Hey guys! As I mentioned before, some parts of the movies I will change, just to make it a bit original. If you don't like it, then I'm sorry, but I think it's showing my creativity, so.. Here we go with Chapter 2 from Adams POV!
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" Adam and Charlie's alarm clock rang. 6:00 in the morning. Of course, it was their first day, and they were looking forward to what the days ahead and their lives would hold for them in High School. Especially Adam, who knew about Charlie and Connie's mutual crush. Connie hasn't admitted it to him yet, but he knew. Adam was a little bored and lonely without a girlfriend. He had all these girls chasing after him, and everything, but to some extent that bothered him a little bit.
Adam's POV: You know. I have all these girls chasing after me, but none of them I don't think actually like me. I think they either want to use me whether that be for Money, for Fame and Popularity or for... Something else (I can't say for a K+ rated story!). I want a girl, yeah, but I'm not desperate enough to go for somebody who I know I will just regret ever knowing in the end. True popularity is defined by your friends, and who your friends are. Not by a flock of girls who don't even care for you chasing you around. I want that one TRUE girl, who I know will be there for me, who I can count on, who I know will be good friends with the rest of the Eden Hall team. That's my dream girl.
Charlie's POV: I feel so bad for Adam actually. He has all these creepy girls chasing him all the time, so whenever he runs into somebody, he never actually knows if she likes him or not, he always just assumes they're part of the crowd. Actually, so far, I think he's been right. I don't think anyone he met so far would actually have liked him. Personally, I think Adam deserves somebody great, not just because he's my best friend and all, but just because he has to go through all the stress of being a star hockey player, and having girls chase him around all day all the time, plus I think that I'm probably not helping with the whole Connie thing. I bet he feels lonely. Maybe today things will change. Maybe things will get better for him. Maybe worse?
Narrative POV: After the boys and the rest of the "Ducks" got dressed, they went to the Opening Ceremony, which dubbed them students of Eden Hall. Adam, somehow was first in line when the Ducks met up, because Averman was late, so he had to go to the back. Of course Charlie was right next to Adam, which worked out. When Adam first walked into Eden Hall, he noticed a lot of what even he thought were pretty girls. He didn't think he'd ever see them again, and he obviously didn't care to get to know them, but he hoped he could meet somebody like them, except somebody who might actually care for him. After the ceremony ended at 9:00 without much else happening, the 2 boys decided to help Connie find her dorm room, as Julie had already found hers, and they were paired seperately.
Adam's POV: "Hey, Charlie! I want to help too ya know!" I yelled at him as he took about a quarter of her things into her dorm. When he came back, along with Connie, they both wanted to talk to me.
"Hey, Adam.. Um... If you're looking for a girl, which I think you are, you might have a candidate as my roomate. She looks pretty cute and I already talked to her, she's nice, kind of funny, and she seems smart, plus she's a freshman and she says she's playing with some team called US, the Ducks." Connie explained. Alright, this seemed like a good start..
"Oh, and by the way, if it helps, I kind of agree with everything that Cons just said. Of course though, I do think you should get to know her yourself before we tell you what to do." Charlie said winking at me. "So, with that, I'll let YOU carry the rest of her bags mister Adam Banks!" Charlie said laughing along with Connie, who passed me her bags for me to carry in. What I saw totally surprised me. Charlie wasn't kidding when he agreed with Connie about her being cute. In fact, I think that was kind of an understatement. I accidentally dropped her bags down, just not believing what I was seeing. It was a complete shock to me.
"Hey! Banks! Not in the doorway! How about on my bed?!" Connie yelled at me waking me up out of my daydream. I moved her bags over to her bed. The other girl obviously could tell that I had been staring at her. She was just blushing softly, and she giggled a little bit. "Hurry it UP Banks! Come on! Move it move it MOVE IT!" Connie continued to yell at me. Ugh.. Well, I don't know if her personality is alright, but she definitely looked good enough for me. I tried to hurry it up so that I could spend more time with this "Mystery Girl" that was Connie's roomate. Let's just say I went Luis speed. Within a couple of minutes I had unpacked all of her bags, without their help at all. I went over to talk to Charlie and Connie before I went back inside.
"So, what do you think? Was I right?!" Connie asked me.
"Adam, you like her?" Charlie asked me winking.
"Well, Connie you were right, and Charlie, so far, without knowing her and that whole thing, yeah, I think I could, IF I get to know her and like her personally too." I said winking at him.
"Well than LET'S GET STARTED!" Charlie exclaimed, ready for me to get unjealous of him having a crush on Connie. We went inside and I got to know her a little bit more.
"Hey, so.. I'm Adam. Adam Banks. This is Charlie and Connie if you didn't already know." I tried to stay calm, not knowing what to say really.
"Hey Adam! Haha! Yup, I noticed with the nametags!" She smiled pointing to their nametags when they walked in. Haha, Oops. "What do you liked to be called more? Adam or Banks? I heard them calling you Banks, so.." She asked hmm.. Tough question.
"It doesn't matter really, whichever you feel like at the time." I smiled, thinking that that was a good answer, since it actually kind of was true. I did answer to both.
"Hmm.. Alright then, I'll remember that. Oh, and by the way, I don't think I told any of you this yet, but I'm Emily. Emily Moore. Nice to meet you three! Oh, and by the way Adam, I'm playing with some Ducks team or something.. If you know who they are. They are apparently pretty popular or something." She said shrugging. Obviously Charlie and Connie saved this conversation for me. I just laughed a little bit. She had her jersey on already..
"Well, lets see.. I like your jersey!" I said winking, hoping she would figure it out.
"Thanks! I'm just wearing my.. Ducks.. Jersey..? OH! So you guys are a couple of the Ducks?!" Emily seemed a little beyond excited. We all just nodded her heads.
"Charlie's our captain, me and our goalie named Julie are the only 2 girls other than you now, and Adam is our star and best player." Connie told her. I loved how she made me seem the best! I kinda owe her one. :)
(THIS IS THE FORMER CHAPTER 3! As a result of updating Emily, I am combining both Adam Chapters! For those who did not start reading until After 8/24/13, This takes place when Charlie and Adam are on their way to their room!)
Adam's POV: Wow. I don't know what's happened so far. I feel a little bit different after talking to Emily. A little happier. I don't know why, I just do. Hmm.. Oh geez, that's right I have to face 21 questions with Charlie and the other guys now.. Good grief. Just remember to make him work out all the clues himself.
"Hey Adam, now that you've talked to her a bit, what do you think?" Charlie asked me.
"I don't know.. Her is Emily right?" I asked to confirm.
"Yup, it is. What do you mean you don't know. You can't just say you have a crush on her or you don't?!"
"First of all, I know you're my best friend Charlie, but things like that are secretive. Also, I've never had a crush before so I wouldn't know." I said. I already gave him a couple of short little hints. That should test him.
"Ugh! Adam! Just tell us! Either way we're still going to make fun of you, no matter if you do or don't it will just be different. You know that right? Just tell me."
"Nope. You're going to have to figure out if I like her or not by yourself." Oh, I love the irony there. It fits.
"Well. Hmm.. If you don't tell me if you have a crush on her, then I'm going to tell her that you do, even if you really don't." That one put me in a bind. Hmm..
"Charlie, do you WANT to hurt her?!" I threatened.
"No, well I guess that won't work. Dang. Hmm.. Alright lets do this the hard way. You asked for it!" Oh god. This isn't good. "The three second game. Ready? Go!" Okay, so I just have to answer each question within 3 seconds, and if I don't, he pinches me until I answer. Good grief. Alright, whatever.
"Alright, You're favorite color?"
"Black" I answered fast
"Favorite Fruit."
"Apples"
"Favorite Food"
"Pasta. Delicious." He was making my tongue want food. Yum...
"Favorite type of Ice Cream"
"Strawberry. Can you stop with the food?! I'm already hungry!"
"Nope, Favorite Type of Meat."
"Hmm.. Chicken." By now my mouth was just watering.
"Favorite Countries Foreign Food"
"Hmm. French or Italian. I'll go with Italian." Oh my god! I'm getting so freaking hungry! Let's just get something to eat?!
"Do you like Pizza?"
"Yeah, I don't know many people who don't.." I was about to die of hunger, and then Charlie cured that problem.
"Do you like Emily?" He asked. Oh god we are still playing the 3 second game. Oh! I get what he was doing, he was taking the phrase the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and taking it literally, using my stomach to try to get me to admit to him. Fine, you know what? I'm going to give. I don't feel like answering any more crazy questions, just so he doesn't tell her.
"Fine, Yes. I guess I do. You got me Conway! I'm going to get you for that! Don't you dare worry. Oh, and Don't tell her, because don't forget I know who you like to Charlie!" I said, reminding him I have some sort of advantage.
"A-HA! It worked! :) Yes! Alright, I'll be waiting for your revenge, and isn't it enough that you know who I like, and yes, we are even. Hear me, we are EVEN. You don't have an advantage. You can't always be the leader in everything Banks!" He told me. Sad, but true unfortunately.
"Fine. As long as neither of us tells anybody, we are even. That means anybody that goes to Eden Hall. Deal?!" I tried to bargain with him.
"Agreed. Deal." Charlie agreed. Then, we got to our dorm rooms, finished unpacking our stuff, and we both got texts from Connie and Emily confirming our numbers. Also, the important part, was I GOT EMILY'S PHONE NUMBER! :) Woot! Charlie laughed when he saw me smiling, and looking at my phone. The first thing I did was input her name into my contacts, and Charlie noticed.
"Well, Adam, I think it's pretty obvious.." He said, before I changed her name in my phone to Emily. He said as he watched me type in her Name and Number.
"What?! If your crush gives you her number, don't just throw it away! What did you think I was going to do with it?!" I asked defensively
"Well, you could have skipped the little note at the end there.." He said.
"CHARLIE! Oh Come on! What did you expect? I bet you did the same thing to Connie on your phone!" I said trying to back myself up, and sure enough, he changed the subject.
"So, what time is practice?" He asked me, Obviously he knew, and it was in a couple hours, he just wanted to change the subject. Hm. Whatever. Anyways, as I now had nothing to do, I just decided to sit down and watch a little bit of T.V and take another glance at my schedule:
1st Hour: History
2nd Hour: Science
3rd Hour: Off Hour/Practice Time
Lunch/Off Hour/Practice Time
4th Hour: Spanish
5th Hour: Math
6th Hour: Writing and Reading, a.k.a Language Arts.
I was glad my schedule laid out like this. Charlie had the exact same schedule as I did, except they put him in a lower Language Arts class called Reading and Writing instead of Writing and Reading. I really don't get the difference. It's so weird. We both have different teachers, so maybe they just call it something different. Hmm.. I went to grab the remote from Charlie, and then my phone went off. I wonder who it could be from? Hmm.. Maybe it was from... Then I saw the name. Emily. I had a little bit of a shock go through my body, just seeing her name on my phone. Charlie noticed me shiver.
"Geez Banks! What happened? One second you were trying to grab the remote and the next you were trying to grab your phone! Then why did you shiver like a chill ran down your spine?" He asked.
"Oh, I just got a text from Em. She said that her and Connie were coming over to compare schedules with us. And they are just walking out. Well, at least we're in OUR dorms, so we are on our own ground, not like before." I tried to point out our advantage this time.
"Well, that's good, right? Alright, they should be here any.." Charlie got interrupted by the Doorbell. "Second" he finished. So he went to get the door and with their schedules in hand, they entered our room.
"Wow, this is nice. And Everything is all so organized. I'm surprised you two. It's not like your lockers!" Connie said making us laugh, she was right. It was a little surprising, especially with how we keep our lockers.
"Thanks Con! Yeah.. Our lockers... Anyways, what classes do you girls have when?" Charlie decided to ask first, him obviously interested in Connie's and me Emily's. The four of us just set them down in shock. It was really weird. What are the chances of this happening? Well, it looks like we are going to be a very closely knit group of friends. We share 4 or 5 of 6 hours and teachers. The only thing that's different is our electives or Language Arts. I chose Spanish, Emily chose Drama, Connie took Choir and Charlie is taking Health and Fitness. All of which are required to some extent. What's really weird is they are all 4th hour. Cool, but weird.
I am deciding to leave you all there. I think that that's a good place to end it. What could happen next? Obviously Hockey Practice where they get to meet Coach Orion, and they start getting ready for the JV/Varsity Game. What happens at practice and After practice remains a mystery though. You shall find out on the next chapter of this story.
