Notes: Part of this fic is based on the book D3. In the book, the out of
state Duckies ran into Linda and some picketers. I claim a new person!
Andrea Shade. She's not a girlfriend for Adam though. It's just a bit
overdone. I am guilty of it myself. So I don't mean anything bad about
the writer.
A Lone Duck among Warriors
Adam walked back to his dorm. What Russ had told him still going through his head. He didn't sell out. He knows he didn't. Russ accused him of throwing the clothes in the shower. He'd never do that. Scooter did say the prank war was on.
He threw his things in his dorm and quickly changed. Then he headed out with his roller blades. He roller bladed around the school a bit. He stopped in front of the fountain and saw the picketers again. He started to skate away when one of the protesters called after him, "Hey that's a Varsity player. Banks I think. Hey Banks! Come back here."
He pretended not to hear them. Right now, he didn't want to argue with a group of protesters. His skate caught something and he went flying towards the ground. He nearly fell on top of someone.
"Whoa! Are you okay?" She asked.
Adam was blushing as he got up off the ground. "Yeah I'm fine."
"Hey you're Banks aren't you? I saw you at the game tonight."
"Hockey fan?" Adam asked.
"Tim Labine fan. He's my boyfriend. I'm Andrea Shade."
"Cool. So I guess I'll be seeing you around."
"Yep. Be careful on those roller blades. I gotta go meet Tim." Andrea said and walked away.
Adam shrugged and skated away. He had no idea where he was skating. He saw the other Ducks playing basketball at an outdoor hoop. He skated by without saying hello none of them called hello either. He found himself at Hans and Jan's Skate Shop.
He stood in the doorway. He could hear Charlie and Hans talking in the back room. He waited until Charlie went out the other door. "Come in Adam." Hans called.
"How did you know I was there?"
"Heard someone enter and usually the other Ducks come in the back door. Have a seat." Adam did. "I heard you made Varsity. Congratulations. Do you enjoy it so far?"
"Yes. They are really great. I wish the Ducks could see that. They consider me a sellout because I hang out with Varsity. Then I was blamed for their clothes being put in the showers. I didn't know a thing about it. Then they froze everything in our lockers Hans. I mean everything. You touch them and they break."
"Maybe you should talk to them."
"I tried. They won't let me talk to them."
"Keep trying. You've been friends with some of them for four years. Don't forget them even when you have new friends on Varsity."
"Thanks Han. I have to get back to Eden Hall. Bye."
"Bye Adam."
Adam skated back to Eden Hall. He found the Varsity players all gathered in Riley and Scooter's room watching a Red Wings Vs The Stars game on TV. He just walked past them.
They might be his friends but he was still a lone duck among a group of warriors.
