Chapter One
Banksie, the Woosie
;-
"Come on Banks, you've got to tell her sometime," Charlie said, as he and Adam walked through the lunch tables.
Adam glared at Charlie, he didn't know how to tell that certain someone that he liked. Things just didn't come as easy as it does with Charlie. "It's not that easy, Charlie."
Charlie patted Adam's back, "She's right there, why don't you just go and talk to her?"
"Like I said, not that easy," Adam replied, "besides, Scooter likes her."
"Banks, you didn't hesitate that time when you defended her when Portman called her 'babe'," Charlie said, "why is it so hard to talk to her?"
"I'm not that great with girls Charlie, that time during conditioning, it just slipped out of my mouth. I've liked her for the longest time," Adam answered.
Charlie rolled his eyes, and shoved him over to the long blonde haired girl sitting at the Ducks table. "Well, you'll have to talk to her sometime, oh and that time is now." Adam shot daggers at Charlie, and mouthed: 'I hate you.' Charlie smirked, and mouthed: 'Go talk to her.' Adam sighed and nodded slightly, he walked the rest of the way to where Julie Gaffney was sitting. The blonde haired, blue eyed goalie. He hesitated before sitting with her, his heart beat was racing faster than it ever had before.
Julie looked up from her lunch tray and spotted Adam standing by the seat next to her. She smiled at him and brushed her hair away from her face.
"Hey Adam," Julie greeted, "uhh, wouldn't it be more comfortable if you sit while you eat?" she teased, giggling softly.
"Hah, uh - er - yeah I guess," Adam stuttered, as he sat comfortably next to Julie.
Julie starting poking her fork at her lunch, as the awkward silence filled the conversation between them. It was then that Adam had already given up on talking. He didn't know what to say to her. He was definitely tongue-tied. Speak Adam, you have to say SOMETHING to her. Don't be the wossie everyone thinks you are, just do it, SPEAK. He thought, gripping his fork. Adam opened his mouth slightly, but closed it immediately.
"So, how was your summer?" Julie asked, breaking the silence.
Adam cleared his throat, this was an easy question. His father always had him practicing hockey out at the near by hockey arena. "Dad forced me to practice all summer, you?"
"Harsh," Julie replied, knowing exactly how he felt. "Well, my dad said that I could stay here over the summer, but my mom wanted me to stay in Maine. I was really hoping to hang here with the Ducks."
"Hey Julie!" Connie interrupted, carrying her lunch tray to sit in front of Julie. Guy followed to sit next to his girlfriend. "Hey Banksie."
"Hi Connie," Julie smiled, greeting her. "Guy, shame on you, flirting with that cheerleader." she joked.
Connie glared angrily at Guy, "You what?"
"Julie, I didn't flirt with any cheerleader! You're such a liar," Guy protested, "besides, I have Connie, she's hotter than any of those cheerleaders."
"Aww, really?" Connie grew red in the cheeks. She kissed Guy, hugging him tightly. "I love you Guy."
"Love you too, Connie," Guy replied.
Adam looked at the couple kissing before his eyes. Why couldn't he get a girl himself? Both Guy and Charlie make it look easy, getting the girl was their specialty. Guy has Connie and Charlie has Linda. Who does Adam have? No one. Nada.
"Hey Cake-Eater, what's up with the outfit? Have you finally grown out of the preppiness?" Russ asked sarcastically, sitting next to him.
"Shut up, Russ," Adam replied, throwing a chip at him.
"Russ, Adam looks fine today," Julie smiled, "aww, Adam's at the normal teen stage." she pinched his cheeks and ruffled his hair.
"Haha, hey Charlie, have you been teaching Banks how to dress?" Russ asked Charlie, laughing.
Adam whacked Russ' head. "Hey, I was just kidding." Russ smiled innocently.
"Me too Adam, but hey, you look cute today," Julie stated.
Adam could have sworn that his heart skipped a beat. Julie called him cute. "Uh, thanks." he smiled, looking at Charlie, who gave him a thumbs up.
"Welcome," She replied, taking a sip of her milk.
This was definitely going to be a great sophomore year for Adam. This was going to be a start of something new with Julie. First build up on the friendship that they already have and then move on to something more than just friends.
