OTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTH

Before he went back to the gym to change, he stopped by his house to get his ipod. Whenever he was getting ready for a game, he always listened to his ipod. And when he was really worked up he listened to Mosh by Eminem. Everytime he heard that song, he got in the zone, like he was getting ready for the fight of his life, and in this case, it practically was.

He walked up his driveway and to his surprise Brooke was there.

"Brooke? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?"

"I could ask you the same thing. BUt yeaa, i am, but i wanted to talk to you first."

"Look if this is about Luc--"

"No, i just wanted to apologize. I over reacted when you were ignoring me. I'm thankful that you're looking out for me, i really am. BUt i need to figure this out on my own."

"I know, which is why i should be the one apologizing. Look, i haven't been in your life for two years, i had no right to be mad. But just be careful ok? Cause i have alot of people on my hit list and i really don't feel like adding another name," Kyle joked.

"Yes, i'll be careful. So, best friends?"

"Hmmm yeaa, best friends," Kyle said.

"So, you really hate that Kodiaks captain don't you?"

"Oh Brooke you have no idea. It's a long story, i'll explain it to you later.

"You better. He was kinda hot."

"Don't even go there B.Davis.

"Well i believe i just did K.Sammet."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors

There was truth in every bit of this song.

Kyle jogged through the parking lot, trying to rid his mind of everything that was bothering him. You can't play a good game without having a clear head.

While the guys were in the locker room togethr, joking around before getting on the court, he always liked to be alone.

After about five minutes he headed into the locker room, where all his teamates were getting ready. Trainers were putting wraps around player's knees and ankles, and others were just listening to their ipods, trying to get rid of the nerves.

"So, i know how when players leave their jersey just kind of gets thrown away, but i had a feelings you'd be back so," Nathan threw a blue and white jersey at Kyle. It had Sammet on the back and then number 24 on the back.

"Wow thanks, i was wondering what would happen to this after i left," Kyle laughed.

"Yeaa well that's one of the two things the team saved of yours."

"What's the other thing?" Kyle asked. Nathan then threw him a blue and white headband with the number 24 on it.

"No wayy dude," Kyle laughed. When he was on the Ravens, he was the only guy who wore a sweatband on his head for some reason. His dad even had 20 sweatbands custom made just for him, a guilt present as Kyle liked to call it.

"Yea, you should wear it. Just like old times."

"You bet, and thanks. It's nice to know that someone never forgot me."

"I should be thanking you. I was pretty cocky before, but there's no way we could even survive this if it wasn't for you."

"Don't worry about it. Just set up those allie oops for me alright." Kyle teased.

As Kyle slipped his jersey over his head, memories came rushing back to him. Getting ready for big games and winning, partying right after.

He slipped his basketball shoes on and took his arm band and slipped one on his forearm and grabbed another and put it on his other arm, this time of his bicep. Then he took his headband and put it over his head then looked in the mirrior. He looked the same as he did in junior year, except more muscular and taller.

He was ready.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Lucas fniished getting ready he headed outside to be with Brooke for a couple of minutes. He was ecstatic that they were back together. Nothing could get better, except them winning this first game.

"Hey Pretty Girl."

"Hey Luke," Brooke said as she kissed him. So far things with her and Lucas had been going good. They were only together for a few hours but it was a start in Brooke's book.

She still wasn't completely ready to trust him yet, but she wanted to start over.

"So, are you nervous at all?"

"Yeaa but not for me since im not playing." Lucas was still part of the team, but there was no way he would be able to play in a game and be alright after.

"Well it's better to not play at all then be dead," Brooke said sternly.

"I know, i just miss it alot. Basketball was my life."

"Yeaa it sucks for you, but as long as your team wins that's all that matters right?"

"You're right." Brooke always had a way of making Lucas feel better. Even when Keith died Brooke had a way of making him feel like his whole world wasn't going completely out of whack.

"Good, so i've been needing to talk to you.."

"About?"

"Kyle."

"Oh, what about him?"

"Well, i was wondering what you thought about him?" Brooke asked.

"Umm, he's alright i guess."

"Look, i knwo that you might be a little upset that he took your spot, but Kyle was once a really big part of my life, of Nathan's life. And now that he's back in our lives, i want you to be ok with him and vice versa."

"I understand, i just don't think he liked me all that much."

"He's just looking out for me. He always has been. It's just that he heard about everything that happened, so he's a little bit reluctant, but he'll come around. I know it."

"Well i trust your judgment, so i'll give it a chance."

"Thanks. It's really important that you all get along."

"Anything for you. Listen the game starts in like 10 minutes so i gotta get back to the locker room."

"Alright, tell Ky and Nate i said good luck!" They kissed and Lucas left to go back to the locker room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is everybody ready to rumble?!?!?!" Dan Scott yelled into the microphone.

"I can't believe the school asked your dad to present the game," Kyle mumbled to Nate.

"Me neither, i thought they learned from last time."

Dan introduced the Kodiaks, who were met with some boos and some cheers.

Then he went on to intruduce the Ravens. This was always when Kyle got really really nervous, and it wasn't just because of the game, he was self conscious. He always imagined him running past the cheerleaders and his teamates and then tripping or something. And his pride was too big strong for that.

"Postitioned as small forward, number 23, Nathan Scott!!!" Nathan ran through the cheerleaders and the team and took his place at the end of the line.

Kyle started rolling his neck and swinging his arms, getting ready to be called out. This was the part he hated. The announcer would always wait until the crowd was quiet until he introduced the last player. After five seconds Kyle heard absolutely nothing.

"And last but not least, returning back to his hometown, positioned as point guard, number 25, Kyle Sammet!!!!" As Kyle ran through he heard alot of boos but then he heard alot of cheers. HIs adrenaline was pumping, he was ready.

It wasn't until then that he realize that all the lights in the gym were cut off, except a few show lights being moved around by stage crew. Everybody knew what was at stake, the title of being the best in the east. And it added even more excitement that Kyle was apart of both teams. Now he would be playing against his own former teamates.

"Kyle, you're gonna be there for the toss up," Nate said to him.

Kyle made his way to the center for the toss up. He looked up and saw that John was picked for the Kodiaks.

"Shake hands," the referee said.

"So much for being friends huh?"

"Kyle, it's not like that, Aaron was just--"

"I don't wanna hear it." Kyle said as he and John did their own handshake.

The ref tossed the ball in the air and Kyle jumped as high as he could and tossed it behind him.

Nathan caught it and passed it to Skills who made a lay up.

Tommy rebounded the ball and passed it to Jordan. As Nate went to guard him he passed it to AJ, who was guarded by Kyle.

"I thought you leaving was bad enough, now you're playing against your own friends," AJ said as he dribbled the ball.

"I wouldn't be talking, you're the one who had the idea in the first place," Kyle said.

AJ turned and shot for a three pointer but it bounced off the rim.

"Told ya you should've practiced those three pointers," Kyle said as he brushed past AJ.

Skills rebounded the ball and passed it to Nathan. He looked to Kyle and winked as a signal. Nathan shot the ball over the hoop, it would've been an airball, if Kyle hadn't of dunked it in for an allyoop. Hundreds of 'ohhhs' were heard throughout the gym.

John passed the ball to Aaron, who shot it in for a three pointer.

"This is gonna get ugly fast," Nathan said to Kyle.

"Oh yeaa."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The score was already 91-89, the Ravens trailing by two.

Aaron had the ball and was driving to the net for a dunk when all of a sudden Kyle came up and slammed it against the backboard. Kyle had never been to pumped in his life.

Nathan rebounded the ball and ran all the way across the court and shot it in for a three pointer.

Kyle looked at the scoreboard. They had one minute to score another basket or make sure the Kodiaks didn't, so they could win.

AJ faked left on Skills and bounced the ball behind him where Aaron was, who laid it up. They were losing by just one point.

Nathan quickly rebounded the ball and shouted, "7 seconds!!!" and threw it as fast as he could to Kyle.

Kyle heard people counting down until the buzzer rang. From what he heard he had five seconds to make a shot.

He could've just made an ordinary lay up. It was safe, easy, and secured the win. But he wanted to do something different, something exciting.

He reached the inside the paint with only three seconds to go. He jumped as high as he could, passed the ball btwn his legs, and dunked it in from behind his head just a half second until the buzzer sounded.

You could go deaf by all the noise in the gym. He jumped up in victory and slapped hands with Nathan. All the cheerleaders came out and celebrated while the Kodiaks headed to their locker room for a talk with their coach.

The celebrating went all the way to the locker room. The boys were whipping each other with towels and throwing water everywhere.

"You know what this means right?" Nathan asked Kyle.

"That it's 1 out of 3 for us in the tournament?"

"Yeaa that too, but it also means that there's a party at my house, well my dad's house?"

"He doesn't mind?"

"Well he's staying at the beachouse, so he doesn't really know, and my mom's still in rehab."

"Haven't been to one of those in awhile," Kyle laughed.

"Well get ready cause we're gon be getting crunk up in dat crib!!" Tim yelled.

"Just say 'it's gonna be a good party' Tim," Nathan said as he rolled his eyes and laughed along with Kyle.
