~* I realize that Reagan comes off as a Mary Sue, but in truth that was on purpose. Every high school has that one girl that all the guys want and all the other girls want to be. So if you don't like Mary Sues please don't read this story, I would not want to anger anyone.*~




Goldberg sat in the locker room lacing his skates, watching Luis go on about his business, like he hadn't just broken up with the most popular girl in the sophomore class at lunch break. But that was the type of guy Luis was after all, break ups didn't bother him in the slightest. Ever since Mindy had decided the year before that she couldn't deal with spending her weekends at McDonald's or the arcade, when she was used to candle lit dinners and romantic sunset walks on the beach. Once she left him, it seemed as if he didn't really want an emotionally connected relationship.

He went through Eden Hall's highly sought after girls like water, Reagan being the latest. But the list before her no shorter then ten girls long. All at the top of the social latter in their hoity-toity school. From head cheerleader, too the first chair violinist in the student orchestra, no one could resist his charms, or tame his wondering eye.

"So Mendoza, got a new chick in line?" Portman asked pulling his jersey over his dark curl covered head.

"Girls Portman, they're called girls." Banks corrected from where he stood wrapping his wrist.

"Got him trained don't ya Jules?" Charlie observed teasingly.

"Yup, and it only took three months." Julie smiled. She'd been seeing Adam since the last month of freshmen year, when Scooter came to the conclusion that he couldn't go off to college with a girlfriend still in high school.

"Anyway," Luis interrupted "yeah I've got a girl in mind. I'm thinking about Goldberg's friend, what's her name, Kate?"

"Yeah right Luis, you're about as likely to get struck by lightning… twice… standing in the same place." Goldberg declared.

"So talk to her from y Goldie, tell her how nice of a guy I am." Luis said with a grin.

"No way, I've already been circumcised thanks." Goldberg kidded, causing the whole team to burst into laughter.

"Are you saying Kate would turn me down?" Luis snorted.

"No, I'm saying you've got a better chance of being struck by lightning twice, while standing in the same place, then to get her to date you."


Reagan sat in the middle of the bleachers watching the game, after strategically picking that area to sit in. She didn't want to be sitting close enough to the bench that it could be interrupted that she still had feelings for Luis, or all the way at the top where it would be made obvious she was trying to avoid him. Reagan was the type that wanted everyone to think she was cool to the bone and that this break up not only didn't matter to her. She wanted everyone to believe that she was the female version of her ex.

Kate on the other hand sat in her usual seat, not directly behind the bench, those seats were reserved for the players girlfriends, but in the row behind them. She fidgeted and bounced, sipped her Sprite and twirled her twizzler in the air, like pompoms.

"Go Eden Hall!" She yelped as the team came onto the ice.

Halfway through the came however she was beginning to feel bored. After the first period hearing the announcer tell everyone but the great scores Fulton or Russ were making, or Banks' and Charlie's hat tricks, or the fantastic puck handling by Dwayne, just became lackluster. By second intermission she was contented just to stand in the lobby of rink and watch the game through the door. It was there she was standing when the team, freshly showered from they're latest victory came to exit the building.

"Hey Simpson." Luis winked at her as he leaned around Connie to swipe Guy's water bottle and take a swig.

"Ugh, hi Luis." She groaned, rolling her eyes. "Hey Greg, I've decided I'm gonna join the cheerleading squad."

"What?" Goldberg sputtered, choking on his Gatorade.

"Sure, watch. Quack, quack , quack, red and black, Eden Hall Ducks, Yay!" Kate ended her skit with a cartwheel.

"Uhuh, are you feeling okay?" Her friend put his hand to her forehead.

"Hmmm, I think I could use a roast beef sandwich from the Deli, that may help me feel better."

"Me too, you guys comin'?" Goldie asked the rest of the team.

A course of 'yeah', 'of course' and 'you bet' was the answers.

As Goldberg and Kate headed out of the rink, in front of the rest of the group, his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"Those two look so cute together." Linda acknowledged walking up beside Charlie. And everyone but Luis agreed.
