''You said, "oh"? Hold on

''You said, "oh"? Hold on. Peyton say, "I'm in love with you," and you say, "oh."'' I deadpanned, looking at my twin, as he finished getting ready for the championship match.

''Nice work, player.'' Skills scoffs, making Kam laugh as well.

''She caught me by surprise. What was I supposed to say?''

''Anything but that.'' Kam exclaims, shaking his head.

''Not "oh." Okay, what else did you say?''

''I mumbled something about us being friends, and then I left.''

''And you believe that... that you and P. Sawyer are just friends?'' Skills asks.

"There is no way you and Peyton are just friends, Luke. You're like drawn to each other.'' I added, slipping on some lip stick.

'' Look, you know what? For a long time, I thought that maybe we'd be something more. It just never seemed to work out. So at a certain point, you got to face the fact that it's not meant to be.''

''Even if she wants more?''

''She's just a little confused... she's had a hard year, and I happened to be there to rescue her a few times.'' Luke looked at his long time friend as he opened his mouth.

''So maybe you're the one who confused... 'cause you didn't just happen to rescue her a few times. You didn't just happen to run back into school that day or save her from psycho Derek. Peyton happened to be there, but you chose to be there. So maybe you ought to think about that.''

I looked at the bald boy beside.

''He went back in that school for me too, not just Peyton.''

''Hold your jealousy inside B. Its not cute.''

''Thanks for letting us ride on the bus, Whitey. I couldn't handle being in a car with five drama queens right now.'' I smile at the older man, who grinned back.

''You two are some of my favorite students. Don't tell anyone I said that.''

''You're secret is safe with us.'' Kam grinned, leading the way onto the bus.

Whitey was letting the two of us ride on the team bus while everyone rode in cars. In this case, Bevin, Rachel, Haley, Peyton and Brooke were all riding together, and I couldn't handle it. The twins were with mom, riding up here.

"Haley?''

I open the door to see her in real bad shape.

''Oh baby..' I sighed, helping the girl up.

Soon we were all at the hospital.
''How you doing, Haley?'' Brooke asked.

''Not so good.''

My arms were wrapped around my sister in law, trying to hold her up.
