Julie woke up early the next morning. She had to get to Scooter's dorm to tell him of yesterday's events before the Ducks gossiped about it too loudly at the breakfast table.

On the way she passed Cole, he was Scooter's team mate and a royal pain in the ass. He hated the Ducks and the Ducks hated him, including Julie. He smirked at her as she walked past "Taking the walk of shame are we Julie the Cat?" Cole asked.

Julie rolled her eyes and pushed past him "Don't you think I'd be walking the other way if it was the walk of shame?" she asked. God he was so stupid she thought to herself as she knocked on Scooter's door.

Scooter's roommate answered "Oh hey Julie, he's not up yet but feel free to wake him so he can yell at you instead of me!" he smiled before grabbing his clothes and a fresh towel and heading into the bathroom.

Julie felt shivers go down her spine as she thought about yesterday's locker room incident and Dean, oh yes Dean she thought. She snapped herself back to reality. She has to stop thinking about it, it was no big deal she told herself.

She made her way over to her boyfriend's bed and shook him gently. "Scooter" she said softly in his ear. Scooter made some groaning sounds but didn't wake up.

Julie shook him again "Scooter" she said a little louder.

The next thing she knew, Scooter's arm had flung up and hit her in the face at such a force causing her to be thrown onto the floor on the opposite side of the room.

Julie sat there stunned before realising she was tasting blood. She lifted her hand up to her mouth and pressed gently, the sting of the hit hadn't quite settled and the area was still a little numb.

Looking down at her hand she saw a trickle of bright red seep between her fingers.

Scooter had roused himself and was now standing over her "What the hell Julie?" he screamed in her face. She shrunk back like a scared little animal afraid to move and afraid to speak.

"You know I need to sleep, JESUS" he yelled turning his back to her.

Julie seized the opportunity and bolted for the door, slamming it shut behind her as she ran down the corridor ignoring Cole's snide remark of "Are you taking the walk now Cat?"

Some of the other boys had emerged from their dorms to see what the fuss was, including Adam Banks who was a Duck but because he had to play for the Varsity team earlier in the year he was stuck in the Varsity dorms.

Adam had seen Julie run out of Scooter's room holding her face. Worried, he quickly grabbed his trainers from beside his bed and ran outside after her.

Julie made it to her dorm wishing that Connie had gone out early. She didn't need her prying questions right now.

She had been shocked at what Scooter had done but at the same time wondered if he really knew what he just done to her. Somehow she'd managed to convince herself that he'll be over soon apologising for what happened and they can just go on with their relationship like nothing happened. Well that's what she was telling herself anyway.

………………………………………..

"Dude, I think you should apologise to her" Fulton said thoughtfully. He had been thinking about it most of last night and this morning. If he knew Julie, then she would be mighty embarrassed about the situation and Dean saying he was sorry for flashing her would help enormously.

"Why, she's the one who walked in on me remember?" Portman was a little taken aback by Fulton's request.

"Yeah I know, but it's not like she meant to or anything. She just got more than she bargained for. She's not as confident about that kind of stuff as you are. It'll take her weeks before she can even look you in the eye again" Fulton reasoned sensing his last sentence would earn a rude comment from Portman,

He was right "Yeah cos she's seen the body now man, it'll be all she can look at!" he laughed.

Fulton shook his head "Jeez man you are delusional. Julie's into Scooter. If she'll be looking at anyone's body it'll be his" Fulton laughed.

"So do I have to apologise still?" Portman asked when the laughter had died down. The look on Fulton's face said it all

"Alright, alright, I'm going" he said pulling his shoes on "I'll talk to her, but I'm not apologising. If you ask me it was probably the best ten seconds of her life" he hooted and left the room before Fulton cold respond. Fulton just shook his head and resumed reading his book for English class.
