Truth or Dare?
Chapter:8
It was the beginning of July and the Ducks were happier than ever. Fulton and Portman had begun to date,and Charlie was trying plead Adam into a date with him. Even Julie and Scooter were starting to progress in their relationship. Connie and Guy were working out a few problems,but they still pretty much loved each other still. Ken was trying to get a girl he had met at the skating park to notice him,too. It wasn't going so well,though.
On a nice Saturday morning,we find the Ducks sitting around in the park talking about pointless things,and Charlie was pleading with Adam.
"Come on Banks," Charlie said,"one date;that's all I'm asking."
"Conway," Adam began,"I don't have as much guts to tell my parents that I'm gay. I can't go out with you until I tell them."
"And when will that be?" Charlie asked.
"Hopefully," Adam began," when I'm dead and barried."
"Come on cake-eater," Russ said,"one date;that's all he's asking for."
"Don't you mean,begging for?" Connie asked.
"What is with ya'll and datin'?" Dwayne asked. In Texas all we studied was ropin' and line dancin'."
"Well,here in Minesota," Ken said,"we like to explore our 'choices.' "
"Come on Adam," Charlie said. I'll be a gentlemen for you. PLEASE!"
"Fine," Adam said,"just,please,let go of my leg."
Charlie had forgotten that when he was pleading for Adam's effection,he had grabbed his leg in the process. He let go and stood up. He then went over to Adam and sat down beside him. As they were talking the Varsity members walked up beside them.
"Well if it isn't the faggets," Riley said.
"Why don't you back off," Scooter said,standing up to face Riley.
"Settle down Scooter," Riley said,"we're not calling you a fag."
"We're just saying you hang out with 'em," Cole said.
"What is your problem?" Connie asked.
"You Ducks are my problem," Riley said. Your little trick in the club was cute,but that doesn't mean you've won. We're gonna make your life a living hell next semester,and you Ducks better be ready.''
"Don't worry," Fulton said,"we will be."
The Varsity members turned their backs and headed back toward their car.
As soon as they were gone the Ducks got back to their conversations;that was until they heard a familiar voice.
"Ducks," yelled the voice,"get your sorry butts up,you've got practice." They turned around to see coach Bombay and Orion walking over to them. The whole team ran over and hugged their old coach. They said quick hellos and Bombay spoke again.
"If you guys want to take up for yourselves against your new teammates,you're gonna have to practice," Bombay said. I know they've been giving you a hard time since you're going to be playing on the same team next year,but we can show them you're good."
"Uh coach," Charlie started,"that's not exactly why they don't like us."
"Out with it Conway," Orion stated,"what's the other reason they don't like you?"
"Some of us are....uh....," Charlie trailed off,but Portman finished for him.
"Coach," Portman began,"some of us are gay."
