Authors note: I'm back. Enjoy.
Takes place after Scooter asks Julie to the Winter Formal and after he kisses her. Julies POV.
I walked in my dorm room where I found Connie and Guy making out.
"Guy, I really don't mean to be the last beer at the party but I really need to talk to Connie if you don't mind."
"Last beer at the party Jules?"
"Shut up." I laughed because that's all that came to mind. I was so excited about the dance that I couldn't think of anything else to say.
"Alright, I'm going, I'm going." Of course not before one last kiss. "Bye Connie, Bye Julie."
"Bye Bye."
"So what's up Jules?"
"You are never gonna believe what happened at the rink."
"Let me guess, Max sucks."
"That's besides the point. Oh and the worst part about it all is he can't skate!"
Connie and I started to laugh hysterically.
"Anyways, Connie, Scooter was there, and he asked me to The Winter Formal."
"Ahh!" Connie jumped off her bed and hugged the Cat.
"I know!"
"So, you said yes right?"
"Do you think I'm that stupid!"
"Julie you are so lucky, Scooter is like the most popular guy at EH and he's a Senior. Wait.. What do you think the team is gonna think.. I mean he's a Warrior after all." I knew she was gonna bring that up.
"Well, maybe if the guys got to know Scooter, then they would see how he really is. He isn't a Warrior. Maybe on his jersey, but not in his heart."
"I know I would like to get to know him."
"Back off Connie."
"He he. Come here." Connie hugged me again. Man, she really must be happy for me. More than I can say about the other Ducks.
*The next day.*
(Julie's POV)
Knock. Knock. Knock.
6:25 AM
Knock. Knock. Knock.
I looked up at my alarm clock and it said 6:26. Who the hell is at the door. I got out of bed.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
When I opened the door I saw Max there. Oh my God.
"Max, what the HELL are you doing here?"
"Well, Julie… I was thinking and I really need to practice. Maybe you could get up and come to the rink with me."
"Oh no. I will not get up at 6:30 in the AM on a Saturday nonetheless, and come practice when I am not even scheduled to practice until 7:00 in the PM. Now, Max, maybe you should just go and practice skating some more. Oh and Max, one more thing… NEVER and I stress the word NEVER come to my room at 6:30 in the morning ever again, unless someone is dying or the building is on fire." I know I was a little harsh but man, who is he to wake me up this early.
"Okay Julie I am sorry. It will never happen again." Then he walked away. I closed the door and snuggled back in my nice warm bed.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
7:45 AM
Knock. Knock. Knock.
OH MY GOSH. I didn't even bother getting out of bed this time. If it's Max, I am going to rip every curly red hair out of his head.
"WHO IS IT?!" Wow, I never screamed that loud in the dorm before. Oops.
"Julie, it's Scooter."
Ooops again. I had to get out of bed that time. I got up, and opened the door.
"Hi Scooter."
"Morning Julie." He lifted a bad and a tray of 2 coffees. "Coffee and Doughnuts?"
"Do you know what time it is?"
Wait a minute.. Where the hell is Connie? Come to think of it she didn't bite my head off when Max came to the door. Oh well. Maybe she is with Guy.
"Yeah, it's early, but hey, why not get a early start if we are gonna help that new goalie of yours be kinda good."
"Come on in."
I shut the door behind him.
"So cat lady why did you almost bite my head off when I knocked on the door?"
"Well, because about an hour ago Max knocked on my door and asked me to practice. I was not about to get up."
"You look so cute in the morning."
I know I started to blush.
"Thanks, I think."
"So, what kind of doughnut do you want, jelly filled, custard filled, or powder?"
"Mmm.. Powder." Yum.
"Okay, powder it is."
Scooter handed me the doughnut with wax paper around it. I took a bite and then Scooter started to laugh at me.
"What's funny?"
"You…" He was laughing again. "You got power on your face." He took his thumb and wiped the powder away from around my lips.
"Thanks."
"So, wanna help the new kid?"
"Not really. I mean, so what he's not good enough, maybe I'll be able to play then."
"Yeah, you got a point. Maybe it's better that he sucks."
After about 10 minutes of talking to Scooter, I realized how much fun we are going to have at the dance.
"So Gaffney, did you tell anyone about us going to the dance together?"
"I told Connie last night, what about you?"
"Yeah, I told Riley. He wasn't too happy with me, but I don't care."
"Well, I'm glad you asked me. I never thought that you would though. Me being a freshman and all."
"Nah, I would've asked you either way, I enjoy spending time with you." With that said, Scooter leaned in and kissed me again. But before it would get any deeper I pulled away.
"What?" He asked.
"Um, I just woke up. I kinda have morning breath."
He laughed a little but then he kissed me again. I have to say, I got caught up in the moment. Scooter was a pretty good kisser. I never really kissed anyone though, not like this anyways. I mean, yeah, I kissed Adam and Fulton before at a truth or dare game we played after the good will games. We went camping. That was soooooo much fun. Anyways, I pulled away.
"I think that maybe you should go."
"Why?"
"Because I wanna go and take a shower, then we can go hang out."
"Sounds good to me." He smiled and kissed me good bye. I was having the best few days, except for the fact that I was put second for a stupid goalie that sucks. Hopefully that will change though. Maybe this year wasn't gonna be that bad after all.
Well.. What did ya think? Review please!
