Seventeen years ago, Dan Scott had gotten Karen Roe pregnant with twins just after they left high school but chose basketball and his college scholarship over his pregnant girlfriend and future babies, three months later he got another woman pregna...
Another week had pasted since the father son charity game which had proved to be more eventful and more illuminating than the twins would have thought, today was another game day for the team but tonight was different since it was the first game where the team would be playing away from their familiar court at their high school meaning that it was the twins' first time ever playing an away game with the team causing their anxiety to be hurt than normal. Things between Lucas and Haley were still a little tense due to the whole Nathan thing placing Alex in the middle of it all despite the fact that she was trying to keep out of it all as best as she could each which wasn't easy when they both took every opportunity to talk to her about the other

" Hey stranger" Haley said as she noticed that Alex and Lucas were currently walked towards each other as they headed home for the day as Alex wondered if this was going to be as awkward as it seemed
" Hmm, no stranger than you" Lucas said making the point that she was avoiding him as much as he was avoiding her causing Alex to roll her eyes as she thought about how all of this was blown out of proportion
" and somehow I'm still the strangest one here" Alex said try to use humour to try and defuse the tensions between them three of them as this was unknown territory for them since they always got on
" you'll always be the strangest one in this trio. Hey, did you get my message last night?" Lucas said remembering that he had taken the first step to fend their friendship by calling her last night
" Nah, I was, uh, at the library late. Midterms" Haley said knowing that while they had basketball to focus their attention in relation to school, Haley always placed her focus on her tutoring and schoolwork
" Yours or Nathan's?" Lucas said unable to resist the urge to make the dig about her tutoring Nathan as he was convinced that there was more to this than just her tutoring him as she was still wearing the bracelet
" you just can't this go, can you?" Alex said thinking about how much he was hating the fact that everything was changing in their lives and in their friendship in ways that they couldn't have imagined
" Both, actually" Haley sad knowing that she wasn't going to hide the fact that she was tutoring Nathan, just like she tutored so many different student and tried to help them with their schoolwork
" Well, good luck with that" Lucas said dismissively as he still thought that her tutoring Nathan was a bad idea despite that everyone else seemed to think that there was nothing major going on between them
" Luke, you're cool with this, right? I mean, last week when you said you didn't trust me..." Haley said remembering how much his words had her when they spoke during half time break at the father son game
" you said that? You didn't tell me that you said that to her?!" Alex said as she hit her brother on the shoulder as she realised that he had inconveniently left that part out when he had told Alex about it
