Ch 12
Speculations
Julie, Portman, Adam, Guy, Jesse, Ken, Connie, Fulton, Luis, Charlie, Dwayne, Russ, Goldberg, and Averman
In their circle they sat, speculating as to who could have planned this.
"I already said who I think it is," Averman said yawning.
"But why would Coach Orion do this?" Julie asked ignoring Averman. "I know he's mean, and all, but this is just cruel," Julie said.
"I thought you liked roughing it Julie. Unless of course you were lying! Liar!" Portman said still mad at her.
"Portman you're acting like a giant baby," Julie said.
He made a face at her, and then continued drawing circles in the dirt.
"Isn't it pretty obvious that Coach Orion still hates us," Charlie said. "Well, that he still hates me," he added.
"He never hated you Charlie. He just disliked you. A lot," Connie said.
"I should have known it was going to be him," Charlie said clenching his jaw.
"Charlie, calm your nipples will you. We don't know that it's him," Goldberg said.
"Goldberg. I never want to here my name, and nipples come out of your mouth in the same sentence again," Charlie said.
"Charlie...nipples," Goldberg said really fast.
"I mean it Goldberg!" Charlie said. Goldberg pierced his mouth shut, before letting out a sigh.
"It could be Rick," Guy said suddenly. They all gasped at the realization.
"He could have planned all this with his team. Damn them," Luis said.
"Rick isn't that bright though," Guy said. "I don't think he had anything to do with it," he added.
"Those bastards," Fulton said. "When I get my hands on them..." he added.
"What? You're gonna light them on fire?" Averman said pulling out Fulton's lighter from his pocket.
Fulton raised an eyebrow, feeling something strange.
"No," Fulton said still thinking.
"Did they even know we were coming on this trip? I mean Coach kept this whole thing pretty quiet," Jesse asked.
"Instead of trying to blame someone for all this, which by the way it's probably our faults we're lost anyway, how about we talk about what we think the 'treasure' is," Julie said changing subjects.
"I think it's something corny like hockey equipment," Guy said.
"Hockey equipment? Is that all you think of?" Connie asked. Guy shrugged. "I think it's money, or something of that sort," Connie said.
"I don't think so. There's is too many of us to be giving money away," Ken said.
"Watch it be nothing," Russ said. They all looked at each other, and thought.
"Nah," they all said at once.
"It could be tickets to a game," Dwayne suggested. Most of them nodded.
"See that makes more sense," Luis said. "Hockey equipment," Luis added laughing. Connie laughed too.
"Shut up," Guy said feeling embarrassed.
"Charlie's nipples," Goldberg let out suddenly.
"That's it," Charlie said jumping across, and tackling him to the ground. Goldberg flipped him over, and held him down onto the dirt.
The others separating them but Fulton sat there. Thinking. Something just didn't connect...
"Wait a minute. Averman, you weren't with us when I said that about my lighter, and you weren't with us when I lost it. How could you have known it was mine?" Fulton said out loud.
Averman froze, and looked around. Everyone else seemed to stare at Averman as well. Charlie, and Goldberg were still tangled but stopped their fighting.
"Yea Averman, how did you know that?" Goldberg asked.
"Well, umm..." Averman said standing up, and slowly backing away from them.
"We're you watching both teams the whole time? You knew where we were!" Connie said.
Everyone else inched their way towards Averman.
"That explains how you knew what to do in every situation. You don't even have cable. How could you watch the Discovery Channel?" Goldberg asked.
"Averman, you had some part in this don't you!" Julie said.
Before he could reply he turned, and darted into the woods. The sun was beginning to come up from the horizon.
"After him!" Portman yelled.
The whole team ran after Averman who crisscrossed past trees, and bushes.
"Portman get him!" Julie screamed. Portman pushed himself to run a little faster.
Who knew Averman was so fast
When they finally reached an open area in which Averman stood with his hands on his knees, gasping for air, they all stopped, and looked in awe.
I'm so excited! Almost done!
