"Stupid older brother," Keri muttered as she fired pucks into the goal she and her brother had set up in their driveway. Josh had already gone home and Ryan was still over at the Banks. The laughter was louder now and Keri couldn't have ignored it even if she wanted to.
"So your brother tell me you're coming to Eden Hall next year," A voice said from behind Keri.
"Yeah, we've got connections and all, says there's a good change I can get on one of the Hockey Teams," Keri said as she looked over at Adam. He was leaning up against the fence that divided their backyards. "Wanna shoot some?" She asked. Keri didn't mind Adam at all, she'd grown up with him, it was just his bad luck he was a Duck and not a Hawk. He shook his head.
"Do you really want to go to Eden Hall? It's not an easy place to fit into…" Adam began to say then stopped himself. "Wait never mind, you will fit in."
"Oh?" Keri arched her eyebrows and skated over to stand beside Adam. "And why do you say that?"
"They're all Cake Eaters," Adam said with a shrug. Keri opened her mouth to say some nasty remark back when her brother attempted to climb over the fence. He attempted but fell flat on his face.
"Good job Mr. Graceful," Keri said as she rolled her eyes and began to gather all her pucks up into a bag. Just then two heads peeked over the fence. The two boys who were talking about getting together to play a street hockey game the next day didn't notice the audience. Keri looked up and let out a loud shriek as she saw the two pairs of eyes watching them.
"What do you two want?" Keri asked her eyes narrowing. "Who are you anyway?"
"Those are the Bash Brothers!" Ryan interjected happily but his joy faded as Keri sent him a death glare.
"And that means something to me?" Keri asked. No one answered and Portman opened his mouth to say something. "Forget it, I've got better things to do."
Keri then stormed into the house and Fulton and Portman shot Adam a confused look.
"Hey man all we wanted to know was if you guys had figured out about the street hockey yet," Fulton said.
Ryan let out a sigh. "She's a little spitfire that's for sure. Don't let her get to you…she's just…a…a…"
"A Cake Eater?" A voice that belonged to Russ said from the same side of the fence as the Bash Brothers.
"Yeah she's a Cake Eater," Ryan said he then grinned. "She likes vanilla cake the best." The others rolled their eyes at the Hawk who just laughed.
