I am very sorry I know that it has been forever since I have updated. I
feel bad. Bring on the beats. But better late then never right? ....Right? I
understand if you don't review because of my lateness and shit but I hope
that you will find forgiveness in your heart and write a little review!
Ktmeister: I agree Connie and Guy are a very cute couple. I was watching Shrek too! It was on the television, I love it. Ok and oh wow. . . um right I don't mind that you get side tracked, I space out like I just did then with the 'ok and oh wow' so it's all good. I'm sorry to hear about your breakup and Steve and your stepmother. I hate stepmothers (not all of them . . . but I had a bad experience that has lasted since the marriage) I'm happy that you are feeling sympathy for Paige. Pathos really works! I am not going to virtually slap you! (At least not at the moment but I will keep your offer in mind . . .) And as for what was going to be happening over at Julie's I wasn't really planning on explaining it I was just sort of using it, wait no I'm not going to tell you why I made a distraction I have a feeling that you will find out. So sit tight and enjoy the ride!!!!! :-P
Sassy-4eva: I know that there has been a serious lack of Julie and Adam! It's just that I kind of wanted a couple of other things to happen. Like Paige and Charlie stuff but also that whole thing with Connie and Guy you know when she said she loved him? And he said he loved her too? I thought that was important, and I couldn't have a lot of Adam and Julie stuff because they weren't even in the same state but in this chapter they will be so I hope you like it. There will be lots of Julie and Adam but it's . . . well you'll see.
Banksiesbabe99: I fear that the reasoning behind the loud crash won't be coming now if at all. Sorry you were getting so excited :'( I'm glad that you can forgive Paige and that you are excited about the Julie and Adam and Connie and Guy stuff. I hope you enjoy!!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Julie and Adam were walking to the dining hall. This was the first moment that they had shared alone since Julie had gotten back. When she and the other travelers had arrived the Ducks had a small welcome back party so she and him were too busy with having fun of other sorts to speak more then 'Are you glad to be back?' and 'Yeah I'm happy to be back here' with a shy smile 'with you'.
Adam glanced down at Julie's hand that was dangling beside him as if begging to be held. He reached out and grabbed it. Julie looked down at their hands as they laced fingers. She smiled at Adam as they entered the noisy building. They reached their table and saw that there was only two chairs left at opposite ends of they table. They reluctantly let go of each other's hands and parted to sit down.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Connie was sitting happily at the table covered with cafeteria breakfast food. She had yet another cold shower that morning and she even spilt milk on her math homework but she just couldn't complain. She was on cloud nine and on this cloud was Guy telling her that he loved her. She still had his voice in her mind set on replay saying those three words.
"Connie!" there was a blur of skin waving in front of her face. She blinked and shook her head. She must have dazed off.
"What?" she asked the hand that was still moving inches away from her face.
"It's about time you snapped out of it" Luis said retracting his hand. "Did you do the Spanish homework?"
"The Spanish homework?" she questioned back trying to collect her thoughts
"Yeah you know Spanish? There was homework. Comprendé?" he asked looking at Connie seeing if she was even paying attention.
"Oh yeah I did it" she nodded
"Luis why are you even taking Spanish I thought that was your first language?" Paige asked from across the table.
"It is" he grinned
"So an automatic A?" she asked understanding what he was doing now.
"Yep" his smile widened.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Adam happily walked into his French class and took his usual seat and looked over at the empty desk besides him as his stomach did a little flip- flop as he thought about whom the chair belonged to. Paige walked in with that grin that she frequently had on her face in-between classes.
She sat down behind Adam and started to search for her French books.
"Paige" Adam began to ask as he turned to face her "do you really like school?"
She grimaced "No way"
"Then why are you always smiling whenever you are in the halls or entering classrooms?" he asked suspiciously
'Oh no he doesn't know about me and Charlie's little in-between visits does he?' she asked herself but quickly answered his question "I'm just a naturally happy person" 'Yeah right' she scoffed at herself "Hey look it's Julie" she said pointing to the blonde that had just came in. "Fhew" she sighed as his attention went to Julie.
The bell rang and it was time for lunch. The three hockey players exited the classroom and headed to the mess hall.
"I can't believe that we have a French project assigned on the first day," Paige grumbled as they exited the school building. They walked down a path surrounded by snow.
"It's Eden Hall what else would you expect?" Julie said wrapping her arms around herself trying to make herself warmer. Adam seeing this put his own arm around her shoulders.
They gave each other small smiles. Julie liked having Adam around her. It gave her butterflies. It was all so new and great. Their moment was interrupted by Paige's complaining.
"Yeah but a project on a city in France in French. That's a little much," she said pulling her carrier bag more onto her shoulder as they entered another building.
The three friends went into the cafeteria and into the line for food.
Yet again Julie and Adam were separated by the lack of seats together.
Adam took a chair beside Kenny who immediately asked him how it was going with Julie.
"Pretty good it's just we haven't had any time alone" Adam told him truthfully sending Julie a longing look.
"The Ducks getting in the way?" he asked almost apologetically.
"The Ducks and school. But I think we're going to hang out after school when all of our homework is done" Adam said perking up at the thought.
Bombay hastily went over to the table, which instantly got the Ducks attention.
"Ok gang it's good to see you all back" he greeted beaming at the table
"That's not the only reason you're here is it Coach?" Portman asked looking up at the man standing by his chair.
"No Portman it's not. I'm here to remind you all that we have practice after school" he told them with a serious tone "we need to get back on the ice as soon as possible. We do have a game next Friday and because you guys have been off for two weeks I'm adding on more practices"
This information made most of the teenagers sitting at the table groan. Bombay held up his hands signally them to be quiet so he could continue.
"I know that's a bummer but I am expecting to see you all at all of the practices. If you don't show up without an acceptable excuse then you are going to be benched at the game" he said sternly "And my dog ate my hockey pads isn't an acceptable excuse" he said this looking at Averman who turned to Goldberg and whispered "It was worth a shot at the time"
"Ok again glad to see you back and looking forward to seeing you all at practice, on time" he stressed the last two words and then left.
"So much for the hanging out after school plan" Adam mumbled to no one in particular.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Period three
Guy and Charlie walked into their Geography classroom and sat in their usual seats in the back with Luis and Ken sitting in front of them.
"So how is it going with you and Connie?" Charlie asked as casually as he could mange.
Guy eyed him suspiciously "Fine. Why?"
"No reason it's just you two have been together for a really long time, which is great, you must have deep . . . feelings for each other" he said while questioning why he was even having this conversation the only 'feelings' that Charlie and Guy ever talked about was anger towards Coaches, teachers, games, Varsity that sort of stuff. Never love.
"What are you getting at?" Guy asked his suspicion increasing with the word 'feelings' that wasn't something they discussed aside from hate.
"Nothing! Can't a guy talk about emotions without getting criticized? Why do girls only get those rights? We all know that we have feelings so why don't we express them? By let's say . . . telling a person's girlfriend about them perhaps?" he burst out. Luis and Ken turned in their seats.
"What is he talking about?" Luis asked softly not wanting to pry Charlie so he would go into another rant.
"Feelings, I guess" Ken shrugged
"Maybe we should back away slowly while we still can" Luis suggested while inching away from his Captain.
Guy was trying to figure out what he was saying when it just dawned on him that Connie might have told Charlie about her loving him before she told him. But why would she tell? And why would she tell Charlie of all people? At this point Charlie was burying his head into his arms on his desk. Why had he even started this conversation?
"Forget it" his words were muffled by his arms and flannel shirt.
But Guy couldn't 'forget it'.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Adam and Julie walked hand in hand into their chemistry class and were automatically greeted by the other four Ducks in their class.
Fulton pulled Adam into the seat in between him and Russ.
"So Cake Eater how's it going with you and Jules?" he asked curiously. It wasn't every day that a couple of the Ducks got together.
"Well I've spent more time telling you all about how it's going than actually being with her" he told them rolling his eyes.
"That sucks" Russ said "So how far have you gotten?"
"What kind of question is that?" Adam asked angrily. 'Did he think that his sweet Julie was fast?'
"Calm down Banksie I was only kidding" he said defensively.
"Good one" he shot back sarcastically. Adam was hardly ever sarcastic only when he was extremely annoyed.
At the lab table across the room Julie was also being questioned. She was sitting at the end of the table with Paige beside her and Goldberg beside Paige.
"So you haven't broken up yet?" Goldberg asked leaning in front of Paige.
"No Goldb-" she began to answer when Paige interrupted.
"Goldberg back off" she pushed him back into his seat "and stop with the third degree. They haven't even been going out that long and your already wondering if they have broken up? Give them a chance to make something to break"
"What makes you think we're going to break it?" Julie asked a little hurt by Paige's comment.
"I wasn't saying that you would break I just meant that you guys need a chance to be. You and Adam are perfect for each other. Both love hockey, both great at school, both come from rich back rounds" she started to list off.
"Both blond" Goldberg added
"Both blond" she echoed "See you like fit into this perfect little box of destined to be together. I could easily see you becoming one of those couples who get married and be like 'He was my high school sweetheart'"
"Really?" Julie asked hopefully. She wanted Adam to be her high school sweetheart.
"Of course" she said earnestly "and you're both blond," she added with a teasing grin.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The end of third period bell rang and the halls were filled with bustling students.
Guy was taking out his textbooks out of his backpack just so it could be refilled with more.
"Take her" Portman ordered lightly shoving Connie in front of him. "She's scaring me with her super happy attitude. She's acting like a cheerleader on X" He then left as quickly as he could mange with a mob of teenagers in his way.
"Good old Portman. He's actually quite nice I wonder why he's so grouchy" she stopped talking when she saw Guy's solemn face. "Why so glum chum?"
"You are acting like a high cheerleader," he agreed with Portman's previous statement as he slammed his locker shut.
"Guy" she tried to stop him from walking away by putting her hand onto his shoulder. But he just shrugged off her soft touch and mumbled, "I have to get to class"
He then entered the thinning crowd. She watched him walk away questioning herself of what she could have done wrong.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That was possibly the longest practice we've had since the Goodwill games days" Julie said as the three female hockey players entered their dorm.
"I wouldn't know" Paige shrugged and went over to her desk and started on her homework as did the other two.
After a while of silent writing and typing Paige looked up from her undecipherable math homework.
"Connie what's the matter?" she asked leaning back in her chair to see her friend.
"Nothing. Why?" she answered not looking up from her science. 'Nothing but a couple of days ago Guy was telling me that he loved me and now he will barely talk to me'.
"Well this morning you were bouncing off the walls with glee and now you are so quite" she responded turning back to her math and tried to contemplate the graph before her.
"I told Guy that I loved him" she sighed and decided she might as well pour her heart out to her two friends.
Paige froze and then turned in her chair slowly to see Connie. "You did. Wow you have guts"
"What did he say?" Julie asked leaving her English paper up on her computer screen.
"He said that he loved me too," she said smiling.
"I can see why you were so upset," Julie, teased
"But now he is barely even talking to me" she said the smile fell from her face.
"When did you tell him and when did he stop talking to you?" Paige asked still surprised that Connie or anyone would tell someone that they loved him or her.
"I told him New Year's and he stopped talking today" she answered sighing.
"Oh then it might not have anything to do with you telling him that you love him" Julie pointed out.
Connie considered this for a second. "Paige what do you think?"
'I think that he got scared. I think that he's being a jerk. I think that all guys are jerks' she thought. "Um...I think that you should talk to him" she said but there was a questioning tone in her voice. She wasn't used to giving advice.
"I've been trying to" Connie said "But I'll try harder..." she got up and went to the door and towards Guy's room.
