Chapter 2

ADAM'S P.O.V

I watched Julie walk through the main doors of her dorm. I hadn't realized it at the time but I had really enjoyed myself with her. I hated not having the guy's around, but it was nice getting to know Julie better. We had been just strolling around town, now if the ducks had been here, we'd have been arguing about who wanted to go where etc.

I felt old feelings I had once carried for Julie during the goodwill games resurface. I suppose it was bound to happen, you can't just hide feelings. I'd tried hide them before for so long I just thought they had gone but obviously not.

When I arrived back at my dorm - still no room mate. This sucked, there was no-one in either of the empty rooms across the hall. I couldn't help but think that the housing people had isolated me on purpose. I was desperate for a room mate but it would be nice to have some company. I remembered the dorms back at Eden Hall, all the ducks were awarded a dorm in the same building. I had bunked in with Charlie and Guy. We got on famously even if Guy never stopped talking about Connie. I decided that I'd ring Charlie at home, with any luck he might not have set off for college yet.

I dialed the number that had become familiar to me over the past few weeks. It rang three times before I heard it being picked up.

"Hello"? A voice asked of whom I recognized straight away as Charlie's mom.

"Hi Mrs Conway, Is Charlie there? It's Adam". I said. I had no idea why I called her Mrs, she wasn't married anymore to Charlie's dad.

"Oh, I'm sorry Adam, He's out with the ducks because he flies out to college tomorrow. Do you want me to tell him to call you"?

"Erm, No it's ok, I'm sure I'll catch him some other time". I answered and then said my good-byes before hanging up.

After sitting still staring into space for at least 5 minutes, I grabbed my toiletries and went and had a nice hot shower. When I came back I laid on my bed and fell asleep, only to wake up the next morning at about 11 to find 1 message on my answering machine. I pressed the play button and laid back to listen.

"Hi, Adam it's Julie, I just rang to see if you wanted to go out or something, but it doesn't matter. I'll see you later. Bye". Then she hung up.

"Damn you Adam Banks". I shouted at myself for missing her call. I called her back quicker than the speed of light.

"Hello". Her beautiful voice spoke as she answered.

"Julie it's Adam. I'm sorry I missed your call". I said quickly relieved she hadn't gone out on her own.

"It's ok. Don't worry about it". She said softly.

"So do you want to go out. I've got to get out of this room". I said knowing she'd understand.

"Definitely. Grab your skates and I'll meet you half way between my dorm and yours". She said hanging up.

Just as I was going to grab my skates out of my closet I looked directly at them to realize I had two pairs - Ice and street. I quickly rang her back, hoping and praying she hadn't left yet. Luckily for me she hadn't.

"Julie, it's Adam again, which skates, Ice or street". I gasped.

"Street". She answered me simply then we hung up.

I couldn't ever remember getting ready as quick in my whole life. It must have taken 30 seconds to put on skate on. But then again I had never just agreed to go out skating with the love of my life.

When I first saw her skating through the campus, I could help but stare at how breath taking she looked. Her strawberry blond hair was tied back in a pony tail neatly and her pink vest top and cream shorts showed off her perfect figure nicely. I was paying that little attention to anything but her, I nearly knocked a young woman over and nearly skated straight past her. She laughed at me, grabbing hold of my arm before I managed to pass her and bump into someone else.

Well what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
