Move!
Marcy came running to the car with a box and her backpack. "Cutting it a little close." She remarked looking at her watch.
"Yeah I know." I said driving towards school.
"If you didn't have a car I might have had to stop being friends with you." She grinned.
Marcy and I have a good friendship. That's all we are nothing else. We both met on Valentines Day and we had something in common. We didn't want to be at the dance. She was dumped by her boyfriend the month before and I was still hurting from September. A friendship started that night.
"You going to get out of the car Adam?" I looked I had been lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that we were at the school.
"Leave the boxes in the car. We can get them after the assembly." I said. We both got out of the car and walked to the auditorium.
"Adam can I talk to you for a second." I turned around to see Coach Wilson standing there.
"Sure." I said walking over to him.
"I'll go save us a couple seats." Marcy said and walked into the auditorium.
"I thought you should know a few things about the assembly this morning. Since you are captain of Varsity Dean Buckley wants you to say a few words."
"Okay." No problem I guess. Wonder why he wanted to tell me that?
"Also the Dean told me he's going to bring up last year. Many concerned parents almost didn't send their kids to Eden Hall this year. I'm not sure if he wants you to say anything about it but I thought you should know."
I joined Coach Wilson and several teachers on the stage along with Tom Riley. Mr. Riley was glaring at me from his chair. I am still blamed for what happened and it happened to me!
I sighed and listened as Dean Buckley started his speech. He gave his usual boring speech that he's been giving for three years. Then he got to the more interesting part.
"I know some of you have expressed concern over what happened last year. The security is still tight. You can not enter a dorm unless you belong there and the dorms have electric locks. Last year will not happen." he started discussing the sports team then. "Now the Varsity Hockey Team Captain, Adam Banks, will say a few words."
I really didn't know what to say. I know everyone would be happy if I kept it short. "Well I hope I can lead the Varsity Team to the same success that Keith Hawkinson did last year." There was applauding. "Another state championship." I ended. There was cheering.
As I turned to go back to my seat someone yelled, "Adam look out!" I moved back in time to see a small light fall to where I had been standing.
Great. I'm officially cursed.
