'Whitey wants to see me about something to do with the team,' Nathan said.
'O.k. I will see you in second period,' Amy said.
Amy headed towards the tutoring centre and Nathan went into the Gym. That is when he saw him standing there with the coach. What did he want with him. This was his court and no one will join the team without his say so. Nathan marched over to the two. Whitey could see from the look of Nathan's face that he was not a happy bunny.
'Now, before you come in shouting the odds there is something you should remember that it is your fault in the first place that we are in this situation. Your little joyriding cost me four players, which I need to replace fast,' reasoned Whitey.
Nathan just looked at Whitey to say yeah I know that but why him.
'Lucas is a good basketball player nearly as good as you maybe it's in the genes,' Whitey said.
'Listen I don't like this as much as you do but Whitey says you need me so I am willing to help,' said Lucas.
That was it Nathan thought how dared him stand there and tells me I need him.
'For one I don't need you and either does the team. How dare you think that you know what I like because you don't know what I like? You don't even know me so don't try now. I refused to agree with this,' Nathan ranted.
'I didn't ask your permission Nathan. I am the coach and you're the player just you remember that while your thinking about how lucky you are to be even in the team,' Whitey said, he turned to Lucas, ' see you at practice.'
'Sure, coach,' Lucas shyly said.
Whitey walked towards his office leaving the very hostile Nathan and Lucas alone. This is going to be a fun season.
Nathan just looked at Lucas before he said 'don't think your going to get away with this. I will make sure your life is hell don't you forget it.'
Nathan walked out of the gym leaving Lucas dumbfounded. He needed to speak to someone. He didn't care about school or that he had a lesson right now he needed to talk to someone. He headed to the one person he could trust.
End of Flashback.
'I said what are doing? First you try to take over the team and now my girlfriend,' Nathan spat.
Peyton knew that Nathan was pissed and was about to punch Lucas so she stepped in front of him.
'Nathan, calm down he just got into a discussion with me and Brooke,' she said sounding reassuring to Nathan.
'Really, so where is Brooke is she invisible now' Nathan said patronizing.
'She was here but she had to go' Lucas said.
He didn't want Peyton to take the flak. He cared too much for that to happen. Nathan just stared at him.
'Was I talking to you. Did I even ask you to speak,' argued Nathan.
'No, but I was just saying she was here,' Lucas said looking at Peyton sympathetic.
That's when Nathan saw it. Lucas had a thing for Peyton.
'Oh I get it now,' Nathan said mockingly, 'you have a thing for Peyton. How cute!'
Peyton was speechless and looked at Lucas's face for a reaction.
'What,' Lucas said simply.
'It's o.k. It's understandable. Peyton is very attractive and very good in bed. I am sure that she wouldn't mind having sex with you just like your mother did with my dad and uncle Keith. After all we don't really know if your really Dan's,' Nathan said laughing.
That was it he thought he could call him whatever but his mum now that's just another story. That's when Lucas went after Nathan. Both were fighting. Peyton pleaded with them to stop. She looked to see if anybody was there. Then she saw Amy with someone who she thinks his name is Jake.
'Help, it's Nathan and Lucas. they are fighting,' shouted Peyton.
Amy and Jake saw what was happening in front of them and ran towards it. Jake pulled Nathan off Lucas and dragged him away from Lucas.
'What are you doing, Nate?' Amy said looking at Nathan.
'He went for me,' Nathan said, 'Let me go, Jake.'
Jake let Nathan go.
'Amy, take Nathan to calm down somewhere,' Jake said.
'Come on, you,' Amy said.
'This isn't over,' Nathan threatened.
Lucas stood there looking at Amy and Nathan walking away. Then he looked at Peyton. He could see the hurt in her eyes. He didn't know if it was the fight that was causing the pain or the fact that Nathan just went off with Amy rather then her. After all she is his girlfriend. Peyton caught Lucas' gaze. For a moment, they held their gaze but she broke away. She already had one Scott to deal with she didn't need another one. She turned and walked away from Lucas. Lucas felt a hand go on his shoulder he turned and saw it belong to Jake.
'Dude, the only advice I can give you is stay away from Peyton Sawyer if you still want to walk,' Jake said.
'Whatever,' Lucas shrugged.
'I heard you are going to be on the basketball team,' jake said trying to change the subject.
'Yeah,' lucas said.
'Well am Jake and I am going to say this now. Nathan owns that team and basically they follow Nathan like sheep so expect it to be easy,' warned Jake.
'Are you one of those sheep because you looked tight with Amy,' Lucas said.
'No, Amy is more my friend then Nathan is and she is a nice girl and no, I don't know why Nathan is her best friend.' Jake said.
'O.k. just checking,' Lucas said.
'Come let's go before a teacher sees you like that,' Jake said.
Both Lucas and Jake left the scene.
Outside, Nathan and Amy was sitting by the outside cafeteria tables.
'What the hell has gotten into you?' said Amy.
'Him,' Nathan scoffed, 'he has, anyway where have you been. I have been looking for you. I went in the tutoring centre and that girl was there whats her name Kayley or something.'
'Don't get me started on her,' Amy said.
'Why?' said a puzzled Nathan.
'Here's why,' Amy said.
