Gunnar stared, Connie stared, it seemed like the whole world was staring. Well that was definitely an awkward moment, correction, is an awkward moment.

"Gunnar? Gunnar Stahl?" Connie finally asked as she picked herself up from the floor. Gunnar was a little more than confused, how did she know him? And an even bigger question, what was she doing in the guys' dorms?

"Huh?" He asked blinking, Connie blinked as well.

"You don't remember me do you?" Gunnar shook his head. 'Of course he doesn't remember! After all it's not like your one of the greatest hockey player out there' Connie thought as she shook her head as well.

Was it just him or was she doing a lot of things that he was doing. It was like she suddenly became his long lost fraternal twin and they didn't know anything about each other, but did everything the other did.

"I'm one of the Ducks." Connie said, she hadn't expected him to be there of all the people. That would mean that he was the exchange student. "You're the exchange student right?"

Gunnar merely nodded, oh the cruel, cruel fate that was to be set upon him. Of course Destiny couldn't spare a little mercy on him and had forced the first person for him to meet at the school was a Duck.

Connie smiled and started walking away. "Well see you around the school."

Connie started running and headed for the library of boredom to tell all the Ducks that she could about her current "discovery", leaving poor Gunnar very confused, and senseless.

Gunnar sighed and continued mapping the school in his brain, even though he'll still probably get lost on the first day of school for him. He hated being stuck in a place where everything is different and this time he had no team to back him up.

Gunnar's mindless wandering ended him up at the cafeteria were it was fairly empty except for a few kids just wandering around, he made a note in his mind of how he got to the cafeteria and continued wandering around the school campus.

He with his horrid luck, as everyone should know by now, had stumbled upon the cheerleaders' squad. They immediately spotted the new "prey" and made their move in slowly not to surprise the "prey"

"Hey, you're new here aren't you?" A blonde cheerleader asked. She looked like a slutty airhead, but so did the rest of them. "I'm Mindy Pinkerton, head cheerleader."

As if Gunnar would be impressed. Frankly Gunnar thought that all cheerleaders were brainless sluts, good for him. Gunnar remained silent; he was pretty content in calling them all the names he could come up with in his head.

"And you are?" she asked looking, "sweet", Gunnar was from Iceland, not stupid.

"Gunnar Stahl," he answered putting his hands in his pocket and started walking away. The cheerleaders started whispering.

"Mysterious guy," one of the other blonde cheerleader said, "I think I'll go and make him mine."

"Get in line," Mindy said as they went back to their mindless chatter. It seemed that everything that the cheerleaders did were mindless.

"Guys! Guys!" Connie shouted as she entered the library earning her some loud "shhh's" but she didn't notice and rushed to Julie's table and slammed her hands on the table, making everyone jump.

"What!" Julie asked frustrated about being distracted when she was finally being able to understand at least some calculus. She also got some more "shhh's". "Oh be quiet."

"I know who the exchange student is!" Connie said excited as she was panting for breath as she sprinted all the way there. This has gotten everyone's full attention. "It's Gunnar!"

Silence was not what Connie was expecting; actually she didn't know what she was expecting at all. "Guys?"

"Gunnar? Well this will be more awkward than it already was," Ken muttered, great they replaced Cole with one of the best scorer in the world, they all wondered what will happen this time at the JV vs. Varsity show down. "He'll probably pick on me more than Cole and Riley did."

"Come to think of it, we don't actually know much about him, except that he can't get past Julie's amazing goalie skills," Connie said making everyone smile. "He did go out on his way to make all of his team say good game to us."

"Well I'm not sure if it was luck, or strategy, but since Bombay kept me on the bench all tournament long, no one knew what I could do and he underestimated what I knew about him. It was all a fluke," Julie said modestly. "Now, since we now know your reason to bother us at this time, either stay and be quiet, or leave us alone."

Connie stared; Julie was way too stressed out. "Rude."

Connie walked off to find the rest of the ducks to tell of the surprising news.

Gunnar sighed; well at least the students act normal, even if he hated how they act. He had noticed that the cheerleaders were speaking pretty fast English and he had hoped that he would be able to understand most of it.

Luckily for him he hasn't run into anyone that liked to "slang up" their words, but he was pretty sure he would. He looked at the nearest clock 4 o'clock and he had barely seen anything around the school. This was pathetic, he was slow and confused.

Where was he anyway? Okay now, he was slow, confused, and lost. Gunnar opened the nearest doors and found himself face to face with the ice rink. It wasn't as big as the one that they had in Iceland but he could deal with it. One of the hockey teams were practicing, he had guessed that it was the Eden Hall Warriors because of the Duck that he had run into.

The coach blew a whistle catching everyone's attention; they all kneeled in front of him expecting him to say something. The coach motioned Gunnar over to them and he obliged.

"You must be Gunnar Stahl, star player on the Iceland Vikings at the Junior Goodwill games," He said when Gunnar had reached them on the ice. Gunnar nodded and kept silent letting him do all the talking. "I'm Coach Wilson and this is the Eden Hall Varsity Warriors which you will be joining this year."

"Hey Scooter, don't he look like you?" Gunnar had heard someone mutter. He looked at the team and saw someone that did look a lot like him, who must have been the so called "Scooter" whom the duck had mistaken him from.

"Alright that's it for today's practice," Wilson had said as he had sent off the team leaving him and Gunnar alone. "We have practice every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7, and every Tuesdays and Thursdays as soon as class is out. I expect you to be there at every practice, no exceptions."

Gunnar nodded as Coach Wilson left him alone on the ice. Gunnar sighed, he was alone, and lost, literally. Well he was until the Varsity team was exiting the locker rooms. A group of guys surrounded him on the ice as the rest had just stood back.

"Well, well, look what we have here," The leader, or who he thought was the leader, said, "We exchanged our best enforcer for a Scooter look alike, if we're not lucky, he'll even act like him!"

Scooter stepped into the circle. "Hey guys knock it off, whether you like it or not he's on the team, just like I am."

"Scooter, dear Scooter, this is coming from a guy who needs the Ducks' protection." Riley said circling Scooter. And then he said harsher. "So watch what you're doing, because the Ducks can't always be there."

Coach Wilson came out of his office when he had noticed that the Varsity team was still there. "Hey, hey, break it up, and get to your dorms now."

The guy who threatened Scooter did what he was told, but Scooter stayed behind with Gunnar.

"Are you okay?" Scooter asked. Gunnar nodded. "Don't worry about Riley; he's just an obnoxious jerk. He's nothing if he wasn't the team captain. He was extremely stupid last year and the Ducks had beaten us in the JV vs. Varsity showdown. By the way I'm Scooter, Varsity's star Goalie."

Gunnar stared; these American's sure did have odd names. "Any way, what's up?"

"What's up?" Gunnar looked up. "Well there's the ceiling."

Scooter laughed, and Gunnar caught on, it was slang. "No I mean what are you doing?"

"Well I was trying to map the school, but it didn't work out, I can't find the auditory."

"I'll take you there."

A/N: Okay that was shorter than the first, like I usually make the second chapters. But thanks for reviewing guys! It was going to even shorter because after Connie ran into Gunnar I suddenly had writer's block well luckily I got past that and everything is okay now and Gunnar has met the unknown SCOOTER! Okay well then, Gunnar has became the "mysterous" exchange student from Iceland.

Well that wasn't how I intended him to be, but maybe you'll like him. If you don't we could always say that he was just being "shy" lol.

Please review! Thanks to you wonderful reviewers!
