Notes: Oops forgot I also claim Keith, Martha, and Dr. Dylan. I thought I caught all the first person POV's from the handwritten chapter one. Two slipped in. It's easier to write in first person on paper. Also I named the series. It's now called: Bird of Prey. I know I found Edina Junior High on the web once but now I can't find it!
Benched
"Anyone remind Adam that there is practice tonight?" Quint Hall asked.
Practice had started a few minutes earlier. Everyone was there but Adam.
"I did when he was leaving school. He said he was going to be here." Jesse answered.
"Laps." Quint called. The Ducks quickly started doing their laps.
Just as they were finishing the laps, Charlie heard a door open. He stopped, trying to see if it was Adam. It was indeed Adam, and he was on crutches.
"What happened?" Quint asked seeing Adam on crutches. Martha, Keith, and Christina walked behind him.
"Ran into some people I know on the way home. They introduced my ankle to a bat." Adam was tired and on painkillers.
"Who was it?" Tammy asked.
"Let me guess. It was the Hawks right?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah. They were waiting for me to come home."
"How bad is your ankle?" Peter asked.
"Hairline fracture." Adam sat down in one of the seats. "I'm out for most of the season."
"I'll kill them!" Fulton said. "They aren't getting away with this!" All of the other ducks nodded in agreement.
"I know you are all mad but we've got practice. Talk about this afterwards." Quint said.
Adam, Christina, and Keith watched the practice. Martha said she'd come back to pick them up. Adam was itching to play. Keith played hockey for Eden Hall. practice had been cancelled.
Christina's phone was ringing. "Hello? Oh hey mom. Yeah I'm at Adam's hockey practice...he wanted to tell them. yeah sure." She handed the phone to Adam.
"Hi mom."
'Adam how are you? martha told me about what happened.'
"I'm doped up on pain medication so I'm fine." Keith and Christina snickered at that.
'I'm going to come there and pick you up. you should be resting at home and not watching some hockey practice.'
"Fine."
They hung up. Adam hated being benched. Maybe it's the experience of being on the Hawks. You play injured, sick, or whatever. There was no excuse for not playing.
Too bad it wouldn't work now. not that he'd ever want to return to the Hawks.
He just wanted to play.
