"Hey Hunt focus on the ball!" Coach called to Taylor as the basketball just missed her face.

"Sorry Coach!" said Taylor as she went to retrieve the ball. She was practicing for playoffs with Barington's senior team even though she was only a freshman. She got in only because she proved that she was fast and had great ball-handling skills.

After practice, Taylor went to the girls' locker room to change into her soccer uniform. She had a game today. "I just wish my dad would show up one time" mumbled Taylor. She really only did soccer because it was her dad's favourite sport. Taylor's real passion was basketball and karate.

As she was about to leave the locker room. Two girls walked in, Stella Matthews and Kelly Grun, and headed straight for Taylor.

"Ah great this won't be good." said Taylor

"Hey Taylor we've got something to talk about" said Grun as they both blocked the two exits of the locker room.

"I don't want any trouble okay just let me leave." Taylor said as she quickly started to think of an escape plan. These girls always wanted to cause trouble and loved bulling her.

"Listen Taylor, all lot of girls on your team like, you know the special candy,

and we supply it to them. You getting this Taylor?

"Um you guys are drug dealers?"

"Exactly! But the administration is starting to get suspicious of us and we don't want to get caught. So you are going to give your teammates the drugs for us okay? It'll be easy just keep in your little bag and they will pick it up. And then you give the bag back to us. Just don't get caught." said Stella

"You want me to smuggle drugs for you! Are you crazy? Do you know how much trouble I could get in? There is no damn way I will do this!

"Hey Hunt you have no choice! Do you remember the Freshman-Senior party? Yeah if you were a good child you wouldn't have gone to that. We have pictures of you that could ruin any or all of your sports careers." Kelly grinned as she pushed Taylor into a pile of dirty laundry.

"Oh no I made one bad mistake how did anyone see that? "Taylor thought to herself.

With Taylor on the ground her head pounding and the two girls hunched over her kicking her and laughing they left with one final remark: "Taylor, we'll give you the bag on Monday. Don't disappoint your team now or things will be much worse."

"Gosh I hate High school so much" winced Taylor as he got up and headed to Northpointe Field for her soccer game.

"If you could choose where would you go Stanford or Columbia Mom?" Tucker Jones asked his mother and he was eating breakfast.

"well, supposing you want to follow in Ben and I's amazing career paths I would try and go for Stanford . They have a fantastic Med school program I heard." Miranda told her son who was graduating this year, and she was really hoping he would become a surgeon.

"No Tuck, head to Princeton that's the place to be. Since that's where I went." Ben Warren told his stepson.

"Can't Ben that's way too far away from Kailee." Tucker said as he drank from his cup of coffee.

"Tucker you can't base your life choices after your girlfriend. It's your life you realize that?" Miranda remarked to Tuck who was starting to get uneasy.

"Mom I love her of course I want to be close to her so whatever place I choose I'm going to choose with Kailee."

"Boy eat your breakfast. You have to graduate first before you can go to college" said a frustrated Bailey.

"Okay Tuck you better go before your mother slices off your head." Ben said as he buttered his toast. "Just think to do what's best for you okay? Now go or you will miss the bus."

"Love you guys! And I'm not just saying that because i'm hoping you will buy me car." Tuck said as he kissed his mother goodbye and opened the door.

"In your dreams Tuck, in your dreams" Ben hollered at him. "There's this thing called a job; get one!" Miranda chuckled to herself as her husband closed the door.

"What are we going to do with him Ben?"

"Ah he'll be fine Miranda. He's Valid Victorian and he will find a great college." It's finding the money to pay for it that's going to be the problem at most!"

"I just want the best for him Ben". "I know honey we both do."They hugged each other.

"And what about Kailee?" Miranda looked at Ben for comfort.

"Personally Miranda I don't think they will last long if they are separated."

Miranda sighed as she checked her watch. "Ben we're going to be late let's go!"

As they rushed into their Merecedes and out of the Driveway, Miranda received an email on her phone, from Harvard University.
