Chapter 13
Disclaimer: I do not own the mighty ducks and I am not getting paid to do this.
Wow, things are really progressing. Again thanks for the review. And no I don't base Lily on myself there are a few similarities I guess but that is bound to happen I guess.
Connie's POV:
There is no doubt I was good friends with Adam, but than again I was best friends with Julie. She was the only other girl on the team so naturally as soon as we met we bonded. It also helped that we were always assigned to room together. I was put in an awkward situation. They used to date, and as far as I could tell they were deeply and truly in love. Almost like Guy and myself, and that is saying something. The only thing was they kept their whole relationship a secret. I was the only one on the team that knew, and none of the others had a clue. I managed to keep it secret, I didn't even tell Guy. Keeping things secret in my opinion was a mistake– but I understood– they were both very private people. It could have led to their breakup but I could not be sure of that.
I did not really know many of the details of what went on between them, Julie told me when they had started going out which was way back when we were playing in the Goodwill games. I heard about some of their dates among other things, just mainly trivial details of something that was much bigger. It had all ended the day before Christmas break.
It was not an amiable breakup either. That day I found Julie sobbing with a handful of clothes in her hand. She broke down when she was packing. After much comforting; the only thing she would tell me was that it was over. I tried to comfort her but she was distraught, and was quickly on a plane back to Maine.
Well Banks on the other hand I had no idea how he took it. He just kinda disappeared for a while. He did not tell anyone what his plans were for break, that was unlike him. When we were all back to school he would not even talk to Julie let alone look at her.
At the moment it was obvious that Julie was still in love with him, and was more than willing to get back with him. Everyday she would ask me how he was and what he was doing. Not that I could really help her– we talked on occasion in class and when he hung out with us– but it was never really serious conversation. I was considering fixing things between those two– they were obviously meant to be– I made a mental note to discuss things with Julie later. Its been almost a year its about time she talked about it.
" Connie, where are you?" Charlie asked as he threw a handful of popcorn in my face. That also meant he threw it at Guy because my head was resting on his shoulder.
" I am thinking, you might want to try it sometime" I responded.
" Ouch she got you" Guy added laughing.
" Thanks Connie. I appreciate it" Charlie said scowling.
" No problem" I said smiling at him, sweetly.
A few of us were in Charlie and Adam's room watching the last of The Lord of the Rings movies. It was our annual movie night– a way to kind of blow off steam– since Mondays tended to be a little stressful. Only half of the ducks could actually attend tonight something about homework and tests. Julie was among those absent. She too gave the excuse that she had way to much homework, but it was because she was scared to run into Adam. Last week we also ended up in their room, only because the lounge was packed. Adam had been in here doing work or something at his desk. I could tell she was uncomfortable. It was a shame though because tonight Adam was no where to be seen.
" Do any of you guys have a sharpie or something?" Portman asked rather randomly.
" I am sure there is one around here somewhere. Why?" Charlie responded looking rather intrigued.
Portman did not say anything but he pointed to Averman who was passed out on the floor. I couldn't help laughing and I wasn't the only one. Charlie got up and dug threw a few of his drawers.
" Damn, I don't even have a marker" he said
" I am sure Banks probably has one. Do you think he will mind if I look?" I asked directing my question to Charlie.
" Nah, just don't mess up his stuff." he warned
I went over to his desk and it didn't take me long to find one, there was one actually sitting on his desk. The more intriguing thing was he had some girl named Lily's phone number written on a post it note. That couldn't be good, at least for Julie.
" You find one?" Dwayne asked eagerly. He was probably looking to enact some revenge. Even though it was years ago, we had all heard about the shaving cream incident.
" Yep" I said turning and tossing it to Portman, and he instantly started drawing on his face. He drew a moustache and a beard and various things on his cheeks. After Portman Fulton and a few others including Dwayne had their turns. I didn't really pay much attention. I returned back to sit with Guy, and concentrated on the movie.
" Hey" I heard from behind as Banksie entered the room. I hadn't even realized how late it was, the movie turned out to be longer than expected I guess. He didn't seem to mind that we were sprawled all over the floor of his room. But that was Banksie for you.
" Hey" A few of us said in unison.
" Sorry man. If you want them to leave its cool" Charlie politely said.
" No, its alright. Besides your almost done.." He trailed off after he saw what had become of Averman's face.
" Nice one" he added.
" Thanks, we know" Portman said.
Adam headed to his side of the room, and sat on his bed. He was right the movie was done in fifteen minutes. We woke up Averman, of course no one mentioned the artwork that was now all over his face. He probably wouldn't notice till tomorrow morning. And who knows if it would come off right away. We all headed off to our rooms, and I kissed Guy goodnight.
When I got back to the room Julie was already sleeping so I would have to remember to talk to her tomorrow, not that I would mention the number on Adam's desk or anything. Hopefully it would mean nothing.
There's a little bit on what happened, and it will be totally explained later. Sorry again it was a little short, but it doesn't combine well with the next part. Promise. Chapter 14 coming soon, hopefully
