"Looks like Rick the Dick has found another airhead to play with" Russ commented upon seeing Rick's Mustang leaving the carpark with an unidentifiable brunette in the passenger seat.

"Hey! Traci's not an airhead" Luis defended his latest crush.

The rest of the group just stared at him.

"Okay maybe she is" Luis admitted "But she's hot"

The other Ducks suppressed snickers and tried not to roll their eyes. Traci may be cute but she was a bitch and they all knew it.

"Hey guys" Julie approached the group.

"Jules" the guys greeted her.

"Hey isn't Connie with you?" Guy asked realising that he hadn't seen her since Buckley dropped the bombshell.

"No, I think she just wants to be by herself for a while" Julie knew that if Connie was upset about something then it was best to leave her alone until she came to talk someone.

"Oh okay" Guy hung his head wondering why he was even asking about Connie in the first place.

She ditched you man he told himself.

It still didn't stop him from wanting her back though.


"Where are we going?" Connie asked not really recognising the route Rick was taking.

"Somewhere private" he replied.

Connie surprisingly didn't feel on edge or threatened. She settled back into the passenger seat and stared out of the window.

Rick couldn't help but sneak sideways glances at her throughout the short trip.

Damn she's beautiful he noted taking in her long chocolate brown hair, her pale skin, the way her cheeks had a rosy tint to them and her cute little nose.

When he first pursued her he'd just thought she was hot, nothing more than a dynamic piece of ass to play with. Now he wasn't so sure he could adopt his usual 'love em' and leave em' technique on her.

She was like an addictive drug that he didn't want to stop taking. When his eyes fell upon her lips the urge became too great for him and he immediately pulled the car over.

"What are you doing?" Connie asked as he killed the engine. She hardly thought the side of the road was all that 'private'.

"Kiss me" Rick requested unbuckling his seatbelt.

"Can't wait huh?" Connie teased a smirk playing at her lips.

"Kiss me now or I'll jump you" Rick told her leaning further across the seat.

Connie grinned knowing that the handsome Captain of the Varsity Hockey team was now putty in her hands.

She obliged, only because she really wanted to kiss him too.

She felt butterflies in her stomach when he brought his hand up and gently traced a line with his fingertips up along the length of her neck and across her jawline.

He smiled into her lips as she moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, burrowing her fingers through his thick dark hair.

Rick's hands wandered down Connie's back never once going below the waist. He had respect for this girl and he knew from experience that she could throw a decent punch.

Connie let a soft sigh out when Rick laid a trail of soft kisses down her neck. Not once did she worry about him leaving a hickey like she had when she was with Guy because unlike Guy, Rick was soft and gentle.

How can Traci cheat on him when he's such a good kisser? Connie wondered.

Maybe Luis is better? EW NO!

Connie pushed all thoughts of Traci and Luis out of her head and continued with the make-out session.


"Well lookey here we've got some stray Ducks"

The Ducks turned around to see Biff Cole and the rest of the team, minus Riley, Banksie and Scooter standing over them.

"Very smart but you see most of us are here so that would make us a flock of Ducks" Julie snapped. She was really sick and tired of Varsity making the most stupid comments about them.

"Don't get smart with me goalie" Cole warned puffing out his already enormous chest.

"You're just jealous because she's smarter than you" Russ told him.

Cole didn't know how to answer to that. In all truth the tough-mouthed, trash-talking African American with the giant Afro from one of the worst neighbourhoods in Los Angeles kinda scared him.

"Yeah well you'll be crying when we beat you in the showdown" Cole responded.

"Is that all you've got or are you really that intellectually challenged?" Russ asked.

Cole was thoroughly confused "inte… what?" he asked wide-eyed.

The Ducks burst out laughing, even Dwayne knew what 'intellectually challenged' meant.

"No Duck laughs at me and gets away with it" Cole brought up his fists.

Oh shit now we're in for it Kenny thought slightly hiding behind Dwayne.

"Is there a problem here?" Coach Orion glared menacingly at the Varsity team who immediately backed away.

"No sir" someone other than Cole spoke up.

"Good then I suggest you go find your captain and let my team get ready for practice" Orion got his point across to the Ducks.

The Varsity retreated leaving the Ducks by themselves. Even Orion had disappeared.

"Come on guys lets get ready for practice" Russ suggested leading the group towards the dorms.


Connie and Rick were still engaged in their heavy makeout session when a motorist had seen what they were doing and blasted their horn on the way past making the pair jump apart laughing.

Connie glanced at the clock on the dashboard.

"Oh shit!" she exclaimed becoming agitated.

"What?" Rick asked.

"We have to get back, I have practice in twenty minutes" she exclaimed.

"You know you could skip hockey practice and we can practice other stuff right here…" Rick said suggestively.

"Ow!" he exclaimed rubbing his arm where Connie had just punched him.

"You deserved that" Connie told him.

"Okay, you win. I'll take you back to hockey practice" Rick started the car up trying not to laugh as Connie frantically tried to smooth down her hair.

"Its okay, no one will be able to tell you've been making out with the hot Varsity Captain" Rick teased her.

"Oh shut up and drive" Connie rolled her eyes with a smirk.

"Yes m'am" Rick obeyed driving them back to Eden Hall with ten minutes for Connie to spare.

"Thanks" Connie said taking her seatbelt off.

"Hey! I'm not letting you out until you kiss me" Rick said playfully.

"I think that can be arranged" Connie grinned giving him another lingering kiss.

"I have to go" she said before placing another kiss on his nose.

"I'll see you later" Rick waved.

Connie stepped out of the car and walked away quickly searching the empty grounds for anyone who would see that she'd just been with Rick Riley.

Unfortunately she didn't search hard enough as someone rounding the corner had seen everything and he was not happy about it.

How could she betray the Ducks like that? He wondered angrily.
