AN: I got my computer! so here are the chapters up to 8!

Jason drove me to the game, but he couldn't stay and watch. I later found out that Phillip Banks, Adams dad, was taking me home. There was no way to get out of it considering I was grounded for two weeks. I skated onto the ice and made my way to my team. The Hawks were in the middle of the rink skating in a circle and chanting their teams name. I remember when I was on the team I had to hide my long strawberry blonde hair under my helmet so I looked like the rest of the team. Or so that's what I thought. Reilly didn't like to have a girl on the team so having me was a burden to him. His way of dealing with it was to have me hide my hair and refuse to let me take off my helmet. I only realized this when I became D-5. They didn't care if my braid was showing at all. The Hawks started to do their line exercises and I was glad I wasn't a part of it. They only did five when they started t scrimmage. Bryan and Ray skated up to my team.

"Hi girls." Ray said with a taunting smile. Karp went for him but was held back by Jesse and Guy. Ray started to skate away but not before addressing me. "See you on the ice Witts."

"Yeah just watch your back Larson." I said under my breath. My teammates turned towards me. I hadn't told them that I had once been a Hawk. They waited for Bryan and Ray to skate out of ear shot before the ganged up on me.

"How do they know you?" Peter questioned.

"She used to be on the team, but as a bench warmer." Adam said stopping in front of us. "Isn't that right Mory."

"Go eat shit!" I yelled as I tried to climb over the board. Charlie and Averman held me back as Adam skated away. I pushed the boys of me and took a seat on the bench. Charlie sat down next to me, trying to cheer me up. He gave me a hug then stood up to talk to the rest of the team. I looked over and saw Adam shake his head at me. I smiled to myself. Adam knew he had been replaced as my best friend. I looked up as was very surprised to see Gordon Bombay. Bombay was a family friend and also my Godfather.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. He looked down at me with the same surprise I had.

"Me? Why aren't you with the Hawks?" He asked.

"District lines changed." I replied. The Hawks started their chant. Bombay was the reason I got onto the team. We just mentioned he was our lawyer and they automatically put me on the team.

"Alright team bring it in." Bombay said and the team surrounded him. He tried to get us to do the same chant as the Hawks, but our team didn't seem to catch on. He soon gave up. "Yeah we're real fired up."

I got out onto the ice and took my spot across from Ray. Guy was facing off against Bryan and Jesse was against Adam. The ref dropped the puck and to no ones surprise Bryan got the put first and quickly passed it off to Adam. I tried to get past Ray, but he pushed hard against me. By the time I got away from Ray, Adam had made a goal. I groaned. Adam skated past Jesse and knocked his helmet off. Jesse tried to go for him but the ref held him back. I skated up to Adam.

"That was uncalled for." I said. Adam just laughed and skated past. I took my place again and before I knew it I was checked hard into the board. I looked up to see the retreating backs of Bryan and Ray. I slammed my fist down on the ice and quickly got to my feet. I was getting very tired of those boys. I skated hard towards Adam. When he saw me coming he passed the puck to Ray. I quickly changed my path and cornered Ray against the board. I pushed him hard against the board and soon found myself smashed up against it. I let out a muffled cry of pain as I used my stick to trip the Hawk player up. When he fell I heard the whistle of the ref. the ref had seen. I looked down to see Adam. He angrily got to his feet.

"What was that about?" he asked. I just smiled and skated towards the box. I sat down and sighed. Bombay walked up to me.

"And you tripped Adam why?" He didn't look happy.

"They're gunning for me Bombay." I protested.

"Of coarse they are. Your their only competition." Bombay and I rolled my eyes. I was out of the box while Bombay gave the team "pep talk". I got back on the ice. Whatever I did I was getting hounded by Adam, Ray or Bryan. Donny Brown had he puck and was about to pass to Adam when I finally got away from Ray. I intercepted the puck and passed it to Charlie. He started towards the Hawks goal, but he was all alone. The Hawks barreled over my teammates an blocked me well.

"Come on Spaz-way!" I muttered as I started to get up. Charlie went to take his shot but fanned it. I skated hard towards the Hawks zone. Charlie hit the board and as he started to get up, Adam came up behind him and hit him hard into the wall. Angrily I checked Adam and he hit the ice hard.

"Come on Spaz-way." I said helping up and handing him his helmet. I glared down at Adam. He was being a complete jerk.

"Thanks Slick. Just watch your back." Charlie warned. As Adam started to get up I pushed him back down. I cringed when I heard that evil whistle. The ref had seen me once again.

"That's attempt to injure. Witts is out of the game." The ref said. The Hawks cheered. I should have know that's what they were trying to do the whole game. The ref escorted me off the ice. As soon as I got into the locker room I slammed my stick against one of the lockers and it snapped in half.

"Damn it." I said angrily. My parents had just bought me that hockey stick. I'd have to use my old one again till my parents got back from Los Angeles. Slowly I started to get into my street clothes. I was about to go check out how the game went when the locker room door opened and he team walked in.

Charlie sat down next to me and shook his head. "Man you're lucky you weren't there for Bombay's end of game speech."

"What speech?" Karp asked. "He just yelled a lot. He was a bigger jerk than our last coach."

I just shook my head. I knew he hated kids. The team got their hockey gear off and dressed in silence.

I fallowed Charlie out of he arena but I was soon met by an angry Phillip Banks.

"Amore Witts get into this car now. Your going home." He said angrily. Cassy Conway, Charlie's mom, walked up behind him and placed a hand on her son's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Phillip, but I don't think it would be a good idea to put me and Adam in the same car." I said glaring at Adam who was putting his hockey things in the trunk.

"Now Amore…" Phillip started but was interrupted by Adam.

"I don't want her in the same car dad." Adam said bitterly.

Phillip looked disappointed. Adam and I both knew it was our parents dream to have us marry one day. My mother had everything planed. She believed Adam and I would get married right after we graduated from College and that we would have four or five kids.

"Well how will she get home Adam?" Phillip asked trying to make his son feel better but it didn't work.

"She has legs. She can walk." Adam replied.

"Adam Banks!" Phillip scolded.

"How about I take her home." Cassy said with a smile. "I was going to take Charlie out for ice cream. I can just take her with me. After that I'll take her home."

Phillip nodded in thanks. "Just have her home by nine. She's grounded and I promised her parents that's what time I would have her home."

"You mean you promised my brother." I corrected. "Mom and Dad left again this morning around seven."

"They left again? They just got back home last night." Phillip said sounding a little disappointed. He knew my parents traveled a lot. What he didn't realize was that they seemed to travel a lot more during hockey season.

"Yeah well they did." I said with a sigh. "Come on Charlie, I'll race you to your mom's car."

When Cassy pulled up to my house I groaned. Adam was in his driveway hanging out with Ray, Bryan and Donny. I got out of the car and grabbed my things. I started to walk towards the house when Charlie called out to me.

"Hey Slick!" Charlie said holding my broken hockey stick. "You wan this or o you want me to keep it. That way when you make it big I'll have something to remember you by?"

"Keep it." I said with a smile. "See you tomorrow Spaz-way."

"See you tomorrow Spaz-way." Bryan said mimicking me. I ignored him and walked into my house where I was met by an angry looking Jason.

"How was the game Squirt?" he asked. I looked past him and saw Alex.

"let me tell you my side…" I started but Jason interrupted me.

"I don't want to hear it Amore!" Jason said angrily. "You are better than that."

"They were all over me Jason! And Adam was purposely going after Charlie." I said slamming my things to the ground.

"He wasn't targeting that kid." Alex protested. "You just thin he was bad that you got a boyfriend."

"Did he tell you that Charlie was my boyfriend?" I asked. "Cause he's not. If you remember I was friendless for a while. Charlie is just my friend. And I'd really like it if you boys would stop automatically taking his side before mine. Remember who ended the friendship. Its not like I had the choice of switching teams. Maybe you could remind him of that."

I was o the verge of tears. They always seemed to think that I started everything. Jason opened his mouth to say something but I didn't give him the chance. I raced to my room, slammed the door, and slid down it as the tears streamed down my face.
