A small update. My own laptop crashed and the old thing is a Fujitsu Simmons so... can't fix it. Now without a laptop it's hard to update. But I manage to write small chapters for each of my running stories.. I'll try to update as fast as I can. Sorry!

After been gone for almost two months Ryan found that it was hard to focus in class. First there were the glances of almost every student around. Either just looking at Ryan or his brace, which showed because it was still way to hot in california to wear anything but shorts, or the glasses.

Then there was the fact that the heat, light, the noise and the loud ringing of the school bell, didn't do anything for Ryan's headache and the miserable fact that even with the almost full range of motion on his knee, he was still unsteady walking up and down stairs and therefor had to use the wheelchair ramp outside school and the elevator inside. Although he had either Seth or Luke with him whenever he used the elevator as both were to lazy to walk up the stairs…

Overall Ryan wasn't enjoying his first day back. And to top it all, dean Kim had let all of the fab four come into her office to tell them they each had to join an extracurricular after school activity to keep their GTA's up and going.

Of course, Seth being Seth, immediately chose his on comic book club, which was surprisingly agreed to by dean Kim.

Summer and Marissa chose to join the ( ) club like before and Ryan immediately said soccer. But of course that wasn't an option yet.

"Why not? It won't be long till I can play again." Ryan said irritated.

"It's not that I don't want you playing soccer, Ryan. But you've already missed three months of practice… I don't think that you can play this year." dean Kim said.

"Can I at least…" Ryan started but was interrupted when someone knocked on the door.

"Hold that thought." Kim said holding up a finger. "Come in." she replied as the door opened and Luke stepped inside.

"Luke, what pleasure do I have to see you here today." Kim said with sarcasm.

"I'm here to inform you that Coach Timmons hasn't replaced Ryan yet in the team and is willing to accept him whenever he can join. He figured you'd be telling Ryan and the others about the EC activities and told me to let you know that…" Luke said and glanced at Ryan who he now just saw in the room. "Oh, hey dude." Luke said with nod.

"Hey." Ryan said with a smirk. Luke had perfect timing… really.

"You're just in time, Luke. We were just discussing that." Kim said as she turned towards Ryan again as she signed a few papers. "It seems were settled than, I do want you to meet up with your coach to discuss some future activities, alright? And I want all of it on paper on my desk tomorrow." Kim said as she handed Ryan his permission slip.

Ryan got up from his chair and took the paper. "Thanks." He said as he and Luke exited the room.

"Thank god, man. I was going nuts in there." Ryan said as he stuffed the piece of paper in his back pocket.

"Summer told me that doctor Kim was drilling you, figured I'd ran to the coach and put in a few good words." Luke said.

"What'd you tell him?" Ryan asked.

"That he wasn't getting either of us, if one of us wouldn't get back on the team and as we were the only capable strikers… he easily admitted his defeat." Luke said with a way to bigga smile.

"Good, man." Ryan said as they made their way towards the soccer field.

"Coach is training the newbies." Luke said as he pointed towards the freshman on the field running their butts off.

"Great." Ryan said as they came to a stop in front of the coach.

"Atwood, good to see you. How've you been?" Coach asked as he shook Ryan's hand.

"Been better, but I'm good." Ryan said.

"Good. I want a full physical exam on paper tomorrow, recommendations, limiations.. the whole shabang on paper. We'll see from there, alright?" Coach asked glancing at Ryan's leg for a second before returning his gaze back to those trusted blue eyes.

"Alright." Ryan said.

"Good, Atwood. You're dismissed for the rest of the day, go home, get your physical and I'll see you tomorrow." Coach said.

"Yeah, see you." Ryan said as he turned around to leave.

"Oh, and Atwood?" Coach yelled after him, making Ryan turn towards him once more.

"Yes, Coach?"

"Take Ward with you, I don't want that golden retriever running around here with out some one that will keep him out of trouble." The coach said with a smirk.

"I will." Ryan said with a chuckle as he left the soccer field.
