around the town then stopping at the beach to look at the stars.

"I like where were going Haley." Nathan said to her.

"So do I." She leaned in and they kissed.

Lacy walked into Whitey's office

"Coach we need to talk."

"What is it Lacy?"

"I need to play in tonight's game." Whitey turned and looked at her.

"Give me one good reason why I should play you."

Lacy thought about all the reason she needed to play. She needed to prove herself, she wanted to impress Logan, and she loved the game. Then the best reason came to mind.

"Because Dan Scott doesn't want me to." Whitey sat in his chair

"What does Dan have to do with this."

"He threaten my fathers job if I didn't quit." Lacy said sitting back in her chair.

"Fine you can play…but only because I hate Dan. You mess up once and you're out of the game."

"Thanks coach!" Lacy said, she walked out of the office and collided with Nathan

"What did he say." Nathan asked.

"I can play."

"Good because we need you out there." Lacy smiled at him and walked away. From the distance he heard Lacy,

"Boys, put some clothes on there's a lady present." Nathan shook his head and laughed. He walked into Whitey's office to discuss the game plan for tonight.

Lacy went to find Brooke but she saw that her and Lucas were having a moment instead she was pulled aside by Haley.

"Hey Nathan said that you can play tonight."

"Wow word gets around fast."

"Actually he just text me." Haley said showing Lacy her phone.

"Want to hang out after school?" Lacy asked

"Would love to but I have to tutor then get ready for the game, you could ask Brooke."

"No her and Lucas are going to spend some time together before the game." Lacy heard the bell ring that said the day was over. She said goodbye to Haley and left the school. She headed to her car; when she got their she saw an enveloped on her windshield. She opened it and saw the pictures that Dan has shown her earlier. She looked around the parking lot but didn't see anyone. Under the pictures was a note.

See you at the game.

Lacy scanned the parking lot again. She got into her car, threw the envelope in her passenger seat and drove home.
