Hey all! Thank you, RainySoul, for reviewing! Here comes Chappie 3! Disclaimer: I do not own the Duckies! Isn't that a shame? I don't own Guns'n'Roses either. Here we go! Time to introduce the new chick!
Chapter 3
Five days later the Ducks were talking heatedly in the cafeteria over breakfast. Portman was complaining about how sick he was of listening to everyone jabber on about this new girl. She hadn't come yet. It was Tuesday. Portman found it dumb that she was starting in the middle of the week. Charlie and Adam heartily agreed.
"Why the hell would someone miss the first two weeks of school and come in the middle of the week? That would just be too confusing and too hard to make up all that shit!" said Adam.
"I thought she was on dance team. Don't you need to try out in August to make sports teams?" asked Charlie.
"I didn't know we had a dance team," added Averman.
Julie Gaffney laughed.
"Geez, guys give the poor girl a break. She moved halfway across the country to live here. Just cut her some slack. I mean, hey, she might be cool."
"There is no way a preppy snob is gonna be…" Portman stopped talking as the cafeteria doors opened with a bang. A thin, medium height girl walked in. That isn't important though. Lots of girls fit that description. It was the way she was dressed that caught the Ducks' (not to mention the rest of the school's) attention. She was wearing black converse all-stars with lime green laces that were barely visible beneath her baggy jeans. She had on a black Guns'n'Roses t-shirt. She had long wavy brown hair with the tips dyed blue. She was really pretty.
"A preppy snob, huh?" Julie grinned at Portman.
"I resent that!"
"Wow, Portman, resent is a really big word for you, man!"
"Keep talking, Catlady, and I'll have to hurt you, even if you are a girl!"
"There's the Portman we all know and love," said Charlie sarcastically.
"You guys love me? Aww!"
"Shut up, Portman!"
The Ducks went back to staring at the new girl. She was walking around looking for a table. It looked like people kept turning her away. She walked up to the Ducks' table.
"Um, hey. Can I sit with you guys?" she asked rather shyly. "Supposedly, everywhere else is full," she added, sounding a bit dejected.
The Ducks were quiet for a second and she just stood there looking rather awkward.
"Sure you can sit with us! I'm Connie Moreau. We are the JV hockey team, the Ducks. What's your name?"
"I'm Ali Karlon. I just moved in from Washington D.C. I'm on the dance team."
She sat down in between Connie and Portman.
"Hey, I'm Julie. This is Charlie, Adam, Dwayne, Russ, Fulton, Averman, and Kenny. That's Luis, Portman, and you know Connie now, and that's her boyfriend Guy, and that's Goldberg."
When Julie introduced Portman, he grinned at Ali. They locked eyes for a second and then looked away. No one really noticed this so regular Duck jokes started again. Ali laughed every time Averman made a stupid joke about Varsity and she raised a quirky eyebrow when Connie and Guy flirted. Portman had been a bit quiet during the whole conversation. He had talked a little but not as loud and rambunctious as usual. She was a bit unexpected, he thought as the bell rang and everyone started to head to their morning classes.
Yay! Portman is cute, isn't he? So is Fulton. They are the best! Go Bashes! Please review!
