Julie's POV
"Jillian be reasonable. Eden Hall is an amazing school." My father said calmly trying to knock some sense into my insane mother. Yeah, my parents' names are Jack and Jill. I sit next to my father with my head down, light brown hair falling over my face. My brother seems to find the whole affair hysterical while listening.
"So is Kennedy Academy."
"But Julie has been invited on scholarship…"
"The hell with the scholarship, Jack! We don't need their money."
"Honey, if she goes she'll be on the best highschool team in the area."
"And away from here, where she belongs! Besides how is she supposed to meet a decent boy in Minnesota? Without us there she will be reckless and become some kind of delinquent. I will not allow it." UGHHH! You fucking insane woman.
"Jillian, please. Julie is a responsible, sixteen year old girl. She knows what she is doing. Eden Hall is a great chance for her. And if she doesn't like it there she can come home. This hockey team is an amazing opportunity."
"She shouldn't even be playing hockey and she wouldn't be, if I had anything to do with it." Thank god you don't you horrible woman. I used to figure skate at her request, that's how I came across hockey in the first place. Nothing I do if ever good enough for her. And to my dad, I'm just his little goalie.
"Julie is a great hockey player, she will excel." He's a compulsive maniac. "You need to accept this. Julie will be great at anything she does."
"Jack, honestly, you can't call her responsible. She was alone for no less than a few hours and she completely wrecks her hair. She cannot be trusted, she's too young." Seriously, I swear I'm adopted. "Julie--"
"Here's a crazy idea." Erik says suddenly. "How about we ask Julie? Instead of talking about her like she isn't sitting right there? And by the way, I like your hair." I smile meekly at my brother, but there was more. I see the glint in his eyes, that he has something up his sleeve. "Julie wants to go to Eden Hall Academy on full athletic and academic scholarship with her team. She has to be there for the scholarship induction by August 7th and she will be there. We all will be happy for her. Now let's just change the subject."
"To what, may I ask?" My mother asked now angry that she had been overruled.
"Oh nothing much." Erik said starting to leave the room. "Oh yeah, Shanna is pregnant." Uh oh…cue family freak out. I get up and walk onto the balcony outside. Champion is laying comfortably on a sofa. I nudge him over and sit with his head in my lap. Eden Hall Academy in Minneapolis, Minnesota with all of the ducks. This is way better than I could've imagined. So Dean was right, it really doesn't end here. I have to be down there within two weeks for the induction by the dean. I can't help but smile, and I want to leave as soon as possible. Maybe buy some new clothes and repack the suitcase. Besides better there than here in this madness with Erik's wedding, apparently Shanna's pregnant and my mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown. A small breeze from the lake comes by and blows my hair into my face. The quickly push back the brown strand. I'm not sure why I dyed my hair, and it isn't much. Maybe one shade darker than it used to be but instead of blonde it's brown. It's light though, especially at ends, and it'll wash out within a few weeks. Now it's pretty much the same color as Adam's hair. As if people didn't already think that we're related. I stand up and sigh. The fight between Erik and Satan, I mean my mother, had moved from the kitchen to the living room on the other side of the house. So I come into the kitchen and walk directly to the phone. I pull a small crumpled piece of paper from my pocket and dial the number that was written on it. With each ring I got more and more anxious.
"Hello?" A cool male voice answers and my mind goes blank. "Hello?"
"Hi Dean."
End POV

Dean's POV
"Julie, hi." I say standing up from my chair and slightly freaking out. Her voice sent shivers through my whole body. I had been hoping for her to call me and now she has and I have nothing to say. What the fuck? Say something!
"How are you?" She says beating me to the punch.
"Uh, good, fine. What about you?"
"I'm okay."
"Gotten into any trouble yet?" I say to break the silence.
"Um well I got slightly tipsy last night and dyed my hair brown."
"That's…nice." Why is this so awkward? I had just seen her yesterday morning.
"So this Eden Hall thing?"
"Yeah. You going?"
"The odds are good. What about you?" I could hear the anticipation in her voice.
"I'm thinking about it. It sounds cool. Do you know if the whole team will go?"
"I think everyone but Jesse. Jesse's family is moving someplace near Atlanta and they won't let him stay in Minnesota."
"That sucks."
"Yeah." She drew in a large breath. "I hope you do come Dean."
"Yeah I know. Me too." I sigh, that sounds so lame.
"So I guess you were right after all."
"What?"
"You're the one who said it didn't end at the Goodwill games. This is like a second chance for the team." And us…
"Yeah, I guess I was right."
"I'm missing you already, Dean." Thank god, because I've been dying to say that.
"I miss you too, Jules."
"What no cute girls over in Chicago?" She said jokingly.
"Not as cute as you, I guess."
"No, I guess not."
"What about you? No society boys for you, Gaffney?"
"There are plenty of them. But like I told you, they're not my type."
"Sure, sure. I still think you'll end up with one of them."
"Whatever."
"So when are you heading back to Minneapolis?"
"ASAP. My house is madness. I can't even find a moment of peace."
"Yeah well its better than being bored all day."
"I'm sorry." She said laughing. "Have you heard from anyone else?"
"I talked to Fulton earlier. He's so psyched for this."
"Really? Fulton psyched about a prep school?"
"Hey no uniform, play hockey, got the ducks. It sounds alright."
"I was gonna end in a prep school either way so it's all good."
"So have you heard from anyone?"
"Connie, Charlie, Averman, Guy, Golburg, Jesse and now you."
"Damn, Julie."
"Well when Connie called Charlie, Averman, Guy, Golburg and Jesse were sitting right there."
"Oh." Lucky bastards. "So how are they?"
"Fine, hanging out at the Mall of America all day, seeing free movies from Averman, skating around. Usual stuff. They're so lucky they're all together."
"Yeah I know."
"Can I call you later, I gotta go."
"Yeah sure." I say surprised by her suddenness.
"Okay bye."
"Bye."
End POV

Julie's POV
I sigh loudly as I put the phone back on the receiver. Erik had come back into the kitchen, thankfully alone but was attempting to listen to my conversation. He jumped up to sit on the kitchen counter and smiled at me.
"What now, Erik?"
"So was that the guy?"
"As a matter of fact it--" The phone behind me rang loudly. Please don't be Dean, not now. Erik would have a field day.
"Hello?" I say with Erik still watching me. I stick my tongue out at him.
"Hey Julie." I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh hey Adam." I give Erik my meanest face and mouth the words 'Not the guy' at him. He laughs and leaves the room. "What's up?"
"You heard about Eden Hall right?"
"Yeah Bombay called last night."
"You're coming right?"
"Yeah."
"When do you think you'll be able to fly in?"
"Sometime this week. Why?"
" I just found out the dorms won't be in use until September 9th."
"What? That's the first day of school right? Where are we supposed to stay in the mean time?"
"That's why I'm calling actually. If you're coming my parents will gladly talk to yours to have you stay here until school starts."
"In your house?"
"Yeah. You interested?"
"Yeah, sure."
"My mother will be friggin ecstatic, she loves you."
"I met her once." I say laughing.
"Yeah she's insane. Anyway call me soon with details on your flight."
"Yeah okay."
"Bye Julie."
"Bye Adam."

I hang up and go to find my father to tell him about this plan. He'll be thrilled I'm sure, he loves Adam's father. And now this way I can hang out with ducks the rest of summer until school.

((I'm strongly debating ending it right here and then posting The Eden Hall Warriors first chapter. There isn't much else I can do with Julie. Maybe I can do one last chapter to help build up why Dean doesn't come back. But I dunno yet. I want to hear your ideas. The thing with the sequel is that there will be a month of drama before school even starts. Review and tell me what you think, please.))
