I'm sorry about not updating in awhile, my writers blocks has been getting the best of me but Chapter 5 is here! ENJOY!
*Friday Night*
"With a minute left in the first game of the season, the Ducks lead 7-0 against the West High Lions," the announcer raved into the microphone. "Reeds and the Ducks new defense men, AJ Harper, clear the way for Conway as he makes his way up the middle. He dekes once, twice and SCORES!" The crowd erupted in cheers just as the buzzer sounds. "Ducks take the win with the final score being 8 to 0!"
Bombay and Orion shook hands as the rest of the Ducks went out on the ice to celebrate, tacking their captain to the ice. Watching from the crowd were Rick and the rest of varsity, including Julie. "They've gotten better," she mumbled to herself, hoping Rick wouldn't heard her but unfortunately, he did. He grinded his teeth together to prevent an outburst.
"Now that's how you start off a season!" Orion exclaimed when Bombay and him entered the locker room. The Ducks cheered. "Let's keep this up!"
"YEAH!"
Luna came running in, followed by Michele, and went straight to AJ. By this time Luna already won the team over and spent as much time as she could at practices and games, being their little mascot. That was awesome! She signed with excited movements. AJ smiled brightly at her as she turned the little one's eyes away from the stripping boys.
After everyone got changed the Ducks headed to the diner to celebrate. They stuffed themselves in the corner booth along with the two normal booths off to the sides. Charlie's mom didn't even bother taking their order for she already knew what they wanted. As she brought over the plates of cheese fries and buffalo wings, Luna was on the booths seat, between AJ and Fulton, mimicking the final shot all the while Charlie was doing the play by play. The two had the team playing the crowd, laughing between hoots and hollers.
The boys dug into the food that was placed in front of them as Connie and AJ waited till there were no hands left to take their helping. Connie poked AJ on the shoulder to direct her attention to Fulton, who now had Luna sitting on his lap playing tic tac toe with Dean. The two laughed at Dean losing, once again, to Luna. Fulton held his hand up and Luna happily slapped it.
"Looks like those three are getting along good," Connie commented.
"I'm surprised at that," AJ replied still watching them.
"Why?"
AJ turned back to Connie. "Luna never liked the guys I hung around before." She took a sip of her Coke. "But I'm happy to see the way she is with them."
Connie nudged her in the side and gave AJ a look that resulted in her getting an eye roll, a light push into Guy and a burst of laughter from the two girls that blended in with a loud laughter from the guys.
*Monday*
Connie, Guy, Fulton and AJ were in the library during their free period on the dull, drawn out Monday morning. Connie and Guy were flirting with each other not even bothering to touch their work or pay any mind to their surroundings. Whereas Fulton tried to focus on the math problems in front of him, which was ending in a painful headache. He was so focus that he didn't even realize AJ looking over at him with her chin resting in the palm of her hand from her seat next to him.
"You forgot to carry the 4," AJ said giving Fulton a sight scare. She smiled as she pointed to where he went wrong. Fulton realized this, fixed his mistake and finished the problem with an annoying and frustrating groan. She continued to help him through the rest of the problems. "Not your best subject?" She asked after the last problem.
"No subject is my best," Fulton stated. "I'm just barely passing all my classes to be able to play hockey."
"That's because your too focus on girls," Dean's voice made the two turn. He had a smirk fixed on his face. He ruffled his best friend's hair, receiving a gut punch seconds later.
"Like you have room to talk," Fulton glared at him.
AJ rolled her eyes at the interaction. "I'm surprised to even see you in here. Didn't think Dean and the library made a good couple."
With that, the couple that had stopped flirting when Dean arrived and Fulton laughed.
"Ha-ha very funny," Dean let out a huff. "I came to tell Fulton something."
"Tell me what?" He asked as he packed his things up. He was eager to finally get out of the cage that is the library.
"There's these cute girls and they think we're cute and wants to go on a double date this Friday! But the one girl wants to meet you first." Fulton agreed as he stood.
"Always about girls with you two," Guy pointed out.
"Not all of us like to be pinned down by one girl."
"You two will never know how good this feels," Guy kissed Connie then she deepens the kiss.
"And on that sappy note, I'm gonna go," AJ grabbed her things, waved bye to the couple and headed out the library, followed by the Bash Brothers.
The two boys towered over AJ as they discussed their Friday night plans while walking to their class which they had together. AJ blocked them out with her headphones and music. It wasn't until a figure stopped in front of her that AJ looked up. A boy with black hair and a lip piercing stood there. With another boy over 6-foot AJ was starting to feel like a dwarf. But once she actually comprehended who was in front of her, she let a smile show. "Levi?"
"So, this prep school hasn't brainwashed you into forgetting me?" Levi playfully said. Rolling her eyes, AJ gave Levi a punch on the arm. "Damn, good to see you haven't lost your punching skills." He rubbed his arm in the spot she had punched.
"What are you doing here?" AJ asked, still smiling.
Levi's dark eyes raked over AJ. "I came to see how you were doing at this school, which I can see that you're doing good." He glanced at the two behind her.
AJ looked back to see Dean and Fulton still with her. "Oh shit, I thought you two went to class." Fulton shook his head as Dean replied with a nope. "Okay then. Um Levi this is Dean and Fulton my teammates. Guys this is Levi, a friend of mine from school."
"Nice to meet you two," Levi said with a devilish smile that went unnoticed by AJ. Fulton and Dean just crossed their arms not saying a word. "Since you have to get to class I'll let you go but meet me at Rev's after school?"
AJ nodded and watched as Levi left. Once he disappeared from her view she looked up at the Bash Brothers and their hard expressions. "What the hell is up with you two?" She asked more to herself as she turned to get to class.
"Linda!" Charlie called for her down the hallway. She stopped and turned around to see her 6-foot-tall boyfriend jogging towards her with an adorable goofy grin. Charlie pulled her into a hug, which instantly made her giggle.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" She asked as he linked their fingers together and walked to class.
"Well considering the Ducks won their first game and I have a smart, amazing and beautiful girlfriend, I have no reason but to feel good," Charlie smiled down at her, planting a kiss on her lips. "And plus, I have a surprise for you after school." Linda blushed as she pulled him down for another kiss.
"Get a room!" They heard Averman joke from behind them.
The couple pulled apart to see Goldberg, Kenny, Dwayne, Russ and him heading towards them. Charlie groaned at the timing. Linda just smiled and pecked him on the lips one last time before saying her hi's then byes.
"Man, I wish I could get a girl like that," Averman sighed, watching Linda step through her classroom door. Charlie slapped the back of his head as a warning to stop staring.
"Try being less of a geek," Russ patted his back.
"But it's the age of the geeks, baby," he commented. (Yes, this is a TV show reference, do you get it?)
"You watch too much TV," Dwayne said from behind the two. Charlie laughed, agreeing with the cowboy.
Just then a couple of girls walked past Dwayne with a seductive look and said, "Hey Cowboy."
Dwayne tipped his cowboy hat. "Ladies."
"That's the third time today," Kenny said, looking back at the giggling girls. "How does he do it?"
"It's the hat," Goldberg suggested. "Or the accent."
"Definitely the hat," Averman said. Kenny and Russ shook their heads in agreement.
The bell signaling the start of class rang and the boys all darted frantically to class.
