Notes: I've never ice skated in my life. We just got an ice rink here a
few years ago. The only hockey I've ever played was the kind in gym in
elementary school. If this were soccer, I'd know something about it.
You've been warned. Yes Mikah makes another appearance in a fic by me.
Hey once you create a character, they kinda become cannon for your stories.
Tryouts
Adam put on his ice skates. Jesse was sitting next to him doing the same. They both had pro hockey jerseys on. They were the kind that was bought at a sports store. There were several other people trying out including Mikah Riley. The Ducks were glaring at them. He knew they didn't want them there. He almost wanted to wrap his wrist like he'd been doing for years but he realized he no longer had a bad wrist
They went out onto the ice. Charlie wasn't dressed down for practice. He was sitting in the stands watching with Julie. Jesse and Adam exchanged worried glances. They listened to Orion tell them that there were two spots open and told them what the tryout would have.
The people trying out lined up getting ready to drill. They did the same kind of drills Orion made them do the very first practice. Mikah arrogantly moved through the cones. He ended up falling flat on his face. Jesse went next and had no trouble getting through them. A few more went through and did all right. Adam went second to last. He did them just like normal but it felt different. He had done these drills since he was six and now it felt like something completely different. It must have been a way to hide who he was.
They scrimmaged and he was checked a few times by Fulton and Portman. Jesse was getting the same treatment from the others.
Finally the tryouts were finished. Orion was writing something on his paper. He told them to go change. He'd tell them in a few minutes.
Adam rolled his shoulders to get the tension out from hitting the boards so much. Riley was sitting on the other side of him muttering under his breath about something that he wasn't too sure of.
The door flung open and Orion came in. "All right I have made my decision. The two newest members of the JV team are Stan Walkins and Winston Patrick. Practice is at the usual time tomorrow." He said and walked back out the door.
Riley glared at them before storming out of the locker room. The other players who hadn't made it did the same. Jesse and Adam quickly stood up but the other Ducks surrounded them. Fulton pushed Jesse into the locker. "Just because you are on the team doesn't mean you are one of us. You'll never be one of us." He led them out of the locker room.
Adam sank to a sitting position. "I should be used to that by now. I got the same exact speech when I was on Varsity." He said quietly since the locker room was empty but still low enough in case there was someone in there that they didn't know about.
They walked out of the locker room and went to their room where they could discuss this in private. "I now know how you felt the day you showed up to play as a Duck." Jesse said.
"This is not going to be easy." Adam said sinking onto his bed. "We've got to help Charlie, deal with the Duck's hatred for us, and try to be on the lookout for the bad angel."
"Yeah I know. Speaking of Charlie why wasn't he playing? That's the first thing we've got to find out." Jesse said.
"But it'll have to wait. I don't know about you but I'm tired." Adam said lying back on his bed. He was soon asleep.
Jesse left the room in search of Charlie.
