-Chapter 2-
I shook thoughts of Bombay's betrayal from my head and walked around aimlessly after my first day at Eden Hall. I was fuming from practice, so I had taken a walk to cool down a little.
It didn't help much.
The Ducks came into view, and I went over to them, hoping to restore some normality.
"Hey guys," I said, though my voice was likely still bitter.
"Hey Charlie. You and Coach sure had a blowout, huh?" Averman cracked.
My mouth twitched slightly. "It's not my fault the Ice Nazi doesn't know how we opperate."
"Maybe you should give him a chance?" Connie asked me.
"What?" I asked incredulously, vocalizing my disbelief. "Why the heck would I do that?"
"He's not that bad...SURE he made me third line, but Bombay left us with him; can he really be that bad?" Russ said.
I felt my chest burn and my head cloud when Russ mentioned our former coach. Note the word: former.
My voice chilled.
"What does that have to do with it He abandoned us, so what concern is it to him where we're dumped?"
"He got another job; so what? Coach Orion isn't that bad," Julie said with a shrug.
"Easy for YOU to say, Cat Lady; he put you on the first line," Goldberg piped in.
"Look, maybe YOU don't care that he betrayed us, but I do. You've only known him since the Junior Goodwill Games, but he was the closest thing to a father I've had in awhile, and he LEFT! He abandoned us for a stupid JOB! We ask him to stay, but he says this job is far more important than us. Maybe THAT doesn't mean much to YOU, but I'd say it's good reason to be upset!" I sais sharply. I didn't mean it to come out so viciously to Julie, but I couldn't hide the frustration.
"Cool your jets, Conway. Breathe," Russ said in response to my outburst.
Fulton gave me a sympathetic look from next to Guy. I took a calming breath and tried to calm the sudden surge of anger.
When I discovered it wasn't working, I let out an aggressive sigh and turned to leave. "Just forget it, okay? If you want to sell your soul to that drill sergeant, be my guest. What do I know anyway?" I snapped sarcastically.
"Charlie..." Fulton started before I held up my hand.
"I'm heading home." I couldn't stay much longer. Why were they not supporting me in this? Was I the only one who was going to stand up to this guy?
They may have said something afterwards as I was leaving; I wasn't sure because I didn't wait around to listen.
