Chapter 1 Ducks Re-United

Adam's POV:

Well, here I am, my first year at Eden Hall. I'm waiting for all the other ducks to arrive, I got here a few minutes early encase anyone else did. I spotted someone approaching; I squint my eyes and see that it's only Fulton. He walks over and sits next to me.

"Hey" I greet. He says nothing. "Is everything okay?" I notice his eyes are slightly watery. "That's odd," I thought to myself. A Bash Brother, all cut? Hmm, do I dare say something? Nah, best not to.

Fulton's POV:

As I walk over the hill towards Eden Hall, I notice Adam watching me. I decide to sit next to him, as there's no one else here around. He starts talking to me but I don't respond. "Is everything okay?" He asks me. I try to hold back the tears and hope he doesn't notice. "I want to tell you!!" I scream out on the inside, but he'd think I'm pathetic so I decide not to. As all these different people pass me there's only one girl I notice. Ah damn, she's walking with another guy, but maybe we could get to be friends, at least that's something.I poke Adam in the ribs, then point to the ducks who are running towards us like a stampede, with Charlie in front, of course.

Charlie's POV:

"WOOHOO! C'mon you guys!!" I call out then look behind me. I do a little jump in the air, then spot Adam and Fulton and run towards them. I sit next to Adam and wait for the rest of the ducks to catch up. They all stand around and catch up on gossip. I'm not at all interested that much so I ask Fulton for a walk. "Wanna go for a walk, Fulton?" "Yeah sure, why not?" Hmm, he seems a little eager, I wonder why. "Koolies" I reply. We enter the corridor full of people talking. This girl Lynda, as she introduced herself, stopped to chat. So I stayed with her.

Adam's POV:

Hey, where did Charlie and Fulton go? I may as well go for a walk and find them. I enter the building and walk along the corridor and spot Fulton. I run up to him. "What's he staring at?" I wonder as I'm running along. He's staring and smiling

to himself at this girl. I stop along side him and stare in his direction he's looking. "Woah!" I thought to myself. Then coughed away the frog in my throat. He.he.he's gorgeous! I stand staring and Fulton thumps me. How does he know what I'm thinking? "Ouch!" I exclaim. "Stay away she's mine!" He warns me. "Hey, got no arguments from me!" Then I walk back to the ducks.

Fulton's POV:

Maybe I shouldn't have hit him so hard..ah well, he's always been a woos anyways. I wonder what he meant by "got no arguments from me"? Hmm, nah Fulton, it couldn't be that I told myself, can it? Yeah.anyway, should I talk to her? Why not.yeah, go on you big sissy I coached myself. I start over to her and smile. She notices me and smiles back. When I get there she says hi. I reply. "So what's your name?" "Karen, you?" "Fulton, so how are you?" "Never better. You? This is Asher, one of my good friends." Oh my god! So far she's single! GOOD NEWS!!! "Hi Asher, I'm okay. What have you been up to over the last few months?" We all talk for about 15 minutes, then it's time for assembly.
