~*Chapter 1: Portman or Fulton*~
"No!" Jessica yelled at Portman from one side of her bedroom door. "Why not? It's just the movies." Portman asked, opening the door. "Because I don't want to." Jessica answered as she turned on her stereo full blast to block out Portman's begging. "Yes, you do." He mouthed. Jessica rolled her eyes. "Leave me alone, Portman." She said. Portman put his hand behind his ears which told Jessica that he couldn't hear because of the stereo. Jessica turned off her stereo. "Leave me alone." She repeated. "Tell me.." "Go!" Jessica interrupted. "But I.." "GO!" she repeated as she pointed to her door. "Fine" Portman said stubbornly and stormed out of the room.
"Any luck?" Charlie asked as he saw Portman walk down the hall. "Dude, she can be so stubborn sometimes!" Portman said as he joined Charlie to watch T.V. "I take it she said no" said Charlie. "Maybe she just doesn't want to go out with you, dude. You've asked her a thousand times and each time she's said no!" said Fulton who was sitting on the other side of Charlie. "Yo, shut up, Fulton! You're probably worried that she might go out with me instead of you" said Portman angrily. "Don't tell me to shut up, Portman-" Fulton yelled back but Charlie interrupted him. "Would you guys both shut up!?" The Bash Brothers shot Charlie an angry look. Charlie stood up, thinking that he might get punched in the face and turned to them. "Look at yourselves! You guys are fighting like 8-year-olds and it's over some girl. No wonder why she says no to the both of you." Charlie began to walk away. "What are you trying to say, Conway?" Fulton yelled after him. Charlie stopped and turned to look at the two. "You gotta get your act together and stop comparing your selves with each other."
Jessica was a new member of the Mighty Ducks. She had joined just a year ago with another girl named Alexia. Alexia had dropped out of the team because she just couldn't cope with hockey practise, homework, family life and all that. Jessica had won the hearts of the two bash brothers and they have been asking her out ever since, hoping that they would get a chance.
"He's right, you know." Said a voice from the back of the room. They turned around and saw that it was Connie. She had overheard the conversation. "Stay out of it!" yelled Portman. "Don't talk to her like that!" said Guy who had just walked into the room. "Dude, don't tell me what to do!" Portman yelled angrily, stood up and walked over to Guy. "You want a piece of me?" He said and pushed Guy to the ground. Guy quickly stood up and started arguing. Fulton joined the fight and shortly after Connie gave up telling them to stop, Connie joined them aswell.
"You guys." Said a voice from the door way but they couldn't hear. "You guys." She repeated. "STOP IT!" she yelled. They stopped arguing to see who was talking to them and saw that it was Jessica. "Portman, what are you fighting about this time?" Portman opened his mouth to argue back at Jessica but she got in first. "I turn my back on you for one second and you're picking a fight with someone." She turned around and walked back to her room.
Connie left the guys and ran off to join Jessica. "Jess? Can I talk to you?" Connie knocked on her door. "Yeah, if you wanna." answered Jessica. Connie opened the door and saw Julie and Jessica sitting on her bed. "What you guys up to?" Connie sat on the bed next to Julie. "Just talking. You know...about Portman and Fulton." Julie answered before Jessica could open her mouth. Connie nodded her head. There was a moment of silence. "So...what did you wanna talk to me about, Connie?" Jessica asked. "Uh, I just wanted to ask.." Connie paused for a while. "..I don't know how to put it. What have you got against Portman?" Jessica just stared for a second. "Nothing." Jessica looked down. "It's just I'm sick and tired of him picking on everyone because of me. He's angry..." She looked up at Connie. "..and he's taking it out on the closest person to him." Connie smiled. "OK. I understand. But, what about Fulton? You're not so mean to him." "Well, I don't know. Fulton's different, I guess. He takes it easily." Jessica answered. Julie pulled a face. "Well, you better so "yes" to one them, and soon. If Portman gets angry a couple more times he'd probably get kicked off the team for "accidentally" killing someone on the Varsity team while playing hockey or Fulton would become really soft and wouldn't have the heart to be a Bash Brother anymore which would leave Portman all alone, by himself, in his jail cell next to a big guy named Duke." Julie teased. "So, I say yes to Fulton, and Portman goes to jail for murder?" Jessica smiled. "Yep. Why wont you say yes to one of them anyways?" asked Julie. "I do wanna go out with one of them. But the problem is, if I say yes to one, the other would be upset or angry." "Well, that's life isn't it?" asked Connie. "Yeah, I guess. I just don't wanna hurt them." "Why don't you go on a date with both of them and then decide who you liked the best." Julie suggested. "But, I'd have the same problem in the end, wouldn't I?" "Yeah. Smart thinking, Julie." Connie laughed. "Shut up." Julie said smiling. "Just go out with whoever asks you next and see how it goes. If the other gets mad, just let him. You could endlessly say that you're sorry and Connie and I will tell him to get over it! Good idea, Cons?" "Yeah, there are other ways but we'll stick with this for the moment." Connie agreed. "Hmmm.fine. If it's the only way, then I'll do it." The three girls continued talking for a couple of hours until someone knocked on the door.
"Gee...I'm popular aren't I?" Jessica joked as she got off her bed. She opened the door to find Portman standing in front of her. "Portman! Hi!" Jessica said. She quickly looked at Julie & Connie. Julie nodded and Connie mouthed "Go ahead." Jessica looked at Portman again. She lightly pushed him into the hallway and closed the door behind her. "What was that for?" he chuckled. "Nothing!" Jessica answered straight away "Just wanted some privacy." Jessica knew that Julie & Connie were listening to them against the door. "So, what did you wanna say to me?" Jessica asked. "Oh, umm. I just wanted to say that. I'm sorry." Portman looked down at his shoes. "For what?" Jessica already knew the reason. She wanted him to admit it. "You know, for everything. For asking you out all the time even though I knew you didn't want to and for starting fights for absolutely no reason." "That's OK." Jessica smiled. "Hey, are you still up to that date?" She blurted out. They heard gasps come from the other side of the door. "So, what about it?" Jessica asked to take Portman's mind off the voices from inside her bedroom. "Uh.yeah. Of course." Answered a confused Portman. "How come you said no before?" he managed to get out. "Oh, umm... I was just..." Jessica struggled to find an excuse. "I just.was.being mean. You know me." Nice going, Jess! That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, like he's gonna believe that! She thought to herself.
"OK then. Well, tomorrow 6:00?"
"Sure!"
"Cool. Well, I better go now."
"Yeah! OK! Bye!"
"See ya"
Jessica watched Portman walk away. She went back inside her room.
"You asked him out?"
"I thought he was supposed to ask you out!"
"Fulton is gonna be so crushed when he finds out."
" "I was just being mean" ! I could've thought up millions of other reasons for that!"
"I cant believe -"
"Stop it! I had to ask him out! He was there. I was there! Besides, the sooner we got together, the sooner I could find out who I am actually after. I know that Fulton is gonna be crushed!" Jessica interrupted and fell on her bed. "I cant believe I'm even doing this. I already feel sorry for Fulton. I cant do this! I have to cancel the date!" Jessica said as she stood up and walked to the door but Connie pulled her arm and made her sit down again. "You are NOT going to cancel the date! You've already got Portman all excited about it so there's absolutely NO way you're cancelling. Fulton will get over it! It'll take a while but in the end he'll be fine with it." she yelled at her. Jessica buried her head in her pillow. "I cant do this" Jessica muffled. "We have to get you ready for your date tomorrow, missy." Julie said as she pulled sulking Jessica up and dragged her to her wardrobe.
