CHAPTER 7:

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Mighty Ducks and I am not getting paid to do this.

I totally forgot I had a chapter already done.

ADAM's POV:

It was actually suprisingly easy to talk to Julie. I had actually missed talking to her. We used to have these long, deep conversations about everything from my family problems, to her life in Maine, and of course hockey. I would have to make a mental note to talk to her more often. I was currently sitting in the student lounge trying to catch up on the work I had missed. Thanks to Lily I wasn't behind in German but in everything else I was behind. She had tried to help me with Physics but she wasn't very good at explaining it. I was lucky that I didn't have hockey to worry about or I would never be able to catch up.

" Hey cake eater" Russ said and he was followed by Averman, Guy, and Dwayne.

" Hey" I said looking up from my History book. They collapsed next to me— obviously exhausted from a long practice.

" How was practice?" I asked.

" One word torture" Averman moaned.

" Come on man it wasn't that bad. Besides we have a big game coming up." Guy shrugged.

" It's all for the number one ranking y'all" Dwayne interjected.

" Hell we don't need it. We'll win no matter where those preps place us" Russ said confidantly.

" You said it" Averman said and they all high fived.

" It isn't quiet so easy without you though Banksie" Guy said

" Ah. You guys are doing fine without me" I said acknowledging there 10-2 record. Their two loses being to two teams that they had blown out since.

" That's very true." Russ laughed.

They started talking about there upcoming game and what Coach Orion had told them about the other team. I wasn't really listening because I noticed Lily had walked into the room with her friends and sat down at a table in the back.

" Be right back. I have to grab my math book." I said and walked out into the hall before they could respond. I waited for a few minutes before Lily showed up.

" I missed you" I said pulling Lily close to me.

" I missed you too" she replied pressing closer to me and kissing me.

" Come on I need a German lesson" I said and grabbed her hand and lead her to my room.

" Sounds like fun"

CHARLIE'S POV:

" I have the book on my desk" I told Fulton as I opened the door which I quickly closed.

" I thought you had the book" he said looking confused.

" Yeah but I just remembered it's kind of a mess in there." I lied.

" It's always a mess in there, at least on your side. What's the difference?" he responded.

" Well maybe I am embarresed about it this time" I said.

" Yeah right. Just get the damn book." he said.

" Okay fine" I said and walked back in the room. At least Banks and Lily had noticed my appereance a few mintutes earlier. They had managed to separate from each other.

" Just getting a book" I said and grabbed my copy of Mice and Men off the desk where I had left it and quickly exited. " Happy now" I said tossing the book at Fulton.

" Very. Now maybe I will actually pass the reading quiz tomorrow" he said.

" Yeah reading the book really helps with those" I stated. We walked into the common room where Russ, Guy, Dwayne, and Averman were sitting talking about hockey.

" Hey guys. What's the topic today?" I asked looking for an excuse to put off my homework.

" Just talking about Wednesdays game." Guy said.

" Charlie where did Banks go? It's taking him a long time to get a math book." Dwayne said looking concerned.

" It sure is cowboy" Russ responded almost laughing and I caught Guy's eye. They obvouisly knew what was going on.

" He'll be back soon don't worry. He just got a little distracted" I pointed out as Lily walked into the room looking a little flustered.

" Obviously" Guy said also noticing and sure enough good old Banksie returned a few secounds later.

" Banksie looks like you forgot your math book?" I joked.

" Damn I knew I forgot something" he said laughing.

" Nice lipstick by the way. But I picture you wearing a darker shade."Averman joked and Banks quickly wiped his lips.

" Thanks" he muttered turning red.

" You wear lipstick?" Dwayne said still ignorant of the whole situation and we all laughed.

" What?" Dwayne asked.

" Nothing" Banks said quickly.

" So we watching a movie later. Connie wanted me to ask" Guy said rolling his eyes.

" Of course she should know it's Monday night isn't it" I said matter of factly.

" What are we watching?" Fulton asked looking up from his book.

" No idea. We'll have to decide later. You know we can't decide without the girls." I said recalling many occasions where violence almost broke out over our choices.

" Banks you in?" Guy asked.

" Well it's in our room right so I guess I'm in by default right." He said.

" Right. Your own fault for getting such a nice tv." I joked.

" I'm shocked you have time for us with your busy schedule and all" Russ joked.

" It was rough scheduling you guys in but I managed it" he responded " Unfortuantly I don't have time right now for you. Be right back." he added and quickly left.

" I'll bet he's back in half an hour" I offered.

" An hour" Guy replied.

" He said a minute so I'll go with that" Dwayne said still confused, but sure enough he was back in a minute with his math book..

" That was quick" I said.

" Just had to grab my book. I have to do a whole chapters worth of geometry proofs" he said looking frustrated.

" Sure Banksie whatever" Averman said.

" Oh I almost forgot. Were having a party at Connie's house on Friday night. To celebrate my freedom.." I said.

" And her parents being out of town" Guy said.

" Yeah that too, but you should come" Russ said.

" And bring blondie" Fulton said.

" I don't know maybe." Banks said ignoring Fultons comment.

" Come on Banksie. All the cool kids will be there" I joked.

" We'll see"
