"Did you guys see Tori?" Julie laughed pulling her long blonde hair out from under her uniform as she and the rest of the Ducks changed for practice. "She's out there skating sprints, she's so going to burn herself out."
"Good maybe, she'll pass out from exhaustion or something, it'll be nice to have a practice without her." Russ groaned, tugging on his jersey.
"And she's such a coach's pet, Orion treats her like her word is gold." Charlie muttered, jealous of the fact he was for once not the favorite player.
"We don't need that crazy babe anyway, I think coach should've just left the team be. Cowboy'll be able to play sooner or later." Portman grumbled loudly, from where he stood near the bubbler.
The locker room door swung open and the entire team snapped to attention anticipating their gruff coach to come storming in. However they were wrong and the person that did come in turned out to be one of the last people they expected.
With a friendly smile on his handsome face Jesse declared. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"Jesse!" Connie squealed and hugged the boy as the rest of the team charge toward him.
"He followed me home guys, I didn't know what to do with him. But he's cute so I thought I'd keep him." Banks teased, pinching Jesse's cheek. "Not sure if he'll hit in the shoebox under my bed though."
"Back up, Cake-eater." The ex Duck chided, elbowing Adam lightly in the ribs. "Uh Germaine, could you help me here?"
Guy got up from the bench and detangled his girlfriend from around Jesse's neck, explaining too her. "You have too let Jesse, breathe."
Fulton patted his past teammate on the back and told him. "It's good too see you man."
"Thanks, Bro."
"What are you doing here, Jesse?" The captain asked, double knotting his skates. "You didn't decide to come back did ya, cuz we could really use you right now."
Banks frowned and narrowed his eyes at Charlie "No, we don't need him Charlie, we've got, Tori."
"Yeah, the psycho bitch from Hell."
Jesse shook his head confused. "She didn't seem that bad too me, a little flaky but cool."
"Yeah, cool being the keyword, as cool as ice." Goldberg spoke up.
"Cold as Hagen Das." Averman added.
"Shut up, Averman." Jesse groaned.
The door opened again and Orion walked in with his usual square shouldered, commanding presence. He ordered the rest of the team onto the ice and instructed Adam too suit up and show Jesse where the spare practice gear was located. He then did an about face and followed the majority of the team out too the benches.
When Banksie and Jesse were ready to go, they too headed out to join everyone else. Adam lead him over toward Tori, who like normal was standing off too the side, separated from the rest of the Ducks. She smiled slightly when Adam gave her shoulders a friendly squeezed, blushing uncontrollably when she noticed Jesse. Being around cute guys really did totally unhinge her and she wondered if she'd be able to concentrate on the scrimmage with him there. Jesse Hall, her dream guy, it was almost too much.
The coach divided up the players and sent those assigned too the second and third line too the bench. Tori sat on the floor, alone. Jesse had been put on the other team and Banks was a first line player. She watched as Adam stole the puck from Luis and barreled down on Julie, slipping it past her stick with ease. She felt bad for laughing when Julie tried to stand up, but slid back down, but she didn't like the female Goalie at all and thought she deserved it.
Her stomach knotted when she took the ice. If she messed up in front of Jesse, she'd cry, it would be that embarrassing. She watched as Averman and Jess went too the center of the ice for the face off which, Jesse easily won. He set out toward the opposite goal, which Goldie was half heartedly guarding. Without thinking Tori went after him, checking her crush hard into the boards, only to trip and have the puck stolen by Kenny. It was humiliating. When Orion blew the whistle to end practice she was still mortified.
"That was stupid, Victoria, very stupid." Tori scolded herself as she sat alone on the quad. "That's the perfect way to impress a guy, hurt him and then fall on your face."
"I dunno, it worked pretty well for you." The brown haired girl jumped at the voice behind her and turned too see who'd snuck up on her.
"Jesse, um, hi." Tori plucked a blade of grass that was stuck to the bottom of her sneaker.
"That was a pretty good check, if you don't mind me sayin'. Can I sit."
Tori shrugged "The grass is a little damp."
"It's alright." The boy lowered himself beside her. "The guys'll be out in s minute anyway. We're going to the diner that the Charlie's mom works at, you comin' with?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Because your friends hate me."
Jesse chuckled. "Yeah, I noticed that. Banks likes you though."
"Yeah, Adam's cool. I think he understands me."
"Hey Jesse we're goin' you comin'?" Russ yelled, waving in the direction of the parking lot.
"Yeah. We'll meet you there." Jesse called back.
Russ nodded and walked too the back of the rink to get in someone's car.
"We'll meet you there?" Tori raised her eyebrows?
Jesse grinned. "Yup, you're coming too so let's go."
~* Thanks too nottshockeygirl99 for pointing out that I had the wrong player stealing the puck from Tori. This is what I get for typing faster then I think. It said Dwayne, but I meant Kenny, so I fixed it.*~
