"Where the hell is Banks?" Coach asked looking around the locker room.
"Didn't you hear Coach, he declared himself to good for us," I scoffed at Russ oh so kind words.
"Conway," I looked up from my skate that I had been lacing, "Run over to his dorm see if he's there,"
"Why do I have to?" I whined.
"Because you're the Captain, now go." I slid off my half laced skate and threw my shoes on.
Stupid Banks. Stupid Orion. Stupid, stupid-ness. I pulled my jacket tighter around my body. The cold weather had come early this year. In the freezing cold off to try and find someone I'd rather not see.
"Oh look it's Captain Duckey," Just what I need, Varsity goons. "Are you lost little duckey? Shouldn't you be flying North for the winter?" I couldn't help but laugh at Cole's dumbness.
"South you idiot," Banks said hitting Cole's arm.
"Hey Banks, have you seen your brother?" I asked as they turned to leave.
Jason turned. He looked in deep thought for a moment and shrugged, "No,"
"Any idea where he might be?" "Hmmm, with my brother you really only have two options. He's either up in his dorm room, lying on his bed buried in blankets, brooding. Or he's at our house laying on his bed listening to loud music, and brooding." He said nodding before leaving me in the dust. Great I'm looking for Mr. Brooding. . Adam's POV earlier that day.
I feel like shit. Today is shit. My life is shit.
Shit.
Not one word could better describe my mood right now.
By miracle of God I managed to drag my ass out of bed this morning, so here I am sitting in the fabulous cafeteria eating breakfast. Cafeteria food is shit. I spoon around the un-edible substance that they claim is eggs.
RIIINNGGGG
"Shit," I muttered grabbing up my backpack. Now I'm late. I started at a half run for my English class. Wait, I stopped myself mid hallway. Why bother? It's not like I did my homework. So why go and have moronic teachers rid my ass?
I turned on my heels. Forget that.
The door swung open before I could even knock.
A startled roommate laughed putting his hand to his heart, "You scared me,"
"Sorry, is Adam here?"
"I assume he's somewhere in there but I have no proof. Good luck," He said walking past me.
"Thanks," I said muttering. Thanks a whole lot for leaving me alone in the room with Mr. Weirdo, I appreciate it. I walked through the doorframe. One side was immaculate the bed was made nothing on the floor. The other side however hosted a bed that looking like a rock concert had taken place on it, there were books and paper flung about and clothes every which way.
"Banks," I said making my way through the danger zone. "Banks," I said a little louder. "Come on, you gotta wake up your late." No response from the heap. What is the best way to wake up a sullen teenager? Bombay style. I walked over to the wall and threw the mattress over spilling the contents including one blonde boy onto the floor. "What do you want?" He growled at me.
"You never showed at practice, Orion sent me over here."
"Screw Orion, screw practice." He said finding his pillow and settling back down.
"I don't think so," I waded into his pile and pulled him up.
"Ow,"
"Ow what?" I asked stepping back a little.
"You stepped on my leg you ass hole." I had to laugh. He sounded like a cranky four year old.
"Whatever, just get up." I said sounding rather cross.
"No," he said again more forcefully.
"Yes," I said grabbing at him again he of reeked of alcohol.
We ended up wrestling around on the floor for a few minutes before he started laughing. "What?"
"You do realize were pathetic right. I mean there's you who would give anything to get me off the team, and you are here yelling at me for not being at practice, I mean why the hell do you even care?" He laughed again, this time it sounded weird. "And then there's me," he broke off laughing, "who would give anything to be you," He spat those words at me.
"What,"
"Oh put a pipe in it Conway. I know what your going to say, oh why would you want to be me your so fortunate bladdy bladdy blah." He raised his voice mimicking me. "But it's shit Conway, and you know it. You don't anything about me. You made up your mind about me two second after laying eyes on me.
"You did the same to us," I said losing patience. I deal with enough drunk crazy people okay, I do not need to add him to the list.
He laughed again, "I remember watching you, you and your stupid little Ducks. You couldn't even skate. I was better than you. I knew that, I was ten years old and I knew I was plain out better than you. Even then I would have given my left arm to have my Mom look at me just once the way yours did after every game. Every game that you lost might I add." He yelled staring at me. "I had a reason to hate you, you and your stupid friends and your happy little family." "You know, you got one thing right. I don't give a damn whether your there or not." I got up.
"Then leave," He said his voice threatening.
And I did. I ran most of the way pack to the rink.
"Conway, took ya long enough. No luck?"
"Coach I think we need to talk." .
Yes, I know shockingly enough I live. Sorry the updates have been taking so long, I'm struggling to fall back in my grove. But never fear, as long as you guys like it there will be more!
Gina: Thanks baby! And never fear, it's impossible for me to stay in a bad mood for more than like five minutes, lol. I hope you like, and I can't wait to hear from you! Pyro44: Ahh, I hope things are getting better for you and Adam very soon. Thanks for being such a wonderful reviewer!
Namida: Thank you, and I will!
Jess: Ah I'm a softie, Adam will be just fine! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
Portmanroxmysocks!: lol, first love the name baby, and second thank you very much!
DigitalAngel4U: Thanks so much for the support, I hope to hear from you again!
Okay that's all folks! I hope you enjoy and I can't wait to hear from you! Rachel
