Hey everybody I don't have a lot of time. But I wanted to say quickly thank
you to all my reviewer old and new! And that the next chapter will be up
later today or Tommrow! REVIEW please! I love you all
The next week over at Eden was a tense one. Classes went fine for Adam but hockey practice was a pain in the neck. The team still hated him and he'd been having problems concentrating on the ice. He found himself spacing out thinking of his past.
"Hey Adam." Julie said with her sparkling smile when Adam sat down behind her. She was the only member of the team outside of Charlie who was giving him a chance.
"Hey Jules." He said returning the pleasantries. "Did you get this math homework?"
"Yeah,"
"Ugh I could not get it last night. And I love Gordon and Casey really I do but they cannot do math."
"Well, I could help later, if you want."
"Jules you are an angel." He said kissing her hand. She giggled madly.
"So what do you think about homecoming?" she asked fiddling with her pen.
"I am so excited. You going with anyone?" He asked.
"No, not yet."
"Oh, well don't worry I'm sure some one will ask ya."
"What about you? Do you have a date?" She asked a hinting tone in her voice.
He got a huge smile across his face, "Well, It's was suppose to be a surprise,"
"Well you can tell me." She said leaning towards him.
"Nick accidentally let it slip that, Ashley she's coming out to see me."
"Who's Ashley?" Julie asked her smile vanishing.
"My girlfriend. We technically broke up because I was moving, but I called up a few days ago and I can't help it, I'm crazy about her. I was telling Nick all about it when he told me she missed me to and was coming out for our homecoming. Isn't great!"
"Oh yeah its great. Of course your girlfriend should a guessed." She said sarcastically but Adam, being a male, did not pick up on this.
(Julie POV) "Connie, I need to talk to you." Julie said sitting down next to Connie.
"Should I leave?" Guy asked from across the table. Julie had found the pair at the library studying.
"No, it might help. It's this guy I like." Julie started fiddling with her hair.
"Adam?" Connie asked. She squealed when Julie nodded.
"Alright so you like Adam. What happened?" Guy asked slightly impatient.
"Well I kinda brought up homecoming casually ya know. Find out if he had a date."
"Oh," Guy said, "Then I know what's wrong."
"Well, what should I do? I like him and I thought he liked me. This is your entire fault Connie, I was perfectly content with out a boyfriend. They complicate everything. No offence Guy."
"What? I don't even know what's going on? What do you know that I don't?" Connie asked looking over at Guy. "Explain this to me."
"Adam's girlfriend is flying out from LA to go to Homecoming with him. He was talking about it yesterday."
"Oh, Julie. I'm sorry. I had no idea he has a girlfriend." She said giving Julie a hug. The trio decided that Julie needed a major calorie fest to fix the Adam blues.
(ADAM POV) Julie acted a little weird through the rest of math. Wonder what going on with her? Oh well I will never understand women. I shrug it off. I'd been on cloud one hundred and nine since I'd found out that Ash was coming.
I headed over to the Study Hall. I had some spare time, so I settled in taking out my Physics book. I stared at it for at least ten minutes before my mind wandered to Ashley. I've been crazy about her for three years before I finally asked her out. She was the smartest coolest hottest girl I'd ever meet. Homecoming is in two week. Just two weeks before I could see her again. Man that seems like forever. This is first good thing to happen in like a month. The bell ringing snapped me from my daydreaming. I looked up at the clock, which read 3:35.
"Crap." I murmured under my breath. I was supposed to be at practice at three. I got up and ran off towards the rink. I came into the locker room; the team was already out doing scrimmages. I rushed putting on all the padding. I can't believe this, I've never in my life been late for practice. I grabbed my stick and took a beep breath. Time to face the music. I skated out on the rink over to Gordon and Coach Orion. The team stopped and looked over at me.
"Banks so glad you could join us!"
"I'm sorry I'm late Coach I just."
"I don't need to hear it. Now your are," he said looking down at his watch, "47 minutes late. 47 laps now." He blew his whistle and I set out. By the time I was done my chest was hurting. That was the fastest I had done laps in my life.
"I'm done with my laps, Coach Orion." I said softly.
"Bout time. Don't be late again Banks. Get out there." He his whistle and I joined the team out in center ice. I came down to take the face off against Charlie. I lost the face off and Conway knocked me down. I got up and chased after him but no matter what I did I couldn't get the puck. Now I'm not trying to diss Charlie by any means but what happened there.
"It's sure a shame." Jesse said over to Russ both gloating already.
"What?" I asked not even slightly amused.
"Your Daddy wasted all that money on a Rolex, but forgot to teach his preppy son how to read a watch. It just such a shame." Russ said him and Jess hitting hands.
Now I know I said I was going to ignore Jesse. I know I was supposed to rise above this. I even reminded myself. But it didn't work. Before I even really registered what was happening I found myself shoving Hall against the boards.
"Don't you talk about my Father!" I screamed at him. I got him backed into a corner when the whistle blew.
"Everybody Freeze!" Coach Orion bellowed. He skated up beside me. "What the hell is going on here? Banks what is your problem. Your late, you sucked out there and now you're fighting with Jesse. And you Hall get that smirk off your face. What is this? He's on your team. Just knock it the Hell off. Hit the shower team. Were having team meetings in fifteen minutes."
