Claudia and Nathan were walking down the apartment complex stairs talking, Claudia was wearing a fall out boy crop top that clung to her body and a long black skirt. She had her famous crotchet bag that she had over her shoulder.
"Can you talk to your mom? Maybe she can help." Claudia asked, they were having money issues and Claudia wanted to get financial help.
"Come on, Claudia. You've seen my mom. She can't even help herself right now." Nathan replied and he was right, Deb was a junkie mess. Claudia looked down anxiously.
"I hate to say it but what about your dad?" Claudia asked and Nathan shook his head.
"Look, Claudia, I know that we're in trouble financially right now but I'm gonna take care of it, I promise. As soon as the basketball season end, I'm gonna get a job, but I'm not gonna go to my dad for anything." Nathan explained and Claudia didn't know how long they could wait.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I just need some security Nate." Claudia replied. "I mean we are having a family and I want that hot guy from the press conference to tell me everything will be okay again." Claudia smiled as she looked up at Nathan.
"It will." Nathan replied sincerely and then he remembered something. "Oh, and I know that we're gonna eventually need to get a car so I figured until then, you can ride with me." Nathan explained holding an ugly helmet. Claudia looked at it in shock and horridness. There was no way she was wearing that.
"Nathan that is literally so ugly and I am not getting on that." Claudia stated laughing a little.
"You said motorcycles were hot and plus you love motorcycles." Nathan smirked trying to tempt Claudia but she wasn't budging.
"Yeah but didn't you not get into a crash." Claudia retorted back with a raised brow and Nathan rolled his eyes. "I am also carrying a human being in my stomach so I will pass." Claudia continued as she pointed down to her flat stomach. "Also that is one ugly helmet, I mean if I was to wear it you would divorce me." Claudia joked and Nathan laughed.
"Come on, it's so Garden State. Besides, you were the one that needed a helmet to ride a motorcycle..." Nathan replied just as they saw the motorcycle being taken by the pound. Nathan ran up. "Hey! Hey!" He called angrily but it was no use. Claudia sighed as she walked up to Nathan.
"Guess I am walking after all." Claudia muttered as she patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Nathan was waiting for bus. A car approached and stopped in front of Nathan. A man opened the window.
"What do we got here?" The creepy driver asked, Nathan looked confused. "The Ravens' star forward riding a bus. Someone wants to talk to you." The man continued as the back seat window opened to reveal another man.
"You know me?" Daunte asked and Nathan's face said it all, he had no idea who this man was. "I know you. Nathan Scott. Tree Hill's best power forward in 15 years. You averages 28 points a game. You just recorded your 14th triple-double this year. That, plus a wicked jump shot puts your old man to shame. How am I doing so far?" Daunte explained and Nathan was shocked that this man knows a lot about him, but after he is a Scott boy.
"Pretty good." Nathan replied monotoned.
"Daunte Jones." Daunte introduced as he smiled at Nathan.
"Hey." Nathan replied clutching onto his bag straps.
"How come you're not signing with Duke?" Daunte asked smirking, a really smug smirk at that.
"I never said I wasn't." Nathan replied cryptically and Daunte nodded his head.
