In this chapter, Terra meets Adam after she rescued him from a school bully before trying out for the school's Hockey teams after which she became a Mighty Duck.
Chapter One: A Chance Meeting: Part 1 of 3:
As I was walking to my new school which just happens to be Eden Hall, a boy with short blond hair and blue eyes was getting out of his dad's car when someone decided to trip him right in front of me which made me see red. Right away, I ran over to the boy which got the bully to run away in fear. The boy who had been tripped looked up at me as he said the following words to me as he very carefully stood up, "Thank you for scaring that child off for me. My name is Adam Banks, by the way."
I smiled at Adam Banks as my long light brown hair fell down over my shoulders as I said to him in return, "My name is Terra Annie Lightwood. It is nice to meet you, Adam. That is something that I am not new to."
Immediately Adam Banks knew what I meant when I say those words as he nodded his head before saying to me, "You have been bullying before, I take it, then."
I simply nodded my head yes twice and then my best friends, Faith and Katie Riddle, came over at the same time and introduced themselves to Adam Banks by saying to him, "We are Terra's best friends. Our names are Faith Tina Riddle and Katie Luna Riddle. She also saved us both at one time and that was when we came best friends for life, right, Terra?"
Terra smiled as she said in agreement as she stared at Adam, "Yeah, that is correct, Faith and Katie. Good morning, by the way, you two. I need to get my class schedule from the headmaster. Do one of you want to come with me to the main office, please?"
Adam Banks very quickly said the following words to me as he also needed to get his class schedule from the headmaster as well, "I will come with since I also need to get my class schedule, Terra."
That got me to smile my usual smile as he held out his right hand to me which I placed my left hand in very carefully and together, we headed inside of Eden Hall towards the main office to get our class schedules from the headmaster. When the headmaster saw that we were holding hands as we both came up to him, he simply smiled at us as he handed us our class schedules in silence. Adam Banks asks the headmaster about the Hockey team tryouts for this school year to which the headmaster immediately said to him with his usual smile on his face, "They start today for both teams, Mr. Banks, by that you mention it. Mr. Conway and Mr. Goldberg are waiting for you over at the ice rink, by the way. You can take Miss. Lightwood with you since her dad had her sign up for a Hockey scholarship before they moved into the area."
I smiled at Adam as he stared at me in shock as he said to the headmaster, "Of course, sir. We will see you later at lunch."
On our way over to the school's ice rink, Adam looked over at me as he asked me the following question, "Why did you not mention that you like playing Hockey to me earlier?"
I immediately answered that question by saying in return to him, "Because I forgot that my dad had me sign up for a Hockey scholarship before we moved into the area. Plus, I am a little bit nervous about trying out for the teams right now."
As me and Adam approached the ice rink, two boys came walking over to us as one of them said to me, "That is understandable, madam. I am Charlie Conway and this is Greg Goldberg. We are two of Adam's best friends. You must be new here at Eden Hall."
I simply nodded my head yes while Adam Banks said for me, "This is Terra Annie Lightwood and she just moved into the area, guys. Her dad had her sign up for a Hockey scholarship before they moved. She helped me out when one of my not so favorite people tripped me outside of the school by scaring him off."
Charlie Conway immediately said to me with a look of shock on his face, "Wow, I am super impressed about that news. Come on, we need to get into the ice rink before the morning tryouts are over, you two."
I very quickly but carefully put my long light brown hair up in a bun as I followed them into the ice rink with my usual nervous smile on my face. I went over to one of the coaches who immediately recognized me and said to me in a whisper, "I will make sure that you are placed in my team, Terra."
That got me to smiled as I whispered back to him with a laugh, "Thanks, Uncle Ted. I am still a little bit nervous right now though."
That got him to call over Adam, Charlie and Greg who immediately came rushing over to his side as he said to them, "I need you three to help Terra out of the ice during her tryout for the Hockey teams for me. I want her to be in the Ducks, by the way, so make sure that you protect as best as you can, all right?"
All of three of them smiled at him as Charlie said to him, "Yes, Coach Orion, sir."
Coach Orion said to Adam Banks as he moved over to let him sit down with me, "I heard about the tripping indecent, Banks. Are you all right?"
I very quickly said for Adam using the following words to Coach Orion, "I had scared the person who had tripped Adam, Uncle Ted. You know how much I hate bullies by now, remember?"
That got Coach Orion to laugh in agreement as he said to me as he hugged me close to him, "You would be correct about that, sweetheart. I think that you and Charlie might need to talk about that and Banks, you might what to definitely go with her."
Charlie had heard Coach Orion speaking to the both of us and immediately came over as he said to Coach Orion, "I will talk to them during lunch, Coach Orion. And here comes Julie and Fulton, by the way."
That got me to look over at the two newcomers as I sat up a little bit straighter and they both noticed me and immediately asked Coach Orion with huge smiles on their faces, "Who is the new girl, Coach Orion?"
I immediately answered for Coach Orion as he let me hug him by saying the following words, "My name is Terra Annie Lightwood and Coach Orion here funny enough is also my uncle."
Both Julie and Fulton smiled at me as they introduced themselves while Adam Bank's name is called for him to tryout for the teams. The rest of us cheered him on and he almost had done a excellent tryout since he wanted in be a Duck. As he came back over, my name was called and Coach Orion helped me get ready for my tryout with the help of Adam who knew that I was still nervous. As I got started, I looked to my right to see both Charlie and Adam while on my left were Fulton and Greg and I simply did about everything that Adam had done during his tryout and once I was finished, he walked with me back over to Coach Orion who already had the list for the teams from the morning tryouts and he simply showed us the Ducks list as he said to us both, "Welcome to the Ducks, you two."
That got me to laugh my usual laugh while Adam smiled his usual smile on our way out of the ice rink on our way to our homeroom classes which got me to ask him about his classes by saying the following words to him, "I have reading first thing in the morning. What is your first class?"
Immediately Adam answers by saying the following words, "As do I, now that you mention it, Terra. What is the matter? Reading troubles?"
I whispered to him the following words, "I have dyslexia which means I most defiantly have reading troubles."
Author's Notes: The next chapter is going to involve Terra Annie Lightwood's first reading class and a lot more.
