Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I do not own the Mighty Ducks, and I am not getting paid to do this.

Lily POV:

I never thought I would be so lucky. When Mr. Martian announced that he would be assigning lab partners I was not exactly thrilled. My current partner was Katie, and it made labs fun. Even though I was barely managing C's, I did not want to get stuck with a random person it would be too awkward. But as it turned out I was way better off.

" I think I should tell you I am terrible at this" I told Adam as we were setting up.

" Well don't worry. I am pretty good at this. It will all balance out"

I laughed but there was no way he could know how terrible I was but I guess the good thing was that I managed to try.

" So what do we do exactly?" I asked staring at all the red and blue wires, and the circuit board thingy.

" Its really pretty easy" He said and he started explaining. The whole time though I was concentrating on his gorgeous blue eyes, and didn't catch a word of what he was saying. He also started attaching wires to things, and in about a minute he got the light bulb to light up.

" Perfect, you are such a genius" I explained

" Thanks, its nice to know I am good at something" He said happily.

" Speaking of your many talents, you have a game tonight right?" I asked

" Yeah, you gonna come watch?" he responded.

" No, unfortunately I have to go home for dinner but I will be back by eight" I said giving the boy a major hint.

" Yeah" he said obviously not getting it.

" If you wanna hang out afterwards, we could watch a movie or something." I inquired.

" Yeah that sounds great" he said looking up from his work to smile at me. I started attempting to wire the second circuit, well I started randomly attaching wires to things.

" You're never gonna get it that way." Adam said laughing. " Let me show you". He took the wire from my hand and unhooked what I had done before.

" You have to do this" he explained and informed me on how these circuit things worked, and what you had to do. For once physics actually made sense to me. I started wiring the third one and I actually got both light bulbs to light up.

" Nice, now who's the genius?" Adam said smiling.

I turned to see how Katie was doing with her new partner. It didn't look like things were working out. That girl Julie was getting frustrated with her it was obvious, and Katie did not seem to care.

" Looks like things aren't working out for everyone" I said nodding towards Katie's lab station.

" Figures" he said in kind of an upset voice. It kinda made me wonder where that came from.

" She played hockey with you right?" I asked

" Yeah" he responded and went back to his work. I could tell from his tone that he didn't want to talk about her. I assumed there was some sort of history between them, but I didn't want to pry. After all I didn't really know Adam that well.

" Oh I almost forgot, here" I said as I wrote my cell phone number on the back of his hand.

" Don't lose it" I warned.

" I won't" he said, just as the bell rung signaling the end of class.

" Well I guess that is it for today" He said as he closed his notebook.

" That was fun for physics class, I am glad you are my partner" I said truthfully.

" Same here" He responded.

" Lil, oh my god. Can you believe this?" Katie came up behind me and grabbed my arm.

" I don't know how I am going to deal with this." she continued, obviously talking about her lab partner situation. She started pulling me towards the door.

" See you Adam, Good luck." I said as I followed Katie's lead. I barely had a chance to grab my bag before I walked into the hallway and towards our lockers.

" You are so lucky" she said

" Yeah I know" I laughed as I threw some books in my locker.

" I can not deal with this girl. I am going to ask to switch or I am going to like die" she said. Not even caring about what the teacher told us, maybe because she wasn't paying attention or because she just did not care. Either way she was fighting a lost cause.

" Good luck" I said.

" Eh, you have to go to dinner at your father's tonight right?" she asked.

" Unfortunately yes" I sighed not that I minded my dad. It was more or less my step mother I could not stand.

" Have fun, I am gonna go deal with this." she said slamming her locker door. " See ya" she waved as she headed down the hall towards the physics office.

I pulled on my jacket, hat and mittens. Grabbed a book or two that I would need tonight and started walking back to my room.
