The bus ride to the game was silent. Whitey insisted on a quiet bus ride to make sure everyone was focused on tonight's game. It was the game that determined whether or not the Ravens went on to the championship. It was killing Lacy that was she wasn't able to play. She knew it was for the best; her back and ribs were killing her from sitting so long. Lacy needed a song that would make her feel better. She picked up her I-pod and switched to the song "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira. She smiled when she heard the beginning cords. Lacy felt someone sit next to her. She looked over to see Tim.

"Hey Dim." Lacy said using Brooke's nickname for him.

"Hey." He said whispering.

They sat in silence for a while.

"Did you want something?" Lacy asked him.

"Uhh umm yeah."

Again silence.

"Well what is it?"

"You know prom is coming up and I don't have a date and you don't have a date so I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" Tim asked

"Oh wow, I'm honored." Lacy said taking her headphones out of her ears.

"So what do you say?"

"Well um Ok sure why not."

Tim smiled a goofy smile at her. Lacy had all she could do to make a fake smile. He left and went back to his seat. Nathan soon came and sat next to her.

"Did I just hear you say yes to taking Tim to the prom?" He asked leaning in next to her.

"Yeah, how bad can it be?" Lacy said putting her headphones back on.

"Yeah how bad can it be?" Nathan echoed.

The bus finally stopped in front of the school. The boys went to the locker room to change and Lacy went to the bench and sat watching everyone file into the gym. She turned her body when she saw Dan come in her with her parents. She wished that her father would see past his act.

"Hey honey the game wont be the same with out you." Her father said coming up to her.

She stood up and gave him a quick hug along with her mother.

"I know but the guys will be amazing."

"Especially Nathan." Dan said butting in.

"And Lucas." Lacy said giving him a quick glare.

They were interrupted when the guys came running out to start warm-ups. Lacy's parents and Dan took their seats. Lacy watched has they warmed up.

"Check over these plays and tell me what ones you think will be best." Whitey said as he threw his playbook at her. She picked it up and looked it over.

"None of them." She finally said. Whitey turned and looked at her.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"None of them have me in them." She joked.

He narrowed his eyes at her.

"Fine Play 7 would be the best. We have never used that one. They will never see it coming."

"Good idea." He blew his whistle and called the team over.

"Alright boys…and Lacy. This is it. We lose this game we don't move on we win and we have a chance to win the championship. Play well and keep your eyes open. Watch your teammates and make me proud. Hands in."

"RAVENS!" They yelled in unison.

It was the end of the forth quarter and the Ravens needed one more basket to win. Lucas passed the ball to Nathan who was automatically double-teamed. He looked around and saw that Tim was the only one who was open. Nathan passed him the ball, he caught it and with five seconds left on the clock he shot. The ball rolled on the rim when then buzzer went off the whole gym was silent. After a second it went in making the whole gym go crazy. Lacy sprung to her feet and ran out to join the rest of her teammates.

"Hey I heard your going to the prom with Tim." Peyton said coming up to Lacy in the hall the next day.

"Yeah he asked, I had no one else to go with." Lacy said taking a notebook out of her locker.

"That's the spirit." Peyton joked

"Want to go shopping with me after school?"

"I cant I promised that I would help Haley move in with Nathan."

"Haley is moving in with Nathan?" Lacy asked

"Yeah you didn't know."

"Obviously not." Lacy said slightly offended that Nathan or Haley didn't tell her.

Peyton gave her a pat on the shoulder and left for her next class. Lacy walked into English and sat next to Lucas.

"You look like someone ran over your puppy." He said

"No I'm fine."

"Hey Lacy can I talk to you?" Cody a boy in her English asked.

"Yeah sure."

Cody looked over at Lucas.

"Alone?"

Lacy and Cody walked over to a corner of the room. Cody was a shy and mysterious type that had an amazing talent with writing. He was tall with brunette hair and green eyes. His body wasn't muscular but he wasn't lanky either.

"Will you to go to prom with me?" He asked with his hands in his pocket and shoulders all tense. Lacy thought about Tim for a second. She would rather go with Cody, Tim would understand.

"I would love too." She gushed. Cody relaxed and gave her a half smile.

She went back to her seat ignoring the look that Lucas was giving her. It was the look that said he wanted to know what had just happened.

After school Tim ran up to Lacy's locker.

"Hey Lace I thought we could get together and organize prom details."

"About that, Tim some else asked me to prom." Lacy said ignoring Tim's glance.

"You said no to him right?" When Lacy didn't say anything Tim knew his answer.

"You said yes to him." Tim said obviously hurt.

"Tim, he is more my type. I'm…"

"No don't even say you're sorry. I may not be the smartest kid around or the cutest but I usually know what I like. I liked you Lacy…a lot and I was excited when you said yes to me. So don't even bother saying your sorry." Tim said then walked away.

"Tim!" Lacy yelled after him. She slumped her shoulders when he didn't look back. She slammed her locker and walked out of the school.

"Remind me again why I am helping you move." Peyton said carrying a box up the stairs.

"Because you love me." Haley said right behind her.

"This time I am serious when I say that I am never helping anyone move again."

"Stop whining Peyton and keep moving." Nathan said passing them on the stairs.

After the last box was in the house all three collapsed on the couch.

"I never knew you had so much stuff." Nathan said with his eyes close.

"That was so heavy." Peyton added.

"It was mostly clothes." Haley said

Nathan shot her a glare.

"Where are you going to put all those clothes?" He asked

"I will just move your stuff out. Water anyone." Haley said as she got up.

Peyton let out a laugh.
