Chapter 1. Lunch
"Hey guys." Julie said sliding into the seat across from Portman.
"Hey Cat lady." Fulton said opening his milk. Portman just grunted and she didn't mind, it was his typical greeting when ever there was going to be a game. That day they were going up against the Bears again. It was not one of their favorite teams.
"Hi guys!" Goldberg called as he, Averman, and Ken made their way over to the ducks table. Julie smiled at the three wondering what Averman was going to do today. He was always up to something. She was so wrapped up in her own musings she didn't see the guy behind her pulling out his chair.
"Scoot over?" Ken asked and she started to when her seat caught on something. She moved to see what and frowned then both she and the guy from the other table started to pull at the chairs. But it just made things worse. She sighed and then felt her chair jam on something else.
"What the." Then suddenly the whole table groaned and scraped across the floor. Subsequently, Averman started the commentary and as she reached a hand over to try and dislodge her seat from the leg of the table something went wrong and all she got was her finger stuck.
Portman had been watching the drama topside but when he glanced under the table and saw the pain cross his teammate's face he slid under the table. Julie was trying to free her finger from the jumble of metal legs but to no avail. Tears of pain were now streaming down her cheeks.
"Stop!" Fulton bellowed jumping over the table, knowing that there had to be a problem under the table. He'd seen Portman's face just before he'd gone under.
"What's going on?" Charlie was asking but neither of the kids beneath the table seemed to hear as Dean used one hand to hold each of the tangled limbs and pull them apart.
"There." He said and watched as she cradled the finger a minute. "Here let me see." Portman said and just then the chair was pulled back. Julie yelped as the metal bar on its underside connected with the top of her head.
A growl began to rumble in Portman's chest but instead of going after the culprit he reached out and took her injured hand in his, checking for a break.
"It's not broken he said just as Connie's head appeared at the end of the table.
"You two ok under here?" She asked looking from the bash brother to her best friend.
"Yeah, I'm ok." Julie said batting away the remaining tears from her cheeks. "I'm just being a big baby." She muttered to herself.
"Her finger got caught when she tried to free her chair leg from the leg of the table." Portman explained asking Julie, "how's your head?"
"Your head?" Connie asked more confused.
"I hit it when they moved the chair."
"That was Adam, he checked to see if the leg was free and since it was."
"Better put ice on your hand if you're going to play tonight." Portman said fighting the urge to break heads including Banks'. He had no reason to. It wasn't like she was his girl or anything.
"Yeah thanks Dean." She said and he watched as she and Connie got up, she just called him what few dared. Oddly he didn't want to hurt her for it. He actually liked the way it sounded coming form the Cat.
Giving himself a mental shake Portman rose and found the others talking to Mr. Preston, explaining the situation no doubt.
"Banks." He growled and the tall boy turned.
"Portman?"
"Next time you do something like that be sure you know what you're doing." Portman growled then shoved passed the other boy.
Adam Banks Just shook his head and moved to take a seat.
