Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Remember Titans people or places, but I do characters that you haven't heard of. I don't any of the music that you might and etc. The names of place have come from places where I live.
My note: This isn't all of it, but I figure I needed to something up so you guys wouldn't mutiny against me, lol. Sorry it took so long guys, I didn't mean for it to. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I'm trying something new with Athena for a little bit, but I probably wont keep her that way, with the help of a certain character, so far no one has guessed it. So keep thinking, and here's a hint think outside the box. I haven't started on the Chapter that is going to be put up on the other site yet, because I haven't to that part in the story yet.
The Chapter with No Name
After her last class, Athena meet the guys under the school's big oak tree before practice.
"Well, 'Athena, how do you like Alexandria so far?" Alan asked walking up to them.
"Well, let's think shall we? I hate it here, and I wish I could go home. That way I'll never have to see these uneducated redneck hicks ever again." Athena said looking up at him from her spot on the ground.
"I was just joking, you didn't have to tell us everything." Alan said sitting down next to her giving her a hug.
"As long as you don't hate us, then everything is cool." Sunshine said with a smile.
"I couldn't hate you guys besides you guys are my family." Athena with a grin. "My only family." She silently thought to herself.
"Well, maybe if she didn't try to kill people and act so different, she'd have more friends." Ray said walking up to them with his little walk he had.
Athena thought it made look like he had a corncob stuck up his butt.
"Oh, my mother fricking lord, you know the truth. You are just pissed because a girl kicked your ass." Athena said getting up and in his face.
"Well, we will just see who beat who, soon enough." Ray said as he turned to walk towards the practice field.
"You know, you are nothing but a racist, egotistical hick! Who is a waste of God's green earth." Athena shouted after him. While Alan and Sunshine restrained her so she couldn't go after Ray a second time.
About that time they were joined by Pete who had no clue what had just happened. So he ran up behind Athena to grab her, "Hey girly. How are you?" He asked as he put her down from spinning her around.
"Oh my God! Would you stop. Just leave me the hell alone." Athena said smacking him on the arm before storming off towards the bleachers.
"What is the matter with her?" Pete asked looking around at everyone.
"Can tell you in one word buddy, Ray." Sunshine said picking up his stuff from ground.
"Well, still I don't think that I needed to be slapped." Pete said rubbing his arm.
"Well, think about it Pete the whole town thinks she tried to kill him, she has been stared at all day, pushed and tripped, the there is the fact Ray wont leave her alone and plus, she is totally new here." Alan said getting both his and Athena's things.
"I know but you'd think that she would take it out on someone else." Pete said looking at him.
"You would think, but that did not happen." Rev said after he had remained silent through the whole thing.
"Well, what's done is done, let's go to practice now." Sunshine said taking off towards the field with Alan.
Just when she thought that the day couldn't get any worse, Athena soon found out that it could. When she went on the field, Sheryl moved away from her and every time she would give the guys water, Boone would glance her way.
"Well, it looks like everyone believed Ray." Athena thought herself.
After a few minutes the principal accompanied by a policeman came out to talk to the coaches, which made Athena very uneasy since they would glance her way.
After what seemed like an eternity, Athena got the worst news she ever got. It turned out that Ray's parents had taken out a restraining order against her, which meant that she had to stay a hundred yards away from Ray. So the principal had taken the liberty of changing her schedule and she was no longer aloud to attend after school practice.
Coach Yoast had been the one to tell her the news, "I'm sorry, 'Athena, but you can't be on the field anymore nor can you be the manger." He had told her placing an arm on her shoulder.
Athena just stared at him, inside she wanted to scream and yell. Instead she just shoved his arm away before turning and walking off towards the school.
Gerry and Sunshine just watched as Athena walked off the field. "I wonder where she is going." Gerry asked, he had no idea what had taken place a few minutes earlier but knew what had happened between her and Ray.
"Not sure, but I hope no one ticks her off." Sunshine said as he watched Athena shove through a group of girls.
"You guys didn't hear did you, she's not allowed with in a hundred yards of me. "Ray said coming up behind them with a grin on his face.
While the three guys were arguing Coach Boone and Yoast were having their own discussion.
"You know she isn't going to take this very well, may take her awhile to get over it." Boone said watching her walk well storm away.
"I know, but what else should she expect, by the way she acted last Sunday. She could have gotten really hurt or worse Sheryl could have been hurt." Yoast said looking at him.
"At least she sent her away before she have gotten hurt. Imagine if Sheryl had stayed, what would she of seen." Boone told him.
"I know I just wish that Athena would at least talk about it, just so she can get it off her chest." Yoast said until he noticed the three guys.
"Well, come on Coach let's go break that up before we have full blown fight." He said walking off towards the fellas.
Athena was walking back out of the school form picking up her new schedule, when she bumped into someone.
"Watch were you are going there, doll, you don't want to get hurt now do you?" the guy's voice asked.
Athena backed up ready to apologize until she had heard the word doll. So instead she took in the guy; he wore blue jeans, a white T-shirt with a black leather jacket with what looked like some black boots.
"Excuse me, bud, but do I look like I'm made out of plastic, I think not. So don't and I repeat don't ever call me doll again. Are we clear?" Athena said crossing her arms across her chest.
"Whatever, doll." He said before he walked around her and out the door.
"Well, that bastard." Athena said to herself as she walked out of the school.
She had missed the bus because she was going to stay at the school for the practice but that wasn't going to happen now, and she wasn't going to sit around for the Coach to get done.
So she decided to walk instead but then she remembered she really had no clue where Yoast lived and Alexandria was really different now.
She had walked about half a block when she heard a motorcycle come up behind her and stop.
"Hey doll, do you have any idea where you are going because you sure don't act like you do." The guy said as he got off.
"Maybe I just want to walk, is that a crime or do I need a permit to walk now also." Athena said turning around.
"No, but do you have a permit for that smart mouth of yours, cause it's getting really annoying, but if you want to walk around like a stranger be my guest nobody is stopping you." He said as he started to get back on the bike.
"Wait, ok I have no clue where I'm going. I just moved here, and I really have no fricking idea. And I really had a bad day, so I'm sorry for taking it out on you. I'm Athena by the way." She said holding out her hand.
"I know who you are, you are that girl that everyone is talking about, and how you almost killed Ray or something like that." He said leaning back without taking her hand.
"I did not try to kill him, but you can believe what you want, I don't' have to stand here and take it." Athena said as she started to turn to walk away.
"I didn't say I believed him, so you might want to wait before you turn your back on someone, Ray could never tell the truth to anyone even if it looked him in the face. I'm Duke." The guy said as he got up from his bike to take her hand.
"Well, looks like you finally have gotten some manners." She said looking at him. Well, at least his eyes are nice. She thought to herself, when she noticed that his were an icy blue.
"It looks like you could use some." Duke said with a smile. "So do you want me to show you around Alexandria or what?" he asked with a smile.
"Well, I guess you could its better than me wondering around right?" She said with a smile.
"Right, so jump on the back and I'll take you on the grand tour of Alexandria." Duke said as he got on the bike.
As she was walking up she caught the name plate and stopped dead in her tracks, "Oh my god, you drive a Triumph TR6R Tiger 650, twin engine, four stroke chain trany. I bet she rides smooth, as butter doesn't she? Have you topped her out at 103 yet?" Athena said with excitement in her voice.
"Man Eric would so kill to ride a classic bike like this." Athena thought to herself.
"So you know bikes do you? A Triumph fanatic I take it?" Duke asked as he crossed his arms again.
"No, I'm a Harley fan but one of my friends back home loves Triumphs." Athena said as she got on the back of the bike.
Athena had always loved to ride on motorcycles, but her grandmother had never allowed it. Athena could still remember that one-day when she come home on the back of Eric's Triumph. You would have that she had committed a murder by the way her grandmother went on and on.
-Flashback-
"But Grandmother they are perfectly safe, honest. And Eric is a safe driver, so nothing will happen to me." Athena said as she followed her grandmother through the house pleading her case.
"No respectable young girl should be seen on one of those death traps. What would your mother say about that." Her grandmother said as she turned out.
Athena thought for a moment before speaking, "Well, I think she would say, 'How was the ride and ask if I had fun." She said squaring her shoulders ready to take whatever punishment her grandmother was ready to give.
"That may be but look where that has gotten you. No parents cause your Father, the dead beat, didn't want you so as soon as you got old enough he left. And your mother couldn't deal the pressures of taking care of you and paying bills so who knows where she is. And they pass you off to me, I can't even stand to look at you." She had said with venom in her voice.
That night Athena had been locked in her room, with no food and for punishment she had to copy the whole book of Genesis, while she cried silent tears cause if her grandmother heard her in the punishment would be doubled.
-End Flashback-
Athena shivered as she pushed that memory out of her mind.
"You ok back there, not cold are you?" Duke asked when he felt her shake.
"Nope, all is well back here." Athena replied as she tightened her hold on him as they entered a curve.
Athena then noticed that they were coming up on the backside of the practice field. "Umm, I need to stay a hundred feet away from Ray, cause of that restraining order and all." Athena yelled against the wind.
"That's cool, you'll be fine trust me, it's at least another hundred yards from the sidelines to the road, so you all good." Duke said turning his head slightly.
Athena gave him a smile and let a laugh as she held her arms out like she was flying.
