For Those of you going back to read this chapter, this is set during Chapter 2, which starts at 6:00 in the morning on the Ducks first day at Eden Hall! (2-3 Weeks before what is now Chapter 17) So, we will now see what happened in Emily's Point of View!
Wow. I feel so intimidated going into this Huge school tomorrow, and having to play hockey with a team that's already played together for a few years. Or so I've heard. I just hope that these Ducks are nice kids. Not knowing ANYBODY from the middle schools is going to be hard. All these kids are already in their own social groups! It's going to be hard to fit in. If the guys didn't care about a girl playing hockey, I might have had a legit boyfriend. Having to deal with what's happened, I'm already kind of lonely. Oh well. I got the teachers and staff to help me out with any problems I might have...
A lot of the guys out there don't like me because I'm too into guy things and sports, and it's disappointing, like uh, I don't care what you think, this is my life and my body so just shut your big mouths. Geez! If I could actually say that to somebody. Then, any time I get anywhere close to liking a guy, he basically just says I don't like you or we are just friends, right or something Ike that. Most guys are just not good enough for me or something. Maybe I just have too high expectations. If I have any cute or handsome guys in any of my classes, then I might try it. I'm starting to get a little desperate. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with any teasing about me not having a crush or a boyfriend or anything. I just hope this doesn't get any worse. I don't want any more bad boy experiences, I've already had enough. Well, time to open the door to my room and have a new beginning.
Ah... Big room, but I see two beds, which means I'm sharing. Sharing is caring? Well, I need to unpack my stuff before the other girl gets here. -Emily unpacks her things, and as she's getting finished deciding her clothes order-
"Hey, are you my new roommate? Nice to meet you. I'm Connie." Some girl about my age said. Well, she seems nice.
"Hi Connie, I'm Emily. So... Are you a freshman too? Or is this going to be awkward."
"Haha! No awkwardness, I'm a freshman too. Don't worry, I'm just as shocked as you are about the size of this place. So, I see that you took that bed?" I picked my bed out already. I wanted the one on the door jam side. It makes me feel more secure.
"Yeah, sorry! I hope you're okay with the other one!"
"Oh no worries, it just means I don't have to move my stuff as far, no big deal." She said smiling obviously happy with the other bed
"Haha, yeah, no problem. I do get the dresser on the right side though, since it's kinda my side of the room, so... Yeah, I'm kind of possessive. By the way, do you know anything about the Ducks? I've never heard of them before, so..." She smiled big when she heard me mention Ducks. Hmm...
"No worries! I'm used to being on the left side. This is good for me. Anyways, I'll be right back, some of my other friends are here. By the way, I have a friend who knows a lot about the Ducks." She explained, and she left to talk to her friends from before. Well, making friends might not be as hard as I thought! Then I saw one of her friends, yes a guy, walking in and he was carrying a LOT of her stuff. Wow, he must be a football player or something. Woah... She has some powerful friends.
"Hey, are you Connie's roommate? I'm her friend. I'm Conway. Charlie, Conway. Nice to meet you...?"
"Moore. Emily, Moore. Haha nice thing with the James Bond thing there!"
"Haha! Nice job copying it." Charlie said smiling
"Hey! Charlie! I want to help too ya know!" Another guy that must have been another of Connie's friends called out as Charlie carried in another huge pile of stuff. Then I heard Connie say to somebody "I'll let YOU carry the rest of my bags in Mister Adam Banks." Okay, so that's another friend she has. Then he walked in...
Oh. My. Gosh. He looks so handsome and so cute at the same time. Oh my goodness. He's staring at me! What do I do?! What do I do?! He just dropped her bags in the doorway, just with bug eyes pretty much just looking at me.
"Hey! Banks! Not in the doorway! How about on my BED!?" That got me blushing a little and just giggling a little bit.
"Come ON Banks! Move it! Move it! MOVE IT!" Wow. She wants him to get his job done. Probably to make me a little less nervous. Oh my gosh! He's going FAST! I've never seen somebody do something so fast! I could see Connie mouthing 'Thats Better'. Then I turned on the television and let him do his thing. That was the most natural things I could do. He came back in along with Connie and Charlie, so I quickly turned the tv off.
"Hey, I'm Adam. Adam Banks. This is Charlie and Connie if you didn't already know." Not knowing what to say, I noticed they were wearing name tags.
"Hey Adam! Haha, yup, I could tell by the name tags. What do you like to be called more? Adam or Banks? I heard them call you Banks, so..."
"Doesn't matter. Whatever you feel like."
"Hmm... Alright then. I'll remember that. Oh, which one of you two is the one that knows about the Ducks?" Adam laughed a little
"Well, Let's just say I like you're jersey!"
"I'm just wearing my..." I took a second to realize I had my Ducks jersey on."Ducks Jersey. Are you a?" I stopped short, noticing Charlie wearing a shirt with the word QUACK in big bold letters. "Are you guys some of the Ducks?" I asked, obviously the first time I asked not coming out. They just nodded, then Connie introduced their roles. Adam is the Scorer?! Yes! I have somebody to pass to! Oh! Charlie's Captain! WOW! Then there's another friend of Connie's that's named Julie that's the goalie! OH MY GOSH! I just have this big O shape on my lips that looks really surprised. This day couldn't be going any better. At All! "Wow! I can't wait to practice you guys! I actually feel like I have a place on this team already!" It's good to feel wanted. I miss this feeling, and it's good to have it back. I gave them some tips about what I heard our new coach was like.
"Awesome! Great! Thanks for the information! Adam and I kinda have to get unpacked so, if you need anything Connie has our numbers to give you and she will give them to you in a little bit." They stared at her. I had a smile on my face so happy to get my crush- I mean Adams number!
"Yes I will. Later." With the mention of later my smile died down.
"Alright then, I'll see you guys in a little while. Bye!" Adam said, and with that they were off.
(END OF EDITED/UPDATED CHAPTER! THIS IS COPY AND PASTED FROM THE NOT-UPDATED CHAPTER 2!)
"Wow. Those 2 seem to be like a duo. They do everything together, and when they say Ducks Stick Together, I think they are the example of that. So, anyways, Emily I know we just met and all and we should probably talk about ourselves, but I've kinda been meaning to ask, what do YOU think about Charlie and Adam?" Um.. What do I say?! I don't want to lie, but do I really want to say the whole truth? Especially about Adam?
"Well, they both seem really nice, they both seem really smart, and they both seem to have a lot of good friends." I said, trying not to give much away.
"Alright, but like how far could you go with them? Would you ask them out?" Um.. A-HA! I've got a good response for this one!
"I don't really ask boys out, so I would say that I wouldn't ask either one out, no. As of right now, I barely know them, so I'm going to have to get back to you on that one." I said smiling.
"Okay, well good answer for the first one, especially if you're trying to hide something. Same.. Thing... for the. SECOND ONE! What are you hiding?! It's alright I'm a good secret keeper." She said, catching on to my hiding techniques. Um.. What's next?! WHATS NEXT?!
"Nothing important. It's just that I'm really shy, and I don't like talking about boys." I said blushing a little bit. It was actually the truth, but I didn't think it was that good of an excuse.
"Okay, well that's probably true, but that's not really a good excuse.." She took the words right out of my brain. Dang it! HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS!? "So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to ask you a question about each of the guys. Let's see if this works out the right way. Alright?" She asked. I was a little skeptical of her idea, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I know just as much about Charlie as I do Adam right? "Okay, so. Fill in the Blanks. Adam is a Blank, Charlie is a blank and Julie is a blank? I tried to be funny to see what she would say.
"Well, Adam and Charlie are both boys and Julie is a girl." I responded.
"Haha, okay I guess you're right. Very Funny. Now, Charlie is our blank, Adam is our blank and Julie is our blank?" She said smirking.
"Well, Adam is the scorer, Charlie is the Captain and Julie is the goalie." I responded, noticing Connie smile a little bigger.
"Alright, who are the 2 boys we are talking about again?" She asked smirking.
"Adam and Charlie!" I responded, obviously not catching on to why she kept on smirking bigger every time I answered a question.
"What are you thinking about right now?" She asked smirking the biggest I ever thought possible.
"Us playing 21 questions, You, Adam and Charlie." I said looking annoyed for the 21 questions part, WHAT?! It seemed like it!
"Now, when I say Charlie, what do you think of?" She asked me.
"Well, I think of Captain, you and Adam, Ducks and Hockey." I responded, knowing that she was asking about Adam next, I held my breath. Nervous for her next question.
"Why are you so nervous?! I haven't even asked you your next question yet! Stop worrying!" She told me to try to comfort me.
"I'm nervous because I don't want to answer very many more questions about boys." I said, telling her the truth, but still trying to get away from admitting it.
"Okay, well I'm not going to stop until I get the truth out of you. Now, what do you think of Adam?" She asked, knowing that this might make me flinch. Me being the shy girl I am just got really embarrassed easily when she asked about him, and I kinda blushed a little, luckily she didn't notice. I just wanted to give her one TINY hint I kinda liked him, so I through a little bit extra in for his.
"Well, I think of Star, Scorer, Friends with Charlie and You, Mighty Ducks, Hockey, and It sounds like he probably gets a lot of girls." She looked really satisfied with my answer.
"Ah HA! I think I got it. You like him don't you. That's why you asked what he wanted to be called instead of Charlie, that's why you said you would remember that when he answered. That's why you introduced yourself after you met him first, that's why you were smiling when I said I would give you their numbers, When I asked you what you thought of them together, you didn't mention anything about them seperate because you were scared I was going to catch on, and then, what really gave it away was no matter if I said Charlie, Adam or Me first, you still started your answer with Adam. Finally, the dead give away was you lying about being nervous. You weren't lying about not wanting to talk about boys, but that wasn't the main reason. You did that because you KNEW Adam was next, and you didn't want to give your secret away. By the way, it just got confirmed when I saw you blush after I asked you about Adam, but with Charlie you acted normally. And the little thing about probably getting lots of girls was just the cherry on top of the cake. Oh, and also, I forgot to mention, you gave Him your FULL name, not just first name, your last name too. You couldn't have made it more subtly obvious." She said smiling the whole time.
"Alright Alright! YOU WIN! ALRIGHT?! Fine, I kinda have a crush on Adam. I did just meet him though too, so I don't know.." I finally cracked. She deserved it, she worked hard to get me to crack my shell.
"Pa LEEZE! You don't KINDA have a Crush on him, I think you DEFINITELY Love him! There's no maybe's or kinda's there's the I'm rights, and you know it." She said confidently. You know what. I don't agree with the last part. I haven't really thought about it. Maybe she is right. I know I have a crush on him, but.. Is there something else? Hmm..
