Disclaimer- I only own Jaimie in this story; she is all mine. No one else is. Rating- I'd give this story a PG rating it might go up to a PG13 rating because of language. Summary- a new girl arrives from Minnesota and she happens to be Charlie Conway's cousin; Jaimie Conway, And Adam Banks takes a liking to her. But will she crumble under the pressure of deciding whether to be a Duck or part of Team USA?
"Hey everyone I'd like to introduce you to someone, our new player. She comes from Minnesota, and she's my cousin." Charlie said. "Umm Charlie, don't you think that we have enough girl players already?" Adam Banks asked. "Hey we need as many girl players as we can get, plus we need a new defensive player since Robertson had to go back home for a short while." Charlie explained. "She plays defense. I'm starting' to like this girl already." Adam said. "Okay, right, anyways, please help me welcome, Jaimie Conway." I heard Charlie call my name so I walked in. 'Oh my god, it's dead silent, what do I say, oh hell I'll just smile.' I said to myself as I started to smile. "Make her feel part of the team, remember when you were just starting with the team, you were scared, right Cake Eater??" Charlie said as I started laughing with the whole locker room. "Hey, Hey, Hey that was my first year, you guys just came up with that name." Adam said walking over to Charlie. "Hi, my names Adam Banks, you'll be on the ice mostly with me since we're both defensive players." He said as he shook my hand. I worked my way around the room introducing myself and chatting along the way, finally it was time for practice.
~ 2 Hours later ~
I made my way up to my room to write in my diary, 'what a day' I said to myself. "Hey Jamies!!" I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see who it was and it was Banks. "Hey Banks, what's the matter??" I asked him. "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you what you thought of the practice?" "Oh. um. it was hell but I'll survive." I tried my best to answer him. "Yeah, the first one is usually hell." I laughed nervously. "Why are you so nervous?" He asked. "I'm. I'm not, just a little tired, you know." I explained. "Yeah, I do, I'll let you go to bed, night." He said as he kissed my forehead. "Night." I responded. "Oh hey Jaimie!!" "Yeah?" I asked. "What class do you have first tomorrow?" Adam asked coming back up to me. "Um. hold on let me get my schedule out." I said as I reached into my bag and pulled out the schedule. "Ok um. I have English." "Cool so do I, I'll meet you at the library. you do know where that is right??" He asked. "Yeah." "Okay I'll see you later." He said walking away. "Bye." I said walking into my room and closing the door silently hoping not to wake up Connie, and Julie. I walked over to my bed and put my bag down. I unpacked all my stuff and put them away. I picked up my diary and a pencil and started writing.
Dear Diary,
Today was hell. I didn't expect it to be what it was, I guess Brian was right about hockey. it's a tough sport and you gotta do what you gotta do to get somewhere's in life. But one good thing. there is this cute boy here, his name is Adam Banks, he's so funny. He looks like a prep, I mean he probably is but still I like him. I miss home. I miss talking to Kendra. I should call her, but I have school tomorrow and hockey practice I don't know when I'm suppose to call her. But I'll make a point to call her. I'll probably call her after practice after we're on the bus back. Oh my god do I miss her. I wonder how her and Greg are doing. That's one thing I worry about. It's 9:02 pm right now, I think I'm going to go to bed. I'll write in you tomorrow.
Love Always and Forever,
Jaimie (#98) I threw my diary on my shelf, changed into my pj's and climbed into bed. 'I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get through this.' I said to myself as I drifted into sleep. BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!! I heard as I rose up from my sleep. "God I hate when they do that." I said. "Good Morning rookie." Julie said. "Morning." I said back. "Ready for your first day at Eden Hall?" Connie asked me sitting next to me. "Yeah, I'm very ready." "There are some people we have to warn you about though." Julie said sitting on the other side of me. "And who would that be?" I asked getting very nervous. "That would be the varsity hockey team. You'll be a sitting duck with them since you're new and all." Connie warned. "I'll be with Adam half the day though." I explained. "Really how is that?" Julie asked getting curious. "We have all the same classes through half the day, the morning classes only." I told them. "Really that's awesome. You'll be fine for half the day at least. And you'll have even more friends at the end. Trust us." Julie said getting up to get dressed. "You'll have fun in this school if you don't run into those jerks anyways." Connie explained getting up to get her make-up on. "Okay." I said getting up to get dressed and put my make-up on. By the time I was ready it was 5 minutes of 7. "Jaimie what time do you have to meet Adam?" Julie asked. "Eight o' clock, why?" I asked. "You might want to get going, the library is on the other end of the school." "Oh God your right, I'll talk to you guys at lunch." I said grabbing my bag and running out the door. I ran down the hall trying my hardest not to get caught by a teacher. Five minutes later and one minute late to meet Adam I arrived at the library and saw him waiting outside. "Hey sorry I'm a minute late." I said walking up to him out of breathe and giving him a hug. "Sounds like you just got done running." He said. "Actually I did." I said starting to laugh. "Wow when did you leave your room?" He asked. "Like four minutes ago." I said. "You're a fast runner." He said starting to walk. "Yeah only if I was like that on the ice." "Haha, we all wish we were that fast too. Wait you didn't get stopped by a teacher?" "No there was no one around." "You know there are camara's all around this school right?" He said to me. I stopped in the hall and looked at him. "Opps, whatever, if I'm caught I'm caught." "Your way to funny, I love you." He said jokingly. 'I only wish you really felt that way.' I said to myself. "Well this is our first class, I warn you Ms. Burgess can be a bitch." He warned me. "Don't worry about it, I had those back home too." I said as I laughed. 'Home, why do I miss it so much, I think I'm home sick, I don't want to leave this place I love these people, and my brother would be too disappointed in me if I left because I was home sick, God do I hate these feelings, I'm going to have to really talk to Kendra now.' I said to myself as I walked into a class that would be the beginning of another hell for me.
~During Class~
"Miss Conway, would you like to come up here and tell us about yourself?" Ms. Burgess asked me. "Sure." I said. 'Great now what do I say, I should just look at Adam, I'm just a little nervous, first time in a private school, I'll be fine just look at Adam, look at Adam. Oh my God that makes me more nervous, just look at the teacher, okay more calm now.' I screamed at myself. "Ms. Conway, what are you here for?" The teacher asked. "I got a hockey scholarship to play with the ducks and my brother and my cousin wanted me to come so I decided to come." I said trying to not show how nervous I was. "The Ducks huh, how do you like them?" Someone asked in the back. I looked at Adam and smiled and then back at the person who asked the question. "I love them, their awesome, they've become my home away from home." I answered. "Speaking of home, where do you come from Jaimie?" Ms. Burgess asked another question. "Minneapolis Minnesota oh great just what we need another person from Minnesota." Some guy said. "Joshua, principles office now!!" Ms. Burgess said grabbing him by the ear. "You may sit down Ms. Conway." She said as she escorted Josh out of the class. I walked to my seat and sat down next to Adam. "No wonder why she's not married, I'd be very afraid to marry her." I said as Adam started laughing. "Luckily we only have a week left of school." He said calming down. "Wow, you get out of school early." I exclaimed. "Yeah we do, but the problem with that is that we go to school early too." "Okay, I don't think we want anymore of that mess now do we ladies and gentlemen?" Ms. Burgess said stepping back in the classroom, slamming the door shut. "No Ms. Burgess." We all said in unison. "Okay then, open your text books to page 83 and start reading independently, Jaimie you can ask Adam what happened, last chapter, and then you two can read together, but please go out back and tell her Adam." Ms Burgess said pointing at the back of the room. We both got up and walked to the back and sat down. "Okay, I really don't want to rephrase what happened last chapter so I'll just put it into a little sentence for you." He said as he winked at me and I gave him a little smile and a laugh. "Okay so this girl came to a new school and she fell in love with a guy that had some problems with his life, like he smoked dope and drunk alcohol and all this bad stuff, and she was determined to help him and that's really where we left off." He explained. "Sounds interesting." "Yeah I guess if you're a girl. which you are. but I'd rather read something totally different, you know what I mean?" "Yeah I do." I answered him. "Did she understand the story Adam?" Ms. Burgess asked him. "Yes Ms. Burgess." "Ok, now you two read and if I hear one little whisper out of both of you, I'm going to switch her to another class, understand?" She asked with a certain anger in her voice. "Yes." We both said. I felt Adam take out a piece of paper and he started writing something. I decided to ignore it because I thought he was writing something to Charlie about Ms. Burgess, and who wouldn't she's one of the meanest teacher's I've ever seen. All of a sudden I saw the note come into my view; and landing on my leg. "Don't read it yet, wait until you get in your room, and then read it." Adam whispered into me ear. I shook my head so he knew I understood what he said. I jumped to the sound of the bell, and we all filed out of the room. "What class do you have next?" Adam asked. "Biology, you?" I asked. "Algebra." "Oh I have that after lunch." "Cool, you have it with Avermen and Connie." "Really, good because I don't think I can handle a class without one of you guys, I would either die or run out of the room screaming." "You would handle it, if I know you which I don't know too well but I know you well enough that you would survive." He said grabbing my shoulders. "You know you're really sweet, I haven't met many guys that are that nice, except the guys on the team." "You'll meet more, trust me, but for now you can just hang with us." He said. "Yeah I plan to." I said as I turned to smile at him. "Well this is your class, my class is right next door, and so if you need me you can tell Mr. Robertson and he'll let you come over, Okay?" Adam said letting go of me. "Yeah." "Mr. Robertson is really nice, he'll make you feel welcome, and he's not like Ms. Burgess, plus he likes our team, he always has come to our games and supported us." The final bell rang and kids ran to their classes. "Hey I'll meet you right here after the bell, okay?" Adam asked to make sure I understood him. "Yes, Adam I'll be fine, thank you so much for helping me." "Your welcome, I'll talk to you after class." I shook my head and walked into class. I waited for the teacher to come in to assign me to my seat. "Good Morning class, oh who do we have here, you must be Jaimie Conway." He stated. "Yes sir, I was wondering where I would be sitting?" I asked trying to be as polite as possible. "Um. let's see, you will sit next to. Charlie Conway. Wait are you two brother and sister or something?" He asked. "No sir just cousins." I answered him. "Oh okay, well you two better not cause problems!" "We won't sir promise." Charlie said welcoming me over. "Yeah right two Conway's together, Charlie you're a trouble maker in the first place." The teacher said. "Okay class go get your goggles and start doing what you did the other day, and Charlie help Jaimie with what we did do the other day please." He told Charlie. "Yes sir." Charlie responded. "So I saw you with Adam outside the classroom, what were you doing?" "Nothing we were just talking about our classes." "Sure you were, that's what you want me to believe." " I'm serious Charlie." I said giving him my 'seriously' look. "Okay, Okay, I hate it when you give me those looks." He said grabbing us a pair of goggles, "That's why I give you that look Charlie, I know you hate it, and you've hated it since we were kids." I said laughing. We sat down at our seats and started working. He told me everything that I needed to know, even what went on last class. As soon as the class started it ended. 'I'm starting to like this school a lot.' I said to myself. 'I should open that note but I don't want to disappoint Adam so I'll wait.' I said. "Hey Jamies. Let's go, we're going to be late for lunch!" Charlie yelled. "Jaimie." I heard the teacher call my name. I gave Charlie and Adam the one-minute sign and they nodded their heads. "Yes sir?" I asked. "I just want to know what team your playing for?" "Oh, I'm playing for the ducks." "Great, and welcome to our school Ms. Conway." "Thank you sir, and have a nice day." "You too." I walked out of the class and joined Charlie and Adam across the hall. "What did he want to know?" Charlie asked. "He just wanted to know what team I played for." I answered as we started to walk. "Oh, what did he say?" Adam asked. "He just said great and welcomed me here." I answered as we walked into the lunchroom. "Wow, it's big, a lot bigger than our lunch room." I said amazed. "Yeah. private school lunchrooms usually are much bigger." Julie said coming up behind us. We all lined up together and walked over to the table and sat down. Everyone started talking and I went dead silent. I sat at the end of the table, only being able to think of home. "Can only think of home huh?" I heard someone ask me. My head shot up to see Adam sitting there. "Yeah, I don't know why I miss it, I love trips but I don't know how well I take to permanent changes." I said putting my fork down. "We all took it the way you did, you shouldn't feel to bad you have your cousin here." "It's not that fact that I feel bad it's just I always seem to miss certain things, you know, like friends, and parents." "Yeah I know, you'll get used to it trust me." He said grabbing my hands. "Hey Jaimie, how do you like this school?" Goldberg asked. " I like it, it's. cool. Some teachers have something stuck up their butts but hey that's the ones we have to deal with, right?" "Yeah, right." Goldberg said turning back to his food. The bell rang to tell us that we needed to clean up and get to our last class. All of a sudden an announcement came on the intercom. "Ducks you have no practice, I say again Ducks you have no practice." The voice said. "Oh yes we don't have practice." Goldberg said. "That's good. I thought you guys said that you don't like to miss a practice." I wondered. "We don't but one practice doesn't hurt us right?" Charlie said putting his arms on my shoulders guiding me down the hallway. "Yeah, um guys this is my stop." I said stopping. "Okay, we'll talk to you later." Charlie said walking away with the others. "So you have a class with us huh?" Connie said. "Yeah, fun, fun." We walked into class, and as soon as class started it ended. "Do all these classes go by so quickly?" I asked. "Most of them, not all." Avermen exclaimed. "Come on, we're going back to our room, it's gossip time." Connie said grabbing my arm. We headed back to our room and sat down. I reached in my pants to pull out the note Adam gave me earlier. "Hey Jamies, what's that?" Julie asked. "It looks like a love note from a guy." Connie said. "Oh Jaimie, do you have a lover already?" Julie asked. "No, not that I know of, it's from Adam." I stated. "Oh Adam, read it, read it." Julie urged me on. "I will, I will." "NOW!" They both yelled at me. I opened the note and started to read. "Oh my god she has such a serious face, Jaimie what does it say!" Julie yelled at me. I kept on reading. "It asks if I want to go to the dance with him." I answered. "REALLY?" Connie asked. "Let me see." Julie said grabbing the note. "Wow it does, he must really like you." Julie said as a smile came on my face. "So what you going to say?" Connie asked. "Seriously. I don't know." I answered not sure my answer was right.

I made my way up to my room to write in my diary, 'what a day' I said to myself. "Hey Jamies!!" I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see who it was and it was Banks. "Hey Banks, what's the matter??" I asked him. "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you what you thought of the practice?" "Oh. um. it was hell but I'll survive." I tried my best to answer him. "Yeah, the first one is usually hell." I laughed nervously. "Why are you so nervous?" He asked. "I'm. I'm not, just a little tired, you know." I explained. "Yeah, I do, I'll let you go to bed, night." He said as he kissed my forehead. "Night." I responded. "Oh hey Jaimie!!" "Yeah?" I asked. "What class do you have first tomorrow?" Adam asked coming back up to me. "Um. hold on let me get my schedule out." I said as I reached into my bag and pulled out the schedule. "Ok um. I have English." "Cool so do I, I'll meet you at the library. you do know where that is right??" He asked. "Yeah." "Okay I'll see you later." He said walking away. "Bye."

Jaimie (#98) I threw my diary on my shelf, changed into my pj's and climbed into bed. 'I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get through this.' I said to myself as I drifted into sleep. BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!! I heard as I rose up from my sleep. "God I hate when they do that." I said. "Good Morning rookie." Julie said. "Morning." I said back. "Ready for your first day at Eden Hall?"

"Oh, what did he say?" Adam asked. "He just said great and welcomed me here." I answered as we walked into the lunchroom. "Wow, it's big, a lot bigger than our lunch room." I said amazed. "Yeah. private school lunchrooms usually are much bigger." Julie said coming up behind us. We all lined up together and walked over to the table and sat down. Everyone started talking and I went dead silent. I sat at the end of the table, only being able to think of home. "Can only think of home huh?" I heard someone ask me. My head shot up to see Adam sitting there. "Yeah, I don't know why I miss it, I love trips but I don't know how well I take to permanent changes." I said putting my fork down. "We all took it the way you did, you shouldn't feel to bad you have your cousin here." "It's not that fact that I feel bad it's just I always seem to miss certain things, you know, like friends, and parents." "Yeah I know, you'll get used to it trust me." He said grabbing my hands. "Hey Jaimie, how do you like this school?" Goldberg asked. " I like it, it's. cool. Some teachers have something stuck up their butts but hey that's the ones we have to deal with, right?" "Yeah, right." Goldberg said turning back to his food. The bell rang to tell us that we needed to clean up and get to our last class. All of a sudden an announcement came on the intercom. "Ducks you have no practice, I say again Ducks you have no practice." The voice said. "Oh yes we don't have practice." Goldberg said. "That's good. I thought you guys said that you don't like to miss a practice." I wondered. "We don't but one practice doesn't hurt us right?" Charlie said putting his arms on my shoulders guiding me down the hallway. "Yeah, um guys this is my stop." I said stopping. "Okay, we'll talk to you later." Charlie said walking away with the others. "So you have a class with us huh?" Connie said. "Yeah, fun, fun." We walked into class, and as soon as class started it ended. "Do all these classes go by so quickly?" I asked. "Most of them, not all." Avermen exclaimed. "Come on, we're going back to our room, it's gossip time." Connie said grabbing my arm. We headed back to our room and sat down. I reached in my pants to pull out the note Adam gave me earlier. "Hey Jamies, what's that?" Julie asked. "It looks like a love note from a guy." Connie said. "Oh Jaimie, do you have a lover already?" Julie asked. "No, not that I know of, it's from Adam." I stated. "Oh Adam, read it, read it." Julie urged me on. "I will, I will." "NOW!" They both yelled at me. I opened the note and started to read. "Oh my god she has such a serious face, Jaimie what does it say!" Julie yelled at me. I kept on reading. "It asks if I want to go to the dance with him." I answered. "REALLY?" Connie asked. "Let me see." Julie said grabbing the note. "Wow it does, he must really like you." Julie said as a smile came on my face. "So what you going to say?" Connie asked. "Seriously. I don't know." I answered not sure my answer was right.
