Ducks vs. Ducks
When we got back to the dorms my feet were hurting, and I was so tired, yet I had so much fun! I took in a deep breath realizing I was a little too excited. I danced, and twirled all the way to my room. The only one left now was Charlie, I thought. I unlocked the door quietly, and saw that my roomies were already sleeping. I was exhausted also, but I went to sleep with sweet, sweet dreams.
We finally got a break from all the classes, and finally had some free time. I decided to visit my dear ol' brother who was in the locker rooms. I strolled in with most of the guys raising eyebrows, and looking back at me. I had my big, dark sunglasses covering my entire eyes.
"Hey Rick," I said sitting down on a bench near him. He was already changed into his clothes, however his face was soaked in cold sweat.
"May I help you?" he asked not looking me in the face. He was still mad over what I was doing, but really I was doing it for him.
"You don't miss me?" I asked raising my glasses to my head. He smirked. "I still don't understand what you're up to," he said in a low voice.
"But whatever it is, it's working," he said.
"Really?" I asked intrigued.
"Yea these past couple of weeks they've played like crap," he said. "They've been so distracted, I knew right away who was responsible for their troubles," he said. I smirked to myself.
"Well, I should pat myself on the back then," I said getting up.
"But do know," he said coming close to me, "that if you get caught...it's all on you," he said.
My smile faded. "Don't think I'm doing this for you Rick. It's all about me, always has been, and always will be," I said turning my heel and walking out.
Coach Orion watched from the bleachers at his team. Lately he noticed that they weren't playing to their capacity. He just sat back, and observed.
"Maybe if some people had their mind on the game we could have won," Connie yelled.
"What are you trying to say Connie?" Guy said.
"Why don't you tell us Guy. Lately you're not even yourself," Fulton said.
"I'll second that," Julie said.
"Yea you would Julie. Always in other people's business aren't you?" Guy said.
"She's not trying to say anything. We're all a little unfocused if you haven't noticed," Charlie said.
"You mean we're all playing like crap," Goldberg said taking off his gloves.
"Yea well maybe we wouldn't have to be so worried if someone wasn't siding with the other team," Charlie said.
Adam threw down his stick.
"Is there something you need to tell me Charlie?" Adam asked.
"Yea I'm starting not to trust you yet again," Charlie said.
"She has nothing to do with it. You're the one that would rather find some mystery girl, then be our teams captain." he said.
Charlie came close to his face.
"If you like those preps so much then go back their team!" he yelled.
Portman came between them both. "C'mon now," he said.
"Fine if you don't want me on your team I'm out! Find someone else for the Hawk game," Adam said picking up his stick and leaving the ring.
"Anyone else?" Charlie asked. He saw that Guy was starting to leave as well.
"Where are you going?" Charlie asked.
"Does it matter? I can't play the next game anyway. I thought the team was supposed to have each other's back, guess not." he said leaving. Charlie took in a deep breath.
"Luis where were you last practice?" Charlie asked.
"None of your business," Luis said. Charlie shook his head.
"Can't count on anyone in this pathetic team," Charlie yelled.
"Thanks a lot Charlie," Averman said skating away.
"Yea nice to know our Captain feels that way," Dwayne said.
"Are you guys done yet?" Coach Orion finally said.
They answered in silence.
"I don't know what's wrong with all of you, but by the end of the week you better get your acts together. Your personal life is your personal life. Don't bring it on the ice," he said taking his clipboard and slamming the door on his way out.
Roxanne read over Guy's note. 'I love the way you make me feel'
She felt something for all of them, there was no denying that. These guys she was supposed to hate with all her guts suddenlybecame her friends. She was falling in love with every single one. She shook her head.
Rule #3: Can't fall in love.
I can't fall in love with Charlie Conway he has to fall in love with me, she thought. She heard her door open, and it was Lori.
"Hey Lori," she said putting the note down.
"Wow someone's being nice," she said putting down some books. Roxanne was confused.
"Why do you say that?" she asked.
"It's usually what's new loser, or no hello at all," Lori said. Roxanne thought a moment, and chuckled.
"I don't do that...do I?" she asked.
Lori looked at her, and answered her with her silence.
