CHAPTER ONE – THE SCARF

Adam stared into his frozen locker. It did not matter that the Ducks had frozen his clothes, or shoes, or even his Rolex watch. He could easily replace them. The item that Adam cared only about was the most valuable and worthless item in his locker. A scarf.

The scarf was torn and faded, made out of black and white wool with black tassels on the end. On the back it had a label, which read

To my darling Adam.

Hope this brings you luck.

You make me so proud.

Love, Mum xxoo

Except that writing was now unreadable as it was covered in a thick layer of ice.

Adam has worn it under his gear every single game until recently since his mother had made it for him. It was nice to know that she was always with him, bringing him luck, encouraging him. The scarf had begun to fall apart so fearing he would lose the scarf forever, he kept it nearby in his locker holding it in his hands before each game.

While the rest of the varsity team instantly began plotting revenge, Adam carefully picked up the frozen scarf and walked sadly out of the locker room towards the dorms. Adam was too upset to be mad at the Ducks right now. The Ducks now had not only officially rejected him from the JV team but also has destroyed something so precious to him. But he could not be mad at the Ducks. Hockey was very territorial and he was sure they had not meant to ruin his beloved scarf.

A single tear escaped from his left eye and slowly trickled down his cheek falling slowly and softly to the ground. If he had looked around at all he would of noticed Fulton watching him very closely and following him as he walked across campus.

As Adam entered his room he carefully placed the scarf on his bedside table. He could feel the emotions swelling around inside of him, aching to burst. He had to get out of here. Just at that moment his phone buzzed with a message. Shaking himself, Adam quickly changed and grabbed his skates and his hockey stick and left the dorms.

Fulton was just about to enter the dreaded varsity building. His concern of Adam must have been great to consider such a feat, when Adam came rushing out the door straight past him. If Fulton had blinked he would of missed Adam go past he was in such a hurry. His concern for his former teammate was still strong so he hurriedly continued following.

Adam arrived at the old division five pond in record time. She was already waiting though.

"You're late."

"No. You're early."

They both smiled.

"Well, how about we play some real hockey."

"Your on, little one. I'm going to wipe your face into the ice" replied Adam.

'We'll see about that."

Fulton arrived just as the game began. Except, you really couldn't call it a game, as they never seemed to keep score. They just played for the love of it, and they were both pretty damn good.

Fulton heard a noise behind him and turned to see the rest of the Ducks walking up behind him dressed for some of their own old pond hockey fun. They reached the edge of the pond and started watching the fantastic game that Fulton had been viewing.

Dwayne commented, "Wow. These guys are really good."

"Do you think they will let us play with them?" Connie asked no one in particular.

"There's only one way to find out" spoke up Charlie.

Fulton went to stop Charlie but he was already fast approaching them.

"Hi." Conway said to the girl. "My name is Charlie and I'm the captain of the Ducks. Wow! What a shot! Anyway, we were just wondering if we could join in your game."

"I know who you are," the girl said politely. "But it's up to my brother." She pointed in the direction of Adam. It was then Charlie finally recognised him.

"Adam."

"Hey, Charlie. C'mon Georgia we better get you home. You know how Dad worries about you."

"I'm fine Adam but I am hungry."

"You're always hungry."

"Hey. I'm a growing girl."

"Growing out you mean."

"Oh, you'll pay for that one. It was nice to meet you Charlie. Last one to reach the porch has to do the dishes!" With that she skated off.

It was so funny to the Ducks to see how comfortable and relaxed Adam was and how he interacted with his sister. He was also so quiet and shy.

Adam went to follow Georgia but turned waving a "bye" to the Ducks.

"How come you never told us you had a sister?" asked Averman.

"You never asked." As the team watched Adam attempt to catch up to his sister they all realised that they really didn't know anything about Adam or his life.

"I call front line," shouted Guy, and the Ducks began to play.
