This Chapter is just a filler fluff thing that sort of leads up to the next
chapter.
Beaner: I am so happy that you like the beginning of the Charlie/Paige relationship! And the reason was 'interesting' eh? Is that code for boring or disappointing? Hmm? After I finished the chapters I realized that there wasn't any Connie and Guy stuff. But there was Connie and there was Guy just not together. And for whom Julie will choose I have made up my mind and I shall not change it. Now whom she chooses will either make you happy or piss you off but I hope that you will still keep reading my story. And I love your reviews whether they are short or long (of course I prefer long lol but they always make me so happy)
anne918: short but sweet and demanding lol. I hope that you like the Adam and Julie stuff that I have in this one.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Paige is now playing with the Ducks in games. [I started writing a chapter about her first game that she played but it seemed kind of boring so I stopped and I think that sentence pretty much covered it :) Ok on with the story]
Thursday December 3, 2003 [Ok so I like little specifics like this once in a while to give a feel for the time. I'm strange or so my friends tell me constantly]
All of the Ducks were congregating around their usual table for breakfast. It was the day after the open house.
"What day is it?" Fulton asked as he slumped into his chair in between Paige and Portman.
"Thursday" Averman answered sitting in his chair a cross from Fulton.
"No I mean the school day," Fulton grumbled
"It's a day one," Averman answered.
"Oh great here I thought it was a day two!" Paige said sarcastically getting up with her bag. She was walking towards the exit when a cheerleader came by and pored her orange juice on Paige's white long sleeved shirt.
"I don't have time for you" Paige said looking at the girl who was pretending to apologize as if it was an accident.
"That was pay back for what you did to my boyfriend," she said
"What?" Paige asked she couldn't believe that Riley would stupid enough to tell
"What you said to my Cole about his . . . thing" she said
"Oh that well he deserved it," she said "but thanks for the payback you're really original," she added mockingly.
"Whatever" she said walking away to her friends who were laughing about the 'little spill'.
Paige just rolled her eyes and exited the room.
She got up to her dorm and changed her top to a gray long sleeved sweater and switched her books to her day one classes. She left her dorm and was almost knocked down by a person running by.
"Whoa. Slow down" she said as she turned to see who had ran into her. "Oh. Hey Charlie. Late like usual?" she asked.
"You could say that" he answered.
"Well you had better get to the cafeteria before first period" she said.
"I could or I could do this" he grabbed her and drew her into one of his fabulous kisses. She touched his hair and laughed. He pulled away and asked "What?"
"Your hair is wet," she said smiling still feeling it. She moved in for another kiss, she couldn't get enough of them and neither could he.
The bell rang and they stopped kissing, still embracing each other they looked at one another and smiled.
"I'd better go," she said not moving.
"Me too" he agreed not moving either.
"Ok then" she stepped out of their embrace. "I'll see you at lunch?" she asked as they started to go their separate ways.
"If not before" he answered. His response sort of confused her but she shrugged it off and headed for her first period class.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The bell that signaled that first period had ended seemed to take longer then usual but when it finally did all of the Ducks sighed in relief and started to go to their next classes (well at least most of them did).
Adam got to French early so he could have a few minutes to talk to Julie who was in his same class as him. So was Paige but that didn't matter to him but she was the one who showed up first.
"You look disappointed," she said sitting behind him in the back row of the class. "Upset that I'm not Julie?"
"No" Adam said with out taking his eyes off the door.
"Banks you suck at lying you know that right?" she told him.
"So what if I am?" he shrugged
"There is nothing wrong with that I think it's sweet," she said getting out her textbook.
"What's Charlie doing here doesn't he have gym?" Adam said looking out the door.
"Does he? I'll go ask him" she quickly got up and left the classroom
"You are supposed to be in gym," Paige said walking up to him.
"That's right I am but I just wanted to come by and say 'Hi'," Charlie said
"Is that right?" she asked
"Come on" he took her hand looking around at the mass of people to make sure that no one saw them go into an empty classroom.
"You needed a private space to say 'Hi'?" she asked teasingly as she went up to him but he couldn't respond because she was giving him a steamy kiss.
The bell rang and she turned to look at it "I want to break that thing" she said. Charlie cupped her face and turned it back to him for another kiss. She moaned lightly.
"This isn't fair" she groaned as she ran her hand up and down his arm.
"What isn't?" he asked
"Now I have to go back to French class and usually I'm fine being board sitting there because I didn't have anything really better to do. But now I do and it's all your fault" she complained.
"I know the feeling," he agreed
"Good job" she punched him lightly in the arm that she was rubbing.
"Would you rather I not do this anymore?" he asked
"No I never said that" she objected.
He smiled and started to move in for another kiss but she stepped away.
"Oh no if you do that then I'll never get to French class," she said.
"Ok then we had better get going" he said walking towards the door.
"You don't always give up that easy do you?" she asked stopping him before he could reach the door and kissing him yet again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Julie arrived at French, which made Adam happy.
"Hey Adam" she greeted as she sat in her chair beside him.
"Hey Jules" he smiled.
He was just about to ask her how Geography class was when the bell rang and the teacher walked into the classroom which made Adam not so happy.
"Bonjour" Ms. Popes greeted
"Bonjour Madame" the class chorused back.
"Passé Composé . . ." she started to review the lesson to the class. She just was moving onto irregular verbs when Paige peeked into the room and saw that the teacher's back was turned. Paige quickly crept into the room and was just about to sit down when without turning around the teacher said "Bonjour Paige"
"Hi" she said sitting down.
"'Bonjour Madame'?" she corrected.
"Yes that" Paige said causing soft giggles in the classroom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The bell rang and they all headed for lunch.
"Why would anyone want to take French as an option?" Paige asked, "I had to because it's mandatory in grade nine to take French back where I come from but why did you two do it?"
"Paris" they both answered.
"What?" Paige asked but never stayed to hear the response because she saw Charlie "Never mind talk to you later" sped up to catch up to him, and then this disappeared.
"You've been to Pairs?" Adam asked Julie
"Yep we go to Europe every other year for vacation and all the years we don't go to Europe we go to someplace hot" Julie answered. "What about you?"
"Every year, my dad says that 'it builds world knowledge,'" Adam answered, "which doesn't really make sense because we never go to Asia or Africa or anything like that"
"The thing parents say" Julie agreed
"How did Paris make you want to speak French? Did you just not understand what the people were saying or what?" Adam asked
Julie laughed "Well no . . . to tell you the truth the movie Casablanca contributed to me wanting to speak French," Julie said
"Me too" Adam agreed "'We'll always have Paris'" he quoted the movie.
"You like that movie too?" Julie asked
"Yeah" Adam grinned
"If I tell you something do you promise you won't laugh?" Julie asked
"Of course" Adam said intrigued.
"I've always wanted to fall in love in Paris or meet a guy that I had fallen in love with in Paris" Julie said blushing
"Get out" Adam said
"Why?" Julie frowned
"I've always wanted to do something like that too," Adam said truthfully.
"Really?" Julie asked
"Yeah I'm a sucker for that sort of thing" he said then lowered his voice "But if you tell anyone that I might have to kill you"
"It's in the vault," she said
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All of the Ducks besides Charlie, Paige and Connie were sitting at their table eating their lunch when Connie came pulled out her chair and then slammed down a sheet of paper onto the center of the table then sat down.
"There's going to be a winter formal" Connie said excitedly.
Kenny took the piece of paper off the table. It had 'Winter Formal, Friday December 19th ' written on it with sparkles there were sparkly snowflakes glued on it. In black ink it had the address of the Minnesota club on it (where the Varsity team pulled that cake/bill prank), the room number and the time 10:30 pm -3:00 am. In pink letters it said 'Attendance Mandatory'.
Half of the Ducks didn't seem too thrill while a quarter didn't really seem to care and the other quarter were excited.
"I'm not going" Dwayne said
"Too bad cowboy you have to" Kenny passed him the Formal ad.
Paige and Charlie came over to the table holding their trays.
Charlie put down his tray "What are you looking at?" Charlie asked grabbing the sheet of paper from Dwayne.
"A formal?" he said
"What?" Paige asked taking the sheet of paper "Mandatory? I say we revolt who's with me?" None of the Ducks responded "Looks like it's going to be a one-person rebellion"
"When is it?" Russ asked from the other end of the table.
"On the last day of exams" Kenny answered.
"Great exams and then a formal" Paige said shoving the paper away from her forcing it up into the air and to fall onto Averman's plate.
Averman picked it up and looked at his food and was happy to find it unharmed not a sparkle in sight.
"It won't be that bad" Connie said, "I think it'll be fun"
"Would that have anything to do with you having a guarantee date?" Fulton asked looking at Connie then to Guy "For us single folk it's not as fun"
"Sucks to be you" Russ said smiling.
"Shucks I'm really starting to hate this school," Dwayne said.
"Oh come on with your southern charm I'm sure you'll be able to find yourself a date" Julie tried to reassure him.
"Don't bet on it" Dwayne mumbled.
"I vote we go in a group," Averman said.
"No" Russ objected, "all you without dates can go in a group but those who do should be able to go with them without a bunch of Ducks tagging along"
"I agree" Luis said looking over at one of the cheerleading tables.
"Surprise surprise" Dwayne said glaring at him.
"Shut up" Luis ordered.
"Hey guys why don't we calm down?" Charlie said
They were quite but they shot each other dirty looks.
Fulton sighed and looked miserably at his food.
"Cheer up Reed. If you don't get a date then we'll do what we did at the camps dances. It's tradition this one formal shouldn't make any difference." Paige said.
"Ok" Fulton agreed perking up a little.
"What did you do at camp?" Charlie asked
"We would go together if we didn't get dates," Fulton told him
"Which we never did," Paige added.
"Thanks for reminding me" Fulton glowered.
"It's what I'm here for" she said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Julie and Portman were walking to their fourth period class the last of the day.
"Do you have anyone in mind for a date to the formal?" Portman asked
She hoped that the question wasn't leading what she thought it was leading to. "I think that I'm just going to go with Dwayne, just as friends. He seems down needs some cheering up," Julie answered.
"Oh that's cool" Portman said disappointed as they walked into their math class.
He sat in his seat in between Julie and Luis.
"So Portman I have narrowed down my list of who I might ask to the formal to three lovely ladies. Phoebe, Annie or Cynthia" he said, "What do you think"
"Aren't those all cheerleaders?" Julie asked
"Yes" Luis answered
"Wow you are moving through them quickly soon there won't be any left" Julie said
"So who do you think I should go with?" Luis asked Portman again ignoring Julie's comment.
"I don't know" Portman answered.
"What the hell kind of response is that?" Luis asked, "You usual give me a lot more then that"
"Yeah well" Portman shrugged giving a quick look at Julie.
"Don't hold back on my account I am interested to find out how you rate girls. I don't have a problem with it. Girls do it all of the time" Julie said noting Portman's glance.
"You do?" Portman asked "So do I always score a perfect ten?"
"We don't rate our team members" Julie lied
"Yes you do" Portman said "I can see it in your eyes"
"So what if we do are you telling me that you all have never compared me, Connie and Paige?" Julie asked.
"I never said that" Portman shook his head.
"This isn't helping me with my problem" Luis whined.

End of Chapter
I warned you that it was going to be a filler type thing. But I am hoping to have to formal happen in the next chapter but who knows. I hope you enjoyed it!!! :)
