Notes: Ooh I get to claim someone. I claim Katerina Kitzbar (Blame it on the fact that I'm watching Fight the Future). And does that equal out to a cousin? I was bored.

Cole's Cousin

Adam walked to the dining room for dinner. He got his dinner and looked around. Jesse wasn't there and neither was Charlie. He knew very well that he couldn't sit at the Ducks table and finally found a table not to far from them.

"Can I sit here?" A female voice asked. He looked up and saw a tall raven hared girl standing there. She had piercing gray eyes.

"Sure." Adam said.

"I'm Katerina Kitzbar."

"Stan Walkins."

"So what are you doing over here by yourself? People should surround a handsome guy like you. At least that's how it is with my cousin's best friend Rick Riley."

"Your cousin."

"Yeah Cole. He plays on Varsity. I know I look nothing like him. We are related by marriage. My stepfather's stepsister is his father's aunt. Or something like that. We aren't one bit blood related."

"Great." Adam said starting to get up.

"Oh no Cole won't care. Please don't go. He tries to ignore me for the most part. His father doesn't get along with his side of the family. People tend to do that when they find out I'm his cousin." She looked at him closely. "You play hockey?"

"Huh?"

"You are wearing a hockey jersey."

"Yeah I'm on JV."

"Why aren't you over there?" Katerina asked pointing at the JV table.

"They don't want me on the team."

"Oh that's got to be tough. So anyway you hear about the dance Friday?"

He remembered vaguely hearing about the dance in the announcements. "Yeah."

"Got a date?" She asked batting her eyebrows.

"Oh um no. We've got a hockey game Friday there so we probably won't be back in time for the dance."

"Oh." She said sounding disappointed she went back to eating.

Jesse came in and sat down. Katerina flashed him a glare that neither Adam nor Jesse noticed.

I wrote Katerina this way for a purpose. It'll be important later.
