Two chapters in one day! I am on a roll! I hope that you like this one!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Charlie and Paige entered the Roller Disco. There was a large skating rink in the middle of the large space that was outlined with boards that went about three feet up with a couple of openings. Surrounding the boards were tables, chairs, a DJ booth, a snack bar, a skate rental booth and other such things. There was seventies music playing, disco balls, all kinds of lights and all of the windows were covered.
"Time warp" Paige said taking off her jacket and her jersey again.
"Yeah" Charlie agreed taking off his own jacket. They walked over to the skate rental booth and got their skates the kind with four wheels two in the front and two in the back.
"These are really dorky" Charlie said tying up the laces.
"Stop complaining and boggie" Paige said skating over to the rink.
"I don't boggie" Charlie said "I'm not a dancing person"
"Me either, I can't keep a beat I can only dance to slow songs because you know its step and sway" Paige said
"Me too" Charlie said.
When Charlie and Paige got to the rink a slow song came on and all of the lights turned to different shades of blue and purple.
"Speak of the devil" Paige said looking around at all of the couples snuggling together, dancing or kissing as the others slowed down their speed or just got off of the rink.
"Well may I have this roller dance?" Charlie asked holding out his hand.
"Of course what kind of lady would I be to decline?" Paige answered taking his hand.
He turned her around causing her to laugh. She went a little out of control and banged into him.
"Sorry" she smiled.
"That's alright. We warned each other that we couldn't dance" Charlie said.
"True" Paige said. "Shall we try again?" she asked smiling.
He nodded and wrapped his arms around her. She put her hands onto his biceps, which were in her opinion quite impressive. He moved his hand up her back and felt a thin scar on her just about where her halter stopped. The scar ran from below her left shoulder blade across from her spin to the side of her back.
"How did you get this scar?" he asked as his fingers felt it gently. He looked into her eyes. "Sports or something?"
"Or something" she answered gazing back at him. She could still feel the cool steel slicing into her flesh as if the knife had just cut her. She saw the look on his face and knew that he wanted an explanation.
"It's a long story" she shrugged.
"I have time" he said.
"Well I don't" she said. 'She's trying to shut me out' he thought which she was but she felt that with him she didn't need to. He was hurt and she saw it.
"It's just something that you wouldn't want to know" she said.
"Then why would I ask?" he said trying to make her feel comfortable with him.
For some reason she felt like she could tell him. She had never trusted anyone that quickly before. It scared her.
As if he knew what she was thinking Charlie said "You can trust me. I won't tell anyone"
"Promise?" she asked not quite sure why she was even willing to tell him.
"Cross my heart" he answered. She looked into his eyes and contemplated if she should tell.
"In September I got into a fight with this girl at a party. I'm not quite clear on why we even started throwing punches but we were" as soon as she broke their gaze she stopped talking and asked herself 'Why am I telling him this?' but when she looked back at him she continued.
"Well we were going at it and she pulled a knife on me. Ten stitches" she said. She didn't know what he thought of her now and him not speaking had made her very uncomfortable.
After contemplating what she had told him he asked "So who won the fight?"
This question threw her off and made her think if she wanted to give him the answer or not. 'You told him this much might as well tell the rest' she told herself.
"The cops broke it up so no one really won" she answered.
"Wow" Charlie said. This information was a bit to process. He hadn't really expected any of this. 'And I thought that the knife thing was bad but it also explain a lot' he thought.
"Is that why you moved and why Bombay needs to look after you?" Charlie asked "Because of the fight"
"Not exactly, it's because I got arrested and charged with assault" she answered looking away from him and braced herself for what he might say.
"Assault?" he asked.
"Since I was a first time offender I got off with a warning" she told him.
"So is that why you moved?" Charlie asked
"Not completely" she answered.
"There's more?" Charlie asked wide-eyed.
"I knew I shouldn't have told you" she sighed and skated away from him off of the rink. She quickly took off her skates and put on her shoes grabbed her jersey and jacket and left.
Charlie mentally kicked himself and he too replaced his skates with his shoes and took his jacket and exited. He looked down the street then up and he saw her. She was standing by the corner holding her jacket in one arm and running her hand through her hair. She put on her jersey and her coat. He walked up to her and turned her to face him.
"I'm glad that you told me" he said.
"No you aren't" she objected
"Yes I am" he said "I really am. So what is the other reason why you moved?"
"My parents found a bunch of alcohol under my bed and that was the last straw. They thought that it must have been my friends' influence on me. Pure pressure or some shit like that so they thought that I should be taken away from what they thought the cause was. They heard what great things Bombay was doing with you guys and thought that getting me on the team would be the right thing for me and plus they knew that I loved hockey and thought that a change in teams wouldn't be a big thing" she told him trying to suppress her anger but it showed in her eyes.
"So I came home from one of my games I enter my apartment and all of our stuff was packed. And that's when my parents broke the news. I was going to go to Eden Hall in Minnesota. They had Eden Hall scouts look at me with out my knowledge they packed up my things with out my knowledge and they were going to take me away from all of the things that I had ever known. The next day we were going to hop on a plane and fly over here" she frowned and closed her eyes trying to calm herself
"Those fucking bastards did all of that behind my back and then they told me that they can't trust me!" she yelled letting her rage out. She lowered her voice back to normal after taking a deep breath "They get Bombay to watch me and expect me not to be upset. They think that if we move then all of my 'problems' will go away" she made finger quotations when she said 'problems'.
She stopped talking and glanced at Charlie to see his reaction, his eyes were filled with sympathy.
"Don't give me that look" she ordered.
"What look?" he asked
"Like your going to say 'I'm sorry for your loss'" she said.
"I wasn't going to say that" Charlie said.
"What were you going to say?" she asked getting a hold of herself.
"It must have been hard and truly sucked. Then I was going to ask if you hated it here" he said.
She smiled "I don't hate it here. It's sure better here. Living in dorms is great. Much easier to avoid my parents when I don't have to live with them" she said "and there are other reasons why I like it here" she grinned.
"What reasons would those be?" he asked
"The Ducks are better at hockey then my last team also they are more of a team, Fulton is here" she listed off
"You mean 'we' are more of a team" he corrected "but is there anything else?"
"Oh nothing that I can think of" she said after putting on a fake 'thinking face'.
She laughed. "Is there anything that you can think of?" she asked
"Nope" he answered.
He looked at her and stroked her chin then dropped his hand to his side. Even thought she told herself that she shouldn't and that it was wrong for her to do her other half overruled. She stepped towards him and put her hands on the back of his neck and brought his head closer to hers and kissed him. It was an intense kiss. Charlie wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him as he kissed her back. She let out a soft groan as their kiss became more passionate. They seemed to be in sync responding to each other's moves perfectly. They pulled away slowly.
"Nothing?" she asked smiling.
"Well now there is something" he answered.
"We had better be getting back to school" she said walking towards a bus stop.
"Now you want to go back?" he asked.
As soon as they reached a bus stop a bus heading in the opposite direction that they had come from arrived.
They climbed on and went to the back the almost empty bus they sat down.
"So did you have fun?" Paige asked
"I did" Charlie said leaning towards her, he cupped her face with his hand and kissed her again. She moved closer towards him enjoying their kiss that was somehow better then the last, even more fervent.
She pulled away "Um Charlie do you mind if we don't tell anyone?" she asked
"About?" Charlie asked
"This" she said
"O. . . k. Why not?" he asked
"It's just that if the Ducks know then there are going to be a lot of questions and labels. And if the Ducks know then chances are Bombay is going to find out. Then my parents will know and that's never good. I think that all of that will ruin it. Do you understand?" she asked
"Totally and I agree it'll be better if they don't know" he smiled.
She grinned and moved in for another kiss ignoring the voice in the back of her head that told her she shouldn't.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So is she with him?" Connie asked after Fulton hung up the phone.
"Yep" he answered.
"Ok" Connie said going back to her dorm.
Dwayne walked out of his dorm and into the hall with his blankets wrapped around him.
"Dwayne what are you doing?" Connie asked.
Luis barged out of the dorm and started to yell at Dwayne "I do not just use them!"
"Trying to get away from him" Dwayne answered Connie's question.
Connie went up to Luis and put her hands on his shoulders and shook him slightly "Luis what's the matter?"
"Dwayne says that I use the girls that I go out with" Luis said as some of the other Ducks filed into the hallway.
"Oh it's a guy thing? I can't help you there" Connie said letting him go and walking into her dorm and closing the door. The door suddenly opened and Julie and Adam were shoved out into the hallway and the door was closed again.
Dwayne sat on the floor and looked up at Luis who was still yelling. He then slumped and then hit the floor and stretched out.
Luis stopped yelling and went back into their dorm and shut the door.
"Whoa" Guy said
"Yeah" Russ said. He shrugged "Do you want to finish studying?"
"Sure" Guy agreed and they went back into Guy, Adam, and Charlie's dorm.
"What happened?" Adam asked the Bash Brothers the only ones left in the hallway with Adam and Julie, besides Dwayne.
"I don't know" Portman answered. "What about you?"
"Connie kicked us out" Julie said.
"Oh you can hang out in our dorm" Portman offered. Even though this offer was for Julie only Adam didn't know that so they both went into the messy room with the Bash Brothers following behind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Charlie and Paige reached Eden Hall and entered their building. They met a teacher who handed them each a detention slips. They took them and climbed the stairs.
Paige came through the doors and pulled Charlie by the shirt towards her. They started to kiss avidly. They broke apart when they heard a loud muffled noise that had come from a heap on the floor of the hallway.
"What is that?" Paige asked walking toward the heap.
"I don't know" Charlie answered when they reached the heap it started to move. Paige kneeled by it and turned it over to see Dwayne roll out of his blanket causing him to wake.
"What are y'all doing?" Dwayne asked looking at Paige kneeling by him and to Charlie who was standing above her.
"What are you doing?" Charlie asked
"I wanted to sleep" Dwayne answered.
"Isn't that what beds are for not hallway floors?" Paige asked
"I was trying to get away from Luis" Dwayne mumbled as he got up and grabbed his blanket and tried to open the door. "He locked it" he said.
"Nice guy" Paige said getting to her feet. Ken came from Averman and Goldberg's dorm mumbling something about 'if they could only get along'.
"Do you have a key?" Dwayne asked him with a begging tone.
"Yep" he unlocked the door and let Dwayne in then turned to the other two. "What were you two doing?"
"We were just hanging out. How about you" Paige answered simply
"Trying to help Goldberg with his math. Averman kept on getting in the way. You know for a smart guy he sure is annoying" Kenny answered as he entered him dorm and closed the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Fulton was uncomfortable sitting on his bed. He wasn't physically uncomfortable because his bed was very comfy it was what was going around him that made him uneasy. Adam and Portman had been fighting over Julie for a while now. It wasn't an obvious fight and they weren't hurting each other. It was more that they were both trying to get her attention casually. She seemed to be oblivious to this. She was just having a good conversation with two friends (Fulton hadn't spoken for a while).
Fulton perked up when Russ walked in and shoed Adam and Julie out of the room. This made Portman upset because he was sending Julie away with Adam. What he didn't know was that as soon as they got into the hall Julie and Adam said hello to Paige and Charlie separated and went to their separate rooms with their roommates in tow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
End of Chapter.
That was a little short but what the hell. In the next few chapters I hope to have more Julie, Portman and Adam. Also a bit of Goldberg, a splash of Fulton and a little of the rest on the side. I hope that you liked the chapter! Bye!!! :)
