            I felt bad for snapping at Guy, but I couldn't help it. That Kelsey girl was really pissing me off. I remembered everything that had happened years ago. I had a crush on Kelsey Henderson in middle school. But Kelsey Henderson was the richest, prettiest, and most wanted girl in the whole town. And I was just me. Charlie Conway. Nothing ever really happened between us, but seeing Banks with her brought back a lot of old feelings. Feelings of heartbreak and depression. It wasn't Banksie's fault at all, but the jealousy was there. Kelsey Henderson was still the prettiest girl I'd ever seen (don't tell Linda I said that), but she also turned into the bitchiest and the loudest girl too. And I just didn't think that she and Adam would ever last. I didn't want to see the cake-eater hurt.

            Sure enough, a week later, Banksie strolled into the Fall Ball with Kelsey hanging onto his arm. Blood boiled through my veins just at the sight of her sweet face, smiling at Adam. Linda put her hand gently on my shoulder.

            "Charlie?" I jumped.

            "Linda! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention," I apologized.

            "It's okay. Wow, did you see Adam with that girl over there?"

            "Yeah, let's um…go get something to eat," I tried to steer the topic of conversation over to something else.

            "Wait, I want to say hi and meet this girl. They're so cute together!"

            "No Linda, you really don't want to."

            "Why not?" She was already heading over. I sighed in frustration and reluctantly followed her over there as well.

            "Hi Adam," Linda greeted my team-mate with all smiles.

            "Hey Linda. This is Kelsey Henderson," he turned to the rat (that was my name for her), "Kelsey, this is Linda, Charlie's girlfriend. You remember Charlie right?"

            "Oh right," Kelsey's face registered in recognition, "the captain. Nice to meet you." Somehow, I got the message that she remembered me from middle school too. I wasn't exactly nice to her after I fell out of my crush.

            "So are you into hockey too?" Linda asked, smiling still.

            "Aww, fuck no. I just went to the game the other night to pretend that I was. Adam sorely regretted it, huh Banksie?" Banksie? Since when did she have the right to call him Banksie?

            "Don't remind me," Banks rolled his eyes at her playfully. Linda nodded slowly and excused herself quickly, rushing back to me.

            "Did you hear her curse? She really has no manners!" I could tell that Linda didn't like her much either.

            "Yeah well there's not much we can do about who Banksie goes out with."         

            "Well it won't matter because they're definitely not going to be going out very long. They totally clash. What if she hurts Adam?"

            "She'll have to face us. But I won't be able to resist the 'I told you so' speech."

            "Charlie Conway, you wouldn't!"

            "I would." And it was true. I was going to have a long talk with our #99 skater and tell him what a mistake he was making. I knew Kelsey from personal experience and our cake-eater would be in for a brutal smack of reality. I did feel badly for having to be the one to tell him the truth, but I couldn't let him get hurt by this bitch. They were total opposites and they were definitely not meant to be.

            The days came and went and by the end of the next week, I still hadn't gotten around to talking with Banks yet. I had, however, learned that not many of the other Ducks liked Kelsey much either.

            "She's a nice girl," Portman shrugged, "But she's not Adam's type." 

            "Yeah," Fulton agreed.

            Russ nodded, "She's too loud, not intellectual enough, and she's not a prep."

            "Hey that sounds like the perfect girl for Luis!" Averman teased.

            Luis rolled his eyes and shook his head, "She's just not his type. That's all I have to say. She's very nice though."

            "No she's not," I argued on that part, "She's anything but nice."

            Connie sighed, "Charlie just because you had a bad past with her doesn't mean she's a total bitch on wheels. She's just not right for Adam. Their relationship will have been over before it really starts. Stop trying to ruin his life."

            "I'm not trying to ruin his life! What the hell are you on, Connie?!"

            "Hey, I'm not the one judging someone who I haven't seen in years! And as I recall, you weren't the perfect gentleman to her either at the end of 8th grade!"

            "She started it!"

            "STOP IT!" Guy stood and interrupted both of us, "Just leave it alone, okay guys?" Everyone nodded in agreement. There was no need to get each other aggravated over it. But I wasn't going to leave it alone. I just couldn't.

Thanks for the reviews:

Adriana: Well I wasn't going to make it that way, but after you suggested it, I liked it a lot. Thanks!

Flat*Out*Crazy: Yeah Charlie's pretty dumb in this story. You're going to hate him in the chapters to come. He doeesn't have much a sense of humor either…nope.

Jess: Who do you think should be the first to actually listen to Adam about his feelings: Luis or Guy?

Chelsea: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Your review is hilarious! But yeah, I admit Charlie is being a real prick. =D

Please review!
