Jean left for eden hall long time ago. But so amazingly, Natasha, tessa,
Hannah, carmie, ruying, julia and I were all going to eden hall. We were
just luckier than jean to get to go together. She left on her own. We all
had our reasons for going there. I was going for athletics, Natasha was
going for netball, tessa and Hannah were going for band/music stuff, carmie
was going for uniform thing. I forgot what it was. Ruying was going for her
scholarship thing. High grades crap. Don't know. And Julia was going for
basketball. I, siyi, was definitely excited to finally be here. Waiting
22hours on the plane was a bit too long.
As we stood at the gates of eden hall, our mouths were all wide open, and our eyes glimmered. The walls of eden hall were awesome. Big and shiny.
"are we ever going to go in?" I asked.
"maybe after admiring it for another hour." Carmie joked.
Sighing, I pushed open the gates. When we walked through the big wooden doors, we almost died. The insides were even more beautiful than the outsides. Although, I admit, I miss Singapore. But this was a new experience. But soon, all these feelings of great admiration for eden hall were soon replaced with disgusting, grimacing feelings. Standing right beside us, a guy and a girl were making out.
"come on, lets go to that office thing we're supposed to go to." Natasha said.
"and get a room!" tessa called out to the rather... in my own words, grotesque couple.
In the office of the principal, we stood. We were given our dorm room numbers, class timetables and all the info we needed.
"yes!" carmie, Julia and I did a hi-five. Or a ... 15 five.. ah nevermind. Screaming, the 3 of us filed into our dorm. The dorm room looked exceptionally neat. Of course, this school definitely had no taste of what singapore's St.Margs girls could cause. We flung our bags into a corner and started jumping on our beds. Then very quickly, I popped a simple plan CD into the cd player beside the tv. I'd Do Anything blasted from the player. We danced and jumped and jumped and enjoyed ourselves. I suppose we were pretty loud, because soon, Hannah, tessa, ruying and Natasha were also in our dorm, dancing along to the beat. Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door.
"may I come in?" a girl with straight jet-black hair asked.
"jean!" we screamed and hugged.
"wow, finally, after that super quick trip here to watch your figure skating thing we're finally here!" Julia said, almost shouting actually.
"yeah! Its awesome!" jean said. "so how do you guys like eden hall?"
"it's the coolest place yet! I mean, look at the place. It's humongous." I commented.
"cool. Come on, you can pack later. Lets go meet the ducks!" jean cried.
We slipped on our shoes and filed out of the room.
Running to the rink, we saw one whole pack of guys shouting, "quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!" I lifted my eyebrow. Weird...
"go rent your skates and let's do some skating!" jean said.
We all rented our skates and skated out onto the ice. The pack of guys started to disperse as we neared.
"Adam!" jean cried out. I remember adam. The nice guy who paid for our airfare.
Adam turned around and smiled.
"hey.. I suppose you're all jean's friends." Adam said.
We all nodded.
"hey ducks! Get over here!" adam shouted.
Soon, we were surrounded by guys. Which was pretty uncomfortable for us, being that we were all in a girls school.
"meet, siyi, tessa, Hannah, Natasha, ruying and carmie. Jean's friends." Adam introed us to the ducks.
"Hey, I'm averman. he's Charlie, fulton, Goldberg. Some of the guys aren't here yet."
"umm, nice to meet all of you. But we really gotta go now. Jean, thanks for letting us meet the ducks. See you all around. Bye!" I said on behalf of all of us present. Quickly we skated off the ice. But then, suddenly, I heard a ping! The sound of a puck being slammed against something. I turned around. I saw Goldberg fulton and averman playing ice hockey. I looked at Natasha. Then I looked at everyone.
"anyone up for hockey?"
quickly, we grabbed the equipment needed and started up a game of ice hockey among ourselves. In Singapore, we always played hockey as a way of relaxation. Although we were girls, playing hockey never really occurred to us as a boys-only sport.
Slamming the puck into the net, and then tripping, tripping OTHER people, stealing the puck. All these actions came flowing back as we warmed up and went into a real game of hockey. Violent, aggressive, but fun. When we finished and did hi-fives, jean and the ducks were standing at the side, staring at us.
"sorry, were we allowed to play?" I asked.
"were you allowed to play?" Charlie started, "you guys are awesome! And shit, you're girls!"
"we never thought being a girls would have come in way of anything." Ruying defended.
"yeah, but, where'd you learn to play like that?" Charlie asked, big grin on his face.
"Singapore... where else... garbage bin?" tessa said sarcastically.
"no.. I mean, you could play for the mighty ducks!" Charlie suddenly exclaimed.
"oh..." I started. "thanks for the offer, but, I think we'd better stick to what we came here to do. You know, the sports we came for."
Charlie gave a disappointed look.
"yeah.. I guess it would be better."
"sorry" I said. And we skated off the ice and went back to our dorms.
