I spent the rest of the school day dreading practice, stupid Nick talking me in to this. Oh well. I walked to my fifth period, which was Math. It was the first class I didn't have with Nick. I found a seat near the middle of the classroom and sat down.
"Hi Adam." I looked up to see the girl I had meet my first night back in Minnesota.
"Hey," I said back looking slightly confused. What was her name? J something, Jessica maybe.
But thankfully she jumped in saying, "I'm Julie. We meet over at Charlie's house."
"Oh I remembered you, just wasn't sure on your name." She smiled with a relived sigh.
"So how's your first day here at Eden Hall going?" she asked.
"Alright I guess. The food was good." She smiled and nodded.
"So will I see you at hockey try outs?"
"Your on the hockey team?"
"Yea I'm the goalie."
"I didn't know they let girls play here." Her face fell from its bright smile, "Not that I don't think girl can play or something I just. But uh yeah I'll be there." I said slightly blushing. I was horrible at talking to people, especially girls. Thank god the bell rang. I sighed and sank back in my chair stupid! When the bell rang I nearly ran from the room.
After classes Nick and I meet up and walked to the locker rooms. A man I'd never meet was standing in there. He waited about five minutes us standing around talking. There were five of us.
"Alright, I want all of you to suite up and I'll see you on the ice." Nick and I sat down putting on my pads, lacing up my skate. I waited for him to finish then we both went out on the ice. The ducks were already scrimmaging. I stopped to watch them when Coach blew his whistle and motioned for us to come over.
"Every body take a knee. Everyone look at the number on you jersey. If you are above fifty you are red below you are blue. Understand?" A chorus of yes Coach Orion was heard. He blew his whistle again, "Alright lets scrimmage. I want to see what you can do." He said glancing at us.
I took a face off against Averman. I knocked him down and easily took control of the puck. I went flying ducking past people left and right. I passed the puck across the ice to Nick He took it up near the goal and faked out the goalie passing it back to me, I fired it in there right past Julie.
We skated right back to center ice. Both of us took hockey very seriously, no playing around, no pointless congratulations. We've scored before. He took the next face off against Jesse Hall. He actually was a good player and won the face off. Nick automatically took off after him he knocked him down from behind and took the puck; he took off like a light towards the goal. Passing the puck to me, I waited for him to get clear and fired it over to him he went behind the nets and slid it in past Julie.
I'd been playing with Nick since I learned how to skate. We knew where the other was going to be, we communicated I could second-guess every move he'd make.
I smiled and looked up into the bleachers excepting to see my Father smiling face. Disappointment washed over me. You knew he wasn't going to be there, my brain yelled at me. As I skated memories flashed through my head, my Dad and I buying my first pair of skates, my first goal in a hockey game. I guess I never realized that every single practice, every game of my life he'd been they're watching me, except today. I felt my chest tighten; I started sweating my heart began racing. The only way I know how to describe it was panic. Except this panic felt like it was chocking me. I don't know what was happening but I had to make it stop.
I skated over to the side and grabbed my water bottle, shaking as I took a couple of sips. Focus Adam gets your head in the game. I forced my self to calm down, skating back out on the ice trying to keep together. The rest of the game went by as quite a blur. I did all right, I decided.
When Coach blew the whistle we all turned, I saw Charlie go down to his knee I imitated him.
"Alright, Coach Orion and I have seen enough. First I want to say you all did a good job, but we only have room for two on Varsity. So go ahead go change will post you names on the back board in a few minutes."
All of us including the ducks headed to the locker rooms. I knew I'd done well enough to make varsity. I didn't know if I even wanted to be duck. Nick however was sweating bullets.
"Hey, you've got nothing to worry about, you did great." I said trying to make him calm down enough he'd sit still the incessant bouncing was getting to me.
"Yeah right. My passes were weak, and I had poor puck control." I couldn't help but roll my eyes. He was such a worrywart. I already knew he made varsity. He was an amazing player.
Coach Bombay and Orion walked in, Orion walked past pinning a bright white piece of paper on the bored. The moment the coaches walked out there was a huddle around the bored.
Nick turned back towards me, "Adam, we made it." He yelled. I smiled at him and turned back towards my locker.
"That's great." I said mustering all the enthusiasm I could. I changed out and packed all my pads away, Nick was over talking to the rest of the team.
Charlie walked over to me and sat down on the bench, "Adam, contain yourself, I've never seen you so excited." He said with a hint of amusement in his eye.
"Wohoo go team." I said pathetically.
"This is crap, you don't even want to be here. What's your deal preppy, to good for us?" Jesse said walking up getting in my face.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag. I was not going to fight with him; it was a waste of my valuable time.
"I was talking you to cake eater." He said getting in front of me giving me a slight shove.
"And I was ignoring you." I said stepping around him.
"That's it you preppy little rich boy," I felt him grab me from behind punching me once and shoving me into the lockers.
And that was it for me; I threw down my bag and punched him hard knocking him to the ground. He was faster than me but I was taller and outweighed him by quite a bit. We went at each other; I threw him into the lockers with all my body weight, his punching my stomach repeatedly. Charlie, Nick and the rest of the team came over breaking it up.
"Hey hey, keep it cool man." Russ Tyler said looking at Jesse.
"God Jesse, What the hell is you problem? Adam didn't do anything."
"What's my problem, you don't even know who you are any more Charlie. I'm your best friend, not that piece of,"
"Shut up Hall," I interrupted, "Look just leave Charlie out of this, alright. You're right I don't want to be here, but I didn't get a choice. You don't have to like me okay, in fact I prefer you didn't. Not when you just treated your best friend like shit because you don't like me. I guess your right I am better than you. I would never do that to anyone, epically not Charlie he's just trying to be nice. God grow up, were not ten years old anymore." Nick came over and slightly grabbed my arm.
"Lets get out of here." He said staring to drag me; I just nodded as he walked me out.
