Chapter 2
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
I sped out of the apartment I shared with Julie my girlfriend of nearly a year. I had been up a few hours already, checking through the papers I had written last night. Needless to say I needed them that day, but I'd never admit that to Jules, she'd have a field day being able to lecture me on time efficiency and such.
As I reached the corner of my street I saw Adam and Guy waiting for me, looking rather impatient by my 5 minute tardiness.
"Hey, sorry guy's". I panted when I finally reached them.
"Couldn't get away from the cat"? Adam asked slyly but not meaning anything by it.
"I wish, I was checking through my paper for Professor Edwards". We began walking briskly down the road. Luckily I only lived a few blocks away from school and only another few blocks from my moms apartment and diner.
"Please tell me you didn't leave it until the last minute again Charlie. You know he always knows". Guy whined.
"Ok, yeah I did, but I'm still a firm believer that my work is just as good, left till the last minute as it would be if I did it straight away". I argued my case.
"Give it here, let's take a look. If you get less than a B your average will go down and you'll be 'riding the pine pony'"! Adam said, mimicking Coach Orion on the last part.
Luckily for me, Coach Orion had eased off a little from High school. He no longer expected a B average from us. Luckily for me it was a C average. He still expected to see B's on our report cards but often when it slipped to a C, he'd have a talk with us and either help us himself or get the rest of the team to help. Needless to say he still expected the best when we were on the ice, which actually suited me fine as all my tensions and stress could be taken out on the puck and ice.
"I think you've excelled yourself Conway. This is one of your better papers. Though will Edwards think that"? Adam praised me.
"Who cares, he wouldn't give me an A even if it was good enough. I heard he's only ever given 1 A out in his whole teaching career". I informed my friends.
"Changing the subject, what are you doing with Jules for your anniversary"? Guy asked me.
"I haven't decided yet. I'm kind of edging towards taking her to LA and staying where we did when we were in the goodwill games". I told them whilst watching their faces for expressions.
"Why LA. I know we played in the goodwill games there but other than that". Guy asked confused at my suggestion.
"Well, duh, that was the first place me and Julie met". I nudged him.
"Oh right. Hey that's not a bad idea, I could take Connie back to where we first met". Guy had a brain wave.
"I'm sure Connie would be ecstatic to go back and visit kindergarten". I told him laughing with Banks.
"Here's the last of the big spenders, ladies and gentleman. He's taking his girlfriend nearly a mile away back to KINDERGARTEN". Adam joined in the laughter with me.
"Ok, ok, it's not as fancy as LA but can I help it if you'd got to travel half way across America to find a girl willing to date you". Guy got his own back.
An hour later, I walked out of class with Guy and Adam by my sides. Trying our hardest to recover from Professor Edwards explicit lecture on the timeline of American history.
"Thank God we only have that guy twice a week. One of the guy's in my dorm has him nearly everyday". Adam whispered to me and Guy.
"Hey Guy's what you up to"? Connie asked as she and Jules made their way over to us. We all had the next lesson of English together.
"Trying to recover from him". Guy said as he took her hand and I rested my arm around Julie's waist as well as giving her a little peck on the cheek.
"He can't be that bad, surely. Have you met the Phys ed teacher Ms Russell. Now she's a slave driver". Julie said.
"Believe us, he's that bad and yeah I've met her, she seems quite nice". Adam protested.
"Probably because she's got a crush on you. She chased this one guy down the corridor once, threatening to nip his butt". Connie replied.
"Ok, you win, but only because of the butt nipping thing". I gave in respectively.
After another hour of monotonous English, we walked idly out of the classroom. I felt half dead as it was and I had another lecture before lunch. Luckily it was with Ken and the lecture was being given by Mrs Williams who lectured from a book and wrote endless notes on the white board, all of which Ken wrote down meticulously.
I pecked Julie on the cheek as she warned me to have a stretcher waiting for her in the lunch room. She and Connie had Ms Russell and apparently she tended to work them harder with them being on the hockey team.
"Hey, Kenny my man". I ran after him as I noticed him walking abruptly to the lesson.
"Let me guess, you want a copy of the notes from toady's lecture". He sighed and grinned. He didn't really mind, as he had once told me, he enjoyed helping the team with work, it gave him something to do and helped everything go in deeper.
"You got it in one". I laughed as I picked up his pace and we soon entered the class.
As predicted, Julie and Connie stumbled exhaustedly into the mess hall and sat down next to us. We all looked at them shocked. Sure they always seemed tired after Ms Russell's lessons but never like this.
"Kill me, kill me now". Julie barely whispered when she's plucked up enough energy.
"What the hell does she do to you guy's to make you as tired as this"? Portman looked oddly at them.
"Hey you try, running a fifty laps, followed by a hundred sit ups, then after all that you have to search for the energy to do intermediate aerobics. Then if we have enough time left she makes us do even more laps". Connie panted.
"Why don't you just drop the class". Luis pointed out.
"We can't. Phys ed is part of our scholarship, if we want to play hockey with you guy's we've got to do her class". Julie began getting her voice back slowly.
"Whoa, way harsh". Russ sympathized with the girls.
"You gonna eat that"? Goldberg asked Julie, noticing she wasn't eating yet.
"Nah, here have it". She slid the tray gently across the table to him. "I haven't got the energy to eat".
"You gotta eat something". I told her, slightly worried that she wasn't eating.
"I got something for later. Don't worry". She responded.
After a few minute some of the team disappeared off to their lessons, leaving me, Julie, Connie, Adam, Guy and Fulton. Connie was nearly asleep, her head lolling on Guy's shoulder, Fulton was receiving help on his math by Adam and Julie sat completely still trying to revitalize her energy.
"So I've got spring break almost planned". I said at last.
"Oh yeah. What we doing then"? She asked interested but hardly moving.
"That's the surprise, just make sure you have your summer clothes packed and passport up to date". I replied.
"Jules, you almost ready for math". Adam and Fulton waited for her.
"Yeah if you want to carry me". She laughed gently and got up slowly, kissing me as she did so. "I'll see you at 3". She said, then I watched her walk out with the guy's.
Please R&R!! Hope you enjoyed it.
