Chapter 09

ADAM'S P.O.V

I watched as Julie left the apartment, she was going to meet Scooter for coffee. I was far from thrilled about her going to meet him, sure I trusted her, I just didn't trust him, he was manipulative and could wrap anyone around his little finger. He had been the goalie for the varsity team back in the good old days of Eden hall. When I had been on the varsity team, he had talked about girls like they were trash, and although I wasn't on the varsity team when Julie was going out with him, the thought of him talking about her the same way he had every other girl he'd been out with, was always at the back of my mind. Not long after Julie had gone, the ducks came round, eventually they all knew that Julie had gone to meet Scooter and although they hid it well, I could tell they were all just as shocked as I had been.

"When you say Scooter, do you mean Eden Hall's varsity goalie"? Dwayne asked 5 minutes after explaining exactly where Julie was.

"Yes Dwayne". Charlie answered.

"I never liked that guy". He told us his observations.

JULIE'S P.O.V

I walked into the coffee house, Scooter had told me to meet him at. He was already sat in a window seat and jumped up as soon as he saw me. I headed over to him, where he embraced me gently. I felt rather uncomfortable as he held me close, but quickly put it down to the fact that I hadn't seen him in over 4 years. I sat in the seat next to him and we both quickly ordered a coffee. The silence between us started off comfortable but soon got a little tense.

"So how's life treating ya"? He asked finally.

"Yeah good, we've just been signed to be the next Olympic hockey team, which was a bit of a shock".

"What you and the ducks"?

"Yeah, who else did you think I meant"? I asked jokingly.

"I just didn't think you'd still be hanging round with the ducks".

"Well we all got scholarships to UCLA to be on the same team, so why wouldn't we hang around together"?

"No reason, I just always thought you were better than them". He told me, I didn't really like his tone, never mind his words, I quickly decided to change the subject.

"So what are you doing with yourself these days"? I asked, as our coffee's were placed in front of us.

"I'm a personal trainer, I live in New York, life's treating me pretty good. I was originally signed to play pro hockey after I finished college, but I decided that there wasn't much of a life in it". He told me, I couldn't help but think he was trying to make it out as though hockey wasn't good enough for him, but just right for me.

"So how'd you meet your girlfriend"? I changed the subject again, hoping for a more successful conversation.

"Oh I've known her since high school, we started dating when we both started at UCLA, and continued when I got transferred to my first choice college, Boston". Again he was making it sound as though UCLA hadn't been good enough for him. "What about you, are you dating anyone"?

"Yeah, I'm engaged to Adam now, we've been dating for 3 nearly 4 years now".

"What Banksie? Well the sly dog, he always did have a crush on you, even when we were dating". He informed me.

"Well, we are very happy, he's the best thing that ever happened to me". I replied getting a little angry. This wasn't two old friends catching up, this was just Scooter putting my choice of life down.

"I'm sure he is". He leant forward a little and squeezed my knee. I grabbed his wrist and pushed his arm away.

"Glad to see you haven't changed Scooter. I'm gonna leave, here's the money for the coffee". I shoved a ten dollar bill into his hand and headed to the door.

"Julie, wait up, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I still find you incredibly gorgeous". He followed me.

"Yeah well maybe you should have thought about that before you dumped me back in high school, in front of the whole varsity team". I argued with him just having to point out the last part of my sentence.

"That was like 6 years ago, we've both grown up since then".

"You know I've been saying that all day, but the fact still remains that you are still acting like the 16 year old that I thought I loved, but in fact I only really pitied". I told him. "I think I'm the only one who's actually grown up and realised exactly what you are, it's just a shame I didn't realise that all those years ago".

"C'mon Jules, we were great together, you could have all that back, all you have to do is say yes".

"I wouldn't say yes if you paid me". I began walking away from him.

"Julie, you know you don't want to walk away from me". He grabbed my arm.

"Scooter, take your hands off me". I turned and glared at him.

"And what exactly are you gonna do about it"? He asked thinking he was over powering me.

"This". I snarled as I stepped to him, raising my knee into his privates. He doubled over and I walked quickly away from him.

It wasn't long until I got back in, I wasn't the least bit surprised to find the ducks crowded into my living room. Adam got up straight away and stood next to me as I reached into the fridge for a bottle of water. I could tell he was dying to ask about my evening with Scooter.

"You're back early"? He observed.

"That I am". I responded.

"So, did you have fun"?

"I'd say so, I don't think Scooter would agree". I told him, receiving all the ducks attention.

"Why"? Connie asked eagerly.

"Let's just say, the last I saw of him, he was doubled over in pain on the sidewalk and had a good chance of joining an all girls choir". I laughed to myself.

"What exactly did you do Jules"? Fulton asked.

"My knee may have made a little contact with a certain region of Scooter's body". I answered plonking down on the sofa between Connie and Goldberg.

"And what may I ask, did he do to deserve that"? Charlie asked an obvious wince on his face.

"Well firstly he decided it ok, to squeeze my knee, then he decided to tell me that he thought we were good together and wanted us to have another go, then when I said no, he grabbed my arm, I pretty much think he'll be regretting all those things right about now". I laughed.

"So he hasn't changed then"? Adam asked from behind me.

"Not a bit, maybe a little more obnoxious, but still just as egotistical".

We chatted a little longer, staying pretty clear of the 'Scooter' subject, before I knew it, it was turned 10pm and the ducks began disappearing, wanting one last early nights sleep, before we officially graduated from college, but not before we organised another party to celebrate, though this time we were to make sure that all rollerblades were safely locked away and out of anyone's reach, as the last thing either me, Connie, Charlie and Fulton wanted to happen was to find ourselves being arrested again for the second time.

Well what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!
