easons 1 and 2

He was mostly seen in the river court in the first 2 season to serve as a reminder of Lucas old life, for instance telling him that he used to like how he was before joining the Ravens when Lucas told him that he didn't like what he had become. He also got nearer to Lucas's new friends Brooke Davis, Peyton Sawyer and Nathan Scott for instance taking part in the dare night organized by Felix Taggaro.

eason 3

In season 3 he was chosen by Bevin, a cheerleader, to be her fantasy boy and began a relationship with her, although they kept playing tricks on each other as a seduction game. He is also a bit estranged as he is from a poor background while most of his friends are rich. He was one of those to get trapped in the tutor centre during the school shooting and thusly went to Rachel Gatina's country home where he bonded a little more with the main cast.

In season 4, Skills becomes a regular and joins the Ravens thanks to Lucas in hopes to get a basketball scholarship. During his first game with the Ravens, Skills is benched but is eventually allowed to play when Whitey overhears a conversation between him and Nathan. Whitey decided to put Skills in the game to see what he his worth and Skills instantly has great chemistry with Nathan, which helps the Ravens win. He helps Lucas sort out his feelings and develops a teasing/caring relationship with Peyton.
