CHAPTER 03
Over the next few days, the ducks all tried talking to me, but I either avoided them before they got the chance, or snubbed them by ignoring them. The truth be known, I wasn't particularly annoyed with them for the fact that they had been worried about it me, it was mainly because they were talking about me behind my back. Within a week, I was on talking terms with Julie, but when we did speak I was short and snappy with her, even more so when Scooter rang her. I handed her the phone over and stormed out of the building, not particularly caring about the lovey dovey conversation they would no doubtedly have.
I wandered around town, kicking stones every so often, brushing past people without a care in the world. I soon ended up back home, where my mom and dad had just finished eating dinner. On my entrance, they both rushed to greet me. I was pleased that someone for once was pleased to see me, but this dramatically changed when I took my jacket off.
"Oh my God, Connie how much weight have you lost"? My mom shrieked.
"I haven't". I replied, hoping that, that would be the end of it.
"You're so THIN". My dad just had to comment.
"I'm no thinner than the last time you saw me". I argued.
"Yes you are, you're a good 3 clothes sizes smaller".
"Look, I'm not, can we please drop this". I wandered past them.
"No Connie, we can't just drop this, you look awful". My dad followed me.
"Well thanks a lot dad, you really know how to compliment a girl. I'm going, I'm obviously not gonna be able to have a quiet night in with my parents". I headed for the door.
"Connie, don't you dare speak like that to us, we care about you deeply, that is why we are worried about you". My mom pulled me back.
"If you care about me, you'll leave me alone". I stormed out of the house, then started running when I was vaguely aware of my dad following.
When I thought I was a safe distance, I began walking, only vaguely aware that I was crying. I knew my parents wouldn't come after me, they had long ago learnt to leave me alone for a few days before trying to talk to me. Somewhere along the way, I felt someone drop into my pace at the side of me, I wasn't particularly bothered who it was at that moment, it could have been a rapist for all I cared.
"So you wanna tell me what's up"? I recognised the voice as Scooters.
"Not really". I replied.
"Hey, your loss, I've got a pretty good pair of ears". He laughed.
"I just feel like everyone is turning against me, first the ducks, now my parents". I began.
He walked around town with me for awhile, letting me pour my heart out to him. Eventually he walked me back to my dorm. I stood outside, looking into his deep green eyes, before I knew it we were kissing, and God where they good kisses, suddenly I felt an arm yank me backwards. I realised when that person was tossing a slap at Scooters face, then dragging me upstairs to our room that it was Julie.
"You bitch". She yelled at me, when we were inside. "How could you do that to me. God you knew how much I liked him".
"Hey, I was just giving him exactly what he wanted, it's obvious you weren't living up to his expectations". I spat harshly at her, receiving a stinging slap across the face.
"I will NEVER forgive you for this. You are no friend of mine". She stormed out, leaving me stood in shock.
The next day, I headed to practise early, I wanted to talk to Coach Orion. I entered his office on his command and sat there looking at him, nervous about what I was about to say. I tediously told him that I wanted to quit the team, and after much persuasion he finally gave in, asking me to play one last game, that would be the following night. I agreed and headed to get changed. Not surprisingly, Julie didn't speak a word to me, and not many ducks did either, but at this stage, I was past caring, I was here for one purpose and that was to play hockey. The practise couldn't have ended quicker, and whilst the others chatted with each other, I headed straight to get changed and left without speaking a word. When I got back to the dorm, I began packing some bags with clothes, I had almost emptied my closet when Julie appeared putting her hockey bag in her closet. I could tell she was about to leave again, but stopped on seeing me packing my bags.
"What are you doing"? She asked.
"Leaving this stupid school". I retorted.
"If this is because of what's happening between us, we can sort it out". She told me.
"Don't praise yourself too much Jules, I'm not leaving because of you, I'm leaving because I can't stand this prepsville, I can't stand being part of a team that I don't belong to anymore. As of tomorrow, I'm off the team". I continued packing. She quickly disappeared, out of the room, more than likely to tell the ducks.
I couldn't have been more right, within 5 minutes Charlie appeared, sitting silently on Julie's bed and watching me with a meaningful expression on his face. I could tell he was thinking of something to say that would keep me on the team, unfortunately, what with the mood I was in, he wasn't going to have much luck.
"What do you want"? I asked finally, getting bored of his silent existence.
"Why are doing this"? He finally said.
"Because I hate this place". I replied.
"C'mon Con, I've known you since I was 4 years old, you can surely find a better excuse than 'because I hate this place'". He told me.
"Is that all". I looked at him directly.
"Julie said, you said that, you can't stand being part of team, that you don't belong to anymore". Charlie told me.
"Yeah, so". I answered.
"No matter how far you go away, you'll always belong to the ducks".
"Save the talk Charlie, I'm leaving and that's it, I cleared it with Orion today, tomorrows my last game".
"I'm not trying to stop you Con, all I'm saying is, is that we'll always be here for you". He got up and headed out, leaving me to think over his words.
The next day, I stayed in bed most of the morning, I finally got dressed at about lunch time. Julie had gone out with the ducks as far as I knew, but I couldn't blame her, with the way things had been between us. I started packing the last of my things, when I came across mine and Julie's comfort bag. It was filled with bars of chocolate and our two favourite films - stepmom and Ghost, we had made it up when we first came here and I would moan about Guy. I began eating one of the bars and soon, I had eaten the full bag full, only leaving the videos. I threw the bag onto Julie's bed, noticing it was time for me to go to the ice arena. I grabbed my hockey bag and ran out of the room. I had changed into my pads, before I realised, I had eaten all that crap. I rushed off to the bathroom and began throwing it all up, whilst in the process, I heard the main door swing open and close. I went to the basin and wiped my mouth and went back out, where Julie was just tying her skates. She looked at me and I saw a worried expression cross her face and her mouth begin to open, but she quickly shut it. I quickly put my skates on, then my helmet and followed Julie out of the door.
I was sat on the bench for most of the first period, but I wasn't particularly bothered by that, during the second period, Orion sent me out. I struggled to keep up. I began feeling dizzy but pushed myself even harder, forcing myself to go out on top. Between face off's Charlie came up beside me, and looked at me through our face masks.
"You ok"? He looked at me with a concerned look on his face. "You look a bit pale".
"I'm fine". I skated off, feeling even more dizzy and sick by the second.
Adam won the face off and passed the puck to Averman who passed it to me. I was just heading toward the goal, when I heard who I thought was Charlie yelling at me to get out of the way. I looked up to see two big guys heading straight for me. The last thing I remember, was being crushed against the plexiglass then falling hard onto the floor, as I landed I felt a couple of cracks throughout my body and shooting pain. I pulled myself up and headed toward my team mates, who were stick handling around our opponents goal. Adam finally got the puck in, just before the end of period buzzer went off. I can't remember feeling more relieved than I did right then. We all headed into the boys changing rooms, where we would be given encouraging comments by Orion. I was walking slowly behind Guy, who I was still trying my best to ignore. As soon as I walked through the door, my dizziness took over and grabbed the door frame to support myself.
"Connie you alright"? Adam asked from behind, causing everyone to turn. Just as I was about to reply with what I thought would be a confident yes, everything went black and I felt my body fall forward into Guy.
So that is how, I got myself laying here in this bed, even though I'm not visibly conscious, I am a little. It's rather hard to explain, I'm vaguely aware of a few things that are happening around me, but not everything is all clear, probably due to the pain racking my body, I still feel incredibly dizzy and now sick due to the dizziness.
So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
